Take the mall to Datang

The teahouse closed earlier today, in order to provide storytellers with an opportunity to be assessed. In order not to embarrass these people on stage for the first time, the teahouse closed early. Yuan Shan, Hao Dayi, Ma Zhou and others have not yet left become their audience.

So the three came up and each of them told a piece of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was not exciting but the story was very attractive. Ma Zhou said: "Yuan Pushe, this is a story between Wei, Shu and Wu of the Three Kingdoms. It's really unbelievable. Although Xiaguan has not read all 65 volumes of "Book of Wei", [-] volumes of "Shu Shu", and [-] volumes of "Wu Shu", a total of [-] volumes, he has read some of them, and he is really surprised by the storytelling. It's too big."

"Ma Zhou, why don't you just listen to folk tales? Just tell me how these stories sound intuitively." Yuan Shan really couldn't do anything about these ancient people, so he decided to ask his senses directly. up.

"The story is very novel and attractive," said Ma Zhou.

"Haha, I just like an upright person like you." Yuan Shan said.

Hao Dayi said from the side: "Yuan Pushe, I think this story is very good, at least I haven't heard enough of it, I'm going to invite these people to listen to the following story tomorrow."

There are still some Guozijian students staying here in the Ministry of Economics and Development. They are very young and they like this kind of story even more. Yuan Shan can see that they like it very much, but it's just because of face. I am afraid that these young people will applaud here.

"What the three of you said is okay, but it's okay. You should do it first, and keep all the stories in this book in your mind as soon as possible. Starting tomorrow, you will be divided into three hours, each of you at a fixed time every day. You need to explain in a paragraph, the progress should be consistent from the beginning, and you should pay more attention when you tell the book, not for the sake of telling the story, but to make the guests who come to the teahouse attracted by your story, and it is best to make them feel They can be integrated into the story." Yuan Shan said.

The three of them thanked each other, and that Guozijian student has learned a lot of storytelling skills in the past few days. This is not to say how good the three people's stories are, but their devotion to storytelling has affected the young scholar.

The story of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very long, but the group of four is inseparable for the time being. They have to explain it every day, and it is repeated for three times, which means that the content explained by the three people needs to be the same. But no, the young scholar quickly realized this problem, so the four of them got together to study after stepping down.

After everyone left, Hao Dayi stayed behind and said, "Yuan Pushe, the stories in this book are very attractive, can you lend this book to the lower officials to read."

Hao Dayi smiled obsequiously, and Yuan Shan said: "Tomorrow, it's fine if you can't listen to the book. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It's interesting to experience the good things slowly. Besides, the economics and development department doesn't work much recently, and you still have time to read these things. Books, how about setting aside an hour every day to organize people from the Economic Development Department to listen to the books, but you have to pay for the tea, if you don’t come to listen, then work hard.”

Hao Dayi's heart sank immediately. He didn't expect that this superior official would be so ruthless that he would even earn money from his subordinates, but it's actually good to have an hour's rest time. It's nothing compared to the money for tea. When he thinks about tomorrow He was very happy to hear Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Okay, the next official will notify you right away, everything is voluntary." Hao Dayi said.

Seeing that Hao Dayi had just left, Yuan Shan reminded: "Don't forget that your performance also involves the year-end bonus. If you think you can complete the performance, you can do whatever you want."

Hao Dayi almost fell down when he heard it, such a powerful reminder definitely hit everyone's heart.

The next day when the teahouse opened for business, they deliberately set off a few bangs, and the good neighbors saw someone beating the gong outside the teahouse and shouted: "Guest officials are welcome to listen to books in the teahouse. Today's event, all tea is half price."

The boy beat the gong and started wandering on the street for a while, instantly attracting the attention of many people. Many of these good-natured people want to come in and see if there is a new gadget, and the half-price tea is quite attractive. , because this means that the high-grade tea is also half price.

"Go to Yuanlai Tea House, it's half price for a few days, didn't you say you want to try Kung Fu tea." The people with good deeds began to instigate their friends to taste tea.

Some people came into the teahouse just to watch the fun. When Yuan Shan came, he saw that the teahouse was doing well and there were quite a lot of people. They didn't enter through the main entrance, and chose the building above the office door.

The teahouse soon became full of people, the servants serving tea were busy all the time, and the stewards of the teahouse came out to help deal with it.

"The manager of the tea house, didn't he say that there will be storytellers today, when will it start?" someone shouted.

"Don't worry about being objective, let's start right away." The manager of the teahouse said.

The manager of this teahouse is an employee employed by the Ministry of Economic Development. He has a good sales performance in the store, so he was transferred here to be in charge of the teahouse business. When someone asked him, he walked up to the stage and said into the microphone: "Welcome to come objectively during your busy schedule." Tea tasting in the teahouse, today is the first day of the event, so the teahouse specially provides a free melon seed for each table, and then Mr. Dong Cheng, the storyteller in charge of the morning, will come on stage to bring you a performance."

