Seeing that Shopkeeper Chen was not so busy, Erya casually asked about his family's tribute tea: "Have the melon slices been selected by the emperor?" ”

As soon as the shopkeeper Chen heard Erya talk about the melon slices that were sent to the palace to review the tribute tea, he immediately came to his senses, walked a few steps closer to Erya and whispered: "What a famous teacher is a high apprentice!" My family's melon slices were given tribute tea without much effort. I heard that this time, in addition to my melon slices, many other prefectures and cities have sent roasted tea to judge the tribute tea. This time only my family has passed easily, and it is estimated that there will be more next year, and it may be more and more difficult for this roasted tea to review the tribute tea. We're taking advantage of the opportunity! ”

Er Ya listened to the words of the shopkeeper Chen, and was not surprised, she originally planned to figure out some famous teas from another world. Later, after some incidents, I found this man! You can't be too greedy, you have to give people a mouthful of soup to drink when you eat meat. On the other hand, the Han people in the Central Plains have always been flexible and intelligent, although they are limited by their own conservative ideas and are not good at innovation, but they are good at figuring out new things that have appeared, that is, imitation. There have been many ridiculous things in Erya's original world - the things that people imitate are even better than the original products, and the original products are mistaken for counterfeits.

When they knew that the tea could still be fried, Erya stopped for a few years, and the time of these years was enough for those tea masters to figure out the fried green tea. In two years' time, it won't be surprising that those masters will make green tea that is 'better than blue'. It is difficult for a layman to be like the heavens, and an insider can know the trick just by looking at it.

Erya understood. Shopkeeper Chen understands better. Therefore, neither of them has the same roasted tea because of so many years, and they have participated in the review of tribute tea. And surprised. Erya has more things to develop and make money than tea, so she doesn't plan to put more energy into tea. And the shopkeeper Chen can support the façade because he has a kind of tea as a tribute, and if he has more, he will become a leader in the tea industry, which is famous but not necessarily profitable. Therefore, he also thinks that it is good to make his own tea fine and refined, and he can't spare energy to study new tea products for the time being.

Erya finally let go of what she had been concerned about. She nodded very happily and said, "As long as your family's tea leaves are reviewed through guò tribute tea, we can't control the rest." There is a heaven out of the sky! I knew that there were a lot of powerful people, and I really took advantage of the opportunity. Otherwise. In this tea industry, how can I have Liu Erya's deposit! ”

"You don't have to be presumptuous, at least you came up with it yourself. There are so many masters, who are drying and steaming, why haven't they thought about frying?! So, ah. It comes down to your own work. Shopkeeper Chen spoke. Suddenly, the tone of conversation changed, and he asked: "I heard that your shop is still in your name, what's the matter, are you going to keep it in your own hands all the time?" ”

Erya shook her head and replied to him: "That's not true! That's what I think, first of all! Whether Xiaolong can be admitted to the Jinshi and whether he can be an official in the future are all unknown. Now it's a little unnecessary to think about that. Come next! Even if he is admitted to the Jinshi and has the opportunity to be an official, then it will take eighty, nine, or ten years, right? At that time, it will be too late to deal with it. I'm busy tossing now, I think it's early. Then, if he really becomes an official, and our business does hinder him, even if he doesn't want to transfer, I heard that there is another way, and it is okay to split up. ”

When the shopkeeper Chen heard Erya say the division lightly, he said with some hatred: "Divide the family!?" Do you know that once you split up, half of your family's income will be handed over to the government as various taxes?! ”

Er Ya asked incomprehensibly: "If you can't do business, isn't it that the other half of your income is gone?" If you put your own things in the hands of others, if people are greedy, isn't it more troublesome? So, after thinking about it, I think it's better not to be so troublesome, so as not to hurt others and yourself when you get it! ”

Shopkeeper Chen finally understood what Erya meant, first, she wanted to do business and didn't want to lose her business. The second is that I don't want to put my own things in the hands of others. According to what Erya usually says, it is called 'insecure!' ’

After all, he is an old man who has lived for decades, so he can naturally understand Erya's mentality, so he no longer persuaded anything, but just sighed. Because his family does not have a junior with good academic talent, he is extremely envious and attaches great importance to the talent of the Erya family who has a younger brother who is expected to enter the officialdom.

In the past, when his grandfather was an official, he didn't think it was good to be an official, but when he came back, he brought a few tea masters from the south, so he resigned and started a tea merchant. And after these generations, they learned that the family can make a lot of money without a business, but they must be supported by an official in the officialdom. At present, his family's business has achieved this kind of process, and there will still be small officials who come to eat, drink, take, and ask from time to time. If there is even a county magistrate at home to support it, it can make those claws dare not stretch out casually.

However, Liu Yatou, a child, didn't care, and would rather split up than grasp the business and not give up. However, if Xiaolong can really be an official, even if he splits the family, he can more or less deter those young people who are cheap and shallow-eyed, right?!

Maybe that's why people from two different worlds have different priorities.

They haven't finished their story here, and the storyteller over there has ended. Shopkeeper Chen really wanted Erya to go up and talk about what kind of good way she said that storytelling is very good!

