In the next few days, the tea shop was open as usual, but Shen Xi, the little shopkeeper, began to go to and from school honestly, and when he returned home, he devoted himself to his creative plan.

Even if there was something on the tea shop, they could only wait for Shen Mingjun to come back, and the two secretly got together to discuss in a whisper.

I don't know when it started, but there was a sudden craze for listening to books in the city.

Not only Shen Mingjun's tea shop is telling stories, but the teahouses and taverns in the city also began to tell stories, after all, there is no copyright protection in this era, and there is nothing difficult about storytelling.

Yue Fei is a well-known figure in this era, with the foundation of the previous story, the follow-up plot can always make up an approximation, even faster than what Han Wuye said, and for a while, he also stole a lot of business from the tea shop.

Everything is most afraid of comparison, listening to it, people think that the purest thing has to be what Han Wuye said, and what others said about "Saying Yue Quanchuan", the first part is okay, but the follow-up is the dog continues to mink tail, and the more you listen to it, the more wrong it is. People were disappointed, and they slowly came back to continue to listen to Han Wuye's storytelling, which led to the business of the tea shop becoming more and more popular.

In order to prevent other storytellers from listening to the whole story, Han Wuye changed his strategy and told the new story of "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" twice in the morning, and then told the story from the beginning, which is convenient for those who don't know the previous plot.

In the afternoon, Han Wuye started to talk about "The Legend of Tong Lin", this story can only be imitated honestly by other storytellers, and it is really difficult for them to catch up with or even surpass the progress of the tea shop. Bai Du Yixia performed a new chapter of the Song Hall to cut the mouth of the L section

Martial arts stories are still very cold in this era, before that, other things mentioned in the martial arts scenes, just a rough "three hundred rounds of the big war dark" such as superficial adjectives, and Shen Xi's "Tong Lin Biography", the martial arts in it, are all detailed routines, the characters in the book are all clear and clear, what is the name of the trick used, how should the hands and feet cooperate, how the opponent attacks this move, and how to counterattack, defend or dodge that move, which is clear at a glance.

It is said that there are hundreds of fights in this book, each of which is not the same, ordinary martial arts practitioners have ordinary fighting styles, swordsmen have swordsman fighting styles, how young heroes make moves with each other, how famous swordsmen compete with each other, and how the old man and young man do it, all of which are unique.

Shen Xi came home from school in the past two days, and at the mouth of the alley or on the side of the street, he saw a group of children from time to time gesturing, punching and kicking, and shouting what "mandarin duck legs", "long fists" and other things they didn't know how many they were at their age.

On February 19, 10 days after the tea shop opened, the business was so hot that there was only one storyteller and two guys in the shop who could no longer take care of the business.

At first, the tea shop was mainly for people to drink tea and listen to books, but later it has become mainly to listen to books, and the tea shop had to add seats several times but the supply is still in short supply, and some people are even willing to spend two pennies to enter the door to squeeze in the corner to listen to books, and even tea does not need to be supplied.

Even so, it takes people to grab a seat from the morning, and if they go late, they can only guess outside the tea shop...... Because there are too many people, you can't squeeze in at all.

In the end, Shen Xi decided to ask a few more guys to help, and at the same time discussed renting the two shops around the tea shop, and asked Han Wuye to invite a few peers to come over and tell stories together.

In order to protect Han Wuye's authority, Shen Xi suggested that the new story should be told by Han Wuye, and the content that was said could be handed over to the invited colleagues. These people came to talk about the book, and they only received wages and attendance awards, no dividends, and all the rewards were returned to the public like Han Wuye.

On February 20, Shen Mingjun went to discuss renting a shop with the surrounding shops very early, but there was no result, because the business of the tea shop was good, and the business of other shops around it was also thriving, and no one wanted to rent out the shop.

Even if the tea shop had a good business, it was only open for ten days, and it made less than ten taels of silver from a small fight, and it couldn't take out too much money to expand the scale of the store.

After returning from the disappointment, Shen Mingjun told Shen Xi the details, and casually found an excuse to take Shen Xi to the tea shop, and after closing the shop at night, he called Han Wuye and Song Xiaocheng together to discuss the expansion of the tea shop.

