88 Teahouse Storytelling
Luo Xiaoqiao's occupation of the Wang Family Teahouse to tell stories has her own political significance, she wants to let the most people hear the script in a very short time, so small profits and quick sales are the best means, and she does not plan to make money.
But Wang Jinqiao is different, he is a pure businessman, and he will do his best in any business that has the potential to make money.
Luo Xiaoqiao rented a teahouse of the Wang family in the southeast and northwest of Xingcheng, and went to the "old man's teahouse" next to Heyi Tower in the morning to discuss the feasibility with all parties.
The Wang family's teahouse was originally a place frequented by dignitaries and nobles, and it was generally decorated very elegantly.
is not only a teahouse, but also inevitably has its own storyteller, as well as some performances of playing and singing.
It's just that the original script, that is, some scholarly anecdotes, at most a few more articles like "Wan Xiu Niang's Revenge on the Mountain Pavilion" and "The Legend of Yang Wen Blocking the Road", with a bit of martial arts color, are similar to the routines of all the teahouses in the Northland, and I don't feel much after listening to it.
Therefore, the teahouse business makes money by not telling stories and playing music at all.
Those who often come to the teahouse to drink tea are often for the elegant environment, exquisite snacks, and fragrant tea leaves.
The original positioning of Wang Jinqiao Teahouse is obviously inconsistent with Luo Xiaoqiao's requirements.
Therefore, Luo Xiaoqiao asked people to rearrange the teahouse.
Five small VIP rooms are located in the front row for entertaining distinguished guests. There are five round tables in the middle, surrounded by a small single sofa, in a circle. In the back row are slightly more comfortable sofas and long tables. After that, there were all benches. There was even a space on the second floor for the female dependents.
The teahouse suddenly fell from a very high place to a very down-to-earth state.
The price is also very close to the people, four yuan can be called a cup of tea, listen to a morning of storytelling, VIP room from 15 to 20 yuan. If you find it boring to sit dry, there are also various fried melon seeds, pine nuts, walnuts, and salt beans for sale.
Regarding the changes to the teahouse, Wang Jinqiao complained a lot: "Little girl, I have been operating this teahouse for so many years before I gain a firm foothold among the upper class, you have given me all my reputation and guests in the past two months, how much effort will I have to spend in the future to save these guests?" What do you say? ”。
"Wang Gongzi, let's do it, I'll make up for the lost money in your teahouse, what do you think?" Luo Xiaoqiao said.
Wang Jinqiao is still uncomfortable, this is not a matter of money or money, it is he Wang Jinqiao who can't do loss-making business, this is his feelings!
Luo Xiaoqiao saw that he was really uncomfortable, so he had to come up with another idea: "Prince Wang, you see, although the number of wealthy families is a little less, the number of civilians is more." You can take the dim sum from your restaurant and sell it, each serving is smaller, the price is more expensive, I promise, the customers are too much, I can make it up for you"
Wang Jinqiao ignored her with a dark face, he used to entertain dignitaries, he could also sell snacks and collect more money, what kind of bullshit idea was this.
But the relationship between the two, Luo Xiaoqiao rented these two months and paid compensation, and it was not good not to agree to her.
"Miss Luo, the storytellers are here, do you want to try it on stage?" The original shopkeeper Bai Dacheng came over and asked.
"Okay, try."
Luo Xiaoqiao said to the four storytellers: "Trouble a few gentlemen, one person will try to say a paragraph." ”
"The old decay comes first", Mr. Qian's body is a little thin, but he is very energetic and full of energy, and he is the first to come to the stage.
After he read this book, he really thought it was too good, whether he Qian Jianing could go to the next level in the storytelling industry depended on this book.
walked to the stage, pulled up his long sleeves, and slapped the wood on the table in his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, today the little guy will tell you a new book, called "Tianlong Babu". It is said that there is a gang in the north of the world, known as the first big gang in the rivers and lakes "beggar gang", the gang leader Qiao Feng's martial arts are world-famous, and the eighteen palms of the strong dragon and the dog-beating stick method are superb, and they are called "North Qiao Feng". At the same time, there is a young man in the south, handsome in appearance, his family heirloom is unique, and his martial arts are unparalleled in the world with his human way, known as "Nan Murong". The so-called "Central Plains Yingjie, the first to recommend these two "......"