Erya was annoyed by her impulsiveness and just wanted to pump her two big ears, but when she saw that the shopkeeper Chen personally went into battle to clean up the table seriously, and put tea and wood on the table, she knew that she couldn't help but go back on her word.

She was full of entanglement and chagrin here, and the customers who were still drinking tea over there were coaxing the shopkeeper Chen who was setting up the table: "Old Chen! What's wrong? You're going to go into battle and give us a section yourself?! ”

"Ouch! Lao Chen, but really? When did you learn to tell a story!? ”

"Gotcha! What can Lao Chen say! Talented and beautiful people have nothing to do with him, if you talk about visiting the flower building, it's almost the same! ”

"You can't bury our old Chen. He's innocent," the voice behind him was buried by a loud burst of laughter.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at these veritable friends with a helpless face, and said with a straight face: "Don't fool around, one of my juniors will learn from me in a while, and I will learn from a very gentleman who is a storyteller." You have to listen to it. Just give me all peace and quiet. ”

After packing up, the shopkeeper Chen returned to the counter, and the second girl whispered: "Uncle! You ask the guy to move two screens in front of the table, or I won't be able to speak nervously in front of so many people. ”

Shopkeeper Chen glared at Erya, and then turned his head to arrange for Xiao Er to move the screen to block between the customer and the desk.

There was really no need to delay, Er Ya held a big backpack to cover her head and face, bent over, and slipped against the wall. Quietly rubbed to the lectern behind the screen and sat down.

She closed her eyes and began to put herself in the memories of when she had listened to the tape. At that time, she had already entered high school, and because she couldn't keep up with her studies, she had been anxious and nervous about her love. I couldn't sleep all night. At this time, she will always miss the joy when she listened to Liu Lanfang's commentary and Cheng Biting Jin. Then, she used the living expenses she usually saved to buy a tape recorder for less than a hundred yuan. I bought a tape of Liu Lanfang's storytelling. As long as the love is wrong, listen to it. I only heard that the melon was ripe, and I could memorize it word for word. However, the content can be memorized, but unfortunately the voice characteristics of the character are not something she can completely imitate.

Although she can't completely imitate herself, she still wants to do her best. Just when she closed her eyes and thought about it wholeheartedly, wanting to enter the state completely, the customers drinking tea below were in a hurry. shouted and asked the shopkeeper Chen: "Old Chen! Why don't you talk about it yet? ”

"Oops! Hurry up, my hair will be gray by the wait! ”

“”

Erya felt that she was almost brewing. Only then did he pick up the sound wood and slap the table, "I'm afraid!" "A crunch! There was silence below.

Erya, who had her eyes closed, began to imitate Liu Lanfang's voice, tone, characteristics and accents of each character, and said 'Cheng Biting Jin, the Demon King of the Mixed World'.

"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the heroes rose from all directions, among which the cold and summer should be strong, born without evil and the world will not descend, and the heroes of the next generation will always be preached. said: "Erya finished the first time in it completely according to Liu Lanfang's original text.

Here is a name for the era, dynasties, and the famous fierce general Cheng Jinjin of the Tang Dynasty, these histories have not yet been forked, and they are also legends that people in this era have heard of for a long time. Today, someone suddenly told this legend in the form of storytelling, and it has already snatched their ears. In addition, Cheng Yanjin is such an arrogant and unreasonable person, but he asked the storyteller to say that such an arrogant and unreasonable person is so cute, gratifying, and cola, which makes them even more fresh. After saying the first time, Er Ya took advantage of the fact that they were still waiting to listen to the second time, sneaked back to the counter, looked at the shopkeeper Chen who couldn't listen to it, and raised his head proudly. asked in a low voice, "Uncle!" What do you think? I kid you not! But it's much taller than the gentleman just said? ”

Shopkeeper Chen came back to his senses when he heard Erya speak. There are two thieves in the bubbles of the eyes that are smiling, and the thief is smiling. Er Ya saw that this shopkeeper Chen seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and shivered all over.

"What!? Uncle, can you be normal!? It's going to scare people to death! The second girl rubbed the goosebumps that came out of her two arms and screamed quietly.

Shopkeeper Chen nodded, let go of his smiling eyes, and finally the two eyeballs were also revealed. "Kid! Will you come here every day to tell stories in the future? Uncle pays for you! ”

Erya won't do it! She shook her head sharply and said, "No! No matter how much money you give me, I won't come. Why don't you ask your old friend, the head of the World Dart Board, to help you visit everywhere, and you may be able to find such a master. ”

This commentary is said to be in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, this statement should be wrong, the late Ming and early Qing dynasties can only be said to be the rise of storytelling. In fact, as early as the end of the Zhou Dynasty, there were already commentaries, but the commentaries at that time, just like the previous gentleman, were plain and bland, like telling one thing, without much attractive vitality. It is the later storytellers who have added their own inspiration and skills from generation to generation, so that the storytelling has become a living story world in their mouths.

Therefore, Erya believes that there must be a storyteller with a high storytelling frequency in this era, but it is only because of geographical restrictions that few people are known! (To be continued......)
