Chapter 159: Opening Rewards
Old man Shen and Shen Musheng stood in the crowd, the former's palms were about to be smashed, and he couldn't wait to show off with the people next to him that the person who pulled the red cloth together was his granddaughter.
But Old Man Shen's skin is not as thick as Wan's, and he is a little excited at this time, if he changes to Wan's, it is estimated that his face will already be smiling, and the people around him will already know her relationship with Shen Shuang.
Jiang Zipei was originally very handsome, and many girls in this crowd had already secretly agreed when they saw him, and they were even more face-saving when they saw him talking.
"Thank you for coming to our Yunlai Building, today, Yunlai Lou is open again, for the opening of the big reward activities, all the guests who come to Yunlai Lou to dine will be given a small snack, and the meal reaches a certain amount to send our exclusive dessert tree bird's nest in Yunlai Lou, and the guests will be discounted by 20% for their meals."
After Jiang Zipei finished speaking, the shopkeeper came out to support the scene, it was the first time he had seen so many people to open a restaurant, the largest restaurant in the capital was not so decent at the beginning, and the shopkeeper was very excited.
A guest asked, "Shopkeeper, what did Jiang Gongzi mean by the eight-percent discount just now?" ”
The shopkeeper is the cashier, and he also thinks that this preferential method is very good, so he hurriedly answered the guest's questions, "The so-called eight-fold means that if the guest spends ten taels of silver in our Yunlai Building, after the eight-fold discount, he only needs to give eight taels of silver." ”
Some onlookers asked, "That's a discount of two taels of silver, but what does that mean?" ”
"Exactly. And we Yunlailou will engage in this activity for three consecutive days, now, firecrackers, guests please come into our Yunlailou to drink tea and eat snacks, we Yunlailou invited a female storyteller, to tell you a story, to ensure that the guests feel at home. ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, the onlookers immediately discussed lively, "Yo, is there a storyteller in Yunlailou, or is it a woman?" ”
"What? It's the first time I've heard of a woman being a storyteller. ”
A woman standing in the crowd heard the words of the two men and couldn't help but speak, "The two eldest brothers are so bad, why can't a woman be a storyteller?" Our national style is open, and the queen encourages women to go out of the house more, encourages women to read and write, and there are female officials in the palace. ”
Shen Shuang just heard the woman's words, and couldn't help but glance at her more, looking at her bearing and dress, and a maid by her side, her status should not be low, maybe she is either an official woman or a businesswoman.
Shen Shuang didn't expect such an open-minded person to exist, and she was worried that her identity as a female storyteller would not be accepted at first, but now she can feel much more at ease.
The guests who were watching at the door walked into more than half of Yunlai Building, and of course the remaining half were just coming here to watch the excitement.
Seeing that so many people were just watching instead of going in to eat, the shopkeeper of Manfulou opposite was relieved, thinking that it should be Yunlailou's propaganda that was done well, so many people would come over to see the excitement.
"Shopkeeper, do we need to go over and inquire?"
Hearing Xiao Er's words, the shopkeeper of Manfulou glanced at him lightly, "These people are just watching the excitement, and when the time comes, they find that there are no dishes that can be put on the table on the other side, and the story told by the storyteller of Nalao Shizi has not been heard, it is estimated that it will not last long, look at what to see, and soon it will be at lunch, I think you are trying to be lazy, hurry up and wait to receive guests, maybe there will be another caravan coming." ”
Xiao Er pursed his lips, but when he heard that it was so lively over there, he couldn't help but stretch his neck to see what the situation was.
Cloud to the inside of the building.
People who walked into Yunlai Building were fascinated by the decoration of the building, not only the turntable on the round table, but also the tablecloths, window grilles, murals, etc., which were very eye-catching, attracting the praise of the guests.
"I've never seen such a beautiful restaurant."
"It's not, I've been going south and north for so many years, that is, when I was in the capital, the decoration of the restaurant I saw was better, but this looks at Yunlai Tower, the largest restaurant in the capital, it's almost not as good as here, and it looks very comfortable."
"I heard that this cloud has been decorating this building for a long time, and it must have been a lot of waste."
Of course, there are praises and doubts, Jiang Zipei, Jiang Zitong and Shen Shuang stood on the second floor, and they heard that some guests were very puzzled.
"What's the use of a good-looking restaurant? The key is that the taste of the dish is good, I have tasted the dishes of this Yunlailou before, to be honest, it is not as good as the Manfu Building opposite, the chef of the people is really powerful, and I don't know how the dishes of this Yunlailou are. ”
Because the menu that Shen Shuang asked Jiang Zipei to formulate before was specially for the guests in the box on the second floor, the guests sitting in the lobby on the first floor could not see those menus.
Fortunately, Chef Song and Chef Tang also expected a considerable number of people, as soon as the door opened, the back kitchen had already turned on the fire to stir-fry, and not long after ordering, the dishes also came up.
