Datang Institute of Technology

The seat ticket drawn by Xu Changsheng is absolutely impossible for others to fake.

The painting style alone cannot be copied by others.

When the tickets were shipped back to Chang'an, Xu Changsheng began to arrange to sell them at several Xu's supermarkets in Chang'an.

A sign was put up directly at the entrance of the supermarket, which said, "Seat tickets for the first performance of Journey to the West are now on sale."

seat ticket?

What is this?

For the people of Datang, this thing is too new.

So I ran into the supermarket and asked, "What do you mean by this seat ticket?"

The supermarket staff who had already unified their caliber said, "Isn't Immortal Restaurant going to perform "Journey to the West"? Then you can go in and watch it with this ticket."

The inquirer was taken aback, "Just going in to have a look, and you still need to spend money if you don't eat?"

The staff member explained, "Now people in Chang'an want to go to see the amazing performance of Journey to the West uploaded at His Majesty's banquet. There are too many people. If they rush in, it will inevitably cause accidents. There is no other way. Everyone is safe."

"But the ticket is too expensive, isn't it?"

"Members of Xu Family Supermarket get a [-]% discount, and this ticket will only be sold to members of Xu Family Supermarket."

"..."

There are a lot of people asking, and many people are hesitant, because even a [-]% discount is quite expensive.

They just look at it, so much money?If it was real, maybe they wouldn't be so entangled.

In Datang, they are still accustomed to using money to buy real things, and there is no concept of spiritual entertainment expenses at all.

So at the very beginning, some tickets were sold in twos and threes, but not many.

Xu’s Supermarket made it very clear to those who bought the tickets, “Please be sure to bring your tickets with you when the time comes, and enter with the tickets. Immortal Restaurant only recognizes the tickets but not the people.”

The people who bought the tickets were stunned for a moment, it is really a strange rule.

However, those who bought tickets were also full of surprises, "This ticket looks really good."

"Just this ticket is worth collecting, and the money is not wasted."

For this reason, a lot of tickets were sold out.

But all in all, there were not as many sales as expected.

Uncle Xu Zheng was a little anxious. Didn't Changsheng say that he wanted to use this to make their new restaurant famous?

Xu Changsheng smiled, "Just wait, this is just the beginning, our tickets will definitely be sold."

Sure enough, not long after, the situation changed, and people came to buy tickets one after another.

Compared with these ordinary people who care about the price, the children of the aristocratic family hurriedly asked someone to buy tickets after learning what kind of seat tickets they needed to watch the "Journey to the West" performance.

This amount of money is nothing to them.

These princes of aristocratic families got more news than ordinary people, and maybe someone from their family had attended His Majesty Li Er's birthday party, and they would definitely brag about it when they came back.

That's why they don't care about such a small amount of money. What they care about is whether they can buy tickets.

It didn't take long for Xu's supermarket to line up, and uncle Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that the people who asked were stunned. They were still considering whether to buy it or not. Why is the line so long all of a sudden?

And then, Xu's Supermarket said in a sorry voice, "I'm sorry, non-members of Xu's Supermarket cannot purchase."

Among them is the servant of Tang Jian's family, Minister of Rites. Their family is not allowed to buy anything from Xu's supermarket. He came because their young master Tang Xun secretly asked him to come. How could he be a member of Xu's supermarket?

Xu's Supermarket's regulations are very strict, so they don't sell to him no matter what.

Jumping angrily, "How do you do business? You don't even want the money delivered to your door? Is it okay if I pay twice the money?"

"Sorry, that's the rule, and we're just selling according to the rule."

In the end, he couldn't buy a ticket at Xu's supermarket, but this servant was so smart that he actually spent twice as much to buy it from other people.

The people around were stunned, and the price doubled just by changing hands like this?

Many people thought about it. They just saw that many people who were not members of the Xu Family Supermarket didn't get tickets.

Just about to line up to buy and sell second-hand tickets, at this time, the person from Xu’s Supermarket spoke again, “I’m sorry everyone, the last ticket has been sold. So far, all seats in this store have been sold out. If you are interested, you can go to other Xujia supermarkets to see if there are any tickets left."

