Your Talent Is Good; It’s Now Mine Chapter 121: A thunderbolt
The storytelling sheds on Damen Stone Street will not open until the Yao Bell Tower rings five times.
No one will come to listen to the book early in the morning, everyone must have a good meal;
No one came to listen to the book at noon, it was hot and sunny, and most people were working;
It was not until the afternoon and evening that people got off work one after another, and they got paid after a hard day. They would come to Damen Stone Street to have a good meal and listen to books by the way.
The storytelling industry has never depended on rewards to eat - I would have starved to death by rewards. No matter what era, there are far more **** for free than the one-click three-run.
Most of them are attached to the restaurants next to them. Some restaurants will put the dining table outside, and some restaurants even let storytellers tell stories inside the store. The main purpose is to attract customers.
After all, people at this time can't watch videos and play mobile phones when they eat, but it is really boring to eat, and storytellers, as an entertainment that everyone can enjoy together after a meal, naturally flourishes gradually.
As a storyteller, Luan Jiba's dream is to be seated on the second floor of Jinbi Restaurant. The Jinbi Restaurant on Damen Stone Street has a total of four floors. The first floor is the lobby, the third and fourth floors are the lounges, and only the second floor is the lobby.
The storyteller hired by Jinbi Restaurant sat in the middle tea seat on the second floor, with a fan in one hand and a teacup in the other. The whole lobby could hear the story when he told the story, and the audience applauded when he talked about the famous scene, and when he talked about sadness Everyone wept there, and was called the middle seat.
Now Jinbi's middle seat is the so-called 'three-in-one' Mr. Hu Luan Hu and his three apprentices. Mr. Hu is now in his 50s. He is proficient in various techniques of 'Xinyimen', 'Rouge Zhai', 'Yuyin School', and even introduced the old and brought forth new ones. In terms of plot and thoughts, he can be called the number one storyteller in Xuanzhu County.
Mr. Hu is not in Jinbi all day. He only talks about five days a week, four of which are high-end restaurants in the inner city. Only one day will come to Jinbi, but on that day, Jinbi will be full The venue was full, and countless people were looking forward to it, just to listen to Mr. Hu's shock.
Mr. Hu has been telling stories for thirty-six years. The former county governor praised him for 'there are voices and love in the book', and the current county governor Yun Qinghe gave him a word "golden lotus on the tongue". Mr. Hu's status as a storyteller and grandfather.
When the storytellers talk about Mr. Hu's level, it is a worthwhile trip to his life. In the eyes of Luan Jiba and other storytellers, Mr. Hu is their idol.
Of course, Luan Jiba was not arrogant enough to want to take the place of Mr. Hu, but Mr. Hu only came to Jinbi for one day, and the rest of the time, the three disciples of Mr. Hu were in charge of Jinbi. Naturally talented geniuses like Mr. Hu are in the minority. Although his three apprentices are not bad, none of them can inherit the three-rate skills of 'Hu Liu', and they can only be regarded as ordinary storytellers.
If it wasn't for Mr. Hu, how could the three apprentices be able to sit firmly in the middle seat of Jinbi?
But now that Mr. Hu is old, it is estimated that it will not be a few years. Luan Jiba feels that there is still some hope for him to compete with those three apprentices for the golden seat.
Now the restaurant Luan Jiba is affiliated with is a restaurant called 'Forklift Man'. It is said that the owner used to be responsible for transporting forklifts when building the outer city, and he did all the work for the workers at that time. Learned at mealtime.
Luan Jiba lives next to the 'forklift man'. When he passed by the door, the proprietress who was cleaning the shop glanced at him: "I've made less meals at noon, I don't have your share, you Find yourself a place to eat. Or you can pay."
Luan Jiba was a little embarrassed. At this time, the boss came out of the back kitchen and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about, just go in and pick vegetables if you don't want to sweep the floor, go and go."
"Why are you roaring so loudly? You're only arguing with me. What's the use of you besides being louder, and I don't see you yelling loudly to yell at the guests." , threw down the broom and went into the kitchen.
"Brother Chen..."
"Don't listen to that yellow-faced woman, come over for dinner later." The boss waved his hand and said, "If you have a bite of your brother Chen, you will have to take a bite. She has been very angry recently, so don't take it to heart." /
"No, no, no." Luan Jiba said quickly: "I'll just deal with it myself at noon. I'm busy reading the new book and preparing it. Brother Chen, you don't have to prepare my share."
"New book?"
"Yes, Vulcan Biography Volume VI, I asked the boss to buy it back."
