Peng Yu first went upstairs and walked around before returning downstairs. There were about 20 tables on the ground floor, and every table was filled with guests. As there were more private rooms on the second floor, there were fewer guests.
He walked around the place and was greeted by a shop assistant.
"Sir, this table is full now. Please wait for a while."
Peng Yu shook her head." It's fine. I'm not here to eat. Is your shopkeeper here?"”
" You're not eating? What are you doing here? Hurry up and get out." The shop assistant sized Peng Yu up, his eyes full of disdain.
The person in front of him was wearing linen clothes with patches on top of patches. It was obvious that he came from a poor family. If Peng Yu was not a customer, he would have chased him away long ago.
" I have a business deal to discuss with him. If I miss it, I won't be able to do it," Peng Yu said indifferently as she saw the other party's gaze.
"Business? With you like this, what business is there to talk about? "Hurry up and get out." The waiter was furious and immediately rushed Peng Yu out.
"What is it?" Just as they were pushing each other, a dignified voice came from upstairs.
" Shopkeeper Li, this kid doesn't want to eat but wants to talk about storytelling in our shop. Isn't he making trouble?" The waiter struck first.
"Storytelling?" Shopkeeper Li stood upstairs and sized up Peng Yu with a mocking smile on his face.
"Young master, our Qingfeng Restaurant is a famous restaurant in the southern city. The people who come are all high officials and nobles. Qiu Xingqiao, chase him out!"
After receiving the order, the waiter's face turned even more ferocious. He took a broom and chased Peng Yu and Peng Xiaolin out of the Qingfeng Restaurant.
"Brother," as soon as she left Qingfeng Restaurant, Peng Xiaolin's mouth became flat. A crystal-clear tear rolled in her eyes, and she almost cried out loud.
" Xiao Lin, it's okay. Nan City is so big. There will definitely be people who will ask us to tell stories." Peng Yu sighed and glanced around at the people who were pointing at him.
In his mind, storytelling was the first art form in the Great Tang. Without seeing a performance, it was impossible to gain the approval of others. However, it was indeed a bit tragic to be kicked out of the house.
However, when he took a glance, he found that there was a restaurant diagonally opposite the Qingfeng Restaurant. The shop sign above said: Hongbin building
This restaurant was about the same size as Qingfeng Restaurant, but there weren't as many people coming and going as Qingfeng Restaurant.
It seemed that their business was not as good as Qingfeng Restaurant's. Thinking about it, it made sense. The location was not as good as Qingfeng Restaurant's. The high-end customers had been snatched away by Qingfeng Restaurant long ago. It would be strange if their business was good.
Peng Yu muttered in her heart as she walked towards Hongbin Restaurant.
" Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper, that kid has gone to Hongbin Restaurant," Er Bao, who had been paying attention to Peng Yu's movements, immediately reported to Shopkeeper Li.
"Hongbin Restaurant? Hmph, only Hongbin Restaurant would take in such trash customers. Er Bao, in the future, do not let any customers with patched clothes in!”Manager Li took a sip of tea, his eyes full of disdain.
Hongbin Restaurant was indeed less crowded than Qingfeng Restaurant, but it was still one of the major restaurants in the Southern City, so it was not as empty as it seemed.
As soon as Peng Yu entered, he could feel the gazes around him. Many guests sized up his clothes and turned to look at his face.
Sure enough, clothes make the man, and horses make the saddle. Peng Yu sighed in her heart.
"Are you the customer who was chased out of the Qingfeng Restaurant?”A waiter immediately came forward with a suspicious expression.
As a direct competitor, it was impossible for him not to know what had happened at the Qingfeng Restaurant.
However, he didn't know why Qingfeng Restaurant would chase this person out. Wasn't everyone here a guest?
" Little brother, I have a business to discuss with your shop manager. Please help me inform him." Peng Yu didn't answer his question at all.
" Alright." The waiter sized Peng Yu up again before running upstairs unwillingly.
After a while, a dark-faced middle-aged man came down from upstairs. Before he could go downstairs, his sharp eyes sized up Peng Yu from head to toe. He even sized up Peng Xiaolin, who was hiding behind Peng Yu and only dared to show her head.
"I'm Zhang Ze. May I know what kind of business you want to discuss?”Zhang Ze walked up to Peng Yu, his eyes full of suspicion.
" I'm Peng Yu. Today, I would like to borrow your restaurant to tell a story. As long as your restaurant dares to let me try, I'm not bragging. I guarantee that your restaurant's business will surpass Qingfeng Restaurant's. Moreover, this restaurant will have to be expanded twice to accommodate so many customers," Peng Yu began to flatter Zhang Ze.
This was a common business trick in the future. Whether it was the boss or the salesperson, when they were recruiting business, they would first brag about the benefits that the product would bring to the other party.
This was especially true for bosses. When hiring, they would first describe the future of the company and then brag about the position of the employees. This was the so-called flattery.
It was impossible for Peng Yu, who had transmigrated from the future, not to be familiar with this, because this was definitely useful for people who had never come into contact with this.
"What is it? If we double the size, wouldn't our Hongbin Restaurant become the number one restaurant in Luoyang? Oh right, what's the storytelling you mentioned?”Zhang Ze widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Doubling the size is no problem. As for storytelling, to put it simply, it's just telling stories. "Find me a table and place it here. Then, find a thick wooden board." Peng Yu pointed at the location.
Zhang Ze and the shop assistant behind him looked at each other, not understanding what Peng Yu wanted to do.
" Go, get him a table and a wooden plank." Zhang Ze hesitated for a moment before ordering the waiter behind him.
After a while, the waiter moved a table and handed a wooden board to Peng Yu.
Peng Yu was speechless when she saw the wooden board.
Big brother, I want a thicker wooden board to make a wakewood. Why did you give me such a long wooden board? This could even be used as a chopping board for cutting vegetables!
The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of some customers in the restaurant. They all shot their gazes over, wondering what was going on here with such a big commotion.
Peng Yu gestured for Zhang Ze and a few waiters to move aside. Then, she raised the wooden board with both hands and slammed it on the table.
" Bang!" A crisp sound echoed throughout the entire Hongbin Restaurant. Everyone was shocked by this sound and turned to look at Peng Yu.
Peng Yu cleared her throat and said in a clear voice," Storytelling and opera make people feel comfortable. The three main roads walk in the middle. Good and evil will always be rewarded. The right path in the world is vicissitudes."
After the storyteller finished his opening speech, the entire place was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop on the ground. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Peng Yu.
