Chapter 276

Su Miao understood the meaning of this. Being an actor does not require very high cultural literacy. Most of the time, as long as the image is good and there is a little acting skill, as long as the boss is willing to support it, it will come to fruition.

As for family background, education, background story and so on, they are all icing on the cake. They can certainly add a lot of charm and topicality to an actor, but even artists who do not originally have these advantages can also create an image that suits the audience through careful post-packaging and publicity planning.

At present, the film and television circles in the mainland are still relatively simple and pure. The actors are all employees of art troupes, theaters, and film studios. However, the Hong Kong circle is different. It is much deeper and more complicated. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse for Zhenzhen to get on this boat.

Since the merger with the neighboring yard, the output of papaya shreds has doubled, and Su Miao hired another worker to join the production.

This time we hired a younger aunt, 40 years old, strong and healthy, who lives in the suburbs. When the family was still growing sugarcane, she was the main labor force in the family.

As the city developed, the highway leading to the outside world was to be expanded. Her family's sugarcane field happened to be along the planned route and was expropriated the previous year. So she and her husband went to the city to work, and found that they could earn money much faster than farming before.

She works full-time in the workshop and takes a 40-minute bus ride from the suburbs in the morning. If she doesn't go home at noon, she can have lunch at Su Ji. She finishes work at 5 pm and then takes the bus back.

In addition to doing similar work as the other two aunts, she also had one more task, which was to help Su Hui grind the ingredients so that Su Miao could free herself from the workshop.

Moreover, this aunt turned the blender much faster than her and Su Hui, without any pressure, just like turning a hot wheel. After seeing this, Su Miao went to buy another one, fearing that this one would break down one day and not be able to replace it, wasting working hours.

After processing all the raw materials, Su Hui directly uses a large vat to mix them, soaks them overnight, and then cans them together.

Su Miao came to help out since she had nothing to do. She was still wondering, several rare cards have been released, why is there still no movement?

Not only did no one collect the 999 cash grand prize, but no one even came to claim the radio. It seems that those who won the rare card were quite patient and were aiming for the grand prize.

No one claims the grand prize, but people come every day to claim the small prizes. If you collect five identical cards, you can exchange them for a bottle.

Some smart shop owners would simply use a dime to buy back duplicate cards from customers, and then exchange the cards for papaya shreds, which is half the price of buying directly.

Su Miao knew about their operations, but as long as she could keep her profits within expectations, these spontaneous actions would add vitality to her activity.

When the time came, Su Miao put another "Monkey King" card on the market. Just two days later, he received a phone call.

The Ye family had installed a telephone line before. After the Su family took over, they changed the account name and continued to use it. This number also became Su Ji’s business hotline.

Su Miao picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Su Ji Food Store."

A deliberately low male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello! I have collected two sets of cards. Can I really claim the cash prize?"

Su Miao was stunned. Two days ago, she had thought that no one would come to claim the grand prize, but today she received the news. She replied, "As long as the card is authentic and valid, of course you can claim the prize. However, our prize redemption instructions state that you must make an appointment one day in advance to redeem the cash prize. This way, we can prepare. If you make an appointment today, you can come to claim the prize tomorrow."

"Okay! Okay! Then make an appointment for me! I'll go claim the prize tomorrow!"

The man on the other side was very excited, but still didn't dare to speak loudly. Su Miao heard voices and car sounds over there. The environment was quite noisy. It should be a call made from a roadside store.

"Okay, you can come over and claim your prize tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Su Miao immediately went to find his father.

"Dad! Someone is finally coming to claim the grand prize tomorrow!"

Su Yuanzheng was startled and asked, "Has anyone gathered?"

Su Miao nodded: "Yes, I just called to make an appointment. We have to prepare. This is another good opportunity for publicity."

Several months have passed since the launch of the event, and no grand prize has been awarded yet.

If time goes on any longer, customers who are keen on collecting cards will inevitably become discouraged.

Although people who love to eat will still buy it, it always feels a bit uncomfortable. At this time, we really need a big prize to stimulate everyone.

Su Yuanzheng went to the bank to withdraw the brand new cash and put it into a large homemade red envelope. The outer shell of the red envelope was written with "Su Ji Food Shop" Ultimate Cash Prize.

The small gong hidden under the cash register was already a bit dusty, so I took it out and polished it to a shine. Su Yu also made a small drum, and he and Su Yuanzheng played it together that night. Hey! It really looks pretty good!

As soon as the store opened the next day, everyone stretched their necks while working to see if anyone had come to claim their prize. However, no one came until the lunch break ended and everyone was taking a break.

For those working in the restaurant industry, meal times have to be reversed from those of the customers. They definitely won’t be able to eat during the busiest times. They have to wait until all the customers are full before it’s their turn. After dinner, they have to half-close the shop door, take a two-hour break, and then start preparing ingredients for the dinner market again.

Su Yu slurped his porridge and said, "Miao Miao, why hasn't the prize redemption come yet? Are you kidding us?"

Su Miao was also unsure and said, "Probably... no way, I heard his voice was quite excited yesterday."

Su Yuanzheng was relatively calm and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Maybe he'll come in the afternoon. After all, we haven't made an appointment with him."

"Then I'll make an appointment with the prize claimant next time to arrive at the store. I think I'm more excited than he is, and I feel a little anxious waiting for someone."

Su Miao curled her lips and said that after all, it was her first time to redeem the grand prize for someone else, so she was also very excited!

The evening market business was as brisk as ever, and everyone was so busy that they had almost forgotten about this matter, until Su Miao looked up and saw that it was getting dark outside.

"It seems that the person who redeemed the prize won't come today..."

At seven o'clock in the evening, all the braised food and pork offal in the store had been sold out. Su Yu and his colleagues had already started washing dishes and kitchen utensils in the front yard. They would close the store after seeing off the last wave of customers.

Su Miao walked out of the store and wanted to take back the prize redemption list that was placed at the door every day.

"Hello! I'm here to claim my prize. I made an appointment yesterday!"

A male voice sounded behind her, startling her who was caught off guard.

Turning around, I saw a man about the same age as Brother Yu, carrying a suitcase and wearing a thin coat in the middle of summer. He looked a little anxious and seemed exhausted.

Seeing that she didn't respond immediately, he said anxiously, "Little girl, you guys haven't closed yet, right? Can I still redeem the prize?"
