After dinner, the teahouse manager Ge Baoquan knocked on the door with his clothes, "Dong dong dong!"
"Lin Guihua, I've brought you clothes!"
The person who opened the door was Liang Jingyao. He had a dark face and said, "You can just call me Miss Lin from now on!"
Ge Baoquan didn't know why he offended this man, so he walked into the room in confusion, "Lin, Miss Lin, these are brand new clothes."
Lin Xiaoyue tried her best to hold back her laughter. When Ge Baoquan called Lin Guihua outside, Liang Jingyao's face immediately turned ugly! But when Ge Baoquan asked her name, she didn't have time to think about it, so she blurted out the name of Lin Guihua and Lin Yongsheng.
name.
It's a bit boring, but it's easy to remember!
She stepped forward to take the clothes, compared them with her body, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, shopkeeper! When will you start reading tonight?"
Ge Baoquan said with a smile: "There are already some guests outside. Miss Lin is going on stage for the first time. You can go out and get used to the place now. After a while, the seats should be full."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, please go and warm up the place first. I'll come out after changing my clothes."
"Okay, okay!" Ge Baoquan was staring at Liang Jingyao and his scalp was numb. As soon as he heard that Lin Xiaoyue agreed to come on stage now, he left the west wing in a hurry.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Liang Jingyao, who was still standing stupidly in the room, coughed twice, and said: "Ahem! Brother Liang, I need to change my clothes. Please go out for a moment."
Liang Jingyao scratched his head in embarrassment and took out a new mask that was as thin as cicada wings and looked like human skin. "There are many people outside, so you can wear a different mask and go out."
This was exactly what Lin Xiaoyue wanted. She happily took the mask and said, "Thank you, Brother Liang, and the subordinates of the man in black you have seen. Please change one yourself!"
"good!"
Liang Jingyao immediately took out another new mask and put it on his face. He took a few steps towards the door, suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "By the way, where are you hiding the man in black?"
Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand and wiped it on her neck, "Feed the dog!"
"You do better than me! I'll wait for you outside!"
Liang Jingyao gave a thumbs up and strode out of the room.
In the room, Lin Xiaoyue put on a new mask, then changed into men's clothes, tied up all her hair high, and inserted it with a wooden hairpin. She asked Liang Jingyao to buy this wooden hairpin on the street. It looked ordinary.
The wooden hairpin actually contains a secret!
When the head of the wooden hairpin is twisted, it can shoot out four silver needles at once. It can be twisted ten times in total, and a total of forty silver needles can be fired. The silver needles are highly poisonous and will kill you if touched; the tail of the wooden hairpin is pulled out
What came out was an extremely sharp bayonet, which was also coated with poison!
With such a secure and exquisitely designed wooden hairpin, Lin Xiaoyue believed that Liang Jingyao definitely did not buy it from a street stall, but no matter how she asked, Liang Jingyao refused to tell her, and in the end she had to give up, regardless of whether it was snatched or stolen.
, the key is to give it to yourself!
Lin Xiaoyue touched the wooden hairpin curiously, then walked over and opened the door, "Let's go, I've already done it."
Liang Jingyao took a look at the wooden hairpin on Lin Xiaoyue's head and was secretly happy. He had been worried that Lin Xiaoyue would not want to wear the wooden hairpin he gave her, but it seemed that she still liked it!
"Well, Yangming Town is very unsafe now, so be careful in everything you do!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, said "Okay", and then walked to the front yard.
The front yard is the place where storytellers drink tea. Lin Xiaoyue stood on the stage, picked up the fan on the desk and opened it with a bang. She said with a smile: "Today, Mr. Lin will tell you a story. It's agreed. Thank you for your hard work."
I’m giving you a reward; I apologize for not being honest! Today, the first move for newbies on the road, I’ll tell you a story about the journey of four masters and apprentices to the West!”
The guests in the audience preferred to listen to some gossip and porn stories, and were not that interested in telling stories. This cannot be blamed on these guests. The main reason is that Yangming Town is just a small place with low cultural literacy.
The smooth response worried Ge Baoquan, the shopkeeper. He even ran up to the stage to persuade in a low voice: "Miss Lin, for the first time, I told you something that men like to hear. Journey to the West sounds like a child's play."
Son, do you want to change it?"
Lin Xiaoyue is quite confident in the four major classics, especially Journey to the West, which is definitely loved by all ages and both men and women! How could such a good book not be popular?
She very calmly rejected Ge Baoquan's suggestion: "Shopkeeper, I can make a bet with you. If one guest runs away, I will compensate you for the tea money of ten guests, and I will keep you here for a month! If one guest
If you don't want to leave and the reward exceeds five thousand taels, then I will buy your teahouse at ten times the income tonight, what do you think?"
Ge Baoquan couldn't help but take a breath, ten times the price! If it's five thousand taels, then it's fifty thousand taels. If the income tonight is ten thousand taels, then he will have one hundred thousand taels! The store of this teahouse is rented, which is equal to
I only spent money on decorating tables, chairs and benches, but I was able to earn so much at once!
You must know that drinking tea and listening to books only cost five cents. After taking into account the tea money, the wages of the storyteller and waiter, and the rent, how can you earn so much in a year and a month?
On the contrary, if one guest comes, he can earn the money of ten tea guests. It costs five pennies for a guest to drink tea and listen to books. If there are ten guests, it will be fifty pennies. Today, because of things during the day, only twenty came in the evening.
Guest, that’s one thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver is one tael of silver, one tael a day, thirty taels a month, but if more people come, you can get more money, which is much more than what you usually earn.
!
Ha, since you won't suffer any loss, then block it!
Ge Baoquan readily agreed: "Okay! Just bet! I hope Miss Lin won't regret it!"
Of course Lin Xiaoyue will not regret it. She made this bet just because she wanted to buy this teahouse!
"Of course, shopkeeper, don't worry!"
Ge Baoquan walked back to the stage happily, completely losing his initial anxiety.
"Pa!" The fan was opened again, Lin Xiaoyue knocked on the wooden block at hand, and began to tell a story in a rough voice, "Speaking of which, in Huaguo Mountain in China, there is full of spiritual energy. There is a stone that has been nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years. One day
The stone made a loud bang, and a monkey jumped out of it. This monkey was brave and resourceful. He jumped into the waterfall that other monkeys dared not enter, and found a large water curtain cave on the mountain.
The monkeys were convinced and supported the monkey one after another. The monkey took over the mountain and became the king, calling himself the Monkey King..."
Lin Xiaoyue combined her hand movements and some unique ventriloquism skills to narrate the first two chapters of Journey to the West so vividly that the guests in the audience were mesmerized and felt as if they were actually there!
When Lin Xiaoyue finished and returned to the backstage, the guests discovered for the first time how the storytelling time passed so quickly? Could it be that the shopkeeper shortened the time on purpose?
"Shopkeeper, how come it's over so quickly? You fucking extorted our money!"
"Yes! Shopkeeper, please pay us the money, or we will continue to let the storyteller come out!"
"We can afford whatever money you want, sir. If you don't hear enough today, we won't leave!"
…
Spending money and swearing at people, Ge Baoquan was completely dumbfounded, because he also listened with great interest. However, Lin Xiaoyue said, "If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter." His heart felt like it was being broken down.
It's like scratching an itch, it's really painful!
But the incense on the desk has been burned. Is Miss Lin still willing to come out and talk? If she doesn't come out, can these guests let him go? It won't end well for him today!
