Chapter 256 Promotion
Song Liyun nodded after hearing this: It turns out that one still needs a backer to go out. In the past, Lin Tao had to make an appointment to see Jiang Feng.
"From now on, you will be in charge of all the furs in the tribe. If you need anything, just let Captain Luo send someone to notify you."
"Your luggage shop, and the wool yarn..."
Zhao Tingduo arranged things one by one.
Tonight the building is bustling with people and packed with customers.
The tired and excited waiters were carrying plates of food as they moved through the crowd. They accidentally spilled the soup everywhere, causing a round of scolding.
In addition, the guy who took the order kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Mr. Guo, the grilled lamb chops you ordered are sold out!"
"How come it's sold out? Look, they're still selling over there!
I think you are just after fame and are deliberately doing things to deceive people, saying that lamb chops are half price to lure people over and exchange them for other things.
I don’t care. I’ve been waiting for an hour to eat barbecue steak, so you have to serve it to me.”
A burly man stood with his hands on his hips, looking angry. The guy wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only suppress his anger and explain in a nice way.
Mr. Shen is now holding a promotion, which comes suddenly and is indeed a surprise.
Business is booming, the whole city is grilling skewers,
Without advance preparation, there were not enough sheep in the surrounding villages, so people were sent everywhere to buy them.
But the store still has to support it. Without sheep, where can they get extra lamb chops?
The guys were trying to explain anxiously, but some of them were so anxious to see their business was booming that they couldn't help but feel a little proud and said directly: "Eat it if you want or not, if you don't want to eat it, forget it!" The customers were so angry that they just walked away.
"Quick, are the skewers I ordered on the table?"
"What's with this kebab? It tastes so weird and bitter!"
A middle-aged man in a fine silk jacket threw down an unfinished skewer and drank water desperately with a bitter face. It took him a while to dilute the strange taste in his mouth.
It is also said that Tianxianglou learned the skewer making skills from Jinxilou, but the taste is worlds apart.
I can only coax the fool who is eating for the first time, but I am a member of Tianxianglou.
He held his breath, refused to eat the skewers, and even refused the grilled lamb chops that were about to be served. He left with a gloomy face, leaving the table full of dishes.
They were all acquaintances from Qili County. They came to Jinxilou just to get a bargain, but seeing everyone around them eating happily, they felt too embarrassed to shout out.
Like him, some people left the table one after another.
For the waiters who were waiting for seats at the restaurant, the more they took away, the better. They even happily collected most of the dishes left on the table and took them home in the evening to make another delicious meal for their family.
But there are a lot left!
Being so busy, the guys didn't pay much attention to these little things.
The same scene was also being played out in Zuichunlou, Heji Restaurant and other places, creating a bustling and prosperous scene.
In the private room of Zuichunlou, Huang Changsheng, Shen Leyan and others were sitting together drinking and chatting. There were cold dishes, hot dishes and barbecue on the table, but no one touched it.
Everyone was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with smiles on their faces but with different expressions.
Huang Changsheng's face was drunken, and he crossed his legs while holding a wine glass. He said, "I heard that the number of customers at Tianxianglou yesterday was less than 20% of the usual number. A few people were still soliciting customers on the street, and the 20% they had was not enough for the waiters to eat.
If this drags on for another month and a half, we’ll definitely have to close down. Master Shen, don’t you agree?”
After he finished speaking, he stared at Shen Leyan with a pair of eyes, with a sneer in his eyes, and a bit of anger: This guy had such a good idea before, but he didn’t come up with it earlier and embarrassed himself.
Shen Leyan touched the jade ring on his fair and tender hand, pretending not to hear Huang Changsheng's words, but smiled without saying a word.
The owner of He Ji Restaurant was a skinny old man with thin white hair pinned up with a gold hairpin, looking quite shaky.
At this moment, he was sitting next to Shen Leyan, his eyebrows fluttering as he spoke confidently, "With Leader Shen taking the lead, we'll definitely kick these unruly bitches out within half a month. Alas! You don't know yet, Tianxianglou has some men selling their bodies, turning a good place for delicious food into a brothel. Alas, the world is really going downhill!"
Liao Fu from Furui Winery was also here. He had a frown on his face and just drank his tea in silence.
Since he rejected the order from Tianxianglou, he has suffered heavy losses in business for more than two months. Now it is time to harvest grain and brew wine, but he has not sold his wine and is stuck with old debts.
Now, following Shen Huishou and the others, we can get half price, and just watch the wine and drinks being taken away in barrels, but the money we earn is pitiful.
Besides, what's the point of talking about half a month now... Alas! If I do this for half a month, all my bonuses for the year will be gone!
There were a few others who were just like Liao Fu, with sad expressions on their faces. They were forced to do this by Huang Changsheng. Their business was average to begin with, and even with half-price selling prices, they didn't attract many customers. Instead, they were making a loss, and it seemed they couldn't even make back their money from shouting.
Just when Huang Changsheng and He Dong were about to hold out for half a month, the owner of Zuichunlou ran into the room with a piece of paper.
He didn't say anything, but just stood next to Huang Changsheng and whispered a few words in his ear.
Huang Changsheng's expression changed, and he asked, "Where's the post?"
The shopkeeper quickly took out a piece of red paper with ink written on it from behind his back.
This paper looks special, as wide as a palm and as hard as a wooden board.
Huang Changsheng looked down and saw that it was written on the top of the sign "Qili County's First Candy and Food Exhibition", and below it listed the participating products, shops, rules, and finally the location and time.
There are only a few strokes of the pen, and the paper is simple, and it can be seen that it was done in a hurry.
Huang Changsheng sneered: "This is because Tianxianglou is panicking, we just ignore it."
Seeing the owner of Zuichunlou coming in with something and whispering to Huang Changsheng, other people in the room also noticed this.
After hearing Huang Changsheng's words, He Dong said in a hoarse voice: "Boss Huang, what did you see?"
Huang Changsheng handed him the card nonchalantly. He Dong glanced at it and quickly handed it to Shen Leyan.
Huang Changsheng looked down on his flattery and said lazily, "Look everyone, that military girl from Tianxianglou is causing trouble again, instigating the county magistrate to organize some kind of trade fair! Restaurant business relies on word of mouth. Who would mess around like her?"
He Dong had just looked at it. There were few words on the post, and the general meaning was that everyone was asked to bring some things to set up stalls.
He chuckled, "That's right. My Heji Restaurant sells a lot of things. Roasted pig's head is a local specialty. We can't sell enough every day. Do I have to carry a big pot to set up a stall on the roadside?"
Shen Leyan took another closer look and finished reading the less than fifty words in a few breaths. He then handed it to the people next to him who were craning their necks to look over here, and asked them to take turns reading it.
Shen Leyan asked the shopkeeper who came in with the notice: "Who gave you this? Do you know which other companies it was given to?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Huang Changsheng and, seeing he was also urging him, said, "Tianxianglou handed them out on the street, saying anyone interested should register according to the instructions! The registration deadline is tomorrow afternoon, which is one day."
"This is outrageous! Where does this military girl think our cooking business is?" Huang Changsheng was furious.
Shen Leyan's expression also changed, and the cardboard in his hand was bent by him.
