Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 205 Storyteller ([-])
Because Liu Man'er wanted to use storytelling to attract people, in addition to the fixed wages, the two storytellers could also get a percentage of the store's turnover for the day. Fifty-five points.

In ancient times, everyone was paid a monthly salary, and they had never been paid in this way before, so both of them found it quite novel.

This method of basic salary plus commission can greatly encourage people's hearts. When Liu Man'er told Han Shixin at the time, Han Shixin was also impressed, and felt that this method was feasible.

Including the guys in the store, each of them earns 5.00 cash per month, and then they get [-]% of the store's net income. The two storytellers make the same salary as them, and get [-]% of the store's income. Take ten percent.

Although Uncle Han is a domestic slave bought by Liu Man'er, after all, it is easy to do things with money. If you have no money, it is not very good after all. of turnover.

I hope that through this kind of Fang family, he can take good care of the teahouse.

The business of this teahouse should not be too bad in Liu Man'er's prediction. After all, her words are written so well that no one will come to listen to her.

The teahouse has been decorated, the plaques are in place, and there are staffs. The opening of this teahouse is easy, just boil water and make tea, and then it can be opened.

This time Liu Man'er didn't invite anyone to cut the ribbon for the opening, and she didn't ask Shuai Shuai to attract customers. She just asked Han Shixin to put up a simple plaque, and the first three days of rough tea were free.

This crude tea is not expensive, you can buy a catty for five renminbi, and it is nothing more than burning water and firewood, so it doesn't get in the way.

There were not many people who came to the first day. Most of them were idle and boring old people, or some idlers. When they saw that it was free, they came to sit and sit, or they came to have a rest when they were tired.

But as soon as they sat down, they didn't want to leave. Without it, this story is so good that people really don't want to leave.

On the second day, the number of people who came to listen to the book doubled. In addition to men, there were also some children and middle-aged women. They sat in the teahouse and were reluctant to leave. When they heard the emotional part, they burst into tears.

After Feng Yongkang finished telling the story, they reluctantly got up and left.

On the third day, the teahouse had not yet opened, but it attracted a lot of people. When the door opened, even the door was full. Due to the large number of people, the two waiters couldn't handle it at all, so Liu Man'er asked Cao'er to come. In the past, I helped to burn the fire for a day.

After three days of operating at a loss, these people are gradually addicted to the story of "Journey to the West". They always feel itchy if they don't listen to the storyteller once or twice a day, even though they have already started charging at this time. But there are still a lot of guests.

Stories are always passed on by word of mouth. If a story is well told, it will naturally spread widely.But in just a few days, many people knew about Liu Man'er's "storyteller" teahouse. Many people felt itchy when they heard the story from others, and they came to listen to it once or twice.

Although this Feng Yongkang looks short and fat, he is indeed a first-class storyteller. His voice is hearty, thick and eloquent. According to the book given by Liu Man'er, it is naturally better than those people heard from others. want.

Originally, Han Shixin thought that the two private seats near the storyteller's table would be wasted, but he didn't expect two guests to come on the third day of charging.

They were two ladies wearing curtains. They must have heard the story from someone else before they came to hear it. Liu Man'er charges [-] cash for the two front row seats, free tea and fruit. Han Shixin has always felt that there is a charge It's a bit expensive, but I didn't expect someone to come.

There is a row of long desks on the periphery of this elegant seat. These long desks are one hundred yuan per table, free tea and a plate of fruit for free. Of course, the types of tea are mostly Biluochun, Tieguanyin, and Longjing. The tea, if not the best kind, is at least average.

As for the ordinary tables and benches in the back, they are made of ordinary crude tea, and the money is charged according to the tea water. It costs a couple of pennies, and as long as you have time, you can sit there for a whole day.

Of course, there are no dedicated waiters to serve these long tables, all you can do is to wave to the waiters to come over and add water.

Because most of the people who come here are people who come to listen to the story, everyone also consciously keeps quiet and keeps their voices very low.

Many people couldn't find a table, so they could only sit on the bench next to the door. More people crowded at the door, or even stood outside the door. Korean-style new people made more stools and placed them at the door.

At the beginning, he was worried about whether he would lose money after being free for the first three days, but after half a month passed, after such a calculation, he actually got two or three taels of silver every day.

Of course, many of these incomes came from the private seats and VIP seats in front of them, and a lot of them were rewarded by people to the storytellers, and Liu Man'er shared with them fifty to five.

