After dressing as a widow

Just when Lin Zhen was thinking about asking Gu Shuanzi to take a look, his eyelids finally returned to normal, and he blinked: "Suddenly healed, maybe it's because I'm tired from working every night lately."

The business of Zhenyouwei Xiaoshizhai has not been difficult since it started, with a stable income of seven or eight taels a day.

As the weather is getting hotter and the temperature is rising, the hot and spicy Malatang ushered in the worst time of business, but cold noodles and sour plum soup are selling more and more, and the wave of stability attracted by the taste of milk tea Customers, the shop of Zhenyouwei Snacks is never empty.

At the end of last month, the net profit was 210 taels. With a wave of his hand, Lin Zhen gave Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Zhuzi, and Lin Shitou a bonus of one tael.

In addition to himself, Xiaoyao, a half-grown child, took Lin Zhuzi and Lin Shitou to work in the store. He saw how hard it was, and he thought it was worthwhile to give this little bonus.

As for Gu Shuanzi, he was naturally indispensable.

Holding the book, Lin Zhen took Gu Shuanzi to the counter to check out. The shopkeeper of the bookstore had a good memory, and he was very impressed with Lin Zhen, a beautiful brother. Seeing Gu Shuanzi wearing a long robe beside him, he said: "This time I bought With so many books, has your child entered school?"

Lin Zhendao: "Yes, I just had a teacher's ceremony at Mr. Xu's place, and I will start studying tomorrow."

"Master Xu," everyone in the town knows about Master Xu. Firstly, he is very strict with the students, and he also established the rule that no one can go to study with him unless he is eight years old after reading the Thousand Characters Second, because of the living example of Zhong Yan, a 12-year-old scholar is worth admiring everywhere, and Master Xu, who can teach Zhong Yan, will naturally rise with the tide.The shopkeeper of the bookstore said, "Congratulations, maybe this kid will be able to pass the exam for a scholar or something, and he will be exempted from your family's taxes."

Lin Zhen handed over the money and smiled.

After leaving the bookstore, Lin Zhen bought sugar, tea, tapioca flour, and some condiments.

These things consume a lot, and there are not many in the store. I bought them today to save myself from going out again.

The two went back with a big bag and a small bag. Lin Xiaoyao, who had finally taken a breather in the shop, ran out to greet him, and first took the things in Gu Shuanzi's hand: "Brother, how is it? Shuanzi's going to school went well. No?"

"Successful. Our Shuanzi is very good. We can recite the thousand-character prose very well. We will go to school tomorrow."

"Really." Lin Xiaoyao is also happy. He is too busy these days, and his brain is not as good as Gu Shuanzi's. Ask occasionally when you come down.

He thinks that literacy is very useful, at least he can understand the names of some shops on the side of the road when he goes out now. You must know that he was blind before, and these words recognize him but he does not know these words.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyao slapped her head and said to Lin Zhen: "Third brother, that customer who comes to buy milk tea from time to time came to you and said that he had something to discuss with you."

There are not many people who can afford a cup of milk tea at twenty cents, and Lin Xiaoyao is worthy of it every time he comes and goes.

Lin Zhen glanced at the shop, followed the direction of Lin Xiaoyao's finger, saw the old man sitting by the window, nodded, "Well, go in first, and put down the things."

Putting the bought things in the backyard, Lin Zhen walked up to the old man, cupped his fists and said, "Old man, I heard you have something to do with me?"

The old man drinking Hong Kong-style milk tea Gentleman Tea returned the gift, "Boss Lin, please sit down."

In his shop, Lin Zhen naturally had nothing to worry about, and sat opposite the old man.

The old man said: "I have been here since the first day Boss Lin opened, and now I have come here more than a dozen times. I have to say that although Boss Lin is not the smartest person I have ever met, he must be one of the smartest people." The most open-minded."

"Just say this method of selling the book together with the milk tea. I haven't seen anyone do it before."

"Old man's absurd praise," Lin Zhen didn't think that the old man came here just to praise himself, he said, "I'm just picking up people's teeth, old man is here, but what's the matter."

The old man has come to patronize more than ten times, and he has some understanding of Lin Zhen's temperament, so he immediately said: "It's like this, I am the head of Qianhong Opera Troupe, and this time I came to Kyoto from Longnan to perform for a big man, because For some reason, I stayed here for a while, and I am very interested in the script of "Mei Niang" in Boss Lin's shop, and I want to ask Boss Lin if he can sell me the complete script of "Mei Niang".

Lin Zhen thought that the old man came for his milk tea recipes and spicy hot recipes. After all, these are the signs in his shop, and many people have already visited this month.

I didn't expect it to be for "Mei Niang", a small gift in a blind box that serves as a supplement to milk tea.

He said: "The host bought "Mei Niang" because he wanted to make a play?"

"The story of "Mei Niang" is very interesting. The characters in our class are just suitable for "Mei Niang". It should be very good when it comes out, so I came to Boss Lin and asked if Boss Lin has this meaning." The class leader thought But it is not as calm as it seems on the surface. The nobleman in the capital likes to listen to operas. Every year on his birthday, he will put on a big show, singing for ten days and a half months.

