Chai Song took the man to move the box from the carriage to the backyard.
Qiu He arranged for the women to check in. After everyone had chosen their rooms and put their belongings away, she consciously came out to get the cleaning tools and started cleaning the store.
Chai Song put the puppet into the warehouse, arranged accommodation for the man and joined in the cleaning.
There were a lot of them, and although some of them died along the way, there were still eighty-three people alive, including fifty-two women and thirty-one men.
Xia Wanniang watched as smiles slowly appeared on their faces, as if they had a vision for life.
Women like Qiuhe did the delicate work, while men like Chaisong followed behind them and helped them carry heavy objects.
They cooperated very well, leaving no room for Xia Wanniang to intervene: "Is there anyone among you who knows music?"
Qiu He and the others shook their heads: "Master Xiao just asked us, and we don't know how to play music."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "How is your puppet training going?"
"We all know how to operate it, but we've never performed it." Chai Song shook his head embarrassedly.
Xia Wanniang asked them not to clean up yet: "Please perform a scene for me. Just stand behind the curtain. It will be very tiring to stretch out the puppet."
Qiu He and the others discussed and selected a few people. They went to the warehouse in the backyard to get the puppets. They bowed to Xia Wanniang and walked behind the curtain.
Xia Wanniang asked everyone else to sit down and watch. She looked at Qiu He next to her and said, "Are there any of you who are good at cooking?"
Qiu He nodded: "Sister Hong and Sister Li are very good at cooking."
Xia Wanniang planned to let them make their own snacks: "I'll ask my mother to teach them how to make snacks in a few days."
Qiu He smiled and agreed: "Okay."
Xia Wanniang didn't say anything, as the puppet show here had already begun.
It’s no wonder that the performers all had nice voices, and there was a special sound amplifier under the stage, so you could hear them clearly no matter where you were in the building.
It was also the first time for Chai Song and his friends to sit in the audience and watch a puppet show, and they were all fascinated by it.
Xiao Chiye brought Huo Si Niang to the store when the puppet show began.
Huo Si Niang was attracted by the performance on the stage. It was more straightforward and more interesting than the performance on the opera stage. She even wanted to see what story would happen next.
Xiao Chiye applauded after their performance: "Good!"
Everyone heard the voice, turned around and saw him, and quickly stood up and saluted him: "Master Xiao."
Xiao Chiye waved his hands: "It's a great performance."
Several people who came out from behind the curtain on the stage had red faces, and it was unclear whether they were excited or shy, but it was not difficult to see the joy on their faces.
Xia Wanniang walked up to Huo Si Niang and said, "I didn't expect that Fourth Sister would come with us."
"I heard Mr. Xiao say that puppet shows are very interesting, so I followed to take a look." Huo Si Niang explained with a smile.
Xia Wanniang smiled faintly: "I just want to find a way for them to survive."
Huo Si Niang was happy: "I wonder if my sister is willing to find a way to live for those other poor people."
Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows: "I wonder who Fourth Sister is talking about?"
"You are looking for a musician, but there may not be many suitable ones in Luocheng. However, there is a woman from a certain place who is suitable." After saying this, Huo Si Niang looked at her.
Xia Wanniang was a smart person. Based on what Huo Si Niang had just said, she had already guessed that these women were probably older women from the brothel.
She had her sights set on brothels in the first place, so how could she collect intelligence without mentioning brothels?
"That would be the best, why don't you give me some help, Sister Huo?"
Huo Si Niang knew that she was smart, so she approached him and whispered a few words: "The people behind the brothel and the casino are not simple."
Xia Wanniang understood that these two businesses were both money-consuming businesses, and they could not be done without some means and background: "I wonder who are the people behind this?"
Huo Si Niang: "Qiu He from Xicheng, businessman Boss Zhang, and another one who is more mysterious, and the details have not been investigated yet."
Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at the three people. Two of them were old acquaintances. Since they were acquaintances, it would be easier to get things done.
Although Qiu He seems to be out of tune with this guy, he has a passionate heart. So why not go find him first?
