The waiters in the house were so busy that they were dizzy.
The sound of "dong dong dong" of the gong instantly attracted everyone.
Li smiled broadly, "Everyone, the anniversary celebration is about to begin. Everyone is welcome to attend! Please take a seat!"
Everyone was looking for a place to sit, but many people had no seats left, so the waiter quickly brought benches for everyone.
"Dong!" Li sounded another gong, and the waiters brought out the dried fruit platters and tea that had been prepared in advance.
It was the first time for everyone to see a platter, and they found it very strange.
Everyone was whispering.
"Wow... what a generous gift! This is the best Biluochun!"
"I remember Changyinju opened in the summer. Shouldn't this anniversary celebration be in the summer?"
"You stubborn fool, why do you care about others? They are fighting with the other side, we just watch the fun! Anyway, the tea and snacks don't cost money!"
"Hmm... isn't she just losing money to gain publicity? Why bother?"
"Come on, those beautiful maids across the street can be seen but not touched, and it makes me feel itchy!"
"That's right, I've been there twice and I don't want to go anymore. So that's it, just for the novelty!"
"Besides, the price is too high! We might as well go to Hongxianglou!"
"Huh? What's that covered with red cloth? You're just trying to be mysterious!"
"Okay, stop talking, the highlight is coming!" someone reminded.
Li's powerful voice came, "Everyone, my husband is also a scholar. I am not talented, but I have raised the curtain for you all. You are welcome to try. Everyone can be the judge. Whoever wins your applause can draw the red envelope!"
Someone joked: "Is there such a good thing? Could this red envelope be fake?"
"That's right, I haven't heard of anyone sending money out!"
Li pointed to the box and asked, "Anyone willing to try it?"
Someone immediately jumped in to try, "I'll do it!"
A young student stepped out and said, "I've never had good luck since I was a kid. Today is the first time I'm going to give it a try!"
Li reminded them, "Everyone, these red envelopes are worth one cent or ten taels of silver, and there are a hundred of them in total. Let's have some fun!"
Many people's eyes lit up. This was too extravagant. This meant that there were at least a few hundred taels of red envelopes in the box.
Sui He was a little nervous. Hadn't they agreed to use it to pay for tea? Why did the Madam suddenly change her mind?
Li stepped aside and left the seat to the students.
He first bowed to Li, then looked at the box, rubbed his hands, stirred in the box, and took out a red envelope.
At this time, you could hear a pin drop in the room. Everyone was staring at him with burning eyes, and some even stood up.
"Hurry up and open it, kid..." someone began to urge.
He nervously opened the red envelope and laughed out loud. "It's one tael of silver! God, a pie in the sky fell on my head! Haha..."
A waiter whispered to him, "Sir, this isn't yours yet. You didn't write the couplet!"
As if he had just remembered it, he sorted out the red envelope and put it into the box.
"Shopkeeper, where's the first couplet? Hurry and take it out and let's take a look!"
There were two more "dong dong" sounds, and two waiters came with a scroll. After they opened it, many people stretched their necks to take a look.
"Oh, what a majestic handwriting!"
Someone unconsciously read aloud: "The moon shines on the cold river, the shadows of the fishing fire!"
Some people were very surprised, "What a lonely poem!"
Li covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Isn't she lonely? Being deceived by her lifesaver of many years, she was deeply hurt. She sighed all day long and felt like she was dying!
At this time, Master Li was sitting upstairs, listening to the waiter reporting what was happening downstairs. He couldn't help but admire his wife and Tang Youyou.
I unconsciously wrote on the paper: "Who says women are inferior to men!"
The students were all eager to try, and the waiter was very considerate and brought them pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
The fried mushrooms at the door were still going on, and Tang Youyou did not drive away the poor people in front of him.
She stuffed a handful of fried mushrooms into a child's hand and said, "Go tell the streets and alleys that Changyinlou is giving away free lunches. First come, first served!"
The children swarmed over and picked up the gifts with both hands.
Seeing this, the waiter nearby quickly grabbed a handful for each person.
As a result, more and more people gathered in front of the drinking area.
Shopkeeper Yun was originally worried about the performer, but when he saw this scene from afar, he was frightened and thought something big had happened.
"Everyone line up, everyone gets a share! Everyone gets a share!"
The busiest person was Yu, and both of her hands left afterimages!
Tang Youyou looked at the waiter: "Did you see that? The master chef is tired today. Later, let your shopkeeper Yun make a good red envelope!"
"Girl, girl...please make way, make way!" A fat man tried to squeeze in.
Someone stuck their butt out and said, "Why should I give way? Everyone is queuing up, why should I give way? Just because you're fat?"
So the two of them started arguing.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of the gong was deafening.
Tang Youyou pushed through the crowd and found that it was the man who was about to participate in the dart throwing.
"Make way, this is an old customer of our store, and he wants to participate in the event!"
Everyone became interested and asked, "What activity?"
Tang Youyou did not answer, but welcomed the man in. When she saw the pale-faced Shopkeeper Yun at the end, her eyes curved with smiles.
"Shopkeeper Yun, it's your turn!"
Shopkeeper Yun felt like he was looking for a better job while riding a donkey.
Seeing the man in front of him looking at him, he immediately put on a professional smile: "Oh... Master Jia, it's been a long time! You look even more prosperous!"
Master Jia pursed his lips and pointed at the five people behind him, "Is it done? I want to throw darts!"
Shopkeeper Yun was confused. What darts?
