Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 531: Great Value Travel Meal

Naturally, Bian Lang would not pay attention to these things on the Internet. As the year was coming to an end, he had also entered the peak period of welcoming and seeing off guests.

Those who were sent off were the musicians who came from outside to "work" in the company, and those who were welcomed were the classmates from previous years who still remembered the original owner but whom the original owner didn't pay much attention to, as well as the relatives with whom the original owner had never interacted before.

Except for those who have settled in Spring City, all the other members of the Rolling Stone Music group basically go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

After discussing with Lao Mo, Chen Shuting decided to bring the elderly from both sides to Chuncheng to celebrate the New Year together.

First, the weather in Spring City during the Spring Festival is indeed the best among many cities in China. Second, it allows the elderly on both sides of the family who are worried about the two people living in Spring City to see the situation of the Rolling Stones and feel at ease.

With the help of Bian Lan, Chen Shuting rented a small villa in the villa area of ​​Haigeng for a short period of time, which was just enough for the whole family to live in.

The elderly on both sides arrived by plane one after the other. Chen Shuting's mother just left the airport terminal and shook her white stick: "Dear friends, I just left Spring City Airport. Look at the blue sky and white clouds here. I feel that the air here is sweet!"

When the nanny car entered the villa area, they opened their eyes again!

Compared to the greenery in the north that looks like weeds at this time of year, this lush and green community in Chuncheng, which is like summer, is simply a paradise.

The two fathers had already taken off their heavy down jackets and stood at the flower bed in front of the villa, pointing and commenting: "Look at this Monstera, I took good care of it at home and the leaves were all small and not open, but this one was just thrown on the side of the road, and the stem is almost as thick as Xiaohui's arm!"

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Xiaohui opened the door of a car following behind and ran over happily.

Seeing their eldest grandson, the smiles on the faces of the old people on both sides became even kinder.

"Xiaohui, come and see grandpa. Oh, you've gotten quite tanned!"

"Yeah. You've become a lot stronger now. Are you not used to studying here?"

The four old men took Chen Xiaohui aside and asked him a lot of questions, and finally they walked into the villa together.

After taking a rest and tidying up, Chen Shuting took her family of seven, young and old, to the main store of Nan Feiyan at lunchtime.

Originally, she didn't want to alarm Bian Lang, but Lao Mo, an honest man, was able to get all the information out of him with just a few words from Bian Lang.

So the first meal they had in Yunnan Province was naturally treated to by Bian Lang, their partner.

The main store of Nanfeiyan is located right next to Yuantong Mountain. The door curtain on the first floor is not big, but the second floor has a height of nearly 1000 square meters. In addition to dozens of large round tables in the hall, there are also small compartments and private rooms, as well as a stage for ethnic performances.

The Chen family’s private room today is in a hollow room on the third floor facing the stage, and it has the best view in the entire restaurant.

Although it is his own territory, it is the first time for Bian Lang to come to the main store in recent years, and he still feels a little fresh. The four elderly people of the Chen family also feel fresh and feel very useful for this high-standard reception.

On the contrary, Chen Shuting, who often worked as a receptionist here, was more familiar with the place than Bian Lang, and she led everyone upstairs with ease. Then when the store manager came over to greet him, he also called him Mr. Chen, and completely ignored Bian Lang, the young master who had never seen him in person.

Bian Lang certainly wouldn't mind, but Chen Shuting still gave the store manager a heads up: "Xiao Shi, didn't you always complain to me before that Master Bian didn't come to the main store to hang out and add some popularity to you? How come you can't recognize him now that he's here?"

When the store manager heard this, he looked at Bian Lang, who was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, and almost exclaimed!

"Brother Lang, I finally got you here. Can you take a photo with our dancers later? I'll print it and hang it in the store!"

"Okay, the songs that will be performed later will all be from our Yunnan Province, right?" It's his own venue, so how could Bian Lang refuse such a small request?

"Yes, there are Yi, Bai and Dai actors. These actors are from the song and dance troupe. They are all ethnic minorities in Yunnan Province. If there are any problems later, you need to give them guidance!"

Hearing this, Bian Lang quickly began to decline: "How can I do this? Dancing is a profession for others, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to comment without permission."

"We have a young Yi man who is going to sing your "Drinking Song" later. You must give him some guidance after listening to it!"