Everyone was taken aback, sold out so quickly?

Didn't it mean that there are eleven fairy restaurants in total?How many seats are there, and why are they sold out so quickly?

There are indeed a lot of seats in Eleven Immortal Restaurant, but there are many people watching.

A group of people who are still hesitant to buy tickets don’t have to hesitate anymore, because they can’t buy them if they want to, and they said, “You are so stupid to buy such expensive tickets.”

"That's right, if you regret it then, don't clamor for a refund."

Before he finished speaking, a servant of a big family lined up behind said, "Whoever is willing to sell the ticket to me, I am willing to pay double the price."

As soon as the words fell, many people were stunned. The eyes of several other servants from different families lit up. They were still thinking, how would they explain when they went back without buying a ticket?When they first left, the young lady of their family made it clear that they must buy the tickets.

He also shouted to the surroundings, "Whoever wants to sell tickets, I will pay double the price to buy them."

The people who scolded them for buying tickets just now were stunned and slapped their thighs. If they had known that they would have bought it without hesitation just now, they would have doubled their money now.

The ticket price is not cheap, and it is very tempting for many ordinary people to make double the money directly.

The servants of these princes and ladies also laughed, and they finally completed the task of buying tickets.

However, there were still quite a few people who didn’t get tickets, and shouted at Xu’s Supermarket with a bad face, “Why don’t you prepare more tickets? How can we explain when we go back?”

"That's right, our young master has to say that I'm not doing my job well and break my leg."

The people from Xu’s Supermarket hurriedly explained, “There’s no way around this, everyone, look at the different numbers marked on the tickets, this is where you can enter the Immortal Restaurant, one ticket for one location, that is to say, the Immortal Restaurant There are only as many votes as there are positions, and there are only those positions, and they cannot be created out of thin air, so... there are only so many votes."

Although the explanation was clear, many people still complained deeply, how could they go back and explain it.

At this time, Xu Changsheng was delivering tickets everywhere, and he left some favors.

Good friend Li Chengqian will definitely give it away, and he will give five tickets as soon as he gives it away. It is the best private room on the second floor, so the view is not crowded.

Li Chengqian was taken aback, and said, "I don't want so much."

Although I have seen it once, it is good to watch it again, the scene is really obsessed.

Xu Changsheng patted his head. His good friend had a cold face all day long. There were not many friends of the same age. He said, "His Royal Highness, you can give away the extra tickets."

He also has to work hard to make friends with his best friends.

After seeing off the prince, he ran to Fang Xuanling.

When Fang Xuanling heard that Xu Changsheng was here to give gifts, he hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go."

What kind of gift does he accept, and he thinks his reputation is not bad enough.

He is a dignified prime minister, and now he has become someone's gossip, as long as it is a good one, but now he talks about how much his house makes and how long it takes for the lights to go out at night, which makes him feel miserable.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Master Fang, it's not any other valuables, but a few tickets to the Journey to the West performance."

Fang Xuanling was taken aback: "Aren't all the tickets sold out? Why do you still have more?"

He already owned a Xu's supermarket, so he also knew the tickets for Journey to the West. He planned to ask his Xu's supermarket to keep two tickets for him, but when he asked, he had already sold one and there was no one left. No.

Xu Changsheng smiled, "I have reserved all the good positions."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

This clever ghost is actually used as a favor, so treacherous at such a young age, what if he becomes a corrupt official in the future?Wei Zheng had to hit him more.

But now, he just accepted these tickets. His wife and son asked him for tickets every day, and even blocked him with words. They obviously had Xu's supermarket in their house, but they just didn't have tickets.

Xu Changsheng smiled and accepted his ticket, and he wrote it down in a notebook, and if he dared to join him in the court in the future, he would take out his notebook and beat them in the face.

In front of Fang Xuanling, Xu Changsheng took out a small notebook and wrote, "Today, Mr. Fang will charge me five tickets."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Xu Changsheng smiled and ran away.

Then I went to several places to deliver tickets.

