Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 286: Mr. Hao, the Storyteller

Wang Xiaohu followed Su He and the others to rest for more than an hour, then said goodbye and went back. He wanted to quickly follow some of Su He's ideas, which could all earn money.

Before leaving, Su He's father promised him: "There will be a good day in a few days. It will be the ninth day of the first lunar month. Please come over for tea then."

Wang Xiaohu gladly accepted the invitation and promised to come and show his support, and also bring a few brothers with him.

After he left, Su He followed his family and began to carefully check everywhere, guarding against any inconsiderateness. At this time, the weather was not too cold, just right for the teahouse to open. People came here to drink tea and listen to books, which was a good place for leisure and entertainment.

The storyteller that Su He invited this time had worked here before. She found out through someone that he was currently free at home. Her father went to find the storyteller, had a good chat with him, and gave him a story that Su He had written.

He liked it very much and wanted to compile it into a book. Su He's father signed a contract with him and negotiated a salary. He will stay here to tell stories, and the stories will be given to him one after another, so he can keep updating.

Before Su He invited him, he also sent someone to inquire about the storyteller Mr. Hao. He was an upright person and did not like to tell stories about women. He mainly told historical stories. There were only two or three teahouses in Fenggou City, and only two of them could tell stories. The other one had its own storyteller, who was invited by the original owner, but who knew that the business could not continue and went bankrupt.

He was thinking about trying somewhere else, as this city wasn't working. But the Su family took over the teahouse and wanted to continue running it, so they brought him back, and he didn't have to move with his family.

He felt that the Su family's teahouse was worth watching this time, as they came prepared, which directly gave him a new story. Unlike the previous owner, who didn't care about anything and let him make his own decisions, as long as there was a story to tell.

But he only knew the same old stories, and the guests got bored after listening to them. He was just a storyteller, and he didn't have much knowledge, so he couldn't make up new stories. Later, when he saw that fewer and fewer people were listening to his stories, he became anxious, but the owner didn't care, so he closed the shop.

The owner of the Su family asked him to tell a story first, and after listening to his level, he gave him a new story, and said that he would give him more stories from time to time in the future. Why would he not want to do that? It is such a good thing to meet a good master and make money. His requirements are not high, just to be paid on time.

He has been helping out in the teahouse these days, and when he asked the guys there, they all said the new owner was very nice. They were all bought, and when they arrived, they were given new clothes, and their meals were provided, and they were not beaten or scolded.

He was even more relieved. If he didn't treat his servants harshly, then what would happen to him? He just needed to tell stories well and keep the guests with his skills. He didn't need to worry about not getting paid.

Over the past few days, the teahouse has been completely renovated and decorated elegantly and quietly. It looks very different from before. It is still the same place, but you can no longer tell what it was like before.

Just the pots and pans placed there look so beautiful. I heard that they were all carefully selected by the owner, and some were specially made. From this point alone, it can be seen that the owner has spent a lot of thought on it. Anyway, everyone who has seen it says it is quite good.

Su He saw that everyone was busy, so he asked everyone to separate and take care of their own areas, and then check carefully to see if there was anything missing. He also told everyone that the store would open on the 9th of this month, so they must be well prepared and have a good start.

They have been preparing for such a long time, and now it's just the first day of opening. The news that Su He is ready to open has been spread in the past few days, and he has also invited people to go to crowded places to talk about it.

Su He prepared a lot of gifts that day, and she would give them to everyone who came. For those who came to watch the fun, she bought some dried fruit snacks and would give them out to everyone. She wanted to give out candies, but they were too expensive, so she couldn't afford them, so dried fruit snacks were more economical.
