74. Song Mazi told the story
Yu Qizheng was very unhappy in his heart, very, very unhappy. I knew this, so it was better to continue to stay in the teahouse and listen to Song Mazi's storytelling.
No matter what industry you are in, you must have two hands to become famous.
The words are correct and round, and each word is explained gently and clearly, and it is even more subdued. And that's just the basics.
In addition, it is also necessary to control the speed of speech, intonation, timbre, etc., to control the rhythm just right. That's basically a qualified storyteller.
If you want to become famous, of course you can't just be qualified. It is also necessary to attach a magic to the tone of voice and tone that is irresistible to the listener.
Of course, Song Mazi is not short of these elements.
The reason why it is so famous is that in addition to being well-said, there is also a very key factor.
That is Song Mazi's trump card program - current affairs book.
Ordinary storytelling is based on words. It can be said that it is all in the past.
In order to make his storytelling distinctive, Song Mazi came up with an idea: to use a time period every day to talk about all kinds of anecdotes that are happening at the moment. Then I gave this column a name called "Current Affairs Storybook".
What he didn't expect was that as soon as the current affairs column was launched, it was warmly sought after.
In fact, the reason is simple. This era is not like later generations, there are such things as television and the Internet. There are very limited channels for people to know information, and all information is disseminated by word of mouth. However, people have a strong demand for information that is new to their lives, especially about their own lives.
Current affairs have captured this point.
"Today, there was a brawl on the east side of the city. The cause was a conflict between two families surnamed Zhang and Li because of the dogs raised at home. Listed as an official, do you think it is common to see each other with fists and feet because of the so-called dog bullying. Definitely. Song Mazi threw out a suspense.
"If that's the case, I won't be talking about current affairs." Then after another burden, Song Mazi began to describe it vividly.
"The Zhang family and the Li family have lived in the east of the street for generations, but they are old neighbors. How could it be for one dog, oh no, actually two dogs. How could an old neighbor fight for a dog? ”
"Here's the thing......"
"Although the two families live on the same street, and there are only two or three families next to each other, they have had conflicts before, and they do not interact with each other. According to our local dialect, it is the kind that will not say hello when you bump into each other face-to-face. ”
"This situation is said to have existed for many years. As for what the grudge was caused before, no one can say. Anyway, it's not a big deal, anyway, it's something trivial like you glaring at me and scolding you. ”
"Although we don't like each other, we have been at peace for so many years. Why did you suddenly do it today? This starts with the dogs of the two families. ”
"The Zhang family has a female dog, which is black. The Li family has a male dog, which is yellow. ”
"Today, a female dog of the Zhang family gave birth to a litter of puppies. The Zhang family, who was still happy, discovered a problem. This litter of puppies is actually yellow. And on the whole street, the big yellow dog raised by the Li family is pure-haired. ”
"Actually, it's really nothing. You say that this man can not interact, but how can the dog understand this? What's more, it's all on the same street, so it's normal to come and go, and you and I want to get together? ”
But the Zhang family didn't think so. They were angry, and it felt like they were their own daughters, and they were taken advantage of by the enemy's son. ”
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family had a loud voice, and she scolded when she stood in the middle of the street. The meaning is probably that the Li family's yellow dog is stronger than his own dog. ”
The daughter-in-law of the Li family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately sneered and said that the female dog does not stretch out her cheeks and the male dog does not come forward, who knows who seduced whom? Besides, is it the seed of our rhubarb, don't rely on our rhubarb. ”
"Just like that, the two women scolded."
"This scolded and scolded, and then I didn't know how, so I started to do it. First I spit, then I pulled my ears and my hair or something, and I was so happy......"
"Then the children of the two families don't know how to scuffle together."
"In the end, the old men of the two families also joined the battlefield, and they all had blue noses and swollen faces."
"Well, you see what a fuss it is. If you want to pockmarked words, whether it is sweet or not is sweet hometown water, whether you are close to your hometown people. Being able to become a neighbor is also the fate of the previous life. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Not to mention that if there is really a death or injury, both sides will have a hard time. In the eyes of other people, they only think it's funny, and they don't think anyone wins. ”
The audience was already leaning forward and leaning back with laughter.
What was originally a very common trivial matter in the parents sounded completely different when it was rendered by Song Mazi like this.