……

The opening of the Immortal Restaurant is only the third day after the ticket sale.

People who have tickets now take them out to have a look. First, they are really looking forward to this well-known performance, and second, this ticket is very interesting to them.

The little man painted on the ticket is very interesting. Although it is a monkey, it is like a human being, which makes people imagine.

Three days passed amidst the noise, and during these three days, Xu Changsheng still got up earlier than the hen to go to court every day.

However, he has also learned to be smart. Every day when he wakes up, his pocket is full of bread and other food. Even if he doesn't eat now, when he goes to court, he can pretend to be wiping sweat and so on because of his small stature and hiding behind people. Take a bite.

There are no major events in the court for the past three days. Li Er has already ordered the collection of pig liver and medicine for altitude sickness.

Because of the opening of Immortal Restaurant, Xujia Village is also slaughtering pigs on a large scale.

Now Xujia Village is doing its best to make pork liver into snacks, vacuumize it, and hand it over to the court as soon as possible to transport it to the front line.

Chaotang is always waiting for the military report from the front line.

There seemed to be fierce contention mixed with the quietness.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xu Changsheng. He is just a petty official standing at the door, and he would be scared to death if he secretly ate some bread.

This official should be trembling.

On this day, ten new fairy restaurants opened.

A lot of people came early in the morning with tickets in their hands. They thought they would not be able to squeeze in because they were late, and they didn't really understand the meaning of one ticket per seat.

The people from Xujia Village had already prepared, and said, "Everyone can go in first. There is an ice basin in the Immortal Restaurant, which is very cool. However, the performance will start at the originally scheduled time, and you still have to wait for a while." time."

Everyone looked at the sky, and it was estimated that it would be hot soon, and it was better to wait inside than outside.

A swarm of bees started to walk inside.

As soon as he entered the door, an upstart boy shouted, "Boss, arrange the best private room for us."

"This..." The people from Xujia Village hurriedly explained, "Everyone, please look at the ticket in your hand. Your position is written on the ticket and cannot be changed."

Everyone saw that there was indeed a number on the ticket, and the same number was marked on every table in the Immortal Restaurant.

Is this what one seat per ticket means?

The upstart boy searched for him and found his place in a corner. His sight was not particularly good, so he couldn't help feeling unhappy, "Boss, how do you do business? I want a private room in Tianzi No. [-] room. I have enough money. "

"Young master, the seats are all pre-determined. If you suddenly request to change seats like this, the seats of other people will also have to be changed. In this way, the performance of "Journey to the West" may not be able to proceed on time." The people from Xujia Village explained.

"What's the matter with me, anyway, I gave the money, I can't choose the position myself?"

The sound is getting louder.

At this time, a person who looked like a servant upstairs looked down, "What is making such a noise?"

The people from Xujia Village replied, "It's nothing serious, it's just that this young master wants to change positions."

The waiter frowned, "Hasn't the location been fixed long ago? Don't make any mistakes."

After speaking, I went back to the private room.

The corner of the nouveau riche's mouth twitched, so that if he doesn't make trouble, he won't make trouble?And is he making trouble?It wasn't that he didn't give the money, and said, "No matter, I have to ask for Tianzi No. [-] room today."

The people in Xujiacun couldn't, and this position definitely couldn't be changed. If there was the first one, there would be a second one, and then the trouble would be big.

The people around looked over, of course they want a better seat, because as far as they know, the fare is the same.

At this time, Xu Changsheng happened to come in, and rushed upstairs, saying, "Uncle Clan, is the prince here?"

The clan uncle replied, "Not yet, but the prince's attendant is in the room."

"Oh, pay attention to the order, don't disturb His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Changsheng ran into the room where the servant just entered.

The group of people below looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at the nouveau riche son with unison.

How dare you grab the crown prince's position?He is desperate.

The upstart son was sweating on his forehead, how could he have forgotten that this is the property of the Xu family, no one knew the relationship between the son of the Xu family and the crown prince, and the crown prince would also come.

Swallowing his saliva, he thought it was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't make a big deal out of it, and then ran to his place in desperation.

