Chapter 0090 Storytelling
walked briskly around the yard seven or eight times, until he was sweating all over his body and steaming hot above his head, and Li Moyi stopped panting.
Li Moyi was tilting his head, rinsing his throat with a sip of cold water, there was a sound at the courtyard gate, Yi Xian breathed with both hands, and walked in with his shoulders and sleeves folded.
As soon as Li Mo looked up and saw Yi Xian, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with joy, "Yi Xian, did you sleep well on that hard couch last night?" β
Yi Xian choked, grinning reluctantly, and was silent for a moment, before finally showing a smile on his face and saying, "Okay...... Good..... Great. β
Li Mo laughed, his heart was hard and cold, how could he sleep well, but he nodded on his face and said, "Ha, it's okay, why did I feel panicked when I came a few days ago......"
Yi Xian rolled his eyes, thinking that Brother Li was still the same Brother Li, and he was really so cautious, he had to attack if he was a little resentful.
But at this moment, Yi Xian didn't talk back, he only expected Li Moyi to teach him real skills, as for these subtleties, he naturally didn't care at all.
"Where did you go this morning? Only back now. The two finally reunited, and Li Moyi's greetings also followed smoothly.
The previous grievances between the two disappeared, and Yi Xian couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's the matter, Yi Xian Xiaodao?" Seeing that the other party didn't reply at all, Li Moyi said again: "It's over, stupid?"
After taking a closer look at Yi Xian's clear eyes, Li Moyi was also puzzled, what happened to this kid.
"Haha, Brother Li, I'm playing with you! I'm not stupid........ As for where it went, it was a post house. Yi Xian came back to his senses.
"When we first arrived here, I first went around to find out the situation and familiarize myself with the people here." Yi Xian said with a smile.
"So what did you find?" Li Mo raised his eyes.
"There are a few old men in the post station who are listening to someone telling stories, and that person is telling some clichΓ© stories, I have heard them several times at my age, what is the trouble in the heavenly palace, three dozen white bone spirits....... I listened to it for a while, and there was nothing new to say, so there were just a few old men waiting, ah, by the way, come, come, see what I brought back to you? β
Yi Xian raised his head and smiled heartily, so as to hide his embarrassment, he took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve and shook it, then remembered something, and mysteriously pulled Li Mo to the front hall of the inn.
When he entered the front hall, under Li Moyi's curious gaze, Yi Xian carefully took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, put it on the table and opened it.
Li Moyi originally thought that this kid had found out some gossip news, and he was a little disdainful in his heart, but he just looked at Yi Xian's mysterious and happy appearance, so he didn't say anything. At this moment, I looked at it, but I saw three golden round cakes lying in the oiled paper bag.
"How about it, the authentic Anqiu sesame baked cakes, I heard them say that it is usually difficult to buy with money, and one person is limited to buying two, today I went early, thinking about living and learning, and told the story I just heard to the cake seller, Sun Monkey stepped on the sky, overturned the heavenly palace, and faced 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals alone......."
"It's not a big bargain, I bought three. Ha, Brother Li come and come, eat it while it's hot, it's a pity if it's cold and it will be less crispy. β
Li Moyi now understands the temperament of this Yi Xian Xiaodao more or less. To put it simply, it's a good person, but he just likes to take advantage of small things and often thinks he is proud, which is nothing, Li Mo takes care of himself, isn't he sometimes the same?
At the moment, Yi Xian reached out and took two, stuffed one hand into his mouth, and handed it to Li Moyi with the other hand, "Hehe, who am I, that is the former celestial, the former top spot in our Dexin County." Three, you have to sell me three! Brother Li eats and brings one to Yue'er. β
The other party who listened to it boasted about himself for a while, and Li Moyi knew that although he was good, the old problem was still the same. Just looking at the baked cake handed over by his son, Li Mo glanced at Zhu'er, subconsciously swallowed saliva, and then took the baked cake, and took out the last one from the oiled paper bag.
"By the way, you said there was a storyteller in the inn?" Li Mo seemed to have thought of something, and asked casually.
ββ¦β¦ Well, yes, the storyteller in the post station is fifty or sixty years old, with a long beard and chopsticks, Brother Li, why are you asking this? Yi Xian said.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing, the storyteller is talking about havoc in the heavenly palace today, and besides that, have you heard any other good stories, or some interesting books or the like......
"Oh, the storyteller has been talking for most of the hour, and after someone in the audience has interrupted, he has to start anew........"
