Chapter 40: The Auditorium
The power of the masses of the people is indeed unparalleled, and the speed of public opinion is comparable to the speed of light. Only one night has passed, and the story of Ruoshui's "Jiao Niang" dim sum has spread almost all over Shonan County.
In order to catch up early in the morning, Ruoshui and they went out before dawn, and the business of the morning market had already greeted the stall next door, and it was closed today. When they arrived at Huadianfang, the door was already dark and full of people, so shocked that they didn't even dare to go to the main gate, so they could only go around to the back door before entering.
There was only Bai Sulian in the workshop, she was already dressed properly at this time, and she was in a hurry to move around in the lobby, and finally looked forward to Ruoshui and they came, so she hurriedly greeted her.
"Girl, you're here, there are already so many people outside the door. Obviously, the notice posted on the auction will start at the end of the year, why are all the people here at this time? Are we going to open this door or not? β
"There are so many people, not all of them come to the auction, in fact, most of them are there to see the excitement. But the door is naturally going to open, and the excitement can't be seen in vain, since you have come to the dim sum shop, you can't go empty-handed, right? Did my sister make some snacks last night? It's always supposed to be sold today, right? β
"Yes, yes! I can't sleep, I have nothing to do......"
Bai Sulian's hands were tightly twisted together, looking a little cramped, while Ruoshui showed an understanding smile. Last night, she didn't sleep well~ I'm afraid everyone present is open until dawn~
He took a few steps forward, pretending to be listening to what was happening outside the door. Ruoshui took a deep breath, shook off his cuffs, covered his fingers that were clenched white from nervousness, and tried to adjust his expression to the most confident and relaxed, before turning around.
Looking at the extremely flustered looks of the two large and one small behind him, Ruoshui suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. She quickly suppressed the tension in her heart and announced it loudly to them.
"Open the doorβ"
"Hey!"
The three of them happily answered, and after dividing the deadbolt by two, they removed the deadbolt and opened the door.
The crowd poured in in an instant, squeezing the tall and strong people who were still holding on to the door frame, and almost fell to the ground. Only if Ruoshui had expected this situation and had already hid behind the counter one step earlier, he was not overwhelmed by the crowd.
The first to rush into the store was a young man, who was squeezed by the people behind him, and the whole person was tightly attached to the counter and could not move, but could only desperately turn his neck and look around, clearly to see the excitement.
"What do you need, this guest officer?"
But Wakamizu pretended to be doing business as usual, and asked the "customer" who was forced to "come together" in front of her face.
"I'll see, see ......"
The other party replied absentmindedly.
"Guest, our snacks are all on the counter ~ There is no ceiling or staircase~"
Facing the person standing in the pit and not humming, Ruoshui quickly threw out a nail that was neither soft nor hard.
"Ah~ I'm not here to buy snacks, little lady, where is your auction going to be?"
"The auction will be held in the flower hall, this guest officer, if you don't buy dim sum, can you let it, the guests in the back will buy it."
With a professional and friendly smile on her face, Ruoshui was not annoyed, and threw the contradiction between her and the customer to the person in the back.
"That's it, if you don't pay for it, don't stop me from buying things."
The one in the back was a slightly sturdy man, and when he heard Ruoshui's words, he immediately came to his senses, and pushed and shoved the person in front of him to the side.
"I'm here to buy snacks."
With a flattering smile on his face, the strong man lowered his head and pretended to be selecting, but the corners of his eyes kept glancing around, and of course his mouth was not idle, while asking Ruoshui about the auction.
Since everyone said that they were here to buy snacks, they naturally couldn't rush away. In the face of the other party's questions, if Shui has any questions, she will answer them, and when it comes to information that cannot be disclosed in advance, she also avoids the important and brings it lightly.
But the voices in the store were too noisy, and Ruoshui deliberately lowered her voice a little, so her answer could only be heard by the person who asked, and the people behind could only listen to it in a vague way.
In this way, how can the people in the back bear it, and when they come in, they are only short of front and back, why can you ask, I can only be squeezed and covered with stinky sweat but I can't hear anything.
"Didn't you buy something? What are you asking? If you don't buy it, hurry up and make a room! β
The people in the back erupted in strong dissatisfaction, and the voice of the one who was originally the first but was squeezed to the back was the most high-pitched.
"I buy, I buy, how much does this cost?"
The man casually asked, pointing to a plain-style round snack.
"Five Texts and One ......"
At this time, Bai Sulian had already gone back to the front hall from the back door, and of course she knew the price of dim sum in the store much better than Ruoshui, and when she heard someone ask for the price, she naturally answered. But he didn't expect that before the words were finished, Ruoshui snatched the conversation back again.
"Five Wen one."
Bai Sulian's eyes immediately widened when she heard this.
This kind of ordinary dim sum is all over the street, and the original price is five cents a catty, if the water is simply a lion's mouth~
Sure enough, the customer was not stupid and was not happy immediately.
"I said how can you ask for a sky-high price......"
ββ¦β¦ Purchase 10 or more, and get a green cushion included. β
Without waiting for the customer to fully vent his dissatisfaction, Ruoshui pulled out a fluttering round origami from the drawer under him and slapped it on the counter.
"Cushions? That's it? What for? β
Not only the dumbfounded customer, but even the tall Zhuang and Xiao Yong, who were still standing at the door trying to maintain order, were also confused.
Yesterday afternoon, Ruoshui asked the two of them to run a paper spot, bought a lot of colorful paper and came back, folded into this weird-looking circle, and didn't say what it was for, but I didn't expect it to be a cushion? Isn't it too hasty to say that this kind of thin thing is a cushion......
"See those green dots?"
Standing on tiptoe, following the direction the water was pointing, the man stretched out his head to look.
It was a separate area marked by a simple railing, covered with rows of dots, green, black, and red. Among them, the green one is in the innermost part, followed by black, and the red is in the outermost area, and the field of vision is also the widest.
"This mat is placed on those points, and those who have a cushion are equivalent to having a ticket to the audience of the auction, and even if they don't participate in the auction, they can watch the whole thing. In addition, I would like to tell you that the price of the auction seats starts at ten taels of silver, and if you just want to see the excitement, these cushions are enough. β