At this time, someone came in again, it was Fang Yiai and his mother who came, and they went directly to the Tianzi No. [-] room above.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva again, and looked at the private rooms above. From this point of view, it's not bad for them to sit down. See who these private rooms are, they don't dare to make trouble after eating bear heart and leopard. If any of the above is dissatisfied, it is not their responsibility.

Well-behaved.

Xu Changsheng ran into the room, and sure enough there was only one servant.

The servant hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen Mr. Xu."

Xu Changsheng nodded like a grown-up. He is now an official of the Eastern Palace, the prince's secretary, and a Zhongsheren. He happens to be in charge of these little servants of the Eastern Palace, and he is their immediate boss.

He has to be more dignified.

With a swing of the splayed legs, the back of the small hand is behind the back.

When the crown prince comes to them, safety must come first. He must come to check and accompany him. There must be no accidents. Although the security in Chang'an is very good now, he can also take precautions, especially when there are so many people.

I looked around and found nothing wrong, now I'm waiting for the people who bought the tickets to come.

There are two floors in total, so there must be one or two hundred seats.

Before long, more and more people came one after another.

Surprisingly, there was no noise downstairs.

Although he had already posted some reminders on the wall, please keep quiet after the performance, anyway, that's what it meant.

But the people of Datang came into contact with this for the first time, so they just abide by the rules?

He looked down at every turn, thinking that no one was here, but the seats below were already almost full.

Scratching his head was also strange.

He didn't know that the people who came in were stunned when they saw the silence.

After asking, I found out, Prince, the family members of Fang Xiangfu will be here today, can they not abide by the slogans on the wall?

To be honest, even if they were sons and daughters of aristocratic families, they had never been so close to the crown prince or the prime minister.

In the era of imperial power, the word prince itself carried supreme majesty.

The people below are not all young masters, there are actually some women in men's clothing.

Xu Changsheng sold the tickets separately, that is, one side for women and one side for men.

The Tang Dynasty has a strong female style, which can be seen from the emergence of a female emperor, but the defense between men and women is still necessary.

Although these women were wearing men's clothes, everyone knew that she was a woman when they sat there. Most of the women did not come alone, they were friends with each other. They were not afraid of things at all, and even kept looking at the men.

The members of the Xu family will also use curtains to separate men and women.

Not long after, the crown prince and the minister of the house came, and a group of people were stunned to see it. Not only these two people, but also some family members of the court officials, etc., also went up to the second floor with tickets.

There were many guards standing outside the Immortal Restaurant.

In this way, no one dared to make trouble, and it was extremely quiet.

These guards didn't care about anything, they just stood straight at the door.

Originally, many people were afraid to come in, but after observing for a while, they dared to move closer when they saw that these soldiers were like logs.

In addition to those who had tickets, there were also a group of people who didn't have tickets and gathered around to watch the fun.

Of course, it is impossible for the Xu family to let them in now.

After they were stopped, they didn't dare to make trouble. They didn't see so many guards standing at the door, but the knife was very bright.

Put your feet on the outside and look inside, what is going on inside?They were so curious that they would have bought a ticket if they had known.

But after these two days, it is no longer possible to buy tickets from others at a high price, and no one is willing to sell them.

In other words, the people who can go in are either those who refuse to sell tickets anyway, or those who don't care about the little money. At least most of them are educated and have read a little.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Xu Changsheng hurried into the room.

Then he looked behind the prince, why are there only a few servants?Didn't he give the prince five tickets to invite some friends?

Xu Changsheng looked at Li Chengqian, "His Royal Highness, your friend?"

This kind of entertainment must be fun with friends.

Li Chengqian pointed to several servants, "The tickets are given to them."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

Could it be that his good friend really has no friends?

Can't even find someone to send five tickets?

Shaking his head, it's no wonder that his good friend has always had no expression on his face, he looks precocious as an adult, it turns out that he lacks childhood at all.

Xu Changsheng knew that the ancients matured precociously, they were well-mannered at the age of eleven or twelve, but Li Chengqian was definitely the most mature one he had ever seen.