"Is this business profitable?" Li Moyi said in a low voice, as if he remembered the heroic appearance of an old man when he told a story.
"This ...... I don't know the specifics, but I've been wandering around all these years, and I've tried all walks of life, and I've inquired about the market of storytelling, and the general boundary is twenty or thirty texts, and there are only five or six texts a day when I am young, in short, it's a miserable word......"
"So little?"
"Ugh....... That's right........ But there are also upsides. If you are telling a story in a good place, such as a big teahouse or restaurant, the shopkeeper will give a pot of tea every day, and there will be some snacks from time to time. β
"......" was speechless for a while, and Li Mo had to rethink whether to go that way.
.......
.......
The three baked cakes finally fell into one of Li Mo's stomachs, and the remaining one was put into Yue'er's room.
When I turned around and went out, I saw Yue'er who had returned, and saw that she was carrying a large bag of needlework in her hand, and she had a few simple negotiations. This made Li Moyi very relieved, plus a faint sense of shame.
Yue'er is starting to find a way to make money, and he has to add progress, when there are few demons and no cases, he has to find a new way, and this new way is Li Moyi's grandfather's old hobby-
Storyteller.
After eating a baked cake, Li Mo's whole body was warm from the inside out.
Now that the days are good, it is the people who are going to work, and Li Moyi plans to go to Junlailou, who has been there once before.
According to the usual practice, Yi Xian only hesitated slightly, quickly pressed the idea, followed Li Moyi forward, and continued to explore the human context by the way.
Out of the door, the two walked side by side. This can be regarded as a symbol of formal harmony between Yi Xian and Li Moyi.
This is the town of Anqiu. Junlailou is the largest restaurant in Anqiu Town, and the celebration banquet for solving the case last time was held there.
Along the way, looking at the old things in the ancient city of this town, while chatting with Yi Xian, this is a rare leisure time for Li Moyi in the past few months.
Anqiu Town is indeed not a high-class town, and the pomp and circumstance of the stores on the street is far worse than that of a large county like Zhide New County.
Generally speaking, Anqiu Town is located a little to the right of the south of Dexin County, and the total distance between the two places is about more than 100 miles.
The town of Angaoka is bordered by a river to the left, and you can go straight up the river or straight east to the Grand Canal to reach Kyoto.
Because of this, although Anqiu Town at this time is not a high-class town, it is by no means an inferior town. The reason for this is that it is convenient to transport trade by river.
Merchants often pass through this place to do their goods, after all, it is close to Kyoto, and it is still much more lively than the usual small territory.
On both sides of the street, there are wooden houses and shops, one next to each other.
Most of these buildings are two-storey, and occasionally some of them are interspersed with one floor, and they are all relatively tall.
There are two main roads crisscrossing the town in the east-west and north-south directions, dividing the entire Anqiu Town into nine blocks of different sizes. Most of the shops and markets are located at the east and west ends, while the north and south are mostly residential houses.
The Buji Inn where Li Mo lives is on the outside of the north, and the Junlai Building is in the east market.
From the moment I stepped into the outer reaches of the eastern market, the flow of people gradually increased. On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of stalls, many hawkers are selling one after another, the aroma and heat of various snacks are mixed, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of singing and singing are faint, such a lively scene makes Li Moyi quickly integrate into it.
Junlai Lou is at the end of the street of the east market, the appearance looks brilliant and magnificent, a four-storey building, and the three big characters of the store name "Junlai Lou" are also golden.
Each floor has a main business, the banquet is on the fourth floor, the third floor listens to music, the second floor appreciates the arts, and the first floor is a small teahouse - naturally listening to books.
The decoration on the first floor is the most simple, only a sign was picked on the eaves, and a big tea word was embroidered with silk thread.
The first floor is mainly a teahouse, the decoration is very simple, but it is also divided into two floors, and there are open tables and chairs around the door, which are used to entertain individual guests and some special pastimes;
Inside is close to the storyteller's seat. It's just that this private seat is very ordinary, and most of them are single rooms separated by screens.
As for the real separate guest room, there are only two, which are used to entertain some special VIPs, not to mention that they must be booked in advance, and they must also have a certain status, which is a bit similar to the meaning of super VIP.
At this moment, he walked into the small teahouse on the first floor of Junlai Building, but Li Moyi's face was a little surprised, he only came to eat and drink a lot last time, and he didn't notice that the shopkeeper of Junlai Building turned out to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, or a very good-looking girl.
