On this day, Jia Cong did not return home after school. Instead, at the invitation of the Prince of Chu, he went to Huibin Tower to listen to the storytelling, which was "The Richest Man in the World" that had become increasingly popular recently.
It was a little funny in his heart. He didn't believe that Si Ding didn't know that Huibin Building was the property of his younger brother Xue Pan's family?
So, he simply brought Xue Pan with him, along with a group of his younger brothers who were closer to him, the same five who passed the Tongsheng exam last year.
"Brother Chunran, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to listen to storytelling?"
After meeting, Jia Cong asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to have a Bawang meal?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the timid Xue Pan and said funnyly: "This is the owner of Huibin House, my younger brother Xue Pan!"
At the same time, the other five younger brothers were introduced. These guys did not have the same spirit of talking and laughing as Jia Cong. They all bowed their eyebrows and said hello to Si Ding.
"Haha, you don't have to be polite!"
Smiling and waving his hands, Si Ding said angrily: "Am I that kind of person? This is not the place to talk. Let's talk about it in the private room!"
With that said, Hui and Jia Cong went to the private room on the third floor. After everyone was seated, he smiled and said: "Today's storytelling is not ordinary. I don't want to see the audience's reaction, but also to keep it in mind."
Countless!"
Jia Cong smiled lightly and said nothing. He first signaled to the younger brothers to feel free to enjoy it. He picked up a plate of exquisite snacks and enjoyed them. He was not idle at all. He said with a smile: "It's not like Brother Chunran didn't see the audience feedback in Huibinlou.
No need to worry so much..."
Today's storyteller is about the time when pig-footed Liu Dafu in "The Richest Man in the World" grew from a gang member to a gang boss, and the storyline changed a lot.
Or to be more precise, the content of storytelling starting from today begins to slowly expose some of the methods of salt merchants, rather than simply struggling to climb up.
When the lanterns first came on, the entire reception building was already bustling and crowded, and guests were still coming in one after another.
No way, only the Huibinlou family can hear the latest storytelling chapter of "The Richest Man in the World".
In order to be able to listen first and be quick, the business of Huibinlou is naturally very good.
As for other restaurants and teahouses in the capital, they also released the supply at Huiyou Bookstore, and authorized other booksellers to follow up quickly after publishing it, which also attracted a lot of listeners.
To put it bluntly, the latest novel of "San Shao Cong" has now become a favorite in the storytelling circles in Beijing. It can easily turn an ordinary storyteller into a famous speaker, and at the same time, it can also boost the business of his restaurant and teahouse.
It can be said that during the storytelling update period, one person drove the business of the entire industry chain of restaurants and teahouses in Beijing, and the amount of money involved was measured in units of ten thousand taels.
Apart from other things, the Huibin Restaurant where I am currently located has suddenly jumped from a mid-range restaurant to a high-end restaurant with the help of a few of his novels, and it is also a very well-known one.
I didn’t see the so-called ordinary guests on the first floor. All of them were dressed neatly and brightly. It was obvious that their financial strength was not bad at all.
Just like that, the entire first floor was packed, and even the aisles were filled with guests who had temporarily added seats, all coming to listen to the latest episode of "The Richest Man in the World".
"I hope the situation is within our expectations, otherwise..."
Shaking his head, the Crown Prince of Chu showed a rare solemn look, obviously not very sure about what was going to happen next.
Listening carefully to the conversation between the boss and the Prince of Chu, except for Xue Pan who didn't hear the smell, the other five confidants were all uneasy. They didn't know what the boss and the Prince of Chu were talking about, and why they felt so dangerous.
What does it look like?
Without further ado, when the sky was completely dark, the entire Huibin Building was already brightly lit, and the most famous talker in Beijing, Kuai Zui Lao Li, also took the stage to start today's storytelling program.
Soon, with the clap of the gavel, the melodious and contagious voice of 'Kuai Zui Lao Li' sounded, and the originally noisy reception building immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
Sure enough, the story of "The Richest Man in the World" that day talked about the plot of Liu Dafu, a pig-footed man who had become the third figure in the salt gang, and colluded with the salt farm to do business and oppress the kitchen households, which caused quite a shock in the audience.
Although Liu Dafu, the pig's trotter, is still decisive and ruthless, he is different from his previous hard-working and positive attitude. This time he plays the image of a gang bully.
The evil deeds use force to oppress the poor salt farm households, and even go so far as to injure and kill people in order to lower the purchase price of private salt!
Such behavior definitely violates the moral bottom line generally recognized by the public, and is despised by all listeners.
Only then did the audience realize that the pig-footed Liu Dafu in "The Richest Man in the World" was an out-and-out private salt dealer. His business itself was illegal and was not tolerated by national law.
This time, the storybook touches on the origin of private salt, the difficult life of salt farm households, and the methods used by salt gangs to sell private salt. It is full of interesting information that makes people think deeply.
Such content can be regarded as a dark place where sunlight cannot shine. The plot is real and believable, but it makes the audience feel frustrated and unhappy.
Normal people, no one likes these dark plots, and they gradually began to change their attitude towards Liu Dafu, a pig-footed man who recognized his previous struggles.
The end of a chapter of commentary did not arouse the resonance of the audience as usual, with laughter and discussion, but it was still so quiet that one could hear clear breathing.
this……
In such a situation, even the "quick-tongued old Li", who was always known for his clever and eloquent speech, changed his expression slightly and was at a loss.
This was the first time he encountered such a situation after reading the novel "Cong San Shao".
The entire reception building was eerily quiet for a moment.
"Don't be impatient!"
In the private room on the third floor, Jia Cong smiled slightly and softly comforted his uneasy younger brother. Si Ding, the Crown Prince of Chu, who was about to speak, said leisurely: "It's just a normal phenomenon. There is no need to worry!"
In modern times, I have been baptized by countless online novels, so I naturally know what the current situation is.
The audience was simply shocked by the plot and the bloody and cold content, making them feel uncomfortable and unable to accept it for a while.
Sure enough, not long after, the depressive dullness in the Huibin Building was broken by a loud shout: "This Liu Dafu is really not a toy. He will run rampant when he gets his way. He will show no mercy to the salt farm households with similar backgrounds to him. He is simply a pig and a dog."
Not as good as that!”
As soon as this statement came out, it was like opening the floodgates, and all kinds of dissatisfied remarks suddenly poured out like a flood.
"Indeed, I thought Liu Dafu was a good and motivated guy before, but I didn't expect him to be such a thing. It's really annoying!"
"That's right. I also agreed with Liu Dafu before. I didn't expect that this guy would become such a thing once he became powerful. I really didn't expect it!"
"I've known for a long time that this would be the case. How can I be a good person by actively following a guy who sells illegal salt?"
