Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Who is coming?
Fortunately, he was afraid that no one would be interested in this, so he prepared a lot of food and placed it among the crowd, just waiting for the restaurant to open to attract diners to come in and consume.
Now it seems that it is not necessary at all.
The melodious sound of the piano made the snack shop next door seem even more desolate.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower looked over with great pride, only to find that there was actually someone at the door of the snack shop who wanted to go in.
That person was a female cultivator with an outstanding figure and extraordinary bearing. How could she be so blind as to leave their Wangyue Tower and go to that shabby restaurant instead?
However, the female cultivator's figure seemed a little too graceful...
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower suddenly had a bad feeling. He sternly instructed the waiter, "Go, ask Zuoqiu Yu to play louder."
When the waiter told Zuo Qiuyu the order, she loosened her fingers and the sound of the piano stopped immediately.
Even the powerful ones in the demon world cannot order her around. What is a shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower? If it weren't for the purpose of competing with Sang Ling, she would not even take such a vulgar person seriously.
Amplify the piano? How dare a low-class person who runs a restaurant order her around?
When the piano stopped playing, the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower frowned immediately, "What is she doing? Why doesn't she play louder?"
Zuo Qiuyu stood up. Even though there were many diners in the audience, she was still looking depressed and was about to go off the stage. However, when she stood up, she caught a glimpse of a figure outside the snack shop nearby.
She frowned, Sang?
How come she is here?
She saw Sang looking outside the snack bar and then walked in.
Zuo Qiuyu's expression froze. She knew of course that Sang would not cooperate with the snack shop. It was just that the snack shop was using Sang's name to promote itself. The cooperation was just news she deliberately spread.
But now it seems that Sang is determined to compete with her.
Well, let's compare and see whether Sang's snack shop attracts more diners or her Moon Viewing Building...
If she had the ability, Sang could dance and sing in front of that shabby snack shop. Maybe she could attract a few people over with her piano music.
Zuo Qiuyu sat down again, even with a hint of a smile on her face. She lightly hooked her fingers, and the sound of the piano was sonorous and vibrating into her heart. The sound could be heard across several miles, and all the diners below the stage were fascinated by it.
"This piano skill is amazing!"
"It is rare to hear Zuo Qiuyu's music. We are so lucky today."
"It's because Wangyue Tower is so prestigious that they actually invited Zuo Qiuyu here."
…
Zuo Qiuyu glanced at the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower, who was very happy to hear these discussions, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, and then did not even glance at Sang Ling.
All the diners present were monks, and most of them were monks of high cultivation. These monks were most concerned about their status and would never eat in a snack bar, as this would damage their status.
Originally, they were just attracted by the gimmick of the snack bar, but now that Wangyue Tower has her cooperation, I think these diners know where to choose.
The sound of the piano was so loud that the diners were intoxicated and immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the direction of the snack shop next door:
"mulberry?!"
The exclamation was not loud, but it went straight into my mind. Half of the diners listening to the piano were fans of Sang. When they heard the name, their feet moved faster than their eyes. Before they even saw Sang, they had already walked towards the snack bar.
Only when you turn your eyes around can you see it clearly.
Sang, who was standing outside the snack shop in a plain white skirt and without any makeup, looked a little different from the fairy-like appearance she had at the banquet. She looked even more fair and elegant. Standing there, she was like snow gathered in the moon. Just one glance attracted all eyes.
It’s really Sang!
At this moment, the sound of the piano, Zuoqiu Yu and the Moon-Watching Tower, all turned into the only figure in his eyes.
In an instant, half of the diners disappeared, and Zuo Qiuyu's piano music paused.
Half of the diners were led away by just saying the name Sang, while the rest of the diners remained gathered under Zuoqiu Yu's stage and did not leave.
But even if he didn't leave, his mind could no longer be focused solely on Zuo Qiuyu.
These diners were indeed attracted by Zuoqiu Yu. They had never seen Sang's performance or himself. The outside comments criticizing Sang and the snack bar were closely related to them.
Half of their attention was on the sound of the piano, and the other half was looking towards Sang. In fact, they had no idea what Sang was like, but that did not stop them from harboring malicious intent.
When half of the diners left, Zuo Qiuyu could no longer keep playing the piano. There was something wrong with the sound, but no one noticed it, as their attention was drawn to the name Sang.
Zuo Qiuyu gritted her teeth. It was normal for Sang's fans to be led away by her, and it was also normal for her followers to hate Sang's attention being drawn away. Only by comforting herself in this way could Zuo Qiuyu continue her playing.
Her fingers flew around as she changed the tune. The sound of the piano was like waves, one after another beating in. Perhaps because she had resentment in her heart, the indignant emotions in her playing were fully brought out, attracting the diners in the audience again.
Her expression eased slightly.
Since the number of people is about the same, Sang's side is a snack bar, the price of spiritual food is very cheap, while her side is a large restaurant like Wangyue Tower, the spiritual food is expensive, and if 10% of the turnover is given to her, it is inevitable that she will leave Sang behind.
The owner of Wangyue Tower felt very depressed when he saw half of the diners disappearing, but there were still many diners left because of Zuoqiu Yu, so he felt better.