He himself is mature enough, but this is because he has an adult soul in his body, but Li Chengqian is not, look at what he is doing now?Help His Majesty Li Er revise the memorial and supervise the country as the prince...

In modern times, Li Chengqian is still a student.

Xu Changsheng shook his head, precocious, precocious.

The servant who came in saluted Xu Changsheng, "Meet Mr. Xu."

The corners of Xu Changsheng's mouth turned up. Look, this is what it looks like to be an official. It doesn't look like the position of Xuan Yilang. Not to mention the small official, he is still tired and has nothing to do.

Xu Changsheng nodded and hummed.

How about it?How is he?

Li Chengqian looked at Xu Changsheng with his head upturned, and was taken aback, what is he doing?

Li Chengqian basically stepped on the point, so the performance of "Journey to the West" is almost the same.

Below, the people from the Xu family have already separated the men and women with curtains, and after confirming that there is no problem, they arranged for the people from the Xu family to sit between the two isolated groups of people. There is no problem with this kind of thing.

The group of women were also talking in low voices, and they were quite satisfied with the Xu family's arrangement. They were brave enough to come out, so they might not be afraid of men's harassment, so it would be best to take more precautions now.

At this moment, the people from the Xu family went to draw the curtains again. The curtains were all covered with black cloth, covering the sunlight, and the entire Immortal Restaurant was darkened.

This is specially designed to make the performance even better.

But people both outside and inside were stunned, what is this for?Why did you cover the windows with black cloth?It was dark and mysterious.

Even Li Chengqian looked at Xu Changsheng, which was not the case at the birthday banquet last time.

Xu Changsheng replied, "This way the effect is better."

There was no other way last time, the imperial garden was so big, he couldn't block the light outside.

This time it was an indoor performance, so of course he had to do his best.

Of course, others don't know why.

I was a little nervous, but also a little looking forward to it.

He thought to himself, even the prince, the house minister, and the family members of many officials are here, what are they afraid of.

The courage of the people in Datang was good, and soon the panic in their hearts was replaced by curiosity and anticipation, and even people they knew chatted with each other in whispers.

The stage-like place in the Immortal Restaurant was tightly covered by black curtains.

A clan uncle stepped onto the stage and gestured downward.

Now everyone is paying attention to him, and all whispers have basically stopped.

Uncle Clan then said, "Everyone, before the performance starts, I have to declare one thing first. Everything you will see later is fake, and it is the result of long-term rehearsals in our Xujia Village..."

This was also arranged by Xu Changsheng, these people must be vaccinated.

The last time the scene was like that, it was because he hadn't had a pre-vaccination, but he was exhausted.

Uncle Zu is still emphasizing, "So no matter what you see later, don't panic, don't scream, and don't get up and run around. When you step on someone, the yamen will intervene. Do you understand?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, is it so miraculous?Make them scream and maybe even run around?

Xu Changsheng was watching from above, and fortunately he chose Journey to the West. If there is any scary scene, even if it is vaccinated like this, the scene may not be easy to control.

The first episode of "Journey to the West" was nothing more than a surprise to them. They had been vaccinated and there were so many people who were courageous, so there shouldn't be any problem.

The uncle is still emphasizing, "Everyone, you can hear clearly, what you will see later is all fake."

"The members of the Xu family, how can we be so talkative? We can hear it clearly. It's just that they are all fake."

Uncle Clan went on in embarrassment. This was Chang Sheng's account, and he also reminded him again and again according to the account.

At this time, a beam of light hit the stage. This is the beam of light drawn by the bronze mirror, which will appear particularly bright in a dark environment.

The group of people fell silent, and everyone looked at the stage. What are they doing?Where does the light come from?

Before I could figure it out, the sound of musical instruments sounded, and Xu Changsheng's familiar singing of you carrying a bear and me leading a horse came out, and the black curtain was slowly opened, and the fairy-like scene was displayed in front of everyone.

At this moment, this scene was staged simultaneously in eleven fairy restaurants.

The whole scene was silent.

