Chapter 18 18. Tong shopkeeper: I regret my bowels!

The shopkeeper of 'Good Fortune Inn' is dumbfounded.

At this time in the past, when it was time to eat, the restaurant could have 20-30% of the occupancy rate.

And today...

He looked at the two or three big cats and kittens in the store, wanting to cry without tears.

On the other hand, the 'Bongtian Inn' diagonally opposite, was full of guests and spread to the road outside.

The most amazing thing is: Except for those who go to the toilet, I only see those who go in and never come out.

Even.

There are many people who would rather wait and stand over there than come from home to eat.

Oh no, there are.

The Inn shopkeeper saw a well-dressed man coming over, and he quickly smiled, "Guest, what would you like to eat?"

"No."

The man said anxiously: "The shopkeeper, your Inn has no one anyway, why don't you lend me a stool?"

Inn shopkeeper:  …

Heartbroken Ah, old man!

"Okay, take the guest yourself."

The Inn shopkeeper waved his hand feebly.

Then.

He saw: The big man moved the stool, quickly ran back to the 'Tongtian Inn' opposite the door, and sat down at a place outside.

Not long.

A group of people who borrowed stools came over.

The result: a large table in the store and no matching benches.

Inn shopkeeper clutching his chest, that's so angry!

He suddenly thought: Su Mu regretted what he said in the afternoon.

I'm so sorry!

"How could I be obsessed at that time and drive away that Taoist storyteller?"

The Inn shopkeeper beat his chest and paused, wanting to cry without tears.

At this time.

"Little Er, check out!"

"Hey!" Xiao Er hurriedly responded.

The two guests finished their meal, went to checkout, passed by the Inn shopkeeper, and were still talking as they walked.

"What happened over there, why are there so many people around?"

"I don't know, I remember it was also an Inn."

"I knew earlier. , just eat there, and watch the fun by the way."

"Yes!"

"Go, go and have a look!"

… …

Inn shopkeeper: …

Heartbroken again!

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that there was really no business in the store, so he let Xiao Er greet him and went to investigate the enemy's situation by himself.

"Hey, Tong shopkeeper..."

The shopkeeper looked at the back of his shopkeeper leaving with a grudge on his face.

He wanted to say that this kind of hard work to detect the enemy's situation, let him go, he also wanted to hear stories!

But he said:

Tong shopkeeper from 'Good Fortune Inn', who came to 'Tongtian Inn' here, can't squeeze in, there's no way, only spend a little money to get it. Got a place to listen to books.

Well, still standing.

Tong shopkeeper stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look in.

His eyes turned red.

I see:

In the Tongtian Inn, not only the seats are full, but also a lot of stools.

In addition, on almost every table, there are some cakes and snacks, and some of the tables that are obviously knights and wealthy households have a thick layer of nut shells on the surrounding ground.

"How much profit does this make?"

Tong shopkeeper muttered in his heart, almost dying of envy.

He is also in this business. According to his estimation, the profit of 'Babel Inn' is probably at least three or five silver tael this afternoon.

Three or five silver tael, then equivalent to 'Good Fortune Inn' small half a month's profit!

Tong shopkeeper can be a shopkeeper, and his mind is not stupid. He will understand it as soon as he turns a corner.

Generally speaking, a place like Inn will have guests only when it is time to eat.

Therefore, basically at the end of the day, there are several hours of free time, and there is no one in the store. And with a storyteller, you can make use of this blank time.

Don't leave after dinner?

Exactly, pancake fruit, do you want a set?

Would you like something to chew while listening to the story?

Peanuts, melon seeds, chestnuts, nuts, your choice.

I've listened to it all afternoon. It's time for dinner. Would you like to have a meal here?

What, go home to eat?

Yes, but...sorry, your spot is gone. Also, the story has to be heard.

New guest, no room available?

It doesn't matter, then stuff the bench.

Still not enough?

It doesn't matter, just stand and listen to the story for a while, just wait!

