Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 325 The First Storytelling of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 325

Everyone nodded to indicate that Wang Ping'an and the others knew that this was an opportunity to gain a good reputation and spread in the world, and they would only give up if they were stupid.

After finalizing one matter, Wang Pingan asked Zhao Hao to put away the third sign, and continued to talk about "Dream of Red Mansions" at night.

Everyone was very excited and very happy, except Cheng Yaojin who looked sullen, his protagonist's dream was shattered.

Wang Pingan led everyone to the boxes on the second floor. The first floor was almost occupied by curious people, and there was almost no room on the second floor except for the boxes.

He set up ten boxes on the second floor, two boxes can only seat two people, two boxes can seat four people, and there are six boxes left, each of which can seat ten people.

He brought Li Er and the eldest grandson to the ten-person room, and brought the rest of them to the ten-person room next door.

"Master, madam, what kind of tea do you want to drink?" Wang Pingan picked up the price list on the table and showed it to Li Er and his eldest grandson.

Then he said to the ministers: "Uncles, what kind of tea do you want to drink? You can look at the price list on the table. After you are satisfied, you can call the buddy to serve the tea."

When Li Er saw the price list that said: first-class green tea fifty cents a cup, two hundred cents a pot, first-class black tea fifty cents... boiled water was one cent a cup, five cents a pot, he took a breath.

"Ping'an, this is robbery, isn't it just drinking water, it's almost catching up with the daily expenses of ordinary people." Li Er couldn't hold it anymore.

"My lord, you can't say that. No one forced them to spend fifty cents for a cup of tea. Can they drink boiled water for one penny? You know, teahouse storytelling is free, and they don't charge money." Wang Pingan said.

"That's about the same. Let's have a pot of first-class green tea. What would you like to drink, maidservant of Guanyin?" Li Er asked.

The eldest grandson looked at the bill and asked, "What kind of tea is this scented tea?"

"Hui Niangniang, this is a scented tea brewed with chrysanthemum, rose and other petals. It is most suitable for women to drink. Drinking it regularly can play a role in detoxification and beauty." Wang Pingan explained.

"Drink scented tea." Beauty is a woman's nature. Hearing that it can detoxify and beautify the skin, the eldest grandson chooses to drink scented tea without saying anything.

Wang Pingan asked the waiter to bring up a pot of scented tea and first-class green tea and put them in front of Li Er and the eldest grandson respectively. The waiter helped them pour the tea into teacups, saying that the fragrance of the tea was overflowing and calmed people down.

All of a sudden, the ministers asked for a pot of first-class green tea one by one.

Wang Pingan smiled and asked the waiter to bring everyone a pot of first-class green tea, and then Wang Pingan said to everyone: "Everyone, since you ordered a letter of green tea, please pay for it. It's not expensive, only two hundred for a pot." It's just text."

Changsun Wuji was stunned immediately, and he said, "No, isn't this your treat?"

Du Ruhui also said: "That's right, you said it, you treated us, we all heard it."

"Yeah yeah……"

"Master Changsun and Master Du are right. General Wang can't count his words."

The crowd started to make noise.But Li Er and the eldest grandson were drinking tea and watching the play with a smile.

"You don't have to pay. There are eighteen pots of tea in total, which is only [-] renminbi. Since the investors are not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if I am in a hurry. Let's treat it as a treat for everyone. Behind the price list, there are snacks , If you need it, you can order it. Anyway, the treasury, His Majesty, and some ministers who have invested in shares have no objections, so please order it." Wang Pingan said with a smile.

Li Er, the eldest grandson and all the ministers turned over the reverse side of the price list. It was also a price list, but it was the price of snacks, snacks.

After they glanced at it, their eyeballs were about to pop out. The cheapest melon seeds cost five hundred cash, while the others cost one or even five or ten strings.

They couldn't believe the price in front of them, it was so unreasonable, it was so fucking expensive.

Wang Ping'an's voice came to mind again: "Masters, there is no need to be nervous. If you want to eat, please order as much as you can. Anyway, Uncle Changsun and Uncle Du both said that the boss will treat you."

"Cough cough...cough cough..." Both Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui were choking on the tea and coughing again and again. They seemed to be crying and said in their hearts, "I don't want to play like this. If everyone ordered ten and twenty sticks, The easy money of hundreds of guan is gone, besides, who knows when Li Er will leave."

"Snapped!!!"

At this time, there was a sound of a gavel downstairs, and it was time for storytelling, and the originally noisy first floor became quiet.It was the first time for everyone to tell a story, and this was the first time in the history of Datang, so everyone fell silent.

Immediately, the second floor also became quiet, Wang Ping'an stopped making trouble, and Li Er and the others began to listen attentively.

