Chapter 739 Kelaiju Reopens
September 10th.
Xie Xing, the county magistrate of Yunhe County, married the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, a prominent family in Yunhe County.
The entire Yunhe County celebrated this.
On the same day, Kelaiju reopened.
Every customer who enters the store can receive a free snack or drink.
The snack is a limited-edition Mid-Autumn Festival egg yolk pastry from Xinglong Restaurant.
The beverage is Xiangmingxuan's signature honey pomelo sweet soup, a return to its roots.
The collaboration between Kelaike and Xinglong Restaurant has attracted many people to visit the restaurant.
Everyone wants to see what Kelaiju will look like after the changes!
To celebrate the grand opening, Aji changed into his traditional ethnic clothing and stood at the entrance of the restaurant to personally greet guests.
"Please come in!" Aji led his men inside.
"There's music? Could it be that there are exotic dancers performing?" the guest asked.
"That's right!" Aji's face beamed with a bright smile. "There won't be any singing or dancing tonight, I hope everyone has a great time!"
"Okay, okay, okay..."
The guest praised it three times and then walked inside.
Aji escorted the person into the restaurant and immediately went out to greet the new guest.
Before long, it got dark.
"Go, light lanterns on the outside of the restaurant, keep the inside dimly lit, and don't stop the stage performance!"
Aji instructed his men to do it, while he himself stood at the door, looking up at the opposite bank of the river, and couldn't help but sigh.
He muttered to himself, "It's Lord Xie's wedding today, I'm afraid they've all gone..."
"Who said they all went? I'm here now, aren't I?"
A familiar female voice came from the side.
Aji turned his head and saw that Wan Qiqi was walking over from Xiangmingxuan.
"You...didn't go?" Aji was somewhat surprised.
Although there are rumors that Wan Qiqi and Xie Xing have a bad relationship.
But for such an important event as a wedding, Chen Yongnian should make the trip, given his master-disciple relationship with Xie Xing.
"What's the point of going? We might as well come and see how things are at Kelaiju."
Wan Qiqi looked up at the colorful lanterns hanging in the air with a smile in her eyes.
Various colors reflected on the pavilion made the entire pavilion appear exceptionally bright.
"Shall we go in and take a look?" Wan Qiqi asked with a smile.
“Okay!” Aji looked around, handed over the task of greeting the guests to his trusted assistant, and led Wan Qiqi inside.
"As you said, we set up counters on both sides of the stage for guests to order drinks."
As Aji spoke, he looked toward the counter under the colorful lights.
The glass goblets, filled with wine, shimmered and shone under the colorful lights, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
A number of customers stood by the counter, holding bottles of wine and chatting with smiles.
"I never imagined that this method would make the glass cups even more beautiful and also sell the wine!" Aji sighed.
Wan Qiqi smiled and said, "Is it possible to earn more than before, and still make customers accept it?"
“Yes!” Aji nodded hurriedly.
Wan Qiqi smiled, her eyes crinkling.
In reality, I simply transplanted the business model of modern nightclubs to ancient times.
Then, we can also transplant that kind of marketing strategy to ancient times.
Because it is novel and unique, it will arouse everyone's curiosity.
But these are far from enough to sustain a business in the long run, so visual appeal is also needed to attract customers.
Exotic dancers, a unique performance.
Beautiful women are often the best way to attract customers.
It's a pity that ancient times weren't as open as modern times, otherwise, setting up a disco would be quite nice.
Looking around, Wan Qiqi could only vaguely count the number of women.
If you can't let loose and have fun, you won't have as much enjoyment.
"Actually, there are still some regrets!" Wan Qiqi sighed.
Aji was drawn in by Wan Qiqi's words and couldn't help but ask, "What's the regret?"
"I'll scare you to death if I tell you!" Wan Qiqi suddenly moved closer to Aji, startling Aji into shrinking back.
Wan Qiqi couldn't stop laughing, "For example, a man and a woman standing very close together, dancing together!"
Aji frowned. "He's alright on stage!"
"It would be so much fun if everyone could dance together, but alas, what a pity..." Wan Qiqi kept shaking her head.
Aji kept thinking about how he could fulfill Wan Qiqi's request.
He racked his brains but still couldn't come up with a solution. Instead, the manager called him over to talk to the guests.
Aji looked at the manager with slight displeasure, then at Wan Qiqi, "There are private seats on the second floor, you can go up and sit down!"
Wan Qiqi nodded, not disturbing Aji, and wandered around on her own.
"Wan Qiqi!"
A male voice cut through the crowd and called out to Wan Qiqi, who was going upstairs.
Wan Qiqi turned her head and searched for the person who had called out to her in the crowd, finally locking onto a man waving a fan.
She tilted her head and murmured, "Where there's excitement, there you are!"
"What did you say?" Xiao Huai stood at the top of the stairs in front of Wan Qiqi, looking up at her with his eyes open, scrutinizing her.
"It's nothing, they just said that Young Master Xiao San came to join in the fun again!" Wan Qiqi said, then turned and went upstairs.
She went up to the second-floor private room and sat down, only to find that Xiao Huai was still with her, sitting down opposite her.
Unable to resist asking, "Why is Third Young Master following me instead of joining in the fun?"
"Just joining in the fun!" Xiao Huai waved his fan, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and asked, "I'm curious, why is Boss Wan coming to someone else's restaurant instead of his own?"
"Can't I come?" Wan Qiqi shrugged, looking completely innocent. "Just like you, I'm here to join in the fun!"
"Really?" Xiao Huai looked unconvinced and said casually, "I thought Boss Wan was planning to abandon Xinglong Restaurant and switch to Lai Ke Lai Ju!"
He snapped his fan shut and tapped his palm lightly. “After all, everyone’s saying that Manager Wan is visiting Kelaiju more often than his own restaurant these days!”
