Chapter 37 37. Crying in the hut (two chapters 9k for collection recommendation)

The next day.

West Ning City.

"...nonsense! What are you kidding me, my family's reputation is not good? That person named Tong is really talk nonsense."

The shopkeeper of 'Yingke Building' Jiang Chao, foul-mouthed Exit from the 'Good Fortune Inn'.

The Inn shopkeeper in this street just now held a meeting at 'Good Fortune Inn' to discuss the matter of 'storytelling'. His 'Yingke Building' was rejected because of its poor reputation. .

"Isn't that: I've squeezed the farmers' payment for goods? Isn't that: The portion of the food in the Inn is a little less? Why do I have a bad reputation?"

Jiang Muttering into his mouth, still indignant.

"No, other Inns have storytellers, but I don't have one in the Yingke Building. This is a disadvantage! Maybe, there will be no guests in the future, so come to my house for dinner at the Yingke Building..."

p>

"I have to think of a way."

He pondered, and suddenly his eyes shined: "Babel Inn, Good Fortune Inn, their set, to put it bluntly, is: Storyteller + Story ."

"Isn't this simple?"

"Storyman, I can ask, three-legged toads are hard to find, and literate scholars are hard to find?"

"As for the story, I can go to 'Qulou' to buy it. If it doesn't work, I can ask scholar to write it. What's so difficult about it?"

"I saved What about the money from the refreshments!"

Jiang Chao thought of this, and slapped his palm excitedly: "It's not too late, I'll do it now."

......

Come on.

This Jiang Chao is swift and decisive. He made up his mind in the morning and finished it at noon.

——The storyteller was hired from a clerk who was literate; the story was bought from the Qulou with a little money.

And then, here it goes.

Jiang Chao was excited, and even went on stage to shout: "The Legend of the Martyr Girl," the most popular "Biography of the Martyr Girl" in Qulou! Come to Yingke Building, listen to the story for free, and listen to the book while eating. Yo!"

Not to mention, his set works really well, not long after, there were only half of the people sitting in the store.

Even passers-by and little children gathered around.

You can see these people who want to 'white whore'.

Jiang Chao's complexion changed, and immediately drove him away: "go go go, don't come to eat, what are you doing to join in the fun? If you really want to listen to the book, at least order a pot of tea!"

And Just then-

When!

The 'Delicious Zhai', which is diagonally opposite the door, banged the gong suddenly.

Soon.

Xiao Er's shouts followed: "The same story of Su daoist - "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections", authorized by Su daoist, is grandly opened today. Let's listen It: The man is arrogant and brother, and the beauty is in the rivers and lakes... If you pass by, don't miss it!"

...

In the welcome building, there was a sudden discussion Voice.

"I've heard this "Legend of the Martyr Woman" many times in Qulou. Otherwise, let's go and listen to "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections" Right?"

"Okay! I've heard about "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections" for a long time, it's very interesting, but unfortunately the 'Babel Inn' has never had a place... didn't expect, 'delicious' Zhai' has also started to talk, let's go and listen."

"The man is proud of his brotherhood, and he embraces the beauty in the rivers and lakes... This is very interesting, I will also listen to it. "

"Yes, this "Legend of the Strong Woman" is crying, what's the point? Good man, you should listen to "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections"!"

"Let's go together! Go together!"

......

In a blink of an eye, the guests of the 'Yingke Building' left the bits and pieces, and they are still there Continued loss.

Jiang Chao was dumbfounded.

......

Not only the guests of the 'Yingke Building', but also passers-by and little children, who were driven away by Jiang Chao before, also moved their positions and came to the 'Meiweizhai' '.

See this scene.

The shop assistant of 'Meiweizhai' hurried to report: "...that's how it is. Shopkeeper Song, what should we do? Should we learn from 'Yingkelou' and drive these people away?"

"Drive? No need!"

Shopkeeper Song waved his hand: "In the morning training at 'Good Fortune Inn', the Su daoist said: little children, passers-by, these are all The good 'melon-eating people' is good for spontaneous propaganda, um, the melon-eating people, it should be such a word... and it also has the effect of setting off some atmosphere..."

"Anyway, it's good to keep them. Now, don't worry about it."

"Hey!"

The second shop assistant agreed, busy greeting the guests.

That's it.

In 'Delicious Zhai', the guests who ate and ordered snacks all sat down and listened; while passers-by and children stood and listened on the side of the road.

In the blink of an eye, the excitement came out.

......

Jiang Chao looked at the 'Delicious Zhai' diagonally opposite the door, looking angry and jealous, he couldn't help but enter the room, he also took out a gong and drum, a bang bang bang Knock straight, shouting vigorously.

Available right away.

I see:

A lot of people are attracted, which is true, but basically they all go to the 'Meiweizhai'.

