Chapter 161 Lottery
Those who were a little wealthier were conquered by the taste and texture after eating a meal. Some immediately bought another portion, while others rushed to other compartments to try other foods.
Those whose family conditions were slightly more difficult simply bought five vegetable buns and prepared to take them home to eat with their families.
But coming and going, the cold noodles and roujiamo are still the most popular places.
Especially at the end, almost everyone had a roujiamo in their hands, and even if there was no seat, they would stand in the house and finish eating it.
"lottery!"
The first person to leave appeared.
The guy straightforwardly brought out a large wooden box filled with countless papers, which took up a lot of his time and energy.
"Sir, please come in." Wen Baolu said with a smile.
People around also gathered around to watch the fun.
"Da Zhuang, hurry up, blow some air and pray to God to open a back door for us." Someone shouted.
The man named Dazhuang actually did as he was told, then closed his eyes and took out a ball of paper from the wooden box.
His breathing became rapid, and when he saw the painted eggs, although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
“Ah~”
"Da Zhuang's luck is not good."
Someone was just watching the fun, "You all know Dazhuang has always had bad luck. If he can win the lottery, then I'll kneel down and call him grandpa."
Da Zhuang was so excited by what these people said that he made a secret decision. He would wait and see. He would come again tomorrow. If he won the lottery, he would let this good grandson call him grandpa!
"Sir, please keep it."
A waiter took out an egg and handed it over.
When Dazhuang saw the palm-sized egg, he looked slightly surprised: "Is this an egg?"
It’s almost as big as a goose egg!
"That's right. This is our shop's special delicacy egg, and it tastes better than other eggs." The waiter advertised with a smile.
"Hey, it's really strange. There are so many things in this store that I haven't seen before."
"Da Zhuang, go back and try it. If it tastes good, don't forget to tell us."
When Dazhuang heard this, he laughed and scolded, "Don't worry, everyone will have a share soon."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately offended the people around them. Isn't this a curse that they can't win the prize?
"You're so brave, you dare to make fun of us!"
"Don't hit it, I still have eggs in my hand. If you break them, I'll take your prize." Da Zhuang quickly replied, and then he noticed that there was another lottery draw: "Quick, someone is drawing the prize."
This voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The second prize was drawn, and it was still an egg.
"Eh..." Everyone sighed in regret, but they were also mentally prepared. After all, there were only a few big prizes, and it was definitely not easy to win.
However, the bustling scene in Huaxiang Tower still adds a different kind of brilliance to Guancheng.
At this time, in the private room on the second floor, Luo Xiao also instructed the chef to serve food to each room.
The dishes were the same in every room, but there were so many varieties that they filled the entire table and continued to be served.
"Mom, these foods are different from the ones we usually eat." This was said by Zhao Zhi's daughter, Qiao Shuyu, who just turned ten today and is at the age when she loves to eat.
Zhao Zhi patted her daughter's hand and waited until the waiter left before she spoke: "Then try them all. If you like them, I'll have people come buy them more often in the future."
"Thank you, mother."
The same scene takes place in a different room.
The most popular among women and children is the ice jelly unique to Huaxianglou Dessert Shop.
There are not many styles, but each one has a different flavor, and fresh fruit ice leaves are added to it, which looks beautiful and delicious.
Even the men couldn't help but order some after seeing it.
"Second uncle, they have made a lot of preparations." Xu Changqin took a bite of the sour and sweet ice jelly and sighed again in his heart. The food from the capital was really tempting.
Manager Xu's face looked unhappy.
Although the food is delicious, it is not as tempting as the money in hand.
But it’s only the first day of opening, so we’ll have to wait and see.
"Write it all down and go back to see if you can make it."
He spoke directly to his own cook beside him.
Although these are snacks, it still takes a lot of effort and hard work to replicate them.
"Qingqing, your favorability is increasing so fast." The little world spirit laughed.
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled up slightly. She didn't care whether this restaurant made money or not.
As long as we can gain popularity and attract more people to dine in, that would be the best.
However, there are still few types of fruits and vegetables in the space. Next, we must step up our efforts to find fruit and vegetable seeds.
Zhu Mingqing did not have high expectations for the restaurant, but the rewards that Huaxianglou gave her were indeed immeasurable.
Especially on the third day of opening, the second prize was drawn.
The winner was a poor scholar.
At that time, he also wanted to try the taste of the Huaxianglou cuisine that was praised by everyone.
After lunch, he was in a hurry to go home to copy books to earn money, and he didn't even want to participate in the lottery.
It was the waiter who reminded me specifically, otherwise I might have missed out on these five taels of silver!
"I... won five taels of silver?" The scholar couldn't believe it.
The clerk was also very envious and nodded, "Yes, the money is here, you can take it away anytime."
There was a silver ingot weighing five taels on the table, shining brightly.
Some people envied: "Hurry up and take it. If you don't want it, give it to me."
Amid the jeers from the people around him, the scholar reacted and immediately put the money in his pocket: "Haha, my mother has money to treat her illness."
After saying that, he ran outside.
"Hey, this seems to be Liu Shusheng from Xiucai Street."
"Do you know him?" someone asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm only seventeen today. I heard he's a great student, but he has a sick mother..."
The crowd was talking about it, and soon the news spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Daniu looked at Dazhuang who was dazed at the side and tried to comfort him as if he was watching a show: "Alright, I told you that you wouldn't have this luck. Look, you wasted three days and wasted money."
Only then did someone notice Da Zhuang in the corner and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
He came to spend money for three days just for an uncertain prize. During these three days, Da Zhuang was the only one there.
Da Zhuang held the ten coins in his hand, gritted his teeth and walked aside: "Give me five buns."
"I haven't given up yet."
"He's a very honest person on weekdays. Could he be possessed by evil spirits?"
Dazhuang glanced at them and thought, what do you know? This is the money his wife gave him specifically to buy buns.
Anyway, his wife loves to eat the buns from Huaxianglou. She would buy them from other places too. Here they even give her an egg for free.
Moreover, they have a pot of egg soup every day these past two days, and the taste is absolutely amazing.
If Huaxianglou didn't sell eggs, he would definitely eat only the eggs here every day.
After wrapping the five buns, Dazhuang came to the counter again and said, "Dude, let's draw the prize!"
