Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 79 Activities
Li Kongzhu's dream came true. When he woke up the next day, although he didn't see himself waking up in the arms of a man as he wished, he still couldn't resist the corners of her lips that were in a good mood.

He happily got up humming a little tune, folded the quilt, ran out of the house with his hair up and his shoes on, and went to the small kitchen.

Seeing that the man had lit the fire and turned into ice cubes, she grinned and gave him a highly charming sweet smile, "Master, good morning!"

Zhao Junyi turned his head to look at her, and after humming lightly, scooped the boiled water from the pot into the basin.

When Li Kongzhu saw it, he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and ran over suddenly in a gust of wind, wrapping him around him coquettishly, "Thank you!"

The man's heart softened, and he untied her arms around her waist without making a sound.In the end, he said lightly, "Hurry up and wash up, it's time to cook."

Li Kongzhu didn't care about his spoiling words.

Smiling and loosening his hand, nodding his head, he went to fetch the water in the basin, found out the toothbrush and green salt, and began to wash.

After breakfast, Hui Niang and Mai Ya'er came to help cook the hawthorn.

Seeing that Li Kongzhu was grinning and smiling non-stop like that spring breeze, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Both of them had been there, and they kept staring at Zhao Junyi who was smashing the fruit when they watched her boil the syrup, and they both smiled knowingly.

Mai Ya'er is the one who likes to play jokes the most. Seeing that she was looking at Zhao Junyi again, she couldn't help giving her a shoulder, "Sister-in-law, it's hard to see how happy you are." No way, last night with my third brother Zhao... umm!"

With a wretched smile on her face, she compared her two thumbs and turned around.Li Kongzhu looked at her contemptuously, "What are you thinking about, that's something to be proud of?"

"Oh, don't believe me. How about I get you a mirror to show you?" As he spoke, he whispered to her again, "Take a look at that time, look at your eyebrows and eyes." Yes, which one doesn't have that dripping smile?!"

Li Kongzhu made a gesture to pinch her, but Xiaonizi had expected it long ago, and when she saw that she was about to get angry, she rushed to Hui Niang's place and wanted to change hands with her. Women stay away.

Seeing that the two of them were about to start a fight again, Hui Niang smiled and said, "Okay, okay! They're all from here, what's the matter!"

"Exactly!" Mai Ya'er nodded in agreement.

Li Kongzhu blushed and glanced at Zhao Junyi, seeing his calm face, as if he had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but snarled at Mai Yaer, "I'm really getting more and more clueless!"

"Oh, what's the matter!" Mai Ya'er shrugged.Women who often do farm work and a group of old men can tell such silly jokes, they just speak some sensible words, and they are very cryptic.

"It's inappropriate!" Zhao Junyi who hadn't spoken finally opened his mouth, and handed over the mixed fruit jam.When handing it over to Hui Niang, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Mai Ya'er again.

Although Mai Ya'er could not avoid being stared at by him every day these days, she still hadn't developed immunity.After being glanced at by him, he was still terrified, shrank his neck there, and didn't dare to say anything again.

Li Kongzhu gave her a funny look, and just as he was sewing, the voices of Zhao Miao'er and Zhao Niqiu came from outside.

Glancing at the syrup in his hand, seeing that it was almost done, Li Kongzhu took the malt over to take it out for Hui Niang to mix, while she wiped her hands and walked out of the house.

As soon as she came out, she saw the two children looking at her with their noses raised, so she hurried over and pulled the wooden fence door open.

"come in!"

"Okay!" Zhao Miaoer nodded her head and jumped in very lively first.

Zhao Niqiu in the back was a little timid, but he couldn't hide his happy grin at her and said, "Thank you, Third Aunt!"

"En!" Li Kongzhu couldn't help reaching out to touch him when he passed by him.

Telling the two to go to the main house to stay first, and when she was closing the door, she heard a loud bang from the next door.

Raising his eyebrows, - Sui casually laughed, and after closing the courtyard door firmly, he turned around.

