Su San left Hongdong County. He stood in front of the main street.
I have not spoken, my heart is miserable. Gentlemen of the past, listen to me.
Who will go to Nanjing and pass my message to my San Lang?
They say that Su San's life is cut short, and he will become a dog in his next life.
People say that the flowers in Luoyang are beautiful, but it is not spring.
He lowered his head and left Hongdong County.
…
Ye Lang was singing without accompaniment. His falsetto voice was mesmerizing. Because of this, the people around him were intoxicated and fell in love with this opera singing style that they had never heard before.
This was a teahouse in Karghalik. It was the only teahouse in Karghalik, and also the only one in the entire mainland. It could even be said to be the only one in this world.
In this world, there were many bars and hotels where people gathered to drink. These places did not provide tea, because some people felt that drinking was the way to be a man.
Needless to say, this teahouse was built by Ye Lang. It was not because he was optimistic about the market, but because he was bored. It was for fun, and also because he wanted to squander!
Simply put, this was a place he built to squander when he was bored!
According to the environment of this mainland, opening a teahouse was basically a loss. People who went to bars to drink would not change their habits. They still liked to drink and chat in teahouses.
And the aristocrats who drank tea would not lower their status to drink tea in teahouses. Therefore, it was difficult to do business, and no one was optimistic about it!
To Ye Lang, this kind of place was the best. He could find fun and squander at the same time. Losing money was his goal!
Seventh Brother had objected to Ye Lang spending money in the beginning, but how could Ye Lang listen to him? How could he not spend money to squander?
…
"The house has to be bigger, it has to be able to accommodate a stage …"
"It has to be like an opera house, where every room can see the stage in the middle …"
"Everything has to be exquisite and elegant, but the materials have to be the best …"
"Tea leaves have to be of the highest quality …"
…
The list of requirements made Seventh Brother sweat profusely. He tried to stop Ye Lang several times, but it was all to no avail. This was because Ye Lang was using his own money, his hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Sigh, he regretted not paying attention to so many gold coins, and even said that he did not want it …
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it!
Just like that, under Ye Lang's attack of money, an extremely expensive teahouse appeared. This teahouse cost no less than 200,000 gold coins, which made people sigh in amazement.
However, just as Ye Lang had requested, although the cost was high, this teahouse did not give off the feeling of showing off one's wealth. It gave off a simple, elegant, and natural feeling.
This was what a teahouse should have!
Although Ye Lang was a prodigal, he did not like that kind of dazzling luxury. That was purely the feeling of a nouveau riche. What he liked was this kind of elegant and reserved calmness.
I am a low-profile prodigal!!!
Although it was called a teahouse, it naturally operated in the form of a teahouse. However, there were some slight changes. In order to conform to the habits of the people in Karghalik, the main theme of drinking tea and listening to the opera remained the same.
Because no one knew how to sing, they used opera as a substitute. However, not long after, Ye Lang removed it. It didn't feel like a teahouse at all!
In order to have the feeling of a teahouse, Ye Lang spared no expense. He trained the waiters, used a long-spout teapot to make tea, and so on.
Therefore, in order to get the feeling of a teahouse, he directly recruited people with good voices and trained them to sing. Then, he wrote his own scripts, which were usually plagiarized …
This feeling immediately came up, and it attracted a lot of people. After all, Ye Lang's teahouse was not for profit, and the tea was not very expensive. Of course, the private rooms were the same as normal places, and they were all very expensive.
However, in a place like a teahouse, one would usually only have this feeling in the main hall. If it was in the private rooms, it would not have this feeling!
And in a normal teahouse, other than tea and snacks, there was another very important way to make money. That was to order opera. There was no way to do this. There were cheap ones and expensive ones. Once someone wanted to order opera, it would be even more difficult to say …
The most important point was that the business of a teahouse was actually linked to the popularity of the teahouse. If the teahouse was deserted, it would definitely lose money. But if the teahouse was crowded, even if the teahouse wanted to lose money, it would not be able to!!
Ye Lang seemed to have once again encountered this situation miraculously. In a very short period of time, his teahouse was filled with people and was often full.
Other than the novelty, there was also the factor of Ye Lang. In Ye City, many people wanted to have intimate contact with him, the little City Lord. Now that the news of Ye Lang, the little City Lord, was everywhere in the city, how could people not be curious?
Of course, this could only keep the popularity for a while. The real reason to keep the popularity was still the teahouse itself!
However, Ye Lang was indeed very important. At least for now, Ye Lang was the signature of the teahouse. Many people came for Ye Lang, but this time, their purpose was a little different.
Previously, they came for Ye Lang out of curiosity, but this time, they came for enjoyment. They came for Ye Lang's singing!
This was because Ye Lang wanted to go on stage and sing before he could train a singer. He had never sung before, so he wanted to have some fun.
However, what he did was incredible. Everyone was shocked!!
Opera was something that had been sung for thousands of years. Naturally, it had a unique charm, and when Ye Lang sang a song in a falsetto voice, his voice could be described as lingering for three days.
Other than shock, there was also shock, because no one had thought that a man could sing in such a way. What they didn't know was that this was actually a singing method that had been created for men out of helplessness.
In ancient China, being an actor was a lowly profession, and women were not allowed to show their faces in public, so it was difficult to find a woman in an opera troupe. Also, there were some kinds of opera that women were not allowed to sing.
If there were no women singing, and there were female roles, then men could only dress as women and sing in a falsetto voice!
Over time, this formed a special singing method, and it had a different kind of flavor. In the end, there were some opera singers who changed into opera costumes and used their men's bodies to cause the downfall of nations.
Ye Lang didn't wear opera clothes or makeup. Otherwise, it would have been even more sensational and would have caused a group of people to go crazy.
In fact, Ye Lang had worn opera clothes and makeup on stage, but not many people knew that it was him. He had left behind a beautiful legend, causing many people to go crazy for a goddess that didn't exist.
This play was all thanks to Ye Lanyu. She had chased after Ye Lang for this result. When she was young, she had seen Ye Lang's disguise. That time, she had dressed up herself, but it was also because of this that Ye Lang began to resist going shopping with her.
I wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve, watch the Spring Festival Gala at home, and ask for the last monthly ticket this year …
