Start with the script killing shop

Grandma Qisi is a very principled old lady.

He said that he only asked for one day off for Qi Si, and he didn't even ask for leave for the morning self-study on the second morning. This also meant that Qi Si had to take the car back to Morrowind High School after watching the performance tonight.

It happened to be convenient for Wang Erya. Jiang Qi originally asked Wang Erya for a day and a half leave, and planned to send Wang Erya back the next morning. Now that Qi Si is a free ride, Wang Erya can save half a day of leave and miss half a day of study.

I just don't know if this short time can bring back Jiang Qi's impression that has hit rock bottom in Teacher Cai's heart.

It was lunch time when the four of them arrived at the amusement park. It was April, the off-season. The average daily number of visitors to the amusement park is a little better than the previous off-season, but not much better. On a normal weekday, there are about 600 people a day. This is because of the nearly 100 people in the high-mathematics tutoring amusement project. blessing.

During the Chinese New Year, the peak traffic of the amusement park reached more than 8,000 people a day. The number of people tutoring the high-speed rides was not enough. But considering the current average daily traffic of 600 people, the regular guests at Old John's side seemed to be Very important.

Their daily lunch boxes support the entire sales volume of the two canteens that specialize in lunch boxes.

By this time, Shen Lirong and the staff of the two canteens began to admire Jiang Qi's foresight. The profits from box lunches are far lower than those from other foods in the park, but they are more stable.

If an ordinary small restaurant can order at least 60 box lunches every day, the small restaurant can survive on the sales of box lunches and even live a comfortable life.

The not very popular restaurants in the amusement park are just like ordinary small restaurants.

Because there are many restaurants in the amusement park, as well as many food trucks specializing in snacks and drinks like Lillian's Goblin Stall, and there are many shops and stalls for buying snacks in Taiping Town, the competition in catering is actually quite fierce.

If these restaurant food stalls were not all owned by Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing, who are in competition with each other and are colleagues at the same time, where the basic salary is placed, and the restaurant's sales are simply linked to bonuses, these restaurant stalls would have long been incompatible with each other. It's just a fool's errand.

There are many tourists in the peak season, so you can’t tell that there is no shortage of customers everywhere. But in the off-season, you can tell which restaurants are the favorites of tourists. The dim sum shop in Taiping Town where Master Bai is in charge, the dim sum stall where Master Bai's apprentice testifies, and the Jasmine Restaurant where Ji Xue is in charge all have no worries about sales. The rest of the stalls are embarrassed by who eats the food, watching the drought and floods.

The last time Jiang Qi heard from Jiang Cha, two small restaurants with very average sales had begun to apply to Shen Lirong for Old John's lunch box production rights to be handed over to everyone for fair competition.

They even have to grab the fixed lunch boxes for the high-mathematics tutoring and recreational activities, which shows that everyone’s performance is not easy in the off-season.

During off-season workdays when everyone generally has no performance, Qi Si is like a living Bodhisattva who descends to save all sentient beings and deliver performance to the general public. She starts spending as soon as she enters the amusement park, for fear that the employees at the amusement park will not receive performance awards this month.

"Bring me 20 jins of peach cakes, 10 jins of crab roe shells, 10 jins of mochi, 10 jins of plum blossom cakes, 10 jins of Dingsheng cakes, 10 jins of crabapple cakes, and 10 jins of that thing stuffed with jujube paste. I don't remember its name. , Hey, is that the Youth League? Great, give me 5 pounds!"

"There's also that sesame pancake, that pancake, and that square one I don't remember what it's called, with candied fruit inside, each weighing 5 kilograms!"

As soon as Qi Si burst into the pastry shop, she shocked everyone.

All the waiters in the dim sum shop were dumbfounded, as were the several customers who were choosing dim sum.

"By the way, the Taiping Town event is over now, but your dim sum shop was open during the Taiping Town event, so it should also accept gold now, right?" Qi Si took out three pieces of gold from her pocket, "Is the money enough?"

"This is not enough for me." After saying that, Qi Si took out the bulging brocade bag in her pocket, opened it and poured out the contents.

Six pieces of silver and three pieces of gold were poured out of the kit.

This young lady whose family owns a bank just has the word "rich" written all over her face.

Grandma Qi Si was deeply shocked by her granddaughter's behavior. She counted on her fingers how many snacks Qi Si had just bought, and advised: "Si Si, many of these snacks will not last long. You are alone." I can’t finish it even if I buy so much, why don’t we buy a little less?”

