Qin Sanwei's expression froze, and he stood at the door and read the recruitment notice carefully.
People who can read and do arithmetic are preferred. It is not a physical job. The monthly salary for formal employment starts from 2 taels. Qin Sanwei was excited when he saw these few things. He can do this job.
But if he comes to the cinema, he will have no time to study hard.
Qin Sanwei thought of studying and preparing for the exams in these years, and he hesitated for a moment.
On second thought, he failed the exams many times, and now he is just barely making ends meet in Kyoto.
Why not try another way?
Thinking of this, Qin Sanwei still found it difficult to make up his mind.
In fact, he already has the title of a scholar, and returning to his hometown to be a teacher may be more decent than living in Liangjing.
But he still wants to take the exam, at least once more.
If I could enter the cinema, save a few months' salary, and have no worries about food and clothing, would I be able to continue preparing for the exam more easily than now?
Qin Sanwei walked into the cinema, found Zhu Zhu at the front desk, and asked about the recruitment notice at the door.
Zhu Zhu asked him to go upstairs to find Lu Yao.
Qin Sanwei went upstairs and saw a row of strange boxes against the wall of the rest area. He thought that this was the new thing that the young man from Rongxi Shuzhai mentioned.
In front of the claw machine, a bearded man squatted down and took out a rag doll from the groove under the machine, and said excitedly: "I got it, I finally got it!"
The accompanying scholar almost cried with joy. He grabbed more than fifty times and finally got it.
The bearded man put the doll in his arms, turned around and walked to the currency exchange counter, threw a piece of silver, and said, "Twenty more times."
Die Qi was learning from Lu Yao, and raised her hand to exchange money.
Lu Yao held her down, turned his head to look at the bearded man, and persuaded her, "Since you have already caught it, why not come again next time?"
The bearded man slapped the table and said loudly, "I think I have found the technique you mentioned. While it is still warm, I want to try the one behind. Just give it to me, don't worry, I won't cause any more trouble."
Lu Yao stopped persuading him and let Die Qi exchange coins.
After a whole afternoon, only this guest caught it.
Seeing this, some depressed guests next to him rekindled their fighting spirit.
Zhao Guanghong played for a long time but didn't catch anything, so he bought a few cans of drinks and sat in the rest area to study. He looked over when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but stand up to try a few more times.
After the bearded man left, Lu Yao saw Qin Sanwei standing aside, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there something?"
Qin Sanwei nodded awkwardly, raised his hand and pointed to the window, and then remembered that this was the second floor, so he put his hand down again: "My name is Qin Sanwei, I saw the recruitment notice posted downstairs, little shopkeeper, can I do it?"
Finally someone came to ask about the recruitment, Lu Yao looked him up and down, the young man looked at Wenxiu, there were two obvious dark blue spots under his eyes, he was dressed simply, and two light-colored patches could be vaguely seen at the bottom of his long gown, and he probably had an idea in his mind, "Can you read?"
Qin Sanwei nodded.
"Can you do arithmetic?"
Qin Sanwei nodded again and whispered, "I am a scholar." Lu Yao
was slightly surprised. This was a top student in ancient times. It should be rare for someone to be willing to work in a movie theater. "Why do you want to come to a movie theater?"
Qin Sanwei hesitated. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He wanted to say something nice, but when he met the other party's eyes that were almost looking straight at him, he couldn't say anything. Finally, he said honestly, "The monthly salary in the movie theater is very high."
Lu Yao nodded, "Okay, you come with me to the lounge for a simple test on writing and arithmetic. If there is no problem, sign a contract first and try it for seven days. After seven days, if both parties are satisfied, we will officially sign the contract and start work."
Qin Sanwei regretted the moment he said this. Scholars value their reputation the most, but he kept talking about money, which might make people dislike him.
After hearing what Lu Yao said, he paused for several breaths before reacting and hurriedly followed.
