Chapter 5 Winding paths lead to seclusion
Zhouji Teahouse was renamed Qi Wuju, and on an ordinary day, no one paid attention to it, and opened in a low-key manner.
On the day of the opening of Qi Wuju, a painting hung on the street of Dongshi, the most prosperous street in Puhe County.
In the painting is a bright and moving woman with ice muscles and jade bones, but the lower body has a long fish tail, and the blue fish scales are shining with sparkling light, which is very beautiful and very weird. The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she fell in strings, and all who fell turned into blue pearls.
The crowd of onlookers was confused, not knowing who made the painting, why it was hanging here, and not understanding the meaning of the painting.
Among them, a scholar dressed as a scholar suddenly said: "Could this be the legendary merman?" ”
"Sharks?" People looked at the scholar in anticipation of his explanation.
The scholar was in the spotlight of everyone, a little shy, lowered his head slightly and whispered: "According to ancient books, there are sharks outside the South China Sea, with a human body and a fish tail, and the water dwells like a fish. ”
As soon as the scholar's words fell, the crowd instantly burst into an uproar, and they began to discuss it.
"Can tears turn into pearls? Wouldn't there be no money to spend, just cry once? Ha ha! ”
"Hey, you say, this can become the tears of pearls, whether it is happy or sad?"
"Be sad, why do you want to cry when you're happy!"
"I don't think so, you look at that painting, the corners of her lips are slightly raised, she should be crying with joy!"
"No, no, her eyes are complaining, obviously caused by sadness!"
There was a lively discussion about whether the merman in the painting cried with joy or with sadness.
An old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Everyone, why argue, why go to the front and see the content of the next painting." ”
"There's a painting in front? Let's go, let's see! ”
The crowd was so enthusiastic that some of the people who came after were squeezed into the outermost circle, and they didn't know what was going on, and they moved forward with the crowd in order to join in the fun.
Sure enough, within 100 meters, another painting hung on the side of the street.
The content of this painting is that the beautiful merman sitting on the reef and singing, her figure shrouded in the bright moonlight, like a dream. In the distance, a fishing boat was approaching.
Another exclamation came from the crowd: "It's not good, the legend is that the merman is good and charming, and the singing voice can be demagogic!" ”
This exclamation added a mystical atmosphere to the painting, and in order to know if the people on the boat were bewitched by the merman's song, people hurried to the next painting to find out.
Everyone followed the painting all the way, immersed in the storyline, unaware that the road they were walking became more and more deviant, turned a rugged alley and suddenly opened up, and unconsciously came to Qi Wuju.
There are two wooden planks standing in front of the door of Qi Wuju, and there is a painting on one of the wooden boards, which is the first picture of the merman weeping beads that people have just seen in the East Market, and there are four strong and powerful characters on it: the legend of the merman. Another wooden board reads that Qi Wuju is open today, all drinks are provided free of charge, and snacks and pastries are all 50% off.
A strong curiosity about the subsequent development of the story prompted people to enter the Qi Wu Residence, and entering it was like entering another world.
Qi Wu Ju is three storeys tall and features a bright and warm decoration style.
In the center of the hall on the first floor, there is a circular platform nearly one person high, and there are potted tables and chairs on the platform, which is very elegant. The rest of the seats are displayed around the round table, and the table is filled with flowers, which are still stained with morning dew, delicate and beautiful, and the room is full of flowers.
There is also a menu with pictures and texts, and the food painted is exquisite, tempting the spleen and stomach. Out of nowhere, there is a faint sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, which is gentle and comfortable, and makes people feel relaxed.
The shopkeeper warmly greeted everyone to sit down, add tea and pour water, and the service was considerate.
A white-bearded old man suddenly took the stage, and the fairy wind was boneless. Someone recognized him as the one who had just reminded everyone to move on.
The old man held the waking wood in his hand, and he was shocked, and said in a thick and steady voice: "There are sharks in the South China Sea, beautiful in appearance, and good in nature." One day of play, going out to sea on the reef, the moonlight is hazy, and the song is rising. The singing voice is ethereal, like a heavenly sound, intoxicating the breeze. There are fishing boats following the song, and the wind is blowing on the sea, and the fishing boats are crumbling. The shark is kind and strives to save it. Lu Zhuohua, a disciple of Fengtian Master, passed through this place and mistakenly thought that the shark was doing evil and wanted to subdue it. The scorching sword is made, the shark controls the water, the two fight, and it is difficult to solve the ......"
At this point, a painting hangs on the high platform, this painting is the same size as the previous painting, but the picture is divided into four grids, which is the fight scene between the merman and the heavenly master Zhuohua.
Everyone held their breath, looking at the vivid picture, and with the storyteller's subdued tone, they were brought into a fantasy world, as if a big war was just around the corner.
The man's expression was solemn and upright, and the woman's posture was slender, her eyes were full of ignorance, swords and swords, and golden drums sounded in unison.
The storyteller paused, picked up his teacup and took a sip of water.
Suddenly someone shouted: "And then? Sir, don't stop, you're getting to the point! ”
The man's anxious appearance caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Zhou Jingrong sat in the private room on the second floor, watching the reactions of everyone downstairs, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his heart after several days.
She didn't study marketing, but she felt that this wave of publicity was quite successful.
first used a picture of a merman crying beads to attract people's attention, and then used the progress of the story to attract everyone here, so that they could get to know the signboard of Qi Wuju.
Next, it is time to retain customers with thoughtful service, comfortable environment, delicious refreshments, and a more engaging storyline.
Zhou Yong, the steward of the teahouse, looked at the scene in the hall that had not been so lively for a long time, and gradually felt awe of Zhou Jingrong in his heart.
At first, he thought that Zhou Jingrong was stubborn and unusable, and scoffed at her teahouse restructuring plan. But now she is sighing, she is worthy of being the daughter of Master Zhou, who was born with a genius in business.
Zhou Jingrong came to Qi Wuju early in the morning to command the arrangement, and at this time he was physically and mentally relaxed, very tired, and planned to go back to his house to rest.
Zhou Yong hurriedly followed: "Girl, what else do you command?" ”
Zhou Jingrong thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhou, the dessert recipes I wrote yesterday asked the chef to make them as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Jingrong is a proper foodie, especially loves sweets, although he can't cook, but he can be said to be a treasure of all kinds of food.
She wanted to add a few drinks and snacks to the teahouse to increase the richness of the food, so that Qi Wuju has a unique feature that is different from other teahouses.
However, in ancient times, materials were scarce, and many modern desserts did not have the materials needed. However, desserts such as double skin milk and ginger ale milk are simple and delicious, and they can still be implemented.
Zhou Yong now admires Zhou Jingrong very much, and his attitude is very different, and he takes her words as a guideline, and says yes again and again.
