Chapter 7: Press Conference
Su Mo's song "Linjiang Immortal" detonated a heated discussion in Wuqing, but in the next few days, this Su Caizi was nowhere to be seen. Not only did he not show up, but his son Su Hong didn't go to the Han family teahouse to talk again.
This made a group of old customers of the Han family teahouse shout one after another, and also made the tea doctors of several other teahouses breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, if you continue to do this, it's hard to say whether everyone can get mixed up.
It's not easy for the tea doctors, which one is not struggling to live a mixed life? Now that this master has stopped for some reason, it is always good news for everyone.
But everyone also knows that this suddenly rising Su family boy, since he has made such a play, it is estimated that he will not give up easily.
Therefore, everyone is silently watching.
Sure enough, on this very day, the words finally came.
Quan Wuqing's Dr. Tea coincidentally received a letter. The content of the letter made the heated discussion that had calmed down a little in the past few days erupt again**.
"On the fifth day of the first month of March, Su Jiaxiaolang will hold a class in Sihailou in the city to teach new style of speech, and come with a manuscript of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" commentary version. ”
Storytelling?
That's right, it's storytelling. It is said that it was the name given by the Su family Xiaolang to the new style of speaking. The section of the Three Kingdoms that Su Xiaolang said in the Han Family Teahouse that day was said in this way of storytelling.
The tea doctors were excited.
What a man!
This Su family Xiaolang is really a benevolent and righteous gentleman!
Look at others, not only to get rich yourself, but also to bring everyone to get rich together. What is this called? Isn't this what Confucianism advocates: "The poor are good for themselves, and those who are good can help the world."
This must be praised, must be praised!
What do you say? There is a fee for the manuscript, and it is too expensive to charge 50 yuan for a book?
That's a book! In those days, whose collection of books is not based on thousands of dollars? Even the books sold in the study often start at hundreds or thousands of dollars. Is it too much to charge 50 yuan for the new manuscript that people have worked so hard to compile? Is it wrong?
Those who hold this argument were sprayed to death by everyone in an instant.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Sihai was dressed in a robe of a new member, standing in front of Sihailou with a smile and receiving him in person, his round fat face was full of red light, and his mouth was almost behind his ears.
Commenting on a book is also a book, isn't it? How can it be related to the word "text". Not to mention the real thing to send out today.
As the owner of Sihai Building, a mere businessman, Sun Sihai was really proud to be able to participate in such a grand event in the literary world.
I guess I've become famous in my life. Sihailou is very well managed, it is the first restaurant in Wuqing, and now with this event, there is an extra layer of literary halo invisibly, and in the future, the descendants of their own families will step into the ranks of "scholars", and they will have a head.
Thinking about this, and thinking about the young man upstairs, Sun Sihai greeted the visitor with a smile on his face, and admired the young man in his heart.
Unlike Sun Sihai's mood, Su Hong at this moment was a little uneasy and a little incomprehensible.
Fidgeting in the side room, from time to time the probe peeks out through the crack in the door. After a few times, he couldn't help but look back at the old god's son who was sipping tea, and said worriedly: "Mo'er, can this, this be done? If no one comes, or if there are not many comes, then, that ......."
Su Mo smiled slightly, got up and pulled his father to sit down, and said with a smile: "Daddy, just sit down, didn't you listen to the excitement below?" Besides, even if there are fewer people, I'm not afraid, and I made a big meal for nothing today, right?"
Su Hong was even more anxious when he heard this, his head was sweating, and he said angrily: "You bastard, you just think about a delicious meal." But don't forget, we still owe the money to the printing house, if there are few people and the books can't be sold, the house we mortgaged will be gone, and you and my father and son will not even have a place to live. Alas...... Having said that, I don't know what this grandson thinks, why is he willing to leave this banquet for nothing? I calculate, how can I get a dozen taels of silver after this meal. ”
Su Mo pouted and said, "Dad, are you really stupid as Sun Sihai? To know what happened today, it really made him a great reputation. Not to mention, dad remember who our invitation was?"
