Li Zexuan was woken up early the next morning. Xiao Xi said that the children yesterday were already waiting in the front yard.
Li Zexuan was sleepy. When he heard this, he waved his hand and said vaguely: "Xiao Xi, let them practice first. Master, I will sleep for a while!"
After saying that, he fell directly on the bed, with the word "big" placed on his face without any image, oh, no, it should be the word "太".
Xiao Xi caught a glimpse of the tall tent below the young master, and quickly ran out with a blushing face, thinking to herself, the young master is such a gangster!
…
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Zexuan had breakfast and came to the front yard. He saw eight little guys making trouble in the front yard.
Today their queue is obviously more orderly than yesterday's, they cooperate with each other more tacitly, and the distance between two people is smaller than yesterday. Li Zexuan found it quite interesting to watch from the side.
He looked up and saw that it was almost time. Li Zexuan walked over and interrupted:
"Okay, everyone, stop. It's almost time. Xiao Xi, you go to the kitchen to get some pastries. You guys can eat some to fill your stomachs. We don't have time to eat at noon. After we finish eating, we will go to Dongshi."
The children were a little surprised. They didn't expect that in addition to their wages, they would also receive rewards and take care of food. After thanking Li Zexuan, they quickly went to wash their hands and eat cakes.
After watching them eat the pastries, Li Zexuan waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go."
Then, like a child king, he rushed towards Dongshi with eight children on scooters. As for Wang Zhong, he had already gone to the store to prepare for the opening.
This weird team attracted everyone’s attention along the way. People in the Tang Dynasty had never seen such a strange car. Pedestrians gave way one after another, standing on the roadside pointing at the scooter under the children's feet and talking about it.
But this is a hardship for pedestrians with children around them. Children are very playful. Seeing such novel toys and seeing other children having so much fun, they don’t. How can they hold back? , immediately turn on the coquettish mode.
"Grandma, I want that car too. Grandma, hurry up and buy it for me."
"Dad, Meng'er wants the car that those little brothers and sisters play with. Can Daddy also buy one for Meng'er?"
These two are of the moderate negotiation type. Of course there are even better ones.
"Dad, if you don't buy me that car, I won't get up today!" A certain naughty child just lay on the ground and rolled around, acting like a fool.
The man next to him was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted angrily: "You little bastard, if you don't get up, I'll beat you to death!"
"I won't get up even if you beat me to death!"
…
Several parents looked at each other and could only compromise, but where could they buy such a car for their children.
"My dear friend, do you know where I can buy this car?"
"I don't know. It's my first time seeing you today. How about we follow up and have a look?"
"Brother, what you said makes sense!"
…
In this way, without advertising, the scooter had its first batch of followers, and the queue behind Li Zexuan became longer and longer.
Entering Dongshi, the flow of people became denser, and there were more onlookers. Naturally, the team following him was also longer. Li Zexuan was also happy for them to follow. The free publicity should not be wasted!
After leading the team to the entrance of Qiquge Pavilion, Li Zexuan discovered that Yan Shaoning had already arrived and was instructing people to lay out red carpets and hang red ribbons around the store. The entire Qiquge Pavilion is a prosperous and joyful scene.
Li Zexuan greeted him and saw a plaque covered with red cloth hanging directly above the store door. Li Zexuan looked for Wang Zhong curiously and asked:
"Uncle Wang, where did this plaque come from?"
"Master, a group of people just sent this over. They said it was custom-made by a man named Gao Ming."
"oh…"
Li Zexuan patted his head. He had been busy preparing for the opening these two days and almost forgot to make the plaque. Fortunately, Li Chengqian was relatively reliable and he had not forgotten the plaque he had asked him to make last time.
Li Zexuan patted Wang Zhong on the shoulder and whispered: "Uncle Wang, this plaque was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince and Princess Changle will be coming soon, so don't be too surprised."
From now on, Wang Zhong and Li Chengqian would inevitably come into contact many times, so Li Zexuan wanted to tell Wang Zhong early to prevent him from accidentally offending Li Chengqian.
"Ah, Master, this...this..."
Wang Zhong's eyes widened in shock and he took two steps back, in disbelief.
Li Zexuan comforted him: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, the prince has a good temper!"
…
Li Zexuan was about to go out and let a few children start their skateboarding performance. At this moment, he saw Li Chengqian, Princess Changle and Cheng Chumo coming together. Li Zexuan hurriedly greeted him.
"Gao Ming, sister Changle, brother Chou Niu, you are here."
Li Chengqian nodded in greeting, and Changle smiled sweetly:
"Brother Xiaoxuan, this shop has Changle's 10% dry stock. Of course Changle must come and take a look. Changle also wants to thank Brother Xiaoxuan for the 10% dry stock. This is the first time Changle has opened a store!"
For this little princess with bright eyes and white teeth, Li Zexuan also loved her from the bottom of his heart. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "As long as the princess likes her, you don't have to be polite."
Cheng Chumo stepped forward and laughed loudly: "Haha, I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiaoxuan, you actually opened your own store. As a brother, of course I want to come and congratulate you, haha!"
