Chapter 252
At 10 o'clock in the morning on the weekend, Su Ji Food Store had just opened and a young man came in hurriedly.
As soon as he entered the room, he said to Su Yuanzheng, "Boss Su, your prize redemption must be real and valid, right? I have collected all the Journey to the West cards, and today I am here to redeem them for a radio."
Su Yuanzheng asked Su Yu to inform Su Miao, while he said to the young man with a smile on his face, "Of course it is real and valid. Comrade, what is your name? Have you eaten yet?"
The young man realized that he was too eager. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Just call me Xiao Pan. I haven't eaten yet."
Su Yuanzheng immediately pulled him over to look at the menu and said, "Come on, take a look at what you want to eat, just order whatever you want! You're the first winner of this event, so I'll treat you to dinner today!"
"Really? Really? Besides redeeming the prize, I can also get a free meal? How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Really, really, just be bold! After you're done eating, I'll make sure you get a new radio to take home."
Su Yuanzheng was overjoyed at this moment, as he remembered what his daughter said: if he gave away a radio, there would be one less person who could win the 999 cash prize!
Oh my! This is a huge savings. What’s a mere meal?
At this time, Su Miao came out carrying a big box with a big red flower on it and a sign hanging on it, which read "Second Prize of Su Ji Food Store Card Collection Activity". Xiao Pan's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Hong... Hongmei radio? A desktop model?"
Su Miao smiled and said, "Yes, although there are small portable radios now, we think large radios have better sound quality and stronger signals, so we gave everyone large radios."
"Okay, okay! I like it. I went to the department store and saw it half a month ago. It was selling for 90 yuan! I didn't want to buy it then, but I didn't expect to win it now."
Su Yuanzheng brought out some pork rice and said, "Come! Eat first. This is our signature dish. I wonder if you've ever eaten here before."
Xiao Pan couldn't refuse the invitation, so he sat down to eat. After eating, he told the father and daughter how he won the prize.
"I live in Jiangnan District, which is far away. Last time I was on business, I happened to go to your house to drink porridge and saw the prize redemption event. I really like your shredded papaya, so I bought two cans and took them home. The ones that came out were Pigsy and Sandy.
After eating, I found that the small shop at the corner of the alley also sold your shredded papaya. They said they bought it directly from you. It was 2 cents more expensive than yours! But since it saved me the travel expenses and time, I bought it directly.
This morning, I was trying to get some papaya shreds to deliver my porridge, but unexpectedly, I got a new Wukong card. I originally only had three, but I knew my neighbor had two Tripitaka cards that I hadn't collected, so I went over and negotiated with him, and I bought the extra card for three yuan.
Su Miao nodded and said, "So that's how it is. You've already saved up a set, why don't you save up a little more and work towards the grand prize?"
"Oh! I'm already very satisfied that I can buy a radio after eating a few bottles of papaya shreds. It's not easy to win a big prize. I'd better not be too greedy!"
At this time, there were already quite a few customers in the store, all listening with great interest, waiting to see whether Su Ji would really give him the radio.
Seeing that time was almost up, Su Miao said, "Brother, you should have brought all the cards you collected, right? Take them out for us to check. If there are no problems, the radio will be yours!"
"Okay, okay! Here it is! How can I come to claim my prize without my card?"
He took out a large silk scarf from his trouser pocket, opened the scarf and found a layer of straw paper inside, and when he opened the straw paper, the card was finally revealed.
Su Miao checked the card and the code on it, registered Xiao Pan's personal information, and nodded to his father.
The next second, Su Yuanzheng pulled out a small gong from under the cash register and struck it several times. He then said loudly, "Congratulations to Comrade Xiao Pan for winning the second prize in the Su Ji Papaya Shredded Vegetable Card Collection Competition, a Hongmei Radio!"
Xiao Pan took the radio with excitement, and the diners next to him clapped their hands to congratulate him.
"Since this prize has been redeemed, according to the rules of the event, we will destroy this set of cards on the spot. Everyone is welcome to actively participate. The event is real and valid!"
Su Yuanzheng carried out a wooden display stand with red paper on it, on which was written the name of the prize winner, the time of redemption and the prize.
"Comrade Xiao Pan, in order to prove the authenticity of our event to everyone, we will record all customers who come to claim prizes on a list and put it on display at the entrance of the store. However, we will only publish your last name, not your full name."
Little Pan was already beaming with joy, hugging the radio. He didn't care about any of this. He said cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay! Look everyone, this promotion is real! I won a prize today, and I hope everyone wins tomorrow!"
After saying that, he left with the radio, wanting to take it home quickly to show his family.
In fact, in addition to the reasons Su Miao mentioned before, the most important reason for choosing a large radio is that it is conducive to publicity.
Just think about how Xiao Pan has to take the bus for more than an hour to go home, and how many people he must have met on the way!
With such a big red flower and a sign hanging there, there must be a lot of people asking about it. Xiao Pan is in high spirits and will probably share his winning story with the inquirers. This way their publicity effect will be achieved. After all, they have spent money and cannot miss any opportunity for publicity.
The sign was placed at the door of the store, attracting a lot of attention.
"Wow! Someone claimed their prize so quickly? I thought it would take at least several months to save up, but it seems pretty easy now!"
"But he didn't claim the grand prize, he claimed the second prize, a Hongmei radio."
"A radio is also good! It's worth at least a few dozen dollars, right? Think about it, a can of shredded papaya is only one dollar, no matter how you calculate it, it's a huge profit!"
"No more talking! I'm done with the can at home and need to buy more. I hope I can draw a different card today."
"I'll buy it too! I'll buy it too! I've already collected all nine zodiac animals, and I'm not far from the cash prize!"
"How did you collect so many cards so quickly? Have you finished eating the shredded papaya? Don't waste good things just to collect cards!"
"Of course they've finished it! I have a whole family, and if everyone picks up two chopsticks at each meal, it will be finished in a few days, and I can buy more, hehe~"
Xiao Pan’s successful redemption of the prize today has pushed the popularity of the card collection activity to a new climax, and more and more people are insisting on buying papaya shreds.
Gradually, a group of cardholders developed, and the daily greeting changed from "Have you eaten?" to "Have you smoked?" This was a new phenomenon that had never happened before.