The two children were standing in the yard waiting for her, but before entering the house, they saw her turn and ran towards her.

Li Kongzhu led the other to the main house, and let the two go to the kang.

I took out a small basket of unpicked hawthorns that I intentionally left yesterday.

He took another clean small basin and put it on the kang table, and said to the two of them, "Come on, Third Aunt will teach you how to pick this stalk, okay?"

"it is good!"

"Then, just pick off the end and the tail, and some with leaf-like leaves. Don't worry, pick it up slowly. If you don't finish picking it up by lunchtime, you can stay at the third aunt's place for lunch." , Third Aunt will make meat buns in a while!"

Zhao Miaoer's eyes lit up when he heard about eating meat buns. Looking at the basket of fruits, he said with a serious face, "Third Aunt, go get busy. We will pick them slowly."

Zhao Niqiu is bigger and works a lot, so he naturally knows that he has to pick them quickly.Seeing Zhao Miaoer say this, she wrinkled her little nose a little, "I will pick it quickly, third aunt don't worry, I promise to pick it clean."

"No hurry." He touched his little head pitifully, "Take a rest when you're tired. If you're thirsty or hungry, come to the kitchen to greet Third Aunt. Then Third Aunt will bring you cakes to eat."

"Okay!" Zhao Miaoer nodded her head naturally.

Zhao Niqiu didn't dare to ask for too much. Seeing her staring at him, he nodded timidly.

After Li Kongzhu arranged for the two of them, he went to the kitchen again.

Seeing the two children coming, Mai Ya'er pursed her lips in displeasure.

Asked Li Kongzhu: "Are you really planning to help raise it?"

"En!" Li Kongzhu took over, stirred the boiled hawthorn, and nodded with a smile.

Mai Ya'er and Hui Niang looked at each other, Hui Niang couldn't help but asked, "What are you thinking?"

For those two families, she has been here for so long, and she has more or less heard of them.

Especially now that there are so many fawning people, what the leaders of those two families have done, other people can't wait to dig it out and tell her about it.

Listening to such a messy thing, let her go through it.Others couldn't hide in time, but she still let the child come to play without hesitation?
Should we say that she is a good mother, or should I say that she has a big heart?

Li Kongzhu laughed and shook his head, "I can't keep enmity from generation to generation." Besides, she has her own plans.

Mai Ya'er knew about her plan to teach the children years ago. At that time, she said that the house was deserted, and it would be better if there were more children.

Now it seems that it is not all!

While thinking about it, he turned his eyes to Zhao Junyi.

I don't want the person who was smashing the fruit to immediately shoot with a deep eye like a sharp arrow.She was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to think about it anymore, and started to work faster.

After hearing what she said, Hui Niang couldn't say much.He only sighed and persuaded: "Although I'm a kid, I can't help but don't know what's going on. Sometimes I don't understand, but the adults behind me have to guard against it!"

"I can save it!" Li Kongzhu saw that the fruit in the pot was almost watery, so he asked Zhao Junyi how the other end was doing.

After getting affirmation, he scooped it out and handed it over again.

During lunch, Zhao Niqiu and Zhao Miaoer ate here.

Zhao Miaoer was okay, but Zhao Niqiu was too afraid to go to the table.

I was a little uncomfortable with it, but Mai Ya'er and Hui Niang, who didn't have a good impression of them, saw his attitude when they saw him.All of them softened their hearts a little unaccustomed, and began to become more pleasant.

This move made Li Kongzhu laugh at him from the sidelines.After the meal, he even winked at the two of them meaningfully.

Both Mai Ya'er and Hui Niang smiled a little embarrassedly, shook their heads and said, "Your child is so young, even a human being can be soft-hearted."

……

After lunch, Zhao Mengzi came back with fruits, and the people led by Mrs. Wang also went to work in the afternoon.

Li Diaozhu asked Zhao Miao'er and Zhao Niqiu to help pick fruit in the small kitchen.

