Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

After lunch, everyone took a short rest, and at a quarter before the third hour, they returned to the teahouse in high spirits.

At the same time, the tea drinkers who came to the teahouse in the morning also returned one after another.

Thanks to the unintentional promotion by tea drinkers, everyone knows about the Time Teahouse which opened today, and also knows about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" told by the storyteller in the teahouse.

Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The number of people in the teahouse more than doubled compared to the morning. There were still empty seats in the morning, but they were full in the afternoon. Many people would rather stand in the teahouse, waiting for Mr. Li Shuhua to tell the mysterious "Journey to the West".

As soon as the afternoon arrived, Mr. Li Shuhua, dressed in a blue robe, came onto the stage in high spirits.

As soon as he hit the wake-up stick, the story-filled voice rang out in the teahouse:

"Before the chaos, the world was in turmoil, and no one could see it. Ever since Pangu broke through the chaos, the world has been clear and turbid..."

Everyone was once again immersed in this wonderful story, as if they were following Sun Wukong on the fantastic journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

As the story progressed, the audience was sometimes nervous and sometimes laughing, and was completely attracted by this wonderful story.

The emperor, the empress and others also listened with great interest, nodding in praise from time to time.

In this way, the whole day was spent in the fragrance of tea and stories. The opening of the teahouse was a huge success and became a topic of discussion among people in the capital.

In addition to listening to stories, tea drinkers also drank tea with unique flavor and lingering fragrance.

The green tea in the teahouse is sold at the price of three hundred taels per catty. Although the purchase is limited to one catty, it is still not enough, so it can only be reserved.

The reputation of the Time Teahouse is becoming more and more famous, and people come here every day to listen to books and drink tea.

In order to have a place to listen to storytelling every day, many dignitaries spent a lot of money to book private rooms in teahouses.

The stories told by Mr. Lin Zhongzheng and Mr. Li Shuhua became more and more exciting, and the plots of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Journey to the West" made everyone unable to stop.

So much so that people all over the city were following the two stories, and the storytelling in the Time Teahouse was the one being talked about in the streets and alleys.

After hearing the story, many scholars and men of letters came to the teahouse one after another, savoring the fragrance of tea and discussing the subtleties of the story with other tea drinkers.

They would also compose impromptu poems, adding a lot of elegant atmosphere to the teahouse.

Taking advantage of the two stories, Qinghe seized the business opportunity again.

She made puppet toys related to the story in the clothing store, as well as children's clothing with cartoon characters, folding fans printed with story scenes and other peripheral items, which were sold in both teahouses and clothing stores. Undoubtedly, these were deeply loved by tea drinkers.

The opening of the teahouse not only made green tea popular, but also boosted the business of shops around the teahouse. For a time, this street became a must-visit place in Beijing.

The emperor and empress in the palace would send people to ask about the progress of the new story from time to time. Qinghe had no choice but to hand in a copy of the manuscript she had just copied to the emperor and empress in advance.

So much so that many ministers would talk about the two stories for a while when they attended court.

As movable type printing matured, the prince found Qinghe and Baili Ye.

"Ye'er, sister-in-law, I came here today to ask for your opinions on something." The prince said straight to the point.

"Brother, you can just tell me what you want to say." Baili Ye said to the prince, and Qinghe nodded.

"Yer, sister-in-law, the teahouse business has been booming recently, but the stories in the teahouse are no less popular. I see that the printing speed of movable type printing is very fast now. I want to print these two stories into books and sell them to the public. What do you think?"

Qing He and Bai Li Ye looked at each other and said with a smile:

"Even if you didn't come today, we would have come to your house. We originally wanted to wait until movable type printing technology matured before coming to you. We have already prepared the manuscript."

After Qinghe finished speaking, she went to the inner hall to get the manuscript, took out the manuscripts of two stories from the space, and handed them to the prince.

The prince took the manuscript and said happily:

"I really don't have time to go to storytelling classes every day. With these two manuscripts, I can have a sneak peek."

After the prince finished speaking, he asked again, "Sister-in-law, how long will it take to finish telling these two stories? I will do the publicity in advance and sell them after the stories are finished."

Qing He thought that the prince had a good business sense. She smiled and said, "Brother, the two stories can be told for about two months. You can arrange it."

"Okay, don't worry! After these two stories are sold, we will split the profits 70% to 30% of the profits. How about you split the profits 70% and I split the profits 30%?"

Baili Ye smiled and said, "Brother, we are only providing the manuscript, why don't we split it 50-50 after deducting the cost?"

"How can that be?" the prince was surprised and asked disapprovingly.

Qing He said to the prince:

"Brother, let's split it fifty-fifty.

In addition, I have the recipe for making the glass tea set that I gave to my sister-in-law last time. Scarcity makes things valuable, and glass is very expensive.

Aye and I want to open a glass kiln in the capital. When the Turks come to negotiate business, we can sell the glass to them, which will increase Dasheng’s income.

I wonder if Big Brother is interested in running the business together?"

When the prince heard this, his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly:

"This is a great idea, sister-in-law! Colored glaze has always been precious. If we can open a kiln to produce it in the capital, it will definitely bring huge profits. I am naturally interested in participating in this colored glaze kiln."

Baili Ye continued:

“Brother, we may not have the time to manage it normally, and you can control the formula of Liuli, so that we can have it all.

It’s just that the location selection, recruitment of workers, and purchase of raw materials for the glass kiln all need to be carefully arranged, and my eldest brother has to worry about it.”

Qinghe nodded and said:

"That's right. We need to start preparations as soon as possible and invite some skilled craftsmen. After the experiments are completed, we can provide unified training to improve the firing process of colored glaze. This key process must be kept secret."

The prince thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, I'll arrange the printing of the storytelling manuscript first, and then I'll focus on preparing the glass kiln."

"Then let's do as the eldest brother says. We will go back to Tailai County for a while in the next few days." Baili Ye responded.

"Don't worry, I'll be in the capital."

The prince returned home and told Bai Shuyu what happened.

After listening to the prince's narration, Bai Shuyu couldn't help but smile and said:

"My sister-in-law is really smart, with ideas coming one after another. If the glass kiln is established, it will not only bring us huge wealth, but also add a lot of glory to Dasheng.

Such a huge profit was given away without blinking an eye. This kind of thinking is really admirable. "

The prince nodded and said:

"Yes, my sister-in-law is indeed a generous and selfless person with a high level of vision.

My sister-in-law meant that the formula of Liuli must be kept secret. I guess she also thought that I would ascend the throne in the future, so she gave me the formula in advance so that I could keep the secret. We must not let them down on this matter."

The Crown Princess nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, my sister-in-law has long-term plans for matters related to the lives of Dasheng people, just like the preparations for the construction of the medical school. So, how is the construction of the medical school going for your people?"
