Chapter 10 Preparing for the Spread
was following Zhao Ming to study "The Book of Rites", and the voice of the maid Qiuxiang came from outside the study: "Young Master Wang, Uncle Liu is looking for you", Su Bai was stunned, Young Master Wang? Call me? Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Your Uncle Liu called you, go and take a look", Su Bai reacted at this time, it was the first time in these years that he was called a young master, Meizizi.
When I walked to the gatehouse, I saw a big man and Lao Liu sitting together, it was Zhu Zi Dad, and when he saw Su Bai come out, Zhu Zi Dad made a loud voice: "Da Niu, what is the matter with calling me?" The corners of Su Bai's eyes twitched, the name of this big cow, I really can't get used to it how many times I hear it, he walked to Zhuzi's father and said: "Uncle Zhang, I want you to bring a letter to my father, let my father come to the city with you tomorrow, I have something to find him", Zhuzi's father nodded and said: "This is a trivial matter, is there anything else to explain to the family?" Su Bai thought about it, took out a small handkerchief in his arms, and said with the ten pennies he earned last night: "Give this to my mother, you have to bother", Zhu Zi's father smirked: "This person who has studied is different, in it, give it to me Lao Zhang."
After the pillar father left, Lao Liu said: "Young Master Wang, I have asked the prison market, and the supervisor said that there is no problem, for the sake of my old Liu's face, although I can't give you a reduction or exemption from the apportionment, but there is absolutely no scoundrel who dares to trouble you", Su Bai hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you Uncle Liu, I'm a poor boy, I really can't afford to be called a young master", Lao Liu said with a serious expression: "Worthy of it, our master only accepted two disciples in total, one is an open door disciple, you are a closed door disciple, and you two are the sons of the master, Why can't you be called a young master? What's more, this is still explained by Madame."
Su Bai then understood, it turned out to be the master mother's explanation, the two chatted a few words, Su Bai went back to the study to continue studying, Zhao Ming drank a little tea, very pleasantly pointed at Su Bai, as if inadvertently said: "Ugly cow, the eighteenth of this month, is the day of appreciating chrysanthemums, when the time comes, there will be a chrysanthemum poetry meeting in Yunke, when the time comes, I plan to take you to see the world, and you can't be embarrassed by the teacher", Su Bai stood up and said: "Don't worry, the ugly cow will do his best", Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction: " In the past two days, you should first think about any poems about chrysanthemums, you have a draft first, and then you younger generations will inevitably learn from each other, and now there is a draft, and the teacher can also revise and revise it for you."
Su Bai understood that this was to help him cheat, and then he thought of what Shi Niang said before about the genius of "Changchun Academy", and understood that Zhao Ming wanted to praise himself and let himself fight with that genius. But this is also very in line with Su Bai's wishes, his prestige system is that the more famous he is, the better, the more people who know him, the higher his prestige, and the more things he can change.
When Su Bai came out of the dormitory in the inner courtyard in the evening, he stood at the door, and more than ten students were waiting for him with small benches. They didn't disappoint Su Bai, a student walked over with his chin held high, his palm spread, and the ten cents in it flashed with the light that Su Bai liked. Su Bai directly turned into a dog's leg and took over ten cents, the second student, the third student..... There are a lot more people listening to the book tonight, mainly because Wang Fugui has given good publicity, looking at the one hundred and forty yuan in his hand, Su Bai feels that he will not set up a stall, this is much more profitable than setting up a stall, but there is also a problem, that is, so many people's bedrooms can't fit at all.
Later, Wang Fatzi was smart and came up with an idea, you can go to the Buyan Hall, where the lecture is held, the empty is tight, Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he happily praised Wang Fugui, and a group of fifteen people quietly walked to the Buyan Hall. There were no chairs or anything in the classroom, because at this time the Tang people were used to kneeling, and there was a low table in front of them, only Mr. was old and had a stool.
Su Bai sat down on the stool unceremoniously, and after the underground students sat down, Su Bai coughed and said: "Thank you for your support, let's talk less nonsense, and the book will be back to the ......." Su Bai said that the story was more in a state this time, and he kept telling them until Wolong came out of the mountain, and the clever Mr. Zhuge quickly became countless fans, looking at their bright eyes, they all brought themselves into the role, Su Bai was once again very shameless and stuck in the cool point, if you want to listen to the book, you can, continue tomorrow, It's still ten cents and absolutely no bullying.
Although the students are dissatisfied, but now the hour is indeed late, or honestly go back to the dormitory to sleep, Wang Fatzi now admires Su Bai very much, walking on the way back to the dormitory and muttering: "Brother Su, I thought of a good idea to make a fortune, if I record your story and invite a few eloquent people to say in my teahouse, I feel that the business will be good."