Jiang Qi:?

Grandma Qisi, is this a matter of buying less? Isn’t the point that your granddaughter made a 4-digit start as soon as she entered the amusement park?

We haven't eaten yet, this is just an appetizer.

"Grandma, I took care of it for my classmates. No one in our class has asked for leave, only me. I have to buy sesame seeds, various kinds of cakes, braised meat and dried meat later. If there is white sugar in the restaurants in the town, If you want to buy cakes and siomai, you should also buy a few more drawers." Qi Si explained seriously, showed the admission code on her phone, and looked at the waiter who was still stunned.

"Scan the QR code and deposit all these things in the visitor center."

"Oh oh oh." The waiter quickly complied.

Jiang Qi finally figured it out. Although Qi Si came alone today, she was not alone. She represented the wallets of the whole class.

"Qinghe." Jiang Qi quietly pulled Wang Erya aside and asked puzzledly, "Isn't the food in your school cafeteria good? Why does Qi Si look like she hasn't had a full meal in three days?"

Wang Erya thought about it seriously: "Maybe it's because the food you buy when you take time off to play tastes better?"

Makes sense!

By the time Jiang Qi and others sat down at the restaurant opposite Weixian Building and started ordering, Qi Si had successfully spent all the gold, silver and copper coins she had brought back.

The snacks at the dim sum shop cost a lot of money, and it was difficult for Qi Si to spend all the remaining honeysuckle on other food items in Taiping Town, so she chose the fastest way to spend money - taking her grandma to Jinxiu Clothing Store to order clothes.

In fact, Jiang Qi originally wanted to take Qi Si and Qi Si's grandma to have a meal in the staff canteen and experience the staff canteen in the amusement park. However, the chef in charge of the employee canteen today was a mediocre chef whose restaurant sales were not good and who did not deserve a name. Jiang Qi felt that the dishes made by this chef were risky, so he took them directly to Taiping Town to eat.

At least this restaurant in Taiping Town has Master Bai on duty today.

"Brother Qinghe, I forgot to ask in the car just now, how much is a ticket to your theater? Should I transfer the money directly to Qinghe and ask Qinghe to give it to you, or should I go and buy it directly?" Qi Si drank. asked over a glass of lemonade.

"Today is an internal performance, and there is no charge for theater tickets." Jiang Qi felt that Qi Si had spent enough money.

She was hardly fighting alone just now.

"That's not possible." Grandma Qi Si, who had been silent, said, "The theater was closed today, but we were able to go to the theater only because Si Si is Qing He's classmate. This is already an advantage for us. If If you don’t pay for the theater, isn’t that just pushing the envelope?”

"I just heard you say that there are boxes in the theater. I wonder how much the boxes cost?"

Grandma Qisi said so, so Jiang Qi naturally had to offer the price readily: "Two pieces of gold with the best view."

Hearing what Jiang Qi said, Qi Si quickly rummaged through her bag to see if there was any gold left that had not been spent, and sure enough, she found three more pieces.

Jiang Qi was dumbfounded as he looked at Qi Si, looking for the missing gold and silver from various places like a magic trick.

"Why did you exchange so much gold and silver without spending it, and still bring it back?" Jiang Qi couldn't help but ask.

If you keep a piece of gold and a piece of silver, it can be said to be a fresh collection. Isn't it a bit too much to keep more than 10,000 yuan of gold and silver?

If Jiang Qi hadn't known Qisi well and knew that her family ran a bank, they were very wealthy and had no shortage of money. He also knew very well that the per capita moral level of the amusement park was extremely high, so it was almost impossible for him to pass off cheap gold and silver bought online as amusement park currency. Jiang Qi even suspected that Qi Sihua's money was counterfeit.

"There are too many people at the bank, so I can cash out more at a time to make it easier to spend." Qi Si said matter-of-factly, "There were so many people at the bank during the last winter vacation. Taiping Town was only open for two hours at a time, so there was only a queue. I only had to wait in line for 5 minutes to exchange money, what a waste of time.”

Jiang Qi:......

He discovered that he really didn't understand these rich people whose families opened banks.

Qi Si handed the two pieces of gold to Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi accepted it and regarded the 2,000 yuan as the first ticket price for the theater, which was a good start.