Qin Sanwei has beautiful handwriting, can use an abacus, and can do mental arithmetic, which is enough for him to be a clerk.
But he is not yet used to Arabic numerals and the rules and procedures in the cinema, so Lu Yao asked Die Qi to take him, and the two of them are learning at the currency exchange counter on the second floor today.
Die Qi is an old person and has a strong learning ability. Only after
Lu Yao taught her could he free up to do other things, and Die Qi would continue to take care of Qin Sanwei later. Lu
Yao found a new clerk to take care of the rest area on the second floor, and he felt relaxed.
It would not be so urgent to recruit people later.
Near noon, Lu Yao handed over the matters on the second floor to Die Qi and prepared to go out.
She and Jiang's people made an appointment to have dinner at Fuxianju nearby.
In the lounge, Fu Chi was sitting on the sofa, observing the items on the coffee table. He heard the sound of the door lock turning, looked up, and saw Lu Yao. He couldn't wait to ask: "Are these things for sale?"
Lu Yao didn't hear clearly: "Ah?"
Fu Chi pointed to the pile of things on the coffee table that Zhao Guanghong sent: "I want these, sell them to me."
Lu Yao walked over: "... I can't take these away."
Fu Chi looked straight at Lu Yao, his eyes clear and full of expectation, "Master Ji's leg can be cured, these things are really impossible to take there?"
Not only Ji Zhixin's matter, but also Qi Chen.
Although he hasn't met him yet, in Fu Chi's mind, Lu Yao has already been an image of omnipotence.
Lu Yao shook his head, "It's really not possible for now."
Fu Chi: "It's okay, I'll buy these things first and put them here. I'll take them out and play with them from time to time. They're also very good. You don't have to take these tea leaves away. Just brew them and drink them. It can be regarded as experiencing the tea culture of thousands of years ago ."
These are all real antiques. They have not been refined by time, but they are still the most complete and exquisite forms, and they are beautiful beyond words.
Fu Chi just came in to drink water and couldn't take his eyes off them.
Any of these utensils, taken out, are better than the props and sets of costume dramas and historical films on the market. Even if he can't take them away, looking at them more and experiencing them more can also provide references for his future work.
Lu Yao: "In a few days, I will build a warehouse in the back to store these objects. If you like, I will give you a key to the warehouse before you leave. If you like tea, you can make some."
Then I will engrave some special magic circles in the alien space to minimize the oxidation and damage of these objects, so that they can be preserved for a long time.
As for the edible and drinkable things, use them if you can.
Fu Chi felt a little regretful, but he also respected Lu Yao's decision. He thought that he couldn't take it with him anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to watch more. He turned to talk to Lu Yao about the movie selection: "Have you checked the message in the group?"
Lu Yao shook his head, "I was too busy this morning and didn't check my phone. What's wrong?"
Fu Chi: "Ji Zhixin and I selected two 3D movies, one science fiction and one doomsday disaster. But these two are new movies that just came out this year, and the box office is very good, so the price may be difficult to negotiate."
This year, Lu Yao was really too busy, and he didn't pay much attention to the new movies. He didn't even go to the cinema once. After hearing this, he immediately became interested.
"Okay, I'm going out at noon and in the afternoon, and I'll come back to watch it in the evening." Lu Yao asked Fu Chi to watch the store and took Ye Xiao out.
Ye Xiao was dressed in a black robe, with half of his silver hair tied up with a jade hairpin, and the rest of his hair hanging down behind him. He was wearing the wide-brimmed sunglasses given by Lu Yao, holding a sword in his hand, and walking silently on Lu Yao's left side.
Lu Yao glanced at him. He was dressed in a black robe, but he was wearing a white jade hairpin engraved with a lotus.
In the Alexandria Continent and the Impermanence World, he had asked for lotus manicures and had turned into a lotus plant.
Does this guy like lotus?
Lu Yao pinched the killer whale doll in her pocket and handed it over, "This is for you."
