On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, after making arrangements for Hou Taotao and the others, Zhao Xiaoyue took Zhao Zhe to the comic convention to squeeze onto a green-skinned train.
"Hold the helm, I'll fly you back!"
Zhang Xiaomeng was eager to get started and excitedly headed to the airport.
Zhao Xiaoyue quickly stopped her, "My God, just shut up already. If you have nothing to do, go fly around in the sky a few times."
Zhang Xiaomeng has quieted down.
Hou Taotao: "When will you be back, Captain?"
She hasn't even left yet, and she's already thinking about coming back.
"Around the tenth of the month!"
It's the first time I've had to "go home" from a comic convention, and I feel a little uneasy.
Amidst the reluctant farewells of the crowd, the three of them traveled for over ten hours by car.
By the time Guanghe got off the bus, it was almost noon the next day.
Zhao's father and the others did not know that Zhao Xiaoyue and her family would be returning early, thinking that it would be almost the end of the year anyway.
The store is busy right now.
Guitu Inn hired a receptionist and a general manager. Zhao Guozhong didn't need to go every day; he only needed to go once at the beginning or end of the month.
With the continuous economic development, the flow of people in Lufeng Town has increased, and private restaurants have become very popular in the past two years.
There are also small hot pot restaurants, which are very busy in the afternoons, even though they are small in scale.
Especially now that it's the twelfth lunar month, many people from the countryside come to Lufeng Town to attend the market.
Grandma Li lowered the price to a very low level, charging only the cost price and not making a profit.
Zhao Guozhong and Li Guilan didn't understand; if labor costs were factored in, they would lose money.
Grandma Li painstakingly explained to the two of them, "Advertising effect, advertising effect, do you understand?"
Actually, she was heartbroken, but to gain fame, she needed someone to promote her, and it would be too expensive to use a professional advertising company.
Grandma Li learned this trick when she went to grab eggs at a newly opened shopping mall.
An egg costs five cents. She watched silently for a long time, and the eggs she gave away filled a tricycle.
Grandma Li felt a pang of heartache, thinking, "How much money would that cost?"
Later, as that supermarket became more and more successful, she finally realized what was going on.
The trick they used is called "you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." When you go into that supermarket, how can you not buy a few odds and ends to take home?
So this is a strategy.
Zhao Guozhong and Li Guilan were also convinced; the old lady's mind was truly sharp.
When Zhao Xiaoyue and her group arrived in Lufeng Town, they went straight to a private restaurant.
After searching around and not finding anyone, the convention staff asked the staff where the owner was.
The waiter also looked proud; all three bosses had gone to the hot pot restaurant.
Zhao Xiaoyue and her group then went to a hot pot restaurant in Chengguan.
Faced with a hot pot restaurant that was not small but packed with people, Zhao Xiaoyue fell into deep doubt.
"Xiao Zhe, is this our shop?"
Zhao Zhe looked at the long line of people waiting for an empty table and said, "It should be here. The waiter said this is the place. Is it Sister Man?"
The anime convention attendee exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Mr. Zhao, is your business doing so well?"
She hasn't been back for two or three years, how did she know?
When Zhao Zhe went to Haishi, the hot pot restaurant hadn't opened yet, so he doesn't know that now.
"Let's go in together after we go in and see for ourselves," someone said.
He was starving, and this cold weather was just the right time to eat something.
Li Guilan and the old lady were busy in the kitchen, directing a group of cooks to chop and prepare vegetables.
Zhao Guozhong and a group of waiters were busy at the front. When the greeter at the door saw a foreigner, he immediately went up to him.
I was rushing through the comic convention and almost bumped into someone. I slammed on the brakes, and the greeter immediately greeted me in American English, "Hello, how many of you are there?"
The convention staff were stunned. "There are only three of you. Are there any seats available?"
The greeter was also taken aback. He can speak Mandarin?
"Please come in! We offer special treatment to our foreign guests!" the host called out. "Three foreign guests, please take our private room."
There were many country folk in the hot pot restaurant who had never seen foreigners before, and they all turned around to stare at the comic convention.
Some whispered among themselves, "So this is what foreigners look like. They're completely different from us."
Wow, look at his blonde hair! How can he have blonde hair?
Wow, look, his eyes are blue! How can he have blue eyes?
He's so tall, his legs are so long, it's so strange.
Some of the girls blushed and secretly peeked at the comic convention.
At the comic convention, he was judged and criticized like a monkey, and he pushed Zhao Xiaoyue and Zhao Zhe to the front.
Zhao Xiaoyue has a round, chubby face that is fair and tender, and she is extremely cute.
Zhao Zhe also heard people talking about him, this foreigner.
He was much more at ease, walking in confidently and shouting, "Dad, Mom, Grandma, we're back!"
Zhao Guozhong peeked out from the last private room. How could he hear Xiao Zhe's voice?
Are you hallucinating?
"Dad! Mom! Grandma! Where are you?"
As Zhao Zhe walked, he called out. Zhao Xiaoyue opened her mouth twice, but faced with the strange looks from those around her, she couldn't make a sound and followed closely behind Zhao Zhe, looking for her parents.
Comic conventions are usually for social butterflies, but this one has turned them into social phobias.
“Hey Zhao, I suspect I have the same disease as you.”
"go!"
Zhao Guozhong was now truly certain that this was indeed Xiao Zhe's voice.
"Mom, Guilan, is Xiaozhe back?"
Grandma Li searched the entire lobby, but there were too many people.
You must have misheard me.
Zhao Xiaoyue was the first to see Grandma Li, and excitedly rushed over to hug her, "Grandma, I've missed you so much!"
