23. Opening ceremony

Two days later in the morning.

Since the opening of the advertising board hung out, the news of the opening of Nangong Wan Malatang Hall has spread far and wide, and there are more children with "small advertisements" running around the street to distribute leaflets, so the young ladies who live in seclusion all the year round know, the girls in the Qinglou who serve the men all the year round know, and even the nurses who have never been on the street in their lives also know, it can be said that the people of Xunyang Town want to know everything, and most of the people who don't want to know have heard of it.

If it weren't for a square fence surrounded by red ropes, the people would have rushed into the store, and the aroma of soup wafting out of the store was too tempting!

The red carpet spreads all over the floor in front of the store, eight red lanterns are hung high upstairs and downstairs, and a big red flower hijab is waiting to be unveiled on the gilded signboard.

"Mother Wang, I heard that there will be a lottery, is it really fake?"

"Of course it's true! I heard that the highest prize is two taels of silver and silver, what a big deal! ”

"yes, let's not talk about it, look... Miss Nangong is here. ”

Everyone made way and let Nangong Wan and her party enter the fence, and Tang Jin followed Nangong Wan and whispered something to her from time to time. This small action naturally aroused suspicion.

"What do you say about the relationship between Ding Tang Jin, the family of Nangong Mansion, and Miss Nangong?"

"What's the matter, the toad wants to eat Tian'er meat, and a poor man who is lustful and gallant wants to tie up his master!"

"But Miss Nangong seems to have a different attitude towards him and other family members."

"Hey, who knows, where do we understand the world of the rich?"

"That's just as well"

At this time, someone suddenly spoke, and I saw a family member standing in front of Nangong Wan, standing in the center of the fence and pressing his hands flat and saying to everyone: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please be quiet!" ”

A little girl in the crowd took her mother's hand and said, "That's my brother, my brother is going to speak!" ”

"Bang!"

Seeing that the family was still noisy below, the gong in the hand of another family member was ringing loudly, and the sound was deafening, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and the few people who were still talking found that there was silence everywhere and immediately shut up.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, please be quiet and listen to me, my name is Tang Jin, and I am the host of today's opening ceremony."

The people below were all shocked, I thought that today's host was afraid that it would be the Jiang manager of Nangong Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be an ordinary family, how can a small family member be able to take on the responsibility of hosting? Won't mess up, right?

"In another hour, Nangong Wan Malatang Hall will be officially opened, I will first talk about the agenda of the opening ceremony, first of all, the ribbon cutting and unveiling, then the boss's speech, lucky draws, talent show, and then free tasting!"

"Okay, let's invite Master Nangong, Wang Dashanren, Nangong Xun, and Nangong Wan to cut the ribbon of the new store with warm applause!"

After speaking, Tang Jin was the first to applaud, and the onlookers also applauded, but why didn't they see Wang Dashan and Master Nangong?

At this moment, Fan Lin suddenly said in Tang Jin's ear: "Wang Dashan said that something can't come, and Master Nangong hasn't seen anyone yet." ”

"What?"

Tang Jin was a little surprised, didn't Wang Dashan and Master Nangong all realize what they said? How could it be so coincidental?

"Miss, young master, where is Master Nangong?" Tang Jin took a few steps and asked Nangong Xun and Nangong Wan, brothers and sisters who were smiling on the stage.

"Daddy didn't come?" Nangong Wan's brothers and sisters were also a little surprised.

"Well, Wang Dashan didn't say that he couldn't come because of something, and Master Nangong probably couldn't leave because of something. But what I said just now has been spoken, so I have to ask Miss Young Master to cut the ribbon first. Tang Jin said.

Nangong Wan nodded suspiciously, and had no choice but to do so.

Chrysanthemum held a plate with four copper scissors and walked towards the Nangong Wan brothers and sisters. Nangong Wan and Nangong Xun took down a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon.

After cutting four red ropes, the brother and sister unveiled the storefront sign hanging on the lintel, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed. However, Wang Dashan and Master Nangong did not come, which caused everyone's discussion.

Immediately, Fan Lin and Tang Yong used bamboo poles to pick up a long firecracker that was dragged to the ground and put it on the second floor.

After the sound of firecrackers, Tang Jin walked to the crowd again and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Okay, let's invite our boss Nangong Wan to speak, everyone applauds!" Tang Jin said.

Immediately, Nangong Wan appeared again in everyone's applause.

