The system took me to the peak of life in ancient times
Chapter 10 Mid-Autumn Festival Opening
Wang Simeng went out to find a dealer to buy a shop. She chose a 300-square-meter, two-story house from the dealer. The location was excellent, but the decoration was a bit old. Wang Simeng didn't care whether the decoration was old or not, because she was going to renovate it anyway.
The house cost 1,200 taels, and he also bought a small house with exquisite decoration, intending to use it as his residence in Qingshan City. Although the hotel is good, it is okay to stay there occasionally, which cost 300 taels. In total, he spent 1,500 taels.
I also bought a few maids and servants, and a family of four. I planned to have them work in my new home instead of in the store. After all, my new home was so big that I couldn't take care of it by myself. I only planned to recruit people in the store.
After collecting the title deed, Wang Simeng prepared to find someone to renovate the house. He drew a modern design drawing in his space and found someone to start decorating the cinema. He and a few servants also moved into the newly bought house. The pavilions and towers were scattered and Wang Simeng was very satisfied.
In the new courtyard, everyone stood in a row. Wang Simeng asked someone to bring out a stool from the room. He sat in the courtyard and looked at everyone one by one.
"From left to right, everyone please tell us your name, age, and what you can do!" Wang Simeng said to everyone.
"My name is Tiezhu, I'm 16 years old, and I know a little bit of Kung Fu."
"My servant, Li Datou, is 25 years old and can drive a horse-drawn carriage."
"My servant Chang Dexi is 22 years old. I can run fast and run errands..."
"I am Chen Zhaodi, 13 years old. I can clean the room, grow vegetables, cook simple meals, and do laundry."
"I am a 15-year-old servant named Chang Daya. I can also clean the house, cook and wash clothes."
"I am Zhao Cuilian, 14 years old. I can do anything. If you don't know how to do something, I can learn it."
"I am Shuang'er, 15 years old. I used to be a maid in a wealthy family. I can embroider and write."
"My servant Cui'er is 16 years old. I can make clothes and do accounting."
"My servant Laishun, 30 years old, was a cook before."
"The old slave Chang Gui, 38 years old, used to be a housekeeper. The old woman next to him is my wife Tian Guihua, who managed the backyard before she was 36 years old." Then he pointed at Chang Dexi and said, "This is my eldest son," and then pointed at Chang Daya and said, "Chang Daya is my eldest daughter."
"From now on, your names, from left to right, will be: Defu, Deshou, Dexi, Chun'er, Xia'er, Qiu'er, Shuang'er, Cui'er, Uncle Changgui and Aunt Tian'er. Shuang'er and Cui'er do not need to change their names. Laishun can still be called Laishun.
Defu taught everyone some martial arts at home, and everyone had to learn. Shuang'er and Cui'er stayed with me for the time being.
As for the others...let Uncle De and Aunt Tian assign them jobs and accommodations, and let Uncle De take care of the money for now.
Also, don't call me a slave or a servant anymore, just call yourself me. Don't kneel down for no reason, I don't like it. From now on, you can call me Miss. If you all behave well in the future, I will not treat you unfairly. But if anyone tries to be cunning, I will not tolerate any injustice.
By the way, if I forgot to arrange anything, Uncle De can handle it on his own. If he really can’t do it, he can come to me. That’s it for now.”
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching here.
Wang Siming wanted to do something big. This time the renovation took a full seven days. After paying the workers, he closed the door and walked around.
There are two floors, with 16 screening rooms on each floor. The large screening room can accommodate 100 people, the medium screening room can accommodate 70 people, there are 6 large screening rooms, 4 medium screening rooms, and 8 small screening rooms as family screening rooms that can accommodate 16 people. Double sofas are placed in a staggered manner, and there is also a separate bathroom.
There are three ticket windows on the right side of the entrance, and the control room is on the right side of the ticket windows. The monitoring room is on the left side.
Wang Simeng himself has already practiced the first volume of "Heart Refining Technique" and "Five Elements Misty Fist" to the top through the time difference in space. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest person on this continent, and with the existence of the golden finger, Wang Simeng is not afraid of anyone. Therefore, from the beginning, he never thought of deliberately concealing his uniqueness.
Each screening room was equipped with projection equipment, sofas, and coffee tables purchased on the online shopping page. They were taken out from the space and placed one by one.
Wang Simeng thought about the problem of film resources. In the past, people watched movies projected on film. With the development of the times, film projection has gradually become digital, simple and convenient.
I searched for movie resources on the shopping page, and immediately different types of movies appeared. "The system is pretty strong." Up to the moment of traveling through ancient times, all the movies can be bought. Domestic, foreign, modern, ancient, anime, movies, TV series, variety shows, various languages, even the language can be adjusted to ancient, and there are 3D resources. It's absolutely amazing.
