Chapter 230 Opening Surprise
Ye Mingzhu took two steps back, trying to avoid it, but it put its head in front of Ye Mingzhu again, and Ye Mingzhu took two steps back in shock.
When the “lion dance”’s head was opened, it turned out to be Xiaowu?
"How is it? Are you happy with the surprise I prepared?" Xiaowu said loudly.
Ye Mingzhu twitched the corners of her mouth, showing surprise but not joy.
Xiaowu shook the huge lion head vigorously with a smile on his face.
Ye Mingzhu's heart, which had been pounding with fear just now, finally calmed down a little.
"Boss, let me do it." Ruan Linlin took the plate of snacks from Ye Mingzhu's hand and excitedly went outside to distribute the snacks.
Xiaowu put on the "lion dance" head again and started to perform while shaking it. Yu Jiaming came over from the side.
"It seems that you don't like the surprise Xiaowu prepared?"
Ye Mingzhu looked around him and saw that he didn't seem to have any guards. She asked, "Aren't you the county magistrate? Why are you here alone?"
Yu Jiaming smiled and said, "My sister's dim sum shop is opening, how can I not come?"
Ye Mingzhu avoided his gaze and looked at the crowd: "Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, you are joking. I am just an ordinary fisherman's daughter. How can I call you my brother or sister?"
The smile on Yu Jiaming's face faded: "Mingzhu, I said, I have already decided in my heart that you are my sister."
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "My Lord, please don't talk about things that cannot be changed."
Before Jiaming could say anything, she joined everyone in clapping.
The dragon and lion dance teams had just finished their performance when the crowd began to applaud.
Ruan Linlin took the opportunity to tell everyone that all the snacks today were sold at a 50% discount.
Xiaowu took off the "lion head" on his head and was the first to stand in front of the shop. Then several people who had eaten snacks also stood behind and started queuing.
Ruan Linlin stood behind the counter weighing and packing for everyone, while Wu Yue collected money beside her.
Yu Jiaming wanted to say something, but Ye Mingzhu went straight back into the shop to help Ruan Linlin pack the snacks.
After buying the snacks, Xiao Wu happily walked up to Yu Jiaming and said, "Brother Ming, I've bought the snacks."
Although Yu Jiaming's face was calm, his eyes were filled with frustration. He took one last look at Ye Mingzhu in the shop, turned around and left: "Go back."
Although Xiaowu noticed that Yu Jiaming's expression was not right, he didn't know the reason.
He looked at the scattered people queuing in front of the dim sum shop and thought that it was because there were too few people. He called over one of the "lion dance" team standing nearby and whispered a few words to him.
After a while, a man in official uniform came hurriedly.
"Buy a box of snacks. I want this, this, and this." The visitor pointed at the snacks in the shop and picked out several in a row.
Seeing that he had picked a lot, Ye Mingzhu reminded him, "If you can't finish it after opening it, be sure to wrap it in oil paper."
The visitor nodded and said in a slightly higher voice: "We all love eating your snacks. How can we not finish them? We are just afraid that there won't be enough."
Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. His attitude seemed like he was advertising for her.
"This shop has only been open for the first day, and you already like to eat their snacks. Who are you trying to fool?" A puzzled voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Several people who were walking towards this side stopped. The man in official uniform, holding snacks, swallowed his saliva and looked in the direction of the previous voice: "This shop used to sell snacks at the city gate. Many people in our government office have eaten them. What? We can't like them?"
His eyes narrowed dangerously, and everyone in the crowd avoided his gaze, not daring to raise any objections.
The few people who had just walked over looked at each other, then walked to the counter and bought some snacks each.
Ye Mingzhu was almost holding her forehead in frustration. The only person who could get someone from the yamen to buy snacks besides Yu Jiaming was Xiao Wu. Considering Xiao Wu's performance just now, she felt that this person should be Xiao Wu.
However, the "shill" he sent was too fake and had already been seen through.
Ye Mingzhu looked at the sky and saw that the auspicious time had arrived, so she asked Ruan Linlin to take out the firecrackers that had been prepared long ago.
A burst of firecrackers rang out, adding a bit of liveliness to the dim sum shop. Ruan Linlin also hung a sign outside saying 50% off today and shouted a few times outside.
Ye Mingzhu suddenly thought of the modern loop-playing speakers, but it was just an idea.
Ruan Linlin's loud promotion attracted a few more customers to the store, so Ye Mingzhu stopped her from going.
Putting aside whether her voice can handle it, their dim sum shop doesn't take the route of shouting recklessly.
This street was not far from the government office. Although there were some food vendors, it was just lively but not noisy. They only shouted for a while before people from the shops next door came out, some with frowns and pouts.
Today is their first day of opening, so it's understandable that they send people to promote the business, but it won't work in the long run.
Ruan Linlin and Wu Yue stood behind the counter with excitement on their faces. When someone came to buy snacks, they would give each other a piece of the snacks they had cut into small pieces.
Ye Mingzhu planned to train the two to become big managers. In addition, she was selling goods online in modern times, so she simply let them do what they wanted.
Fortunately, although it was the two of them's first day selling goods, they had already rehearsed many times before and did not make any mistakes.
When there were no customers, Wu Yue would take the cut snacks and distribute them to people in the shops next door.
There are people who like to take advantage of others everywhere. Some people want to have a second piece after eating one piece. Wu Yue always tells them that they can only eat one piece of the sample snack.
Someone stiffened his neck and said he couldn't taste anything. Wu Yue pointed in the direction of the shop and said, "We have all kinds of food here. You can go over and take your pick."
The other party was about to stab him, but someone stopped him and "kindly" reminded him that someone in the government office liked to eat the snacks from this restaurant, so he'd better not cause trouble today.
A farce that was about to happen was averted just like that.
Ye Mingzhu looked at it for a while and nodded with satisfaction. Ruan Linlin and Wu Yue worked well together. They let passers-by taste the food without letting them take advantage too much. In addition, the 50% discount attracted more people.
After the wave of snack buying was over, she planned to go to the government office. Xiaowu had shown her such support today, so she had to go and express her gratitude.
Ruan Linlin knew that Ye Mingzhu was going to the government office, and nodded in surprise: "The boss also knows people in the government office? Then no one will come to our shop to cause trouble in the future."
She had followed her father in business since she was a child, so she naturally knew that in order to run a shop successfully, in addition to the shop itself, one had to deal with all kinds of people. If one had someone in the yamen, it would naturally save a lot of trouble.
Ye Mingzhu didn't say much, just said she was going to see a friend.
Ruan Linlin nodded vigorously and asked if she needed to go with her.
Ye Mingzhu thought about it and agreed. She asked Ruan Linlin and Xiao Wu to get to know each other so that if there was anything in the shop, they could go to him.
The two bought some gifts and went to the yamen.
As I reached the door, I bumped into Xiaowu who was coming out.