Qian Jianing said something impromptuly, but it suddenly stopped.
Wang Jinqiao in the audience heard this kind of words for the first time, and stood there stunned, the corners of his mouth slowly grinned, and the joy in his chest was indescribable.
He should have thought that the words were not simple, but they were really not simple: "What else? Why don't you go on? ”
Luo Xiaoqiao smiled, the effect is good.
"I'll come, I'll come", Wang Gudong rushed to the stage in a few steps: "The passage that Xiao Lao'er wants to tell is the story of Duan Yulu, the prince of Dali, who met Wang Yuyan, Duan Yu saw this woman for the first time, sighed that mortals were drunk, and then sighed that a hundred flowers were killed, how could it be that Fang Fang's heart was not as good as Kuang Fu ...... the world."
The audience was quiet, and even Su Kongqing, who looked at Luo Xiaoqiao everywhere and was not pleasing to the eye, found a seat to sit down and listened with relish.
Luo Xiaoqiao wrote more than 50 chapters in his book, and several storytellers wrote down all of them, and changed the way of expression according to his professional experience, so that the audience could listen to it more easily and resonate.
Even those wonderful fights, several people also pondered and added some actions to raise their legs and lift their sleeves, and the whole repertoire was very vivid.
The four storytellers, who have been talking about books for most of their lives, have their own unique skills. Mr. Jin's originality, the plot is already very exciting, and it is even more amazing to be compared by them like this.
Originally, Luo Xiaoqiao only planned to let them say a short paragraph and try the stage effect.
But Su Kongqing relied on his force value, and Wang Jinqiao relied on his own landlord, so they didn't agree to stop. stunned and let the four of them talk all morning, and they were addicted to the play.
But the book was very long, and I couldn't finish it. And Luo Xiaoqiao still has something to talk about, and the two of them can only give up first.
Su Kongqing smashed his mouth, and for the first time, he had a little change in his opinion of Luo Xiaoqiao.
"What does Wang Gongzi think?" Luo Xiaoqiao looked at Wang Jinqiao and asked.
"Wonderful! It's just wonderful! Girl, where did you come from? Wang Jinqiao asked, "Is there anything else behind?" Can you give a sneak peek of it?"
Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to his head and smiled.
Wang Jinqiao's eyes were about to pop out: "You? Are you kidding? ”
"If you don't believe it, forget it", Luo Xiaoqiao didn't plan to be serious with him, "It will open in the afternoon, what does Wang Gongzi think?" ”
"Oh, it's no problem, but little girl, that, you still have the words later, right? Can you lend me the book? Wang Jinqiao's topic turned to one side again.
Luo Xiaoqiao pursed his lips, knowing that it would be like this.
Later, Ming Yi took out a bibliography from his baggage and handed it to Wang Jinqiao: "Give, Wang Gongzi, we have all printed it, and after ten days, we will start selling it, and I will give you a copy to see."
Wang Jinqiao looked at the thick dozen, and his heart was a little excited.
With such a wonderful story, he is really afraid that there are only a few chapters, and looking at the thickness of the bibliography, it seems that there are many wonderful things.
He flipped through a few pages casually, and suddenly stopped: "Miss Luo, what do you mean by this?" As soon as the book goes on sale, there will be fewer people who come to listen to it."
Luo Xiaoqiao put his hands behind his back, looked at the sunshine outside the door, and said lightly: "I didn't open a teahouse for the sake of opening a teahouse, I just want more people to know this story in the shortest possible time." ”
Wang Jinqiao is an old man, so he naturally knows a little about the Luo family. In fact, as long as she speaks, he will definitely help.
But looking at her young but very firm face, he shook his head again: Forget it, let her go, when the girl really can't handle it, his Wang family will not stand idly by.
