One after another, the woven bamboo baskets were filled with flowers, and when each bamboo basket was put down, there was a loud shout.
"Gong Lu Guo wishes Xihelou a prosperous business!"
"On behalf of the Duke, I wish Xihelou a prosperous business!"
"..."
"King Zhao wishes Xihe Lou a prosperous business!"
"The King of Qin wishes Xihe Lou a prosperous business!"
Then the last oversized flower basket was placed at the door of Xihe Building: "Your Majesty wishes Xihe Building a prosperous business and a happy opening!"
Today Tang Ping invited many important officials in the court and said that if possible, he would use their names to advertise.
Except for Tang Ping himself, no other important minister in the court knew how much Li Shimin valued Tang Ping.
On a day like today, the emperor is willing to send this Laoshizi flower basket to celebrate his opening. What else can anyone else say?
Anyway, you don’t have to spend a penny yourself, it’s just a name.
In this era, there was no talk of endorsement fees, so all the ministers readily agreed.
They didn't know how great the advertising effect of this kind of thing was. Only Tang Ping listened to the shouting and smiled with a smile on his face.
If you compare this, it would be like someone opening a restaurant in the modern Sijiu City, and then the top seven bosses sent flower baskets to congratulate the opening.
This time, the front door of Xihe Building became as lively as the firecrackers just set off.
You must know that in this era, business behavior is not valued very much, so no store has ever invited so many heavyweight courtiers to congratulate it when it opens.
If nothing else, at least the other nearby merchants looked at Xi Helou with envy.
I even feel proud, why? Because everyone is a businessman, businessmen used to be looked down upon by others, but today you see, the emperor, princes and so many ministers have come to congratulate a store. Does this mean that the status of businessmen will be improved in the future? ?
And this was just the beginning of the opening event of Tang Pingxihe Building. Then two large pictures unfolded from the left and right sides of the door.
"Who are these two people?"
"You coward, you don't even know this? The person on the left is our Prime Minister! The person on the right is our Prime Minister Du!"
"I don't know who painted this? It's exactly the same as the two Prime Ministers!"
"Isn't this magic art? Even Mr. Yu Shinan, Mr. Yu and Mr. Chu Suiliang and Chu have never heard of such painting skills!"
"A thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, one cup after another! Wonderful, wonderful!"
Fang and Du have recently implemented a lot of new policies in Chang'an and surrounding areas. It can be said that almost everyone benefits from them, so their status among the people has greatly increased.
And these two pictures are of two people on one side, holding wine glasses and toasting each other from a distance, and are accompanied by two poems written by Tang Ping.
This was the spray-painted scene that Tang Ping took when they went to Tang Ping's house last time and took a picture of it when they went to Hyundai.
This is also the first step in the opening of his hotel: advertising!
People in this era may have already developed advertising prototypes such as shouting and making wine flags, but they certainly do not understand systematic advertising.
The first step Tang Ping needs to do is to make the opening of Xihe Building known in Chang'an, and even spread to the surrounding areas of Chang'an.
So make this scene as big as you want.
Although the opening ceremony was interrupted for a while after the firecrackers, Tang Ping prepared a set of combos today.
Boys and girls wearing uniforms began to pour out of Xihe Building one after another.
There are trays in his hands, and on the trays are small dishes and small dishes.
Lu Yi stood at the door, holding a loudspeaker and shouted: "Everyone, today coincides with the opening of Xihe Restaurant. I will give you a free trial of our special dishes."
"free?"
"Test it?"
I heard that any restaurant in Chang'an offered free tastings of its signature dishes when it opened?
"Is this really free?" asked a ragged old man. He was originally a beggar in the city. He saw the excitement here so he came over to take a look. Maybe he could get one or two copper coins?
He didn't expect that there was such a good thing as a free trial. Looking at the stacks of exquisite side dishes, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Xiao Luo was at the side, nodding her head without disdain, then picked up a small plate of braised pork, and took a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed it to him: "Master, try it, this is our signature braised pork, what's the matter?" You can give me your opinions."
"Okay, okay, okay!" The old beggar said nonstop, took the small plate from Xiao Luo's hand, and started devouring it.
But who would have thought that just such a move would stop everyone who wanted to try it out.
A Wangshulou waiter said disdainfully: If you let everyone eat the same food as beggars, you Xihelou can really do it.
The old beggar had just eaten a piece of meat. When he put the second piece of meat on his chopsticks and looked around, he realized that he seemed to have caused trouble for the kind-hearted little girl in front of him.
"We are both citizens of the Tang Dynasty. We drink water from the Tang Dynasty and eat rice from the Tang Dynasty. Why can't we eat the same food?"
A clear voice sounded, and everyone followed the sound and found that it was a young young master.
Then the young man walked up to the old beggar and asked, "How does it taste, old man?"
The old man trembled and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious. This is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten in my life!"
At this time, a man who looked like a guard came over and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"I was reading at home and lost track of time, but it seems I'm not done yet."
A few simple words of dialogue caused the audience on one side to explode.
"Prince?"
"Is this the prince?"
"Really the prince?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If you dare to pretend to be a prince in front of so many people, do you think you have too many brains?"
The person who came was none other than Li Chengqian. The old man next to him was so excited that he could hardly hold the bowl. He was trembling all over and wanted to kneel down.
Li Chengqian grabbed him and asked him seriously: "Is it really so delicious?"
The old man's excited head was like a chicken pecking at rice.
Li Chengqian smiled at Xiao Luo and said, "Sister Xiao Luo, please give me a bowl to try. I have been studying at home for too long and I am really hungry now."
"Yes!" Li Chengqian would occasionally go to Tang Ping's shop with Cheng Chumo and others to eat, so now Xiaoluo was not as afraid of him as she was at first, and she also gave him a piece of braised pork.
When the other spectators saw that the prince was eating so well, they all came forward to ask for it. From now on, when they brag about it, they say that they have eaten with the prince. Isn't this too much?
Li Shimin and Fang Du were leaning against the window and happened to see this scene. Fang Xuanling cupped her hands and whispered, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has already shown the demeanor of a benevolent king!"
"Humph, he can't even keep it on time, he's so early!"
Although he said this, Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian who was eating with the people below, and then at Li Tai who was lying on a table opposite and writing and drawing, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.