The boss happily patted Luan Jiba on the shoulder and said, "Well done, life has its ups and downs, just get through it. I'll save you a meal, and I'll deliver it to you later. ~IndoMTL.com~ How can I not be full?"
Before Luan Jiba refused, the boss turned around and went back to the kitchen. Hearing that the boss and the proprietress in the back kitchen started arguing again, Luan Jiba gave a wry smile and went back to his hut.
His home is not big, there are books and manuscripts everywhere, messy and dirty, the cleanest is the blue and white robe hanging on the wall - that's what he does when he comes to power, and he can't be sloppy.
The cooperation between Luan Jiba and the "Forklift Man" is that the "Forklift Man" provides him with meals. If the turnover on the day exceeds a certain amount, they will split the account between six and four. But since the newcomer robbed Luan Jiba of many customers, the turnover of the "Forklift Man" continued to decline, not to mention sharing the account with Luan Jiba, even maintaining the business was a bit reluctant.
He doesn't blame the proprietress for being rude to him - he really is the equivalent of eating rice now. There is no attendance award these days. As long as he can't attract guests, it's useless for him to be rude.
He bet all his hopes on the sixth volume of Vulcan!
Luan Jiba briefly flipped through the sixth volume and decided to talk about the first five chapters today, so he began to read it in depth. Their 'Yuyin School' requires a deep understanding of the characters, and 'dialogue' is the winning method of the Yuyin School, so he has to try a few paragraphs first, adjust his voice to better fit the identity of the book's people, and the characters that will appear All characters are assigned different voice lines, so that the listeners can hear the different characters.
Time passed quickly, and after a while, the proprietress opened the door with a snap, put down a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup and left. Luan Ji thanked him hurriedly and hurriedly finished his meal, then continued his study.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Luan Jiba finally read through the first five chapters of the sixth volume, and gave a quick trial lecture. He was confident that he would give the old and young men a surprise tonight.
After sitting all day, Luan Jiba was also tired, so he pushed open the door and went out for a walk.
Just after walking two steps down the street, Luan Jiba suddenly heard two passers-by saying, "Hurry up and grab a seat, or you'll be full later."
"I didn't expect a new volume of the Legend of Vulcan finally came out. I'm so thankful for the flowers!"
The Legend of Vulcan! ?
Luan Jiba's eyes flickered. Although he also knew that "The Legend of Vulcan" was a must for storytellers, he didn't expect someone to crash with him - even if he was ahead of the progress by a day or two. what!
But Luan Jiba is not in a hurry. After all, there are so many storytellers, and there are loyal audiences at Xinyimen, Rougezhai, and Yuyin School. If someone from other genres said "Vulcan Biography", it would not affect Luan Jiba's business.
But Luan Jiba felt uneasy for a while, so he followed the two of them to see who was going to talk about "Vulcan Biography" today.
However, the more he walked, the more uneasy Luan Jiba felt in his heart. When he saw the two walking into the 'cold noodle girl' shop, his anxiety reached its peak!
He saw a notice hanging on the wall in front of the cold noodle girl shop:
"At 5:00 pm, Xia Che will start the lecture on the sixth volume of "The Legend of Vulcan" on time. Yuyin broadcasts ten chapters in a row!"
Xia Che, it's you again!
Luan Jiba didn't even know how he got home. He only had one thing in his mind - it's over!
Xia Che is the one with Yuyin who is younger than him, has a liver, and even has a louder voice than him!
He could never have imagined that Xia Che actually got the "Vulcan Biography" today!
What's the deal now? He talks about five chapters, others talk about ten chapters; he talks about tenth chapters tomorrow, and people talk about a third of them tomorrow; just halfway through he talks, people talk about the sixth volume.
They are both from the Jade Sound School. There is not much difference between Luan Jiba and Xia Che. Except for a few **** listeners, everyone else will definitely follow Xia Che's latest progress!
Even if he studies Chapters 6 to 10 right now, his voice won't allow him to even say Chapter 10!
This is over, this is over...
Luan Jiba lay on the bed in despair, turned over, and suddenly caught sight of the "Youth Daily" he bought and kept.
Looking at the heroic and alluring cover of "Policewoman in Yanjing", Luan Jiba couldn't help but imagine that there would really be policewomen in such enchanting clothes patrolling the streets of Yanjing.
With this kind of policewoman, Yanjing's crime rate must be very high. Who doesn't want to be arrested by her!
Thinking about it, Luan Jiba, a young man with strong vigour and suffering setbacks, kept looking at the cover and tore off his waistband...