Although I could watch it in my own villa before, I couldn't share it with others. Now, I can watch movies and TV series with my sisters whenever I have nothing to do. "This is such a wonderful life." Wang Simeng smiled and smacked her lips.
I hung a recruitment sign at the door. It was done.
"Ding, mission completed, rewards have been sent into the space."
Wang Simeng activated the almighty shopkeeper character card, and a handsome young man in his early twenties appeared in front of him. His name was Qingyun. The cinema was handed over to Qingyun for management, and the protective cover and camera were installed.
Here, people saw the recruitment information sign at the door. Everyone basically knew that the benefits of the Qimiao series stores were good, and many people who met the requirements rushed here.
Wang Simeng picked out 20 men and women with clear eyes and smart looks from the crowd. For the rest of the day, the all-powerful shopkeeper Qingyun gave these 20 people some guidance.
The opening was scheduled for the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then the news was released that it was the first cinema in Qi Cang State. The general meaning of the cinema was briefly explained. The people were very surprised.
Because the news was released in advance, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wealthy people in Daqing City, another large city next to the capital, heard the news and some of them brought their families to Qingshan City to see the novelty.
The shop sign is hung up———Wonderful Cinema.
On one side of the first floor is a place selling popcorn, cola and juice. Essential for watching movies. Of course, all the food was bought directly by Wang Simeng from the small supermarket in the villa.
On the opening day, all children under 10 years old and over 55 years old and the elderly can watch the movie for free. If the whole family comes to watch the movie, they will be given a small gift box of Taolili mooncakes when they leave.
The gift box was packed in a red kraft paper shopping bag. The shopping bag was printed with a carved hollow cloud pattern and a few large gold-plated characters were written on it: Wonderful Shop Mid-Autumn Festival Special. It looked very high-end.
The day before the opening, Wang Simeng sent someone to deliver five invitations to her good friend Ling'er's family.
An hour before the opening, Wang Simeng woke up in a daze. It was already dawn, so he got up, washed, ate a hand-grabbed pancake, and changed his clothes. Wang Simeng asked the servant to drive the carriage to the cinema. The house Wang Simeng bought was usually only a cup of tea away from the cinema. But today the road was very crowded. The carriage had to stop and go for half an hour to travel the distance of a cup of tea.
Wang Simeng had the carriage driven to the back door and entered the cinema through the back door herself.
Wang Simeng signaled to the shopkeeper that the time had come and they could open the business.
The shopkeeper walked to the entrance of the cinema and said, "Hello everyone, the Qimiao Cinema is open today and we are offering great discounts. Guests who want to watch a movie please line up and follow our staff in. The staff will lead everyone to vote."
Wang Simeng chose to show four movies during the Mid-Autumn Festival: Havoc in Heaven, Mulan, Flirting Scholar, and A Chinese Odyssey. All the movies are about two hours long.
The price for the main hall is 100 wen, that for the middle hall is 300 wen, and the small hall is a home screening room, which is more expensive, costing three taels of silver.
After entering the hall, the movie will be played on time.
At first, everyone was very curious about the characters and scenery that changed back and forth on the screen, and the discussion continued.
Slowly, as the plot began, the discussion became quieter and finally disappeared. The only sounds in the room were people eating popcorn and the sound of the movie.
When the movie reached its most exciting part, there were cheers and applause, one louder than the other.
The movie lasted only an hour. When it ended, everyone looked as if they hadn't seen enough.
Under the guidance of the staff, the people of the first show left and the people of the second show came in. There were more than a dozen screening rooms showing different movies.
Wang Simeng reserved a private room for Magistrate Wang and his family. When the restaurant opened, all four members of Magistrate Wang's family came, except for his eldest son who was still in school.
Wang Simeng informed the staff at the door in advance that if someone with an invitation letter came to watch a movie, he should be notified immediately and the guest should be taken to his private home screening room at No. 6.
Wang Simeng sat in the No. 6 screening room and took out a lot of snacks from the small supermarket in the space. Popcorn, potato chips, shachima, AB calcium milk, cola, orange juice, peach juice, apple juice. Everything was ready.
I heard the staff at the door say that someone with an invitation had arrived. I quickly prepared to go out and take a look, and invited four people into the screening room.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, Ling'er, you are here. Come in quickly." Wang Simeng said to them with a smile.
"Sister Meng," Wang Linger said happily.
"Hello, Sister Meng~" A five-year-old little kid said with an embarrassed smile, showing two cute little canine teeth.
