Chapter 62: There is no shortage of storytellers

Shen Shuang, who was worried about Xiaoshan, had already arrived in the lively town at this time.

When it was dawn, Shen Shuang was called up by her mother to prepare for breakfast, or she didn't usually get up and run, squinting her eyes and nibbling on a nest and a roasted sweet potato, she followed her father and her second uncle father and son to the town with one foot and one foot shallow.

Shen Shuang thought about things very late last night, and got up half an hour early, the whole person was still a little confused, when he walked on the road, the moon was still hanging in the western sky, so he was not afraid of not being able to see the road.

There were a lot of people in Xishan Village to the town, and because it was still dark, there weren't many people talking and chatting, and no one noticed Shen Shuang.

At first, Shen Shuang barely used her body to keep up with her father's pace with her daily exercise, but after walking for an hour, she almost couldn't breathe.

Her second uncle Shen Tusheng directly left them and left lightly, after all, he still had to go to the town to find work earlier, Shen Musheng and Shen Zhuzi both picked up the dustpan and cage to sell, but they also walked slowly and waited for her, and when the last three of them arrived in the town, it was already dawn.

The market in the town was very lively, Shen Shuang was so tired that she felt alive when she saw such a lively scene, especially the taste of the food, which made her sprout a lot of motivation to cheer up.

Her father, Shen Musheng, wanted to set up a stall in the market to sell the dustpans and cages he brought over, so he wanted Shen Zhuzi to take her around, but Shen Shuang had an idea, where would he be willing to bring Shen Zhuzi such a cousin who didn't like to talk.

She was able to travel freely because of her hard talk, and took the two pennies her father gave her and went shopping by herself.

Shen Shuang's fat body still attracted some curious glances to her, but the town was big, and everyone had everyone, so everyone didn't pay much attention to her at all, which made Shen Shuang's actions a lot easier.

Looking at the two pennies in her hand, although she was disgusted, it was a huge amount of money from her father. Shen Shuang sighed softly, looking up at the sky in the crowded bazaar, missing her savings very much, it would be nice if she could bring them over.

Shen Shuang didn't have time to lament too much, she had walked here for more than two hours, and she had to get some food, drink or silver to go back, although she couldn't steal or rob, but she could sell the ideas in her head to make money.

Shen Shuang thought that the livelihood of making money in this town was nothing more than eating, drinking, living and traveling, originally she thought that the Chaotian peppers she was messing with would be a business opportunity, but now she didn't have a large number of cultivation on hand, so she could only make a little money.

Shen Shuang asked passers-by which teahouse restaurant had the best business in this backing town, although passers-by saw that she was not dressed like a rich lady, but seeing that she was so fat, they also felt that she had some money, so they also enthusiastically popularized her knowledge and showed her the way to a restaurant called Manfulou.

The wide streets are full of vendors who make a living, selling lanterns, kites, handkerchiefs, and candy people, and sugar gourds, but there is not much novelty.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the Manfu Building, which is full of customers, and it is directly opposite a Yunlai Building, with the same decoration, but there are few customers, and it seems that the business is very bleak.

Shen Shuang didn't rush forward, but asked a vendor who set up a stall and sold lanterns nearby, "Big brother, I want to ask you something, I see that the guests here are all going to Manfu Building, but the Yunlai Building on the opposite side is full of doors, is there any story in this?" ”

The lantern seller glanced at her, there was no business at this time, and he didn't dislike it when he saw someone talking, "Girl, you know at a glance that you are back in our town." ”

"To say that the biggest and best business restaurant in our backing town is Manfu Building, although we are far away from the capital, but the merchants from the south to the north have to pass through here, and there are many outsiders. Fumanlou can live in the hotel and eat and drink, the cook heard that he is still from the capital, and he fried a good dish, saying that even the emperor said that he ate it, can the business be bad? ”

Shen Shuang smiled and didn't answer, it's just a marketing gimmick, it's really hard to say whether it's the emperor's imperial kitchen or not.

Seeing that Shen Shuang was unmoved, the peddler also continued, "The most powerful thing in Fumanlou is that there is a storyteller, he is a relative of the owner of the restaurant, I heard that he also came from the capital, and he said that he almost won the lift, he can say that the dead are alive with one mouth, and the stories he tells can always attract a full house, everyone says good, I have also heard it, that is really good." ”

Shen Shuang nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What about Yunlailou?" Why do you still open a restaurant opposite Manfu Building, which has such a good business? ”

"Girl, you don't know that. In the past, the best restaurant in our backing town was Yunlai Building, but after the opening of Manfu Building, the guests were snatched away, and Yunlai Building closed down not long after. But some time ago, I heard that there was a rich boy from the south who reopened the restaurant after the restaurant was down, and it seems that he specializes in selling dishes from the south, but he can't do the same Manfu Building. ”

After Shen Shuang inquired about this, he thanked the vendor and walked to Manfu Building, after all, it is a big restaurant, and there are many customers coming and going, especially Xiao Er, who specializes in leading horses and feeding horses for guests, and knows that the service is very thoughtful at a glance.

