The next day, early in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky was hazy and not yet white, Chen Yifan got up, washed, got dressed, and just opened the door, there was his sister-in-law Zhu Zhu standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile.

"You got up, I thought you were still sleeping."

Chen Yifan stared at his sister-in-law Zhu Zhu, and saw that her face was crimson, and she was embarrassed.

"What? Do I have dirty things on my face? ”

"No, I'm just curious why you got up so early, do you have something to do today?" Chen Yifan asked knowingly.

Sister-in-law Zhu Zhu stroked her hair, glanced at him ambiguously, and said, "It's not for your business, the inn is open today, I won't help you watch it, can you be busy alone?" ”

"Haha, too, too." Chen Yifan smiled to hide his embarrassment, he just wanted to say that it was the same with her or not, since people were so enthusiastic, he couldn't spoil the fun.

"Then let's go."

"Yes."

In the inn, it was busy, Uncle Wu instructed Xiao Er to prepare all kinds of things, wipe the table, set it up, according to a specific location, not mess up, and not fiddle with it casually.

At a glance, it was neat and tidy, the table was ready, and Uncle Wu instructed Xiao Er to continue to wipe the walls and pillars, not to let Xiao Er stop, this Xiao Er was a tenant under the palace, seeing that he was honest, he was invited to be Xiao Er.

"Whole egg, you hurry up and hang it up, and it's about to open, but you can't miss the hour."

"Whole egg, do you see if the couplet is hung up? You can't be wrong. ”

"Whole egg, how do you see the situation outside? More than one person? ”

"Whole eggs, you ......."

The inn is full of the voice of the shopkeeper Uncle Wu, a whole egg, called very smooth, Xiao Er is a whole egg, hard work, without the slightest complaint, the only thing that is dissatisfied is his name, usually I feel nothing, today listening to Uncle Wu shouting, my heart is very awkward.

Everything is ready, in the kitchen, the new chef, after Chen Yifan's training, has very good basic skills, no need to say more, it is easy to understand, although the fried dishes, although they are not up to Chen Yifan's level, they are better than most chefs in Luodu.

The flames rose and began a series of preparatory actions, and what were Chen Yifan and Zhu Zhu doing, the two were tidying up their clothes and preparing to open the door, the two nodded, and the door opened.

"Crackling."

The sound of firecrackers bursts, the firelight flickered, and the smoke shrouded, with Chen Yifan's shout, the red cloth covering the plaque was lifted, revealing three big characters on it: "Mingyue Tower." ”

Mingyue Lou is the new name of this inn, as for the original name, Chen Yifan has long been left behind, he went out, let go of his voice, and shouted: "Uncles and uncles, brothers and brothers who have passed by, the shop is open today, everything in the store is 50% off, and all guests who spend more than 20 taels of silver can get a pot of Lingzhou liquor for free." ”

"Of course, the small shop gives more than that, the store adheres to the concept of openness, justice and fairness, and the food follows the standards of deliciousness, health and pure naturalness, and is determined to present you with an unforgettable meal, and contributes a lifetime of energy, the chef in my store has developed more than 20 kinds of new dishes, all of which are dishes that Luo has never had."

"You have a good day today, this is not the end, you want to ask what the biggest discount of the store is, then I want to tell you, in order to build the first inn in Luodu, the first place for talented and beautiful people to gather, specially asked the master to write two couplets, as long as you are talented and pretentious, you can come to the right."

"As long as the son of the first couplet is right, you can eat a meal in our store for free, no matter what dish, as long as you order, our store will deliver it all."

Chen Yifan said so many words in one breath, he didn't have time to choke up his saliva, and everyone below was stunned, and they all looked at him like a goblin, is this still a human?

Twenty kinds of new Cai, all of which have never appeared in Luo, this gimmick alone can attract a lot of tourists.

What made the scholars even happier was that as long as they made the first couplet, they could eat it for free, and there was no limit, that is, they could order the twenty new dishes and try them one by one.

Thinking of this, many scholars began to make a fuss.

"Hurry up."

"Couplet, take it out."

"We're going to eat new dishes, we're going to have couplets."

Looking at the surging crowd of scholars and people, Chen Yifan waved his hand, and his sister-in-law Zhu Zhu pulled down the upper link, only to see a plaque hanging on the door, which read: "Lonely and cold window empty widow." ”

As soon as the upper link came out, the scholars below shut up one after another and began to think.

"Lonely and cold, empty and widowed."

Seemingly simple couplet, the upper couplet word is embedded with the same side, and the meaning is smooth throughout, if there is no divine pen, just one or two ordinary people can break at will?

