Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 11 Reopening
Earlier, Meng Shi and Li Dutou agreed that Su Wen would speak on stage three days later.

Why is it three days? Could it be that there are so many storytellers in Meng Shi's bookstore, it must take three days to get to Suwen?
Naturally not.

It is a customary rule that the bookstore opens once every three days.

Storytellers are not the kind of people who rely on handicrafts to make a living. Can you make pancakes every day, steam buns every day, and talk about books every day?

What the storyteller sells is a voice. In the bookstore, every word must be clearly and crisply sent to the audience's ears. The thunder and rain outside the window can't be suppressed. In this way, the physical burden can be imagined. Know.

In addition to the voice, you also need to use your brain, rote memorization is not enough, you must know how to adapt to the situation, you must also grasp the psychology of the audience, control the storytelling scene, and if you accidentally say something wrong, you must immediately reverse it to avoid being bombarded off stage.

Every time a story is told, the storyteller has to bear the double burden of body and spirit. Who can say it every day, and who dares to say it every day?

Even if someone has this ability, it is impossible for ordinary people to listen to it every day. People still have to make a living. How can they sit in the bookstore all day and listen to your nonsense?

Even if you have that kind of heart, you don’t have that kind of money in your pocket!
Therefore, the bookstore does not open every day, and it usually opens every three days or every six days. Today's event coincides with the fair day.

The fair day is a saying in the southern market, and going to the fair on the fair day is equivalent to going to the big market.

There is one fair every six days in Anping County, and every fair is extremely lively. People from ten miles and eight towns will come to buy and sell various items.

Su Wen made preparations early in the morning, and went out to Goulan early in the morning.

Perhaps Meng Shi's warning had an effect, Li Dutou's prestige suppressed Hu San, and those hooligans didn't come over today to disgust Su Wen.

Arriving at Goulan unimpeded all the way, I found that the street has become a market, full of traffic, very lively.

"Cooking cakes, hot cooking cakes!"

"Crisp pears, fresh crisp pears!"

"Buns, big meaty buns just out of the oven!"

"Put on my ancestral plaster, and it will make your headache and brain fever disappear in a day, no pain, no disease, no trouble!"

"..."

Su Wen bought two meat buns for breakfast, and walked towards the bookstore while eating.

Today he has to stay in the bookstore all day, and it is obviously not enough to pad his belly with two buns.

However, he has officially "joined the job", and the bookstore will provide him with a meal every day, so there is no need to worry about starving.

I forgot to mention that although the bookstore mainly focuses on storytelling, it also operates food, not to mention all kinds of snacks, even hard dishes. As long as the money is in place, it can be served for you. Go to the big restaurant to pack for you, do the best service, and let you have a comfortable and happy time.

As an internal employee, Su Wen didn't have a big table with hard dishes, but there was no problem with having a full meal at noon.

"Mr. Su!"

"It's so early!"

"Are you going to continue talking about Wu Song today?"

"The story of this tiger-fighting hero is really addictive!"

When Su Wen walked into the bookstore, everyone greeted him one after another, except for other storytellers and clerks, there were also many guests who arrived early, apparently aimed at him.

Su Wen bowed his hands one by one to return the salute, and then said to the early visitors: "That's right, let's talk about Wu Song today."

"Oh?"

"Then it must be finished this time!"

"That is, in the past three days, I have been unable to eat and sleep, and I have been unable to sleep at night. It seems that someone is scratching my heart, and I am looking forward to your lecture, sir."

"What are you talking about today, can you reveal a few words?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone was joking, and there was harmony.

"Ask brother!"

Meng Shi also arrived at this time, smiled and recruited Su Wen into the backstage, and said, "You have a heavy burden today!"

Su Wen frowned, and asked, "What does the shopkeeper mean...?"

Meng Shi didn't hold back, and said directly: "Are you prepared for the two big fights?"

"Two fields?"

Su Wen looked surprised.

There are big and small venues in the bookstore, the big one lasts an hour, and the small one lasts half an hour. Three days ago, Su Wen went to the small one.

The time of the big show is more than that of the small show, and the audience and income are also more than the small show. If there is a choice, the storyteller will definitely want to talk about the big show, and Su Wen is no exception.

But Su Wen has no choice yet. He has just entered the industry, and his qualifications are shallow, and Quyi is the most particular about ranking seniority. Master Mo Yunsheng's class has a big round every nine days.

But unexpectedly, today Meng Shi asked him to directly talk about the big field, and there are still two big fields.

Although this was a good thing for Su Wen, he didn't immediately agree, but instead asked, "The quota for these two games..."

"One is Mo Lao's. He has said so much to me, and he has worked hard. Now that your disciple inherits the mantle, it is reasonable to occupy a large field. No one can say anything, so don't worry."

Meng Shi knew what Su Wen was thinking, and immediately explained: "The other one was originally mine, but I have something to do at home and I have to leave later, so I want to give it to you, I don't know what you want, if it doesn't work, I will change it others."

"Um……"

Su Wen pondered for a while, then cupped his hands: "Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper!"

"You're welcome."

Shopkeeper Meng waved his hand, and asked again: "There are two big venues, two hours in total, are you confident?"

Su Wen smiled: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, Su Wen will definitely live up to the trust!"

"I can rest assured that."

Meng Shi nodded, and then jokingly said: "You get ready first, I'll write the book on the poster, the third scene and the fourth scene will be you, I don't know what Mr. Su said today, what is the topic?"

After finishing speaking, he spread out a piece of red paper, corresponding to the previous calligraphy, and prepared to write a new calligraphy.

Shuzhao Shuzhao is the signboard of the bookstore, on which are written the names of all the storytellers in the bookstore, when they will start speaking today, what kind of repertoire they are talking about, and a few opening poems for introduction.

When people come to read a book, they read the book first, and only then pay for a ticket and enter the venue to listen to the book if they have a favorite song.

The ticket price is the same as the reward money, which is divided into [-] and [-] after [-]% is stripped, half of the bookstore and half of the storyteller, which is the main source of income for the storyteller.

As for the rewards from the audience...it's not very stable, only the famous masters receive more, and the other storytellers still rely on the share of the ticket money.

Therefore, selling tickets is very important, and book moves are the most important thing in selling tickets, let alone be careless. Just like the poems for setting the stage, it is necessary to make a concise introduction, attract people's attention, and make people curious and enter the venue willingly. listen to books.

Meng Shi picked up his pen and looked at Su Wen, waiting for him to decide on the topic of today's talk.

Su Wen was confident, without thinking:

The king's wife is corrupt and bribes to talk about style, and the silver woman poisons Wu Dalang with medicine.

Wu Song was furious, and the adulterer's blood splashed on the Lion House.

The title is——Wu Song Reports Brother, Erlang Zhus Sister-in-law!
