Brother so proud

Chapter 13 The First Pot of Gold

Time passed in He Ze's words, the scorching sun hung high, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.There were also many people coming to eat in the restaurant, seeing that it was surprisingly quiet, at first I was full of doubts, but after hearing a few words, I subconsciously restrained my voice.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the restaurant was already full of people.

He Ze on the high platform continued.Today he is wearing the clothes he used to wear when he was studying in the academy. In addition, he is born well, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, but he is also a good-looking talent with an outstanding bearing.

How could He Ze shrink back when he saw him before?

He didn't pay attention these days, but now he really looks like a scholar, but the eyebrows are two points more heroic than a scholar. In the past, the old people in the village also said that people's temperament will change when they die. Is it possible? Has it really come true to He Ze now?

That's a good thing, Aunt He Shuhe and Xiao An can breathe a sigh of relief in the future, Lin Yu thought to himself.

"At the foot of the Jinshan Mountain, there is a medicine shop named Baoantang on the bank of the West Lake. There is a medicine boy in the hall. His surname is Xu Mingxian, and his Chinese characters are well versed in medicine.

He Ze's voice came again, and Lin Yu gradually lost his mind.

"One day when Xu Xian traveled to the West Lake and encountered rain, he held up an umbrella to find a place to shelter from the rain. At this moment, he happened to see two sons, one blue and one white, on the broken bridge in front of him, covering their hair with their hands, coming towards him. Amidst the misty rain , I can only vaguely see that the man in white has black hair like a waterfall, looks like a fairy in the dust, and has a handsome demeanor that is not like ordinary people.

It was Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

Xu Xian was fascinated at the moment, walked forward in three steps, bowed and bowed, "this young master is also looking for shelter from the rain, if you don't mind, can you join Xiaosheng?" '"

"Snapped--"

Speaking of this unresolved point, He Ze's voice paused, and he slapped Xingmu in his hand, "I know what will happen next, everyone, please listen to the next chapter to break it down."

"It's over? Is that the end?"

Wei Quan was jolted back to his senses by the sound of Xingmu, and his expression was still full of meaning.

"Since it's over, didn't you just say the last paragraph? Do you think it's okay?"

There was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by deafening applause.

"Okay! Let's talk a little more! Tell a little more!"

"That's right, let's talk about it again! What happened next?"

"Yes, yes, what happens after this? Is Xu Xian a herb picker? Can Bai Suzhen recognize him? Besides, this is a human and a demon, so give us an ending!"

"..."

Many guests stood up, and some even left their seats. Twos and threes of money were thrown into the plate, and the sound of jingling was endless, mixed with applause and requests from the audience.

"Everyone, if I have time someday, I will come back and tell you the next story. Unfortunately, today, I have urgent matters at home, so I will leave first."

He Ze took out another copper plate from his belt and put it on the table. Even if he paid for the tea, he went straight out of the restaurant regardless of other people's persuasion.

For a moment, only the sound of sighs in the restaurant was heard.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment with the bamboo basket on his back, then raised his legs and chased after him.

Under the high platform, Wei Quan's apprentice looked at the plate covered with copper plates, and said cautiously, "Master, master, what should we do?"

He has never seen a master storyteller get so much money from a guest!So much, at least a penny, right?The apprentice swallowed, his eyes were full of golden light.

"...You just wait here, I'll go after you!"

"Hey, master—"

Wei Quan was stunned for a moment, then rushed out before he finished speaking, and there was no one in sight in the blink of an eye.The apprentice still wanted to call him, but he stopped his voice as soon as he called out a name, and stared at the plate with his head down for a moment, smiling so hard that his teeth couldn't see.

……

Outside the restaurant, He Ze didn't go far, just stood in front of the vendors a few feet away, playing with small ornaments such as beads and flowers on the stalls with great interest.

Although the men in this world are not women, most of them still have a little more thought of "looking for the one who pleases themselves" than men. Although they are not fancy, they also like to dress themselves up.

