The Miao family has a lot of hands, and they assembled the model of the entire theater in a short time.
Chen Jinjun let out a "whoop": "This is a very generous move of yours. You can't build a theater like this without some financial resources."
She turned to look at Miao Yu: "You think highly of me."
Miao Yu held his pipe in his mouth and said with a smile: "If it were anyone else, I might just follow the design of an ordinary theater building, but the Chen family is different, the Chen family of Huangshang."
After saying this, he laughed out loud.
"You're making fun of me again. When my grandfather took on the title of Royal Merchant, you did a lot of hard work."
Chen Jinjun also made fun of Miao Yu.
Miao Yu took the pipe in his hand, stood up, walked to the theater model, and started talking to Chen Jinjun bit by bit.
But before he could finish speaking, he pointed with his pipe at Miao Shi'an who was sitting next to him: "Come here, I'll show you a place, and you can tell everyone why you did this."
He actually considered the skills of his juniors on the spot.
Chen Jinjun couldn't help but take another look at Miao Shi'an. It seemed that this Miao Yu's youngest son was probably the next generation of Miao Shi'an.
Miao Yu also had good intentions and deliberately showed off the skills of his direct disciples in front of Chen Jinjun. He not only told Chen Jinjun that when he gets old one day, he hopes that his most valued disciples can get the support of the friendly family and will not be snatched away by other peers.
Go on business.
Chen Jinjun nodded to Miao Yu, and Miao Yu knew that she understood what he meant, and he also hugged Chen Jinjun.
Miao Yu cleared his throat: "First of all, the terrain given by my employer is a square piece of land, so I specially made the theater in the middle into a cylindrical shape."
"Come on, Anzi, tell me, my boss and all the shopkeepers, why is it built in a cylindrical shape?"
Miao Shi'an, who was standing behind Miao Yu, took a step forward, made a salute, and said in a straight tone: "This is square on the outside and round on the inside. It is square on the outside and smooth on the inside. It also means regularity."
Miao Yu nodded: "Then tell me, why does this theater no longer have an angle in the middle?"
"Because this land does not have a fence, it is necessary to ensure that visitors come from all directions, and it is also for the purpose of making money from all directions."
"Well said!" Miao Yu took the lead in applauding his youngest son, and the shopkeepers present also applauded this auspicious word.
Chen Jinjun also smiled and nodded. Sure enough, compared to the hot-tempered Miao Yu, Miao Shi'an was a bit more sophisticated than his father.
Miao Yu took a few steps, pointed to the shops in three rows around him and said, "How are these shops arranged?"
"It's arranged according to the Bagua array. The owner has given us what kind of shop he wants to open, so we arrange the Feng Shui location of the shop, which not only makes it easier for the owner to manage, but also makes it easier for the guests to find a shop of that type. The most important thing is that it can also
Convenient for transportation.”
Chen Jinjun nodded: "It's indeed wonderful. This way, in the future, the shop will directly tell you the location of the Bagua array, which will make it much easier to find."
"My boss is right, why don't you write it down quickly?" Miao Yu glanced at Miao Shi'an.
Miao Shi'an nodded repeatedly.
Miao Yu directed the apprentices who were watching: "Go and lift up the roof of the theater."
After the roof of the theater building was opened, there was a large stage in the middle and boxes with wide views on both sides.
"This side of the stage is the backstage. Except for the first floor, the second and third floors are all made of boxes. But we built a total of three and a half floors. Anzi, tell me, why do we build this half floor?"
"This half floor is based on the Miaoyin Pavilion in the Forbidden City by Shi Lei. It is for the performance style of famous actors. At the same time, it divides the entire theater area so that this theater is not only a production theater. If you want to learn how to If foreigners hold an auction, this venue is very suitable."
This was something Chen Jinjun had never thought of. She nodded thoughtfully, auction? It's a very novel format, so I might give it a try.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao, who has been running this kind of entertainment venue, saw another business opportunity. She blinked at the stage with a pair of fox eyes: "This kind of layout, not to mention the stage, the auction, is the boss. If you want to hold a banquet, a song and dance hall is also very suitable."
Chen Jinjun raised his index finger and tapped his chin, then raised his hand to greet Xu Sheng: "You are right, this is a good job. Where is Xu Sheng? You don't want to see the reward?"
Xu Sheng glanced at Chen Jinjun's waving gesture and took out a handful of silver coins.
Miao Yu kicked Miao Shi'an who was stunned at the side: "Why don't you accept the reward from your boss?"
It stands to reason that Chen Jinjun should have rewarded them all together at the end, but he could not break the rules by rewarding too much at once, so he simply rewarded them one at a time, which could be regarded as helping the whole family to escape to Yongzhou.
With Miao Yu's sophisticated eyes, he naturally knew that Chen Jinjun was secretly helping the Miao family. Even though he was a brother to Mr. Chen in terms of seniority, he could not care about the life and death of himself, a member of the family, just for the sake of face.
Miao Yu secretly remembered Chen Jinjun's friendship in his heart, and continued: "This theater is the top priority. In addition, we have also worked hard on the garden."
When Miao Shi'an saw Miao Yu raising his pipe, he answered with a wink: "Yongzhou is located in the northwest, with hot summers, snowy winters, windy sand in spring, and heavy rains in autumn, so most of the materials used in the design are suitable for Flowers and trees of Yongzhou climate.”
"Here," he gestured around the theater building, "planting pear trees is in line with the pear orchard, and the white pear blossoms in spring also match the red walls very well."
"Look here again," Miao Shi'an pointed to the other side, "Plant Albizia julibrissin here, and then plant spring, summer, autumn, and winter plants outside. In the entire area, there are flowers blooming all year round, and each season has its own scenery."
Miao Yu clasped his fists: "My boss, this is my fifth generation style Miao - Miao Yu's final work."
Chen Jinjun nodded heavily: "Xu Sheng, a big reward!"
Xu Sheng came out from behind with his maid. This was the reward that Chen Jinjun had prepared early in the morning. However, he didn't expect that Xiang Miao would move his family to Yongzhou, so he had to temporarily add a box of silver coins.
Miao Yu's eyes lit up when he looked at the reward that Xu Sheng brought.
He knew in his heart that Chen Jinjun had been in business for about ten years, so it was impossible that he didn't know the rules of the road.
Originally, the reward during the transaction was based on the ratio of one gold, two silver, and three copper coins, but in Chen Jinjun's case, although it looked like this on the surface, the lid of the hard currency silver dollar box could no longer be closed, and it was obvious that more money had been stuffed inside. of.
With a sore nose, he looked at the family who had followed him to Yongzhou, then at Chen Jinjun and the shopkeepers, and nodded heavily: "Master, from now on, we will not negotiate prices for our business."
Chen Jinjun frowned: "This is inappropriate. You masters also need to eat."
Miao Yu shook his head: "Based on the relationship between our two families, this transaction should only be charged the cost price. However, the capital has not been very prosperous in recent years, and there are no good works available, and the reputation has gradually declined.
Business will naturally become less and less.”
"My boss is interested in friendship. Although he is in Yongzhou, he ordered people to travel thousands of miles back to the capital to give this business to me, Miao Yu. I am really grateful to Miao Yu."
Chen Jinjun smiled calmly: "The main reason is that I believe in your craftsmanship. After all, the folk style Miao was as famous as the royal style Lei."
