Chapter 382
"Cough cough, cough cough, cough..."

On the second day of catching a cold, Jiang Qi almost coughed up his lungs while sitting in the office.

"You child, it's already May, and it will be summer in a while, and you can still catch a cold because of kicking the quilt at night. Don't you live in a suite in the train da da theme hotel? The hotel has no air conditioning? Qiao Huifang accused while pouring out the steaming ginger tea from the insulated lunch box.

"Cough...the air conditioner...maybe broke down the night before yesterday." Jiang Qi silently said sorry to the train da da theme hotel in his heart.

"Ah, the air conditioner is broken." Qiao Huifang looked worried, "The customers won't complain, right?"

Jiang Qi: ...

Is this the point?

"It seems that only my room was damaged."

"Oh, that's good." Qiao Huifang stirred the ginger tea, "Come on, take a sip, it will be effective."

Jiang Qi, who was not ready yet, was so caught off guard by his mother who poured a bowl of ginger tea, almost choking to death.

Jiang Qi finally found out that since he and Jiang Bing were no longer left-behind children, the relationship between mother and child in their family has become more and more indifferent.

Seeing that Jiang Qi had finished drinking the ginger tea, Qiao Huifang nodded in satisfaction, and took out another lunch box from her bag, which contained steaming wontons that were slightly overcooked, causing some skin and flesh to separate.

There are seaweed and dried shrimp in the wonton, which looks okay.

"Mom, you even made me wontons." Jiang Qi's eyes were moist.

"I bought it at the gate of the vocational high school, and it costs 4 yuan a bowl. Now there are many people living near the vocational high school, and they all come to the amusement park or take the postgraduate entrance examination. Few of them cook breakfast at home. There are two new breakfast shops in the vocational high school. Home, the wontons here are the best.”

Jiang Qi took the lunch box, scooped up a wonton with the spoon, before the wonton could be brought to his mouth, the skin snapped off, and even the meat stuffing inside fell back, Jiang Qi took a mouthful of the skin.

The taste is not bad, very fresh.

Jiang Qi smacked his lips, and suddenly remembered that he had never been near a vocational high school since he quit working as a part-time agency, and his impression of the vocational high school had always remained at the time when there were only three small fried shops before Bingbing B&B opened.

"Mom, are there many new stores opened near the vocational high school?" Jiang Qi asked.

"Open some." Qiao Huifang was not idle, and took out a glutinous rice-wrapped fritters from her bag and ate it, "Two new breakfast shops have opened, a new fruit shop has opened, and a small supermarket selling groceries and daily necessities Opened one too."

"There are still food stalls in the morning and evening, such as pancakes, meat sandwiches, sausages, etc. It is much more lively than before. Bingbing also went to inquire about it, and those stalls are all from the town."

It seems that Jiang Bing's homestay and intermediary also indirectly boosted the economy near the vocational high school.

"Xiaoqi, when I came here, I saw a new poster posted at the entrance of the amusement park. A new play will be released next Wednesday. I checked it online with my mobile phone. What kind of play is "The Legend of the Emperor"? Why can't I find it online?" Qiao Huifang asked.

"Wang Xinghua wrote the play specially for Feng Ling, and she auditioned for it before." Jiang Qi explained.

"Xiao Wang can also write plays." Qiao Huifang looked surprised, "I didn't expect Xiao Wang to be so versatile, besides eating hamburgers, he can also write plays."

"……Okay."

Jiang Qi said that eating hamburgers and writing third-rate drama books are just two of Wang Xinghua's many talents. If you don't come here, I'm afraid normal people won't dare to watch it.

Jiang Qi glanced at the phone and found that it was already 09:30, which meant that Wang Xinghua should have learned advanced experience in selling peripherals in the toy store.

Jiang Qi finished eating the wontons in a hurry, put down the lunch box, put away the tissues, and was going to go to Wang Xinghua to check how she was studying yesterday, and whether she had learned advanced experience in selling peripherals from the toy store.

"Mom, I'm going to the toy store. I'll leave the lunch box here and I'll come back and wash it later."

When Qiao Huifang left, Kua Kua would teleport over to take the lunch box to wash.

