Chapter 204: The Storyteller

Liu Man'er has now bought a yard in the county seat, and she can be regarded as a person with foundations, so it is not difficult to find someone to ask and buy a suitable place to open a teahouse.

If you want to do it, Liu Man'er asked Han Shixin to find Zhou Hong, the broker she had called before, and asked him to help inquire.

This Zhou Hong has always been loyal, honest, and popular in this county, many people who know him like to find him whether they are buying or selling, so he always has a lot of resources in his hands.

As soon as Liu Man'er said that she wanted to rent a shop, Zhou Hong immediately opened a small book she carried with her and flipped through it, and after a while, she said that there were two shops for rent and she wanted to take her to see it.

Liu Man'er thought about it and took Han Shixin to see it with him.

These two shops are quite close to each other, the structure is similar, both have a small courtyard, Liu Man'er is not picky, they all think it is very good, after inviting someone to this small courtyard with it, it can let the little two in the store live here.

asked Han Shixin's opinion, and he also bowed slightly, so Liu Man'er just asked about the rent.

A shop is slightly more expensive, ten taels of rent a year, and a shop is eight taels of rent a year, although the difference is not big, but now Liu Man'er is the master of frugality, of course she is the shop that rented eight taels of rent.

Although this shop is a little more remote than the other shop, but this slightly remote is just in line with Liu Man'er's mind, after all, it is a storyteller, if it is located in the center of the downtown is not very good, a little off, there are customers, but also quiet.

Seeing Liu Man'er agree, Zhou Hong made an appointment with Liu Man'er and called the owner, and the two signed a one-year contract, paid the silver, and gave Zhou Hong a tael of silver as a Chinese fee, and the matter was finalized.

"Uncle Han, the next thing is going to be handled by you." When she got home, Liu Man'er discussed the newly opened teahouse with Korean-style Xin, and said:

"I have a big belly and it's inconvenient to do too many things, you help decorate it in the past few days, in addition to the ordinary table and bench, get two more elegant seats near the desk, and put some benches on the periphery, you can help recruit two clever guys, and invite a good storyteller."

"Yes." Han Shixin nodded, he is now experienced as a shopkeeper, but he is not stunned.

"By the way, you asked someone to help me make a plaque, and our teahouse is called "Storyteller". Liu Man'er said to Han Shixin.

"Well, no problem, I'll do it." Han Shixin said and bowed his hand to Liu Man'er and walked outside.

Liu Man'er has already thought about the regulations for opening a teahouse, and plans to wait for the new Korean-style shop to be renovated, and then talk to him in detail one by one.

The shop rented by Liu Man'er was originally a small noodle restaurant, and some tables and stools were available, and the new Korean style was mainly to build a high platform, add two private seats, and then set it up, and it would take little time.

As for adding new guys, these are not a problem, the jobs in this era are hard to find, even if you recruit two guys, there are a lot of people to apply.

But these are new things in the Korean style, he has been both a steward and a shopkeeper, and his vision is no worse than Liu Man'er's, I believe he can find the right person.

But even so, Liu Man'er was always a little relieved, but because she really didn't have so much time to take care of, she let Han Shixin do it, but she also kept telling herself in her heart that she had to learn to use people, believe in Uncle Han, and don't exhaust herself to death like Zhuge Liang.

Thinking like this, the heart slowly became calm, but after all the Korean style was renovated, Liu Man'er went to see it once, this decoration is similar to what she imagined, the two guys look very clever, Liu Man'er is very satisfied.

What is missing now is a storyteller, this storyteller is not that it is difficult to find, but some people who are a little famous don't want to come to this small teahouse, they are not famous, and this Korean-style new is also a little disdainful.

Liu Man'er said to Han Shixin: "When it comes to storytelling, the main thing to read is the book, as well as people's voices and emotions, which really have nothing to do with this fame, only if there is a chance, this unfamous will become famous." ”

He also said: "You also know the situation of our family, I plan to open this teahouse, and then send you to the county seat, when the time comes, we will open another one, and we have to continue to open the restaurant, and you will be useless at that time." So you have to train some people for me now, and this guy in the store will be promoted if you look at it and think it's suitable, and you can post a notice to hire a storyteller, and I'll apply for it myself tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Han Shixin nodded when he heard Liu Man'er say this.

Liu Man'er said: "Then I'll go first, the affairs of this teahouse depend on you, with you, I can rest assured." ”

"I do my best." When Han Shixin heard Liu Man'er say this, he suddenly felt a little heavy on his shoulders.

