I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Shangguan Yue is an all-round tool man who combines director, stage manager, makeup designer, set designer and props designer.

We also had to invite a folk art master to play, and selected a few songs that suited the mood to serve as the prelude, interlude, and ending song of the play.

Shangguan Yue’s voice has not fully developed yet, so singing is not suitable for her, so a singer was invited to sing.

Chen Bianbian has a sweet voice, and they are both microphone masters in modern times. So during the new release period or when Bianbian feels like singing, she will be asked to sing.

There are curtains blocking the singing, so the face is not shown, and Bian Bian can still indulge in singing to her heart's content.

It is easy to teach extras, but the most difficult part is the scenes between the male and female protagonists, whose faces turn red whenever they speak their lines.

Not to mention the hugging and kissing part, but it gets better after a few days of reciting the lines.

Shangguan Yue also made a solemn statement to Yan Shi and Xia Zhi that acting is acting, but it must be distinguished from reality after the performance.

Don't return to reality with your character's thoughts in mind, or you will be unable to get out of the play.

She didn't want the actor she had worked so hard to train to have a love-brain. Even if he did, he had to keep it to himself, at least he had to act for a few years, so that she, as a capitalist, could earn enough dividends!

She, Shangguan Yue, is of good family background and will not exploit them. If they really need to be responsible for each other because of acting in the future, or fall in love with each other, then they can let newcomers take over and finally get married.

Chen Bianbian was very interested in screenwriting. Such as "The Overbearing Prince is Too Evil, I Can't Stand It" and "Don't Parade in the Streets, Mr. No. 1 Scholar, I'm in Love with You"...

He wrote several scripts in succession and taught Xia Zhi how to act step by step, which made Xia Zhi so embarrassed that he never turned pale.

Yan Shi was even more upset. He hadn't had his mother near him for more than a decade. Moreover, he was talking to a beautiful woman and hugging her every day. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Although I knew it was acting, I just couldn't suppress my shyness and embarrassment.

Fortunately, a short play is divided into two parts or three parts. Each part is more than an hour long, and you have to memorize the lines and the plot, so rehearsal is very important.

Once you are on stage, you are not allowed to make any mistakes. It is very important to win the first battle.

Half a month before the opening of Lanyue Pavilion, Shangguan Yue had done enough publicity and posters were posted all over the streets and alleys.

In ancient times, it was very troublesome to make a poster. People could only write and draw one by one, over and over again.

Chen Bianbian and the painters almost vomited from painting.

The stage lights, such as lanterns and candlelight, must be large enough to last for an hour or two.

Sometimes the sky is dark during the day and the effect is affected. You need to prepare multiple rolls of background plates, different background plates for different scenes, and you need to pull them up and down and change them in time.

Since it is summer, prepare fruit tea, flower tea, milk tea, alcoholic beverages, melon seeds, nuts, snacks, etc.

The dishes are mainly refreshing, supplemented by cold dishes.

Finally the opening day arrived.

At the end of Chen time.

There are two rows of flower baskets lined up on both sides of the gate, wearing uniform tie-dyed patterned work clothes.

The women's work clothes have black edging, blue background and white flowers. The men's waiter's clothes have black edging, blue background, and only the cuffs and hem have white flowers tied with dye.

There is a row of men on the left and a row of women on the right. It is very pleasing to the eye.

Then they light the incense burner, pray to the gods, read out blessings, cut the ribbon, and finally the Kaiyuan drum sounds and lifts the red cloth of the Lanyue Pavilion.

The three large characters of "Lan Yue Pavilion" written in iron and silver are shining with golden light, making the Lan Yue Pavilion look very majestic.

The whole street was very curious about this new opening ceremony. Coupled with the publicity half a month ago, a large number of people had already gathered in front of the store.

As soon as the ceremony was over, the shopkeeper loudly announced that the shop would open from today onwards, offering 20% ​​off on all purchases, free stage play after dinner, and only charging for tea, snacks, etc.

Then he flicked his sleeves, bowed deeply, and respectfully invited you to come.

The people who had been gathering in front of the door suddenly rushed in, all trying to find a seat that was best suited for watching the play.

The lunch market time is from noon to the beginning of the evening. The stage play will start after lunch at the beginning of the evening and will last for about half an hour.

The dishes in summer in South Vietnam are not much different from those in winter. There are very few cold dishes, and the spicy dishes are not like those in North Vietnam.

They are mainly stir-fried or stewed. In summer, they are sour plum soup, herbal tea and the like to stimulate appetite, clear heat and reduce internal heat.

Shangguan Yue is different from Chen Bianbian. In modern times, she can eat all the delicacies in the world at home.

Therefore, all the delicacies suitable for summer consumption from all over the country are placed in the Lanyue Pavilion.

The dishes should change according to the different temperatures throughout the year.

In ancient times when there was no air conditioning, it was impossible to eat hot pot in hot weather!

After the guests were seated, a pot of iced lemon honey was served to each table, followed by an exquisite menu with three pages and six sides. Behind the name of the dish was a pattern of the dish, and behind the pattern was the price.

Most restaurants seldom have menus. Most people ask the waiter what dishes are available. Even if there is a menu, it is of little use as the dishes on the menu may not be available.

The menu makes it easier for customers to choose and can also increase the amount of food they order.

After each dish is sold out, it will be written on the blackboard wall in the hall for customers' reference.

Specially recommended dishes will also be written on the wall board, as will special offers, today's special dishes, and limited order dishes.

Customers can see everything at a glance, which increases sales and popularity, and also reduces customer dissatisfaction due to lack of items in dishes after ordering.

It was just 15:00, but the hall was already almost full. The private rooms on the second floor had already been sold out, so those who couldn't get a room had to go to the hall.

Then the almost full hall was suddenly filled up. Everyone came here to see the new store and to see the play.

The hall is high and has many large windows. The windows are different from the small windows of other restaurants. One window is equivalent to four windows of other restaurants.

The windows are fitted with glass sheets, which allow light to pass through. Now in the summer, all the windows are opened, and a large block of ice is placed under each window in the hall.

The wind blows in from the window, bringing comfortable coolness through the ice cubes. Then take a sip of iced lemon honey water, which can relieve heat and stimulate appetite.

If customers holding the menu see dishes they have never eaten in other restaurants, they will hesitate whether to order them.

Now that there are vivid pictures on the menu, people no longer hesitate when ordering dishes. They just order whatever they want with a wave of their hands.

Customers who ordered early did not expect the dishes to be prepared and served quickly, with novel and beautiful dishes.

One dish after another: crystal chicken, crystal pork elbow, cold pork trotter, stir-fried shrimp, stir-fried three delicacies...

The colors are red, green, and they are very attractive when served on the table, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth when you put them in your mouth.

The people who were eating kept nodding their heads, while those whose dishes had not yet been served could only watch and swallow their saliva.

The people who were enjoying the food even shouted out loudly, "It's delicious! It's so delicious! It's so fragrant!" The children at the next table were so hungry that they cried.

Those who come early have their meal and order a pot of tea. There are different types of tea, such as floral tea, fruit tea, and milk tea, suitable for people of different ages.

Have a few plates of nuts, snacks and other desserts while waiting for the show to begin.

Looking at the large semicircular stage that could accommodate dozens of people, the thick crimson curtain behind it was closed.

A curtain was temporarily drawn in front of the stage, saying that they were going to put on props and perform some magic shows for three consecutive days.

Everyone's curiosity was instantly aroused.