Hearing that there are free melon seeds again, the gratification is even more joyful, as for the short time of waiting, I don't talk about it.

Dong Cheng came out today not in commoner clothes but in a satin gown. He still held a folding fan in his hand. On the stage was a small table with a gavel and a few pieces of paper. , a teapot, it looks like something famous.

"Dong Cheng, a storyteller from Yuanlai Tea House, today I will present to you a folk oral story from the Wei, Shu and Wu periods. It is called Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I hope you will like it." Dong Cheng was very sophisticated, and he practiced just this opening For a while.

"歘!" As soon as the fan was opened, the four characters Romance of the Three Kingdoms appeared on it.

"For the first time, the Taoyuan hero three knots beheaded the yellow scarf hero and made meritorious service. It is said that the general trend of the world, long-term division must be united, and long-term union must be divided..."

There is no "Linjiang Immortal" in the opening scene, which was ordered by Yuan Shan. This is the finale, and it cannot be revealed in this way.

With a slap of the gavel, Dong Cheng immediately drew shouts from the crowd after speaking for the first time.

"keep going……"

"Why is it gone, let's talk about it."

"It's a good speech, watch it."

"Isn't Dong Cheng a vegetable seller in the market?"

"What is this old man holding in his hand? I like it more and more the more I look at it."

The scene was chaotic, and the people gathered on the first floor began to yell. When the teahouse saw the situation, those who should collect money received money, and those who should serve tea served tea, and they went on stage and said a few more words.

Dong Cheng returned to the backstage, his back was wet, and the other three people who had been watching backstage didn't expect the reverse to be so enthusiastic.

"Uncle Dong, it seems that you are going to be famous." Qin Chuyi and Li Tian said on the side, their hearts were even more excited.

Chapter 541 The Rise of a New Industry

"Mr. Dong, this is the reward from the guest just now. According to the employment contract, it has been withdrawn. This is the six guan money. You have collected it, and there is another work to do." The tea steward came over and said.

Dong Cheng is holding six pennies, you know how heavy it is, he can’t believe it now like a dream, he earned six pennies with just one lecture, this is how long it took him to earn it .

Qin Chuyi and Li Tian on the side were also stunned. They didn't expect such a treatment for storytellers. You must know that Yuanlai Teahouse's monthly payment is already quite a lot. This time, the reward is dozens of times the monthly payment. .

"Boss, can you put the money in the teahouse for safekeeping for me first?" Dong Cheng was excited but still very reasonable, he would not delay his next stage.

"Okay, don't worry." The steward of the teahouse gave him a reassuring answer.

The scholar on the side saw this and immediately thought of what Yuan Shan said, that is to do what you do and love what you do, so that it is easy to get results. He has seen the performance of these three people in the past few days, and he said this for a while. He only earned six guan dollars, not counting the tea house commission, this is definitely a model in the industry.

Immediately took out a small notebook and started to record. These are the habits of the staff of the Economic Development Department, and all experience and things need to be recorded.

The scholar's name is Li Yan. He is a student of the Imperial College. During his studies, he prefers to read some miscellaneous books. He became a member of the Economic and Development Department after being screened at all levels.

He didn't think about how to get someone to deliver it, so he knew to work hard first. Today, because he is a participant of the storyteller, he has witnessed the direct connection between hard work, success and opportunity.

As a witness, he decided to record all these deeds. Perhaps at this time he was just out of bookishness or the impulse of a young man, but he never thought that he would achieve something because of his actions.

Dong Cheng once again came to the stage and once again aroused applause from the audience.

Hao Dayi has been watching it all the time, and just after doing some statistics, he found that the commission for listening to books is higher than the profit for selling tea.

"Push melon seeds, half-price promotion, go and find out." Hao Dayi said.

Adjusting strategies based on data is something that senior officials of the Ministry of Economic Development often do.

If the tea income is not high, then look for it from snacks. Seeing that those people like to eat melon seeds, it is quite appropriate to eat while listening.

These sunflower seeds are all wholesaled from Lanhe Village. The sunflower seeds that Mali is organizing villagers to plant are now sold at tea stalls everywhere.

It’s just that the quantity is not too much. In addition to melon seeds, there are also peanuts, dates, etc. Teahouses not only have tea, but also juice drinks, fruit wine, and cola drinks. The quantity is not many but fortunately they are complete.

The food provided meets the daily needs of the staff of the Ministry of Economic Development, and it can also make money through sales. Such an approach is definitely something that can only be done by the staff of the Ministry of Economic Development.

One morning, after Dong Cheng finished his two chapters of the book, the tea manager announced the end of the storytelling, and introduced to everyone that there are three storytelling sessions every day, and the chapters told in different time periods are the same, so as long as you know the time, you will not miss the story.

The storytelling is over for the time being, but the guests in the teahouse are starting to discuss, they are all talking about the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, especially the story that the three brothers in Taoyuan will do something big after they get married, which is very attractive. .
