The opera troupe stared at the pouch full of money in disbelief. There were so many gold and silver coins that they almost overflowed from the pouch.
There were … over a hundred of them!
"Leader … leader, you didn't sell yourself, did you?" one of the actors asked hesitantly.
The other actors also looked at Vicky, their eyes full of concern.
In their eyes, this was the only way their leader could earn so much money in just a few days.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have had such a pitiful life for the past two years.
"What are you talking about?" Vicky patted the head of the actor who spoke earlier. She coughed softly and said seriously, "I earned this with my own ability."
Even though the opera troupe didn't quite believe her, they all learned to be obedient and didn't say anything else.
"Alright, you've been with me for so long, but I've never paid you a salary. From this month onwards, each of you will receive a basic salary of five thousand copper coins. If the opera troupe's tickets sell well, you'll even receive a commission," Vicky continued.
"Pay?"
"Five thousand copper coins?!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
They had all followed Vicky from a difficult environment. She was the one who brought them out of the quagmire of life and gave them something called dreams.
The past two years had been rather difficult, but rehearsing and singing together every day to advance towards their dreams wasn't all that hard.
Now, their leader was going to pay them a salary? And it was a huge sum of five thousand copper coins!
"Here, this is this month's salary. I'll pay you in advance." Vicky took out the pouch and gave everyone fifty gold coins.
"This is the first time I've ever held so much money in my life." A little girl held the gold coins in her hands, her face full of joy.
"Forget about you, even I, Old Mi, have never held so much money before. The previous landlord was so stingy. It was already incredible for him to give us five copper coins each time." Old Mi was also grinning from ear to ear. There were even tears at the corners of his eyes.
The troupe members held the money, excited and moved.
Vicky looked at everyone. She couldn't help but feel sad and guilty. She waved her hand and said, "I'll give everyone a break today. Go out and have fun. Buy some new clothes and eat some good food."
"Yay!"
The troupe members cheered. They all went back to their rooms to change and prepare to go out.
They had been in Rodu for a few days, but because they were embarrassingly short of money, they spent most of their time rehearsing. Even shopping was a luxury.
Ibaka waited for everyone to return to their rooms before he looked at Vicky and said, "Leader, I don't have much money. Why don't you keep this money first? We just settle down. There are still many things that we need to spend money on.. The rent of this theater's rent."
Vicky. ''s.................. of''s's's...........................................
What a simple, nice guy. He never thought about what he should do. He always thought about others more than himself.
. "" Uncle Ibaka, keep the money well. We'll go out and buy some clothes later. Look, your clothes are already torn. You're one of the stars of the Black Cat Song Troupe. You have to pay attention to your temperament. " Vicky pushed Ibaka's hand back with a smile. "I know what to do with the troupe. Also, we've already opened for business, haven't we? The response to the trial opening was pretty good. We'll officially open for business tomorrow. With our ability, we definitely won't have to worry about the audience."
Ibaka looked at Vicky. A smile appeared on his tough face. He didn't force her. He nodded, and said, "Alright, I believe in Leader."
…
"Little Mara, when will the Black Cat Song Troupe open for business?"
"Yeah, I've been itching to go and see what Miss Black Cat looks like these days. Why hasn't it opened for business yet?"
"Exactly. What's an opera? We'll only know if it's good after we see it."
Under the big tree at the end of Romo Street, a group of uncles and aunties surrounded Mara, chatting with each other.
"Don't worry. When Leader comes back in two days, the opera troupe will reopen. I'll invite you all to watch it together then," Mara said with a smile.
In addition to practicing her voice with Uncle Ibaka these days, Mara began to promote the Black Cat Opera Troupe and popularize opera in the neighborhood.
The little girl grew up on Romo Street and was very popular with everyone.
After she spared no effort in promoting, the neighbors on Romo Street now knew that a new opera troupe had opened on Romo Street and would perform the latest opera.
And not only the neighbors, but the guests of Titan Tavern would also be promoted by Mara from time to time.
With Mara's efforts, the Black Cat Opera Troupe, which had been closed for a few days, quietly gained a certain amount of popularity in a small area.
"Sigh, although Leader and the seniors are amazing, they don't know how to promote at all. It's difficult to accumulate popularity like this." Mara strolled around and returned to Titan Tavern. She sighed softly and looked at Saipan Tavern opposite, which had also been closed for a few days. She was a little worried.
"Where did Master and his family go? If this continues, everyone will probably forget about Saipan Tavern … "
"What are you thinking about? Titan Tavern can be revitalized, and Saipan Tavern is only closed for a few days. These days, there are many people stopping at the entrance and asking about it." Efie suddenly appeared behind Mara and said with a smile.
"But Miss, didn't you say that Master doesn't want to open the tavern anymore?" Mara turned around.
Efie was silent and thought about Mr. Hades's suggestion that day.
The business of the tavern was so good, but he closed it just like that. This meant that it was really nothing to him.
If she didn't take over, Saipan Tavern might really disappear.
"Mara, do you want to be the boss?" Efie asked with a smile.
"Me?" Mara was stunned and quickly shook her head. "I don't want to, I just want to be a waitress."
"Good for nothing." Ai Fei reached out and slapped her head.
…
"What a strange design, but it looks so gorgeous. I wonder if it can be made in a day." Gloria was holding a design blueprint and looking at the gorgeous black lolita dress on it. Her eyes were shining as if she was admiring a piece of art.
There were a few design blueprints beside her, and they were all very gorgeous clothes.
These were the blueprints that Meg gave her at the end of today's gathering. He asked her to help him make a few clothes.
In return, he gave her the right to use these blueprints.
Meg was more urgent, so he only gave her one day.
Fortunately, in order to make winter clothes for the soldiers, Suede gathered the best tailors in Chaos City, and selected a group of outstanding tailors from the ordinary people.
"I have to at least finish a part of it," Gloria murmured to herself as she called Mars in.
