Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

The contemptuous expression on Shopkeeper Lu's face gradually froze, and he turned the first page half-doubtfully. After a while, his originally leisurely and contented expression was replaced by an indescribable shock.

His hands began to tremble slightly, his heartbeat quickened, his breathing became rapid, and in those eyes that had seen so much, there was now a complex mixture of nervousness, surprise, and disbelief.

"Aqiang, immediately! Right now! Invite the boss back! We must get this work!"

Shopkeeper Lu's voice was filled with unquestionable determination. At that moment, he seemed to foresee the earth-shaking changes that this work would bring to the teahouse.

Shopkeeper Lu's eyes sparkled with childlike excitement, and his face was filled with curiosity, as if he had suddenly returned to his innocent childhood: "Is there really a sequel to this story? Did that clever and eccentric monkey finally walk out of the foot of the majestic mountain smoothly and continue its adventure?"

Zhang Lao Er smiled gently and answered patiently, "Of course there is. In order to prevent the fun from fading too quickly, we will carefully prepare a new chapter every five days, just like a trickle of water, to bring you and all the listeners continuous surprises."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Lu's eyes flashed with anxiety: "Why not give it all at once? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable this way?"

Zhang Laoer waved his folding fan, smiling with a hint of cunning: "Shopkeeper, you don't know, this is not a short anecdote, but a huge work with rich and long content. If I present it all at once, wouldn't it reduce the desire and expectation of the waiting? As the saying goes, 'scarcity makes things valuable'. With your expectation, the response of customers is self-evident."

Shopkeeper Lu's mind suddenly became clear, as if he could foresee the huge amount of money coming in like a tide, and he couldn't help feeling happy.

Not long after, a key figure appeared.

The owner Fan Yunfu walked into the teahouse under the guidance of Aqiang. To the shock of everyone present, this owner was none other than the famous Fan Yunfu in Beijing.

His presence undoubtedly added some weight to the party.

The moment Fan Yunfu reunited with Zhang Wuya and her husband, his eyes were sparkling with surprise and joy.

Such a coincidence undoubtedly gave him more opportunities to meet his sweetheart Yiyi more frequently, and he was secretly delighted.

After carefully listening to Shopkeeper Lu's detailed introduction to the cooperation, Fan Yunfu nodded without hesitation and agreed to the 50-50 split proposal. He also revealed that the Beijing branch would also adopt the book and the proceeds would also be shared equally.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Liyun's smile was as bright as a flower. She knew very well that the teahouse in the capital was a frequent gathering place for princes and nobles. This meant that there would be immeasurable profits. The small villa she had always dreamed of seemed to be not far from realization.

Afterwards, Fan Yunfu spread out a carefully prepared cooperation agreement and read it aloud to Zhang Laoer. After confirming that the terms were correct, the two solemnly signed their names on the document and carefully stamped it with the official seal to show its formality and authority.

Zhang Lao Er smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Master Fan!"

"Uncle Zhang, our cooperation will be a win-win situation!"

As soon as Manager Qu got the new manuscript, he couldn't wait to turn around and walk backstage, his heart full of longing for an unknown story.

"Teacher Hong, a hot new story is here. Please taste it first and think about it carefully. Tomorrow in the teahouse, we will unveil the mystery of the new chapter of Journey to the West!"

Shopkeeper Qu's words were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Mr. Chen took the manuscript, feeling confused. In the past, stories were all in books, so why were there only a few pages today?

But when he began to read the words written on the paper, he was soon immersed in them. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he secretly praised the fascinating story.

"Shopkeeper Qu, why is there only such a short part of this story?"

Mr. Chen looked a little confused.

Shopkeeper Qu smiled but said nothing. He slowly explained the deep meaning behind the story: "Every five days, Boss Zhang will send us a new plot. This story is very long. You see, once the curiosity of the audience is aroused, they will naturally come to listen to the next part day after day, and the money will naturally follow."

Mr. Chen suddenly realized and exclaimed in praise. He ran straight to the backyard with the manuscript in his pocket, silently repeating to himself that he must not only memorize it thoroughly, but also tell the story vividly and vividly, so as to live up to the name of a storyteller.

The next morning, Xu Zicheng and Tan Yulin spread the news by word of mouth in Minghua Academy that Qingting Teahouse was about to start teaching a new chapter of "Journey to the West".

Some scholars decided to join in the fun after dinner out of curiosity; others thought it was more practical to study hard and prepare for exams after dinner.

While selling her signature snack, wolf-tooth potatoes, Xu Liyun also did not forget to promote the teahouse's new activities to customers.

"Hey, have you heard? The storytelling scene at the Qingting Teahouse in the east of the city is very popular. Every night from 7 to 9 o'clock, they tell Journey to the West. It's so exciting!"

Xu Liyun’s recommendations are always so enthusiastic and direct.

Those who can taste her delicious snacks usually have the leisure time to do so. Spending ten or twenty cents to go to a teahouse to drink tea and listen to books is just a small matter for them.

The Zhang family's income depends on these two hours every day.

The profit-sharing model of the teahouse meant that at every certain time, the accountant would begin to busy himself with tallying up the accounts of those who spent money on listening to books.

As the sun was setting, the Zhang family finished their dinner and immediately headed for Qingting Teahouse.

When we arrived, we saw Fan Yunfu already sitting leisurely in a private room on the second floor.

Zhang Wuya was wearing a light blue gauze dress and was chatting and laughing with her younger sister Xiao Youniang. This scene happened to fall into Fan Yunfu's sight.

When Shopkeeper Qu saw the Zhang family arriving, he hurried forward to greet them and led them upstairs one by one.

After some pleasantries, everyone sat around, waiting with bated breath for the story to begin.

Thanks to the publicity during the day, the teahouse is particularly lively today.

As soon as Mr. Chen stepped onto the stage, all eyes in the audience were on him.

"Snapped!"

With the sound of the wake-up stick, Mr. Chen bowed, took a sip of tea, and slowly spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight I am honored to present to you Master Chen Enming's masterpiece Journey to the West, which is a magnificent epic that tells the story of how Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng protected Tang Monk on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, overcoming numerous difficulties and finally achieving success."

He gave a concise and vivid opening introduction according to the framework outlined by Xu Zicheng.

There were discussions in the audience, and some people exclaimed: "This is much more interesting than the "Yang Family Generals" a few days ago!"

"Snapped!"

The topic changed.

"It is said that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth favored the path of spiritual cultivation. On the top of the Flower and Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country in Dongsheng Shenzhou, a stone monkey was born from a fairy stone..."

The audience in the audience was mesmerized by the performance. The aroma of tea, wine, and melon seeds became the best accompaniment to this auditory feast.