He glanced over at the snack bar. All the diners outside the snack bar were excited and surrounded Sang, forming a circle. The circle was so big that the owner of Wangyue Tower felt depressed.
But he soon relaxed again. With the same number of diners, the snack bar's turnover was still far behind that of their Wangyue Tower.
At this time, Zuo Qiuyu finished playing a song and paused for a while, but the diners in the audience still felt it was not enough and kept shouting "One more song". '
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower showed a smile on his face. This kind of feeling of wanting more is the best.
He waved his hand, and the waiter immediately came out with a wooden sign.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower cleared his throat and shouted, "Everyone, please be patient. Zuo Qiuyu will soon play a new piece of music. However, the music will not be played on the stage outside. It will be played inside Wangyue Tower to accompany your meal."
Zuo Qiuyu's face was not looking good. The owner of Wangyue Tower had not discussed with her beforehand such a shameful thing as providing accompaniment for the diners' meals. But when she glanced sideways at the lively scene at the snack bar, she suppressed her anger.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower pointed at the sign again and said, "We at Wangyue Tower are offering the same spiritual food meals as Zuoqiu Yu. As long as you enter the store, you can continue to hear Zuoqiu Yu's music and eat the same spiritual food as hers."
The diners immediately looked at the sign, which had some pictures of spiritual food on it, and said that for 888 spiritual stones they could get the same spiritual food as Zuo Qiuyu's.
This price is extremely expensive, but Wangyue Tower spent one million spirit stones to cooperate with Zuoqiu Yu, and only this price can make a profit.
But even though it was so expensive, the moment the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower finished speaking, more than 20 diners shouted loudly: "Give me one portion!"
The owner of Wangyue Tower happily led them inside, and then looked at the diners who were still outside.
But after waiting for a while, the diners still did not move.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower immediately broke out in sweat. Others didn't know, but he knew that among the twenty or so diners who had just entered, more than ten of them were hired by him.
In other words, there are only about ten people at most who are actually attracted to shop in the store.
He didn't give up, and rushed to the stage holding the sign, shouting almost hoarsely: "Opportunities are rare, and they will never come again. The same spiritual food as Zuo Qiuyu!"
The diners in the audience had no reaction.
The owner of Wangyue Tower's eyes were almost red. He didn't care about anything else. He pushed Zuo Qiuyu emotionally, indicating that she should attract customers herself.
Zuo Qiuyu almost wanted to walk away in anger. When had she ever been insulted like this? Ever since she entered Chunming Pavilion, she had only been praised by others. To solicit customers herself was something she would never do.
The owner of Wangyue Tower had red eyes from anger, and the snack shop next door was bustling with noise.
Zuo Qiuyu's voice trembled slightly, "I will play in the Wangyue Tower."
This is the most she can say.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower immediately replied, "The sound of the first harp of the courtesan is rarely heard. You can hear it again when you enter the shop."
But the guests in the audience still didn't react, and some even asked, "You're not playing outside anymore, are you?"
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower felt his heart skip a beat, and then he heard the audience continue talking.
"That's fine."
Eight hundred and eighty-eight spirit stones were enough for them to go to Chunming Pavilion and find a good courtier, let alone listen to the music.
"I want to go see what that Sang looks like. He's really arrogant."
"I have a Taoist friend who is a fan of hers. He is obsessed with her. I have to go and see her so that I can persuade her."
"Let's go and have a look together."
The remaining half of the diners also ended up going to the snack bar.
The shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower could no longer remain calm. He slammed the wooden sign onto the stage, and then looked at Zuo Qiuyu with red eyes.
"I spent one million spirit stones!"
Only now did he understand why other long-established restaurants had never sought cooperation with Chao Ren. It was because Sang was the only one in the entire demon world who had commercial value!
He really regretted it. If he had used the one million spirit stones to cooperate with Sang, things would never be like this now.
Zuo Qiuyu's face turned pale. Since Sang could attract diners, she naturally thought that she could too.
She forgot the most fundamental point: why Sang, whose fans are far fewer than her followers, could still be in the top 100 of the wish list.
That's because although Sang has few fans, they are all deeply in love with her. Everything about Sang has a fatal attraction to them. Even the snack bar where she only ate once attracts them.
Her hand loosened and slid across the guqin, producing a mournful sound.
How can she surpass Sang?
Over at the snack bar, after all the diners were attracted away by the piano music, the owner looked at the spiritual food still steaming on a dozen tables and sighed.
He stood outside and looked towards the Moon Watching Tower, then finally walked back and said to his wife:
"Forget it, the diners won't be coming back, let's clean up."
His wife didn't move, the spiritual food was still on the table, "Maybe he will come back."
The owner of the snack shop gently stroked the jade token left by Sang Ling, "I heard that Wangyue Tower spent a million spirit stones to cooperate with that courtesan, but we are just taking advantage of Sang. It's understandable that the diners choose Wangyue Tower."
The whole store was deserted. Sounds of piano could be heard from Wangyue Tower, but the cheerful tune sounded particularly bleak.
"Is anyone there?" A female voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