The necks of the people outside the Immortal Restaurant stretched out, because the curtains were pulled down, so they couldn't see them, but they just vaguely heard your wonderful voice coming out.

Of course, there are screams of "ah" from time to time, mostly women.

Then several people kept shouting, "Fake, fake, don't get excited, I really can't stand it, we will take you out first."

"No, I won't go out even if I'm killed, you guys disperse."

People outside feel like being caught by a cat, what's going on?

How could this be the reaction?

I really want to rush in and have a look.

Then there were some strange and weird sounds, like the sounds of monkeys, which were extremely weird.

Can make them curious to death.

Xu Changsheng was terrified when he saw it. He didn't expect that some people would scream after being vaccinated, especially the girls. Many people covered their mouths. Fortunately, no one ran around in fright.

The members of the Xu family were also well prepared. Once someone yelled out in shock, they would rush over to appease them. This was all fake.

Some people obviously couldn't help screaming, let him go out, but they refused, and they were also stubborn.

Xu Changsheng was frightened, afraid that something might happen.

And those who have seen it once will have endless aftertaste, and this time the scenes and effects are more prominent, and they can watch it with gusto, but when someone screams, they will frown. How can they spoil their elegance so much?

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, thanks to the birth of the Monkey King in the first episode of "Journey to the West", it was relatively cheerful, if it was a little more intense, the scene would have to be out of control.

Fortunately, they were well prepared. Although there were many situations, they were all under control.

Xu Changsheng looked at the scene that was gradually stabilizing, and then sat down and took a sip of tea. He had to drink tea to suppress his shock.

Then he looked at Li Chengqian, and asked in a very foreign way, "How is my entertainment?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, "Entertainment? Singing and dancing for peace"

amount……

Xu Changsheng had a headache and said, "The people's livelihood in the Tang Dynasty not only requires material life, but also spiritual life. How can proper entertainment be called singing and dancing?"

If such a little bit of entertainment is called singing and dancing, then the lives of the people in Tang Dynasty are too depressing.

Li Chengqian nodded, he still understood the truth, too much suppression of the people would only be counterproductive.

Li Chengqian glanced at Xu Changsheng. With such a small mind, he didn't know why he had so many strange ideas.

Seeing Li Chengqian's eyes, Xu Changsheng knew what his good friend was thinking, and said, "Am I smart?"

show off.

Li Chengqian turned his head and watched the performance seriously, because Xu Changsheng was too loud, his bright eyes were shining like stars.

The slightly dark environment is full of musical instruments and performances.

The first performance of "Journey to the West" was actually not very long.

The point is that people watching the show also forget the time.

The familiar voice was still on the stage, "Foretell what kind of skills the Monkey King has learned in Fangcun Mountain, and let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."

Under a group of bewildered expressions, on the black cloth on the stage.

Then the members of the Xu family also went to pull up the closed curtains.

The sun shines in.

The darkness for too long made a group of people narrow their eyes a little before they got used to it.

"Everyone, the show is over."

The Xu family began to clear the scene.

A group of people are still confused, especially those who watch it for the first time.

He followed the crowd out in a daze.

People outside looked at the people who came out. Why do these people have such strange expressions?

What the hell did they watch?

There was a lot of movement inside just now, but the people outside didn't see it at all.

It took a long time for the people to react, as if they had come to their senses, and then there was an excited voice, "Is this the first episode of Journey to the West that Xu Jiazi reproduced? The Monkey King was born? It's so exciting."

"I thought it was real just now. If it wasn't for a member of the Xu family who kept reminding me, I really thought I saw the Immortal Mansion."

A group of women were also chattering and discussing in full swing, completely ignoring that this place was on the street.

"My mother still doesn't want me to come. Fortunately, I am here. Otherwise, I would have missed such a wonderful performance. It's unimaginable."

"It's not that the scene is simply too beautiful."

"Just now, there was a young man from the Xu family who was really funny. He kept saying it was a lie in front of us."

"If you don't do this, you will really be addicted to it. I didn't see several little sisters calling out."

"Oh, isn't the show over yet? What's next? I've heard of Journey to the West."
