Chapter 45: Facade

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhong Ziqi's small stall changed again. Zhao Zhengan found Zhong Ziqi to be too hard in the wind and sun every day, so he found a shop in the town for him.

The facade is not very big, and there is a certain amount of rent every day. Zhong Ziqi consulted with Zhao Ama and Huang Ama. The three companies will rent this facade together. Then, any good things they make at home can be put in the store, one for each person.

It is very close to the pier, so there is no need to worry about losing customers. And there are a few tables in front of the shop, one by one for eating, just right.

Zhao A-Ma and Huang A-Ma went home to ponder, and felt that the matter was worthwhile. Anyway, following Brother Qi, they couldn't be wrong, and the two agreed to Zhong Ziqi's proposal.

On the day when the rent was paid, Zhao Ama and Huang Ama followed, and then each took out their own money and rented the store for a month. Although I felt distressed that most of the money I earned was lost all of a sudden, but thinking that I would earn more than this in the future, I felt a lot better.

Because Uncle Huang is a carpenter, Zhong Ziqi asked Uncle Huang to make a wooden plaque and apply a layer of bright paint, and then he wrote the words "quite delicious" with his pen.

Zhao Zhengan praised his good handwriting. He himself has been away for so many years, and he has recognized a lot of words, but if he is asked to write, it is almost like a dog.

Since they were always going in and out of the store, everyone soon knew that the best stall on the pier had moved, but fortunately, he hadn't moved far and was still near the pier.

When everything was ready, this "quite delicious" opened smoothly. The two firecrackers in front of the door crackled and kept thinking about it. Both adults and children covered their ears and hid away. Until the firecrackers were over, everyone came over to Zhong Ziqi and said they were happy. Whether it was Huang Ah, or Zhao Ah, the people on the dock were familiar with them. They didn’t live one by one. I started ordering my favorite, and ate a lot.

Zhong Ziqi was busy selling fried dough sticks in the store, while Zhao Zhengan stood at the door to greet the guests: "If you enter the store in the future, if you consume 15 copper plates, we will have a chance to draw a lottery. There are various mysterious rewards for this prize. Oh."

When the customer heard the words, he was immediately aroused by curiosity: "What reward? Tell us about it."

Brother Zhao Zhengan draped the man's shoulders nicely: "Mystery prizes, of course, you only know if you eat them. If I tell them in advance, there will be no surprises."

"Boss, give me ten cents of fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu nao, how about? Enough for fifteen cents, right?" a guest asked loudly.

Zhao Ning brought him the food, collected the money and said something to wait. Walked away for a while.

Everyone stretched their necks and waited for what kind of surprise there would be. After a while, Zhao Ning took a bamboo tube with a lot of bamboo sticks in it, and put it on the person's table: "Objective, you can pick one."

The man looked left and right to see that the call was coming, but after a while he gave up: "Can I shake it?" The man was also afraid of fraud.

"Yes." Zhao Ning handed him the bamboo tube.

The man took it and shook it like a dice.

"Zhao Laoliu can do it soon? Did he have a gambling addiction again?" Someone familiar with that person anxiously exposed his old bottom.

The man scratched his head awkwardly, put down the bamboo tube and looked around, and finally picked a bamboo stick in the middle, and couldn't wait to take it out to see what it was. There were indeed a few small characters under the bamboo stick, but he was illiterate and had to look at Zhao. Ning asked what he meant.

Zhao Ning was trained by Zhong Ziqi, so he took a look: "Congratulations to the guest, this sign is written with a penny reward." Zhao Ning said and showed the bamboo sticks to the onlookers to look at, and the literate nodded. It is indeed a reward for a penny.

"So we returned a penny objectively to this person, promise, the guest official's penny will be collected." Zhao Ning took a penny and handed it to that person.

The man smiled in his arms and found it interesting.

The onlookers also found it very interesting. They also ordered food for 15 cents. Some got one cent, some even got two cents, some got an egg, some got two fried dough sticks, etc. It's not the same, but as more people are drawn, there is a kind of bamboo stick that has also been drawn, that is, "Thank you for your patronage."

The people who got the draw stupidly asked if it was the big prize?

Zhao Ning explained to the man, the man was immediately depressed, why is his hand so mournful? The people around him laughed at him, but gradually, many people drew "Thank you for your patronage." Compared with those with prizes, their luck is really stinky.

The senior gambler immediately thought about it, it seems that it is not suitable to make a move today, and it must be out of luck. When the gambler is lucky enough, he will happily decide to go to the casino to bet two. Everyone has different thoughts, but they are all attracted by Zhong Ziqi’s unique business methods, the flow of passengers and profits throughout the day. Almost more than doubled than in the past.