These theater troupes gathered in the capital, of course, in order to hug those rich and wealthy officials who specially selected the theater troupe and wanted to hug that nobleman, so they didn't panic because they had a backer behind them.

But good stories and good actors are rare, and the class leader finally cultivated a good actor, and he wanted to cry without tears to those books that were almost sung badly.

It was purely a whim to enter Zhenyouwei Snack Studio that day. As a well-known theater troupe in Longnan, the troupe owner has no shortage of money, and a cup of milk tea for twenty cents is just commonplace for him.

But "Mei Niang" placed under the milk tea cup made his eyes shine, and just as the corner of the class was feeling a little unwell, he decided to spend some time here and buy the latest sixth chapter of "Mei Niang" I can't wait to come to Lin Zhen in the future.

"Mei Niang" was written by Lin Zhen casually out of his head. It tells the story of a handsome, gentle, and talented scholar who went to Beijing to rush for an exam, but there was a plum flower demon in the rented yard, which led to the plum blossom demon and The relationship between them is actually not that simple. In their previous lives, one was a son of a noble family, and the other was a talented lady from an official family.

However, the mountains and rivers are broken and the country is in turmoil. The husband and wife of Qin Se and Ming struggled to support each other in the troubled times, but they were still on different sides, and they never saw each other in the end.

The lady of the official family was too obsessed, and when she died, she spit out her heart on the plum blossoms, and became a plum blossom demon, waiting for hundreds of years to reunite with her reincarnated husband.

However, after crossing the Naihe bridge, is the husband who drank Mengpo soup the one she has been waiting for all the time?

A scholar with great talent and learning, a high school champion, made a marriage contract with the daughter of a court minister, and the evil spirit of the plum blossom demon attracted the Taoist priest who exorcised the demon...

Lin Zhen purposely wrote the past lives of the plum blossom demon and the scholar in an extremely sweet way, making the separation of this loving couple even more tear-jerking.

Coupled with the fact that the plum blossom demon's infatuation has not changed for hundreds of years, and the reincarnated scholar no longer knows his former lover. It is no exaggeration to say that "Mei Niang" has become a huge hit in the town, and more than half of the people are Of the milk tea bought for "Mei Niang", the remaining half are the real supporters of milk tea.

As for "Fairy Journey", it is more popular among men, and the money spent by men is not as crazy as Nu Niang and Ge Er, and its sales volume is slightly lower than that of "Mei Niang".

Lin Zhen looked at the old man: "My friend who wrote the storybook will be very happy if the storybook can be arranged into a play by the old man, but you have also seen it, old man, this "Mei Niang" is loved by so many people in the town , put it in other places, I am afraid it will not be inferior."

"I don't think the old man is just talking like that. You give me a price first, and I will estimate whether it can be sold for my friend."

Lin Zhen is a businessman, "Mei Niang" can make a lot of money in milk tea, so he has nothing to give up.

The old man stroked his beard and stretched out two fingers: "80 taels, what does Boss Lin think?"

"80 taels is too low. To tell you the truth, my friend used "Mei Niang" to come to my shop as a partner. If he sells a cup of milk tea, I will give him part of the money. Although the 80 taels seems a lot , but as long as the milk tea is sold for a long time, it is not difficult to earn the 80 taels."

"Boss Lin, after I take this book back, I still need to arrange for a play with a master, and I have to order costumes. It takes a long time to rehearse before I can perform on stage. The cost involved is not small, no matter how much I have, I will..."

"Old man," Lin Zhen didn't believe him, "Since you can see "Mei Niang", it means that "Mei Niang" has some ingenuity in your heart, as long as your troupe is selected, it will be the first one. Those who perform this play are afraid that no guests will go to see it."

"Even if other theater troupes want to follow suit, they will have to wait for a while, by then your name will already be known."

Lin Zhenzhen touched on the itch of the class leader, in their line of work, reputation is more important than anything else, as long as the reputation is loud, even a bowl of plain water dares to call out the price of honey water.

He ran so far to Kyoto, not just for this.

The old man took a sip of Junzi tea: "Boss Lin..."

Lin Zhen didn't play sloppy, and said directly: "For 200 taels, Lin will immediately offer the first six chapters and the last four chapters of "Mei Niang" with both hands, and will not sell it to anyone else."

The class leader shook his head again and again: "It's too expensive, too expensive."

The two came and went, and finally a deal was made for 180 taels. Lin Zhen immediately went to the room in the backyard to sell the first six rounds that had been sold with milk tea, including the last four rounds that had not yet started selling, to the troupe owner. .

The head of the theater troupe took over the complete Mei Niang, and couldn't wait to turn to the next four times. After watching the development of the plot that he was thinking about a few times, his eyes became brighter and brighter: "Good! Excellent!"

His face was flushed with excitement, and he said to Lin Zhen: "I will cover up any scripts written by Boss Lin's friends in the future!"

"My old man is running all over the world, I don't know when we will meet again." Lin Zhen laughed.

The class leader who plans to be resident in Kyoto in the future smiled: "Yes, the little old man is here to wish Boss Lin a prosperous business and a wealth of money."

Lin Zhen also returned the gift with a smile: "I also wish the class leader a hit and a lot of success."

The team leader thinks that Boss Lin is really a wonderful person.