Although most of the women in ancient times stayed in the boudoir and rarely showed their heads, the women in the Song Dynasty were quite open. However, Nangong Wan still wore a black veil as always.

"I don't have much to say, let's start the raffle." Nangong said gently.

Tang Jin nodded, it seems that Nangong Wan doesn't want to say anything, so let's watch him perform next.

"Alright, let's start the much-anticipated raffle, and when we go downstairs, five hundred envelopes will be thrown down, and one hundred of them will have prizes in them. Remember, a person can only take one envelope, and more doesn't count! Also, don't snatch the envelope from someone else's hand or it will be invalid! ”

After Tang Jin finished speaking, everyone looked upstairs. At this time, upstairs, Fan Lin, Tang Yong, and Chrysanthemum were carrying a small basket, and the basket was full of envelopes.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Tang Jin started, the three people upstairs began to throw envelopes, and suddenly the envelopes floated down from the railing upstairs like snowflakes, and the people downstairs suddenly made a mess and grabbed them like crazy. Men squeeze women, old men squeeze children, women squeeze old women, strong men squeeze scholars......

"Mine, this is the first thing I grabbed first!"

"Ouch, you fucking stepped on my hand!"

"Haha, I got it!"

"Ouch, which disciple touched my ass!"

"Grandma's didn't grab it again!"

……

There were only 500 envelopes in total, and there must have been at least a thousand people downstairs at this time, so it was fortunate that there was no stampede.

In less than a cup of tea, all 500 envelopes were snatched up, and most of the people who grabbed the envelopes were shaking their hands and were opening them, which was really exciting! They have never experienced the excitement of a lottery.

"Haha, I won the lottery! One or two of Wenyin! ”

"Damn, 'thank you', thank you, mother!"

"A meal ticket? Who can tell me what it means to have a meal roll? ”

"Haha, I won the first prize!"

"Grandma's, I didn't hit!"

"Haha, taste it for free, and the highest consumption is one or two!"

……

Those who grabbed the envelope couldn't wait to open the envelope to see if they had won the lottery.

"Alright, winners, please line up to claim the prize!" Tang Jin shouted, and the hundreds of people who won the lottery lined up obediently, and they were so excited. Some people won two taels of silver, but his income as a farmer for more than half a year can't be compared, can you not be excited?

This time, in order to build momentum, the lottery and free tasting alone cost fifty taels of silver, but Nangong Wan and Tang Jin both felt that it was worth it.

Of course, there are also many people who question and oppose, such as Fan Lin and Tang Yong. It's just that it's not their turn to call the shots.

Seeing that the winners really received the silver, those who did not win the lottery were shocked and envious, and those who felt unreal at first also believed in Nangong Wandian's extraordinary handwriting.

But at this moment, suddenly someone rode over to beat gongs and drums, causing the villagers to look back. Someone recognized that it was Steward Wu beside Nangong Wang who was sitting on the tall horse.

"Folks, I am the Wu Administrator of Nangong Mansion. Our young master of the Nangong family will draw a lottery in front of Xunyang Restaurant to thank the villagers who have patronized Xunyang Restaurant for so many years. The first prize is three taels of Wenyin, the second prize is two taels of Wenyin, the third prize is one or two of Wenyin, and the fourth prize is a special dish of Xunyang Building! Go quickly, it's too late, it's gone! ”

As soon as these words came out, the people were beaten one by one, what day is today? Why did the third lady of the Nangong family just finish the lottery, and the eldest young master of Nangong Mansion started the lottery again, is this the rhythm of the ring? No matter what, the people are happy!

"Haha, God must feel that I didn't win the lottery just now and give me another chance, let's go, everyone follow me to the Xunyang Restaurant lottery!"

"Oh! Go to Xunyang Restaurant for a lottery! ”

"But there's a talent show here!"

"There's a raffle to see a fart show! If you want to see it, you stay and watch it slowly, I'm going to get rich in the lottery! ”

"Hey... I wish my brother to wait for me, and I will go too! ”

……

As soon as Steward Wu made it like this, except for the dozens of people who were still queuing up to receive the prize, the other thousands of people almost ran out, and they were all vigorous and afraid that they would be late and didn't grab the lottery envelope. How deserted.

"Hey, don't go!" Fan Lin screamed bitterly upstairs.

"Stop shouting, let them go!" Tang Jin said coldly.

Looking at the crowd that quickly dispersed, Tang Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that he was really too careless, he really underestimated that Nangong Wang!

Hehe, do you give back to him in his own way?