Li Mo couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Yi Xian on the side was also stunned for a while, and when he turned around, he saw that Li Moyi was also like this, and then suddenly came to his senses, couldn't help but bow his head, and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Li!" It's not good to be public, Ai..... Ai, why do you keep watching it endlessly! Also look at ......"
Li Mo didn't manage his finances, Yi Xian was helpless, and his head was full of black lines, at this time, Li Moyi stepped forward to greet the eldest girl, hugged his fists and said: "The shopkeeper is good, what do you need to tell a story in this building?" β
The eldest girl was full of smiles, but she was frightened by Li Moyi's fist, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "I'm just the shopkeeper of the top class here, and the owner summoned me to say that there is business to discuss, and my father will ask me to help take care of it for a while, as for this storytelling......."
"You don't need anything, as long as you don't run away from the customers on the first floor of my store, it's a ........"
The eldest girl's dark eyes turned around Li Moyi, and she noticed that this person was staring at her without fear, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes and whispered back.
Yi Xian had already seen Li Moyi's actions beside him, and he was rare in such a scene, he was angry and funny for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
There are many idlers and anecdotes, and I can't imagine that Brother Li also has such a side, Yi Xian thought to himself.
"That's good, I'm going to ....... in this building" As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, Yi Xian seemed to suddenly think of something, nodded at Li Mo, hesitated, and then pointed at Li Moyi and said: "This, this is my eldest brother Li Moyi, I don't know what the words are." Age...... Ahem...... That one...... I don't know, well, he's coming to see and see, nothing else. This, ahem......"
The more the eldest girl listened, the redder her face became, and her head was about to be buried under the counter.
Li Mo pursed his lips, seemingly unhappy.
Yi Xian, this kid is simply Tai Chi, such an introduction, it is the rhythm of the blind date, are you ashamed of the yellow flower girl?
Besides, you don't know how old you are, so you introduce it to someone? Isn't this?
Yi Xian also felt that something was wrong at this time, and his words turned into a series of dry coughs in the end. originally wanted to bring the two closer to each other, in order to please Li Moyi, but the more he depicted it, the darker and darker it became, he simply waved his hand, and he walked away, and his temperament was not small. Lao Tzu couldn't say it clearly, so he simply didn't say it!
Li Mo was dumbfounded, what is this? Regardless of whether it is made or sold? If you want to arrange it, I'll finish it.
"You...... Are you going to drink tea, but also ....... Or eat....... Snacks? A mosquito-like question sounded in my ear.
As soon as Li Mo looked up, he was greeted with a pair of dark eyes, and when he saw it, his long eyelashes curled and drooped down again. The face was a little purple and purple, and the two little white hands were twisting the corners of their clothes, and they were about to twist seventeen or eighteen knots.
Li Mo sneered, seeing that the eldest daughter trembled with her body, she hurriedly held back, and said, "Don't blame this sister, that kid arrived in Anqiu Town for the first time today, and he was too excited to speak." Ai, don't be nervous, I came today to see the situation of the storyteller, what kind of tea and snacks are all random, just arrange a place for me to be out of the way first. β
After all, the eldest daughter often shows up with her father, and at this moment, seeing Li Moyi's gentle words, coupled with the storytelling mentioned later, her heart slowly settled down. It's just that for the first half of the paragraph, it's a big novelty.
What does it mean to be speechless? And tell her not to be nervous?
Weird, really weird. Could it be that there is something wrong with this person's brain?
Either way, these two are a little weird, so don't you want to be on your guard.
Okay, Li Moyi didn't know what he said casually, the eldest daughter of the family had already beaten him and Yi Xian into the ranks of neuropathy.
The eldest girl couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't stand it because of this person's straight eyes, so she led Li Moyi to sit at a single table next to the cabinet, and then ran away quickly like a plague.
How scary it is for neuropathy to start crazy, it's better to stay away from insurance.
commanded the young men in the store to bring tea to the two, and Li Moyi had an extra plate of melon seeds on the table.
There is nothing special about melon seeds, but the cup of so-called Da Mo Er Tea that came up made Li Mo extremely speechless.
What is Big Moer? Broken tea foam, there is no whole tea leaf, this is called big foam. As for adding a big word, like many advertisements on TV, it is an exaggeration to embellish and purely modify the language.
As soon as Li Mo drank this mouthful, the paste was full of uncomfortable, stumbling melon seeds, and time passed quickly.
There were not many people in the teahouse on the first floor in the morning, and it was not until noon that it gradually became lively. There are very few people sitting in the elegant seats, most of them are gathered by the door, and there is a table in twos and threes, but no one is loud and noisy, and they all speak softly, which makes Li Mo praise the high quality of the locals.