When Wang and the others saw the two of them, they were shocked.

When they learned that they also came to do work, they couldn't help laughing.

Since he was working, Zhao Niqiu was okay, honestly, although he picked slowly, but he patiently grabbed the stem of the fruit, which really seemed to be the case.

But Zhao Miaoer couldn't do it anymore, she was thirsty for a while, urinated for a while, and asked for cakes for a while, obviously she came here for fun.

Wang and the others asked her jokingly with a smile, "Miao'er, are you here to earn money, or to play? Why are you still eating it? Hurry up and pick the fruit, there are a lot of bosses here."

"I'm tired. Third Aunt said she would take a rest when she was tired." Zhao Miao'er pouted, then turned her head to look for Li Diaozhu who was going to the pit and asked, "Is Third Aunt right?"

"Yes!" Li Diaozhu nodded.

The people on the side laughed, "How much money will your aunt give you a day if you do this!"

"A penny."

Seeing her innocently fingering each other, everyone was relieved.

It seems that they are really here to play!

Li Kongzhu just smiled and kept silent, and glanced at Zhao Niqiu out of the corner of his eye, knowing what was in his mind.

After finishing work in the evening and sending them off after paying wages to the others, Li Diaozhu called Zhao Niqiu and Zhao Miao'er into the main house.

I gave a small package of hawthorn sticks, and gave each person a penny.

Zhao Miao'er held it up and said that it was enough to buy Yitang, but Zhao Nixiu over there carefully held it in his hand, and when he looked up at Li Kongzhu, there was some reluctance in his eyes.

Li Kongzhu touched his little head and smiled at him gently, "Go back! Come back tomorrow."

After hearing this, Zhao Miaoer cheered and rushed outside, eager to go home and show off.Zhao Niqiu stood there, and after she got up from the kang, he followed her.

Li Kongzhu took his little hand and comforted him: "Third Aunt will keep the rest of the wages for you, and when you grow up, can I give it to you?"

Zhao Niqiu didn't understand, so he raised his head and blinked at her.

Li Kongzhu smiled and whispered something to him, then stretched out his hand to make a hook, "This is a secret, you can't tell others?"

Looking at the outstretched hand, Zhao Niqiu was a little dazed, and the next moment, he grinned happily again, showing a few fangs in his smile, and nodded heavily, "Yeah!"

Stretching out his hand, he ticked off his favorite third aunt. This is a secret between him and the third aunt, so he won't tell others.

After sending people away, Li Kongzhu and the others started cooking again at night.

The two Zhao Miao'er on the other side will return to the courtyard.

Mrs. Zheng and the others rushed out, looked at the hawthorn sticks in the hands of the two children, and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "After working for a day, you got such a worthless thing?"

Zhao Jinsheng gave his mother-in-law a dark look.

Mrs. Zhang of the second room pursed her lips, obviously looking down on her for messing around again.

Stretching out his hand to his daughter, he asked, "What have you done today?"

"I picked the fruit, and ate meat buns and haw jelly." Zhao Miaoer shook the money in her hand at her mother, "This is my wages!"

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile in her eyes, and stretched out her hand, "I'll save it for you, I'll go to the market tomorrow to buy you candy."

"I think I'll buy it tomorrow."

"The grocery stores in the village are all sold out, so there's no Yitang left. I'll keep it for you, my mother, and I'll buy you two packs when you go to the market, okay?"

Zhao Miao'er pursed her mouth, and she didn't want to give it to her, so Zhang's eyes rolled and she stared at her hawthorn bag, "If you don't want to keep it for mother, you should eat less of these hawthorn sticks. If you eat too much, you will feel sour. "

"No!" Xiao Wa'er quickly carried the hawthorn stick behind her back.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said with narrowed eyes: "If you don't give hawthorn strips, you will get silver and copper plates. You can choose one."

Come again!Zhao Miao'er pursed her mouth in confusion, after all, it was the snacks in front of her that mattered.Crying, I had to hand over the copper plate.

