Stone ran through all the private rooms and the lobby upstairs and downstairs, and found no instances of waiters being lazy or having poor service attitudes, nor any instances of neglecting customers or failing to provide adequate service. The only exception was a young waiter who sprained his ankle while going downstairs and is still limping.

Stone immediately made a decision, instructing his assistant to go to the clinic to see a doctor right away, and to rest for two days before deciding whether to continue resting depending on the severity of the injury.

The man turned pale upon hearing this! He had been secretly keeping it a secret from everyone just to keep his job; if his employer didn't want him, he would never find another job like this again!

Shi Tou asked the accountant for three hundred coins and forced them into the worker's hand, saying seriously, "You'd better heal your injury before you come back to work. Sister Jiang said this counts as a work injury and your wages won't be deducted! If you don't listen to me, and your injury gets worse, you'll have to spend even more money!"

Helpless, the shopkeeper could only go to the clinic with tears in his eyes, looking back every few steps.

It was lunchtime, and there was one less waiter, so Shi Tou immediately stepped in.

Some guests recognized Stone as the child who had just performed outside and greeted him happily.

Stone warmly greeted the guests and quickly became one of them.

When Xiaoqi ran over to find Shitou, Shitou was making the guests laugh out loud.

"Second Brother, come here, I have something to tell you!" Little Seven whispered to Stone, her round little face full of joyful smiles.

"What's wrong?" Shi Tou wiped the sweat from Xiao Qi's forehead and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Qi looked around, then leaned close to Shi Tou's ear and whispered, "Aunt Huo, who works in the kitchen, I saw her using her hands to search for snails in the seafood broth! She didn't even wash her hands!"

Shi Tou's expression changed slightly. He whispered a few words to Xiao Qi, and then Xiao Qi hurriedly ran back to the kitchen.

When Aunt Huo sneaked food again, Xiao Qi reprimanded her in front of everyone in the kitchen.

Aunt Huo tried to argue, but Xiao Qi grabbed her hand and said, "I saw you searching for snails in the seafood soup that the customers ordered three times without washing your hands. Your hands still had oil stains and the smell of seafood sauce. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves!"

"So what if I ate it? They all ate it too, why don't you say anything to them?" Aunt Huo was furious and embarrassed, so she simply made all the kitchen helpers take the blame for her.

Everyone panicked, and a young woman waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I didn't steal any food! I really didn't steal any food!"

An older woman rubbed her hands nervously, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Xiao Qi's gaze swept across everyone's faces, and she said crisply, "Don't accuse people so easily. I didn't see that lady eat anything from the kitchen, nor did I see any of them eat. That old lady just picked up the pastries that fell off the plate, washed them, and ate them; she didn't want to waste ingredients. Only you, taking food ordered by customers without permission is stealing, and you're also unhygienic. Your behavior has seriously damaged the shop's reputation. I've already notified Second Brother; go find him to settle today's wages, and don't come back tomorrow!"

Aunt Huo snorted and stormed off.

Xiao Qi looked around again, her childish voice ringing out in the kitchen: "Don't be like Aunt Huo! I saw that she didn't wash the seafood three times or pick out the dead seafood. The quality of the seafood is not up to standard for sale! Sister, could you please wash all the seafood again and pick out the dead seafood? The two portions of seafood stew that were just sent upstairs also need to be redone."

The young woman nodded repeatedly.

By the time of Wei Shi (1-3 PM), there were not many customers left in the shop, and the staff had all finished their lunch and were enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

The opening day performances are scheduled for the morning, but there is a lucky draw in the afternoon.

The third prize winner will receive a free order; the second prize winner will receive a VIP silver membership; the first prize winner will receive a VIP gold membership; and the grand prize winner will receive a diamond membership.

There are also thirty incentive prizes, which are a small cake or a cup of fruit tea.

VIP membership requires a recharge to enjoy preferential treatment. A one-time recharge of 1,000 taels of silver is required to obtain VVIP Diamond membership. Subsequent recharges only require 300 taels of silver each time. As long as there is a balance in the card at the time of settlement, a 40% discount can be enjoyed. Gold membership requires an initial recharge of 500 taels, and subsequent recharges only require 200 taels. Silver membership requires an initial recharge of 100 taels, with no limit on subsequent recharges.

The memberships awarded in the lucky draw do not require any top-up; all that is needed is a balance in the card, making them especially suitable for the average person.

As a result, the stage was once again packed with guests who came specifically for the lucky draw.

The lucky draw was hosted by Saburo, who stood in the middle of the stage and became a living, breathing radiant presence.

In front of all the audience, he showed everyone several bamboo slips with different membership levels written on them, then put them into a wooden box in the middle of the stage. He then shook the box back and forth to scatter the bamboo slips inside.

The wooden box has a round hole on top. The person drawing the prize simply puts their hand in and pulls out a bamboo slip. Whatever is written on it is the prize, and the person can redeem it on the spot.

Not just anyone can go on stage to draw prizes; you have to answer a few questions that Saburo asks first, and only those who answer correctly can draw prizes.

Saburo's questions were very simple, only asking about the contents of the previously distributed promotional brochures and the types and characteristics of various dishes. If someone answered incorrectly, people nearby would immediately start jeering.

The first person to go up on stage to answer was a middle-aged man. When Sanlang asked about the special features of boiled fish, the man smiled sheepishly and said, "Can my wife answer this? She's been asking about it for ages!"

Sanlang then asked, "Auntie, have you seen the brochure? Today is the first day of opening, and there's a 40% discount. Why don't you bring your auntie over to try it?"

A woman in the audience said in a muffled voice, "He insisted that it was too expensive and that he wanted to make it at home! He's made it twice, and neither time has it tasted spicy!"

The crowd below burst into laughter. The man scratched his head embarrassedly and stammered, "If... if I win the prize, whatever it is, I'll do whatever you want for dinner, okay?"

Sanlang chuckled and said, "This young man wishes you both the best of luck. Now, Uncle, please draw the prize!"

The middle-aged man rubbed his hands together, suddenly becoming nervous.

Let's all cheer for this uncle! Go! Go!

"Go! Go!"

With Sanlang's strong encouragement, the middle-aged man finally pulled out a card that read "Incentive Award".

"Honey, I won! I won!" The middle-aged man was so excited that his face turned red as he ran off the stage and hugged his wife tightly.

The couple jumped and danced until the waiter brought them a small cake.

"If you don't like cake, you can go inside and get a fruit tea instead," the waiter said with a smile.

"I love it! I love it! This stuff smells amazing! Honey, try some and see if it's good!"

"Young master, hurry up and draw a prize!" someone urged Sanlang.