The old shopkeeper never came back, and the eldest girl, as the top shopkeeper, came over to add tea from time to time, and kept the cat in the counter. But as soon as Li Mo could detect it, there was a gaze looking at him from time to time.
After a long time, a middle-aged old man finally stood on the stage, and began to tell stories as soon as he got on stage.
Only then did Li Moyi understand that the so-called storytelling work in the first-floor teahouse was a book to read. At most, sometimes, someone will interrupt and ask for an explanation of something they don't understand.
When he finished reading the book in his hand, the old man on the stage slowly pulled out another book, opened it and shook his head and read it again.
Li Mo listened to it for a while, and he didn't squirt out.
"Zeng Daoyou, the legendary story of one hundred and eight generals, one day the dragon will raise its head, and the Yellow River will flow backwards, and one day the tiger will return to the mountain, and it will be called xue to dye half of the sky......."
What's that? Isn't this book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
It's just that this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" seems to be a little different from what he reads, and after the old man on the stage thought about it, it was a good book that made people boil and couldn't put it down, and it could make people fall asleep.
Li Mo stared and looked around, in the entire teahouse, most of the people were still doing their own business, only a few people were listening, but their eyes were slightly closed, and they didn't know if they were asleep.
Okay, this is here to listen to the story, it's clearly a lullaby.
If this continues, this line of work will be the future of money...... What a way to make money! Not even a future!
No, change! It has to change! Revolutionize yourself!
Well, let me help you out.
Li Mo looked at it for a while, thought silently for a while, turned his head and beckoned to the counter.
The eldest girl at the counter was startled, hesitated for a long time, and then cautiously moved over, "What are you doing?" β
"That...... Well, by the way, I haven't asked yet, what do you call your little sister? β
"Huh?"
"Ahh.......hhhhhhh You can't be nameless, right? β
β....... I........ I have a name, my name is Lan'er! Su Yulan! The eldest girl was despised, and immediately became angry, blurting out without thinking. When the words came out, he suddenly woke up and turned around, and he was immediately ashamed.
In these days, how can the name of the girl's family be casually told to others? That's something that only my own parents and future husbands can say.
Cunning thief!
The eldest girl was ashamed and regretful, and her eyes strangled this Li Mo thousands of times.
"Well, Lan'er......" Li Moyi said that he was not under any pressure about this, and called out casually, and then asked in a low voice: "........ Well, I said, if the storyteller here were to be replaced, you would ......... Uh, and these guests, will they care? β
Lan'er's heart trembled when she was called by him, and she walked away with a red face, nor was she angry. Hearing him ask this, Meng Buding was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head and said, "No...... Well? Why substitutions? β
Li Moyi waved his hand impatiently, pouted and said, "........ Ahem, this one doesn't matter. So, you, go so and so, and so, and so........ Uh-huh, understood? β
Li Moyi commanded in a low voice, Lan'er listened, and gradually her eyes widened and widened, and her small mouth opened so much that she could almost stuff a duck egg.
For a long time, after making sure again and again, he turned around and walked away.
In the middle of the ring, Yi Xian went outside to take a walk around and came back, supported the table with both hands, glanced at Li Moyi, and whispered, "Brother Li!" What exactly are you going to do? Why do you sit here and drink tea......"
Li Mo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down, and then leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.
After half a ring, Yi Xian looked at Li Moyi dumbfounded, unable to say a word.
It wasn't until he saw Li Moyi suddenly stand up and walk out that he suddenly came to his senses and said urgently: "Book!" What are you reading without a book? β
Li Mo turned around and waved his hand at him, smiled slightly, and walked towards the middle of the hall again.
There, according to his request, a desk was placed, and a folding fan and a square piece of wood were placed on it.
There was just a commotion in the lobby, and the old man on the stage had already left, which naturally caused everyone to be surprised. Just as he was discussing in surprise, he suddenly saw a teenager walk behind the desk.
With a faint smile on his face, the young man first swept his gaze on everyone's faces, and then reached out to pick up the folding fan and opened it suddenly.
He fanned it slightly, then raised his hand and picked up the square wood again.
"Smack!"
There was a crisp sound, and there was silence in the lobby for a moment.
"The success or failure of right and wrong has come to naught, and Qingshan is still there.
The white-haired fisherman is on the river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. β
"Zeng Daolin is, at the foot of the South Mountain, the tomb of the living dead, the Condor Heroes, extinct rivers and lakes."