"This is my younger brother, Wang Muwen, nicknamed Xiaobao. Hehe, my older brother Wang Qingwen has classes at Qingshan Academy today, so he can't come with you." As he spoke, he presented the gifts prepared by the family of four.
"Xiaobao is so cute~Everyone come and sit down."
Everyone greeted each other and chatted on the sofa, and the movie was about to start.
The drama Wang Simeng chose for the four people was "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back in Heaven".
Two hours later, the movie ended and the lights on the screen went out.
Xiaobao clapped his hands excitedly. He changed from a shy little kid to a talkative little kid. He sat next to Wang Simeng and asked her all kinds of questions out of curiosity.
Wang Linger would also interject a few words from time to time.
Magistrate Wang and his wife also marveled at the magic of it all. The movie is wonderful.
After seeing the four people off, Wang Simeng returned to the house.
Even after the Qimi Cinema closed, the excitement of the people did not subside. People on the street were discussing the plot of the movie. Many children who had watched "Havoc in Heaven" were imitating the Monkey King, holding a small wooden stick in their hands and pretending to hit each other with the golden hoop.
Many teahouse and bookstore owners are planning to adapt these movies into picture books, hoping to make a fortune by riding on the popularity of the movies.
Those who make sugar figures even imitated the characters in the movies, and the sugar figures sold like hot cakes.
Many students even drew the characters in the movie one by one.
The costumes of the characters in the movie also became very popular. For a period of time afterwards, whenever you walked down the street, you would see the costumes from the movie everywhere. The most common costume was Sun Wukong. Nine out of ten children were Sun Wukong. Of course, this is all a story for later.
Those who didn’t buy movie tickets on the opening day directly called their servants to reserve seats at the entrance of the cinema overnight.
The mooncake gift boxes given away by the cinema during the Mid-Autumn Festival were also well received by the people. Some people even approached the shopkeeper privately and asked him to sell them some.
Wang Simeng has created one new popular element after another in Qingshan City.
In the following days, the Qimiao Cinema and Qimiao Hotel were back on track. Wang Simeng, who had nothing to do, was thinking about finding something to do.
"Ding! New system task. Open at least five new stores in Qingshan City. There is no time limit. Rewards for completing the task: 5 protective shields, 1 system-produced intelligent top chef character card, 5 system-produced intelligent primary shopkeeper cards, and the secret manual "Piaomiao Footwork". The system can be upgraded to the next level. Come on, host! By then, the fifth floor of the space villa will be open."
"Hmm... not bad, there is no time limit, I can do it again."
Qingshan City is divided into four districts: East, West, South, and North. The East and South districts are relatively wealthy, and are mostly where officials and wealthy businessmen live. The North district is mostly inhabited by people with decent family conditions. The West district is inhabited by poor people.
The comparison between the East and South districts and the West district is like heaven and earth.
After Wang Simeng learned about the situation, he planned to buy more shops in the West District. The price is cheap, and it will drive the development of the West District in the future. The people in the West District will also have a better life in the future.
Just do it when you think it through.
The next day, Wang Simeng took a horse-drawn carriage to the brokerage. He spent 20 taels to buy a whole street of shops. He asked the broker to mediate the sale of some shops that were unwilling to sell, and finally bought them.
Wang Simeng took Shuang'er and Cui'er for a walk around the street. After returning to the house, he entered the space and began to plan how to decorate the shops on the whole street. Using the time difference between the space and the outside world, he finally made a satisfactory plan and drawings.
Wang Simeng thought that Shuang'er and Cui'er were pretty good, so she thought about training them. She took out books on management and business from the space study room and planned to let the two of them study.
The space must produce high-quality works. The two were overjoyed when they received the book. They knew that this was the young lady's way of training them. Shuang'er and Cui'er were so excited that they shed tears and knelt down to Wang Simeng.
"Thank you, Miss. I...no, I...we will definitely study hard." The two of them were about to kneel down while crying.
Just as they were about to kneel down, Wang Simeng pulled them back. "Oh, I told you not to kneel down. Women in this world have it hard. I may not be able to help you for the time being, but you are my people, so I naturally want you to be well."
"Thank you, Miss. Shuang'er (Cui'er) swears to be loyal to you until death and will never betray you." The two wiped their tears with firm eyes.
"Okay, take the book and read it! Study hard. I don't need you to follow me for the time being." Wang Simeng smiled and shook his head.
"Yes." The two of them held the book, bowed deeply to Wang Simeng, and turned to leave.
The next day, Wang Simeng sent people to the city to recruit a group of renovation workers. He gave the drawings to Uncle De and asked him to arrange everything.
Wang Simeng chose three shops on the side, which were used as fried food shop, milk tea shop and dessert shop respectively.