Su Hong was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Dad is not old and confused, aren't those tea doctors invited?" But these tea doctors are just like us, they are not rich, even if they are willing to buy books, they will not go to the printing workshop, what do they have to do with this grandson?"
Su Moha smiled, shook his head and said, "Dad, this is too sincere." Dad, believe it or not, the child bets, it won't just be those tea doctors who come today. ”
Su Hong was stunned and said in surprise: "Who else is coming? ”
A treacherous smile appeared on Su Mo's face, and he said, "Dad said this." Yes, didn't we invite someone else? However, with the previous episode of going back to the Han family, Dad, think about it, this time we made such a big scene, those proprietors of teahouses, shopkeepers, and those literati who were shocked by a child's song Linjiang Immortal, how could they not come to join in the fun, not come to see the freshness? These people didn't invite them, so when they came to this Sihailou, they couldn't just watch us eat and drink, they just sat down. And all these expenses, naturally, they also take care of themselves, in this way, think about it, is Sun Sihai losing or earning?"
Su Hong suddenly realized.
Old God Su Mo took a sip of the teacup and said, "This doesn't count. Dad, don't forget, we made an agreement with Sihailou, but the rest of the classes are held here by him. I invited this today's meal, but I didn't say that I would take care of the future meal. In this way, he Sihailou has an extra income out of thin air, so where will Sun Sihai suffer?"
Su Hong's mouth was open, and he looked at Su Mo blankly and said, "This ...... That's why you asked in the agreement that you want to share the profits related to you?"
Su Mo didn't speak, and nodded with a smile.
Su Hong was stunned for a while, sighed, and pointed at him with a wry smile: "You...... You are indeed not a scholar, I think you are a natural profiteer. This...... It's really ......"
Su Mo leaned back, lifted his robe and set up Erlang's legs, and said triumphantly: "I'm a profiteer, I'm proud, I eat with my brain, I don't steal or rob, what's wrong? Besides, this is a standard win-win, he and Sun Sihai have both fame and profit, and it is reasonable for me to share one or two profits from it and improve the lives of our grandfathers, isn't it? Could it be that my father doesn't want to live a good life, and he still wants to eat the pot water in the middle of the night?"
Su Hong was silent. He let out a sigh of relief, looked up at Su Mo, and said softly: "What you said is reasonable, but today you passed on this method of commenting on books and sold the manuscript, what should we do in the future? ”
Su Mo sat up straight, smiled weirdly, leaned over and whispered: "As long as you can always be one step ahead, isn't it the Three Kingdoms, the Water Margin, and the Three Suiping Demons and the like?" Dad, you say, if there is a new joke now, are you willing to listen to those old jokes that are getting tired of it, or are they new jokes?"
Su Hong was stunned, suddenly came to his senses, his body shook, and he pointed at Su Mo and said, "You...... You mean......"
Su Mo smiled slightly, nodded and was about to speak, but heard a sound of footsteps outside the door. Two knocks sounded, Sun Sihai pushed the door in with a sweat, his face was full of red light, he laughed, hugged his fists and smiled at the father and son of the Su family: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, the guests outside are almost here, how about the two of you move?"
Su Mo smiled and nodded and got up, but Su Hong was a little nervous, stepped over, reached out and grabbed Sun Sihai's robe sleeve, and asked urgently: "Outside Sun Yuan, outside...... How many people are coming out there?"
Sun Sihai snorted, laughing so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "The entire second floor is full, and even the lobby below is almost full, how many people does Mr. Su think it will be?" Haha, let's go, with Mr. Su's plan, Mr. just rest assured." This endless good day is just around the corner, Sun is really envious, and he hopes to bring his little brother one or two in the future. Hahaha......"
Su Hong heard this, exhaled a long breath, and his face softened. glancing at his son who was standing aside with a smile, he was polite and went out with the two.
As soon as I went out, I heard a loud wave of noise. When I turned the corner of the corridor, I opened the curtain and entered, but I saw that the hall was crowded and crowded. As the three mermaids rushed in, the entire second-floor seat was quiet at first, and then there was a bang.