However, the green plum He Bao'er in the original body in memory probably belonged to the very few who like to show off. Every time I saw him, I would smear my face with powder, and the powder would fall off when I spoke, which is also rare for the original body. Qing Qi.

Concentrating on his thoughts, He Ze picked up a silver hairpin on the stall, with a red plum blooming at the end of the hairpin. Although it looks a bit vulgar from a modern point of view, it is superior in its simple craftsmanship, which has a special aesthetic feeling.

Let Father He give it to Ah Mu, and Ah Mu might have a good time.

"He Ze, where did you hear that story just now?" Did Bai Suzhen find a benefactor afterwards?

Lin Yu quickly chased after him, but he still held back what he wanted to ask so much.

"..."

He Ze's expression remained unchanged, and he handed the hairpin in his hand to Lin Yu, "How about this?"

"Hey, Mr. Xiao Lang picked this up for his wife, right?" Before Lin Yu could answer, the stall owner opened his mouth first, pointing at Lin Yu next to He Ze with a smile on his face, "I have never seen a long man in so many years." Such a handsome brother, Mr. Lang has a good eye, this plum blossom hairpin is perfect for him!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm not his wife!" Lin Yu frowned, and the owner of the stall couldn't say anything. He turned his head, "By the way, He Ze, why haven't you gone to the academy yet?" ? It's already noon now..."

"Wait someone."

"what?"

"I said I'm waiting for someone here," He Ze's voice paused, and he looked over Lin Yu's head, "Look, here we come."

Lin Yu turned his head suspiciously. In the distance, Wei Quan was running here out of breath. He seemed to have seen them, and shouted as he ran, "Wait, the one in front! Stop! Stop... ..."

"What are you waiting for him to do?"

"Of course it's waiting for him to give me the money." He Ze said inexplicably, seeing that Wei Quan had approached, he walked up to meet him, "Mr. Wei is chasing me?"

"Yes, no... that's right!" Wei Quan finally stopped, gasping for words, and continued after a while, "Small, Mr. Wei, I offended you just now, please forgive me, as for the story just now , Mr. Xiao, can you tell me the follow-up?"

"Sir, I can't bear the word. My surname is He. You can just call me He Ze. As for the follow-up..." He Ze raised his eyebrows, and Lin Yu looked suspiciously around the two of them.

"Of course Wei doesn't want to get it for nothing, as long as Xiao--brother He is willing to tell Wei the whole story just now, and Wei is willing to pay, and pay three qian to buy it!" Wei Quan raised his hand with the expression of a strong man breaking his wrist. up three fingers.

There are two sources of money for a storyteller, one is the hire money from the restaurant, and the other is the reward from the customers. Recently, the customers have not responded well, and the shopkeeper has talked to him many times. I am afraid that if it continues, he will need to start again I found a restaurant, but I ran out of goods in my stomach, wouldn't it be the same wherever I went?

Now this is a great opportunity!

Just look at the reaction after this person said something today, he didn't even make gestures, and his voice didn't change much. The audience has such great enthusiasm based on the content of the story alone. If he can improve it by then, he will earn money Aside from being full of bowls, his status in the industry is probably not the same.

A profitable trade!

"Three qian? Mr. Wei, are you joking? I'm afraid that the guests on the plate just now gave more than one qian as a reward, right? 'The First Encounter in the West Lake' is only the first episode of 'Legend of the White Snake', and there is still more left." Forty rounds."

Wei Quan's eyes brightened a bit, but then, as if he suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, "'Legend of the White Snake'? So Brother He planned this in advance, and set a trap for Wei!"

I came here prepared, first I made the guest's dissatisfaction clear, and then I went to the stage and gave him a speech to let him see the enthusiasm of the guest. In the end... I'm afraid I was waiting for him here on purpose, right?

As long as he is not short-sighted, he will definitely follow!