On the other side, Zhao Niqiu didn't wait for his parents to say anything, and took the initiative to hand over the copper plate.

Zhao Jinsheng took it and nodded in satisfaction.

On the side, Mrs. Zheng snatched the hawthorn bun from his hand with a bit of annoyance, "I've already eaten meat, so what's the point of eating this thing? Your elder brother left home to eat pickle sticks all day, and he didn't say anything about leftovers." Put some down, take some back, it really is the plaything of a white-eyed wolf, my mother worked so hard to conceive you, but now she is someone else's son."

"Shut up for me!" Zhao Jinsheng had no choice but to suppress her when she saw that she was babbling again.

Mrs. Zheng closed her mouth, and Zhao Yinsheng, who was next to her, said flatly, "If I want to have two sons, I will let them all go. Sixty yuan a month. It's a free job. Why don't you earn it? That means I don’t know it anymore!”

After that, he called his mother-in-law and daughter into the house, "Eat and eat, it's almost dark today, I'm starving to death."

Zhao Jinsheng's expression darkened upon hearing this.

But Mrs. Zheng cursed dissatisfied, "You cheap bastard, this is biased. No, this boss has to go too, but you can't go cheap for that little bitch. There are so many idle money, why should I go? If he refuses to order, then Zhao Junyi has eaten the rice grains of the Zhao family for eight years."

"What's your idea? You're covered by me." Seeing her like this, Zhao Jinsheng knew that he was going to mess up again. "A dead woman who can't listen to what others say, you dare to make trouble again?"

It is obvious that the second room is trying to get rid of their family now, and go to that room alone, to tease the mother-in-law here, if she is really allowed to make trouble, I am afraid that the other side will completely sever ties with this side.

Nowadays, some people in the village want to benefit from it. If there is a real disturbance, how can they get it?
Zhao Jinsheng pointed at her, gritted his teeth, "Don't think that my words have no weight, if you dare to make a fuss, I will ask the elders of the clan to testify, and I will definitely divorce you!"

"How dare you!" Zheng's mouth was strong, "They are all nephews, so why don't you let me die."

"Why?!" Zhao Jinsheng snorted, turned to look at Da'er, and saw him holding a hawthorn stick, stuffing it into his mouth as if he had never eaten it in eight lifetimes. Just like my own mother-in-law.

Not to mention it's annoying for others to look at, even for him.

Snorting, he yelled at the voracious son, "It's been eight lifetimes of bloody bad luck for you, a bastard like you, who hasn't eaten in a few lifetimes, and I'm not afraid of swallowing you to death. Cub go."

"Why did you scold him?" Mrs. Zheng was dissatisfied, and hurriedly hugged her frightened son into her arms, "You still have to rely on him when you are old."

"Rely on him?!" Zhao Jinsheng snorted, and called Er'er without heeding it, "Go into the room and prepare to eat."

"What kind of food do you eat? It's not that you don't have nothing to eat. There are meat buns and pastries, so you still need to eat? Then the stomach will be full!" She now believes that the second son followed there, and the I don't want to waste any more rice.

Anyway, it's unreliable, so it's better to hurt the eldest son more.

Zhao Jinsheng looked at her stupid face, pointed at her and shook his hands, gritted his teeth and said with a dark face: "You don't have to be arrogant, I will divorce you sooner or later."

Zheng snorted coldly.

Zhao Niqiu saw the noise again, so he whispered, "I'm not hungry."

"If you're not hungry, go and burn the kang in your own house." Mrs. Zheng turned her head and lashed out at him, "You're an unfilial thing, you know that if you eat alone, you will have a better time in the future."

"Have you done enough fucking?" Zhao Jinsheng, who had already entered the room, yelled out impatiently again.

Mrs. Zheng pulled her face, moaned with trembling lips, pulled her eldest son and walked towards the main house.

