"I don't want this Jixian County to have such a prosperous style, and it is rare to see it if it is not out of Shuzhong."

"Master, the rumored Shangyuan Restaurant outside the city is ahead. There are many people on the left and right, so it's better to find a seat early. ”

"I heard that there is an old gentleman in Shangyuan Restaurant who knows a lot about the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, and he doesn't want to be so respected. It's really embarrassing for the old man......"

"Master, it's just some secular rumors and folk tales, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

"The old man was ordered to revise the history of the Tang Dynasty, and since he took over, he has found that the historical records have been chaotic since the two Han Dynasty. The old man is very old, and the things that have been verified cannot be done for too long, and there are many things in the three kingdoms that have been circulated among the people, although there are many jokes, but it is always conducive to us returning to Beijing to repair the omissions. ”

"With such an identity, why is he still working hard for such things?"

Halfway through the conversation, the old man waved his hand and shook his head.

The two have arrived in front of the Shangyuan Restaurant, which has the most people.

The young man was stunned and curious: "Huh? Why is it that there are so many people on this street, but I don't see how many customers there are in this store? ”

The old man also frowned, seeing that there were only three or two idle guests in this Shangyuan restaurant, and the hall was deserted.

On a storytelling table, the idle storyteller dozed off and looked listless.

When the old man saw a well-dressed middle-aged man walking out of it, he stopped with a smile and asked, "This, do you know why this Shangyuan restaurant is so deserted?" ”

The middle-aged man is the owner of this family.

When this crowd is dense, there are few guests in the house, and I am very bored.

was also asked why he was so lonely, and his heart was even more unhappy, he glanced at the old man, and saw that he was simple and had a very poor appearance, so he instantly gave birth to a trace of disdain, and snorted and ignored it.

The young man beside the old man glared, stopped in front of the middle-aged man, and said in a low voice: "My master asked you something!" ”

"Sir? Scold...... Is that the old man? Where to go back and forth, this Shangyuan restaurant does not serve the poor. ”

When the young man heard this, his eyes erupted with fire, and the fists behind him tightened, and there was a faint crisp sound of gaba gaba's joints.

The old man smiled and dragged the young man hard, not caring about the middle-aged man's words: "The old man came from afar and didn't understand the rules." Only outside the city, I heard that there is an old gentleman in Shangyuan Restaurant who is good at speaking the Three Kingdoms. Come and listen to the book. ”

"Listening to books? Can you afford to listen? Let me tell you, listening to a book in Shangyuan Restaurant, just a cup of tea costs 100 Wen. Just like you, let's go to the other side and listen, their Three Kingdoms are cheap, and a cup of tea only costs ten cents, which is suitable for people like you to listen. ”

"Oh? The other side is also talking about the Three Kingdoms? The old man glanced back thoughtfully, and when he looked at the middle-aged man again, the middle-aged man had already squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

"Master, such a bad man, don't let the villain teach him a hard lesson."

"How long have you been out with the old man? I can't get rid of a stinky problem! You and I are here to visit the folk history, not to play official power and put on a show for you. ”

The young man was a little unconvinced, and bowed his head and arched his hand: "The master has taught me a lesson." ”

The old man looked at the restaurant in front of him again, it was deserted, and he couldn't hear the sound of books, so he shook his head helplessly: "Go and have a look on the other side." ”

The two of them re-entered the crowd, and just a few steps later, they heard a cheer from ahead, which was really terrifying.

The young man exclaimed, "So many people? Feelings: The people on this street are here to listen to the Three Kingdoms of this family? ”

The old man vaguely heard the voice of storyteller inside, and couldn't help frowning: "Why is it a child's voice." ”

"A child said Three Kingdoms? Isn't that child's play? The young man said.

At this moment, someone next to him shouted: "Eh, eh...... The fifth time, the last volume of the Three Heroes Battle against Lu Bu, leave me a copy! Hey, the kid in front, don't grab it, that's what I booked! ”

"I want a full set, and I'll buy it wherever the gentleman says I'll buy it."

"I want a full set too!"

"Master, what are you doing at the door?"

The old man's eyes narrowed, and he stroked his beard with interest, and motioned for the young man to open the way.

After a while, the old man walked to the door of the dilapidated restaurant, raised his eyes and looked at the signboard: "Donglai ......"

Then I looked at the little girl who was guarding the stall in front of me, and finally my eyes fell on the things on the stall.

"What a peugeot girl."

The young man couldn't help but praise and was glared at by the old man.

Only then did the young man feel out of shape and bowed his head and remained silent.

The old man looked at the stall and took a booklet with three eye-catching characters on it: "First Round".

The first sentence of the opening chapter is: "Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be divided for a long time." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment when he opened the book, and then couldn't help but nodded: "The general trend of the world, if you divide it for a long time, you will be together for a long time." Kind of interesting......"

"Little girl, what kind of book is this?"

Bai Rou, who was guarding the small stall, was sweating profusely and couldn't take care of it at all.

"Sir, if you want to watch the excitement, then give the book to the guests who need it."

The old man was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

At this time, one of the people next to him took the initiative to say: "Old man, come and see the excitement?" ”

The old man smiled and nodded.

