Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1392 This is a storytelling hall

Xiuning and Dongzi couldn't understand, and Liu Ya didn't have the heart to explain anything to them.Anyway, this kind of official matter, this so-called suffering of the people, probably even the people themselves are not aware of it.

The more people lack thought and self-awareness, the easier it is to be paralyzed by life.

Liu Ya is not a savior, nor is she an activist who promotes women's rights and radical ideas. It is enough for her to be herself.

Liu Ya simply focused her eyes on the pavements facing the street, and didn't care about state affairs or people's livelihood, but she could care about her purse.

It is also one of Liu Ya's goals to be able to open the store in the capital, or to open in important towns near the capital.

Not to mention, after shopping around, I found a small restaurant for Liu Ya. It's not big, but the inside is neat and clean.There are several small square tables around the wall, leaving a space in the center to form a small semi-circular table.

Just the design of the lobby made Liu Ya feel fresh, and couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.

Then, Liu Ya's gaze fell on the shopkeeper's counter, where a small wooden sign was hung on a red velvet rope.The wooden sign is of primary color, with the word "Ya" written in ink.

Liu Ya saw it, she elbowed Qiu Ying who was beside her, and pouted inward.

Qiu Ying smiled, and said in a low voice: "I knew it earlier. This restaurant opened two months ago, and Ma Liu also said hello to me, saying that he asked me to pick some smart people to work here."

"Then this is already..." Liu Ya said, a person ran out from inside, smiled when he saw Liu Ya, and said, "Second Sister, it's really you. It looks like you."

Liu Ya was also very surprised, looked at Qiuying, and asked: "The smart person you picked is Gazi?"

Liu Ya really didn't expect that the clerk in this shop turned out to be a scorpion brought out by her from Pingshan Village.He is also Xiao Shuer's best friend.

Back when the Liu family was the poorest in Pingshan Village, Gazi and Xiaoshuer hadn't seen each other.Later, the Liu family built a new house, and Gazi was busy running around.

Until Liu Xu'er was snatched away by the Wu family, Gazi was also one of the first few people to stand up.Therefore, Gazi and the Liu family, Xiao Shu'er, and even Liu Ya are all related by fate.

Qiu Ying shook her head and said with a smile: "Brother Ma Liu personally selected this, he is not one of my subordinates. My staff, I heard that he is working as a cook in the back."

After hearing this, Liu Ya breathed a sigh of relief.She brought Gazi and Wang Xiaodong out to cultivate them, not to let them be spies with Qiuying.

At the beginning, he was directly handed over to Ma Liu, not Qiu Ying.Therefore, Liu Ya was really afraid that Qiu Ying would drag the Gazi into the spy's path.

It's not that there is anything wrong with being a secret agent, but Liu Ya feels that Xiao Shu'er's friends should not be involved in any way with the dark side.This is also for the sake of the little tree.

Gazi also smiled and said, "I only met Sister Qiuying once. Brother Ma Liu said that I am here, and I need to take good care of her with the people she sent, and turn this on."

Liu Ya walked in with a smile, pointed to the semi-circular table in the middle, and asked, "Then what is this for? Dance?"

"Storyteller." After Gazi finished speaking, he walked up to the one-foot-high platform, put the white cloth in his hand on his arm, and made a show.

But when he opened his mouth, he laughed.Then he jumped down shaking his head and said, "No, no, I can't learn from the old man who told the story. However, the books here are not ordinary books, and people outside can't hear them. Second sister, guess what? what book?"

Liu Ya shook her head and said, "How do I know what the storyteller is talking about here? You can't learn a paragraph."

Gazi smiled and said: "This is Ma Liuge's idea. He said that we only talk about our own books. It is the few books you asked Mr. Jiang to write. We specially found a famous storyteller to give lectures here. Every day at noon One in the afternoon and one in the evening; the three books are told in turn, and one section is told every day. If you want to listen to the whole book, you have to come tomorrow. You can’t just sit when you come, can you? You can drink tea for free, and you don’t need money for melon seeds , but this guy is worth the money. Now, when it’s time to start speaking, it’s hard to get a ticket here.”

Liu Ya felt fresh after hearing this, and counted the circle of tables and chairs around the wall.

There are two Eight Immortals tables on the left and right, a total of four Eight Immortals tables can accommodate 32 guests; there are two square tables in the center, and each square table can seat four guests.

All in all, if the lobby is full, there will be forty guests.Melon seeds and tea are free?What kind of money did you earn?

Gazi continued: "As for the guests who came, the seats were all bought with money. See if there is no one now, it is not time to start the lecture. When the time is up, the guests who paid for the seats should arrive. Every day The one-time package is for one month. If you want to sit here and listen next month, then everyone has to bid together. The one with the higher price will be the main seat, and the one with the lower price will be the second seat. The price is different depending on the location. But from the first At the beginning of the month, the ticket price is the lowest, and every month after that, it will go up."

Then, Gazi came to the two square tables in the middle, pointed to the two main seats and said, "Second sister, look, these two are the highest priced ones in our store. The asking price last month was 12 taels of silver." One month, the end of the month is at the end of this month, and when the price is called again, it is estimated that it can be called 15 taels. Probably, in the month when the book is finished, the price will be lower when the lecture is resumed, and the price will be lower when the customer listens to it. Once you go in, if you don’t listen to a section every day and feel itchy in your heart, the price will go up again.”

Liu Ya laughed after hearing this, and said: "I really didn't expect that Ma Liu's brains are so smart. In this kind of bustling town, the most important thing is to spend money. The only difference is that there are no fresh places. Let them go to spend. When they are tired of gambling and whoring, listening to books and drinking tea are the real pastimes."

Gazi clapped his hands and said, "Second Sister is right, and Brother Ma Liu also said the same thing. He also said that such a restaurant can only be opened in a bustling place like the capital. If it is a small town, it is a must. No way."

Liu Ya walked around the hall and asked, "Then when you don't teach books, are you always so deserted?"

Gazi shook his head and said, "That's not true. The time for lectures is only a quarter of an hour, and guests can usually come to eat. However, there is no wine in our house, only tea. And the dishes are all meals, and there are no fancy dishes. .”

Liu Ya listened, smiled slightly, and said, "This is really a good idea. Who thought of this?"