When she caught it in the morning, she thought of the killer whale A from the Furry Shop period. It's not a lotus, but it should also have some suggestive effect.
Ye Xiao stopped and tilted his head slightly. His eyes were covered by black lenses,
so his expression could not be seen. Lu Yao waited for a while. He did not say anything and did not stretch out his hand. He did not look like he did not want it. Instead, he showed some subtle struggle.
As if by some intuition, Lu Yao slightly tiptoed and hung the killer whale doll on the tassel of Ye Xiao's sword handle. "Okay, let's go."
Ye Xiao lowered his head and looked at the black and white doll that did not match the tassel of the sword at all, in silence. Lu
Yao walked out a few steps before he followed.
After walking for a while, Lu Yao felt that the sounds around him gradually drifted away, his feet were a little unstable, and at the same time, some fragmented images flashed through his mind.
"Lu Yao, I'm hungry."
"Lu Yao, be careful."
"Lu Yao, you're just sick, you'll be well soon."
"Lu Yao, forgive me."
"Lu Yao, only you...can't do it."
...
Who is this?
Lu Yao's eyes went dark, and her feet suddenly seemed to step on air and she was about to fall.
Ye Xiao grabbed her wrist and took two steps to the side of the road. A carriage sped through the middle of the road, bringing up a gust of wind. People on the road and street vendors were all panicked. Lu
Yao suddenly came back to her senses, a little confused: "What's wrong with me?"
Ye Xiao pursed his lips, pulled her up and walked forward, his voice as clear as water: "The road is not safe, follow me closely."
Lu Yao: "..."
The feeling just now still remained in her heart, but the voice in her memory was blurred.
She was about to forget again.
Who was it?
Always sticking to her.
Always... talking in her ear.
When she arrived at the gate of Fuxianju, Lu Yao's face had returned to normal, and she had forgotten the voice that had appeared.
At the same time, in Tianshu City, a thousand miles away.
In the innermost part of the temple on the top of Qianmen Mountain, a child walked barefoot in the snow. His jade-white face seemed to be carved out of ice and snow, his silver hair was like flying snow, and only his eyes were red as blood.
This child was less than ten months old, but he already had the size of a five or six-year-old child, and his divine power was unfathomable.
But he was always reluctant to leave Qianmen Mountain, and the people of the Ji family could not persuade him, nor did they dare to interfere too much.
The child liked to take a walk in the snow, especially to the top of the mountain.
Today seemed a little different. Just now, the child was not steady and almost slipped. After he stood up, he suddenly ran down the mountain in a hurry.
The Ji clan members who were serving beside him were startled and followed him.
Usually, they only thought that the child was small, taciturn, and had almost no desires. He was easier to deal with than the previous children.
Until this moment, a group of people fell in the snow, watching the child running fast on the snow-covered mountain as if walking on flat ground, and the small figure almost disappeared from sight. They began to feel that the child was a child. Even though he was still young and ignorant of the world, he was not an existence that could be easily influenced or despised by ordinary people.
There was no signal deep in the snow mountain, and electronic products could not be used.
The Ji clan members who came to Qianmen Mountain to serve were forced to live a closed and primitive life.
Ji Feichen came back from the mountain with five sled dogs pulling a cart full of daily necessities. On the way, he met Zhizi and was also surprised, "Master Zhizi, what happened?"
Zhizi stopped and glanced at the sled dogs that were wagging their tails and trying to get closer. His voice was as ethereal as the ice and snow deep in the snowy mountains, and it was rare to have some anxiety: "He is calling me, it's time to find her."
Ji Feichen suppressed his surprise and asked carefully: "Who?"
He had never heard of someone being able to call Zhizi.
Zhizi shook his head and was unwilling to say more: "Anyway, I want to go down the mountain."
Ji Feichen was confused and didn't know why he had been out for a long time and the sky had changed when he came back.
The Ji family became famous for serving the gods, but in the final analysis, they were just servants of the gods.
