Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, another change took place in Zhong Ziqi's small stall. Zhao Zheng'an felt that Zhong Ziqi was exposed to the sun and wind every day too hard, so he found a shop for him in the town.
The facade is not very big, and there is a certain rent every day. Zhong Ziqi consulted with Zhao Ah and Huang Ah, and the three families will rent this facade together. When the time comes, any good things from home can be put in the store, and each person has a space.
The left and right here are very close to the pier, so you don't have to worry about losing customers. And you can set up a few tables in front of the small shop, eat one and go one by one, just right.
Zhao Ahma and Huang Ahma went home and thought about it, and they felt that this matter was reasonable, anyway, they could not go wrong with Brother Qi, so they agreed with Zhong Ziqi's proposal.
On the day of paying the rent, Zhao Ah and Huang Ah also followed, and then each took out their own share of the money and rented the store for a month. Although I feel distressed that more than half of the money I finally earned was lost all of a sudden, but thinking of earning more than this in the future, I feel a lot better.
Because Uncle Huang is a carpenter, Zhong Ziqi asked Uncle Huang to make a wooden plaque, paint it with a layer of bright paint, and then he wrote the words "very delicious" with a pen.
Zhao Zheng'an praised his good handwriting. He himself has been away for so many years, and he can more or less recognize a lot of words, but if he is asked to write, it is like a dog pawing.
Since they were always coming in and out of the store, everyone soon knew that the most delicious stall on the pier had moved, but fortunately he didn't move far, and was still near the pier.
When everything was ready, this "quite delicious" opened smoothly. The two firecrackers hanging in front of the door were crackling and thinking non-stop. Both adults and children covered their ears and hid away. It wasn't until the firecrackers were set off that everyone came over to congratulate Zhong Ziqi. Whether it was Huang Ah or Zhao Ah, the people on the pier were familiar with each other, and no one was alive. I started to order my favorite food and ate it.
Zhong Ziqi was busy selling deep-fried dough sticks in the store, while Zhao Zhengan stood at the door and greeted the customers: "Whoever enters the store in the future, whoever spends fifteen copper coins, we will have a chance to draw a lottery. This prize has various mysterious rewards." Oh."
When the customer heard the words, his curiosity was immediately aroused: "What reward? Tell us about it."
The two Zhao Zheng'an brothers put their arms around the man's shoulders: "Of course, you will only know about the mysterious prize after eating it. If I told you in advance, there would be no surprises."
"Boss, how would you like to get me ten-cent fried dough sticks and a bowl of bean curd? Is fifteen cents enough?" a guest asked loudly.
Zhao Ning brought him the food, took the money and said wait a minute. walked away for a while.
Everyone stretched their necks and waited for what kind of surprise there would be. After a while, Zhao Ning took a bamboo tube full of bamboo sticks and put it on the man's table: "Objective, you can pick one."
The man looked left and right to see something, but gave up after a while: "Can I shake it?" The man was also afraid of being cheated.
"Yes." Zhao Ning handed him the bamboo tube.
The man took it and shook it a few times like shaking a dice.
"Zhao Laoliu hurry up, can you? Is it a gambling addiction again?" Someone familiar with that person anxiously exposed his background.
The man scratched his head in embarrassment and put down the bamboo tube to look around. Finally, he picked a bamboo stick in the middle and couldn't wait to take it out to see what it was. Ning asked what he meant.
Zhao Ning was trained by Zhong Ziqi, so he took it over and took a look: "Congratulations, guest officer, this sign has a penny reward written on it." Zhao Ning showed the bamboo sticks to those onlookers, and those who could read nodded It is indeed a penny reward.
"So let's give this objective a penny back, promise, the guest officer will take the penny." Zhao Ning took the penny and handed it to the man.
The man smiled and put it in his arms, thinking it was quite interesting.
The onlookers also thought it was very interesting, and ordered food worth 15 cents. Some people got one penny, some even got two pennies, some got an egg, some got two fried dough sticks, and so on. Not the same, but as more people draw, there is also a kind of bamboo stick that is drawn, that is, "Thank you for your patronage."
Did the people who got it foolishly ask what the prize is
Zhao Ning explained it to the man, and the man was immediately frustrated. Why are his hands so lost? The people around laughed at him, but gradually many people got "Thank you for your patronage." Compared with those who had prizes, their luck was really bad.
The experienced gambler immediately thought deeply, it seems that today is not a good time to make a move, and his luck must be bad. When he is a lucky gambler, he will happily decide to go to the casino to gamble. Everyone has different ideas, but they are all attracted by Zhong Ziqi's unique business methods. Almost doubled than before.
Jin Sheng of Jinhua Restaurant was shocked. The crowded shop was almost more crowded than their restaurant. Some people were elated and beaming, while others were sad and downcast.