"The play starts this afternoon. There will be a series of small plays this afternoon, and there will be only one big play in the evening. Let me tell you in advance that all the afternoon plays will be sung by ordinary actors, and the pillars of our theater troupe will only sing the big plays in the evening. "

"Since you have reserved a private room, the afternoon show will be given to you as well. Tea and snacks are free. Just treat it as a special opening offer and don't refuse."

Qi Si took leave to take her grandma to the amusement park just to skip classes. She was not very interested in watching the play itself. Once she heard that the afternoon play was not performed by the best actors on stage, she didn't really want to watch it.

"Grandma, how about you go to the box to watch the theater in the afternoon, and I'll play in the amusement park. When the show starts in the evening, I'll go to the theater with you."

Grandma Qisi smiled and said that she still didn't know what her granddaughter was up to, and she readily agreed.

Qi Si invited Wang Erya to go to the amusement park with her in the afternoon, but Wang Erya really wanted to watch the show, regardless of whether it was played by Feng Ling or not, so she declined politely.

Qi Si can only visit the amusement park alone, enjoying the joy of not having too many people queuing up with her to grab items during the off-season.

The theater officially opened at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Since Grandma Qisi was not very interested in visiting the amusement park, Jiang Qi took Grandma Qisi directly to the theater after lunch and asked her to sit in the box upstairs, at least in the box. Sitting comfortably.

Wang Xinghua expressed a warm welcome to the first paying guest in the theater, personally brought tea and some soft snacks, and also deliberately raised the temperature in the private room. Her service attitude was very good.

Because the audience this time is a large number of decoration masters and construction workers from the Xuecun construction site, there are no VIP seats on the first floor. They are all ordinary and comfortable chairs with small tables.

Four private rooms on the second floor have been reserved in advance, one for Xue Shaoheng and Xue Hua, one for Boss Shen and Shen Liang, one for four designers, and one for Feng Ling and Wang Xinghua.

If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Qi should be in a box with Xue Shaoheng, and they might be able to talk about comics while watching the movie.

At 1:50 pm, theatergoers entered the theater one after another.

Jiang Qi carefully noticed that these tall and strong spectators seemed to have changed into new clothes, and the clothes they wore were quite bright. When working normally, these masters would not wear such brightly colored clothes, and it would be difficult to wash them if they were dirty.

"Boss Shen, have everyone changed their clothes?" Jiang Qi approached Boss Shen and asked softly.

Boss Shen, who was instructing everyone not to rush for seats. Those who wanted to watch the opera should sit forward, while those who were not interested in the opera sat back. Boss Shen replied with a smile: "Xiao Qi, you can see it. Everyone is afraid of dirtying your new theater, so we specially Came here after taking a shower."

Jiang Qi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that everyone would pay so much attention to this theater viewing.

"It seems that everyone quite likes this event." Jiang Qi said with a smile.

"Of course I do! I don't dare to tell others about things like going to the theater to watch a play. My brothers will definitely be able to blow this matter until next year." Boss Shen said with great joy. Looking at his attitude, it may not be the person who blows this matter until next year. His brother is more like himself.

"We usually go to the theater, but during the Chinese New Year, we go to other villages and just move a small bench and watch it in the open air. Who has ever been to a theater with such a beautiful decoration?"

"Xiao Qi, didn't it cost a lot of money to build this theater?" As he spoke, Boss Shen touched the pillars on the side, "These are all good wood, and it won't be a problem to stand them up for a hundred years. "

Jiang Qi secretly sighed in his heart that Boss Shen was indeed an expert. The abandoned theater had indeed been standing for a hundred years, but Wang Xinghua had been trapped in the theater for nearly a hundred years.

Jiang Qi wanted to talk about something more, but his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, it was Hu Qing calling.

Xue Hua and Xue Shaoheng have arrived!

Jiang Qi quickly ran to the theater door to pick him up.

Xue Shaoheng is the key to the promotion of the IP "Spirit of Toys" and cannot be neglected!

It’s up to him whether the wizard Kaka can come to work in another world!

Hu Qing's phone calls were always made at the right time. Jiang Qi waited at the entrance of the theater for two minutes before he saw Xue Hua and Xue Shaoheng.

The two siblings look a bit different.

Xue Hua looks about 40 years old. She doesn’t wear makeup. She probably doesn’t know how to take care of herself. She looks a bit old and doesn’t know how to dress well. The color of her coat doesn’t match the sweater underneath. She wears comfortable white sneakers and her hair is I had it permed and slightly curled but didn't take care of it, so the curls were a bit messy.

