Personally speaking, Guan Tao definitely didn't want to sell to Sun Xiang, but if he sold it to someone else, that person might not dare to take it on.
After all, everyone knows that Meicifang has been eyeing Guan Tao's shop for a long time. If someone else comes to buy it, it would be like snatching food from Meicifang's mouth.
Unless it's extremely cheap, no one will risk getting into trouble.
But if I don't sell them, I have to save money to pay off Doctor Mo's leeches while also treating my wife's illness and providing her with nutrition... I can't manage both!
Guan Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I'll sell it to Sun Xiang."
Shen Qingyu smiled: "I like dealing with rational people. And don't worry, Sun Xiang's future won't be easy."
That kind of person has no bottom line. He schemed against Hu Jinxiu, who also has no bottom line. Who knows how Hu Jinxiu will retaliate against him!
However, this was irrelevant to Guan Tao.
Shen Qingyu watched Guan Tao walk away, and then she heard from the second-year high school students that many of the students from the Yuexiu class had gone to work at the chili pepper workshop.
Shen Qingyu was immediately at a loss for words: "I'll go see them."
In the chili pepper workshop, Huang Yunjiao held up her hands, which were throbbing with pain from the spiciness, her eyes brimming with tears.
"I can't do this job, sister..."
Huang Yunxi sighed helplessly: "Some people do have delicate and sensitive skin; they feel a burning sensation when they touch chili peppers."
Actually, her hands were burning too, but she held back and didn't say anything, just kept working hard.
When Shen Qingyu arrived, she saw Huang Yunjiao raising her hands and complaining to the old troupe leader.
Old Master Huang advised with a bitter face, "We have nothing to do now, how can we just eat for free? What if the boss gets angry..."
Huang Yunjiao retorted, "The boss told us to wait patiently, so we'll wait patiently. She supports so many people, a few more of us won't make a difference! Why are you angry?"
Huang Yunxi was about to persuade his sister when he spotted Shen Qingyu in front of him and quickly greeted her, "Master..."
Shen Qingyu nodded, and Master Huang and Huang Yunjiao also hurriedly greeted him.
"Call everyone from the Yuexiu class over here, I have something to say."
Upon hearing this, Master Huang quickly made arrangements.
The people from the Yuexiu class gathered around.
The group returned to the plaza in the center of the valley.
Shen Qingyu then explained, "I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to explain in detail to you."
"I have some free time today, so I'll tell you about what I'm going to do next, so you won't panic."
"I took you in with only one thought: to help me spread the word about chili sauce, braised meat, and sweet potato noodles through opera and storytelling!"
The Yuexiu class members: "!!!"
Using opera and storytelling to promote chili sauce? Braised meat? Sweet potato noodles?
How can anyone publicize this?
Shen Qingyu knew that everyone didn't understand, but she wasn't in a hurry. She told them a story about the deep love between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, emphasizing that Empress Ma kept Zhu Yuanzhang warm by pressing a hot pancake against his chest.
"As Zhu Yuanzhang ate his wife's pancakes and looked at her chest, which was blistering from the heat, he felt his tears welling up!"
He had never tasted such delicious pancakes in his entire life, and even after he became emperor, he never forgot the pancakes his wife had given him…
"Alright, the story is over. Now that you've heard it, would you like to try what that pancake tastes like?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Shen Qingyu explained to everyone the necessity of using stories to promote products.
"This is storytelling using opera scripts!"
Everyone was dumbfounded: So storytelling can be used like this?
Then Shen Qingyu told everyone a story about Wu Dalang selling steamed buns.
The story focuses on how delicious Wu Dalang's pancakes were and how successful his business was. He achieved financial freedom through selling pancakes, married Pan Jinlian, and ultimately, because he was too ugly, his wife cheated on him.
After telling this story, Shen Qingyu asked, "If there were steamed buns in front of you right now, would you want to know how delicious they are? Would you be willing to spend a few coins to try them?"
Everyone nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"What if you sang it in the style of traditional opera?"
"But this play..."
Master Huang was in a dilemma.
Having spent his entire life learning the singing, recitation, acting, and martial arts from his elders, and studying all sorts of old opera scripts, the sudden change in how he was asked to perform opera in this way caused Master Huang to go bald with worry!
There's always a sense of guilt about betraying one's teacher and ancestors.
Shen Qingyu waved her hand: "You can write the script yourself. When you're done, show it to me. If I think it's suitable, you can stage it yourselves."
"In your opera troupe, those who can sing teach singing, those who can write scripts are responsible for writing scripts, and those who can tell stories teach storytelling..."
"When teaching apprentices in the future, they only need to learn these two or three plays or storytelling techniques, and that will be enough."
"Once you've learned the new plays, you can put them on stage and perform them as storytelling in Guiyun Towers all over the country..."
This is true tool-based thinking.
Old Master Huang was stuck in place, unable to move forward or backward. Shen Qingyu didn't force him: "If it's difficult for you, it's okay. You can continue chopping chili peppers in the future."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yunjiao immediately nagged Old Master Huang.
If she weren't deemed unqualified to speak on behalf of the Yuexiu class, she would have shouted "I'm willing" herself.
Master Huang finally nodded.
After all, so many people need to eat. If they all have to rely on chopped chili peppers, not only Huang Yunjiao would be unhappy, but many others would be too.
After their future mission was explained, the Yuexiu Opera Troupe members stopped working at the chili workshop and started writing scripts and looking for people willing to learn opera.
Among the refugees, some were willing to learn opera. With the promotion of the Yuexiu Opera Troupe and the publicity of the Imperial Guards, more than a dozen people soon signed up to learn opera.
