Chapter 112: Reluctantly Invited
"That "Ying Ning", you haven't finished talking yet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" and Xiaohuan's eyes sparked, the girl turned her head again, looked at Li Yi and said.
Just now she has told Grandpa Sun the full version of the story of "Painted Skin", and after listening to "Infant Ning", Grandpa Sun has another story that others don't know, which can attract many guests.
Grandpa Sun only talked twice about the first half of "Painted Skin", and the number of guests in the hook bar today is several times that of the past, although most of them came to listen to the painted skin, but when they saw singing and dancing, acrobatics and the like, they were in a good mood, and they would also reward some money, they did not receive much reward from Grandpa Sun, but they were all in the same hook column, and they were also affected by some benign influences.
If she could receive so much bounty every day, she would be able to afford the hairpin she had been thinking about for a long time.
"Next time, next time when you want to hear it, just climb the wall again." Li Yi drank tea while watching the singing and dancing on stage.
This kind of occasion and atmosphere, in fact, should knock melon seeds, watermelons exist in the world, but I don't know if they have the habit of eating melon seeds.
The girl's face showed disappointment, although she didn't like to climb the wall very much, but for the sake of a new story, she could only endure it.
After a song and dance, after the women picked up the bounty money on the stage, Li Yi saw the old storyteller walk to the stage again.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hook bar became more active.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about "Painted Skin"."
"This time, if you use "next decomposition" to fool Lao Tzu, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”
……
……
Seeing that everyone was urging one after another, even the expression on Li Yi's face was slightly stunned.
How popular is painted skin in this world?
At this moment, the old man stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the voices of the crowd immediately stopped, and several men who were still chatting for unknown reasons were immediately stopped.
The atmosphere in the hook bar suddenly became quiet.
From noise to silence, it's just a breath or two.
The old man was still regretting that the young girl on the stage had been replaced by an old man, and was startled by the sudden silence, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Brush!
Dozens of people turned their heads at the same time, and the corner suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
In the old man's innocent face, the old man had already begun to speak.
Considering that there were new guests, the old man started from the beginning, and the faces of the guests who had already heard it did not show impatience, and the expressions on the faces of those who heard it for the first time changed from doubts to concentration, and then began to turn a little pale.
Xiaohuan has already heard "Painted Skin", although this old man is more terrible than her aunt when she speaks, but she has developed immunity and will not run away in fright.
"This old man is quite good at scaring people." The old man whispered while listening.
With his temperament, he will not be frightened by the old man, if there is really a ghost who dares to scare him like this, he will most likely be beaten to death by him again.
Having memorized the whole story, the old man did not stop there when he got to the last interruption, but continued to tell.
Those who had been fooled twice by him immediately relieved their hearts, and this time they were finally able to listen to the rest of the story, and threw a lot of bounty money at them......
There was a rain of copper coins on the stage, the wrinkles on the old man's face bloomed, and the storytelling became more attentive.
Seeing those people throwing the reward money vigorously, Li Yi's expression was stunned again.
It's just a ghost story, and it's so profitable?
It seems that in another world, when Pu Songling wrote "Liao Zhai", he was still poor, but being told by a storyteller here has such an outstanding effect?
In this way, I used a "Painted Skin" and only exchanged a few pieces of osmanthus cake, which was a bit of a loss.
He turned his head to look at the girl named Xiaozhu, but he didn't expect her to be so shrewd at her age.
Feeling Li Yi's gaze at her, the girl secretly exclaimed in her heart, seeing this scene today, if she wants to hear any more stories from him in the future, it is not as simple as going to Ruoqing's sister to steal a few osmanthus cakes.
The story of "Infant Ning" is only half told.
If I had known, I wouldn't have wanted Grandpa Sun to tell stories at this time......
Looking at the expression on his face, I am afraid that he is also regretting telling that story, such a story, in the tile market, can be sold for a not low price.
Li Yi didn't regret it, the reward that the old man got was not as much as the profit from selling a bottle of Ruyilu, he was just curious about the entertainment in this world.
These people watch the show in the hook column, and they will give rewards when they are happy to watch, and these rewards are ordinary excellent actors, as well as the main source of income for these storytellers, and the reward is not much, and they can only make a living.
Compared with the stars of later generations, participating in a movie, a TV series, attending a commercial performance, and paying tens of millions of dollars at every turn, these seniors are too miserable.
In any era, the entertainment industry should be a relatively easy industry to make money, and the entertainment industry in this world obviously has a lot of room for development.
In layman's terms, there is still a lot of room to make money.
As the weather gradually enters winter, the mosquitoes are almost frozen to death, and the daughters no longer need it to repel mosquitoes, and in the cold weather, the students and literati are not easy to doze off, and the business of Ruyilu gradually cools down, and sometimes a few bottles can not be sold in a day.
As for the spirits, although they have always been in short supply, this thing is too wasteful of food, and it can't be brewed without restrictions, most of the people in Jingguo are still hovering on the food and clothing line, and they can't even eat enough, even if it is Ning Wangfu, they can't waste food without scruples, in case they are targeted by the imperial historians, I'm afraid even King Ning will have a headache.
As a result, several breweries have closed their doors recently, and Ruyilu produces a small amount of spirits, and the supply of spirits is limited, and the amount of silver that comes in every day is naturally greatly reduced.
Of course, he has a lot of savings during this time, and he will not be short of money to spend, but things such as buying a house in Fucheng can only be pressed back.
As for soaps and perfumes that have not been launched for personal use, they are not suitable for this season, and it is necessary to think about new ways to make money.
At this moment, he just has such a thought, the most urgent thing at the moment is to heal his injuries first.
He turned his attention to the old man again, and what he said was slightly different from what he had told the little girl, and he was afraid that he had made small changes to cater to the audience.
I have to say that this old man is really professional, even if Li Yi already knows the complete story, listening to him tell it, he still has some cold hairs standing on end.
This time, the old man didn't play the routine anymore and told the story honestly.
Everyone in the audience applauded, and the reward was naturally indispensable, and when the old man retreated, it took a lot of time to clean up the reward money on the ground.
Li Yi is here purely to pass the time, Xiaohuan and Lao Fang accompanied him, the girl opposite stayed for a while and left, when Li Yi turned his head for a moment, he saw the old man who was telling the story just now coming over, and the girl followed him.
"Today's matter, thank you to the son, one of these rewards should belong to the son." The old man put a small cloth bag on the table and said with a smile on his face.
"What do you mean?" Li Yi looked at him suspiciously.
"If it weren't for the "Painted Skin" mentioned by the child, the little old man would not have received so much reward, and the childe would not have shirked the money." The old man explained.
He told the story of "Painted Skin" without Li Yi's consent in advance, although it was obtained by Xiaozhu in exchange for a few pieces of hanging flower cakes, but only when Li Yi accepted the money, he could continue to tell the story with confidence.
"Yes, Childe, you can take it." The girl also said on the side.
"In that case, then I will be disrespectful." Li Yi nodded and took the bag, which was full of copper coins and heavy.
Seeing Li Yi accept it, the old man put his heart at ease, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Little old man still has a reluctant request......