Just when Luan Jiba was about to get busy with sewing, the wind blew through the window and the newspaper opened another page. He clicked his tongue and was about to reach out and turn back to the cover page, but he couldn't help but be attracted by the contents of the second page of the newspaper.
…
…
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Hui Bell Tower rang five times in a row. Most of the workers finished their busy work during the day and either went home to eat at home, or went to a restaurant to find food to fill their stomachs.
Damen Stone Street is undoubtedly the first choice for low-income people: cheap, abundant, delicious (from the perspective of the poor), and there are many entertainment nearby, where you can watch people play cards and listen to books.
And Xia Che from the 'Lengmian Girl' shop wanted to tell the news about the sixth volume of the Legend of Vulcan, and it had already spread all over Damen Stone Street. Many off-duty workers heard the news and rushed to the Lengnian Girl side.
Leibu is a big fan of "Vulcan Biography". He has listened to the first five volumes of Vulcan Biography many times, and he recites all the famous quotes in it. Hearing this kind of good news, he hardly looked at other stores, and headed straight for the cold noodle girl.
When passing by the "Forklift Man", Reb glanced at the storytelling shed outside. He remembered that this storyteller also liked to talk about the Legend of Vulcan, but he spoke too slowly, only a few chapters a day, not as good as the cold noodle girl who could speak a dozen chapters a day, although Leibu felt that the 'forklifter' Delicious than 'Cold Noodle Girl', but listening to the book is more important.
At this moment, Leibu heard a deafening shout from the book shed, as well as a gavel that pointed directly to the heart:
"If tomorrow was the end of the world, what would you do!?"
Lei Bu and the diners nearby were stunned, and looked blankly at Luan Jiba in the storytelling shed.
After drinking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Luan Jiba said, "The first respondent is named Chief Secretary, she is a female swordsman of the Yanjing patrol guard. She answered this question like this— —”
Luan Jiba used a fan to cover his face, and a weak and strong girl voice came out:
"For me, this is not a question, but an answer."
"I can't hope that tomorrow will be the end of the world, and that everyone will receive a just and fair final judgment - death."
"In this place in Yanjing, the 'doomsday' is not an illusory existence, but a real reality - rich merchants, powerful people, nobles, their existence is the end of the bottom people."
"When I first joined the Yanjing patrol guard, I felt that there were too many bad people and too few good people in this world, so I wanted to kill all the evil and protect the good. Over the years, I have indeed killed a lot of evil, and I have protected the bad. Less kindness; but more often, in the face of treacherous evil, I have to stand by and watch, and in the face of kindness, I have to swing the butcher’s knife.”
"The captain told me that this is to protect the overall situation. The captain is a good person. I believe in the captain. I also understand the overall situation - the political struggle in Yanjingli is too complicated. Don't move, otherwise once it is overturned, it will affect the overall situation of the whole country; sometimes, even if this person is right, he has to go to prison and be executed, otherwise he will not be able to appease the other nobles who hold great power."
"Killing one less person and killing one more person can protect the quiet life of more ordinary people and save more people from war. It is indeed a good deal."
"Also, I'm just an ordinary patrol guard, a seriously ill and dying warrior, what else can I do besides obey orders?"
"So, if tomorrow is really the end of the world, then I look forward to it with all my heart."
"If I hadn't died on the bed at that time, I would have picked up my Qiushui sword to see if I could kill those dignitaries who are on the loose~IndoMTL.com~ After all, tomorrow is the end of the world. , then it doesn't matter. And they are just a bunch of sinners."
At this time, the dining table outside the book shed was already full of people.
The audience was shocked by this crazy remark. In Luan Jiba's vivid imitation, they seemed to see a weak and crazy female swordsman. She originally had a loyal heart, devoted herself to the country, and protected the kindness, but she was hit by reality in a daze. reason.
If everyone were to die tomorrow, not only was she not afraid, she even hoped to kill the sinners before everyone died!
What madness, what tyranny, and what...justice!
'So Yanjing...is similar to Xuanzhu...' Leibu couldn't help sighing.
Pop!
Luan Jiba slapped the gavel and said, "The second respondent is named Nietzsche. He is a linguist, a cultural critic, a composer, and a thinker. His answer is like this—"
"People are in the star carving, just got off the train. For this question, I want to ask a question first, when you close your eyes and fall asleep, do you feel that you are 'sleep' or 'dead'? Second The person who wakes up in the sky, is it 'you', or a 'new man' who has all your memories?..."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it exploded in the hearts of all the listeners!