"This book is called the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the content is what the storyteller at the Donglai restaurant said. This storyteller is different from others, twice a day, each time is different, it is said that it started from the Yellow Turban Rebellion and continued to talk until the end of the Three Kingdoms, a total of 120 times, never repeated. If you missed the story of the day, or if you can't get enough of it, you can buy this text version. ”

The old man was shocked: "From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the end of the Three Kingdoms? ”

"Isn't it?! I don't know if the storyteller is bragging, how can anyone tell the big things in one day? But the young storyteller spoke twice a day, very coherently, and there were always booksellers who did not know, and all kinds of questions could be answered fluently. It's only been the eleventh time since then, and there are no mistakes or omissions, and there are many things that we have never heard of, which is really addictive. ”

The old man flipped through a few more pages of the book in his hand, and after a few glances, he felt that he had a treasure in his hand, and hurriedly asked the little girl, "How do you sell this book?" ”

"One hundred texts in one volume."

The old man didn't think about it, so he took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

Everyone was shocked, and the amount of that ingot of silver was quite a lot, full twenty taels.

Look at him in rags again, where does he look like a rich man?

The old man didn't have time to care about the eyes of the people in front of him, and said to Bai Rou: "I need one book here every time, so I don't have to look for money." ”

Without Bai Rou's hands, the young man behind the old man chose a book in his arms at the stall.

Before everyone could react, the master and servant disappeared into the crowd and entered the shop again.

……

Now it's a few days later, and the number of customers in Donglai Restaurant is getting more and more day by day.

It's just that the daily tea money of only ten cents per person, not to mention the shop opposite, it is more difficult to complete the gambling contract with the Oriental girl.

Of course, the money from selling books outside is not counted as the restaurant's revenue.

It has been 11 days since the opening, and Bai Song looks at the account book over and over again every day, carefully calculating the daily income.

All the money is in the cash box on the second floor.

After doing the math, a total of fifty taels of silver were collected on the eleventh.

A private room on the second floor was converted into the boss's office by Bai Song, and no one was allowed to enter, only the Dongfang girl and his two shareholders sat in it.

Bai Song has been getting more and more proficient recently, and he has counted dozens of pages of ledgers in ten minutes, and then got up and shook his head: "The place is smaller, otherwise you will have to make money just by relying on those tea money." Now many people can't get their tea money. ”

Dongfang Bai looked at Bai Song seriously, in the past ten days, she couldn't understand this young boy more and more.

There is no doubt about it.

But sometimes he is also an axis person, and he is obviously profitable in the trading downstairs.

Just like the Shangyuan Restaurant next door, it only needs to be changed to 100 wen per customer, which will multiply the daily income several times, but it just doesn't listen to people's advice.

There are also books sold outside.

As soon as the book was launched, the crazy robbery was more intense than the girl's snatching of new silk.

It only sells for 100 wen, and I don't know what to think.

Although the money from selling books had nothing to do with her, Dongfang Bai always felt that this person was not suitable for business at all.

Bai Song also knew in his heart that according to the proposal of the Oriental girl, their income would be much higher.

At the beginning, Bai Song also planned to do so.

Bai Song is not a saint, and he has never thought of being a saint, but he knows many things, the silver in the Tang Dynasty is too expensive, and a few dozen taels of silver does not sound like much, but as long as you look at the people who come to listen to books on weekdays, each of them takes out ten cents from their pockets, and the sickle of this leek can't be wielded.

Leeks should be cut, preferably leeks.

Anyway, this little money can't help Bai Song do any big things, food and clothing, and now there is no shortage of food.

"Da Da Da ......"

A series of hurried knocks were heard.

"Madame, Madame...... The guy on the other side is coming! ”

The maid of the Oriental girl is called Lian'er, her voice is beautiful and beautiful, and she looks like a chicken pecking rice in a hurry.

"The guy on the other side?" Dongfang Bai looked back at Bai Song, obviously not understanding much.

Bai Song spread his hands: "Go out and take a look, maybe it's someone from Shangyuan Restaurant." ”

This Shangyuan Restaurant has long been forced by Bai Song to be a little difficult, and the guy opposite scolds and scolds every day, but Bai Song's family doesn't care about it at all.

I came to the door today, I'm afraid I'm not looking for trouble?

Dongfang Bai was a little anxious and walked out quickly.

As soon as Dongfang Bai came out, he saw the owner of Shangyuan Restaurant coming upstairs with two small servants.

There are four tables crammed upstairs, which are looser than downstairs.

It's much more comfortable to listen to books and drink tea upstairs, but you have to pay a hundred dollars to come upstairs.

In the past, the frequent customers who listened to books in Shangyuan Restaurant have all been diverted to Donglai Restaurant in the past few days.

Several guests also knew the middle-aged man and stepped forward to say hello.

Dongfang Bai saw that the other party was smiling and not smiling, he hated it, and stepped forward and asked: "Boss Zhang, if you don't look at your own shop, what are you doing at our house?" ”

"Oriental girl, you opened a shop to do business, and we didn't pay the money, why didn't you let you in?"