The new gods of the future will have to move, and the servants will have to go with them.
Ji Feichen turned around and chased after the child, wondering if he could wait for a while until the tribesmen on the mountain packed up and left together. He staggered a few steps, but saw the child coming back.
Not only that, the child's left leg was broken, and the flesh and bones below the knee turned into transparent irregular ice.
Ji Feichen was shocked: "Master Child, your foot..."
The child shook his head and said indifferently: "I forgot, I can only go out in winter. It's too hot down the mountain."
Before the children became gods, their original bodies were different.
But this child is almost the same as humans except for hair color and pupils.
Ji Feichen originally thought that this person was transformed into a child by chance from a human, but now it seems that it is not the case.
He remained calm and stepped forward to support the child. "Master, what should we do now?"
The child looked down the mountain with a cold and sharp gaze: "Wait."
Wait until winter, then go find her.
In the private room on the second floor of Fuxianju, Lu Yao met Jiang's housekeeper, Jiang Yudie, and Jiang Cheng, and sat down.
After Zhao Guanghong introduced a few people, he withdrew very tactfully. Before leaving, he wanted to take Ye Xiao with him, but was stopped by Lu Yao.
So there were five people sitting in the room, Lu Yao, Ye Xiao, and Jiang's three people.
Jiang Cheng secretly glanced at the sunglasses on Ye Xiao...'s face. Lu Yao explained, "He has an eye disease and cannot see the light. These sunglasses can block the light."
Jiang Cheng probably did not expect Lu Yao to be so sharp. There was a look of surprise in his eyes. He noticed that he had lost his composure. To ease the embarrassment, he smiled and said, "I have never seen such an item in Jiangnan. It is very strange. There is a girl in the cinema who also wears something similar. Is it also exquisite?"
Jiang Yudie has changed back into women's clothes and sat opposite Lu Yao. She is bright and dignified, but her eyebrows are cold and she looks difficult to get along with.
After sitting down, except for the initial greetings, she has not spoken again. At this time, her hand that lowered her head to take the cup paused slightly.
Lu Yao thought that it looked like he was going to have a bad meal, but he still had a smile on his face: "You mean Hongyu? She has poor vision, so she wears glasses to correct her vision. Simply put, when she puts on those glasses, things that were originally unclear are as if they were brought closer, and she can see them clearly again."
Jiang Cheng was surprised: "Then can I wear them too?"
Lu Yao shook his head, "People with no vision problems will not be able to see clearly when they wear them, and they may even feel dizzy."
Jiang Cheng couldn't understand: "Why is that?"
The butler next to him coughed lightly, and Jiang Cheng fell silent.
He was really curious. After watching "Train at Sea", his curiosity became even more uncontrollable, and he wanted to ask Lu Yao if the things that appeared in the film were real.
Jiang Cheng reluctantly followed the butler and Jiang Yudie out of the cinema after receiving the news that Zhao Guanghong had made an appointment with the cinema owner to have dinner together. Otherwise, he would have to watch all the movies.
The butler was in his fifties, of medium build, and did not look old, but his hair had turned gray, and he had two mustaches. He looked at people with a deep and dignified look, "Miss Lu, we are here today to discuss the business of toilet paper. Jiang wants to buy the recipe, you can name your price." Jiang
has a paper mill in Jiangnan, and the rice paper, snowflake paper, moist paper and flower paper signs it produces are very famous throughout the Dawu Dynasty.
That day, Jiang's people saw the toilet paper brought by the ship merchant at the dock, and heard that it was used for toilets. At first, they thought it was a fantasy. But the paper was soft to the touch. After buying it back home and trying it, it was actually usable.
After using soft tissues, it was hard to get used to using wood chips and stones again.
And after going to the toilet, when I washed my hands with hand soap, I felt that all the dirt was washed away, and there was still a faint fragrance on my hands.
