Chapter 1574 The consolation prize attracted a large number of guests.

Shu Yu took a paper package out of the basket. The package was not big and its weight was limited.

Actually, it's just a small snack. Since everyone gets a consolation prize, it's impossible to give too much, otherwise she would lose a lot of money.

Even though we're putting on such a big opening event to build our reputation, it's worth it even if we lose money. Every little bit of profit counts.

Shu Yu opened the paper bag, revealing the popcorn inside.

Once it's opened, the fragrance becomes even stronger for those who are close by.

This is a consolation prize?! This is actually a consolation prize?!

The customer who won the prize took a deep breath. "This thing is called popcorn?"

Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, this is popcorn. Here, have a serving. It tastes better when it's hot; it's not as good when it's cold, but it's still alright. Just don't leave it out for too long; don't eat it if it's been left overnight."

Actually, as long as popcorn is stored properly, it's fine to eat it the next day.

However, storage conditions are limited these days, and some people may think it's a snack or a novelty, so they're reluctant to eat it all at once and keep it for a long time, which is not good.

After giving her instructions, Shu Yu handed over the paper package.

The popcorn was still hot; it had just been popped. Yesterday afternoon, Wang Kangfu, the manager of the instant noodle workshop, came over. He was originally a chef, and today he asked Wang Kangfu to bring a worker to fry popcorn in the kitchen.

To be honest, Wang Kangfu was very interested.

He had no idea that a tiny kernel of corn could be fried into something so delicious.

He has a lot of ideas now and feels that he can try other things later.

There are many consolation prizes, so the amount of popcorn is also quite generous.

Shu Yu thought for a moment, then called on the people behind her to come up and draw a prize.

The third person immediately became excited. To be honest, he initially thought of the first prize, since it was definitely expensive. But after seeing someone win the fifth prize, he thought the fifth prize was better.

Now, seeing the consolation prize, I actually find myself liking it quite a bit.

Especially after seeing the second person in the lottery get popcorn and eat it, their eyes lighting up, his mouth quickly started watering and he swallowed hard.

The number of people eligible for the first few awards is limited, and most of them are consolation prizes.

Therefore, when this person drew the prize, it was still a consolation prize.

But surprisingly, he wasn't disappointed at all. Instead, he was very excited. He took the paper package from Ying Xi and couldn't wait to open it and eat two pieces.

"Delicious! It smells so good!"

The customers who had originally been watching the commotion all went to the front to buy melon seeds.

The fifth prize didn't attract them, but a consolation prize made everyone eager to take out their money.

After all, there aren't many fifth-prize winners, and they might not even get one. But everyone gets a consolation prize; even if they're unlucky, they can at least take home some popcorn.

After trying the sunflower seeds, I found they were actually quite delicious.

Wei Ronghua, in particular, explained, “Sunflower seeds can be used to entertain guests, accompany drinks, or be given as gifts. You can also crack a couple of seeds when you’re bored. They’re small, so you can grab a handful and put them in your pocket when you’re out working. They’re a nice snack when you’re tired, and they’re also good for keeping you entertained while chatting with people. If you don’t want to crack them, there are also sunflower seed kernels here, which taste great too.”

After introducing the melon seeds, he then introduced the sunflower oil.

"That consolation prize popcorn is made with sunflower oil. Isn't it fragrant? It smells just as good when you cook with it. You can see for yourselves; it's clear and clean in color. Even nobles in the palace use it."
