Besides, although the first prize is gone, the lucky draw is still going on. The draw box is full of discount coupons, and someone just won a pound of free braised meat. The most expensive braised meat is braised beef, which costs forty yuan a pound—that's forty yuan free!
Despite the various incentives, the customers in line didn't leave even though the first prize had already been claimed; instead, they became even more determined to queue. How could you prove you were there and watched someone win a ten-thousand-yuan cash prize if you didn't buy a pound or two of braised food?
All one hundred banknotes were verified by the banknote detector. Mr. Sun took out several red plastic bags from his pocket and wrapped the stack of banknotes tightly in layers before holding them in his hand. A relaxed and carefree smile finally appeared on his face.
Ten thousand yuan! A year's salary! That's enough to replace the washing machine that's been rattling around for years, the one that makes noise that echoes throughout the whole building every time it's turned on; it's enough to replace the old sofa that's been used for twenty years; it's enough...
Just as Mr. Sun was lost in thought, Xu An handed him a business card from Xu's Braised Food Shop with his signature on it.
"Mr. Sun, this is another reward for our first prize. You can enjoy one pound of free braised food every day for the entire month of September. It can be any kind of meat or vegetable, any flavor, or any price. You can redeem it in person by presenting this business card. This reward is non-transferable and cannot be claimed by someone else on your behalf."
"Thank you, thank you. I wish you a prosperous business, and may your wealth increase daily." After quickly reciting a set of congratulatory words, Mr. Sun changed the subject and asked, "Boss, is the 'Hellish Braised Food Packet' included?"
"Yes, of course! Any product sold in our store is included."
"That's spicy."
"This is not included; you can only choose braised food products from Xu's Braised Food Shop."
Although it was a little disappointing, Mr. Sun's face lit up again when he touched the 10,000 yuan in his pocket. With money, he could buy as much as he wanted once the chili shop owner returned with his restock! He gently rubbed his right thumb against the plastic bag containing the banknotes, thinking how good it felt to have money!
When the young internet celebrities who were invited to the opening ceremony saw that Mr. Sun had actually pocketed 10,000 yuan, and then saw the local TV station staff filming the scene, their eyes lit up and they started to have their own ideas.
This 10,000 yuan investment is quite a publicity stunt, and it even got filmed and reported by a local Shanghai TV station. Once the news airs, I'm sure many people will be interested! Quite a few will probably search for related information online!
If they see a more detailed on-site report than the news report on their own accounts, along with more photos not included in the news, they'll naturally leave comments on my post! With a little guidance, getting over a hundred comments will be a piece of cake!
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. These online celebrities were instantly energized, snapping photos indiscriminately. Those focused on food concentrated on photographing the braised food products from Xu's Braised Food Shop; those who enjoyed creating drama focused on the intense flavors of the "hellish" braised dishes; and those who loved sensationalism focused on the 10,000 yuan prize.
Today, everyone who was slacking off at work suddenly realized something was wrong. Just after seeing an article on a popular social media platform titled "I declare this braised food shop number one in the braised food world," a friend in a QQ group forwarded a post titled "Hellish braised food cooked with the spiciest chilies in China—dare you try it!" Then, on another app, they saw an article titled "A windfall from the sky! Successfully complete the challenge and win 10,000 yuan in cash!"
These tweets have different titles, content, pictures, and posters, but they all have one thing in common: the shop they recommend is the same one—Xu's Braised Food Shop!
The comment section below the tweet was filled with comments, mostly from curious bystanders, but also from onlookers who shared their thoughts, attracting many inquiries. The number of comments quickly surpassed the initial expectation of one hundred, heading straight for three hundred, and the number continued to grow rapidly.
As the number of comments increased, so did the number of reposts. These tweets were repeatedly forwarded by individuals to group chats with colleagues, friends, roommates, family, and so on. Then, using this group as a starting point, they quickly spread to other group chats, gradually forming a network.
Through these repeated reposts, many people have become curious about Xu's Braised Food Shop. Discussions about this shop can be seen in almost every group. Why not check it out after get off work? Try their braised dishes and see if their so-called 'hellish braised food' lives up to the name?
