Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1417 Famine and Natural Disaster 575
"Someone over there is guessing lantern riddles. If you guess correctly, you will not only get lanterns, but also drinks and cakes. Go quickly."

A group of well-dressed women, calling their friends, headed towards the tallest and largest restaurant in front.

Mingyi's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and she looked in the direction they were running. Isn't that Wangxi Tower?
"Are there any activities in Wangxi Tower?"

"The shopkeeper has arranged a lantern riddle guessing competition, as well as a literary and martial arts competition. The lantern riddles are for everyone to play with, and common people with some talent can also participate; as for the literary and martial arts competitions, they are mostly prepared for the young men and women from the rich and powerful families."

Zhou Ting explained it to her in detail.

Mingyi listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the class divisions in this world had reached an extreme.

There are many people who can take part in guessing lantern riddles, but the situation is different for the men and women who want to join in the literary or martial arts competitions; families without some background cannot cultivate talented men and women, and the same is true for those who want to join in the martial arts competitions.

The powerful clans monopolize books, and very few books are released; the books that poor students can see are very limited, and it is difficult to squeeze into the circle of powerful clans.

"Let's join in the fun." Mingyi pulled Zhou Ting and ran over.

Chunmei, Madam Zhao and the guards followed closely, fearing that they would lose them.

Looking west tower.

Chunmei and Nanny Zhao protected Mingyi, while the guards stepped forward to push aside the crowd and escorted Zhou Ting and Mingyi into Wangxi Tower. They went straight to the best box, where one could sit by the window and see the lantern riddle guessing contest below, and to the right they could see the arena for literary and martial arts fights.

However, the competition arena is located on a large platform on the second floor behind Wangxi Building.

The literary and physical fights were separated, and the arena between the girls and the boys was separated by a 30-meter-long screen; behind the screen stood a row of servants.

There was a row of servants in cotton clothes standing on the two platforms on the left, and a row of maids standing on the right; they stood back to back with a screen between them to avoid suspicion to the greatest extent.

"Did you arrange these, or did the shopkeeper?"

Mingyi narrowed her eyes and calculated in her mind that after this, Wangxilou would make a fortune.

Zhou Ting smiled and said, "It was the idea of ​​the people below. In addition, at the end of the competition, there is another step: drawing lots."

"Draw lots?"

"Everyone who participates in the competition, regardless of gender, can draw a lot at the exit before leaving. The lot is a red envelope. The lucky ones can draw silver bills, silver, jewelry, and cloth. The less lucky ones will pay to leave. The money is not much, just for fun."

treacherous!

So treacherous!

Mingyi said that she had not thought about these.

Her eyes flickered as she asked, "Does it cost money to enter?"

"One ounce per person."

"Chao Sheng, has anyone ever told you that you are suitable to be a profiteer!!!"

Zhou Ting laughed and shook his head, "No one dares to say it."

"You are really suitable to be a profiteer. Each person entering the venue will receive one tael of silver, which is not much for the powerful clans, but one tael per person means one tael for each person entering, ten taels for ten people entering, and hundreds of taels for a hundred people. After the end, some people still have to pay when they leave. With this calculation, although the prizes for the lottery seem to be high, in the end the sheep will pay for the wool."

"Those who got the reward were happy, and those who paid the money just had fun. It was too dark."

It's almost like a black shop.

Mingyi just thought about it in her mind, she saw it clearly; these boys and girls who came from rich families had no shortage of money, they just wanted to have fun with some money, they didn't mind at all.

"Okay, stop thinking about it and just wait and see what happens." Zhou Ting interrupted her reverie.

His sweetheart was extremely intelligent and was able to detect his intentions from just a few clues; although there was a little bit of shady intentions behind this business, the benefits to those involved were also obvious.

Both verbal and physical fights are shortcuts to making friends with like-minded people. They can help you show off, make friends, and have fun.

Wangxilou gained both profit and prestige. A win-win situation!

Mingyi looked down with great interest, when the door of the box was knocked.

"Knock knock knock, Master, the waiter has brought dried fruits, fruits, cakes and tea. May the subordinates come in?"

An San's voice sounded. Ming Yi watched the lantern riddle competition and the competition with great interest. Her eyes looked over there and over here. An San's voice did not affect her at all.

Zhou Ting said loudly: "Come in."

"Here."

After answering loudly, he pushed the door open and walked in.

An San, Chun Mei, and Nanny Zhao came in with the things brought by the waiter.

Zhou Ting looked at the food on the table and said to An San, "Go buy a roasted whole lamb and lamb chops."

"Yes, roasted whole lamb, I love it." Mingyi's eyes were too busy to take it all in, so when she heard about barbecue, she agreed.

Chunmei and Madam Zhao smiled at each other. They served their master and were used to his little love for food; they did not forget to interject a few words to express their appreciation for his kindness.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

An San's mouth twitched, "Yes, I will go there myself."

After putting down the food, the three of them left the box.

Zhou Ting and Ming Yi were the only two people left in the box.

The box reserved for Zhou Ting is the best location in the entire Wangxi Building and is also spacious; the corridor outside the box has been converted into a main hall, and opposite the main hall are the small boxes.

The main room in the box is just right for the accompanying attendants to rest. Chunmei, Madam Zhao, and the guards all have a place to sit.

"Yiyi, eat and watch at the same time." He brought two plates of dried fruits and fruits to the window.

There was a soft couch next to the window, on which was a small table, a mattress and a soft quilt.

Watching the fun like today, under a blanket, eating snacks and watching the fun, is both enjoyable and fun.

Zhou Ting put the things in his hands on the small table, and gradually transferred the tea and snacks over, "Don't just stare, let's eat and join in the fun."

"it is good."

Mingyi didn't even blink, she just casually reached out to the small table and took whatever she got.

There were more and more arenas for both literary and martial arts fights below, and at a glance, there were at least hundreds of people. It was only as big as the West Building, and the yard behind it was also very spacious, so a large platform could be built on the backyard, which was completely sufficient.

Guessing lantern riddles is at the entrance of the restaurant. At a glance, many people are gathering here; so the location of this box is great! You can see the fighting arena on the left and the lantern riddle guessing on the right.

"It must have cost a lot of money to build the arena, right?" The managers of Prince Zhou's palace must have gone bald for this grand event.

"It doesn't cost much money, the materials are readily available, and we have plenty of labor in our house; it just takes some time. After this, no restaurant in the entire northwest can compete with Wangxilou."

Mingyi nodded and agreed very much, "You have many talented people under you."

"It's my mother who manages it well."

Oh, you're being humble.

Mingyi enjoyed the meal and didn't expose it.

An San was out for a quarter of an hour and came back with two large oil-paper packages in his hands. When he brought them into the box, Ming Yi took a quick look.

"Master, Miss Cheng, the meat has been sliced, please enjoy."

Ansan put down his things and left quickly, not forgetting to close the door after he went out.
