The rain falls from the corners of the eaves and the wind passes through the window.

Such days were originally suitable for leaning on the building to listen to the wind, watching the rain at the pond, leaving three points of smile between your eyebrows, and seven points of coldness and arrogance in your eyes.

The bustling market was full of traffic, so it was naturally closed outside the door, with the drizzle and smoke remaining in my heart.

It is so peaceful that even if you live to the point where no one cares about it, you will not feel lonely.

Wei Renshi leaned against the railing and watched the passers-by walking in the rain, accompanied by the sound of rain, and felt unreasonable calm in his heart.

The singing and dancing on the stage inside the building seemed to be invisible, and the movements of posing tables and stools were unaware of them.

Standing on the high ground, Wei Renshi inexplicably felt a strange feeling, feeling like a player in the game, and all the people below were virtual characters.

Shaking his head, throwing this absurd idea out of his head.

Sun Peng came up, bowed, and asked, "I've finished the show below, are you still satisfied?"

Wei Renshi nodded and asked again, "How much is the offer?"

"She has a total of more than ten women. If she sends two people to sing ten songs every day, she will have to pay 300 guan a month with her." Sun Peng said, "But she is a musician from the Jiaofang. The women under her are good at practicing, so it is more expensive. The previous family sent four people to sing ten songs a day, and only 200 guan a month. In fact, it would be better to buy two people directly from her subordinates and raise them ourselves. Although it is a bit expensive now, in the long run, the cost is still less. And buying the contract for the body belongs to our Yimeng Building, and we are more dedicated to our restaurant. However, there is also an advantage of hiring people on a monthly basis, that is, the person sent is not fixed, and it will not make people angry."

Although he knew that this era was like this, Wei Renshi was still surprised when he heard the treatment of people and goods.

"Buy it, buy it... how much does it cost?" Wei Renshi frowned and asked.

Sun Peng quickly replied, "That's not going to be there. Of course, the better the more expensive it is. But these are all private prostitutes. If you really ask them for the best one, they don't have any subordinates. It's almost a few thousand guan to buy one. Although it sounds a bit expensive, once you buy it, you will be the people in our Yimeng Building, whether it's five, seven, ten, or eight years old, you are all singers in our building."

There is actually a difference between prostitutes and prostitutes. The former is often versatile and talented. At the beginning, they mostly sell their skills but not their own. Later, they either meet someone they love, or they start selling themselves when they are older, or they are redeemed as a concubine. However, the latter sells themselves directly from the beginning.

The official prostitutes in the official sect are official prostitutes, and these are often more versatile and have much higher quality than those without musical prostitutes.

Wei Renshi thought for a while and asked again, "What do you think?"

"I think we will buy it, but we don't buy too much, we just need to buy a good one first with the money." Sun Peng said, "I went to see other restaurants and food buildings these days, and I realized that these singers are also very important. Just Zuixian Pavilion in Beijing has a singer who said that the songs are very beautiful. Every day, people who leave for her singing songs have brought a lot of revenue to Zuixian Pavilion. So I thought that buying more is worse than buying essence. Maybe it's better to sing well and attract people."

Wei Renshi laughed, "You are trying your best to attract people to us. But this idea reminds me. There is actually a lot of potential on this small platform. Singing songs, listening to operas, storytelling and crosstalk are all very attractive."

After thinking about it, Wei Renshi said again, "Since that's the case, you can do it. The style doesn't have to be too good, but you must sing well enough. We haven't opened yet, have no revenue, and have limited money on hand, so I still got it from the Jiao family. So the highest level cannot be higher than 3,000 guan. Just within this range, choose the best one to sing."

"Okay." Sun Peng nodded.

Sun Peng's words reminded Wei Renshi. Although singing and dancing are pleasing to the eye, storytelling and crosstalk can also capture people's hearts.

Especially in this era, entertainment activities are still very single in terms of form and content. If you can bring the storytelling and crosstalk in later generations and perform those famous storytelling and crosstalk, it should have a good effect.

But Wei Renshi doesn't know much about it.

You can say a few sentences about storytelling and crosstalk, but that is all amateur, you can’t be more amateur. You only learned a few sentences in the Quyi Club in college and performed a few times in college party. Later, after work, an old teacher in the school liked storytelling and learned a few more times. As for crosstalk, he was even more inexperienced.

So you can try this storytelling first. As for crosstalk, it’s better to practice it secretly by yourself.

Storytelling - I remember that the Tang Dynasty should be called speaking?

The speaker leans on his mouth, mainly speaking some Taoist scriptures outside the Taoist temple and Buddhist temple, and sometimes interspersed with legendary stories.

These people have a foundation. If they combine it with the storytellings in later generations that they have seen and combined with the classic stories brought from later generations, they should achieve good results.

But I really don’t know where these people who spoke came from. When Wei Renshi went to the Great Dao Temple, he didn’t see anyone preaching the scriptures.

Who is the most effective way to find those talented people from all walks of life?

Among the people Wei Renshi knows now, he can only ask Zhang Gan for help.

On that day, Wei Renshi brought some gifts and went to Zhang Gan's residence in person.

"Hahahaha, the spirits brought by Brother Wei a few days ago were really timely. Something was finally said!" Zhang Gan walked out from behind, and Wei Renshi, who was waiting in the court, smiled.

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "It's just that I can help. Today, I came here to tell Brother Zhang that my dream building will open in four days. By the way, I have to ask Brother Zhang to help me."

"Haha, Brother Wei is also a straight person." Zhang Gan laughed loudly, "but it's okay."

Wei Renshi smiled, "I came here today because I wanted Brother Zhang to help me find someone who makes a living by talking. I thought about some good stories and wanted someone to tell them orally in my pub and tell the stories to the guests. I wonder if Brother Zhang knows these people?"

Zhang Gan laughed and said, "So that's it. This is very simple. In the Taoist temple and the Buddhist temple, some people live by explaining the collection of Buddhist scriptures in public, explaining the scriptures for believers, and oral stories about immortals or Buddhas. This is "talking". People who "talk" hold words, most of them are Taos. The stories that encourage people in the two Buddhist teachings are strange and unique, and they tell them to everyone. What Brother Wei said is these people."

Wei Renshi was overjoyed and nodded, "It's these people! I went around the Dahong Taoist Temple, but I didn't find these people."

"These people often don't talk there often, Brother Wei is not looking for the right place." Zhang Gan smiled and said to Wei Renshi. "Since that's the case, let's take this matter for Brother Wei. Brother Wei will wait for you. Brother Wei will find all these people within three days and send someone to take them over. How many people do Brother Wei want?"

"That's so thankful to Brother Zhang!" Wei Renshi stood up and thanked him, saying "Just one or two!"
