Chapter 74 Acrobatic Troupe Performance
Garlic vermicelli shrimp, pineapple pork ribs, old duck soup, roasted pig's trotters with soybeans...
A series of delicious dishes were served.
The few people who were only there to help out throughout the process were drooling at the sight of the food on the table.
Oh my god, my aunt never said she was such a good cook!
Every dish is a masterpiece and is in no way inferior to those prepared by chefs outside.
Even Hua Yi, who has tasted all kinds of delicious food, is now convinced by Lin Jin.
Several people almost finished all the food, it was so delicious that they couldn't stop eating.
The consequence of gluttony is that a group of people hold their stomachs and feel very bloated.
"Auntie, why didn't I realize you had this skill before? If I had known it was so delicious, I would have come here to eat every day."
Hua Yi held her stomach and sighed, she didn't even know the chef was there and almost missed the delicious food.
"Yes! Auntie, you are too low-key. With this skill, you can open a restaurant."
Minghui stood up, holding her stomach, and leaned against the wall to speed up digestion.
Sang Yue raised her hand silently, "So you understand how happy I am every day, right? I can eat delicious food every day and feel that life has hope."
The more he talked, the more exaggerated he became. Lin Jin smiled and said, "It's just a home-cooked meal. It's definitely not as good as a chef's. Do you want to go out for a walk this afternoon? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dinner."
Jiang Le took out a poster from his pocket and said, "Someone gave it to me on the way here. There's an acrobatic show in the park nearby. It's only 20 yuan per person. Do you want to go and see it?"
"acrobatics?"
Hua Yi and Sang Yue leaned over curiously, and even Ming Sui came over burping.
A yellow poster was placed on the table, with several lines of text in large bold letters, indicating the time and location of the performance.
The last performance will start at 2:30 pm in a nearby park.
There are several photos on the poster, including someone riding a motorcycle through a ring of fire, a vase girl having her head and body separated, a thin man crushing a stone with his chest, and a mysterious magic show.
The five people had never seen an acrobatic performance before, and Hua Yi had never even heard of it. Now, when they suddenly saw these exciting scenes, they were all eager to try it.
"Go ahead! It looks like fun."
"The poster said it was the last show, so we went to buy tickets and came back just in time for dinner after the show."
All five of them agreed to go, so they quickly cleaned up the kitchen and went out.
The park is not far from the community, so in order to save time, Sang Yue drove everyone there.
After driving for about ten minutes, a few people saw a colorful tent stationed in the park from afar through the car window.
Cheerful and melodious music came, accompanied by the sound of horns attracting everyone.
"The Lexi Acrobatic Troupe will start the performance at 2:30 pm. There will be various exciting performances. Everyone is welcome to come and watch..."
Sang Yue drove the car into the park and parked it in the parking space, and several people walked to the ticket purchasing point.
A middle-aged lady with a loudspeaker was selling tickets to a group of people in line with a stack of tickets in her hand.
Most of the people who come to watch the acrobatic performances are children, followed by middle-aged and elderly people, and there are very few young girls like Lin Jin.
The ticket seller couldn't help but take a closer look at the five people to make sure they were there to see the show before she gave them the tickets.
Several people felt creepy when they were looked at by the aunt.
They are not thieves, why are you looking at them like that?
"Auntie, what do you think we are doing?" Minghui asked bluntly.
The ticket seller laughed awkwardly, then quickly looked away and apologized to the group, "Excuse me, ladies. I thought you were here to cause trouble. Sorry!"
"make trouble?"
Minghui was stunned and looked at her roommate with her eyes, asking her if she looked like a bad person.
Several people shook their heads.
No, at least they didn't see it.
The aunt explained: "It's like this, because the acrobatic troupe has been reported by young people some time ago, so I am more cautious when selling tickets, for fear that they will come again."
Minghui: "Why was it reported? Is there any illegal performance?"
Auntie sighed, "That group of people spread rumors that our circus had animal performances. They reported us every time we performed, causing the performances to be delayed again and again, until today when we had our last performance."
"Animal show?"
The five people were full of questions.
Is there anything wrong with animal performances?
Doesn’t the oceanarium also have animal shows?
When my aunt saw that no one was queuing up to buy tickets, she expressed her sadness to them with a sympathetic heart.
"For a circus like ours, many of the eye-catching shows are not about flying trapeze artists, but performances with rare animals."
"For example, performances like tigers jumping through fire rings and monkeys walking on poles are more attractive than ordinary shows. After all, people are used to seeing all kinds of performances, but animal performances are the first time they have seen them, so many people will come to see animal performances when they hear about them."
"But I don't know when it started, some people think animal performances are cruel, and they often go around reporting circuses for abusing animals and not allowing us to perform publicly."
"So, there will be animals in today's show as well?"
Jiang Le found a picture online and read the content to everyone: "I saw on the Internet that many circuses use whips on animals and do not give them food in order to make them perform willingly. Is your acrobatic troupe also like this?"
"What! Whipping! You are abusing animals. Aren't you afraid that the tiger will eat you in one bite?"
Minghui spoke angrily.
If the acrobatic troupe is really as what is said online, then they fully deserve to be reported.
Sang Yue couldn't bear to see this and wanted to refund the ticket and not watch the show.
Hua Yi even turned around and left.
Although she was curious about animal performances, she would rather not watch such a performance.
I know that not all animals are obedient, but that is just my own teaching. I will never beat an animal to death.
"Hey, hey, hey! Come on! Can you guys just listen to me?"
The ticket seller looked panicked and hurriedly stopped a group of people.
"To be honest, every circus that has survived to this day has had experience with animals. But that was the business of the previous director. Our current director has long since sent the animals to the zoo for retirement."
"Now the circus has no animal performances, only a big yellow dog guarding the door."
She tried to explain, sweat breaking out on her forehead in the cold weather, "If you don't believe me, go in and see for yourself. If there really is an animal show, I will definitely refund the tickets."
The five people stopped in their tracks, not quite believing it, but still with doubt in their eyes.
Lin Jin: "Then why would others report you?"
Hua Yiye raised his chin slightly and asked, "You said, if you can't come up with a good answer, we will refund the ticket."
Speaking of this, my aunt gets very angry.
"It's still those little bastards. They came to the circus last month to watch the performance. When they saw we had a dog, they went to touch it. On the way, they learned that the big yellow dog was tied up every day and fed with leftovers. They started to call us crazy and said we were insane."
"I think these people are simply sick. What's wrong with dogs eating leftovers? They eat whatever we eat. What's the problem with that?"
"The group of people didn't believe us and threatened us to treat the big yellow dog well and not tie it up. We had to feed it dog food and take it for sterilization so that it wouldn't give birth to puppies."
"The team leader found out that a bag of dog food costs hundreds of yuan, and a few dozen yuan per pound is more expensive than rice. He needs to eat several bags a month. Those people also said that he should buy better dog food and not buy a few yuan per pound, otherwise it would be abusing the dog."
"After the troupe leader rejected them, they spread rumors online that we were abusing animals, not feeding the dogs and beating them, and then reported us to the relevant departments and banned us from performing."
"So we have been performing every time and it's not working these days. Today, on New Year's Eve, there were so many people that we wanted to finish the last show and go home. Otherwise, we would have returned home long ago and would not be wandering around outside on New Year's Eve."
The aunt said a lot of things in one breath, and after taking a breath, she angrily cursed: "Tell me, are these people hateful?"
