Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 204 Storyteller ([-])

Now that Liu Man'er has bought a yard in the county town, she can be regarded as a well-established person. It is not difficult to ask someone to buy a suitable place to open a teahouse.

Just do what she wants, Liu Man'er asked Han Shixin to go to Zhou Hongyi, the broker she had called before, and ask him to help her find out.

Zhou Hongyi has always been honest and honest, and he is very popular in this county. Many people who know him like to look for him whether they are buying or selling, so he always holds a lot of resources in his hands.

As soon as Liu Man'er said that she wanted to rent a shop, Zhou Hongyi immediately flipped through a small notebook she carried with her and started to read it. After a while, she said that there were two shops for rent and she wanted to take her to have a look.

Liu Man'er thought about it, and took Han Shixin to watch it with him.

The distance between the two shops is quite close, and the structure is similar. They both have a small courtyard. Liu Man'er is not picky, and they both think it is quite good. Xiaoer lives here.

Asked Han Shixin's opinion, he also nodded slightly, so Liu Man'er just asked about the rent.

A shop is slightly more expensive, renting ten taels a year, and renting a shop is eight taels a year. Although the difference is not big, Liu Man'er is a frugal master now, so of course she rents eight taels. The rented shop.

Although this shop is a little bit remote compared to the other one, this slightly remote one is just in line with Liu Man'er's wishes. After all, it is a storyteller. Be quiet.

Seeing that Liu Man'er agreed, Zhou Hongyi made an appointment with Liu Man'er and called the host. The two signed a one-year contract, paid the money, and gave Zhou Hongyi another tael of silver as a middleman's fee. The matter was finalized down.

"Uncle Han, I will leave the rest of the matter to you." Back home, Liu Man'er discussed with Han Shixin about the newly opened teahouse, and said:

"I have a big belly and it's inconvenient to do things. You can help with the decoration these few days. In addition to the ordinary table and benches, make two more elegant seats near the desk, and put some benches on the outside. , you can help recruit two smart guys, and invite a good storyteller."

"Yes." Han Shixin nodded. He already had experience as a shopkeeper, so he was not afraid.

"By the way, you can ask someone to make a plaque for me. Our teahouse is called 'Storyteller'." Liu Man'er said to Han Shixin.

"Well, no problem, I'll do it right away." Han Shixin said as he cupped his hands at Liu Man'er, and walked outside.

Liu Man'er had already thought up the regulations for opening the teahouse, and planned to discuss it with him in detail after Han Shixin finished decorating the shop.

The shop that Liu Man'er rented was originally a small noodle shop, and there were some tables and stools. The main purpose of the Korean style is to build a high platform, add two elegant seats, and then arrange it. It doesn't take much time.

As for adding new assistants, these are not a problem. Jobs are hard to find in this era. Even if you want to recruit two assistants, there are many people who come to apply for the job.

But these are new things in the Korean style. He has been a manager and a shopkeeper, and his vision is not worse than Liu Man'er's. I believe he can find the right person.

But even so, Liu Man'er was always a little worried, but it was because she really didn't have so much free time to take care of it, so she let Han Shixin do it, but she kept telling herself in her heart, learn to employ people, trust Uncle Han, don't Exhausted myself like Zhuge Liang.

Thinking in this way, her heart gradually became calm. It was only after all the decorations of the Korean-style building were completed that Liu Maner went to see it once. The decoration was similar to what she had imagined. Liu Man'er was very satisfied.

What is missing now is a storyteller. It’s not that it’s hard to find a storyteller, it’s just that some famous ones don’t want to come to this small teahouse, and those who are not famous, this Korean-style novel is also somewhat disliked.

Liu Man'er said to Han Shixin: "Storytelling mainly reads the script, as well as human voices and emotions. It really has nothing to do with fame. As long as there is a chance, the unfamous will become famous."

He said again: "You know the situation of our family. I plan to open this teahouse and send you to the county town. We will open another one at that time, and we have to continue to open the restaurant. At that time, you will have no skills at all." .So you have to train some people for me now. You can promote the guy in the store if you think he is suitable. You can post a notice to hire a storyteller later, and I will personally apply for it tomorrow."

"Yes." Han Shixin nodded when he heard Liu Maner say that.

Liu Man'er then said: "Then I'll leave first, the teahouse business depends on you, with you here, I don't worry."

"I'll do my best." Hearing Liu Man'er say this, Han Shixin suddenly felt a little courage on his shoulders.