Han Wuye was a little worried: "Looking at this situation, it will take at least a while to get past this limelight, and I can't be busy alone." I asked my storyteller colleagues, and there were indeed a few who were willing to come, but if we only had this one shop, we wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people. ”

Shen Xi said: "Then simply extend the business hours, let's continue to open the door to do business after the o'clock, make books for another two hours, and close on time at half an hour before the drum beats." Now that spring is in place, the weather will get hotter and hotter in the future, and the night market in the city will be quite lively, isn't it? Invite people and talk about them separately, so that the fifth master can also save a little. ”

Han Wuye smiled: "Or the little shopkeeper will feel distressed, I don't know what the big shopkeeper thinks?" ”

Since there is a small shopkeeper, Shen Mingjun is naturally the "big shopkeeper", but in fact, he, the big shopkeeper, has his own business and has to go to the Wang family to work, which always makes people feel weird. Shen Xi had asked him to quit his job more than once, but Shen Mingjun was reluctant, feeling that he was used to doing it in the Wang family, and it was a little uncomfortable to suddenly lose the "iron rice bowl".

Shen Mingjun nodded and said: "What Xiaolang said is that we can't rent another place now, we can only find a way in business hours, and I see that people in the city also have time at night, and there should be a lot of people who come to listen to books." Let's close the shop when the head is more ringing, and when the dusk drum beats, everyone will be at home, so that the government will not pursue it. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the "night ban" was to be implemented, and the twilight drum was sounded at three o'clock on a watch, and travel was prohibited; The morning bell rang at three o'clock on the fifth watch before the ban on traffic. In ancient times, seven o'clock to nine o'clock in the evening was a watch, and a watch was divided into five o'clock, one point is equivalent to twenty-four minutes now, so three o'clock in the evening is eight o'clock in the evening.

According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", those who walk on the street on the second, third, and fourth watches will be flogged forty times, and sickness, childbirth, death and funeral can pass. Because of this, shops have to close after the head drum is beating, so that people have enough time to go home.

With Shen Mingjun's approval, the matter was settled.

Next, Shen Xi planned the operation of the shop well, since he wanted to increase the business hours, he had to hire two more guys, so as to reduce the work pressure of Song Xiaocheng and Su Lian.

Shen Xi handled things in an orderly manner, and first wrote a notice and posted it at the door, letting people know that the tea shop would continue to open in the evening, so that people could come and listen to the book.

Originally, the two VIP tables were increased to four, because more and more gentry came to listen to the books, and the two tables could no longer meet the demand.

The next day, the tea shop opened a dinner market, and Shen Xi had no way to go over to help, because the Zhou family was not very busy at the pharmacy, and he watched him very closely. At dusk, Shen Xi was very worried that the shop would not be able to take care of it, and if there was something, he would not be able to arrange it on the spot.

"Hanwa'er, what are you doing at the door? Done your homework? Zhou closed the door of the pharmacy and found Shen Xi wandering in the back alley, so he couldn't help frowning and asking.

Shen Xi's eyes rolled: "Mother, I've already done my homework, and my father hasn't come back yet, why don't I go to Wang's house to have a look?" ”

Zhou glanced at Shen Xi: "Your father is very busy in the Wang family, what do you always bother him with when he has nothing to do?" He came back with someone in advance, and he won't be back tonight. ”

"Oh, by the way, these days, my mother heard that there is a tea shop in the city, and there is a special person to tell the story of Grandpa Yue of the Song Dynasty every day, and I want to listen to it with your aunt grandma, but the time is not flattering, let's close the shop and the people will also close the shop, fortunately, the tea shop will open at night today to tell the story, I will sum it up with your aunt, and I will take you to listen to it after dinner today."

Shen Xi panicked when he heard this.

He never thought that the story of the tea shop would spread so quickly in the city, and even the old lady and Hui Niang knew about it, but they still had to take the children and maids at home to listen to the book, which was obviously to make money and want to enrich their usual entertainment life.

But if you go and see your dad there as a shopkeeper, won't everything be exposed?