Shen Shuang looked at the clothes on his body, weighed the silver money in his hand, and when he approached the Manfu Building, he heard a full house, which seemed to be the guests applauding.

It's just that before she could get close to the door, she was waved by Xiao Er, who was greeting guests at the door, with a tablecloth on her shoulder, Shen Shuang pretended not to hear, and was about to walk into the door, but was still stopped.

"Hey, you, what about you, where are you going?"

Shen Shuang originally wanted to make up the numbers, but she didn't expect that she didn't even have the opportunity to fill up the numbers, so she could only pretend to be stupid at this time, "This little brother, I want to go in and listen to the book, I heard that the story told by the storyteller here is good." ”

The little second looked at Shen Shuang in surprise, seeing that although she was fat, the clothes and fabrics on her body were worse than his, so she was naturally not allowed to enter.

"Listening to books? This is a place to eat and stay, do you eat or stay? ”

Shen Shuang: "...... I listen to books. ”

"Do you have any silver? It costs silver to enter our Manfu Building, do you think a cat or a dog can enter any beggar? Go, go, go, and don't get in the way of our guests. ”

"Hey, guest officer, please inside."

Xiao Er hurriedly welcomed a guest wearing silk satin, and then rushed Shen Shuang again.

Shen Shuang turned around and left with a dark face, originally wanted to see the market, but who knew but didn't have this opportunity, she didn't delay, and walked directly towards Yunlai Building opposite.

Yunlailou and Manfulou are simply different, Manfulou seems to be full of people in the lobby, not to mention those boxes, but there are only three or four people eating here in Yunlailou, and Xiao Er is so idle that he is fighting flies.

As soon as he heard the footsteps, the little second brother immediately rushed over, although there was a trace of surprise on Shen Shuang's face when he saw Shen Shuang's size, he still wiped the table with a smile on his face to greet her, "Guest officer, are you going to eat?" Please here, I don't know what you want to eat? ”

Shen Shuang looked down at the clothes on his body, he was sure that he shouldn't have the ability to misunderstand, but he was a little embarrassed, "No, I don't eat." ”

The little second brother was stunned, "Is the guest officer going to stay in the hotel?" We don't have rooms in Yunlai Building now, sorry. ”

Shen Shuang felt that this Yunlailou won over the Manfu Building over there in terms of hospitality alone, at least there was no dog looking down on people, although she could also understand the thoughts of those little two who greeted the guests, but she couldn't accept it.

"No, I don't live in the store, I want to ask you if there is a shortage of storytellers in Yunlai Building."

The little second brother scratched his head and looked embarrassed, "This, girl, you have also seen it, there are only a few guests in our Yunlai Building, and we will leave after eating, where is there a lack of storytellers." ”

Shen Shuang raised her eyebrows, simply sat down and took a sip of the tea that the little second brother had poured just now, "There is no shortage now, it doesn't mean that there will be no shortage in the future, what about your boss?" Are you there? Can I talk to him? ”

It's even harder for the second brother, boss? He hasn't seen it, "Girl, our shopkeeper is here, as for our boss, I haven't seen it either, our Yunlai Building closed down last year, and it was reopened half a month ago." ”

Shen Shuang nodded, "Then please ask the second brother to help me invite your shopkeeper to come over, is it okay?" ”

The little second brother nodded hesitantly, it was the first time he heard someone talking to him with the word invitation, so he turned around and rushed to find the shopkeeper.

"Brother Seven, it seems that someone is looking for you."

Upstairs, a girl dressed as a man with a melon girl retracted her stretched neck and looked at the young man with an irritated face on the opposite side.

The man was dressed in moon-white brocade, his hair was raised by a jade crown, but it was a baby face, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Who can find me?" Eighth sister, let's lose half a month after opening Yunlailou, no wonder that woman wants to send us here, if this continues, sooner or later, my father will have to hand over all the business at hand to that woman. ”

The girl dressed as a man waved her hand indifferently, stretched out her head to look at the movement below, and when she saw the shopkeeper come out, she reached out and patted her brother's hand, "Brother, look at it, the shopkeeper came out to see the girl, but she looks so fat." ”

The man wrinkled his baby face and also stretched out his head to look at the two people below.

"Girl, are you looking for me?"

The shopkeeper is checking the account book at the back, although there are not many guests in Yunlailou, but there are still some incomes every day, but it is still a loss, and he is also very worried.

"Shopkeeper, the little second brother should have told you, I recommended myself to be a storyteller today, I am confident that I will help your restaurant come back to life and snatch all the guests back."

The two brothers and sisters upstairs glanced at each other, and then the girl dressed as a man stretched her neck and shouted at Shen Shuang, "This girl, are you serious?" ”