The old lady of the Jiang family saw at a glance that this paper called "sanitary paper" had a lot of uses. If it could be produced in large quantities, it would definitely sell well and even change the living habits of the people.
Unfortunately, the Jiang family's paper mill tried many methods, but could not make the same soft and resilient paper.
The paper they made was either thin and fragile, or rough and unusable.
The butler and Jiang Cheng actually spent a long time studying the restroom in the cinema today. The toilet cubicles were all filled with toilet paper. To be honest, it is obviously a place where crops are recycled. It looks cleaner than many ordinary people's homes and there is no peculiar smell.
And things like the automatic flushing toilet cubicles, the water pipes that automatically flow out when you stretch out your hand, the hand sanitizer that costs a lot of money in Jiangnan, which is also available in the cinema, and the strange boxes for drying hands after washing hands, each of which is difficult to understand.
The butler had many ideas in his mind. He wanted to make friends with the owner of the cinema, but he didn't want to lose the dignity of the Jiang family, so he spoke a little stiffly.
Lu Yao didn't react. Ye Xiao on the side raised his head slightly and glanced at the butler.
The butler was slightly stunned. Although he didn't meet her eyes, his back suddenly went cold.
Jiang Yudie lowered her eyes and didn't say a word from beginning to end. Although
she runs such a peculiar shop, this Miss Lu doesn't have any aura, and she is dull and not as smart as she looks.
On the table were several of Daofuxianju's recent signature dishes. Lu Yao knew at a glance that the chef must have watched "The Little Chef of Shengjing". The new dishes all have the shadow of the little chef.
She was indeed a little hungry. She picked up her chopsticks and tasted a few dishes. After filling her stomach a little, she spoke: "You are worthy of being the head of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. You can see the future of toilet paper. You have a vision much farther than ordinary people. I am very happy."
Jiang Yudie paused, her mouth turned down, and she shook her head in her heart.
This Miss Lu is really not smart. Not only did she not hear the contempt in the housekeeper's words, but she also praised the Jiang family and praised them so much.
Even if she heard such praise, the old lady of the Jiang family would not feel happy.
Lu Yao continued: "But I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't have any recipes for toilet paper."
The three people from the Jiang family seemed to have not expected such an answer. The look in their eyes showed disbelief that had not yet subsided.
Lu Yao shrugged and said, "After all, I run a movie theater." Not a toilet paper manufacturer.
The atmosphere froze.
Lu Yao's appetite was aroused by the few bites of food he had just taken. He felt even hungrier than before, so he simply started to eat seriously and asked Ye Xiao to eat as well. After about half
a cup of tea, the butler seemed to have adjusted his mentality and spoke again: "I was disrespectful to Manager Lu just now. I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to you."
As expected of a manager from a noble family, he is flexible and experienced in speaking and doing things.
Lu Yao drank a cup of tea with him and continued to eat without saying much.
They thought she was deliberately making things difficult for them, but they didn't know that the owner really didn't have any recipes.
Jiang Yudie frowned, a little confused. Could it be that this guy was actually pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
After finishing the meal in an anticlimactic atmosphere, Jiang Cheng called the waiter in to settle the bill.
The shopkeeper of Fuxianju came in in person, first glanced at Lu Yao, nodded politely, and then turned to look at Jiang Cheng.
Lu Yao stopped him and threw a silver ingot over, "I'll skip this meal, just treat it as a welcome for you guys."
The shopkeeper's hands were too fast, and Jiang Cheng couldn't catch up.
When the shopkeeper of Fuxianju was doing the bill, Lu Yao couldn't help but said, "Old shopkeeper, the skin of the roast duck needs to be crispy. It needs to be brushed with crispy skin water several times before roasting and air-dried. Also, the dipping sauce is not fragrant enough and the taste is a bit heavy. If you don't mind, I have a recipe here, you can try it."