Bian Lang said, "No problem!" But he was actually thinking, "If a young man sings this song, as long as his voice and sense of pitch are fine, he should be able to sing it wilder than me, and with more flavor!"

At this time, Father Chen, who was a little curious, asked, "Are they going to toast each table later?"

"Yes, Uncle Chen, when I ask you to drink Tongxin wine later, you must not agree, otherwise Auntie will be jealous!"

Bian Lang was just joking, but he didn't expect Lao Chen to get excited: "How does Tongxin wine work? Tell me about it."

Chen Shuting didn't know either, so she asked on behalf of her father-in-law: "I haven't heard of it either. What kind of custom is this?"

At this time, the store manager Xiao Shi interrupted: "That is the custom of the Lisu people, from the Nujiang River. We don't do that here. But if you want to experience it, Brother Lang will definitely arrange it for you!"

Then the topic naturally turned to Bian Lang: "Tongxin wine is an interesting part of the Lisu people's banquet customs. Two people share the same wine vessel, or stand side by side, sit side by side, kneel side by side, squat side by side, or sit longer and squat shorter, or kneel shorter and sit longer. The two people put their shoulders together, ears to ears, face to face, one with the left hand and the other with the right hand, hold the cup at the same time, put their mouths together, and drink at the same time. This is called Tongxin wine..."

As he spoke, Bian Lang grabbed the cup and demonstrated it with little Chen Xiaohui.

The man at the table immediately understood the secret.

Women, on the other hand, expressed their dislike for this way of drinking that was mixed with saliva.

It didn't take long for the food to arrive.

In addition to a set of cross-bridge rice noodles for each person, there are also Yunnan delicacies such as fried rice with dried mushrooms, braised chicken with porcini mushrooms, and stewed chicken with chicken mushrooms.

After the waiter finished introducing it, Father Chen asked curiously, "This is not the season for wild mushrooms, why can we still eat this?"

Before the waiter asked this question, Bian Lang said, "Uncle, I bought this last summer and preserved it using quick-freezing technology. Although the flavor is a little worse than fresh ones, it's still incomparable to artificial bacteria."

Lao Mo knew that his father-in-law was not the kind of person who would stir up trouble, so he was curious about everything and wanted to know everything clearly.

So after Bian Lang finished speaking, he added: "Dad, Mom, please quickly take a video and keep it. You can't eat this in this season just because you have money. This is not on the menu at Bian Lang's house. We made it specially because you are here!"

"Yes, we are all relying on you guys. We usually receive guests from outside. No matter what their status is, as long as the season is over, they won't cook for you even if you want to eat!"

After hearing what Chen Shuting said, the four elderly people felt that Bian Lang, as a partner, was really great for their Chen Shuting and Lao Mo.

Before coming, the four old men did some homework.

They don't listen to rock music, but the performance of "Rock on the New Long March" at the Army Day party did have some influence in their circle.

In addition to going to Europe, being praised by the local embassy, ​​and the flash mob in England, these events still have a great weight in the hearts of these elderly people.

It doesn’t matter what they think you are singing or whether they can understand it or not. As a public figure, the first thing you need to do is not to be crooked!

In this regard, Bian Lang was absolutely impeccable. According to their imagination, during this period of the New Year, Bian Lang must be extremely busy, and he even took time out to have dinner with them.

Just based on this feeling, the four old men felt that this person was definitely right.

Especially the old Mo family, they know very well how capable their son is. If it weren't for Bian Lang's help, how could his works be sold abroad now.

Therefore, the toasts that rushed to the side never stopped at this table.

It wasn't until the performance began that Bian Lang got some time to catch his breath.

Looking at the performances on the stage that had an obvious tourist feel, Bian Lang frowned unconsciously. But when he saw that the four elderly people from the two Chen families were watching the performances happily and taking pictures with their mobile phones, he felt that his thoughts were a bit redundant.

After all, differentiated performances with higher artistic quality are completely incompatible with the current consumption scenario.

In his previous life, he had seen many excellent dance dramas from Yunnan Province. Yang Liping's "Impression of Yunnan Province" and "Peacock" series are classics among classics, but they are all works of art that can tour the world.

What's more, Bian Lang and his band only participated in the music production of "Winter of the Peacock" at that time, and he didn't have the ability to find someone on Shuilan Star to replicate the dance drama.

Just as he was thinking more and more, he saw three black men in Yi costumes coming on stage. One of them was carrying an African drum, one was carrying a wooden guitar, and the other one holding a microphone was obviously the lead singer.