"You can't say that, everyone gets what they need, what does Mr. Wei think?"

Wei Quan stared fixedly at He Ze, then clasped his hands together and said, "It's Wei who looks good. Although Jiang is old and hot, I didn't expect Brother He to be young, but he is very thoughtful. However, Wei One thing is unclear, since Brother He can write such a good story, why doesn't he tell it himself? You have to..." You have to sell it to me?

Wei Quan didn't finish his sentence, but He Ze naturally understood the unfinished meaning. He paused and said, "I didn't write this story, it was passed down from mountain to field, and I just heard it by accident. As for why you don't tell it yourself, it's natural Because I believe that Mr. Wei can speak better than me."

This is probably one out of ten reasons, and the other nine out of ten are probably...he doesn't like it?

"So that's how it is," said Wei Quan's eyes in an obvious situation, "Then, Brother He, do you want to make a price?"

"Three or two."

He Ze also extended three fingers, but the price was ten times higher.Lin Yu on the side looked at him in disbelief. When did money become so easy to earn? !

"This... this won't work! This is too much, you are robbing three taels of silver!" Wei Quan immediately shook his head after hearing that three taels of silver immediately disappeared, "No, no, three taels of silver is too much Yes! How can I afford so much money! At most... at most one tael of silver!"

Wei Quan clenched his fist and raised only one index finger.

"In this way, it is fate that Mr. Wei and I met in the restaurant today, so how about a compromise, how about taking a step back? Two taels of silver, Mr. Wei also saw it today. After the 'Legend of the White Snake' is finished, I am afraid it is only The guest's support money will only be much more than this amount, and... the guests like to listen to Mr. Wei's books, the restaurant is busy, and Mr. Wei can go to the restaurant shopkeeper to discuss the hiring money, right?"

"In the final analysis, Mr. Wei won't lose money."

Wei Quan was silent in thought, his brows wrinkled into a ball.Two taels of silver is not a small number, but he knows it in his heart, this is indeed a profitable business, it depends on whether he is willing to part with it or not.

"you……"

"To be honest, He is injured and needs money urgently." He Ze raised his finger and pointed to his forehead wrapped in cotton cloth, "If Mr. Wei still needs to think about it, then He Ze can only go to the next restaurant. The next storyteller is here, I believe there will always be a gentleman who will not let me down."

After finishing speaking, He Ze didn't wait for Wei Quan's answer, turned around and took a step, and Lin Yu hurriedly followed.

"Wait... wait a minute! I promise!"

Seeing the backs of He Ze and Lin Yu getting farther and farther away, Wei Quan finally couldn't help shouting, and when He Ze stopped, he immediately chased after him, "I, I promise you, two taels of silver Just two taels of silver!"

I can't bear to have a child without a wolf!

As soon as Wei Quan's words came out, Lin Yu was stunned immediately, looking at He Ze beside him full of surprise, as if meeting him for the first time.

"Two taels of silver, you tell me this story, complete and complete, with every detail... Yes, you have to tell me only one, and you can't tell other storytellers, how about it?"

"Of course."

He Ze had a smile on his face.

The group of three returned to Yu's restaurant again, and Wei Quan paid two taels of silver to the shopkeeper. Because the story clearly couldn't be finished at once, the two signed the contract in black and white. He Ze went to the restaurant every three days to tell Wei Quan how many times later That's it.

When He Ze walked out of the restaurant with two taels of silver, Lin Yu had to believe that it was true.He stared at He Ze closely for a long while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "He Ze, how did you do it?"

The author has something to say: He Ze: Mr. Wei is chasing me.

Lin Yu: Mr. Wei?Which Mr. Wei?Where is Mr. Wei from?He Ze, you... you bastard!

After a burst of crackling, He Ze with a bruised nose and swollen face: Daughter-in-law, I was wrong QAQ

Author: Hahahahaha... hiccup

Laughing and getting angry~ I want my baby to hug and hold me high~
