Chapter 76 How much? So much money?
When Xiao Fan and Zhao Paner return to Yiyuan Pavilion again, this literary conference held by Tianranju has reached its final stage.
"Everyone, there is still something to worry about in this literary meeting today. That is, please select three of the lower couplets you think are the best. We will give these three literati cards from our store."
At this time, Zhao Paner was generous and generous, and he was not as embarrassed and shy as before.
Everyone took the registration book handed over by Zhao Paner and began to evaluate the above.
"Oh, how about I wrote this 'You are so happy, and you will have great people'?" A scholar said excitedly when he saw his second couplet.
"Not really, let alone the artistic conception. Your upper and lower couplets are the same, and the pairings are not good. Why are you embarrassed to take action?" The bad friend next to him laughed and mocked.
"You have the nerve to say to me, then what did you write?" Seeing that the bad friend mocked him, he was very dissatisfied.
"My is 'Wu Guanle in the army, optimistic Wu Zhongjun', how about you?"
"I don't think so. Your word "Guan" is not appropriate, so the lower couplet is still closed in three squares."
After some discussion, although strictly speaking, all the lower lines here have more or less problems, the people present finally chose three relatively good lower lines.
Only Xiao Fan knows that in strict terms, this first couplet is absolute, and no one can give a perfect second couplet for hundreds of years.
After the top three were selected, someone suddenly started to cheer and said, "No, there is still one who did not give the second couplet."
Many classmates thought about it and looked at Xiao Fan together: "Brother Zhongping, you don't seem to have given the second couplet?"
"That's right, I heard that you wrote this first couplet. You are just making things difficult for us. If you don't give a second couplet, isn't that appropriate?"
When Xiao Fan saw that this was anger. After all, this first couplet was released, so many people were unable to get the perfect second couplet, so he wanted to see what kind of second couplet the person who came out the first couplet could give.
"Everyone, I can't actually agree with the perfect second couplet, ashamed, ashamed."
"Then you have to make a good look at it!"
"Okay, then I'll be ugly. I heard that there is Yunyin Temple on the other side of Jiangnan West Road. My couplet is 'Men Traveling in Yunyin Temple, Temple Hiding in Yunyin Monk'. What do you think?" Xiao Fan asked.
"Well... the second couplet is closed in three flats, and the pairing is a bit inappropriate, but the artistic conception is excellent." Master Zou commented.
"What the teacher said," Xiao Fan bowed.
"Since you have selected Sanlian, the store will now give this scribe card to these three."
Two of the three winners were not known to Xiao Fan before, but what surprised Xiao Fan the most was that Ouyang Xu actually wrote a good second couplet, which was recognized by everyone and became one of the three.
On the contrary, although Master Zou and other academy masters were all well-read and knowledgeable, they usually studied articles, were not good at poetry, and did not study much about couplets, so the lower couplets given were not very good.
Zhao Paner called a friend who was holding Jinpan and handed the carefully carved sandalwood scribe card to the three of them.
"This is our Tianranju's literati card. This card not only enjoys the treatment of a gold card, but can only be obtained by literati and scholars selected by the monthly literati in the future, and only one literati will be selected at a time in the future."
Zhao Paner knew that since Tianranju wanted to use elegance as its selling point, holding a grand literary event every month was a good choice. Although literary event was not profitable and the cost was not low, it was very necessary to do it.
The three people who received the card were also very happy. Although they didn’t care much about the benefits of discounts, wine, drinks, and dishes, this thing is also a symbol of identity, and they will only send one card every month in the future. Doesn’t this make the card they have more precious?
"Everyone, I have something to tell you," Zhao Paner glanced around and said, "In five days, Tianranju will hold a grand flower moon banquet in Yiyuan Pavilion. At that time, in addition to the best wine and food, everyone's performances in the Leying Camp will also bring you the ultimate visual enjoyment."
"We will invite twelve most respected literati and scholars from Qiantang to attend this first flower moon banquet."
"Little do you know, which twelve scholars and officials have such honors?"
"Yes, who has such a good treat!"
"There will be twelve flower moon papers to be sent tomorrow. Who will the flowers fall? I will know after tomorrow." Xiao Fan stood up and bowed.
With the end of the literary conference, many people who have tasted natural ijiu and food chose to apply for VIP cards before leaving, and many of them were gold cards.
After all, these literati and poets are not short of money. Like Mr. Wang, although he seems to be just a pedantic literati, his calligraphy can be sold for dozens of cents. Even if it is not considered the rate of the academy, his income is not comparable to that of ordinary people in the market.
For these literati who often call friends, Tianranju Yuan Pavilion is both elegant, delicious, and has good performances. Such a good place, you will definitely come here often in the future, so it is natural to get a VIP card.
After a busy day, after seeing off the last batch of guests, Zhao Paner greeted Xiao Fan, Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang together.
"Are you guessing how much money we charged today?" Zhao Paner said mysteriously at the people with a smile.
"How many?" Sun Sanniang had been busy in the kitchen for a day today. She was so tired that she was already lying on the table, but when she heard Zhao Paner's words, she immediately became energetic.
"The whole of 1,680 stakes!" Zhao Paner said happily.
"How many?" Sun Sanniang was stunned. This was far beyond her common sense.
"Why, why are there so many?" Song Yinzhang was also confused. Although she was not short of money, she had never seen so much money.
"Tell me, how much is the VIP card money?" Xiao Fan exposes it directly.
When Zhao Paner heard this, he curled his lips and gave Xiao Fan a blank look. He finally showed off his sisters, but he was ruthlessly exposed.
"The total money for VIP cards is about 1,500 pounds. Apart from the wages of the guys and the bonuses for the Leying sisters, we can only say that we didn't lose money today." Zhao Paner suddenly became much weaker.
"Ah?" Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang also deflated and lay on the table.
"Pan'er is teasing you!" Xiao Fan looked at them like this and smiled: "You forgot that we will open 30% off today? And that literary meeting was confiscated, but the cost was quite large. The business will definitely not be as good as today, but it will definitely be fine to make 20 to 30 coins a day."
"Twenty or thirty cents?" Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang were shocked again. If this were the case, they wouldn't have earned thousands or tens of thousands of cents this year?
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Who can tell the truth about this business? You may make money today and lose tomorrow. I don't know. Sanniang, can you still not know?" Zhao Pan'er saw it very clearly.
After Zhao Paner said this, Sun Sanniang calmed down completely. After all, when she opened a tea shop with Paner, she sometimes lost money and sometimes made money.
But after all, there were still more than 1,600 guan of investments today, and the few people were still shocked. If Jia Quan had not been asked to call Jia San to drive two carriages, the money would not have been brought back.
