Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 214 The truth of the story

"Stories are both true and false. No one can tell whether there really is such a place, or whether the person who wrote the story yearned for such a place and imagined it out of thin air. Only the person who wrote the story knows." Xiao Cao'er said to everyone.

Xiao Caoer handed the storybook to Qiangzi and the others, and then asked, "Have you ever been to a teahouse to listen to a storyteller tell stories?"

Each of these dozen or so people had walked around the area with Sanmao. Although they could not be said to have much knowledge, they were much better than those who stayed in the village all day or had only been to the county town.

"I have been there. There are storytellers in the city. I went to listen to them once with Sanmao and Hua Mingge." Xiaoxing said

"Yes, we've been there too. The tea and pastries there are very expensive. One pastry is almost as expensive as two outside," said Ergouzi.

"That's right. It's expensive, but delicious. I heard that some of these cakes are not sold in other shops. The reason they are expensive is that they are unique." Others also agreed that the tea and cakes in the teahouse were expensive.

We've gone off topic again. How come they are a bit like the people in our family? They can easily change the subject to something hundreds of miles away.

No, we have to get back to the topic quickly, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

"If we were to tell the story of Journey to the West in a teahouse, do you think it would be possible? Would everyone like to listen to it?" Xiao Caoer asked everyone.

"Of course it will work. We all like to listen to it, and everyone will definitely like to listen to it too." Er Gouzi was the first to express his opinion.

"Yes, yes, of course it can be done. It's such a good story, is there anything wrong with it?" Others also said that they could do it.

"Well, each of you imagine that if you were the storytellers, and if you were asked to tell the story of Journey to the West, how would you tell it?" Xiao Caoer took the opportunity to suggest that they tell the story.

"We tell the stories? Can we? Aren't storytellers all scholars? Although I went to school for two years, that was only to learn how to read. I have nothing to do with being a scholar. How can I be a storyteller?" Xiaoxing asked.

"Yeah, we only know a few words, can we become storytellers?" The other children also doubted this.

"How can you know if you haven't tried? Only after you try it yourself will you know whether you can become a storyteller. What if you succeed?" Xiao Cao'er said, you have to try everything to know, everything is possible.

"Then what should we do?" Qiangzi asked Xiaocaoer.

“First of all, you need to have a certain understanding of the story, try to understand it thoroughly, and then imagine how you can tell it to everyone, and finally how you can make everyone follow your expression and listen to you tell this story in an immersive way.” Xiao Caoer encouraged everyone to try this, which for them only scholars can do.

"Then let's try it?" Er Gouzi was eager to try, which showed how much he wanted to try it. Gouzi's imagination about things was richer than the others, maybe he would really give everyone a surprise.

"Let's all give it a try, just like Sister Xiao Cao'er said, what if it succeeds?"

"Yes, let's all give it a try. After all, we're telling our own people, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't turn out well." Others were also willing to give it a try.

"Yes, everyone, take the story home and read it several times, then talk to each other to see if there is anything that needs to be improved." Xiao Cao looked at everyone and said encouragingly, "I think when telling a story, you should first understand the content of the story and imagine the scene in it. You don't have to copy the words and sentences in the book. You can organize your own language and sentences and express them in your own way.

Whether a story can be more exciting depends on how you express it. This story is very interesting. In addition to expressing it verbally, you can also add your own body language to tell the story better, which will definitely attract more audiences. "

"What does body language mean?" Ergouzi became even more interested in the story told by Xiaocaoer.

"It conveys information and expresses emotions through body movements, postures, gestures, facial expressions, etc. Body language plays an important role in interpersonal communication. It can supplement, emphasize or replace language expression, helping us better understand the intentions and emotions of others. Just like you usually use your hands and feet to gesture when you speak and do things, this is a kind of body language." Xiao Caoer explained to everyone patiently.

Now we all know that the gestures we make when talking to others are body language.

"Okay, then we'll study this story in the next two days and try everything we can. It's up to us whether it works or not."

"Well, you can find a place for yourself, or you can go to the martial arts arena. We can try it again then.

No matter what you say, we will open our own teahouse and include storytelling. If there is anyone among you who is capable of doing the storytelling task, he will be the storyteller. If there is no one who is capable, it doesn't matter, we will just find another storyteller.

I don’t know if you guys dislike working as a waiter in a teahouse. If you don’t dislike it, you can all go work in teahouses in the capital.”

"Really? Can we go to the teahouse to work?" It was Ergou who spoke first again.

"Can we really go to the capital?" Qiangzi also asked.

"Then should we prepare things for the trip to the capital now?"

Everyone started talking about it.

Xiao Cao waited until they were excited enough before she let everyone calm down. "Opening a teahouse is not a one-day thing. There are a lot of preparations in the early stage. You need to buy a shop, decorate it, prepare tables and chairs, cooks and so on. You can't open it in a short time. This also has an advantage, which is that it allows us to do a better job in the early stage.

You just keep this matter in mind for now. When you have mastered the storytelling skill, find a time to invite your family members to come and listen. Then you will have a reason to convince them to let you go to the capital, right?

Everyone is worried about taking you to the capital, but with the teahouse incident, your elders at home are a little more at ease."

"Yes, yes, yes. It's useless to talk well. What's important is to take actual action and see the actual things."

Everyone agreed and decided to prepare for storytelling in the teahouse together.