"Why leave it alone? I want a mahjong game at noon. I won't stay in the amusement park for a long time. I'll just take it to the bathroom and wash it with water later." Qiao Huifang said that it's so troublesome.

"I'll bring you breakfast and ginger tea tomorrow."

"Mom, no need, Uncle Huang also made ginger tea for me yesterday, so you don't have to come here to deliver it." Jiang Qi persuaded.

"How can I do that?" Qiao Huifang smiled and began to collect the lunch box. "You have hated eating onion, ginger and garlic since you were a child. If I didn't watch ginger tea for you to drink, you would definitely stop drinking ginger tea after two sips."

Jiang Qi: ...

"Go and do your work. That's it. Mom will deliver it for you tomorrow."

"...Mom, can we discuss something? Tomorrow's ginger tea will be lighter. The smell of ginger is too strong. I can't bear it."

"Do you think it's possible?" Qiao Huifang looked at Jiang Qi with a smile, "You have a cold caused by a cold. Ginger tea is the best for warding off the cold."

Jiang Qi slipped away on the spot.

The theater is closed in the morning. When Jiang Qi arrived at the theater, there were a few opera performers who were singing the afternoon performance on the stage and they were practicing their positions. In the backyard, there were people hanging their voices, and someone in the dressing room was putting on light makeup. A cameo NPC in Taiping Town.

When Jiang Qi first signed the contract with Team Leader Feng, the regulations for opera actors in the theater were how many days each month they had to go to Taiping Town to play NPC, counting their attendance.

But the rule is that dead people are alive. When this rule was first established, the troupe had not yet been formed. Later, as the troupe got on the right track, Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling discovered that if the actors had to go to the theater after rehearsals and performances, Playing an NPC in Taiping Town is too much work.

Physical fatigue is very detrimental to the performance, so the troupe later changed this rule, changing it to the rigid requirement of Taiping Town appearance only for actors who have no performances.For someone like Feng Ling who sings big plays every night, he can make a symbolic appearance twice a month.

I found out that there are a lot of opera actors in the dressing room today who painted the ordinary makeup of NPCs in Taiping Town. Jiang Qi counted them, and there were 7 in the dressing room alone. Usually there are not so many people.

Everyone is well dressed.

Jiang Qi came to Wang Xinghua's office with doubts.

Wang Xinghua is writing.

There was a large white paper lying on her desk, and she was writing and drawing with a pencil and ruler. Jiang Qi walked in and found that Wang Xinghua was drawing a newspaper.

It is a very familiar activity. When Jiang Qi was in elementary school, he often participated in similar activities of drawing newspapers by himself. In groups, a group of children who couldn't draw tried their best to draw newspapers.Because Jiang Qi has a sister who has been painting since elementary school, she is a popular team member in the class. Every time this kind of activity, the students in the same group will go to Jiang Qi's house with snacks and drinks to ask Jiang Bing to help draw newspapers.

Sometimes if Jiang Bing is free, he will take orders from other groups.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Bing has been taking painting orders since he was a child, no wonder he is taking orders so smoothly now.

However, Wang Xinghua's newspaper drawing was different from Jiang Bing's when she received the order. She didn't use colored pencils, but a black pencil, which was very simple and very formal.

Jiang Qi detoured in the direction of Wang Xinghua, and read out the largest four characters on it: "Taiping Miscellaneous News?"

"A newspaper in Taiping Town? You want to run a newspaper in Taiping Town?" Jiang Qi looked down the title, and the first report had already been written.

"He Xiucai failed three blind dates because of this mistake... The gold medal matchmaker Wang Matchpo will explain to you the three indispensable skills in blind dates! "

Jiang Qi: ...

What the hell is this?

Jiang Qi carefully read the first report, it was very short and full of nonsense, the three techniques seemed useless at all, but revealed the fact that He Xiucai failed three blind dates.

Not to mention, Wang Xinghua's handwriting is not bad. Although it is handwritten, it looks like a printed font, and the size is about the same. Although Wang Xinghua's painting is average, her calligraphy is still okay.

"How is it?" Seeing that Jiang Qi had finished reading, Wang Xinghua asked with bright eyes.

