Chapter 137 Brothels and Teahouses (1)



I am so sad inside that I haven't even spoken, please listen to what I say, gentlemen passing by.

Whoever goes to Nanjing will pass the letter to my Sanlang.

It is said that Su San took her life, and I will repay her in the next life by turning into a dog or a horse.

People say that the flowers in Luoyang are as beautiful as brocade, but when I come here it is not spring.

He left Hongdong County with his head down.

Ye Lang was singing a cappella, and his falsetto was captivating. Because of this, the people around him were immersed in it and fell in love with this opera singing style that they had never heard before.

This is a teahouse in Yecheng, the only teahouse in Yecheng, and also the only one in the entire continent. You could even say it's the only one in the world.

In this world, there are bars and hotels, places where people gather to drink. Tea is rarely served in these places because some people think that drinking is what makes people manly and heroic.

Needless to say, this teahouse was founded by Ye Lang. It wasn't because he was optimistic about the teahouse market, but because he was bored and wanted to have fun, and he was also prepared to squander his fortune!

To put it simply, this is the wasteland he built out of boredom!!

According to the environment of this continent, opening a teahouse is basically a loss, because people who go to bars to drink will eventually change their habits and go to teahouses to drink tea and chat, and they still like to drink.

And those nobles who drink tea will not lower their status and go to teahouses to drink tea, so this business is difficult to do and will not be favored by anyone!

For Ye Lang, this kind of place is perfect. It can entertain him and make him rich. Operating at a loss is his goal!

Seventh Brother opposed Ye Lang's decision to invest money in it from the very beginning, but how could Ye Lang possibly obey him? How could he not invest money and squander the money?

"Well, the house needs to be big enough to accommodate a year-round stage."

“It should be like an opera house, with a view of the stage in the center from every room.” “All tools should not be luxurious in appearance, but should be exquisite and elegant, and the materials must be the best.”

"Tea, use the best quality

These demands made Seventh Brother sweat profusely. He tried to stop Ye Lang several times, but all failed. This was because Ye Lang was using his own money, hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Oh. I regret it so much. I actually ignored so many gold coins and said I didn't want this...

The more Brother Qi thinks about it, the more he regrets it!!

Just like that, under Ye Lang's financial offensive, a teahouse with extremely high cost was built. This teahouse cost a full 200,000 gold coins, which was amazing.

However, just as Ye Lang requested, despite the high cost, this teahouse did not give people the feeling of showing off wealth, but gave people a sense of elegance, naturalness and freshness.

This is what a teahouse should have! !

Although Ye Lang was a spendthrift, he did not like the luxurious and magnificent lifestyle. That was purely the feeling of a nouveau riche. He liked the elegant and restrained simplicity.

I am a low-key loser!!!

Since it is called a teahouse, it naturally operates in the form of a teahouse, but there are some slight changes to suit the habits of the people in Yecheng, but the main theme of drinking tea and listening to opera has not changed.

Since no one knew how to sing opera, they used opera instead. But it wasn't long before Ye Lang abandoned it. It didn't feel like a teahouse at all!

In order to create the feeling of a teahouse, Ye Lang spared no expense, even using a long-spouted teapot to practice brewing tea.

Therefore, in order to find the feeling, he would directly recruit potential actors with good voices, train them to sing, and then write his own scripts, which were usually plagiarized...

This feeling came up immediately, and it attracted many people to come. After all, Ye Lang's teahouse is not for profit, and the tea fee is not very expensive. Of course, the private rooms are excluded, which are very expensive like normal places.

However, the feeling of a teahouse is usually only felt in the main hall; you won’t get it in the private rooms!

Besides tea and snacks, teahouses also have another important way to make money, which is ordering operas. There is no single rule for ordering them. There are cheap ones and expensive ones. Once people rush to order operas, it becomes even more difficult to say.

The most important point is that the teahouse's business is actually linked to its popularity. If you have few customers, you will definitely lose money. But if it is packed, even if you want to lose money, you won't!

Ye Lang seemed to have encountered this situation miraculously again. In a very short time, his teahouse became very popular and was packed with officials and ministers.

The reason was not only the novelty, but also the factor of Ye Lang. In Ye City, many people wanted to have close contact with the little city lord. Now the news about Ye Lang, the city lord, was circulating everywhere in the city, so how could people not feel curious?

Of course, this can only retain popularity temporarily. The real way to retain popularity still depends on the teahouse itself!

But Ye Lang is absolutely crucial. At least for now, Ye Lang is the teahouse's signature. Many people come here just for Ye Lang, but this purpose is somewhat inconsistent.

Before, I went to Ye Lang out of curiosity, but this time I went there just for enjoyment, because of Ye Lang’s singing!

Because before Qi Lian could find a singer, Ye Lang wanted to perform on stage. He had never performed on stage before, so he just wanted to have fun.

But, this time he did it so well that everyone was shocked!!

Opera, a medium that has been sung for thousands of years, naturally has a strange charm. When Ye Lang sings a song in falsetto, the sound can be described as lingering in the ears for three days.

In addition to being shocked, there was also astonishment, because no one had ever thought that a man could sing in this way, and they actually didn't know that this was actually a singing style created for men out of desperation.

In ancient China, being an actor was a lowly profession, and women were not allowed to show their faces in public, so it was difficult to find a woman in an opera troupe. In addition, women were not allowed to perform in some types of operas.

There are no women singing in the opera, but there are female roles, so the only option is for a man to dress up as a woman and sing in falsetto!

Over time, this formed a special singing style with a unique flavor. In the end, some opera artists put on their costumes and became as charming as men.

Ye Lang was not wearing any costume or makeup, otherwise it would have caused a bigger sensation and would have driven a group of people crazy.

In fact, Ye Lang did go on stage in costume and makeup, but few people knew it was him. He left behind a very beautiful myth, making many people crazy for a non-existent goddess.

This drama also has to be thanked by Ye Lanyu. It was because she chased Ye Lang that this result came about. When she was a child, she had seen Ye Lang wearing women's clothes. She dressed him up that time herself. But because of this, Ye Lang began to resist going shopping with her.

I wish you all a happy New Year, watch the Spring Festival Gala at home, and ask for the last monthly ticket this year.