The next day, he found a lot of storytellers. Liu Man'er took half of the first volume of her storybook and asked them to tell a paragraph. The words are correct, whether there is emotion, and whether it can move people.

"Leave the first one and the fifth one." Liu Man'er said to the storytellers.

The two people who were selected were delighted, and those who were not selected were disappointed, but they didn't feel anything. Anyway, there are many teahouses like this, and this one is just a small teahouse, so it's not worth their disappointment.

Even those who were not selected snorted coldly, complaining that Liu Man'er did not recognize gold and jade, Liu Man'er was also a little helpless.

It was a coincidence that the two people left behind were tall and thin, and the other was short and fat. Liu Man'er couldn't help smiling when she saw them standing there, and then asked seriously, "What's your name?"

"I'm Li Yongwen." The tall and thin man bowed his hands to Liu Man'er and the two of them. He had a goatee and wore a long veil. He looked quite energetic. Although he was thin, the words he said were like golden stones and jade strikes ,Touching.

"Feng Yongkang." The short and fat man also said to Liu Man'er and the two of them. This man was a head thinner than this tall and thin man. He had a small beard on his chin and a melon cap. Slick, but the voice is very gentle and soft, and the story is very touching and intoxicating.

Liu Man'er has added a lot of love stories in "Journey to the West", which is more suitable for Feng Yongkang. Of course, she doesn't want to miss this tall and thin man, because their voices really make her like it.

"The two are destined, and there is a word "Yong" in their names." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

After hearing Liu Man'er's words, the two looked at each other, snorted coldly, and looked arrogant, but they didn't agree with each other, and they didn't say hello.

Liu Man'er felt that there was something strange between the two of them, although they were enemies in the same industry, but if they were ordinary storytellers, they wouldn't be so ruthless in person, Liu Man'er guessed that they might have some relationship, so she asked: "Could it be that you two know each other? "

"I don't know him!" Unexpectedly, the two of them denied it in unison. Then, they looked at each other again and said in unison: "Who would know him!"

"You must know each other. Seeing that you have such a tacit understanding even when you speak, maybe you are Huanxi friends." Liu Man'er saw this short, one tall, one fat and one thin two people bickering, and it was really interesting, and it was also a joke. said a word.

"A colleague is an enemy, who will know him. I think one storyteller is enough for your small teahouse. I think you should choose me." The short and fat storyteller recommended himself: "You should have heard the storyteller I just said. , Much better than what he said!"

"Obviously I'm the one who said it better than you." The tall and thin storyteller didn't admit defeat either.

"Nonsense!" the short and fat storyteller turned around and cursed.

The tall and thin storyteller didn't admit defeat either, seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Liu Man'er stopped them, "Okay, gentlemen, are you here to tell stories in my teahouse, or to bicker?"

The two stopped talking, and Liu Man'er said: "Mr. Feng and Mr. Li, I like you both very much, so let's stay. One will talk about the morning show and the other will talk about the afternoon show. It's just right."

"That's a good idea." Feng Yongkang nodded and said, "Let's talk about the morning session."

"Okay, here is the storybook, let me show you." Liu Man'er said and handed the book in her hand to Feng Yongkang. Feng Yongkang read a few pages and couldn't help being deeply addicted to it until he turned to the last page. He was still a little unsatisfied, and said, "Where did you get the script?"

"I wrote it myself." Liu Man'er had something on her mind, and she didn't want to talk to him, so she just said to Li Yongwen: "Mr. Li, you are resting here for a few days, and I will write you a book that suits you in a few days. "

"Yes." Li Yongwen bowed towards Liu Man'er, and said again: "Can I read this script now?"

"No problem." Liu Man'er nodded, Li Yongwen stretched out his hand to Feng Yongkang, Feng Yongkang handed it to him reluctantly, and warned: "Hold your dry claws carefully, don't get them dirty."

"Don't worry, it's not as dirty as your pig's trotters." The two started arguing again as they spoke.

Liu Man'er really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to recruit the two of them, but the two of them were really good storytellers.

"Uncle Han, tell the two of them some remuneration, and arrange accommodation for them if they need accommodation." Liu Man'er said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first."

"Boss, be careful on the road." Han Shixin stretched out his hand to help Liu Man'er up, and Feng Kang and the two discovered that Liu Man'er was actually a pregnant woman.

Liu Man'er walked out slowly, and Han Shixin talked about the remuneration with these two people. These Liu Man'er had discussed with him at home, but the way of settlement of wages made Feng Kang's eyes shine.
