How did a good exile turn into a runaway?

Chapter 29 Start a small business for fun

Shen Qiuge is really bored with these. He doesn't know how many stories he has in his head. He just adds, subtracts, subtracts and changes at will, and it can become a story that this dynasty can listen to.

It’s boring anyway, so it seems quite interesting to let the storyteller tell the story you wrote.
"Young master, shopkeeper Ma is here."

Li Qilang moved quickly, and the two of them went upstairs in no time.

"I have met Master Shen. I have been hearing from the master behind me that I have met a noble person these days. It is true that I met you today. I am the shopkeeper of this teahouse. My surname is Ma. Everyone calls me Shopkeeper Ma."

"Master Ma, please take a seat. I'll ask someone to call you up. It's really a small matter. I hope I won't disturb you."

"How can you call me a disturbance when you invite me? You must not do it. If you have something to think of, I will be overjoyed. If you don't know what to do, just say so. I will definitely do whatever I can do."

Shopkeeper Ma is a round man, a bit like the Ling Tangyuan she saw on TV before. If he didn't have those two mustaches, his smile would look more like Maitreya Buddha.

"It's like this. I came to your place to listen to books a few days this year to kill some boring time. It was good at first, but in the past two days, I have become more and more aware that these contents are too boring and repetitive, making people feel empty.

what do you think about this?If possible, I can often provide some short stories for the storyteller to tell, to add a little fun. "

As Shen Qiuge spoke, she pushed forward a booklet on the table. This was the book she took out just now. She had just written it with her mental power in space. It was only a short paragraph, so it was very quick.
Shopkeeper Ma was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the young master was talking about this matter with him. But if it was true, it would be better and would be very helpful to his teahouse business.

He picked it up with a smile, flipping through it with polite greetings, but after saying only a few words, his eyes were bright, and he read page after page until finally it was gone.

"Whoever wrote this story is great! The paragraph you wrote earlier is called an introduction, and it is also very wonderful. It makes people want to continue exploring and want to know the last thing. It is wonderful, wonderful!"

Shopkeeper Ma's Coke was broken. Although he had only read a few pages, he could already imagine the time when the house would be full of guests. This would happen every time there was a Newspaper Tea House business, but after a while, he fell behind.
After running a teahouse for so many years, he is used to it, but he has not forgotten what Master Shen just said, and he often provides,

As expected of a businessman, Shopkeeper Ma was extremely happy, with the same polite smile on his face just now.

"I don't know what Master Shen is planning. Let me tell you everything so that I can know a thing or two, and then the rest of the conversation can continue."

"I have a lot of different stories here. They are just for killing boring time. I will get [-]% of the profit from each short story."

"Refreshing! Master Shen is very generous. I will draw up the contract right away. Please wait a moment, Master Shen. I will be here right away."

Shopkeeper Ma ran downstairs happily. Shen Qiuge waved his hand indifferently.

"Master, will this be a big disadvantage for you?"

Li Qilang felt a little unhappy, the young master must be too generous!Is [-]% of the profit too much of a loss?

"Whether it's a loss or not, it's almost the same. Thirty percent of the net profit is quite a lot. After all, I just give him the story and don't have to worry about anything else."

Li Qilang nodded as if he understood and stood aside without saying a word. Unfortunately, the baby refused and kept turning towards him, insisting on playing with him. "You take the baby to play for a while! Just don't run around here, and don't take the baby out. There are small toys in the secret compartment under the baby chair that you can take out for him to play with."

"Yes, Master!"

He still has some experience in taking care of children. After all, he was the one who took care of his sister when she was a few years old. Compared with others, he does have more experience.
After a while, the sound of "dong dong dong" coming up the stairs was heard. Listening to the sound, you knew that the tonnage was full.
"Sorry! I kept Master Shen waiting for so long. Take a look, this is the contract I just wrote. Is there anything that needs to be corrected?"

There was another person following behind Shopkeeper Ma, who brought a tray with a stack of paper and pen and ink inside.
The man obediently put the tray on the table and backed away, right?The shopkeeper stood happily waiting for Shen Qiuge to check.
"Yes, Not Bad!"

After Shen Qiuge read it, he found that there was nothing wrong with the paper or the ink. As for the contract, there was even less problem.
He wrote his name with a pen, took out his seal from his sleeve pocket and stamped it.

"Tomorrow I will ask Xiao Qi to send you a story. From now on, there will be a new story every two months. Each story is divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. I will not care about other things. If you have any questions about the story, please come directly to me. I can."

"Yes! Yes! Then I will wait tomorrow, but I want to be a little person and remind you that sensitive things are not allowed. The temple boy can't help it."

"Don't worry! I know this better than you. Okay, you can go about your business."

As soon as Shen Qiuge finished the matter, he immediately killed the donkey and chased the people away.

"Then I won't disturb Master Shen. I just happened to go to see if there are any new pastries in the kitchen? Bring them over for you to try."

After Shopkeeper Ma finished speaking, he went downstairs, and soon a waiter came up with two plates of snacks. They were indeed freshly cooked and still steaming!
"This is honey crispy laurel made with newly brewed sweet-scented osmanthus. This is lotus crispy. Please taste it, Master Shen! The shopkeeper said he wants the young master to give more opinions."

The waiter put down the snacks with a warm smile on his face and said politely,

Shen Qiuge waved his hand without saying a word and let him go down. He really regarded himself as free labor!
The layers of lotus cakes are very realistic and make people very appetizing just looking at them.
"Flower, flower~."

The baby has seen it since he was little two, and he is even more happy when he sees the lotus cake on the table, because he knows that as long as it is served on a plate, it is delicious.
He kept pointing with his fingers excitedly, while his other hand was still tugging at Li Qilang's sleeve.

"You take one to the baby and let him eat it by himself."

Shen Qiuge said to Li Qilang, while he looked out the window. This street was the main street, with a wide and flat road. Opposite was a restaurant, which was also full of people and very lively at the moment.

People are coming and going on the street, and there is an endless stream of vendors and goons. From time to time, you can hear the voices of them selling various goods, and there are also people bargaining.
On the downstairs opposite, there were people coming and going to say hello to each other. Did a carriage stop, and then some richly dressed young men got out of the carriage? Master, and then went to the upstairs opposite door to dine.

In comparison, the tea house here is much deserted. Anyway, no matter how many people are downstairs, her table is the only one working on the railing upstairs.
Just as Shen Qiuge was happily watching the lively scene on the street downstairs, two guests came up from downstairs.

"Brother Zhou survived the catastrophe this time and will be blessed later. Come on, come on. I will rest with you for a while. After the house is tidied up, I will accompany you back."

"I almost died in the flood this time. I am lucky to be able to see Brother Liu today. I will arrange it for you."