Jiang Qi went on to read the next piece of tofu. The title of the second piece was "Tofu Xishi's tofu disappeared, the yamen quickly arrested the murderer, and the murderer turned out to be-".

"I don't quite understand. There may be nothing wrong with the newspaper itself, but it's a newspaper promoting Taiping Town. What does it have to do with the theater?" Jiang Qi felt that Wang Xinghua shouldn't be the kind of person who would suddenly show kindness to advertise Taiping Town.

"I haven't written about the theater part yet." Wang Xinghua pointed to the two largest panels that had already been drawn, "I've already thought up these two manuscripts, and the title of one is "Theater Business Is Cold, Jiang's Class may be in the future." Disbandment", another title is "In order to save the business, the theater urgently launched a new play, can the legend of the emperor become a new hope for the theater to turn around?""

Jiang Qi: "You know how to propagate."

"The rest of the boards will report some gossip, such as the bacon hanging from Li Butcher's house was stolen, Zhao catcher is happy with his son, the county magistrate may visit privately in microservices, Wang Yuan's family is celebrating a bumper harvest this year, the tea stall owner met Slaughter plates and the like." Wang Xinghua excitedly continued to divide the sections, "I asked Uncle Huang about these materials last night, and he can take care of them enough!"

"I'll release four episodes in a row first, one on Sunday tomorrow, one on Monday, one on Tuesday, and one on Wednesday. Wednesday's one is sold out just in time for the premiere of "The Legend of the Empress."

"Two opera critics quarreled in the newspaper on Monday. One said that Xiao Bailing sang well, and the other said that Xiao Bailing was just like that."

"The war escalated on Tuesday, and Dong Yong, the eldest sister, the fifth sister, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the actors of the afternoon tea were also scolded. If the trolls want to gain the upper hand, there must be 4 scolding articles."

"In Wednesday's issue, the focus was shifted to "The Legend of the Emperor". The trolls slandered "The Legend of the Emperor". Bai Ling, but I am not optimistic about the theme of "The Legend of the Emperor", I think this theme is too bold and may be cold."

"Thursday is a super reversal. The premiere of "The Legend of the Emperor" must be full. If the tickets are not sold out by 4 o'clock, Jiang Qi, please spend some money and ask some extras to fill the vacant seats for me. Standing tickets also need to stand. If it is full, it must create the illusion of a full house.”

"In this way, Thursday's newspapers can brag about the success of the premiere of "The Legend of the Empress", rave reviews, bold and innovative plot, and slap the trolls in the face with a brilliant record!"

Wang Xinghua said that although the first issue of the newspaper has not been finished, she has already arranged the next plot.

Jiang Qi tried hard to digest what Wang Xinghua said just now: "As expected of you."

"That's right, thanks to the manager of the toy store, Dong, who reminded me yesterday, otherwise I would have forgotten that tabloid newspapers can also fight and publicize. I am really confused. Obviously, this method is the most commonly used by my father, and many articles are written by me. Yeah, how could I forget this!"

"Store Manager Dong reminded you of this?" Jiang Qi thought about Manager Dong's honest and round face, and sighed in his heart that it was a real person who didn't show his face. He didn't expect Manager Dong's methods to be so dirty.

Speaking of this, Wang Xinghua immediately put down her pen and began to share with Jiang Qi what she learned yesterday: "Didn't I go to the toy store yesterday to learn their sales experience? Manager Dong told me that the most important thing about selling peripheral products is publicity." , Although the toys in the toy store are not worried about selling, in fact, there are many relatively unpopular plush toys that have not been seen much, and they are not well-known, and those toys that are not well-known and have no publicity are also not easy to sell."

"The drama in the toy theater is just a way of publicity. There are many children who drag their parents to buy toys as soon as they enter the park. In fact, it is the first time for them to come to the amusement park. They have never seen a toy drama, but they are in the same class. Classmates and friends have toys in the amusement park, limited edition, this is also a way of publicity.”

"It was Manager Dong who suggested that our theater should not stick to the way of publicity through audiences. Even though the theater's business has been very good before, only a small number of people are willing to go into the theater and spend money to watch a movie. There are many boxes. And the guests in the VIP seat have actually applied for a monthly card to watch the show many times, and the less new attention they get later, but the tourists in the amusement park are actually different every day."

