Chapter 614 - 614 Praise

614 Praise
Ye Xuan sat down at the dining table. He was the youngest anyway, so there was no reason for him to work.

As soon as he sat down, his sisters also took out the things. No one said anything about Ye Xuan. They gave him a small bowl, chopsticks, and a spoon. Then, they poured him a drink. It was simply too comfortable.

Then, he didn’t hold back. He picked up a piece of explosive tofu with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth to taste it. This tofu was very tender, as if it had been fried. However, it didn’t age on the outside, and the inside was even more succulent. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. The more he ate, the more he had an appetite. It was especially delicious.

After tasting the first piece, Ye Xuan couldn’t stop. He stuffed it into his mouth one mouthful after another and kept praising it.

“Not bad, not bad. This explosive tofu is really delicious. Fourth Sister’s culinary skills are really getting better and better.”

Upon hearing the praise, Fourth Sister Ye Chan was quite happy. She picked up two pieces of explosive tofu and placed them in her bowl. She looked at her sisters and smiled.

“What are you waiting for? Try it quickly. Our Little Brother already said that it’s delicious. Try it too.”

The sisters looked at one another and smiled. Then, each of them picked up a piece of explosive tofu with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths to taste it. Whether they should say it or not, this taste really satisfied their sisters.

All of them revealed shocked expressions and gave their sister, Ye Chan, a thumbs up in admiration.

Then, they imitated Ye Xuan and ate mouthful after mouthful. In a short while, they finished a large plate of explosive tofu.

Then, they began to eat the other dishes. Fourth Sister Ye Chan’s culinary skills improved day by day after learning for so long. This was all thanks to her willingness to learn and seriousness.

After all, one could only grow if they seriously thought about their mistakes and corrected them. If they did the opposite, they would not grow.

The meal was neither long nor short. After a while, they all burped. They had almost finished all the dishes on the table. There was not much left.

Then, they sat on the sofa to rest for a while and digested their meal. After a while, they got up and returned to her room to change their clothes. After dressing up, they brought Ye Xuan out and got into the car towards the Pear Garden.

The sky had already darkened and the lights were overflowing. The high-rise buildings in the air were all lit up with gorgeous lights. When put together, they formed a good-looking painting.

The night wind caressed their bodies, making them feel extremely comfortable. Although it was a little cold, their hearts were hot after eating.

After driving for a while, the car arrived outside the Pear Garden.

At this moment, the Pear Garden was brightly lit. Shouts and opera voices rose and fell. It was very interesting.
This Pear Garden was very retro. To be precise, it had not been renovated much. It had only been repaired on the outside and looked more modern. The inside had not been touched much. There was a uniform mud wall, a wooden stage, and other buildings.

This opera house was very old. If one wanted to trace it back, it had to be from the previous dynasty. It was hundreds of years old and was a classic old name. Many famous celebrities had performed inside, and there were many pieces by veteran artists. There were even national treasures.

Therefore, this Pear Garden had been famous for a long time and was liked by the locals of Jinling. Even people from other places often came here to watch the show and listen to music, especially the rich.

At this moment, after Big Sister Ye Wan parked the car, she brought her sisters out of the car. She stood in front of the car and looked up at the opera house. The building outside the opera house was very modern. There was a door. Behind the door was the counter, where guests bought tickets. Then, there was a sofa to rest and wait for people. It was no different from other places.

Such a garden basically required one to buy tickets to enter. After entering, they would pay for the expenses inside separately, such as tea, snacks, and so on.

The tickets only gave people the right to enter, which was similar to an amusement park.

After taking a few glances, the sisters brought Ye Xuan into the Pear Garden. After entering, they turned around and went to the counter.

“The seven of us will buy seven tickets.”

The beautiful attendant at the counter checked the number of people and saw Ye Xuan. She smiled and spoke to Big Sister Ye Wan.

“You don’t need to buy a ticket for this little friend. You can buy six tickets. I’ll help you register for them.”

“It’s fine. We’ll buy seven tickets.”

Big Sister Ye Wan insisted on her own words. After all, this was not the time to be greedy for cheap tickets. Without tickets, there would be no seats. If they took a seat for free, what would others say when they went in?

It was like buying a ticket for a high-speed train. They would buy a ticket for their little brother. When the time came, they had to be confident. They could not be careless about these things. In any case, a ticket was not expensive.

Seeing that Big Sister Ye Wan was so insistent, the beautiful attendant didn’t say anything else. She smiled and pointed at the QR scanner.

“Alright, you can scan your QR code here.”

Big Sister took out her phone and opened her payment code. She scanned her code at the machine and saw that the price was more than 700 yuan. One ticket was over 100 yuan, so it was not very expensive.

Then, she took the seven tickets from the beautiful attendant and happily held Ye Xuan’s hand as they walked in.

After walking along the aisle for a while, they arrived at the ticket inspection area. Big Sister Ye Wan handed over seven tickets and pointed at her sisters.

“Seven people.”

The ticket inspector looked at the number of people and checked the number of tickets. When he saw Ye Xuan, he was stunned. He didn’t expect such a young child to have his ticket bought. This was rare in the Pear Garden. At that moment, he respected Big Sister Ye Wan even more and his eyes lit up.

Then, he nodded and opened the door, letting the group of beautiful girls and a little boy in.

After entering the door, they were greeted by a noticeboard with the locations of various places. The Pear Garden was not just a place for opera. The Pear Garden was a gathering place for all kinds of performances that were the essence of Chinese culture and side shows. There were operas, shadow plays, face-changing performances, crosstalk, storytelling, double act, skits, acrobatics, and so on. It was all-encompassing. The Pear Garden was even divided into two large areas. One area was classical, and the retro style had not been changed. The other area was modern. Classical and modern cultures clashed, such as popular songs, storytelling, novels, and so on.

This was also in line with the times and perfectly fitted the gap between the times. After all, many young people could not watch opera at all. They could not appreciate it, let alone like it.

If this continued, it would die down sooner or later. Therefore, adding popular songs to operas was indeed the best way to see culture like opera being derived. Of course, this could not deny the original national essence. It could only be said to be a reproduction.