Jin Sheng in the Jinhua restaurant was directly shocked. The crowded shops were almost more crowded than their restaurants. Some people were happy and gleeful, while others were frowning and downcast.

Jin Sheng was particularly curious and squeezed into the shop, and saw that the layout of the room was divided into three. In the middle is the fried dough sticks sold by Zhong Ziqi. On the left is the rice porridge and pickles sold by Huang Ama, and on the right is the fritters sold by Zhong Ziqi. Tofu brain sold by Zhao Ama.

Jin Sheng knows that they are all better, so seeing them here together, he is not surprising, but what made him strange was the lottery, which attracted batch after batch of guests.

"Treasurer Jin, you are coming here, you are welcome." Zhao Zhengan pointedly found Jin Sheng who was standing in the crowd and looking into the room.

Jin Sheng walked over with a smile: "Your business is still as popular as ever, I am envious of it."

Zhao Zhengan made a gesture of asking: "Where, where, small businesses, they are all things that are not on the table, they can't be compared with your big restaurant."

"You and your family husband are too humble. Your food has become a special food in our town. A few days ago, guests from other countries and I asked about you."

Zhao Zhengan smiled.

"I think you did a good job in this sweepstakes, who had the idea?"

Zhao Zhengan spread his hands: "It certainly won't be me."

"It's Brother Qi again? He has the most thoughts." Jin Sheng doesn't need to guess who he is. He always sighs with the other's weird thoughts.

Zhao Zhengan stood with Jin Sheng in an inconspicuous corner of the store, watching people coming and going, laughing and laughing.

Zhong Ziqi took time out of her busy schedule to look for Zhao Zhengan, and immediately found him standing in the corner and the treasurer beside him. He was surprised for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"You kid, you are blessed, such a good man, some of whom are good friends. They have become your husband." Jin Sheng said.

"I also think I'm quite blessed. It must be a blessing from my previous life." Zhao Zhengan said triumphantly, secretly vigilant in his heart, and his eyes scanned the surrounding like a radar. Seeing someone look at Zhong Ziqi more, his gaze shot at each other like a knife. My daughter-in-law is too recruiting, good-looking and capable. I really want to keep him in the house and not come out. Unfortunately, his wife's wishes are not under his control. He can only guard him like a guardian. Drive away all the flies that come up.

"You talk to your husband. I am very optimistic about his lottery. I plan to implement it in the restaurant and ask him if he has any suggestions." Jin Sheng said.

"Okay, I'll definitely bring the words." Zhao Zhengan was not surprised by Jin Sheng's rhetoric at all. And he believes that within a few days, many shops will follow suit.

Jin Sheng stayed in the store for a while and then went home. Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi packed a few fresh fried dough sticks for the shopkeeper Jin.

Zhong Ziqi’s shop did not close until the sun was about to set, and the passenger flow was small. Today, everyone made a profit. Zhao A-mae and Huang A-ma’s mouths couldn’t close together, and Zhao Baogen of Munner rarely showed a big big mouth. His smile, like Uncle Huang, came to take a look in the morning, but he couldn’t leave. He even followed them for a day. Fortunately, the hard work always pays off. Their earnings have turned a lot of money. Times.

"Thanks to the lottery that Brother Qi thought about, how could he make so much." Huang Ama thanked Zhong Ziqi, he can be described as their great hero. "

"Yeah, thanks to Brother Qi's trick, you said these kids are still hiding from us." Zhao Ama complained to Huang Ama, he and Huang Ama hit it off right away, and now the more they get in touch, the more they feel that each other is The temperament I like has become a good friend who talks about everything.

"Isn't this a surprise for you." Zhao Ning said with a smile. He was exhausted after a busy day, but he couldn't stop his happiness.

"Although it is gratifying to congratulate, the opening today is very successful, but this situation will not last long, I believe that within a few days, this lottery activity will be popular in other shops." Zhao Zhengan said, he did not deliberately poured cold water on a few people. , This is just to prepare them, don't be happy too early.

"Yeah, let alone a few days, it is estimated that other restaurants and shops will start to implement tomorrow. Moreover, everyone is also fresh and interesting, and the head will slowly cool down after a long time." Zhong Ziqi agreed with Zhao Zhengan. He believed that the people who came to buy food or watch the excitement today were not pure diners. There must be many spies, even the treasurer Jin was alarmed, let alone other homes.

"It doesn't matter, even if it is the same as before, we will not lose money." Zhao Sheng said, at least they won't let themselves lose money.

"Yes, not to mention that we can also develop some new dishes ourselves, and the provincial customers will always eat a single meal. So don't be discouraged, come on." Zhong Ziqi fisted and encouraged.

"Yes, come on." Zhao Ning also made a fist.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, cleaned up the shop, and closed the door and went home.