"I %￥#@&..."

Jiang Chao was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

...

Things do not depend on human will.

The curse of Jiang Chao does not affect the number of guests of 'Delicious Zhai', more and more.

Everyone likes to watch the fun. When I see so many people around here, I subconsciously want to come and take a look.

In addition, many passers-by and little children listened here for a while, and when they left to go elsewhere, they also helped to promote a few words... As a result, more people came.

There are so many people that they always want to eat he he, and the business of 'Delicious Zhai' is also booming.

……

Jiang Chao looked at his 'Yingke Building', the saddled horses were deserted in front of the door; and then looked at the 'Delicious Zhai' diagonally opposite the door, the traffic was full, and the store was crowded all the way. outside.

Such a gap, in comparison, it is a sad one!

"You have to think of a way."

Jiang Chao rolled his eyes and said to the storyteller beckons with the hand, "Liu, come come!"

"Jiang shopkeeper, do you have something to do with me?"

"I have something to do. What...isn't the business in my shop not good? It's not a solution to keep going like this. Ah, isn't it?"

Jiang Chao was beating around the bush for a while, and finally showed his fox's tail: "Or, I'll give you a short vacation, you can go to 'Meiweizhai' to listen and see what they say What story?"

"The shopkeeper's, just listen?" Scholar Liu looked strange.

"Then what, listen, take a note by the way, come to my Inn and talk about it..."

"Jiang shopkeeper, this is immoral." Liu Shushengyi Right words.

"I'll give you a reward..."

"Jiang shopkeeper, it's not about money..."

"Thirty articles!"

p>

"Ah, Jiang shopkeeper, aren't you embarrassing me? Thirty wen can't buy my morality, I can't buy my conscience..."

"Fifty wen!"

"Well, I'll take the risk and give you a try."

 …

An hour later.

Scholar Liu returned from the scriptures and talked about "The Deva, the Nāga, and the Eight Sections" in the 'Yingke Building'.

Hey, don't mention it, it really attracts a lot of people.

The 'Welcoming Building' finally began to gain popularity, and the number of guests continued to increase.

Jiang Chao looked at this scene with a proud smile on his face.

 …

A delicious meal.

"The shopkeeper's, it's not good!"

The shopkeeper came to report and told the story of stealing the story from the 'Yingke Building' diagonally opposite the door.

"Stealing stories?"

Shopkeeper Song seemed to be mentally prepared for a long time, but just asked: "They didn't take paper and pen, did they record on the spot?"

"How can it be?"

The shop assistant patted his chest and assured: "If someone really did that, it would be a mess, and we would have blasted it out long ago."

"Then Don't worry about it."

Shopkeeper Song waved his hand: "Su daoist training said that this kind of petty stealing stories are all about picking up our leftovers to eat, which can't pose any threat, but only It will increase the popularity of our store."

"You just need to watch it, don't let people make a draft of the story."

"Hey!"

……

Say back to the 'Welcome Building'.

Scholar Liu went to 'steal the story', and the progress of the story was naturally far behind, which was nothing.

——Anyway, there are always people who didn't listen to the whole thing, so just listen to it again.

However, it still has errors and omissions.

If it is more serious, it will be troublesome.

Isn't it?

A hot-tempered gangster, who happened to have heard Su Mu's original text before, when he heard Liu Shusheng's 'storytelling' again, he couldn't help interrupting and correcting.

As for Liu Shusheng, he usually does things smoothly, but when it comes to his own housekeeping ability—knowledge, he is also a bully, unwilling to back down, and refuting that big man worthless by citing scriptures.

How could the big man bear it?

I didn't want to say anything. In the end, I almost smashed the 'Guest Building'.

Jiang shopkeeper wanted to cry without tears, crying faintly in the hut.

……

But said:

Su Mu came to 'Good Fortune Inn' early in the morning, to all the Inns who joined the 'Story Union', come A small class training.

Then.

He took Han Shi to the 'Tongtian Inn' and started his storytelling career today.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it's lunch time.

Su Mu stopped talking on time and said, "Today's storytelling, just here, no more in the afternoon. The same is true for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, resume four hours a day."

The room is full, the eyes of resentment are focused, and there are regretful boos.

Su Mu remain unmoved.

Today Saturday and tomorrow Sunday, he has a half-day shift, what else do you want? This is already a model worker, isn't it?

——Homeland Log with date prompt.

And this group of unscrupulous people still want to make themselves nine-nine-six, zero-seven?

It's just not human!

 …

It was just like yesterday.

Zhu Fugui invited Su Mu, Han Shi, and Li four to Su Mu's 'exclusive luxury box' for lunch.

The room.

Su Mu said that from now on, every five days, I will do this for two consecutive days, with a half-day rest.

