Chapter 95 Watching a play and eating snacks

Since the factory has hired a long-term theater troupe, the equipment naturally has to keep up, so it has specially built an auditorium, where operas are performed on the stage, and rows of seats are like cinemas below.

But this is just a long seat, not a single one, so that more people can be seated.

This is already very professional. When I was a child, I went to other villages to watch operas. They were all in the open air and I brought my own stools.

After all, this place is an indoor field. In addition to the installation of air conditioners, I was afraid that there were too many people and the air conditioner was insufficient for free these days. I also specially installed several large fans on high places, blowing them huh.

Not to mention that for the sake of listening to the opera, it would be nice for the surrounding villagers to bring their grandsons over to play with the air conditioner.

In fact, only some older people can listen to this kind of local drama.

The drama has been a long time before it begins, but the seats in front have been almost occupied. There is a burst of choking melon seeds, chatting loudly, beating and scolding children, and it is also very noisy.

Neither Zhou Heng nor Jiang Xiaoxuan went in first, and planned to look around outside because it was also very lively outside.

"This place is well built! There are not many people in this village going out to work, right?" Jiang Xiaoxuan asked while looking.

I have an enterprise in my village and it is well run, so I must have recruited workers nearby. This is quite good.

From time to time, she looks at the snacks on the roadside. If there are any ones that are good, she will think of buying some to try them.

There is also a curiosity in girls' homes.

This actually gives her a niche travel feeling, and she also has a personal guide. Of course, traveling does not only look at the beautiful scenery, take selfies, buy specialties, etc., and get close to local culture, which is the fundamental thing about travel.

More and more people are coming from all over the place, especially these snack places, which are almost crowded and very lively.

Zhou Heng accompanied her to take a quick look and stood outside her unconsciously, so as not to squeeze into her or bump into her.

Maybe men will subconsciously take women to shopping?

Jiang Xiaoxuan pointed to a roasted sweet potato stall not far ahead and smiled: "In many romance novels, the male and female protagonists will buy roasted sweet potatoes after get off work and then eat them separately. Especially in winter, they eat while holding hands warming to form sweet memories, hahaha..."

Zhou Heng continued: "Then women can't stand such hard days, so although they love this man in their hearts, they still secretly follow their boss as a girlfriend. The male protagonist was pitiful and was dumped. Then they began to work hard to get along with the female star, and instantly became tall, rich and handsome, becoming more powerful than their former boss. As a result, the woman regretted it again?"

Jiang Xiaoxuan was still smiling, but after hearing him say the follow-up, she rolled her eyes.

Is this person a devil? His mind is not romantic at all, so boring.

Then I saw someone squeezed him, but he didn't move at all, still giving her enough space.

Well, he looks quite gentlemanly, so I won’t bother with him anymore.

Zhou Heng didn't notice her gaze, but when he saw a fresh lotus pod selling in front of him, he asked, "Do you want to eat that?"

Fresh lotus pods are not available every day, it is a real seasonal delicacy.

Even if it is air-shipped to sell elsewhere, it will be old after two days, and the taste will be far less.

This one looks quite fresh, probably picked today.

Jiang Xiaoxuan also had a lit up eyes and said, "Okay! I like eating this one very much."

Zhou Heng bought five of them for ten yuan. He saw the wild water chestnuts sold at the stall, and also called them some. The wild water chestnuts are delicious, sweet, crisp and fresh, but the shells are a bit difficult to peel.

Jiang Xiaoxuan said, "Is this also a water chestnut? It's different from what I used to eat."

"Don't worry, this is delicious and won't lie to you. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I'll finish it."

Jiang Xiaoxuan: “…”

After walking for a while, Zhou Heng had several things in his hand.

I met another person who sold marshmallows. Zhou Heng originally ignored it directly, but Jiang Xiaoxuan was very excited to buy this food.

Zhou Heng thought to himself, isn’t it just a snack? Is it necessary to be so happy?

However, when he bought two and ate one by one, he also thought, well, it was quite delicious and delicious. When it poured back later, remember to buy some more.

After walking through all the snack stalls, Zhou Heng could hardly take it. In addition to what Jiang Xiaoxuan wanted to eat, there were some that he bought for his mother and the others.

The time is almost over, so they follow the crowd to go to the factory to watch the show.

The stage there has been already been set up, and the big red velvet curtain covers the lift, which looks quite decent and formal.

However, Zhou Heng was not very interested in the drama and couldn't understand it. He came here entirely because he wanted to pick up and drop off his mother and the others. Now he is just joining in the fun.

When I was a child, I liked to go to the show with adults. At that time, there were not many entertainment activities, so I could buy snacks when I went to the show, and I didn’t have to grazing cattle at home.

When he followed the show, he always ran here and there, and he especially liked to go to the backstage to see people put on makeup and put on fake beards when he saw people.

What impressed me most was that there was a scene that was not sung, but was made by a few clowns, such as silly son-in-law returning home, fools getting married, etc. When he saw the clowns making trouble on the stage, he would laugh along with him.

Zhou Heng walked over and found the seat his mother had taken for them, and then distributed the snacks to them. The women were so happy that they smiled.

