Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Half an hour later, Butler Chen hurried into the hall, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead and his cheeks slightly flushed, but his eyes flashed with a sense of accomplishment that was hard to conceal.

He calmed down a bit, then said to Jiang Xue, "Miss, I have successfully booked a date for you with the opera troupe! They are very happy to come to our small village to perform. Moreover, the daily performance fee is only ten taels of silver. The person standing over there is the troupe leader, and they can prepare for the opening performance at any time!"

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, expressing her satisfaction. Then, she turned to look at the squad leader and said slowly, "I hope you can perform in our village for three consecutive days. What do you think?" The squad leader of the troupe nodded and responded, "Hello, Miss Jiang! My surname is Chen. If you don't mind, you can just call me squad leader Chen. As for the performances, the price of the evening performances will be slightly higher. I wonder which one Miss Jiang prefers to arrange?"

Jiang Xue thought for a moment and replied, "Then let's choose the evening show! After all, everyone is busy with farm work during the day and doesn't have much time and energy to watch a play. The evening show is more suitable."

The troupe leader nodded in agreement, and responded, "Ms. Jiang is thoughtful. The evening show is indeed more suitable for everyone. Our troupe will make every effort to prepare and bring you a wonderful performance."

At this time, Butler Chen on the side also interrupted and said, "Miss, I have arranged the venue. It is in the square in the center of the village. I have already informed the villagers, and I believe they will be looking forward to this performance very much."

Jiang Xue nodded with satisfaction and continued to say to the squad leader: "Thank you for your hard work. I will be waiting for you at Jiangjia Village tomorrow night."

The monitor expressed his gratitude again: "Ms. Jiang is so kind. It is our honor to come to your village to perform. We will definitely do our best and not let you down."

......

That afternoon, Jiang Xue returned to Jiangjia Village with the lantern-making tools she had carefully prepared. She was extremely excited because she was about to announce a piece of news that would excite the entire village.

She first came to Mr. Jiang's yard, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Mr. Jiang drinking tea. Jiang Xue walked up with a smile and told Mr. Jiang about inviting the opera troupe to perform in the village.

When Mr. Jiang heard this, he was so excited that he almost dropped the cup in his hand. He quickly put down the cup, stood up, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. Without waiting for Jiang Xue to speak, he picked up the loudspeaker next to him and ran out of the yard quickly, eager to tell the villagers the good news.

"Fellow villagers! Good news! Good news!" Old Man Jiang's voice echoed in the village, attracting the attention of many villagers.

"Our village is going to have a grand opera performance! It's a troupe specially invited by the clan leader, and the show will start in the threshing ground tomorrow night!" Grandpa Jiang shouted excitedly.

When the villagers heard the news, they gathered together with joyful smiles on their faces. They passed the good news to each other and talked about the upcoming opera performance.

"That's great! Finally there's a play to watch! I've never watched an opera before!" Aunt Wang said happily.

"Yes! Yes! This is all thanks to Miss Jiang! She is really a great benefactor of our village!" Aunt Li also echoed.

The children jumped up with excitement. They couldn't wait to see how wonderful the opera performance would be tomorrow night.

The whole village was immersed in the joy of the upcoming opera performance, and Jiang Xue also felt extremely gratified.

Soon the news spread to the entire village, including people from neighboring villages.

The villagers of Taohua Village said to Lin Lizheng excitedly: "Have you heard? Miss Jiang invited a troupe to perform in their village, and it's an evening show! We can enjoy it tomorrow night."

Several other villagers also seemed very happy: "Yes, I heard about it too. This is good news. It has been a long time since it has been so lively."

The children were even more excited. They gathered together to discuss the opera they were going to watch tomorrow night and imagined the heroic characters and beautiful scenery in the play.

After Mr. Jiang returned home leisurely, Jiang Xue couldn't wait to make a suggestion.

"Grandpa, why don't we take this opportunity to make the village more lively?" Jiang Xue's eyes sparkled with excitement. She walked quickly to Grandpa Jiang and continued, "Let Butcher Zhang send twenty pigs. We will hold a grand banquet as a benefit for the villagers."

After listening to Jiang Xue's words, Mr. Jiang smiled. He slowly stroked his beard and pondered for a while. He deeply understood that such a banquet could not only deepen the feelings between the villagers, but also make the whole village more united and harmonious.

"Sanniu, your idea is good." Old Master Jiang nodded, expressing his appreciation. "Then let's do as you say. Go and discuss it with Butcher Zhang and ask him to prepare as soon as possible."

Just then, a voice came from the yard: "Hey, Zhang the butcher's son just delivered the meat to the meatball factory!" It turned out that Jiang Chen, who had just walked into the yard, heard the old man mention Zhang the butcher and hurriedly interrupted.

"Then I'll go over and take a look now." Jiang Xue said as she grabbed Chen Yuxi's hand and ran out at a brisk pace. Their figures soon disappeared at the door, as if they had left quickly like a gust of wind.

Jiang Xue and Chen Yuxi walked through the village path, the sunlight shining on them, forming golden halos.

The villagers on the road greeted them one after another with friendly smiles on their faces.

When they arrived at the meatball factory, Zhang Zhehan was concentrating on sorting the fresh meat that had just been delivered. Seeing Jiang Xue and Chen Yuxi, Zhang Zhehan put down his work without hesitation and walked over with a smile on his face. The name Zhang Zhehan was given to him by Zhong Ziqi himself not long ago, and he loved it very much.

"Miss Jiang, why are you here suddenly?" Zhang Zhehan asked with a smile.

Jiang Xue also smiled and replied, "Mr. Zhang, we came here today to discuss something with you. We are planning to hold a banquet and hope to buy some pork from you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to prepare it for us?"

Zhang Zhehan heard this and immediately nodded, "That's absolutely no problem. Miss Jiang, if you have any needs, I will naturally fully support you. How much meat do you need? I can start preparing it for you now."

His family's original financial situation did not allow them to raise so many pigs, but it was because of Jiang Xue's generous help that his family was able to successfully raise so many pigs.