When Zhao Tiedan went up the steps, he deliberately turned his head and made a face at his younger brother, and spit at him.

Zhao Niqian's eyes were a little wet. He didn't want to stay in such a home anymore.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Li Chong, who had been away for a few days, finally got back the title deed.

Talking about the situation of buying land, "In the area of ​​Xiahe, there are mountains and dry flats, a total of 130 mu. Because there are no owner-owned mountains and forests, and there are many dry lands, it is not worth much. The average cost is less than three taels per mu. A total of more than [-] taels was spent. The rest was spent on buying saplings and digging the trees. As for the saplings, most of them are jujube saplings. Transport the seedlings to plant."

Li Kongzhu nodded, and asked how much money he expected to spend.

Li Chong and Hui Niang looked at each other, "The total prepared is 230 taels."

That is to say, apart from the total of 130 taels for her and Mai Ya'er, they also took as much as a hundred taels.

Li Kongzhu nodded, "Then let's make a contract. Sister Hui still gets [-]%, me [-]%, and Ya'er and the others [-]%. From this year on, the profit of this land will be based on this."

At the end, he asked again, "Do you have any objections?"

Of course, there is no such thing, how much money each family pays, everyone knows in their hearts.

After seeing everything agreed, Li Kongzhu asked Hui Niang to be the owner and keep the land deed.As for the contract, it was up to them to write it.

After the incident, they talked about the opening of the store in [-] days.

Li Kongzhu suggested to put all the goods in the store on this day, don't be too grand, because it will be the Lantern Festival in two days, but you can take advantage of the busy day and hire a few temporary errands who can speak well help.

At the time of introduction, setting up a small table and letting them yell passers-by to enter the store on the stage is also a kind of gimmick.

"Do you want to invite a grass-roots team?" If there is a show to watch, many people will be recruited.

"Yeah." Li Kongzhu nodded, and then had a flash of inspiration, "Another wooden box this big."

Li Kongzhu suddenly remembered that in his previous life, every event held was a lottery.

I made a size comparison with my hands, "When introducing, put some written rewards in. After singing a play, let the hired workers who run errands and can speak go up to control the audience. Explain, go into the store to buy Things, how much money is full, you can have a chance to draw a lottery."

"As for the prize, it's silver. It can also be crystal cake, hawthorn sticks and so on." Thinking of the cardboard that always had another pack when eating melon seeds in the previous life, Li Diaozhu couldn't help laughing knowingly. said.

"It's money, and it's crystal cake, will it be a loss?" Mai Ya'er felt that it was not worth it, so he couldn't help expressing his worries.

"That's not going to happen." Li Kongzhu recovered from his memories, and said with a smile: "It's such a big box. When the time comes, let's write some thank you for your patronage. If there is another pack or something. The top prize will only be put in two. Three, those are those who are extremely lucky. Some small ones come and go, but it’s not enough.”

As long as not everyone comes for nothing, there will always be someone who wants to try their luck to draw a big prize.

"The ultimate prize, let's set a tael of silver!" Li Kongzhu smiled and confirmed the plan firmly.

Although everyone was a little surprised, but seeing her smiling face, they all nodded in faith.

Afterwards, Li Kongzhu told the specific details again, and after explaining everyone's doubts, they dispersed and went to their respective homes.

After seeing them off, Li Kongzhu put himself on the kang after washing, and lazily put him into the man's arms.

"Head, do you think I can do it?"

Since that day, the man has long been familiar with her clinging to this trick from time to time, nodded his head lightly, and stretched out his hand to pull her out.

"No!" The woman hugging his waist groaned, "I'm tired, master, you can rely on me!"

Although the man was silent, he didn't stretch out his hand to pull her again.

A cunning flashed in Li Kongzhu's eyes, and he buried himself in his arms, closed his eyes and rested contentedly.

On the thirteenth day of the next day, Li Kongzhu and Mai Ya'er followed Hui Niang and his wife's donkey cart in the bullock cart and headed for the town.