By the way, he used to play for snacks, but now he is buying snacks for me.

The dead are like this, it’s really a blink of an eye.

This is the first time Jiang Xiaoxuan has watched a show like this, and the experience is very fresh. Anyway, she just sits down and eats snacks, which feels pretty good.

Zhou Heng said: "When we were young, anyone in the village had a birthday party to hire a opera troupe, and they all set up temporary stages. Sometimes when martial artists jumped around on the stage, the board was bounced one after another. This one was very high-end, and they were all cement stages."

Since the drama has not started yet, the whole auditorium is now full of people, with children chasing and fighting, beating and scolding children, crying loudly, and the big fan is blowing, so the words are a little inaudible.

Jiang Xiaoxuan put her ears over and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhou Heng said it to her ear again.

Jiang Xiaoxuan retracted her ears, and then she couldn't help but reach out and rub them. Hot air came in, and her ears were itchy. For a moment, her heartbeat a little messed up.

Zhou Heng peeled a handful of lotus seeds and handed them to Jiang Xiaoxuan, and asked, "Do you want to peel them for you?"

He just peeled the lotus seeds out of the pod and did not help peel them off.

Jiang Xiaoxuan felt a little embarrassed, but she was extremely calm on the surface. She grabbed a few pills from him and said, "I peel them myself."

The tender ones are easier to peel, and they taste very hydrated, sweet, fragrant, and fresh.

After only two pills, she said, "No, I bought too little of this one, not enough to eat."

I just bought five!

It was too noisy around, so Zhou Heng stretched his ears over and asked, "What did you say? Say it louder."

"Lotus seeds are delicious, I bought too little." Jiang Xiaoxuan said loudly to his ear.

Zhou Heng retracted his ears and felt that his eardrums were about to be shouted out. He couldn't help but reach out and rub them, then stood up and said, "I'll buy some more, the show hasn't started yet."

So what if I start? I don’t understand anyway, so I’ll talk about it. I’m here just to have snacks.

Jiang Xiaoxuan didn't hear clearly when he said that, but when he saw him stand up, he knew that he had gone out to buy it again.

She couldn't help but smile, remembering that when she went out to play with her parents, no matter what country or place it was, her mother said she wanted to eat, and her father would buy it for her.

She thought her father was a good father.

Not long after, Zhou Heng brought a large bag over. In addition to the lotus pod, he also bought some other things and also distributed some to his mothers and the others.

Next, he peeled another horn to taste it. It felt pretty good and had a fresh smell.

This is a wild horn, not the common horn-shaped one, and it will be more tender when eaten.

Compared to lotus seeds, this is not so easy to peel. When I bought the water chestnut, Zhou Heng bought a small thing, which was specially used for peeling.

He tried it, it was pretty good.

People really know how to invent it now. When he was a child, he went to the pond to pick wild water chestnuts, which was so hard to peel.

There was a large pot of wild water chestnuts, and the family members picked the tender ones first to eat. The ones were easy to peel, but later they were left with difficult ones, so they started to bite them with their mouths.

Not only is it easy to bite clean if you bite your mouth, the skin has a bitter taste. In order to eat the delicious water chestnut, I can only endure it.

But now people have invented small appliances, which is much easier.

Zhou Heng tried to peel a few, which was quite fun, so he took them out and put them in a bag.

Seeing that there was something peeled, Jiang Xiaoxuan quietly reached out and took one. She felt a little embarrassed. She smiled at him with a smile, and then quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

This wild water chestnut is really sweet!

This kind of wild seasonal fruits and vegetables cannot be eaten at any time with money. She has never eaten this before.

Zhou Heng saw her like that, and felt that the goddess turned into a girl, and smiled and said, "It's okay, just eat it, there's so much."

This type can not only be eaten raw, but also cooked, such as peeling it and making soup with ribs, or cooking five-spice flavors and wine.

However, Zhou Heng always believes that eating this raw food is better.

While talking, music started in the background, and the play was about to begin, and the sound around him became sharply reduced.

In this regard, the elderly who come to listen to the opera are very conscious because they can't understand it at first. If there are people quarrels, they will be even more unaware.

As the music came together, someone started to sing in the backstage, and the curtain slowly lifted up. A female actor in a red costume walked out on the stage.

The makeup was not careless, and the painting was still very concise, and it was not perfunctory because it was free to sing. It can be seen that the boss in the factory gave enough money.

In other words, artists start performing seriously when they come on stage and will not let their stage down.

From the stage style to makeup, to clothing, to singing, all of them are standard practices.

To be honest, although I can't understand it, my graceful figure and melodious singing style are still very charming and give people artistic enjoyment.

The audience immediately got caught in and began to sound seriously.

Jiang Xiaoxuan listened and took time to have a snack. She felt good - the local opera was sung in Mandarin dialect, and she couldn't understand it even more than Zhou Heng, so she could only taste the charm.

But this kind of appreciation in front of the stage is completely different from watching on TV. This kind of live atmosphere, watching the artists' expressions, body language, etc. up close, makes the feeling really different.

Zhou Heng couldn't understand anyway. Although he knew that these people were singing very professionally, he couldn't focus on the stage.