Xue Shaoheng is completely different.

He could tell at a glance that he was being taken care of.

The baby face looks very small, the hair is slightly naturally curly, white and clean, the clothes on the body are neatly dressed, the collar is folded very well, the clothes have no wrinkles, there is a cross-body bag on the waist, holding it with both hands The straps of the bag are just like those of a nervous child who is going on an autumn outing for the first time.

Xue Shaoheng himself is very much like a child. Although he is actually 31 years old, his behavior is undoubtedly that of a well-educated child of six or seven years old. When he saw Jiang Qi, he nodded obediently to him and bowed slightly as a greeting. .

"Hello, Boss Jiang, I am Xue Hua, and this is my brother Xue Shaoheng. Shao Heng, I want to say hello to Boss Jiang." Xue Hua said to Xue Shaoheng in a gentle voice.

Xue Shaoheng looked up at Jiang Qi, lowered his head slightly, looked away, and bowed again: "Okay."

"My brother talks like this. He can't express himself completely. He usually jumps out word by word or word by word. If you don't understand, I can be his translator." Xue Hua explained. road.

"Director Hu has told me about this situation before." Jiang Qi said with a smile, without looking at Xue Shaoheng too much, and made a gesture of invitation.

"I'll take you two to the box. The show will start soon."

"Okay." Xue Hua took Xue Shaoheng's hand, just like parents hold the hands of a child who is only a few years old, and led her brother to the theater.

Hu Qing completed his mission of leading and handing over, and went back to continue other work.

"How is Mr. Xue's condition lately?" Jiang Qi asked with concern.

"It's been fine recently, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bring him here without worry." Xue Hua said, not a single person taking his eyes away from Xue Shaoheng.

Jiang Qi led the two of them into the box, where food, tea and water were all ready. Because she was worried that Xue Hua and Xue Shaoheng would not drink tea, Wang Xinghua specially prepared fruit juice and grass juice.

The three of them sat down. Whether it was on purpose or by chance, Xue Shaoheng looked curiously at the grass juice on the table, picked up a glass and started to drink it in small sips.

The actors had already appeared on the stage. Jiang Qi sent a message to ask Wang Xinghua and learned that the first play was "The Edge of the Cabinet", so he informed Xue Hua by the way.

Xue Hua nodded. From the moment she entered the box, she no longer paid too much attention to Xue Shaoheng as before, but focused her eyes on the stage. She didn't drink tea or eat snacks. It was obvious that she had listened to opera and had some interest in it.

And Xue Shaoheng was like a child who accompanied his parents to watch a movie he didn't like, sitting on a chair, eating and drinking quietly, not making any noise, doing nothing but watching the movie.

Jiang Qi sat on the edge and looked at the stage and the two siblings. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to start a conversation about comics. However, he didn't expect that Xue Hua really liked listening to and watching plays, but he didn't dare to disturb others. He wanted to chat with Xue Shaoheng...

Jiang Qi is not without self-awareness. With Xue Shaoheng's communication method, there is a high probability that he will not be able to understand it.

The 40-minute play ended like this.

From beginning to end, Jiang Qi didn't even say a word.

After the first play, he didn't even have the nerve to ask Xue Hua how the opera went.

He couldn't tell how well the opera was sung. If Xue Hua could really tell how well the opera was sung, it would be really embarrassing for him to start this topic.

Just when Jiang Qi was struggling, Xue Shaoheng stood up and carefully and vigorously pulled Xue Hua's sleeve.

"me!"

Xue Hua didn't react much.

Seeing that his sister didn't understand what he meant, Xue Shaoheng became a little anxious: "Me, you, me!"

Jiang Qi:? ? ?

What is this new way of communication?

Should he send Jiang Cha to translate now?

Jiang Cha can even translate dog language, and maybe Xue Shaoheng's language can also be translated.

Xue Hua suddenly understood, stood up quickly, and began to apologize: "Shao Heng, I'm sorry, it was my sister who forgot. My sister hasn't watched the show for a long time, and she was a little fascinated just now."

Xue Hua looked at Jiang Qi: "Boss Jiang, Shao Heng wants to go to the toy theater to watch a toy drama. Are there any toy drama performances now?"

"Of course." Jiang Qi stood up immediately, "There are always toy drama performances during the day, I will take you there now."

