PNB Chapter 208
Chapter 208
Qi Cheng stayed at Zhou Lu's place until the evening, and after eating two meals with him, he went back satisfied and played games on the sofa at home for a while.
Feeling a bit bored.
Feeling like watching a drama, he picked up his phone and searched directly for The World's Number One Restaurant. This TV series was his favorite to watch while eating, but he had never seen the drama version.
It is said that the TV series is also adapted from a drama, and a few characters were added to it, but some people also said that these characters were not added very well.
There are loopholes.
There are many versions of the drama, and he directly found the most classic version, the one starring Lin Liankun in 88.
The play begins with a burst of rapid gong and drum beats. Luo Datou loudly shouts, "The duck is out of the oven!" and comes to the front from the back. Then the customer comes out to pay the bill and sends the waiter out to buy something else.
At this moment, a waiter came running over and said that the police with dragon flags had arrived. Shopkeeper Wang understood what he meant and immediately had his waiter prepare the meatballs.
After a series of twists and turns, Shopkeeper Wang managed to get through this minor crisis with just a few coins and a bag of meatballs.
Daqin
Qin Shi Huang watched the drama on the sky screen and thought it was much better than the TV series. The performance was more exaggerated and the rhythm was tighter.
It’s quite different from the TV series.
"Father, I think this play is also an important propaganda tool. Should we also gather a few actors and find a few writers..."
Qin Shi Huang immediately understood that using drama to promote the drama in the six kingdoms might help win back some people's hearts.
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin shook his head. The people must be suffering in these troubled times. Captain Wang came here just to extort some money and food. Even hanging the dragon flag might not be a requirement from above.
"Your Majesty is right..." Li Tai's eyes were only focused on the roast duck on the skylight.
[At this time, the prodigal son in the play, Master Ke Wu, came out and first talked about his father's ability, saying that he had done a great job in protecting the emperor. Then his men took him out to play again.]
Shopkeeper Wang hadn't even breathed a sigh of relief yet. Luo Datou was causing trouble again, and after finally calming him down, debt collectors showed up. If the old shopkeeper hadn't stepped in to calm them down, the restaurant would have been smashed.
Then the old shopkeeper's two sons returned. One was obsessed with opera, the other with martial arts. Neither of them was worrying. Shopkeeper Wang took the opportunity to introduce his junior brother, hoping he could come and help.
Internal and external troubles.
The ancients of all dynasties had some understanding of this. This seems to be an allusion to the late Qing Dynasty, when those dignitaries were also a bit out of touch.
I don’t know if the new manager, Mr. Lu, can manage the restaurant well.
Qing Dynasty
The Eight Banners descendants of the late Qing Dynasty snorted heavily. How could small businessmen like them be able to sing and support the main characters in operas? They really overestimated their abilities.
Supporting the stars is what people like us do, and only those who work hard can have this spare money.
The old shopkeeper asked his two sons about their business, but they knew nothing.
[After finally starting to divide the money, the waiter, who had made great contributions to the restaurant, actually still owed the restaurant money. The old shopkeeper just said he would pay it back slowly.]
Luo Datou felt he was underpaid and simply quit. The old shopkeeper could only promise to make up for it later.
[Finally, the large account could no longer be divided, and the old shopkeeper could only say that he would ask Shopkeeper Lu to take over management from now on, and the two sons would just take the dividends.]
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?
The people watching outside the sky were a little angry. This old shopkeeper didn't look like a good person. It was true that there was no businessman without dishonesty.
But seeing that he was angered to death by his son, I felt a little sad. It would be even sadder for those who have a son who is not satisfied with their family.
At least other people can find a manager, but what about their own family business?
隋朝
Yang Jian looked at his sons and sighed silently in his heart. The eldest son did not win the queen's favor, the second son was a bastard, and few of the remaining sons were capable of anything.
I feel that the Sui Dynasty is a bit like this restaurant now.
The next scene takes place three years later. Under Lu Mengshi's management, the restaurant has grown rapidly, now boasting three storefronts.
In order to reopen the restaurant and attract customers, Shopkeeper Lu resorted to the lottery and hired a famous chef, which also caused dissatisfaction among Luo Datou.
[However, after competing for a while, he realized that he was no match for his opponent and had to return to the kitchen.]
[At this time, another officer came and won a gold ring in the lottery. He later chatted with the palace steward, which made the audience laugh.]
[That day, Master Qian and his men came again to collect the debt. After a few words and a few bold tricks from Shopkeeper Lu, Master Qian and his men were persuaded to pay in installments.]
……
The shopkeeper outside the skylight had an expression as if he had learned something. So this is how the lottery box is used. No matter what you draw, it all depends on the identity of the person who comes.
This is not difficult at all and you can implement it in your own store immediately.
However, Shopkeeper Lu’s method cannot be used. If it is discovered, he might be kicked out by his boss and he will not be able to be a shopkeeper elsewhere in the future.
Li Lianying, who was eating fruit at home, snorted. It seemed that the Qing Dynasty was doomed. An adjutant dared to speak to the steward like that.
At this time, even the generals had to be servile to him.
After carefully calculating the time, I realized that I probably wouldn't live to see that day.
Next up is the now-defeated Ke Wu. While cherishing his precious ingredients, he holds up the restaurant's duck vouchers and demands a quick duck.
[But this note is no longer usable.]
[Ke Wu was being unreasonable, so the shopkeeper ordered someone to beat him up.]
This clip appeared in a TV series. The ancient people outside the sky curtain compared it and thought that this drama performed it better. Na Kewu looked both hateful and pitiful.
But there is indeed a trick to this duck ticket.
Qing Dynasty
The people from several wealthy families are worried at home. They now understand their debts. If the Qing Dynasty really collapses one day, they are afraid that this debt will bury them.
Future generations will also suffer.
雍正
"Go down and investigate to see if the Eight Banners' descendants are already living beyond their means." Yongzheng instructed a guard, "This won't do. We need to prepare the food before it's too late."
Several guards were a little disapproving. Didn't every family go through this? It was still a long time before there were no solid crops by the end of the Qing Dynasty. Their great-grandchildren could also live beyond their means.
There are hardcore crops.
However, they had to do this task quickly. If they committed a crime that offended the emperor, their son would become Ke Wu.
