Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Chapter 245 National Day Promotion

Zhong Yuanbing returned home and sat alone on the sofa.

The depression in my heart is hard to dissipate.

"This Li Youcai, I tempted him time and time again, but he refused to take the bait. He's really cunning."

"Now that I've broken off relations with him, there's nothing to worry about anymore. Since you're so rude, don't blame me for showing you some color so you know who's the boss in Teng County!"

Li Youcai had a rare few days of peace. The bakery was operating steadily, and he didn't need to worry about the restaurant and the market. He was happy to have some free time.

After resting for a few days, Wang Qiang returned to the factory to work.

On National Day, the whole country is filled with joy.

All major factories stopped production, schools were closed, and the number of pedestrians on the streets suddenly increased by one or two times compared to before.

Before the farmers' market opened in the morning, people were already gathered outside the gate wanting to shop.

A large stage was built overnight right across from the market entrance. On the red carpet stood a heavily made-up man and woman. The man, in particular, looked ridiculous in a gray-green jumpsuit.

There was a band behind him responsible for the accompaniment, including some playing string instruments, some blowing suona, some beating drums, and some performing allegro, a total of five or six people.

Wang Qiang was directing a group of laborers to carry bread boxes to the front of the stage and arrange them neatly into a low wall.

Li Youcai led Chu Xinyan and Li Youjie from the office to the stage.

"Qiangzi, how are your preparations going?"

"Everything is ready."

Today is National Day. In order to carry out this promotion well, Li Youcai has invested a lot of money and even specially invited a well-known duo act troupe.

I would rather give up a meal than give up Errenzhuan.

In this era of lack of cultural entertainment, being able to watch Errenzhuan for free is a very attractive thing.

Li Youcai looked at the Errenzhuan actors who were trying out their performance on the stage. "Where are the actors?"

"It's all ready. They wrote the lyrics themselves. I listened to it twice and it's pretty good. They'll start with a big hook and then insert a promotional message in the middle. The salespeople are all ready."

The big hook in Errenzhuan is a serious play, which is called big hook because it lasts quite a long time.

The serious Errenzhuan pieces are actually very nice to listen to, for example, "Mother Carried Her Child for Ten Months" and "Respecting Father and Mother" are sung with such real feelings that it brings tears to the eyes of the listeners, and they are very attractive.

It’s nothing like the so-called Errenzhuan actors of later generations who just open their mouths and say: Here it comes, hey, here it comes.

There are also a few small hats that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. You sing them and he sings them, and they sing back and forth, making the Errenzhuan a stink.

A short, middle-aged man saw the people in front of the stage and walked straight over.

"Boss, we are all ready. If the repertoire remains unchanged, we will start singing in this order."

Although Li Youcai had heard Errenzhuan a few times, he was not familiar with it. He only knew that many illegal troupes would often sing obscene pieces in order to make money.

"Are you the boss?" Li Youcai looked at the short middle-aged man.

Wang Qiang introduced the man to the side, "This is our boss!"

The troupe owner was also a smart man and quickly responded, "Hello, sir! I am the owner of this troupe."

"You are the owner of the troupe, so I have to give you a few words of advice. Actors should sing well, whether it is a long piece or a small joke, but you must not sing those vulgar things on this stage for me. Do you understand?" Li Youcai said seriously.

"Understood, boss, please rest assured, our troupe is absolutely serious. We don't sing any of the songs like 'Eighteen Touches', 'Knocking the Buttocks', 'Rubbing the Flagpole', or 'Picking Cucumbers'!"

The band leader said the title of the song seriously, but it sounded a bit frivolous.

Li Youcai stared at the boss blankly.

Just based on your ability to speak, who would believe you if you said you couldn't sing?

"Let everyone work hard, you will get a lot of performance fees." Wang Qiang said from the side.

"Yes, we will definitely give our all and make sure we sing well."

Li Youcai said nothing more, turned to look at his younger brother Li Youjie and said, "It's almost time, open the door."

"it is good!"

The market security guards were already guarding the main gate. Li Youjie shouted, "Open the door!"

Upon hearing the sound, the two security guards immediately pulled the bolt on the door and opened the big iron door from the left and right.

I saw that the door was already full of people. As soon as the door opened, all these people rushed in at once, and there were more than a hundred of them.

"So many people?" It was the first time that Chu Xinyan saw the market open.

"There will definitely be more coming soon." Li Youcai said with a smile.

Most of the customers who came in rushed into the market. Today was a holiday, and all the stalls had stocked up on goods and were ready for a big sale.

After a small number of people entered the yard, they slowed down and walked leisurely in the yard.

"Let's start the show."

"Okay, let's start the show!" The troupe owner gestured to the band on the stage.

The suona player and the string instrument player looked at each other and started playing in tacit understanding.

As the ticking music sounded, a woman in a beige costume walked onto the stage to the beat of the drums. Behind her followed a man in a suit and tie, who was her partner.

"The first piece is 'True Love in the Snow and Wind'."

The two danced briefly on the stage, then stood in the center and began to sing immediately.

"It's the second day of the Lunar New Year... it's so cold... ah."

"A car is the most popular..."

"There's a person sitting in the car... traveling over mountains and hills to the county town... Yeah."

As soon as the performance started on the stage, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. Many people stopped in front of the stage and started watching the show happily.

With the help of the loudspeaker, the sound traveled widely and could be heard clearly on the main road.

"There's an opera singer over there, let's go over and take a look."

"There's a free Errenzhuan show in the market, go check it out!"

More and more people walked into the market, and the front of the stage was filled with people. Fortunately, the stage was one meter high, and the actors were on it. The people below only needed to raise their eyes slightly to see them clearly, so there was no situation where the people in front blocked the people behind.

After about twenty minutes, the opening song "True Love in the Wind and Snow" was finished.

The two Errenzhuan actors did not leave the stage, but walked to the edge of the stage and worked hard to promote Chunfeng Bread.

"Dong Jiang, have you heard of Spring Breeze Bread?" asked the actress.

"Can you still test me on this? Chunfeng Bread is very famous. Everyone in Taihe knows it."

"Red bean bread is sweet, pork floss bread is salty, and chicken drumstick bread is on a stick. If you want to eat it, you have to have money!"

The male actor worked hard to stir up the emotions of the audience: "Is that right, comrades?"

"Correct!"

"Yes!" Many people responded and shouted under the stage.

The actress took a step forward and retorted, "I don't like what you said. Who says you can't eat spring bread if you don't have money?"

"On this day of universal celebration, Chunfeng Bakery is offering a special discount promotion here to thank the folks in Teng County. A box of ten loaves is only three yuan!"

"For three dollars, you won't get hurt. For three dollars, you won't get cheated. For three dollars, you can enjoy the whole range of delicious Spring Breeze bread!"

Li Youcai stood below, looking at the two Errenzhuan actors on the stage, and instantly transformed into a small anchor selling goods.

At first I felt a little bit offended.

But when he looked at the crowd rushing to buy things in front of the stage, Li Youcai smiled and said, "It's pretty good."