Seeing these three people, Bian Lang guessed that they might be the group that was going to sing "Drinking Song".

Seeing that Bian Lang's brows were a little knitted, Chen Shuting came over and asked, "What's wrong? I gave you the copyright authorization directly. I thought it was your family's business, so I didn't tell you!"

Bian Lang waved his hand and said, "That's not the matter!"

"So you think they're being a bit hasty?"

I have to say, when it comes to figuring out Bian Lang’s thoughts, Chen Shuting is hard to rival!

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I just think they could be more ethnic and more stylized, which might be better! But after all, we can't look at them with our eyes, right?"

Chen Shuting paused for a moment before saying, "Listen to the boy's voice first. Anyway, I've brought people here a few times. Some people think it's vulgar, but Olaf said that the boy's voice is very good!"

"Then why don't you tell me?" Bian Lang asked in surprise.

"Why are you in such a hurry? This isn't like a talent show where you have to rush to sign people. These are all your family members. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. Besides, if you, the eldest young master, come and do the favor yourself, the effect will definitely be better than if I say it!"

Bian Lang gave Chen Shuting a thumbs up, then focused on the stage, waiting for the three people to perform.

But who would have thought that the lead singer didn't start singing when he first opened his mouth, but instead came to Bian Lang: "Thank you all distinguished friends for visiting our Nan Fei Yan! I'm a little nervous today because the original singer of the song I'm going to sing next, Mr. Bian Lang, is here!"

As soon as the lead singer finished speaking, many young diners at the scene began to stand up and look around.

Of course they knew that Nan Fei Yan was owned by Bian Lang's family, but they also knew that if they wanted to run into Bian Lang by chance, they would usually have to go to the snack street shops he frequented!

No one expected that they would meet Bian Lang in the main store during this festive period!

Bian Lang had no intention of hiding. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and greeted everyone on and off the stage.

Then the lead singer said excitedly, "So for the next song, 'Drinking Song', I hope everyone can sing along with me! That way, even if I don't sing very well, I won't be too embarrassed in front of the original singer!"

Hearing this, all the diners present said, "Okay!"

Then the guitarist started strumming the strings, and the drummer followed suit and beat the rhythm.

Although the simplest chords were used, the drummer's ideas were also the simplest: "Dongda Da Dongda..."

But Bian Lang could hear that the rhythm in their performance was very rhythmic.

This may be what the Yi people carry in their blood...

As soon as the lead singer opened his mouth, the wild call from his voice instantly conquered the diners present.

Even Bian Lang couldn't help but applaud: "Those two instruments are really so rough, but the lead singer's voice and singing style are really so wild!"

If Bian Lang were asked to find a musician from the original Earth to compare himself with, he would probably be the closest to Mo Xi Zi Shi!

After hearing this song, very few diners sang along.

However, with the cooperation of the dancers who toasted each table, the atmosphere on the scene was really great.

When they got to Bian Lang's table, the lead singer handed him the microphone. Bian Lang took it and started singing along: "Cousin, pour some wine!"

The diners filming videos on the second floor felt really satisfied!

This is the last table. In the past, the performance would have ended here, but today with the fans hanging out here, it can’t end so simply!

"Bian Lang, sing a song!"

"Bian Lang, sing a song!"

The diners and the actors cheered together, as if if Bian Lang didn't sing today, he would never be able to leave Nanfeiyan!
The atmosphere has already been set to this point, and since it is on his own turf, Bian Lang naturally has nothing to say.

He took the microphone and said, "Okay! Wait for me to think about it!"

At this point, the fans at the scene were all thinking: "This is definitely worth it! Bian Lang is going to release a new song live!"

While walking down the stairs, Bian Lang was indeed thinking about what to sing.

If we follow the previous idea, then it would be best to sing "Ah Jie La" directly. Unfortunately, this song is in Yi language. Bian Lang remembers most of the pronunciations, but he can't be sure.

Since I thought of the Yi people, I just kept thinking about the following things, and then a song came into Bian Lang’s mind.

In this situation, and if we want to express the national culture and hospitality of Yunnan Province, then this song is the best one!

Bian Lang took the guitar from the guitarist, tuned the strings, and started strumming. After the 4-bar prelude, he began to sing: "The flowers on the roadside are blooming, and the fruits on the trees are waiting for people to pick them, waiting for people to pick them..."