Wait too long to be hungry?

Bring me some snacks, can I eat while standing?

Don't underestimate these snacks and snacks.

Be aware that these snacks and snacks are more profitable than regular dishes!

How can there be a reason not to make money if this cycle goes down?

In short, Tong shopkeeper looked at the hot scene of 'Babel Inn', and his jealousy was beyond recognition!

At the same time, the intestines are all regretful.

He thought more than once, what would have happened if he had not driven Su Mu away?

Then, will this hot scene appear in your own store?

"oh! It's too late!"

Tong shopkeeper sighed heavily.

Actually, if I really want to speak of which, it's not a big deal if 'Babel Inn' is booming for a day or two, but I'm afraid it will continue to be popular.

Then... by then, all the customers in the store will be robbed.

"Not good!"

Tong shopkeeper began to regret again when he thought of this.

——Intestinal pain.

However, he didn't regret it for long.

Because: Soon, Tong shopkeeper is immersed in the story.

——Even if you start listening from the half, it will not affect the experience. Instead, you will only be more curious about the front and the back.

In the end, Tong shopkeeper gave up the treatment and had no desire to improve. He bought snacks here and ate while listening.

What, take two steps and go back to the store to get it?

Sorry, the place is gone.

I really miss the story!

......

"...Azhu learned of his life experience and worried that Xiao Fengfeng would kill his father, so he pretended to be Duan Zhengchun and came to Qingshiqiao."

Su Mu said here, his voice stopped abruptly, looked up at the sky outside, and said, "It's getting late, let's go here today!"

Hearing the words, everyone's faces , all showing regret.

Meanwhile.

The home prompt swiped, and a large wave of free spirit strength rolled in.

Some of the newcomers, who have never seen 'Su Mu taught a short and ugly man a lesson before', shouted dissatisfiedly: "Taoist, tell me another paragraph... wu wu!"

Before this person finished speaking, the person next to him covered his mouth and whispered, his face suddenly full of horror.

——It's not because the people next to him are so kind, but I'm just afraid that Su Mu will be angered by this stunned young man, which will lead to no stories to listen to in the future.

"many thanks."

Su Mu glanced at the man, but was not angry, but said: "Today, there is indeed no more. If you want to hear it again, you can listen to it tomorrow. Come again!"

said.

The golden light flashed in the palm of his hand, and a bamboo basket appeared out of thin air.

Appeared!

This Taoist priest's unique skill of 'changing things out of thin air' reappears in the rivers and lakes.

The people who have seen it before are excited and explain to others about bragging; the new people who have never seen it are full of stunned faces, with an expression that has never been seen in the world.

Papa!

Su Mu clapped his hands and interrupted the noise on the field: "Everyone listened to the book for an afternoon, if you think Poor Daoist said it well, you can give a reward. Two, one pen is not too little, and ten is not too much. If you don't want to spend money, that's okay, it's all voluntary."

Finished.

He motioned to Han Shi: "Go, retreat, take the basket and go around in a circle."

"Hey!"

Han Shi stood up after hearing the words , carrying a basket and strolling around in the crowd.

Da!

Da da da!

Da da!

……

The copper coins fell into the basket with a crisp sound.

Some give one article, some give two or three, and still others more.

Among them, there are some who don't give it; there are those who throw a piece of silver directly in the 'intention to please Su Mu'.

Soon, Han Shi came back from a stroll. There was half a basket of copper coins in the long bamboo basket, and there was a little bit of silver in it.

And Su Mu, as I said before, does not have any prejudice against those who do not give money, nor does he have any preferential treatment for those who reward fine silver.

"Master, this is the manuscript of "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections"."

Li Si handed over the manuscript.

"Very good."

Su Mu glanced at it, put it in the storage compartment, and grabbed a handful of the rewarded copper coins as a reward to Li Si. He will come back tomorrow.

Soon.

He put away the bamboo basket and brought Han Shi, ready to leave.
