When everyone arrived at the supermarket door, it was already crowded with people.

The confetti from the firecrackers on the ground were like a specially laid red carpet, adding a lot of festive atmosphere to the scene.

Just as the sound of firecrackers ended, the dragon and lion dance team on the high platform in front of the supermarket began to perform vigorously.

Since the flood in Henan Province, the Ministry of Revenue has been running out of money.

If the Little Rhino Supermarket fails to become a hit, disaster relief efforts in Henan Province will likely come to a standstill.

It is precisely because of this that Mr. and Mrs. Li Er attach great importance to this opening event.

Not only did he pester Zhou Yu to make a complete plan for the opening event, he also personally participated in the entire opening event.

Zhou Yu did not refuse this.

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Although the people of Henan Road are not in the same time and space as him.

But as fellow Han people, we should naturally help if we can.

The first item of the opening ceremony was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was of epoch-making significance for Datang.

To ordinary people, cutting the ribbon may just be a way to get good luck.

But if the people cutting the ribbon were Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and other famous officials of the Zhenguan period, the meaning would be completely different.

There is no need to say much else. Just by these people standing on the stage, everyone naturally has their own interpretation.

What ordinary people see may be the strength of Little Rhino Supermarket.

What low-level officials may see is that their superiors are following suit and they may take the initiative to do so.

As for those who have the same status as these people, they may have to wonder why His Majesty the Emperor did not invite them to the stage to cut the ribbon.

I am not afraid of these people thinking too much, I am just afraid of them not thinking at all.

As long as someone thinks this way, Little Rhino Supermarket will have a source of customers.

Here, Changsun Wuji and others had just followed Li Er out of the supermarket when they were led to the platform one by one by Qinglan and other maids who were acting as etiquette ladies.

I originally thought that Wei Zheng, that big troll, might refuse to go on stage to cut the ribbon.

Unexpectedly, before Qinglan and others reached him, he couldn't wait to tidy up his appearance and followed Cheng Yaojin.

As he walked toward the stage, he explained to the puzzled Yuchi Gong standing beside him, "Your Majesty, this opening ceremony is so unique. I have to personally participate before I know how to criticize it, right?"

As several people walked up to the stage one by one under the guidance of Qinglan and others, the host, played by Yan Liben, also skillfully introduced their identities.

When the people outside heard that these people were either dukes or important officials, they all looked surprised.

Several people stood on the platform one by one, and a long red silk was soon handed to them by the etiquette lady.

Seeing this, the people who were already talking about it became even more surprised.

"Isn't that the opening event?"

"Yeah, why did you pull up the red silk?"

"Are you planning to throw a ball to find a husband?"

"Come on, forget it! The people above are either dukes or important officials. If word gets out that he wants to take a concubine, wouldn't they rush to send the girl to their mansion?"

"That makes sense. But if it's not about finding a wife, then why are these officials pulling at the red silk?"

"That's right, they are far inferior to the young ladies in Pingkangfang..."

…

Although the stage was already surrounded by warriors in golden armor.

However, the discussions of the surrounding people were still heard by Changsun Wuji and others without missing a word.

It was nothing for shameless generals like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong. They just stared with their eyes wide open, trying hard to remember who was the gossiper, and prepare to teach that guy a lesson later.

However, such remarks caused great suffering to the civil officials who valued their reputation.

Among them, Wei Zheng, who took the initiative to come forward, regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

At this moment, he has already begun to plan how to restore his face by criticizing Li Er after stepping down.

Just as the ribbon was being cut on the stage, in the pergola next to them, Zhou Yu was holding his little baby and watching the scene on the stage with Li Er and his wife.

The discussions of the people outside naturally reached their ears.

This made Empress Changsun, who was reciting the opening speech with full confidence, feel anxious and nervous.

Seeing Li Er also looking at him with a puzzled look, Zhou Yu smiled confidently and immediately pointed at the stage and said, "Didn't I say it before? The purpose of the ribbon-cutting ceremony is to let them show their faces. As for what others think and say, it won't affect the supermarket's business, so let them do what they want."

After saying this, he turned to Empress Zhangsun and said, "Don't be nervous, you are the mother of a country.

The theme of this opening speech was only one, and that was the disaster relief work in Henan Province.

As long as you can connect these two things, your speech will be a success.

As for the article I wrote for you, to put it bluntly, it is to provide an idea and reference.

With the righteous cause of disaster relief for our country and family, even without a draft, no matter what we say, it won't be wrong."

As they were talking, Qinglan and several other maids had already brought a pair of scissors wrapped in red cloth on a tray.

When Changsun Wuji and others saw this, they felt as if they had seen a savior. Without waiting for the host Yan Liben to speak, they impatiently picked up the scissors and cut the red silk in front of them with a few clicks.

The host Yan Liben is quite quick-witted.

Seeing Changsun Wuji and others anxious to step down from the stage, he immediately took the lead in cheering.

Among the crowd of onlookers were many officials and their relatives.

When these people saw Yan Liben cheering, they naturally followed suit.

For a moment, the atmosphere was completely set off.

After Changsun Wuji and others stepped down, they were guided to the rest area.

In Zhou Yu's words, the value of these people has not been fully exploited, and they cannot be allowed to slip away after cutting the ribbon.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony is over, and the opening speech will follow.

When the spectators learned that the next person to take the stage to give a speech was Empress Changsun, the atmosphere instantly became heated.

She is the Queen of the Tang Dynasty. Why would she condescend to give a speech to a shop?

The onlookers' confusion did not last long.

As Empress Changsun began her speech, the mysteries were revealed one by one.

The first thing is the ownership of this supermarket.

Everyone originally thought it was the royal property, but they didn't expect it to be the private property of Princess Jinyang.

If that were all, people wouldn't be too surprised.

What really surprised them was that the little princess actually wanted to use the profits from the supermarket to provide relief to the people affected by the disaster in Henan Province.

The common people are called troublemakers by officials, but they are also the ones who know how to be grateful the most.

Thus, under Yan Liben's deliberate guidance, the little Princess of Jinyang, Li Mingda, quickly became the focus.

Faced with the thunderous praise from the people around him, the little boy was not nervous at all, but looked excited instead.

The little guy first waved politely to the onlookers, and then together with Zhou Yu, pulled down the red cloth covering the supermarket sign.