The shopkeeper of Fuxianju was flattered and shouted at the door: "Hurry up and bring up the pen, ink and paper, and ask Lao Chen to come up to see Shopkeeper Lu."
Lao Chen was the boss of the kitchen staff of Fuxianju, and he didn't know why he was called up.
Lu Yao didn't write well with a brush, so he dictated.
The old shopkeeper wrote the recipe himself, and Lao Chen listened.
Lao Chen imitated many dishes according to the plot of "The Little Chef
of Shengjing", but the TV series pays attention to the camera and rhythm, and will not shoot all the cooking steps. Many details have to be guessed and tried. Lao Chen is an old master. Among the many restaurants in Liangjing that imitated "The Little Chef", the taste of Fuxianju is relatively close.
But today, after listening to Lu Yao's narration, he realized that there were many tricks involved, and asked about many unclear points in the play.
Lu Yao himself is very good at cooking, and he has seen delicacies from different worlds. The store also employs several skilled chefs, and when talking about dishes, he can be said to be endless.
Cooking is like being a person, everyone has different tastes and faces.
Moreover, in the Internet information age, there are too many bloggers who teach people how to cook online, and she is not stingy with this knowledge.
It is not so easy to really achieve the same level as the master.
However, the shopkeeper and Lao Chen of Fuxianju were like a treasure, and they were more polite to Lu Yao. The shopkeeper even treated him for lunch.
Lu Yao insisted on paying and was almost driven out.
Standing on the street, Lu Yao looked helpless.
Even more confused than her were the three Jiang family members. They began to believe that this person really did not have the toilet paper recipe.
Such a detailed recipe was casually told to others, and he didn't even ask for anything in return.
I don't know whether to say such a person is stupid or foolish.
Lu Yao turned his head to look at them and sighed, "Let's go. I'll show you the production process of toilet paper. It's just that some things are not that easy until you see them. The road ahead for the Dawu Dynasty is still too long."
Lu Yao's voice was very low, almost a whisper, for the last sentence.
Apart from Ye Xiao, probably only Jiang Yudie, who was walking beside her, heard a little.
The butler and Jiang Cheng thought it was a pleasant surprise. Seeing the production process was equivalent to getting the recipe, right?
This shopkeeper Lu is really a mystery.
Two people went out, and came back as five people.
Jinlu and Qiwu were eating in the rest area downstairs. They felt a little sad when they saw this scene. Are they all newcomers?
It seems that there is no chance at all.
In order to let the three of them see more clearly, Lu Yao asked Hongyu to take them to the private mini-hall.
She went to the backstage and connected a factory documentary series with a tablet. One of the sections talked about the production process of toilet paper.
The temporary video playback was different from the official movie. When the screen lit up, it entered the main topic.
After watching the whole process, the three people from Jiang's finally understood what Lu Yao meant.
Fully mechanized production is a concept they cannot understand.
The reason why Manager Lu dared to show them was to make sure that even if they knew the process, they would not be able to make the same paper.
There are too many things that are incomprehensible here.
Jiang Yudie finally sorted out the complicated feeling in her heart, which was a kind of looking down.
This young female manager of the cinema seemed to be standing in a very high place, looking down at all of them.
Just now in the restaurant, she must have been watching them stick to those old ways as if they were a joke?
The three people from the Jiang family left in despair. It seemed that they gained nothing from this meeting, and they also lost their dignity. Almost all of their cognitions were overturned, and their minds were confused.
Lu Yao felt that this matter would not end here.
Human curiosity and desire to explore are the purest driving force for the development of the world. Even if it is not the Jiang family, there will be the Xie family, the Li family, the Wang family, the Zhou family... The
"new" wind has already blown, and it will not end for a while.
However, this meal took a long time. Lu Yao looked at his mobile phone and found that it was almost time to meet with the courtesan. He hurried back to the lounge, packed up his makeup box, and rushed to Chunxi Building next door.
They agreed to have tea together in the afternoon and chat about rouge, powder and makeup.
