Chapter 4 Selling Articles
The old gentleman asked: Why do people usually refer to the famous writer Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty as Su Dongpo? A student replied: Because the Dongpo elbow he burned was delicious and well-known at home and abroad, everyone called him Su Dongpo, and forgot his real name......
"It's not enough, it's too short, it can only be considered an anecdote, not an anecdote. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Then I'll have another one. Once upon a time there were two tigers, one in a cage and one in the wilderness. Both tigers think that they are in a bad environment and envy each other.
They decide to swap identities and start to be happy. But soon both tigers died: one from hunger and the other from melancholy. ”
"Brother, can the tiger also speak? This doesn't make sense. ”
"Of course it's not reasonable, otherwise how can one die of hunger and the other die of depression?"
"It's just an anecdote, not an anecdote. I know you have a way to come back again. ”
Seeing that Wang Manqiu picked up the fan in his hand again, he quietly prepared to pretend there.
"Brother Tai, don't sell it, I still have fifty taels of silver left, count me as honoring you. I know that you and I are dragons among men and kings of tigers, so I don't need to use two beasts to hint at our relationship. ”
"Brother, you are so cheap! Oh, you're really insightful. Wang Manqiu was completely relieved. This product is really not boastful.
"Then I'll talk about one more." Wang Manqiu thought for a while and said.
"Someone did an experiment where a frog was put in a pot of hot water, and the frog immediately struggled violently, and immediately jumped out and reacted quickly.
But put the frog in cold water and warm it up slowly, and you'll find that the frog will swim comfortably in the water at first. The temperature of the water in the pot was slowly rising, and it was unaware of it, still feeling warm and happy. Once the temperature rises and it is hot, it feels threatened and wants to jump out, but it is too late. Because its legs did not obey the call, it could no longer jump, and finally had to be boiled to death. This is the story of boiling frogs in warm water. Isn't it interesting? ”
"Fun is fun, but I always feel like something is missing."
"I'll talk about the next one." Wang Manqiu didn't wait for him to urge and started to talk about the next one. When you have money, your mood is naturally much better.
"In the West, there is a red-haired man named Columbus. He drifted on the sea for months, and then discovered a continent called America, where he found many curiosities, and many people were not convinced when they heard of it, thinking that Columbus had just happened to see that anyone else could do it if he had his luck. So, at a grand banquet, a nobleman asked him: "Mr. Columbus, we all know that America is there, and you just happened to go up first!" If we had gone, we would have found out.
In the face of the reproach, Columbus did not panic, he had an idea, picked up an egg on the table, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, which of you can stand an egg on the table?" May I ask you, which of you can do that? "Everyone was eager to try, but one by one they failed. Columbus smiled slightly, picked up the egg, knocked it on the table, and stood there. Columbus then said, "Yes, it's as simple as that. Discovering America is really not difficult, it is as easy as erecting this egg. But, folks, before I set it up, which of you did?"
"This is good, this is good. But where is the Americas? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Manqiu was most worried that he would mention this issue, and if he wanted to talk to him in detail, it would be impossible to finish it in three days and three nights.
"Brother Zhang, do you know Hongmaozi too?"
"How many do you know? How else would this story come about? ”
"Then tell me some more stories about the red hairs."
Wang Manqiu remembers that there was an old professor when he was studying, and every time he went to "Selected Works of Foreign Literature", he liked to move a stool and sit on the podium, and he would talk for hours. Never has a student slept in his class.
The professor once asked, "So-and-so, how can you tell the difference between day and night without a mobile phone, a watch, and no sun and moon on a cloudy sea?" ”
"There's no way, just wait for the morning erection." The classmate replied.
"Classmate, you're still not honest, and you'll get morning erection when you listen to my class."
I want those foreign goods to be a little bit of love. I listened to the screaming all day long with high emotions and little resistance.
Zhang Junbao, what do you want! This kind of morning erection, how can you be happy alone, is it interesting to be happy with everyone!
Counting on these stories to sell for money, naturally you can't tell too much. Wang Manqiu just wanted to test these ancients, how curious they were about things in the outside world. Zhang Junbao, the white mouse, he naturally won't let go.
"Brother Zhang, a story like this. I can't finish it for three days and three nights. How about the story of the red-haired man just now even if it is given to Brother Tai! Wang Manqiu said.
"It's just that I can't remember, and it's in vain. Besides, he doesn't have Brother Zhang's ability, and he speaks eloquently like Brother Tai, how should this be good? Zhang Junbao said worriedly.
Forget these days, the text is all classical Chinese. If it is compiled into a vernacular text and made into a manuscript to be sold for money, will there be a butterfly effect, which is hundreds of years in advance.
Thinking about it, he laughed himself, where is this? Eat salty rice and worry about it, but think about how to mix in this world is true.
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, it seems that the world is about to change, but the way to go is still to go. To be honest, since coming to this world, the bitterness in Wang Manqiu's heart is indescribable, compared to the previous polite student, Wang Manqiu has involuntarily indulged a lot. He is a bit wild by nature, and he knows that he may never go back, so he doesn't want to restrain himself, and everything is reckless and uninhibited.
A little girl dares to recruit relatives so lawlessly for five or six years. I'm afraid of something else.
So Zhang Junbao and Zhang Luo and Wang Manqiu were on the side, and they bought the four treasures of the study room and opened it on the spot. They found an inn nearby and hung a banner from the second floor, saying: "This is the place to sell interesting and wonderful texts."
In a day, the collection was like a cloud, and the supply of manuscripts was already in short supply. In the end, they had to charter the entire restaurant, and Wang Manqiu became a storyteller. A story was told for three days and three nights without repetition, and during the day his materials were all from "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "One Thousand and One Nights", although it was not bothersome, but it was also told with a dry mouth, and there was smoke in his throat and eyes.
In the evening, I will eat and talk about some of the fornication and promiscuity in the ancient Greek wars and the lust and lust under the moonlight. In those three days, a lot of werewolves appeared in some alleys in Jiangning City, and the seventy-two green buildings in Qinhuai River were full every day. But the benefits in exchange are also huge, and Wang Manqiu earns a lot of money. Five thousand taels of silver tickets in your arms is the most real.
Finally, I wanted to end with a sentence, the stories in fairy tales are deceitful. But don't you think that's smashing your own signboard? Will you have to mix in Jiangning City in the future? Let's be an honest person, and we can't fool these talented and beautiful people who gnaw books.
Wang Manqiu made such a fuss, and the movement in Jiangning City was not small. Liu's mansion is Xiao Gege's mansion, and from the first day, there are often people who come to listen to books, and sometimes there are some pretty overseas Chinese maids, and men dressed as women are mixed in it. Not to mention those talented women and beauties in the boudoir, even the women of the Qinglou also came, but fortunately, they are all blue women dressed as men. Even if it is known to be Xibei goods, he also deliberately separated them with bead curtains, as for whether there are Thai goods mixed with it, he does not know, as long as there is money to collect, Wang Manqiu naturally has no intention to distinguish the male and female of these rabbits.