"Su Daoist,"

Zhu Fugui took advantage of the situation to make a request: "You tell stories in the store, four hours a day, and the rest of the time, can I hire another storyteller? , use your story to tell a story, to attract guests?"

"Of course, you can rest assured that 20% of the tea profit will not be missing your share."

"Of course you can. , this is your business, you can make your own decisions."

Su Mu nodded.

He is not a domineering person, how could he not agree to such a reasonable request?

Besides, it's good for you.

"Su daoist, in fact, I've already taken advantage of it. Other Inns, using your stories, make 20% of the profit from refreshments; my Inn, you tell the story yourself, and only 20% of the profits, but I let you Su Mu looked up and gave Zhu Fugui a surprised look.

Is this sending money to myself?

He thought about it for a while and understood: this Zhu Fugui is really giving himself money around the corner, trying to form a love of incense!

And, still use the money of 'Babel Inn' to make his own incense love.

This guy is... smart!

It just so happens that Su Mu has recently been short of money; and this money can be regarded as dignified and clean, so naturally there is no need to refuse.

"Then do as you say." Su Mu agreed.

“Hey!”

Zhu Fugui settled the matter in one go, with a happy expression on his face.

He knows: this incense love is finally settled!

"By the way, inside the 'Babel Inn', I want to join the 'Story Alliance' Inn, what happened?"

Su Mu asked.

"It's already done, I was going to wait for you to have dinner before talking about it."

Zhu Fugui heard the words, got up immediately, and took out a roster: "This is It's inside the 'Battle Inn', and you have a look at all the directories that have joined the 'Storytelling Alliance'."

"You don't need to look at it."

Su Mu waved his hand and didn't go. Answer: "You don't need to be suspicious. You don't need to be suspicious. I trust you. When that happens, you can give them a copy of my training record at 'Good Fortune Inn' today."

"Hey, I remember."

Zhu Fugui agreed and took back the roster. He was deeply moved by Su Mu's trust, and had a feeling of 'scholars die for confidants'.

"Don't worry, Su daoist, I will help you keep an eye on all the Inns that join us, so that they won't make a fool of yourself... If you have any questions, just ask me."

He solemnly vowed to promise.

"Good."

Su Mu nodded and smiled: "Those refreshments are divided, and I don't need to give them to me every day, just every ten days."

"Understood."

...

Have lunch.

Su Mu gave Li Si a half-day vacation—the renter rented it for the whole day.

Then.

He took Han Shi, left the 'Babel Inn', and went to the market.

Wandered around the market.

"Young Master, there is someone behind." Han Shi suddenly reminded.

“en?”

Su Mu turned around and saw a panicked, familiar shadow.

It is hope!

But he said:

Looking forward to the morning, I left that aunt's house and went to look for a job.

However.

Like yesterday, every time I didn't speak, I was expelled, lest I have to avoid it, let alone find a job.

So ah.

Gu Pan was just wandering the streets. At noon, he was going to find a stall to buy something to fill his stomach, and then he met Su Mu.

She wondered: Will Su Mu be the same as yesterday, when she went outside the city to recruit people for mining, so she followed behind.

And then, it was discovered.

"What are you hiding? Come here!" Su Mu beckoned.

Gu Pan heard the voice and knew that he had been discovered, so he stuck his head out, looked at it first, then slightly reddened his face, and walked over in small steps.

However.

Looking at her expression, she was very vigilant. It seemed that Su Mu's movements would scare her away, like a timid rabbit.

-- Probably the repercussions of yesterday's incident.

"What are you afraid of?"

Su Mu looked amused: "Under this broad daylight, will I still eat you? Yesterday's incident was a misunderstanding. I'll explain to you..."

Just then—

gu lu lu!

There was a belly protest.

Su Mu and Han Shi looked towards Gu Pan.

Gu Pan's face suddenly turned red - this time, even the pimples on his face could not be concealed.

"Come on, go to this Inn, let's talk slowly."

Su Mu said understandingly, breaking the embarrassment.

So.

The three entered the Inn next to the house.

......

Coincidentally, there were three people in Su Mu, the front foot entered the Inn, followed by a person, saw Su Mu from a distance, and followed in .

It's Manager Pang of Zhang's house!

But he said:

This steward was instructed by Zhang Jin to go outside the city to inquire early in the morning. Enter the city to confirm, and finally locked to the 'Babel Inn'.

But he didn't go there by chance. By the time he got to the 'Babel Inn', Su Mu had already left.

So.

Manager Pang made inquiries all the way and got here.

"The woman's face is covered with pimples, which seems to be an intractable disease... In this way, I just want to see how this Su Daoist looks like."

Manager Pang thought so, not far from the three of Su Mu, found a table and sat down.