"This kind of situation can only show that the publicity is not strong enough, and the attraction of the theater is declining. After the initial novelty, many tourists are not interested in the theater and are unwilling to try to walk in."

"If there are only 500 people in the market, no matter how well we do, there will only be 500 customers. But if we expand the market to 5000 people, 5 people, 50 people, even if there are only a few of them A small part is willing to walk into the theater, and the final result is more than the initial 500 people."

"Store manager Dong feels that what our theater needs to do now is to make wider, more and better publicity, so that more tourists who were not interested in the theater will be interested in the theater, and let them come in and buy tickets to experience."

Wang Xinghua slapped her hands and raised her voice: "The words of Manager Dong are like enlightenment, and they woke me up immediately!"

"Promote what I'm good at!"

"What my father was good at back then was making publicity!"

"I handed over the task this morning. Let these people in the theater go to Taiping Town to install task NPCs, chain tasks, and deliver things along the way. The final task is to count how many sets of clothes the seven fairies in the night's big show have changed. If they answer correctly, they will receive random merchandise. A blind box, just to clear out the unsold peripheral inventory of Tianxian Matching."

"The release of similar missions for a longer period of time will give everyone the illusion that there will be side missions and difficult side missions in the theater, so that players who explore Taiping Town will come to the theater to check in and explore from time to time. Maybe they will feel that the show is good after exploring."

"I still have many similar publicity methods. If one fails, I will replace it with another. I think this newspaper can continue to run. If the newspaper can still be sold, it will be a source of income."

"Five yuan per copy is too expensive, and there may not be many people who are willing to buy it. After all, there are only two per copy, and I can't make up any more."

"Two copies for one copper coin, and a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, how about it?"

"Who is okay to buy two newspapers?" Jiang Qi thought it was impossible.

Wang Xinghua thought for a while: "Then how about a copper plate and three pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Jiang Qi thought about it, and thought it would be okay. If Wang Xinghua could guarantee the content and quality of the newspaper, it would be a good deal to spend 5 yuan to buy an exclusive gossip newspaper in Taiping Town and eat two yuan of snacks.

"When will your newspaper be out?" Jiang Qi asked looking at the empty newspaper.

"Soon, I wrote the manuscript in my heart, and I just need to copy it. It should be finished at four or five o'clock this afternoon, and it will be printed and sold tomorrow."

"It's a bit strange to sell newspapers in Taiping Town with an ancient background."

"It's okay." Jiang Qi said that it's actually okay, "I believe the tourists won't mind."

My goodness, I can see the gossip about magistrates, tofu Xishi, butchers, scholars, matchmakers and other well-known NPCs in Taiping Town. Who doesn't care if there are newspapers in Taiping Town with an ancient background?

Even if you took a photo of the tofu Xi Shi and went to the board, the tourists probably wouldn't care.

"Print 300 copies first, and see if they can be sold out tomorrow." Wang Xinghua felt that this matter was so happily decided, "I'll ask the accountant to pay for it later."

"Print 5000 copies first." Jiang Qi felt that Wang Xinghua's layout was still small. "The content of each issue of the newspaper is different, and the number of tourists in the amusement park is also different every day. You can't sell them all tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even next week, next week. It can be sold next month and next year. If you have accumulated a lot, you can even package it as a series and sell it to tourists, just like reading a series of novels, it doesn’t matter if you print more.”

Wang Xinghua gave Jiang Qi a thumbs up: "When it comes to selling goods, it has to be you."

"Cough cough cough...it's okay." Jiang Qi smiled modestly.

Jiang Qi looked down at the unfinished newspaper again.

Taiping Magazine, not bad.

Regarding the sale of newspapers in Taiping Town, Jiang Qi felt that he was duty-bound.

Very well, the first issue of Taiping Zabao will be sold by the boss himself, and this matter has been decided so happily.

Go to Taiping Town early to sell it, as soon as the garden opens, just to avoid the ginger soup sent by my mother.

Jiang Qi:
 The old man in the family is sick, and I temporarily moved there last night to take care of it. I, who has not been sunny for a long time, are indeed the chosen cook