"Thank you, Brother Chou Niu, for supporting me. Please follow me and come into the store and sit down for a while."
…
After asking Wang Zhong to wait on these three people, Li Zexuan came outside the store again and said to several children:
"Xiaohang, you lead them to start the skateboarding queue performance, just stay around here, don't run too far, everyone pay attention to safety, especially Lan'er, do you hear me?"
"Yes, Master." Xiaohang agreed quickly.
Finally able to hang out with her friends, Lan'er said very excitedly: "I know, brother, Lan'er will be very careful."
The three Changle people also followed out at this time. Changle looked at these children, riding on strange cars, lining up in neat queues, parading around Qiqi Pavilion, and couldn't help but curiously said:
"Brother Xiaoxuan, what is the name of this thing? Will our Qiquge sell this in the future?"
"This thing is called a scooter. It's just a first-generation product. An upgraded version will be launched soon. Of course, Qiquge will not only sell scooters in the future, but also all kinds of novelty things. If the princess likes it, I can give you one later. .”
Chang Le said happily: "Thank you, Brother Xiaoxuan!"
At this time, Wang Zhong stepped forward and reminded: "Master, the auspicious time has come. Should we unveil the plaque now?"
Seeing that there were already a lot of people around, many of them were parents dragged over by their naughty children. The naughty children were looking at Lan'er and the others who were performing skateboarding with envy. Li Zexuan felt that the time was almost up, so he clicked. Nodding, he looked at Li Chengqian and said:
"Since Gao Ming purchased this plaque, let Gao Ming unveil it!"
Li Chengqian didn't refuse, he took the bamboo stick handed over by Wang Zhong with a smile, picked it up hard, and pulled off the red cloth on the plaque, which meant that Qiqi Pavilion was finally officially opened at this moment.
You can see three vigorous and vivid gold characters "Qiquge" in regular script in the center of the plaque. Li Zexuan was shocked when he saw the graceful lines of those three characters, as vivid and lively as if they were alive. He looked at Li Chengqian and couldn't help but ask:
"Gao Ming, which famous artist wrote these three words?"
Li Chengqian said proudly: "Hey, this is the inscription that I finally got Dr. Chu, the admonishing doctor, to inscribe. Brother Zexuan, you have to thank me."
Li Zexuan was shocked to find that it was Chu Suiliang. He was one of the four great calligraphers of the early Tang Dynasty, along with Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, and Xue Ji. This plaque could become a family heirloom in the future.
Li Zexuan also heard a story related to Chu Suiliang. It is said that the idiom "little bird relies on people" originated from Chu Suiliang. Historical records record that when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty once discussed the ministers in the court, he said this to the ministers: Chu Suiliang: Chu Suiliang had a little more knowledge and a strong and upright nature. He wrote about loyalty and attached himself to the couplet, just like a bird that clings to someone and shows love to him.
It is estimated that many people would not have thought that Xiaoniaoyiren was originally used on a very staunch and direct minister.
Li Zexuan recovered from the shock and said: "I have to thank Gao Ming. It's rare to see Dr. Chu's handwriting! Well, now the Qiquge Pavilion is finally officially opened."
"Hey, shopkeeper, does your store sell this car?"
The crowd around me watched the skateboarding performance for so long, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you ask me? My naughty kid has been making a lot of noise." As soon as he finished asking, a group of people immediately followed him.
"Yes, shopkeeper, do you want to sell this?"
"How much? Come up with a price quickly, we are in a hurry!"
"Yes, yes, how much does it cost? I want to buy one."
…
Li Zexuan stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Dear friends, of course this scooter is for sale. Our store opens today, and all scooters are discounted at 10% off. The original price of the scooter is 400 renminbi, but today it is only 360 renminbi, and comes with a white membership card. , you can enjoy a 50% discount by using this card to purchase goods in our store in the future.”
The cost of a scooter is about 200 Wen, and Li Zexuan doesn't want to sell it too expensively. It's almost 400 Wen, so it's just a gift for the children of Tang Dynasty.
After hearing the quotation, everyone was talking about it.
"Three hundred and sixty cents? So expensive? Xiaohu, let's not buy it. Dad will make one for you when he goes back."
"No, I want to buy this!"
"Mom, I want to buy it too!"
Li Zexuan added at this time: "If you want to buy something, hurry up and line up. Our store only has 300 scooters today. It's first come, first served. If you want to buy something, hurry up!"
Now everyone had no chance to hesitate and joined the team one after another. Although three hundred and sixty coins was a little expensive, most people could still afford it. If they didn't buy it today, their children would be annoyed to death when they went back.
Li Zexuan saw that the scene was starting to get heated, so he beckoned Xiaohang over: "Xiaohang, you take them and ride the scooter around the entire Dongshi. You must pay attention to safety, you know?"
The store no longer needs to advertise, so Li Zexuan asked Xiaohang and the others to go to Dongshi to attract more people.
"Yes, Master." Xiaohang agreed, then led two skateboard teams and rushed into Dongshi.