Especially for the description of the scene of the two women quarreling and fighting, I am afraid that the excitement is only a book called "Lu Ti Zhi Punch Town Kansai" in later generations, which can barely be compared.
Yu Qizheng and Li Jing also laughed heartily, and Li Jing even took out a gold ingot from his arms, ready to reward him when the tea boy came over later.
Yu Qizheng and a few guards immediately went to cover the gold.
Reality is not a garbage film and television drama.
In the film and television dramas of later generations, eating a meal at every turn is ten taels or twenty taels of silver and throwing it on the table, "Don't look for it." ”
It is easy to use dozens of taels, or even thousands of taels of silver. What's more, they are often able to take out hundreds of taels of silver tickets from their pockets.
This is simply not just misleading, but deceptive!
These screenwriters or authors don't even have the most fundamental historical common sense. Do you know the purchasing power of a tael of silver?
In their era, a bucket of rice was sold for only 5 yuan, and usually one tael of silver was converted into 1,000 copper coins (also known as consistent), and you could buy 200 buckets of rice, and 10 buckets were one stone, that is, 20 stones. According to the weight of later generations, about 1180 kilograms, that is, 2360 kilograms, do you know what the concept is?
According to the consumption of 36 pounds of rice for an adult man a month...... Please note that it's rice, not rice!
According to the calculation of an adult man's monthly rice consumption of 36 catties, an adult man needs 432 catties of rice to eat every day a year.
One or two pieces of silver buy enough rice for a man to eat for 5 and a half years!
Ten taels of silver is enough for an adult man to eat for 55 years. Based on the life expectancy of people at that time, basically ten taels of silver was the price of the food that a sturdy man needed for a lifetime.
Well, life is more than just eating rice. However, it can also be calculated according to the records in the history books.
At that time, on average, an adult's expenses for eating and drinking Lazar were all calculated, and the annual expenses were about one or two halves, and definitely not more than two taels of silver.
In this dynasty, a nine-grade official monthly salary is 5 stone rice, that is, 250 wen money, which is converted into silver is 0.25 taels.
And a nine-rank official is equivalent to what the future generations know?
A prefectural order is equivalent to the mayor of later generations, usually seven grades.
It is not difficult to calculate what the eight products are roughly equivalent to in the later generations. It's almost like the director of the XX Bureau.
What about Jiupin? It's probably the principal of the school, the head of the XX station, the director of the XX bureau, and the director of the XX hospital.
These are the people whose annual salary is 3 taels of silver.
What did those literati rely on in later generations, and the protagonist ate a meal for a dozen taels of silver?
Is there no certification? Partly yes. Anyway, Lao Tzu wrote Xiaobaiwen, not to mention a dozen taels, just a few thousand taels, isn't it my mouth?
The other part is to exaggerate knowing it. The protagonist of his pen can be beyond reality, beyond everything.
There are also some authors like "I am a follower dog", although they write very badly but write very carefully, they will make moderate exaggerations after real research.
Why can Li Jing take out a few taels of gold at every turn? You must know that silver is so valuable, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.
But you know, who is he? Prince!
How many princes are there in the whole world?
Or how many people in the world can have no concept of money at all? The crown prince is one of them.
But the prince has no concept of money, which does not mean that the guards and Yu Qizheng have no concept.
The ingot of gold that Li Jing put on the table was as much as five taels.
Yu Qizheng and they knew too well that rewarding such a small amount of money was nothing to Li Jing at all. However, in such a Jingzhou city and such a small teahouse, it is definitely big news that has caused a sensation.
And the most important thing they need to avoid now is to be noticed.
"Master, why don't I arrange it, and let this pockmarked man go to the house to talk about it tomorrow?" The guard whispered.
Li Jing shook his head: "No." ”
Seeing that a few guards didn't know why, Li Jing sighed and added: "Some flowers only bloom beautifully in the wild." If it is transplanted into the Imperial Garden, it will not have that taste. ”
Several people nodded.
Only Yu Qizheng scolded indignantly in his heart: Then transplant Lao Tzu to the Imperial Garden with Mao? I only want to think about the wild!
As if he had guessed his thoughts, Li Jing shook his head and said, "But there are some tweeds, and this prince looks at them, just like uprooting them and planting them in the imperial garden every day." What? Not adapting? Will it die? If it's dead, it's dead, and then find someone to pull out such one. ”
Yu Qizheng immediately pretended not to hear anything and looked at the stage.