The next day, he found a lot of storytellers, Liu Man'er took the first volume of his book and asked them to say a paragraph, she and Han Shixin leaned against them and didn't look at people, just to see if they were telling the book with correct words, whether they had feelings, and whether they could move people.

"The first one stays with the fifth." Liu Man'er said to the storytellers.

The two people who were selected were happy, although they were a little disappointed that they were not selected, but they didn't feel anything, anyway, there are many such teahouses, this is just a small teahouse, and it is not worth their loss.

Even those who were not selected snorted coldly, complaining that Liu Man'er and the two of them had eyes and didn't know gold and jade, and Liu Man'er was also a little helpless.

The two people left behind were also coincidental, one was tall and thin, the other was short and fat, Liu Man'er couldn't help but smile when she saw them standing there, and then asked Zhengse: "What are the names of the two of you?" ”

"Under Li Yongwen." The tall and thin man arched his hand towards Liu Man'er and the two, he had a goatee and wore a long veil, and he looked quite energetic.

"Under Feng Yongkang." The short and fat man also said to Liu Man'er, this person is a head thinner than this tall and thin man, he has a small beard on his chin, with a melon skin hat, he looks a little slippery, but his voice is very warm and soft, and the story is very lingering and compassionate, which makes people intoxicated.

Liu Man'er has added a lot of love stories in this "Journey to the West", which is more suitable for this Feng Yongkang, of course, she doesn't want to miss this tall and thin man, but her voice really likes it too much.

"The two of them are fateful, and they both have a Yongzi in their names." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

After hearing Liu Man'er's words, the two glanced at each other, snorted coldly, and looked arrogant, but no one was convinced or greeted.

Liu Man'er felt that there was something strange between the two of them, although they were enemies, but if they were ordinary storytellers, they would not be so unsympathetic in person, Liu Man'er guessed that they might have some origins, so she asked: "Aren't the two of you knowing?" ”

"I don't know!" Unexpectedly, the two of them denied it in unison, and then, they looked at each other again and said in unison: "Who will know him!" ”

"You must know each other, seeing that you even have such a tacit understanding when you speak, maybe you are happy enemies." Liu Man'er saw that the two people were arguing with each other, one short and one tall, one fat and one thin, which was really interesting, so she also joked.

"A peer is a rival, who will know him. I think you're a little teahouse, a storyteller is enough, I think it's better to choose me. The stocky storyteller recommended himself: "You should have heard me just said the story, much better than what he said!" ”

"It's clear that I'm better than you." The tall, thin storyteller didn't admit defeat either.

"Nonsense!" The stocky storyteller turned his head and scolded.

The tall and thin storyteller didn't admit defeat, and when he saw that they were about to quarrel again, Liu Man'er stopped them, "Okay, two gentlemen, are you here to tell stories in my teahouse, or are you here to quarrel?" ”

The two stopped talking, and Liu Man'er said: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Li, I like both of you very much, so let's stay, when the time comes, one will say the morning game, and the other will say the afternoon game, just right." ”

"That's a good idea." Feng Yongkang nodded and said, "I'll say it's morning." ”

"Okay, this is a script, I'll show you." Liu Man'er said and handed a volume in his hand to Feng Yongkang, Feng Yongkang read a few pages, and couldn't help but be deeply addicted to it, until he turned to the last page, he was still a little unsatisfied, and said, "Where did you get this book?" ”

"I wrote it myself." Liu Man'er had something in her heart, and she didn't want to say more to him, so she just said to Li Yongwen: "Mr. Li, you are resting here for a few days now, and I will write you a book of words suitable for you in a few days." ”

"Yes." Li Yongwen bowed to Liu Man'er and said, "Can I take a look at this book now?" ”

"No problem." Liu Man'er nodded, Li Yongwen stretched out his hand towards Feng Yongkang, Feng Yongkang handed it to him a little reluctantly, and admonished: "Take your dry claws well, don't get dirty." ”

"Don't worry, it's not as dirty as your trotters." The two were talking about arguing again.

Liu Man'er really didn't know if it was right or wrong to recruit the two of them, but the two of them said that the book was really good.

"Uncle Han, you tell the two of them some remuneration, and arrange accommodation for them if they need accommodation." Liu Man'er said: "I'm a little unwell, I'll go back first." ”

"Boss, be careful on the road." Han Shixin reached out to help Liu Man'er up, and Feng Kang and the two found out that Liu Man'er was actually a pregnant woman waiting to give birth.

Liu Man'er walked out slowly, and Han Shixin talked to these two about the remuneration, and these Liu Man'er discussed it with him at home, but this way of settling wages made Feng Kang's eyes light up.