Some people in the village also knew that they opened a shop today, and Li Kongzhu even asked Mai Ya'er to tell Lin about the lottery, and asked her to tell Lin to go to the village to spread the word. Everyone can win a prize draw.

There is an eighty to ninety percent chance of winning the lottery, and it depends on who is lucky enough to win the ultimate prize.

Therefore, they had just arrived at the entrance of the village at this moment, and there were many inquiring people on the road.

Li Kongzhu was in charge of explaining, and just as he was about to finish speaking, Mai Yaer rolled up his sleeves and began to yell, "When the [-]th rings and the street lights in the town light up, that's when our activities will start. , I have invited all the uncles and aunts in the village. Those who are interested can come to visit, and those who are not interested can also come to listen to opera. Yes, you can come and see it!"

Everyone heard her yelling, and hurried back with a smile, "Xingle! Let's go when we are introduced, so don't kick us out."

"No, no, we are all from the same village, and we are consumers, so we won't be so unconscionable." Mai Ya'er laughed loudly and replied: "Well, uncles, aunts, and ladies should all remember, ten Don't forget the moment when the five rings are heard!"

Everyone smiled and said no, and sent them out of the village.The car was far away, and there were still people standing there.

Mai Ya'er sat in the car with a clear throat and chuckled, "According to the excitement, it should be a good sale on the [-]th day."

Especially with the ultimate grand prize of one tael of silver, just thinking about it, she already wants to participate.

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word. There were quite a few such activities in his previous life. Although he knew that it was a way for merchants to promote sales, it was still unavoidable that he wanted to win a big prize. He wanted to give it a try?

When we arrived in the town, the hour would pass.

After moving the cakes in the car to the shop, Li Chong confessed that he was going to go out with Zhao Mengzi and hire the grass theater troupe and temporary errands.

The three wives, Li Kongzhu and Mai Ya'er Huiniang, stayed in the store to continue tidying up after sending them out.

There are only a few kinds of pastries. Although there are too many, it is impossible to display all of them.

Seeing that most of the wall shelves were not full, Li Kongzhu asked Hui Niang if she had any plans.

"Earlier, we bought a batch of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, bad cakes, and yitang. It was originally a food store, and I knew I couldn't rely on these things. Now it's just used as the treasure of the store."

Li Diaozhu nodded, as soon as the first month and February were over, there was nothing to do.It won't make a profit for several months. If you don't use something else to buy and sell, it doesn't make much sense if the store doesn't open.

After tidying up, the three of them sat down again.

After noon, the two who went out to do errands also came back.

Everyone went to a commoner restaurant for a meal, and during the dinner, Li Chong said again who he wanted to invite.

"There is a gentleman storyteller who looks very sharp-tongued. I thought he was going to do this opera and control the audience when I thought about it."

Li Kongzhu nodded, "Tell him what to do, and let him write a manuscript. When the store opens tomorrow, we will ask him to come and memorize it again. Then we will see if there are any problems and things that need improvement."

"That's the reason." Hui Niang also agreed, urging her man to finish eating quickly, and then go up again after ringing.

After the discussion, everyone left the table and went home without mentioning it.

The fourteenth is the day when the store opens. Although it is not the opening of a big store, it is still necessary to get together and set off firecrackers for a meal.

Therefore, early in the morning, Li Kongzhu caught the man who wanted to sneak off to the mountain again, and wrapped his waist around him, wrapping him softly until he nodded.

Then Shuangshuangxiang took Mai Ya'er and his wife together and headed towards the town to get together.

At a moment of time, I heard that it was an auspicious time to invite someone to count, and it was also the time when Huilaifu officially opened its doors.

In addition to the three families who knew each other, the people who came also included some of Li Chong's friends and close neighbors and relatives.

Everyone congratulated and yelled at Li Chong, the man in charge, and took off the plaque covered with red cloth.Then the high-hanging firecrackers were set off, and amidst the lively sound, everyone entered the store as the customer, and bought a few items for the noodles, which was considered to be the official opening of the store.

