Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 273

The guests at this table are discussing when the "Daming Times" will be released.

The middle-aged member looked in the direction of the lobby platform and was surprised.

"Isn't that old Yutou? Why did you come to this restaurant to tell stories?"

This old, middle-aged member has seen him several times.

When he was eating in another restaurant, he could see Lao Yutou talking in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant from time to time.

Because what Old Yutou said was vivid and interesting, as if he was actually there.

The middle-aged member even tipped old Yutou once.

Therefore, the middle-aged staff members have a deep impression of this old man.

However, isn't this old man telling stories in a restaurant?
The restaurant owner doesn't want him anymore?

He just ran to this restaurant to make a living?

But when the middle-aged staff think about it carefully, it shouldn't be!
This old man's level of storytelling is ranked high in the capital, how can a restaurant owner be willing to drive him away, wishing to confess to the God of Wealth.

This time, the middle-aged staff member was a little confused.

If Old Yutou, who was arranging things on the table in the lobby, heard the middle-aged staff say this, Old Yutou might be a little dissatisfied.

What storyteller?

He is no longer the storyteller he used to be, he is now a newspaper reader.

Old Yutou was very proud of his new status as a newspaper reader, and he held his head high when he went out, even more proud than before.

What is a storyteller? It is a profession that is not much different from the three religions and nine streams, and its social status is low.

But old Yutou is different now.

He is a newspaper reader.

They are those who eat the imperial food and belong to the government.

In the words of the propaganda department, he is a well-organized person.

And old Yutou had inquired about it, the level of the propaganda department was not low.

At least it won't weaken the other third-rank yamen.

Think about it, he is very old, he is going to be buried in the ground, and he has been talking about it for half his life.

Unexpectedly, in the few days, there will be a second spring in life.

A pie in the sky hit him directly on the head.

The imperial court wants to incorporate him!

From then on, he was a member of the imperial court.

Such a great good thing made Lao Yutou, who was informed of the news at that moment, almost die of excitement on the spot.

No way, he was too excited.

An ordinary commoner who was half buried in the loess suddenly became a member of the government. Who would not be excited when such a good thing happened.

Now that Lao Yutou thought of the scene when he heard the news, he couldn't help being a little excited, his blood pressure was high, and his face was flushed.

Lao Yutou's excited mood soon calmed down.

He had just ushered in a happy life. If he got excited and his blood pressure soared, it would be bad for him to die on the spot.

He still wants to live for a few more years, it seems that he can't be too emotional in the future, he has to calm down.

Old Yutou warned himself in his heart.

In the past few days, the propaganda department has recruited storytellers in the capital.

Except for a small number of people who paid attention to this news, most ordinary people did not care.

natural.

The middle-aged staff had no way of knowing that Lao Yutou had been recruited by the imperial court and became a newspaper reader.

The exclamation of the middle-aged staff soon attracted the attention of friends at the table.

Everyone looked towards the center of the lobby table, and they saw an old man.

The scholar asked curiously: "Is that old Yutou? Do you know him?"

The middle-aged staff member nodded and explained.

"Old Yutou was a storyteller at Laifu Restaurant before, and I met him a few times."

After hearing what the middle-aged member said, everyone immediately understood.

But the scholar frowned, a little confused.

"Didn't he tell stories in Laifu Restaurant? Why did he leave this small restaurant? Was he kicked out by the owner of Laifu Restaurant?"

Forehead!
The middle-aged member shook his head.

"I don't know that."

At this moment, a voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Everyone doesn't know yet, old Yutou is no longer a storyteller!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table was stunned.

Especially the middle-aged members, with a confused look on their faces.

Whether Old Yutou is a storyteller or not, he still doesn't know, he has heard old Yutou storyteller several times.

and.

Isn't Lao Yutou making preparations for the opening right now?

Soon he will be a storyteller, how can he not be a storyteller?
The middle-aged staff couldn't figure it out, and the others were also puzzled.

Everyone looked at Fatty Lin, wondering why he said that Old Yutou was no longer a storyteller.

Everyone thought silently in their hearts, it seems that Fatty Lin knows some inside information.

Fatty Lin lived up to his name, with a big round head and a big belly that looked like he was pregnant for ten months. Because of these two characteristics, Fatty Lin's nickname has been fixed on him ever since.

The reason why Fatty Lin knew that Old Yutou was no longer a storyteller was because he knew something.

Fatty Lin owns a small restaurant. For the business of the restaurant, he also invites storytellers to his restaurant to attract customers.

Everything was fine at first, but suddenly three days ago, the storyteller in his restaurant found Fatty Lin and said that he would not come again, so he came here to say something.

At that time, Fatty Lin was shocked, thinking that the other party disliked the low salary.

Fatty Lin couldn't let the other party leave, every time he told stories, he could attract many customers to the restaurant.

Therefore, Fatty Lin was willing to raise his salary immediately, just so that the other party could stay.

But the other party shook his head, unmoved at all, and looked determined to leave.

Fatty Lin thought it was because he didn't add enough bargaining chips, so he said that he could raise his salary further.

But soon, Fatty Lin realized something was wrong.

Because when he said he was willing to raise his salary, Fatty Lin found that the other party looked flat.

This time, Fatty Lin couldn't figure it out.

Didn't the other party leave because of the low salary, which has nothing to do with money?

Fatty Lin asked the other party the reason, why did he leave?

After the other party's explanation, Fatty Lin suddenly realized.

It turned out to be incorporated by the imperial court.

No wonder the other party would leave even if he increased the money.

After understanding the reason, Fatty Lin could understand the other party's thoughts very well.

The other party was originally an ordinary craftsman, with a skill in his body, and no worries about food and clothing.

But after all, his social status is low, and everyone may not respect him.

But it's different now.

The other party was recruited by the imperial court, which was equivalent to becoming a member of the government, and his social status was suddenly raised.

To put it bluntly, I am a member of the government, so I don't know how many people will envy me.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Fatty Lin is a little envious.

Although he is rich, he is the owner of a restaurant.

But the social status of merchants is not high in Ming Dynasty, it can even be said to be very low.

When people talk about businessmen, they will yell at mercenaries and cunning villains. In short, there is nothing good to say.

So when the other party wanted to leave, Fatty Lin understood.

To be honest, Fatty Lin is very envious of the other party, and will be under the protection of the government in the future.

So, Fatty Lin agreed to the other party's request without thinking too much.

Besides, the other party is someone wanted by the imperial court, how dare he not let him go.