Xue Shaoheng grabbed the strap of his bag nervously. Xue Hua took his hand and followed Jiang Qi out of the box.

Xue Shaoheng would show some nervousness whenever there were too many people along the way. When Xue Hua saw Jiang Qi's attention, he quickly explained: "Originally, Shao Heng would not be in this situation because he was stimulated some time ago and is now more open to the outside world. That’s what happens when you’re sensitive.”

Jiang Qi nodded to express his understanding, and finally understood why Xue Hua was unwilling to let Xue Shaoheng come over to take over the comic order.

Xue Shaoheng's current state is indeed not suitable for contacting too many people in an unfamiliar environment.

Even in the off-season, there was no shortage of people queuing up at the toy theater. Jiang Qi led Xue Shaoheng and Xue Hua in through the back door, and a play inside was halfway through.

Jiang Qi whispered to a staff member to bring two high chairs to Xue Shaoheng and Xue Hua so that they could sit at the back and watch.

This time it was completely the other way around.

Xue Hua was probably sitting at the back and couldn't see clearly on the stage, so she watched very absent-mindedly. Xue Shaoheng was the complete opposite. He was so focused that he even blinked less frequently. His emotions and emotions changed completely according to the changes in the plot on the stage.

"Shao Heng should really like the toy drama in your amusement park." Xue Hua whispered to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi could feel that Xue Hua had something to say and gave her a curious look.

Sure enough, Xue Hua began to talk to herself: "Our father passed away when Shao Heng was very young. He used to be a normal child when he was a child, but then he became like this due to an accident. My mother couldn't bear the blow. He left us behind and left home.”

"Everyone thinks he is a fool, but I am the only one who knows very well that he is a genius. Although he cannot express and communicate normally, he has a photographic memory. In fact, there is not much difference between him and normal people, except that the way he expresses is different from normal people. People are just different.”

"He also has things he likes and wants to do. When he was a child, he didn't like watching other children playing with toys. At that time, I didn't have money to buy them for him, so he could only watch from the side. Later, when we had money, , if I buy him toys again, he won’t like playing with them.”

"Although I have been with him day and night for 30 years, in fact, many times I can't really understand what he wants."

"Many people say that his paintings are very talented, very soulful, and have a different kind of beauty. I actually don't understand painting, and I can't really appreciate the black and white and gray paintings that Shao Heng painted, but as long as he likes I will support him to do it.”

"If he likes to paint, let him paint. If he likes to do something else, let him do something else. Just like this time, I don't really want him to come, but if he insists on coming, I can only compromise in the end."

"Compared to most family members of savant syndrome patients, I am extremely lucky. For us family members of patients, how much success can they achieve, whether they can become rich, and whether they can shine in their own fields It doesn't matter if they become real geniuses in the eyes of the world. We just want them to be safe and live a happy life until they grow old. Even without our care, they can live normally."

"So." Xue Hua looked at Jiang Qi, "Boss Jiang, we may be the most irresponsible collaborators you have ever seen."

"I'm not sure whether Shao Heng will always like the job of drawing comics, and I'm not sure whether he can do this job."

"I am his guardian. I will not force him. If he doesn't like it, I will let him give up directly. So we may not be a good partner, if you..."

"It's okay." Jiang Qi smiled and said, "I understand."

It's not like Jiang Qi didn't do any homework. Patients with savant syndrome are different from normal people. Of course, he can't ask Xue Shaoheng according to the standards of normal people.

"To be honest, given Mr. Xue's reputation as a painter, your offer is already quite low. No matter what, I am taking advantage."

"It would be great if Mr.

“But I believe that Mr. Xue’s talent can give the toys in comics their own souls.”

I don't know if Jiang Qi and Xue Hua were chatting too loudly and Xue Shaoheng heard clearly, or if there was something about the performance on stage that touched Xue Shaoheng.

Xue Shaoheng suddenly smiled and pointed at the toy spirit on the stage, turned to Xue Hua and Jiang Qi and said, "It's alive."

Jiang Qi was stunned.

Xue Hua smiled and said: "They are not alive, they are all mechanical toys, they just look like they are alive."

"Alive." Xue Shaoheng said stubbornly.

Xue Hua could only smile and nod.

Jiang Qi looked at Xue Shaoheng with eyes full of admiration.

If he still felt it before, he is convinced now.

If there is only one person in the world who can draw the soul of the toy spirit, then this person must be Xue Shaoheng.

He is really a wonderful genius.