It's funny to say, but now this private seat is almost reserved by some girls' families, and some ladies call their maids to come over to occupy the seat early every day, as if they are proud of being able to occupy this private seat.

The suitors of these girls also figured out a way to come over early every morning to help the beauties occupy seats, but even so, there are only two seats for them, and if they can't occupy them, they can only settle for the next best option. Several.

Therefore, these private seats have brought income to the store, while those seats in the back are only barely enough to pay the guys, and they have just saved their capital.

Drinking tea and listening to books is an elegant thing. Even if these girls come here, they will not be considered indecent if they cover their veils and sit in the front row.

Well, Liu Man'er has a dream, and that is to hope that the storybook she wrote can become popular in this county, making people feel that it is an honor to come to her 'storyteller' to drink tea and listen to books.

However, the county is so big after all, there are so many rich people, and so many people who are free. Many people have not heard the previous article, and they do not understand the following story.

Liu Man'er thought about it, and felt that when most people in the county had heard of her teahouse and her story, she could start publishing books.

Only by seizing the opportunity can she make money, and now her teahouse is fully supported by the story of "Journey to the West", and there is no intellectual protection right in this ancient time, but in just half a month, there are already many in this county The teahouse began to tell the story.

Fortunately, it is because her stories are always told before others, so there are still many people coming to her, otherwise, with the charges of her teahouse, all the customers will be lost soon, but Even so, a lot was lost due to piracy.

She felt that if she didn't seize the opportunity to publish the book, someone else might give it to her at that time. If so, she would definitely be pissed off.

But now she is really too busy every day. She has to write the follow-up of Journey to the West and the generals of the Yang family, and she is almost too busy every day.

Now her teahouse has opened two performances. In the morning, Feng Yongkang still talks about "Journey to the West", and in the afternoon, Li Yongwen talks about "The General of the Yang Family". As a result, the turnover has skyrocketed.

The reason is that many people sit for a whole day to listen to stories, but now two different stories are told every day, and people who come to listen to books can choose to listen to the stories they like instead of sitting all day. There, you can finish listening to the book in the morning, and then go to work on your own affairs, which will give up a lot of seats.

Liu Man'er planned to organize and publish her Journey to the West, and now that the teahouse was on the right track, Liu Man'er planned to transfer Uncle Han back to help her with the publishing, and asked Feng Yongkang to help take care of the shop.

Feng Yongkang saw that he had not been in this teahouse for a month, and the owner called him such an important task, and he was really a little nervous, but Liu Man'er smiled slightly, telling him not to worry, as long as the account is recorded. .

After all, he only needs to talk in the morning every day, and he can rest in the afternoon. If he is the shopkeeper, he has enough time.

What's more, Li Yongwen can also help him. Although the two quarrel when they meet, they are actually brothers and have a very good relationship. As Liu Man'er said, they are happy enemies.

In the past, they liked to compare each other, and each of them thought that they were good storytellers. After Liu Man'er learned about this, she enlightened them, "You two are not in the same style at all. One is the voice of gold and jade, and the other is tactful. There is no difference at all, but we should learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths."

Now the two of them are quite happy here to talk about books, both of them have gathered some listeners who like to listen to their stories, and there is no conflict of interest, although they still choke each other occasionally, but it is harmless.

Liu Man'er also let Han Shixin observe them carefully during this time, and Han Shixin also felt that their character was fine, but a small teahouse could do the job.

Moreover, having the two of them as shopkeepers can also promote the relationship between the teahouse and tea customers.

After all, most of the people who come here to drink tea are to listen to books, and the two storytellers Feng Yongkang and Li Yongwen are like stars in their eyes.

Now there is not only tea in this shop, Liu Man'er also sells some melons, fruits, pastries and other snacks there, which can be regarded as an extra income.

At least within half a month of opening, her capital has come back. Of course, it is still difficult to repay the huge debt of more than 2000 taels with this shop alone, so the future is long and she still needs to think of other ways.

What Liu Man'er thought of was to take advantage of the popularity of "Journey to the West" to print some books and sell them in bookstores. After all, many people haven't heard the full story, so it's good to read books.

Ye Feng also told Liu Man'er that now some people in his school are discussing the book "Journey to the West", and there are even some manuscripts. Although it is not as good as the story written by Liu Man'er, there are already pirated copies. If it continues, Maybe even what she wrote later will be continued by others, so the story she worked so hard to write will be in vain.
