Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 169 Good News (Part [-])

"Hey, it's nothing to come here every day. Although the price is a bit expensive, it's still in my mouth anyway. It's not a loss. That's right, I see how there are as many people today as yesterday? I thought the original price was restored. There can be fewer people today."

"Who says it's not? It would be great if this teahouse could be bigger. It also saves me from queuing up here every day in the cold wind. Listening to a book, is it easy for us? If you want to spend money, you can't spend it, tell me." , this is really..."

Listening to these conversations, Zhong Yanqing smiled, saw that Si'er was the third in line, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, replaced him, and stood in the line by himself.

His time was just right, and just as he stood still, the door of the teahouse opened. Zhong Yanqing followed the people in front of him and filed in. He went directly to the VIP seats, found his usual seat and sat down.

"One plate of dried tofu, two tea eggs, one plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and a cup of good Xishan tea." He ordered things in a familiar way, and then roasted them on the fire, waiting for Xiao Er to deliver them.

You know, he is used to not having breakfast at home now, but only having some snacks, and he will have another meal when the teahouse opens.The tea eggs and dried tofu here are very suitable for his taste, and it is best to go with the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Eating delicious snacks, roasting by the fire, and listening to storytelling, this day couldn't be happier.

Knowing that Boyue Teahouse is hard to find, all the tea drinkers came to queue in front of the teahouse in advance, so it only took a while to enter, and they all sat down to eat and drink.After everyone had eaten for a while, Zhong Yanqing knew that the old man Qian Dongbao was going to speak on stage.

He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his mouth, took another sip of hot tea, sat upright, and waited for Qian Dongbao to come up.

When the curtain in the backstage was lifted, it wasn't Qian Dongbao who came out, but shopkeeper Zhuang.

"Guest officers, thank you for your great love for this teahouse. Even if the original price is restored today, everyone still comes to join us. On behalf of the owner of our teahouse, thank you for your patronage." Zhuang Yue bowed to the audience.

During this period of time, the teahouses, especially the guests in the VIP seats, have become acquainted with Zhuang Yue.There was a lively one who shouted towards the stage: "Okay, we have received your thanks. Go, go down, stop talking nonsense, let Mr. Qian come up quickly, and let him talk quickly."

"That's right, hurry up and tell the story." Everyone laughed and urged in agreement.

Zhuang Yue stays here every day, how could he not know these people's obsession with storytelling?But today he has to be annoying.

Seeing Lu Xiaobei playing tricks with Qian Youcai every day, he couldn't help but laugh at him with his childlike innocence: "Oh, forget it, I had some good news to tell everyone, but everyone thought I was an eyesore. I'd better go down, everyone should line up at the door every day to blow the cold wind." Said, pretending to be angry, turned around and wanted to leave.

When everyone heard the last sentence, they couldn't sit still, and hurriedly called him to stop: "Hey, shopkeeper Zhuang, don't go, tell me quickly, what's the good news?"

"Don't you think I'm an eyesore?"

"It's not an eyesore. We think you are very pleasing to the eyes. Shopkeeper Zhuang, you are getting more and more handsome. Tell me quickly, what good news?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw the playboy on and off the stage, but their eyes were fixed on Zhuang Yue, wanting to know what the good news was.Listening to that voice, it seems that there is no need to queue up in the future.Could it be that the owner of this teahouse is going to open another teahouse?

Having whetted everyone's appetite, Zhuang Yue said: "The good news is that our boss is sympathetic to everyone and has opened two more teahouses. One is in the west of the city, and the other is not far from here. The two new teahouses will re-open "" "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will also add a new storybook called "The Eight Parts of the Dragon."

"Great, I'm late, I didn't listen to the previous episodes, this time I have to start listening to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" from the beginning."

"Is there a new storybook? Who wrote it? Is it as good as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

Zhuang Yue was not in a hurry to speak, let everyone discuss below for a while, digested the news, and then continued: ""The Eight Parts of the Dragon" was written by the talented man who wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The level of excitement is not inferior to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Two teahouses said that the time of "Tian Long Ba Bu" will be staggered with that of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so you don't have to worry that you will not be able to catch up with the other after listening to this."

"Great, great. When I don't have any books to listen to, I always feel like I have nothing to do. This time it's all right, and I have new books to listen to."

Everyone chatted excitedly.

Someone asked again: "Where is the teahouse exactly? When is the time for storytelling?"

"The information, after you finish listening to the book, you can see it on the big red paper at the entrance of the teahouse." After Zhuang Yue finished speaking, he cupped his hands, turned and stepped off the stage.

Qian Dongbao didn't come on stage immediately either, until everyone finished discussing the matter and shouted his name repeatedly on the stage, then Shi Shiran came on stage.

These days, he has been very prosperous, and wherever he goes, people call him "Mr. Qian", and the daily rewards on the stage make his family's life much more generous, not to mention the rewards of Qian Youcai.

Zhuang Yue saw Qian Dongbao started to talk about books, and he confessed to the new shopkeeper, then quietly went out through the back door, and took a carriage to the new teahouse in the west of the city.

Originally, Du Jinning planned to open only one branch, but he got 160 taels of silver from Liang Xiankuan, and got a gossip from Lu Xiaobei, saying that someone also planned to open a teahouse, imitating them to play double reeds, and called them Someone imitated the plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and wrote a similar storybook.

Although Du Jinning is very confident in Mr. Jin Yong's novels, those tea lovers will definitely not be able to take them away.But there is a copycat competitor competing there, after all, it is troublesome and disgusting, isn't it?Du Jinning, together with Qi Muyuan, Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen, simply bought the two restaurants that Qi Muyuan inquired about, and directly converted them into teahouses, intending to control all the tea drinkers in Lishui County who love to listen to books into their own hands, so as to prevent competition The emergence of opponents.

And Zhuang Yue was recommended by Du Jinning as the big shopkeeper because of his steady personality and strong ability.He is in charge of three new second shopkeepers.Among the three shopkeepers, Qi Muyuan found one, Guan Jiaze found one, and the other was recommended by Lu Xiaobei.That kid Lu Xiaobei was hanging around in the city, he knew all kinds of teachings, even the shopkeeper knew a thing or two.Coincidentally, he learned that the shopkeeper of a winery he knew was fired, so he recommended it to Du Jinning.

Such a bowl of water is level, and the Guan family occupies two of the four shopkeepers. The big shopkeeper is Zhuang Yue, and the second one is all selected from the children of poor families in the city. Guan Jiaze didn't give birth to anything because of this. Unpleasant thoughts come.
