Chapter 290 Your grandson is good
Chapter 290 Your grandson is good
When Old Lady Yang heard what Madam Qi said, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, really no, all the boys in my family know some tricks. If I want to go out in the future, I will tell them in advance and ask them not to go to the teahouse first. There are more than ten boys in my family."
Are you kidding? You can hire guards at home and do whatever you want, but if they are sent by Madam Qi, you can't be rude, right? You can't have the best food and everything, can you really ignore everything? You say that, but I can't really do that. If it gets out, it will ruin the reputation of several of my grandchildren.
Madam Qi is the Queen Mother, and Master Qi is Qi Xingyun’s elder brother. This is how Qi Xingyun introduced them just now.
"You have so many boys in your family? Are they all your grandchildren?" When Mrs. Qi heard that there were more than a dozen boys in the family, she thought they were Grandma Yang's grandchildren, but she had never heard that there were so many people in their family before.
"Not all of them are from my family. They are all the younger generations in our village. They are the same age as my third grandson and fourth grandson. They learned a few moves from my second grandson who was in the military camp. Later, my third grandson was going to open a teahouse in Beijing, so he brought them out to see the world." Old Mrs. Yang said proudly.
Isn't it proud? Qiangzi and his group of more than ten people, since they followed Sanmao to Beijing, the family has one more person's income, which is much better than others. This is also thanks to Sanmao and Xiaocaoer, because Sanmao is very generous to these brothers who came with him from the village, and because they followed him from a long distance, it is impossible for them to earn the same money as in the town, so who would want to come with you, just find a job in the town or county, why leave your hometown like this.
In addition to the normal monthly salary, the income from working in a teahouse also includes all the tips given by the customers, which are put together and recorded in a small book. When the monthly salary is distributed, these tips are also distributed equally to everyone, no matter what position you are in, as long as you work in the teahouse.
This is different from other shops. In other shops, the tips from customers belong to individuals, but in their teahouse, it belongs to everyone, so everyone gets along well. Moreover, all the waiters are young men, who are smart and sweet-talking. Customers who come here to listen to storytelling are very happy to be served, so naturally they give more tips. The tips each person gets every month are more than the monthly salary. They eat and live in Yang's house, so they don't spend much, so they can bring a lot of money back home.
After hearing that these guys were all from the same village, Mrs. Qi felt a little impressed. She thought that even though she had become rich, she did not forget to lead the villagers to become rich as well.
"You have done a great job, and your grandson is also a good person. You can think of bringing the children from the village out to make a living. This is something I cannot do even if I become rich."
After hearing Mrs. Qi's praise, Old Lady Yang couldn't help but smile proudly again. "That's right. When my eldest and youngest grandsons were going to study in the capital with Mr. Zheng, my youngest grandson wanted to choose a few of these young men to be his bookboys, but there were too many people. He didn't know whether to choose this one or that one, so he just didn't choose any of them. The bookboys were bought later when we arrived in the capital, and it cost a lot of money.
Then my little Caoer saw that her third brother wanted to open a teahouse in the capital, so he asked all these young men to follow him and work as waiters in the teahouse.
Also, my granddaughter had a storytelling competition with them at home. Was that our first storytelling competition? "
"Oh, there is such a thing?" asked Mrs. Qi.
"What kind of storytelling were they performing in the competition? Was it good?" asked Master Qi (the retired emperor).
"It was very nice to listen to. They were all telling the same story, but more than ten people told it in different ways. Their family members also came to listen, and in the end we voted for who told the best story." Old Mrs. Yang has a very good memory. She remembered everything clearly and without error.
"What story were they telling then?" asked Mrs. Qi.
"Journey to the West. The part about a monkey jumping out of a stone is so beautiful." Old Mrs. Yang was right again and she still remembered it clearly.
"I don't think I've heard of this episode yet." Mrs. Qi said with a little regret.
"Madam, if you want to listen, I will ask someone to go to the teahouse and ask a few brothers to prepare, and then arrange a time to tell you a few versions. Do you think it's feasible?" Xiao Cao'er asked.
Before Mrs. Qi could say anything, Mr. Qi asked, "What does several versions mean?"
"Versions are the same story, told in several different ways," Xiao Caoer explained.
"This is good, this is good. I also want to listen to a few versions." Mrs. Qi and Mr. Qi nodded in unison.
Then, without Xiaocao saying anything, Qi Xingyun sent someone to the teahouse to inform Sanmao.
Today, only Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er were at home. The others had their own errands, so they were not notified.
When Sanmao received the message from Qi Xingyun, she was stunned for a while. After she reacted, she asked the messenger: "Are you saying that the emperor and the queen mother are at my house now, and they want to listen to Journey to the West, or the first episode of a different version?"
"Yes, that's what the master said. He asked the third young master to arrange for people to prepare and start after lunch." said the messenger.
"Did you say when to listen?"
"I didn't say that. I just asked you to prepare and we'll arrange a time to talk about it later."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away." Sanmao replied.
