Chapter 528: Never Lonely with Lihua Around
After Niu Da became the manager, he changed his name. It didn’t sound quite right to be called Manager Niu. According to him, the name was chosen by Master Cao back then, opting for the character ‘Liu’ as it sounded similar. He became known as Liu Jingshan.
The meaning was deeper, of course, but it also expressed the hope that after becoming manager, Niu Da would honor the name—a wish for his future.
Chen Changsheng asked, “Is Master Cao still telling stories at the Teahouse now?”
Manager Liu shook his head. “He left years ago.”
“About three years ago, Master Cao handed over the role of Teahouse storyteller to his apprentice. He himself went up to Shangjing with Third Master Jin.”
“Third Master Jin has returned?” Chen Changsheng paused.
Manager Liu nodded. “Third Master Jin came back four years ago. Changed quite a bit. Both Master Cao and I almost didn’t recognize him.”
Chen Changsheng paused. His gaze shifted to the package of dried fish he had brought along.
What should make of this?