I saw a person dressed as a scholar with a fan on the platform, and said loudly: "Guest officials, I am Qianshanhu, and I will talk about "Legend of the White Snake" today. Holding a personal field."

"Snapped!!!"

After the standard Jianghu terminology was finished, after the Gavel thought about it again, he said: "It is said that there was once a little shepherd boy who played a flute and herded cattle in the mountains..."

At the beginning of the story, the shepherd boy rescued the white snake, who knew that the rescued white snake was already a successful little snake demon. Anyone who has read the Datang Daily already knows this story, so many people do not think it is novel.

Because the story is expressed in the form of storytelling, the plot of the story and the words spoken by the protagonist are ups and downs and cadences, which make people listen to it with a special flavor.

When the story tells of Bai Suzhen stealing Fahai's golden elixir, the audience unconsciously shouted "Hello". The same torment he suffered.

When the storyteller described Bai Suzhen, who was in human form, as beautiful as a fairy, everyone, including Li Er and other princes and ministers, unconsciously fell into a beautiful imagination.

"Snapped!!!"

The storyteller slapped the gavel again, and shouted: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

It took half an hour to finish the first chapter of "Legend of the White Snake".

"It's over? Is it over? I just got addicted to listening to it, why did it stop?" a customer said.

"Yes, we haven't heard enough, continue talking, we will pay."

"Next, here's your reward, let's continue." A merchant threw a few pieces to the storyteller on the platform.

Immediately afterwards, some wealthy guests began to throw reward money on the Internet platform, some threw a few taels more, and some less had dozens of coins.

When the storyteller saw the money, his eyes lit up, he made a rough count, and almost drooled, good guy, there are at least twenty or thirty coins equivalent to copper coins.

Resisting the temptation in his heart, he used his strong willpower not to look at the money. He raised his head and glanced at Wang Pingan on the second floor, and saw that the other party nodded slightly to him.

The name of the storyteller was Guo Da, and he was one of the prisoners working in the commercial square at that time, along with Yang Si and Nian San, who were attracted by Wang Ping'an because of their good eloquence. , knowing that he was framed.

He did not hesitate to help them vindicate the unjust case, but there was only one request, that is, to talk about the book in his teahouse for three years, and if he still wanted to stay after three years, he would renew the contract.

The three not only knew that Wang Ping'an helped them rehabilitate them, but also were willing to hire them to work, and even took care of their families when they were in prison, which made them very grateful.

Especially now that their children are all studying in colleges near the commercial plaza, and their wives are also working in the commercial plaza, even though their parents rent a house not far from the commercial plaza.

Wang Ping'an had already explained to the three of them early in the morning that after they finished speaking, no matter what the guests who sat down said or did, they should not care about them, and they would greet them with smiles.

As for the reward, when signing the contract, it was confirmed that the teahouse and I would each receive half, and the teahouse would give me the wages and myself.Unless you don't want wages, then the rewards are all your own.

But what he didn't expect is that there are so many rewards, twenty or thirty, while the wages are consistent in a month.This salary is quite a lot. The average person can earn a consistent amount in two months, or even three or four months.

But compared to the reward, it is much, much worse...

He defeated greed with rationality, and said to the guests below: "Guest officials, the villain Guo Da, whose stage name is Guo Tiezui, thank you for your support and rewards. Come again. An hour later, the next story "Dream of Red Mansions" is about to begin, please wait patiently."

After finishing speaking, he left the audience with a look of bewilderment, regret, and anticipation.He left the scene straight away and went backstage to rest.

Backstage, Guo Da rowed his chest and said: "I'm so nervous, it's so cold, my whole clothes can get soaked from nervousness."

Nian San leaned over and smiled: "Why are you nervous, haven't you heard the reaction at the scene? Everyone is asking you to go out and continue talking!"

"What are you going to do? I'm almost running out of words. No wonder the young master asked us to only talk once. It's too tiring." Guo Da said.

"It's worth it. Didn't you see the bounty thrown at you on the stage? I did a rough calculation. At least there are twenty guan, which is half the price of a tea house, and there are also ten guan. It's about your annual income. On this day It's done." Yang Si also came over and said excitedly.

Guo Da giggled silly after listening.

"Guo Da, this is what the young master asked me to give to you." Zhao Hao walked into the backstage, handed a money bag to Guo Da, and then continued to the crowd: "Listen, three of you, all rewards today are It's yourselves, it's the first day of opening today, and you got a red envelope on stage, how much you can earn depends on your eloquence."

After the three listened to it, they were immediately excited and made two or three years' worth of income at once, and they were even more grateful to Wang Ping'an in their hearts.
