Chapter 2: Storytelling

The grandparents and grandchildren had a great night.

Early the next morning, Lin Daqi got up early. If only he had been so diligent before. It's just that today is the first day for him to make money by talking about books, and he has been looking forward to this day for a long time, so he always restrained himself from drinking last night, just because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up today.

Lin Daqi turned his head to look at the old man who was still snoring, and then looked at the empty wine bottle under his bed, and couldn't help but shake his head and said to himself: "Old drunkard, you haven't changed at all. ”

......

After Lin Daqi washed up in the morning, he came to the lobby on the first floor of the inn. At the moment, the kitchen is busy cooking dishes so that the guests can eat in two hours. This inn is one of the four major inns in Kyoto, so it's important to prepare well every time.

The morning air is very fresh, Lin Daqi is also in a good mood, humming a little song to the door to look at the pedestrians coming and going on the street and those vendors setting up stalls, I can't help but feel that this Kyoto is really unusual, full of lively and lively everywhere, full of human touch.

Lin Daqi went out for a walk, and when he came back, he was catching up with the people in the inn to eat by himself.

Boss Hu Wu saw Lin Daqi at a glance and greeted him. Lin Daqi was also hungry at this time, so he trotted to Boss Wu and sat down, and when Xiao Er handed him the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Daqi had already picked up a big meat bun and gnawed it.

Boss Wu smiled and asked, "Where is your grandfather?"

Lin Daqi said while chewing on the meat buns: "My grandfather had a hangover last night, and he is still sleeping." ”

"That's right. Boss Wu thought about it for a while, and then instructed a back kitchen beside him: "You can get some green vegetable porridge and send it to Lin Lao." ”

The back kitchen agreed. Lin Daqi thought to himself: This Boss Wu is worthy of working hard all the way, and he is extremely sincere in dealing with people and things, this old man really chose a good boss for me.

......

After another half an hour after eating, finally some guests came in one after another to sit.

After a while, the Sifang Inn was already overcrowded.

Boss Wu carefully made a black table for Lin Daqi in front of the counter where the cash was settled, and the awakening wood, fans and other items needed by the storyteller were readily available. It can be seen that this Boss Wu really has a heart.

Lin Daqi stood there looking at so many people in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little nervous. Because he also knows very well that Boss Wu invited them to come, not only because the old man invited him back then, but more importantly, there is a storyteller in the inn, which can enliven the atmosphere, so that these people in the market can enjoy the moon and ears while eating here.

I saw that my chest rose and fell twice, and I took two deep breaths before I picked up the waking wood and slapped it on the table.

In an instant, the noisy voices quieted down, and the four juniors also began to bring the tea ordered by the guests one after another, and the tables were busy according to the requirements.

Lin Daqi told the story for the first time, although he was very nervous, but he has always been a heartless character, so once he opened his mouth, the following became more and more smooth.

"Everyone, my name is Lin Daqi, I will be the storyteller of this inn in the future, today is also the first day of my table, if you don't speak well, please bear with me!"

"Little brother, speak boldly! Brother covers you!" The person who spoke was a man of five big and three coarse, and the people who sat at the table with this person were also big men.

Lin Daqi couldn't help but relax a lot, and the people in Kyoto were really polite: "In addition, according to the rules of our industry, on the first day of the table, all of you will have tea and snacks wrapped by me!"

After Lin Daqi finished speaking, he opened the landscape painting fan in his hand to his chest decently, and there was a cheer below.

It feels really good.

Lin Daqi came to confidence, closed the fan and said: "Everyone, if you want to explain the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you must read the Qingzhu book written by Qingzhusheng, which is the so-called Qingzhushu martial arts, and the world knows it!

Letting the audience choose the story is the most difficult, and it is also the most test of a storyteller's strength. Lin Daqi has been following the old man all the year round, and he has read a lot of green bamboo books, so he dares to speak.

As soon as these words came out, the people below were immediately interested.

After a while, a big man who killed a pig shouted in a hoarse voice: "Tell us the story of the magic sword Liu Zu who split the six princes during the period of Emperor Wu of the Gong Dynasty!"

"The stories of the rivers and lakes in the period of Emperor Wu are all out of the cocoon, in my opinion, it is better to tell the story of the family of Chen She, the big sword Yang Ding in the Dezong period, and the big empty fist!"

"What's so good about this story, Lao Tzu heard it once in the Laifu Inn, grinding and chirping, in my opinion, it is better to tell about my dynasty, just tell it...... Let's talk about the heroic deeds of Yang Feng and Yang League's master who single-handedly opened Xishan Pass sixty years ago!"

If you want me to say, you might as well tell me how Long Yingtian, the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, led the Jianghu Martial Arts Heaven and Earth Alliance to attack Taiqing Mountain, and how Jiuxuanmen repelled this Jianghu Alliance. ”

"Okay, okay!" Lin Daqi has long been confident, these guests are miscellaneous, and there must be a few who know each other, so this sentence asked them to choose a story, just to want a lively atmosphere. Although he is also erudite, he is really not sure that he really wants to suddenly tell a story about the rivers and lakes, sort out the causes and consequences, and be smooth and fluent.

I only heard Lin Daqi continue: "Since what you want to hear is different, then I will simply talk about the ranking of martial arts masters on the Qingzhu Hero List in three months!"

After a period of silence, the hustle and bustle resumed, and Lin Daqi was well versed in the truth of mobilizing the atmosphere.

Sure enough, the pig killer asked first: "You are not Qingzhusheng, how can you know the ranking of martial arts masters?"

"That's it!"

"Your kid is still young, and you haven't experienced anything on the rivers and lakes, how do you know?"

Now everyone asked in unison, Lin Daqi opened the fan again, and said confidently: "Rank, wait for you and listen quietly! If most of you disagree with the ranking I said, just express your opinions! Today we are an interaction, not my words!"

There were sparse voices from below, most of them agreeing with Lin Daqi's new way of playing.

Lin Daqi was well versed in the psychology of the audience, and he didn't wait for them to think about it again, Xingmu patted it, and then continued: "This first place, Jiuxuanmen Dao is a real person. ”

Lin Daqi ranked the real person in the first place, but he didn't say anything. Just one summer night five years ago, a ray of light suddenly rose to the sky on Taiqing Mountain, like day. At that time, within a radius of a hundred miles, the swords on the mansions of various sects and factions were ringing non-stop, and even the long swords placed in the blacksmith shop for the lord were also contending.

In the previous ranking of the Qingzhu Hero List, Dao Qi Zhenren was in second place, but after this night, it was rumored that Dao Qi Zhenren had practiced the Heavenly Sword and reached the peak of the Infinite Sea Realm.

You must know that there are only three people on the rivers and lakes who can be called the Infinite Sea Realm, one Daomen, two Buddhism Gates, and the first Buddhist Guangde Master to reach the Infinite Sea Realm, but he is only humble and only reached the Infinite Sea Realm, if the Taoist real person really reached the peak realm of the Infinite Sea Realm as rumored in the rivers and lakes, then the first is really well-deserved.

Although the people below have some opinions, they can also say that the truth of the Dao Qi surpasses the first place in the ranking of Master Guangde of Buddhism.

In this era, the common people live a rich life and no longer have to worry about food and drink, so those rumors outside their ordinary life, such as those in temples and rivers and lakes, are the topics they are happy to talk about and are willing to care about.
