097 Hongfu Tower during Chinese Valentine’s Day
Su Qingluan looked at the top floor and couldn't help but gasped——
She has little knowledge, but if she sees it correctly, the one hanging on the highest floor should be a jade pendant, right? !
Judging from the fact that the third prize was worth twenty or thirty taels of expensive study sets, Su Qingluan said that she really couldn't imagine the price of this piece of jade.
... Speaking of treating such a valuable item as a prize, would Shopkeeper Liang really not lose money? Su Qingluan stared at the sets of pearl headsets and the top jade pendant, and cursed.
Not only Su Qingluan, but also Su Guangfu and Yang were talking in amazement behind them. It was just a lucky draw during the festival. Could the prize be so generous?
It’s not like there are no conspiracy theories, saying that those expensive prizes will definitely not be drawn.
As soon as these words were spoken, someone retorted: "You guys are so mean. After today's opening, we have already won three third prizes and one second prize!"
"Yes, I just saw the roll call of the second prize winner!"
"Yeah, didn't you just sing a third prize?"
If you look closely, you will find that indeed, there are several empty spaces on the side of the four-story shelf. If you don't pay attention, no one will notice it.
These sentences corroborate each other. Although there is no information about the first prize, one thing is clear - those prizes are not just gimmicks, but are actually possible to win!
These few words were like cold water dripping into boiling oil, making the guests at Hongfu Tower more eager and seemed to be more enthusiastic about ordering.
The waiter on the first floor naturally recognized Su Qingluan, so as soon as he saw her, he ran over very attentively and asked: "Ms. Su is also here to dine with her family? Have you made a reservation for the private room on the second floor?"
Naturally, there is no reservation.
After all, coming over for dinner today was an impromptu decision, and the family felt that even if there was no private room, dining in the hall on the first floor would be a lively scene.
But when shopkeeper Liang heard that Su Qingluan was coming with his family, he hurriedly came down from the second floor.
Although Liang Youdao and Su Qingluan have cooperated many times and can be regarded as "friends who have known each other for many years", to Su Guangfu and his wife, Boss Liang is still the "big boss of the first restaurant in town" who is far away. At the beginning, it was very Restricted.
However, Boss Liang had been dealing with three religions and nine schools all year round. He picked up topics that Su Guangfu and Yang were interested in and chatted for a few words without leaving any trace. This feeling of restraint was greatly reduced.
"Since they are the parents of niece Xian, they are also the brothers and sisters of me, Mr. Liang," Shopkeeper Liang guided Su Guangfu, his wife and their three children to the second floor with an attentive but not offensive smile, and pushed open the room. The elegant wing room, "This is where Liang usually takes a nap. If you don't mind, please come in."
Although it was called a "nap", Su Qingluan knew that for a businessman like Shopkeeper Liang, the temporary resting place during the day could not be used for dozing off. At most, it was just for drinking tea and talking.
Sure enough, pushing open the wing room, it was almost exactly the same layout as the one where Su Qingluan signed the contract before.
Su Qingluan was technically a "technical shareholder" of Hongfu Tower, and from Shopkeeper Liang's point of view, he was the savior who had solved a big problem for him before. He was naturally different from ordinary guests.
Therefore, although there is a waiter waiting for orders, shopkeeper Liang has been accompanying him attentively on the other side.
Su Qingluan said with a smile: "Uncle Liang, we don't have to be so polite with each other. How about we sit down and eat together? Otherwise, you stand while my brothers, sisters and I sit, and it won't look good no matter what."
Since Su Qingluan calls him "Uncle Liang", the seniority is there. Although Su Qingluan will never be polite to people who rely on their elders to support their elders, he still needs to have the respect he deserves for a kind elder like Liang Youdao.
Su Guangfu and Mr. Yang also invited again and again, but shopkeeper Liang smiled and waved his hand: "I'll chat with you for a while, and I have to go greet the guests. Thanks to my good niece, there is a steady stream of guests today. Absolutely!"
As he spoke, shopkeeper Liang nodded slightly to Su Qingluan, and pointed the direction downstairs outside the window with his peripheral vision.
The situation in the lobby on the first floor could be seen from the window of this box. Su Qingluan immediately understood that shopkeeper Liang was talking about the "lottery".
In fact, Su Qingluan first came up with the idea of "spending a certain amount and getting a chance to win big prizes", mainly thinking that since the taste of Hongfu Restaurant cannot be improved quickly in a short period of time, it can at least have gimmicks to attract new customers, and then slowly expand the restaurant. Guests stay.
However, according to her original idea, the prize was far less valuable than what Shopkeeper Liang is now offering - according to her idea, the first prize was only worth thirty-fifty taels of silver. She never thought that the third-class prize prepared by Shopkeeper Liang The prize has almost reached the cost limit she envisioned.
In addition, in order to prevent the higher-level prizes from being drawn too quickly and the guests having little sense of expectation, Su Qingluan had previously told shopkeeper Liang to pick out the first, second and third prizes in advance and divide them into five share.
Put one second-prize chocolate fruit and four third-prize chocolate fruits in each portion. Only put the only egg-yolk-filled chocolate fruit in the last portion, and then mix nearly 200 of the best chocolate fruits in each portion. Inside the ordinary bean paste and Qiaoguo.
After mixing each portion, everyone puts a pot of Qiao Guo at the checkout area at the front counter. There is exactly one portion in that pot, and if the previous portion has not been divided, the latter portion will not be divided. Serve it.
By using this method, it can be ensured that one singer will occasionally win the top three prizes, so that the lottery will not be too boring, and it will not lead to several winners appearing at once, which will lower the expectations of the guests.
In such an environment where everyone is likely to win, everyone subconsciously imagines that they are the lucky one. What's more, today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and even more people want to get a good fortune.
Shopkeeper Liang said with a smile: "There really are those meddlesome people who spend dozens of taels at Hongfu Tower in order to have more chances to win the 'luck draw'. They specially choose the delicate and laborious food to eat, just to win the big prize."
"What happened next?"
"Yes, did that person win the prize?"
The two children asked a little uncontrollably, but Yang gently scolded them, "You can't interrupt."
Shopkeeper Liang didn't mind, but said with a smile: "That person is quite unlucky. He spent a lot of money, but in the end he only got a bunch of sweet fruits and paper cuts. It can only be said that he lost a little bit of luck."
"Wow...he is really unlucky..." Su Xueyan sighed.
The five members of the Su family ordered eight dishes, four cold and four hot, and ordered two more dumplings and a soup. Su Guangfu ordered another pot of "Bamboo Leaf Green" wine, and while waiting for the dishes to be served, he listened to the shopkeeper talking about various kinds of dishes. Anecdotes he encountered while doing business.
At this time, I heard noises downstairs, and they were getting louder and louder.
Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows: What happened?