Jin Sheng was particularly curious and squeezed into the store, and saw that the layout of the room was divided into three melons. The fried dough sticks sold by Zhong Ziqi were in the middle, the rice porridge and pickled vegetables sold by Amo Huang were on the left, and the food on the right was Zhao Ama sells tofu nao.
Jin Sheng knew that they were all good friends, so he was not surprised to see them together here, but what surprised him was that the lottery draw attracted batch after batch of guests.
"Treasurer Jin, you are here, I am not far away to welcome you." Zhao Zheng'an sharp-eyed spotted Jin Sheng who was standing in the crowd and was also looking into the room.
Jin Sheng walked over with a smile: "Your business is still as popular as ever, I'm so envious."
Zhao Zhengan made a gesture of invitation: "Where, where, small businesses are all things that are not on the table, and they can't be compared with your big restaurant."
"You and your husband are too humble. Your food has become a special food in our town. A few days ago, some guests from other places asked me about you."
Zhao Zhengan smiled.
"I think you have done a good job in this lottery, who thought of it?"
Zhao Zheng'an spread his hands: "It definitely can't be me."
"Is it Brother Qi again? He has the most thoughts." Jin Sheng knew who it was without guessing, and the other party's weird ideas always made him sigh.
Zhao Zheng'an stood with Jin Sheng in an inconspicuous corner of the store, watching people coming and going, laughing and laughing.
Zhong Ziqi took time out of her busy schedule to look for Zhao Zhengan, and immediately found him standing in the corner, and the treasurer Jin beside him. He was surprised for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
"You boy, you are blessed. Such a good brother, some of them are found by good people. But he has become your husband." Jin Sheng said.
"I also think I'm quite blessed, and it must be the blessing I cultivated in my previous life." Zhao Zheng'an said proudly, his heart was also secretly vigilant, and his eyes scanned the surroundings like radar. Seeing someone give Zhong Ziqi an extra look, his gaze was shot at the other person like a knife. My daughter-in-law is so attractive, good-looking and capable, I really want to keep her at home, but unfortunately, the wishes of my daughter-in-law are beyond his control, so he can only guard him by his side like a guardian. Get rid of any flies that come up.
"Talk to your husband, I am very optimistic about his lottery, and I plan to implement it in a restaurant, and ask him if he has any suggestions." Jin Sheng said.
"Okay, I'll definitely bring the words." Zhao Zhengan was not surprised by Jin Sheng's words at all. And he believes that within a few days, many shops will follow suit.
Jin Sheng stayed in the store for a while and then went home. Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi packed several fried dough sticks for shopkeeper Jin.
Zhong Ziqi's shop didn't close until the sun was about to set, when the traffic was low. Today, everyone made a fortune. Zhao Ahmao and Huang Ahmao couldn't close their mouths with smiles. Like Uncle Huang, he took a look at it in the morning with anxiety, and after seeing it, he couldn't leave, and even the two of them were busy for a day. Fortunately, hard work always pays off, and their earnings have turned over several copper coins. times.
"Thanks to the lottery that Brother Qi thought of, otherwise how could I earn so much." Huang Amo thanked Zhong Ziqi, he can be said to be their great hero. "
"Yeah, it's thanks to Brother Qi's trick. You said that these children are still hiding it from us." Zhao Amo complained to Huang Amo. He and Huang Amo hit it off. The temperament I like has become a good friend who talks about everything.
"Isn't this a surprise for you?" Zhao Ning said jokingly, he was exhausted after a busy day, but he couldn't stop his joy.
"Although it is gratifying and congratulatory, today's opening is very successful, but this situation will not last long. I believe that in a few days, this lottery activity will become popular in other shops." Zhao Zhengan said, he did not deliberately throw cold water on a few people , it's just to get them ready, don't get too excited.
"Yeah, don't say it for a few days, other restaurants and shops will probably start to implement it tomorrow. Moreover, everyone is trying to make something fresh and interesting, and the enthusiasm will gradually cool down after a long time." Zhong Ziqi agrees with Zhao Zheng'an's words He believed that those who came to buy food or watch the excitement today were not pure diners, there must have been many spies, and even the shopkeeper Jin was alarmed, let alone other houses.
"It's okay, even if it's the same as before, we won't lose money anyway." Zhao Sheng said, at least they won't let themselves lose money.
"Yes, what's more, we can also develop some new dishes ourselves, so that customers will always get tired of eating a single dish. So don't be discouraged, everyone, come on." Zhong Ziqi clenched her fists to encourage.
"Yes, come on." Zhao Ning also made a fist gesture.
Several people looked at each other and smiled, packed up the shop, closed the door and went home.