Su Bai's eyes narrowed, he really can't underestimate the ancients, this fat man's views on business are not simple. Su Bai made a silent gesture and said, "Trade secrets", Wang Fugui quickly shut up, with a cheap expression that I understand you. After the two of them returned to the dormitory, Su Bai said: "Brother Wang, let me tell you, the story in my hand I have now will not be able to tell you for three years", Wang Fugui's eyes lit up, and he did not speak, he knew that Su Bai must have a follow-up.
Su Bai continued: "I also told you that I also plan to open an entertainment industry, and tell you stories and stories in it", Wang Fugui's already small eyes were almost left with only one slit when he narrowed up, and he still didn't speak, wanting to hear what Su Bai had to say to himself. Su Bai said: "You can go home first and use your teahouse as a test point, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" I said in the past two days is a very good long story, leave the story buckle, live enough for you to talk about it for a long time, and when the benefits really come out, you can come to me to buy the story."
Wang Fugui understood, and also felt that Su Bai's proposal was still good, he just needed to find a storyteller in the early stage, such a big Chang'an, it was not easy to find someone who could speak well? If it really works, I won't be short of these two money to buy the story. Su Bai has his own ideas, if you want to say what Su Bai lacks most now, there is no doubt that it is money, whether it is to start the fund, or to deal with the locust plague next year, he needs a sum of money.
Now he can think of the smallest cost, the fastest way to get money is to buy some food, I dare not say anything else, I believe that with future technology, there will still be a place in the Datang catering industry. Besides, there are many kinds of entertainment industry, storytelling is just one of them, and when it comes to opening a store in the future, there will be a conflict between the two, and the story is in your own hands, and you have nothing to be afraid of.
Wang Fugui thought for a while and said, "So how much money do you plan to ask for the story?" Su Bai smiled and said: "Let's see the results first", Wang Fugui thought about it, there is nothing now, just think that these are a little ahead of time, as if he bought a lottery ticket, and he thought about how to spend it if he won five million.
Early the next morning, just after dawn, Lao Liu came and knocked on the door, saying that Wang Xing was here, and he was waiting for him in the gatehouse. When they arrived at the gatehouse, Zhu Zi's father and Wang Xing were chatting there, and when they saw Su Bai and Lao Liu, they stopped talking at the same time. first said hello to Zhuzi's father, and then pulled Wang Xing out of "Mingde College", the fewer people who still know some things, the better.
Wang Xing said with a grin: "Da Niu, what's so secret, you have to carry the pillar father", Su Bai said with a serious expression: "I can decide the future of our family", after Su Bai earned a hundred Wen, Wang Xing didn't dare to underestimate his eldest son, if he didn't look at the growth, he really had to wonder if his son was replaced. Wang Xing looked left and right at no one, and said with a serious face: "You say", Su Bai said softly: "Last night, I earned another 140 wen, plus the 50 wen I asked Zhuzi's father to bring back, it was almost 200 wen, let my porter Lao Liu inquire, now set up a stall behind Qunxian Fang, only 100 wen a month, and the rest of the money can be rented in a remote place in the city."
Wang Xing scratched his head and said, "But I don't know any skills, what can I do in the city?" Su Bai smiled: "It's okay, the teacher taught me to read in the past two days, I found a good way to stew mutton in the book, I tried it in the past two days, and it was delicious", as soon as he heard the mutton, Wang Xing licked his lips, obviously greedy. But he still hesitated a little and said: "But, if you set up a stall here, my buddy won't be able to do it, and no one will take care of the land at home." Su Bai said disapprehantly: "Dad, you only have seventy or eighty yuan a month, what kind of money can you earn in our small county?" How much money can our family earn from a year's grain harvest? If our family set up a stall in Chang'an, I calculated the cost, and if I counted everything a day, I could leave at least fifty or sixty wen, how much was it a month? Wang Xing folded his fingers and counted for a while, but he still didn't understand, he couldn't get off the stage in front of his son, and he blushed a little.
Su Bai said: "Although I haven't calculated it, but it's definitely a lot of money", Wang Xing hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes", Su Bai continued: "When our family makes money in the city, the land is just for grandpa to hire someone to clean up, besides, even if it is a loss, it is just my income in the past two days, if this happens, our family will not face the loess and turn its back to the sky."
Wang Xingyi gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go home now, and when I go back, tell your grandfather, let Erniu stay in my hometown first, and your mother and I will clean up and come over tomorrow." Su Bai smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I still have one hundred and forty dollars in my room, take it to rent a house first, Pillar Dad is familiar with this place, let him take it with him to find a tooth shop and find a cheaper house." Wang Xing nodded, Su Bai took the money and walked out, handed it to Wang Xing and said, "When my mother comes, come to me again", Wang Xing nodded, sat in the carriage of the pillar father, and slowly disappeared.