Since the store is located at the front of the street, it can be regarded as a good location.

Now it is only one day away from the Lantern Festival, so the relatives who should leave will almost all return home a day or two in advance.

At this moment, there are already many residents in the town, wandering back and forth to buy some necessities.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers, I saw that it was a new store, which still attracted some curious people.

Because of his loud voice, Mai Ya'er saw someone coming.

He hurried to the door of the store and yelled loudly, "Come, come, come, the new store opened the day before, and it will be sold at cost price. Whether you want the sweet Yitang or the delicious pastries, the store can satisfy you." Mile. The most important thing is that during the opening period of the new store, if you buy enough [-] coins, you can leave a ticket, and you can come to draw the ultimate prize during the Lantern Festival tomorrow. There are many prizes. You can get that huge sum of one tael of silver!"

The people who gathered around were not very interested in the front, but when they heard the huge sum of one tael of silver, they all rushed forward to ask what was going on.

Mai Ya'er put her waist in there and swallowed her saliva, and suddenly heard Li Kongzhu remind her in a low voice behind her.

He smiled and said, "For details, please enter the store for consultation. There is a special person in the store to explain."

When everyone heard this, they rushed towards the small shop.

Li Diaozhu and Hui Niang looked at each other.

They all greeted those who came to consult with a smile.

After hearing that, you can draw a lottery, and there is an [-] to [-]% chance of being the general.Although the small prize was only a small pack of hawthorn sticks, but hearing that the big prize included crystal cakes, rock candy, and copper coins, I was a little moved.

Especially after hearing that the big prize was one tael of silver, all eyes were eager to try it.

Seeing this, Li Diaozhu took the opportunity and said, "Twenty coins is enough for one chance to draw a lottery, and one hundred coins is five times, and you can get one free ride. Anyone who buys it, the receipt shall prevail!"

As he spoke, he took out the small piece of paper that had been cut and stamped with his fingerprints, and dipped it in ink with a broken branch.

"Based on the small ticket I recorded, tomorrow, at the moment of application, when the lanterns are lit, it will be the time for us to draw the lucky draw. First come, first served, the grand prize does not wait for anyone."

After hearing this, everyone became curious and prepared to buy a catty to try.

And those who don't believe it.

Hui Niang then asked Li Chong to take out the lottery box and put it on the ground, so that those who bought twenty coins could draw one for free.

As a result, as soon as that person went, he drew a prize of two copper coins.

Hui Niang was also very happy, and immediately returned his two copper coins.

When everyone saw it, they all believed it.

Li Diabolo held some hawthorns and said there again: "We are innocent, not only relying on lottery to gain business, but everyone present can try the hawthorns in this shop and see how it compares to other shops. It’s good or not. Just these few things, during Chinese New Year, we even gave them to rich families in Fucheng as snacks.”

Is this a big deal?

After listening to some people present, there were those who had a wink, and immediately understood a little bit.

With personal witness, and personal experience after tasting.

Everyone is quite generous, and they will more or less buy some back.

Of course, the ones who are so few must have passed twenty essays.

Taking advantage of the momentum, when it was close to Xiangwu, Hui Niang and the others made room.

Instructed Li Chong to lead the congratulators to the reserved restaurant for dinner.

The women ordered dishes and fiddled with them in the small room in the shop.

When the ringing sounded, after Li Chong's friend had left, the storyteller who had invited to control the audience also came.

Li Kongzhu saw that he was still upright, so he asked him to talk about the manuscript he had written.

After hearing what he said passionately, he nodded in affirmation with satisfaction.

After correcting a few more points, he asked him to come to the stage early tomorrow for a rehearsal.

After arranging these things, he looked at the wood that Li Chong found to build the stage.Although it can't be said to be very advanced, it is enough to set up a small stage or something.

After everything was settled, and the family members set a time to meet each other the next day, they left their respective homes.