After the improved cooking skills, it naturally attracted a full house, and there were many guests, although it was a little messy at first, but it was soon on the right track, Shen Shuang walked into the small curtain specially prepared for her under the expectation of Jiang Zipei and Jiang Zitong, and walked to the storytelling stage on the first floor, and the shopkeeper naturally said the opening remarks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please look here, today, our storyteller is Miss Shen, today, she is going to tell the guests the story of Hua Mulan joining the army for her father, I hope you can like it."
The originally lively restaurant, when I heard the shopkeeper's words, it slowly quieted down.
Shen Shuang was a little nervous, although she was not an actor, but she participated in many dramas back then, and she had learned countless literary works.
Although the people in the curtain could not be seen under the stage, Old Man Shen and Shen Musheng, who were sitting in the box on the second floor with Jiang Zipei and Jiang Zitong, could see it at this moment.
Old man Shen didn't know that Shen Shuang was going to speak on stage, so he hurriedly pulled his son, "Boss, what's going on?" Why did Xiaoshuang go on stage to tell stories and tell stories? ”
Shen Musheng was also confused, although Shen Shuang seemed to have mentioned such a thing to him before, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, and he was also puzzled at this time, "Dad, this Xiaoshuang didn't tell me, and I don't know very well." ”
Jiang Zitong on the side hurriedly spoke, "Grandpa Shen, Uncle Shen, Sister Shen, she knows how to tell a story, she speaks very well, even better than what I listened to when I was in the capital." The two elders, please rest assured, Sister Shen is sitting in the curtain, which is not a show of her face. ”
Shen Musheng was puzzled, but when he heard Jiang Zitong's explanation, he naturally couldn't say anything.
And the old man Shen wanted to ask his granddaughter to tell a story on stage, so many people listened, did he have to have a lot of silver, he had seen the entertainers passing by the town on the street before, whether it was performing juggling, performing chest stones, the onlookers had to give copper coins, and they didn't know what the rules of the restaurant were.
I heard that there is a woman who wants to tell a story in Yunlailou, this news spread ten, ten to hundred, and soon the town will be boiling, coupled with Yunlailou's 20% discount opening activities, many people are admired, even some guests who live in Manfulou Inn, do not care about having lunch in Manfulou, and rush to the opposite Yunlailou to see the excitement.
Under everyone's expectations, Shen Shuang began to speak.
"It is said that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a girl named Mulan......"
Shen Shuang's voice is actually very good, plus she controls her voice very well, and the tone is frustrated, and the guests who were impatient to wait for the food to be served forget that they are waiting for the meal, instead of listening to the story.
Shen Shuang embellished the story of Mulan's military service and appropriately deleted some plots, but slowly, there was still a lot of content, not just the plot in Mulan's words.
Many people listened to the gods, and they didn't even bother to eat the dishes on the table.
Although Jiang Zitong had heard Mulan's story, he didn't feel tired of listening to it, and at the same time paid attention to the reactions of the guests in the restaurant, "Seventh brother, look, everyone is listening to Sister Shen's story, they are so serious, no one is talking." ”
Jiang Zipei was also a little excited, he naturally saw it, to say that in the restaurant before, even if there was a storyteller, not everyone was willing to listen to the story.
Some of the stories are not attractive enough, or the bookkeeper is boring and the tone is flat, but Shen Shuang is not, the stories she tells are moving, and the tone and volume when she says the book are properly controlled, which has a kind of fascinating charm.
Shen Shuang said, in fact, she was still interacting with the audience, instead of talking all the time, otherwise she would be exhausted.
When Shen Shuang talked about a certain plot, he asked, "Guess what, why was Mulan able to hide in the army for many years without being able to see through her daughter's body?" ”
While the audience was eating, they all felt that the food was a lot more fragrant, and suddenly when they heard the questions raised, everyone began to discuss.
"yes, why? Could it be that Mulan looks like a man? ”
"No, no, maybe the general knows Mulan and wants to help her."
"It must be that Mulan has the ability, knows martial arts, and is a good person, so everyone didn't doubt her."
Shen Shuang naturally wouldn't give them these answers, but just took this opportunity to drink water and rest.
In the process of her storytelling, Yunlailou was already full, and even the box on the second floor was full of people, and there were many people who planned to go to Manfulou to eat.
Seeing that it was noon, there were few people eating in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper of Manfulou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "What the hell is going on?" Why are there so many guests on the opposite side of Yunlailou? Xiao Er, quickly find someone to find out what the situation is for me, how can this be reasonable, even robbed the guests to grab our Manfu Lou, I think they came to the building to go out of business tomorrow. ”
Originally, he didn't take Yunlailou to heart, but in just an hour, the shopkeeper of Manfulou knew that he might be wrong, and it was a big mistake.
As for the little second brother in Man Fu Lou, he was afraid that the people in Yunlai Lou opposite would recognize him, so he naturally didn't dare to go rashly, so he had to find a new helper and let him investigate the situation.
But not long after the little helper walked out, he ran back sweating profusely, "Brother Wang, Brother Wang." ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was not in front, he sat down and ate melon seeds and was lazy, and when he heard the little helper hurriedly running back, he reached out and patted him on the head, and said angrily, "Didn't you let you inquire?" What are you doing here? ”