"Thank you for this information provided by Wang Da Yao Biscuit in the East of the Street, and according to the practice of our current affairs book, we will reward Wang Da Yao Biscuit with 30 yuan."
"Again, ladies and gentlemen, the current affairs book is looking for information related to current affairs. Once adopted, a reward of 30 to 50 dollars will be awarded. The requirement is that the information provided must be anecdotal about recent events in the vicinity and must be completely truthful. ”
Song Mazi's tone was extremely inflammatory.
Yu Qizheng and the others finally understood why Song Mazi could do this show. This old boy is really better than a monkey.
With a bounty, there are naturally many people who will come to provide information.
After the information is adopted, these people will take the bonus and will definitely work harder to collect the information. At the same time, advertisements such as "You go and read Song Mazi's storytelling, what I said today are provided by me" will also be disseminated, expanding the influence of the teahouse.
"Now for the next anecdote on current events." Song Mazi said.
Everyone's attention was immediately focused.
"This anecdote is also very interesting. It is what happened in Tianmen County, which is more than 100 miles away from our Jingzhou City. Song Mazi said for a long time.
As soon as he heard that it was from Tianmen County, Yu Qizheng's attention immediately focused. Anyway, it's also a matter of my hometown.
"This incident happened in Luofeng Town, Tianmen County." Song Mazi continued.
Now not only Yu Qizheng, but even Li Jing is engrossed.
Luofeng Town? Didn't we just come over there? Is there something big going on over there?
"In this Luofeng Town, there is a Qin family class. What is this Qin family class for? It's a construction team. To put it simply, it is the craftsman who makes the house. Song Mazi began to tell the story.
Li Jing and Yu Qi glanced at each other, what is there in the Qin family class that is worthy of being taken to the teahouse by this Song Mazi? Could it be that our identities have been revealed?
Song Mazi continued: "This Qin family class is very interesting. What's so interesting? ”
"What we usually see is that the team that does construction is all male. But this Qin family class, the class leader is actually a woman. ”
"It's a woman, it's still a young girl!"
Immediately, he and Yu Qizheng breathed a sigh of relief, scared me to death, and thought you were going to grab eggs! The so-called curiosity is just that. I thought you were going to grab the eggs!
Obviously, Song Mazi's hunting is definitely more than that.
"This female class leader has done something that we don't dare to think of. In Luofeng Town, a three-story house was built for a family surnamed Yu. ”
Li Jing glanced at Yu Qizheng with a smile. Meaning: Look, it's related to you.
Yu Qizheng also waited with anticrisy to see what Song Mazi would say about his three-story building.
As a result, Song Mazi immediately changed his tone: "It doesn't matter what kind of three-story building this is, it's not the point." ”
Yu Qizheng almost rushed to the stage to beat up, it doesn't matter what you say?
"This Qin family class, the most powerful thing is to make a mountain and flowing water as far as the eye can see, traveling thousands of miles in a day, and traveling eight hundred iron pulleys at night!" Song Mazi said as he knocked on the table with a fan.
What the? What's that? The mountains and flowing water are endless, and the day travels thousands of miles, and the night travels 800 iron pulleys!
Li Jing and Yu Qizheng are two, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.
Next, Song Mazi was blown up, how powerful this iron block is.
He blew his eyebrows and danced, and the audience listened in fascination.
Only Li Jing and Yu Qizheng stared wide-eyed: Is this talking about the broken car we sat in? I don't believe these storytellers anymore. This bad old man is very bad!
At this moment, someone hurriedly came over to report that Qin Xiaoluan had arrived in Jingzhou City.
Hearing the news, Yu Qizheng immediately stood up: "I'll go and see." ”
Li Jing is now also listening to Song Mazi say that the book is still unfinished. Besides, it didn't seem like it to pick up the construction by himself, so he nodded and waved his hand, signaling Yu Qi to take a look.
Yu Qi was running to the gate of the city, originally wanting to surprise Qin Xiaoluan, but as soon as he came, he saw Yang Buxian who was following Qin Xiaoluan.
At this time, a sentence must be used: Uncle can bear it, Aunt can't bear it!
Nima's, not to mention bringing a green hat to Lao Tzu, and running over to scream, I can't beat you!
