Chapter 132 Storytellers
"Can't make it? Why?" Lin Xuan frowned.
The blueprints I drew so hard, I actually told myself that I couldn't make them, so I wasn't busy working in vain.
Xu Guangfu explained: "Ordinary craftsmen can only build some ordinary houses. I think the house of Lord Sir is quite different from the normal style of Datang. If it is to be built, only the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry can build it. "
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry could make it, and said: "I will look for the craftsmen, you can buy more bricks and stones first, and I will greet the accountant about the money, you go directly to the accountant Just withdraw."
"In addition, buy me a few more fire kilns outside Chang'an City, I want to use them."
"Yes! I'll do it now." Xu Guangfu replied.
"Go!" Lin Xuan waved his hand.
After Xu Guangfu left, Lin Xuan found Lin Dongyang and explained the matter.
Lin Dongyang didn't object. His son was going to marry the princess soon, so he couldn't be wronged to live in such a small house.
While Lin Xuan and his son were chatting about the details of building the house, the servants reported that Zhao Min had come.
Lin Dongyang nodded and said, "Let him in."
"I've seen you, my lord." Zhao Min saluted.
Lin Dongyang nodded and asked, "Old Zhao, did something happen to the restaurant again?"
Zhao Min said: "Master, young master, after what happened in the restaurant yesterday, the business of the restaurant has become worse and worse."
Yesterday, Lin Xuan and the others left with the official messenger after beating the man.
But the story of them beating people became more and more mysterious.
Some said that the Lord's son was drunk and beat others for no reason.
Some said they robbed women by force.
Anyway, there are all kinds of versions, so many people are afraid to go to Keyunlou for dinner.
Lin Xuan said indifferently: "Don't worry, as long as the food tastes good, the business will gradually improve."
He also knew that what happened yesterday must have had some impact on the business of the restaurant, but rumors are rumors after all, and no one will remember them after a while.
Zhao Min smiled wryly and said, "My lord, the problem is that the cooking dishes in many restaurants now taste almost the same as ours. I'm afraid that after a long time, those customers will go to other restaurants."
The price of Keyunlou is a bit more expensive than other restaurants. Many people still choose Keyunlou because the taste is better than other restaurants.
After those guests went to other restaurants to eat once, they found that the taste of those restaurants was almost the same as that of Keyunlou. Who would come to Keyunlou?
Lin Xuan frowned slightly. He was preparing to build a house, and he didn't know how much it would cost. The Keyun Building couldn't collapse.
Besides, the stir-fry was made by myself, and I can't do those pirated copies, and I can't be laughed to death. This matter is absolutely unbearable.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhao, go back first and find some storytellers. I'll go to the restaurant later!"
"My lord, why are you looking for a storyteller?" Zhao Min was taken aback.
He came to Lin Xuan for help, to see if Lin Xuan could find some new dishes to improve the business of the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan asked him to find some storyteller.
"Uncle Zhao, go find it first, and you'll find out later." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"This..." Zhao Min looked at Lin Dongyang hesitantly.
Lin Dongyang waved his hands and said, "Do as Xuaner says."
Although he didn't know what Lin Xuan's idea was, he believed in Lin Xuan.
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Zhao Min replied.
"Father, keep an eye on Xu Guangfu, I'll go to the restaurant." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Dongyang nodded: "Well, I will keep an eye on it, you go."
Lin Xuan didn't go directly to Keyun Building, but went back to his yard first.
Go to the room, open your treasure chest (a special box for sign-in rewards), and take out three books from it.
The three books are "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Journey to the West", all of which are rewarded for signing in.
After choosing and choosing, Lin Xuan chose "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In fact, "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is the best. After all, there are many characters in it, which everyone knows and must love to listen to.
But "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" has a total of one hundred chapters, more than half of which are about events after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and many of them are about events after Li Shimin's death.
If he took it out, wouldn't he be courting death?
With "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lin Xuan rode a horse, and under the protection of Liu Da and other personal soldiers, he went to Keyun Tower.
When he arrived, Zhao Min was already waiting at the door. Seeing Lin Xuan approaching, he greeted him and said, "My lord, I have found three storytellers. I wonder if it is enough?"
Lin Xuan handed the horse to the soldiers behind him, and said, "Take me to have a look first."
Li Shimin didn't know what was going on, he promised to reward him with a lion, but he still hasn't delivered it, maybe he forgot it?Lin Xuan wondered if he should go to the palace to remind him later.
Lin Xuan looked at the three slovenly and slovenly people in front of him, then turned to Zhao Min and asked, "Is this the storyteller you are looking for?"
You can look for better ones, these people are not very good at first glance, and they are definitely not very good at storytelling.
"My lord, the three of them are quite well-known among the storytellers. Those who are well-known all have employers, so it's not easy to get them in a short time." Zhao Min said.
Lin Xuan was speechless, how could some fame be mixed up like this?
In fact, Lin Xuan was thinking about it. Before the Song Dynasty, storytelling had not yet taken shape, and most of them were telling short stories, and people were tired of hearing those stories.
Without a good story, they can't attract people, and of course they can't make money.
Lin Xuan waved his hands and said, "The three of you take turns telling me a paragraph, let me listen."
Lin Xuan frowned after listening to two people talking.
Storytelling, to put it bluntly, is to tell a story, and the most important thing in telling a story is to have both voice and emotion.
Not only must the tone be ups and downs, but also some body movements, so as to attract people to listen.
As for the two storytellers, although there were some expressions on their faces, the tone of the storytellers was the same as that of those who read with a book, no wonder they got mixed up like this.
Originally, Lin Xuan had given up all hope, and was going to ask Zhao Min to poach someone.
The third storyteller gave him a big surprise.
Lin Xuan looked at the third person and asked, "What's your name?"
"My Lord, the younger one is called Zhang Du." Zhang Du said.
Lin Xuan said to Zhao Min: "Uncle Zhao, I will choose Zhang Du, and the other two will be rewarded with [-] Wen each. Let them go back."
In fact, what Zhang Du said was not particularly good, but it was much better than the other two.
When the other two heard that Lin Xuan rewarded them fifty cents, they said gratefully, "Thank you Sir!"
"Come with me!" Zhao Min led the two out.
"Zhang Du, are you literate?" Lin Xuan asked.
Zhang Du nodded and said, "Little one can read."
Lin Xuan handed over "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and said, "Please take a good look at this book, and start telling stories in the lobby on the first floor from tomorrow. I will give you 500 Wen a month. If you speak well, you will be rewarded."
"Yes yes yes! The small ones must be well-spoken." Zhang Du was very excited when he heard 500 essays a month, and nodded repeatedly.
Lin Xuan said to Zhao Min who just came back: "Uncle Zhao, ask someone to set up a stage in the middle of the hall on the first floor for Zhang Du to use as a storyteller."
Zhao Min asked worriedly, "Master, will this really improve the business of the restaurant?"
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "You will know tomorrow, I still have something to do, so let's go first."
……
Lin Xuan rode a horse and headed for the Ministry of Industry.
"Liu Da, do you know about Longmen County?" Lin Xuan asked Liu Da who was behind him.
Thank you for the monthly tickets of Wolf Roaring Full Moon, Wangyou, Grass, and Death Storm, thank you!