Speaking of this couplet, it contains a story, the story is that in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was a Jiangnan woman in China, who was talented and charming, but then because of personnel grievances, she immediately escaped into the empty door, regardless of eroticism. The woman wrote a couplet on the wall outside the temple gate - "Lonely and cold windows are empty and widowed", and frankly said that those who can cope with it will make a physical and mental promise to return to the red dust.

For a while, there was an endless stream of literati and scholars who went to deal with it, but in the end, they all returned in a huff.

After a period of time, no one came out with this couplet, and the woman was naturally heartbroken and became the "Monkey King"

This couplet is one of the absolute pairs in the ages, Chen Yifan took it out, the purpose is very simple, while creating gimmicks, attracting people, and advertising by the way, there is nothing more convenient than this to deliver faster and more crazy in this era.

"I don't know if you are talented and beautiful, can anyone come up with this couplet?"

Chen Yifan stretched out his hands, got out of the way, and looked at the group of scholars below who had just yelled with a smile.

"It's ......."

"Chen Caizi, you are outstanding in writing, can't you make this couplet?"

"Let you laugh, your talent is not enough, not enough to come out."

A son left, and another son came, also standing in front of the couplet, looking at it for a long time, shaking his head and leaving, and an endless stream of talented people came, stood for a while, and left.

And those who eat, entered as usual, because many people gathered here, and there must have been more people who came to eat, and it was full all of a sudden, and the shopkeeper Wu Bo was so smiling that he couldn't see his teeth.

Zhu Zhu's heart, which was still worried, suddenly put it down, looking at Chen Yifan's back, in front of him, there were countless stumped talents, and in an instant, she found that Chen Yifan was so powerful.

"Haven't you come up with this couplet yet? The second couplet of our store, it seems that there is no chance to put it out, so you go back and think slowly, and wait for your answer. ”

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, don't forget to tell you, all the talented people who make the second couplet can not only enjoy all the treatment of the store for free, but also enter the second floor of the store."

"The second floor of our restaurant is a great place to eat, but it is not accessible to ordinary people."

The scholars couldn't get used to Chen Yifan's face, but there was no way, who made them unable to come out of the couplet, and they returned in a huff.

Looking at the backs of their departures, Chen Yifan's smile became even brighter, let you pretend to be forced, now you know how powerful this son is, right? The second couplet, this son doesn't need to take it out, just kill all of you in seconds.

"See? This is the power of this son, you will have to learn in the future. ”

"Well, but do you think these people will come again?" Zhu Zhu couldn't help but worry, today is the first day, so many people, it can be understood, but what about after that?

"You don't need to worry about this at all, they are scholars, but they work very hard, not only will they come today, they will come tomorrow, they will come the day after tomorrow, as long as they can't come out of this couplet, they won't not come."

"Why is that?" Zhu Zhu was puzzled and looked at Chen Yifan suspiciously.

"This is called marketing, using their curiosity to create publicity, I think after today, the sound of our Mingyue Tower is being discussed in Luodu City, are you afraid that no one will come?"

"Marketing? What a strange name, but are those people as obedient as you say? ”

Chen Yifan smiled triumphantly and mysteriously, and looked back at his sister-in-law, who was startled by his sudden smile and took two steps back.

"Hehe, you underestimate them too much, these scholars, there is no other use, the spirit of not admitting defeat is still very strong, as long as they can't get an answer, they will definitely look for people everywhere, one can't work, two, three, and then thousands, when the time comes, you say that the business of our inn is not booming."

Hearing Chen Yifan's words, Zhu Zhu's eyes turned, a flash of inspiration, and his eyes looked at Chen Yifan brightly, and his eyes became strange.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll be scared, oh yes, remember to go out for a walk and get a message later." Chen Yifan felt that the matter was not big enough and smiled.

"What's the news?"

Chen Yifan hooked his finger at her, and in disbelief, Zhu Zhu approached, Chen Yifan said a few words in her ear, and suddenly Zhu Zhu's face changed rapidly, and it could be made into an emoji.

After finishing speaking, Chen Yifan patted her on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Remember, whether you can get rich or not depends on you." ”

"But isn't this too lacking in virtue?"

"What is the lack of morality, this is called marketing, do you understand marketing?"

Zhu Zhu shook his head and looked at Chen Yifan in a demented manner, Chen Yifan took a deep breath and asked, "Then do you want to get rich?" ”

"Yes, but ......."

Chen Yifan raised his hand to stop her from continuing, and said seriously: "If you want to get rich, you have to do what I say, you remember, now I am in power, and you are not qualified to refuse." ”

"Oh." Zhu Zhu bowed his head, looking indescribably lonely.

"Okay, Zhu Zhu, after this time, we don't have to eat fast, think about big fish and big meat, are you happy?" Chen Yifan suddenly lowered his head and said gently.

"Yes."

"Then don't hurry up."

"Yes."
