Chapter 92 Grand Opening Ceremony! (Part 2)
The auspicious time has arrived and the ceremony begins.
After a clear gong sounded, a young man quickly walked up to the platform, bowed, and said loudly: "First of all, welcome all friends to our Yipinxuan opening ceremony! In order to thank you for your kindness, we have launched a series of discounts!"
Soon after, two waiters carried a large wooden sign and placed it in front of the platform. The crowd came forward to check it out.
The wooden sign says that Yipinxuan is offering a grand opening promotion. Anyone who spends 20 taels of silver in the store will receive a coupon worth 3 taels of silver. The coupon cannot be used to redeem cash and can only be used at Yipinxuan. Customers who spend more than 100 taels of silver at a time will receive a Yipinxuan membership card, which can give them a 20% discount.
The young man explained the preferential policies on the wooden sign one by one, and everyone in the audience was stunned. They really had never heard of consumption coupons, and they always felt that it was quite new and quite affordable. Spending twenty taels and getting three taels back, isn't this a discount?
When the young man finished explaining, the audience was excited. Many people shouted that they wanted to rush in and try it!
"I guess this was the young master's idea, right?" Looking at the people who were excited and excited below the stage, Liu Yunxian looked at Jiang Chengfeng with a smile, her beautiful eyes like stars.
"It's just a trifle!" Jiang Chengfeng did not deny it and said with a smile.
Ye Lingshuang giggled, glanced at Liu Yunxian, and said, "Brother Jiang, sometimes I am really curious about what is going on in your head. How can you come up with so many tricks? These people fell into your trap, but they are still complacent!"
Ye Shengxian looked at his sister in confusion and asked, "Sister, why don't I understand?"
Ye Lingshuang stretched out her jade-white finger, poked her brother on the forehead, and said angrily: "You still need to learn a lot from your big brother Jiang!"
As she spoke, she pointed at the large wooden sign and explained, "Let's talk about the three taels of silver rebate first. On the surface, it looks like you bought something worth twenty-three taels of silver, but it's only about 95% off, not a big discount. But everyone thinks they got a three tael discount!"
"And the bundled meal is even worse! Originally, you were only going to have a bowl of clear soup noodles, which only cost two copper coins, but if you ordered the clear soup noodles combo, it would cost one tael and five cents of silver. It looks like you got a bargain, but it's not. Because you were only going to have clear soup noodles at first, but for this discount, you had to buy other things. Don't you think you're wasting money?"
Ye Shengxian slapped his forehead, secretly calling himself an idiot, and then gave Jiang Chengfeng a thumbs up, praising him: "Boss is awesome! I need to learn a lot from you in the future!"
Jiang Chengfeng looked at Ye Lingshuang with a smile and said, "If Miss Ye also went into business, she would definitely be a strong woman who could dominate the business world!"
Ye Lingshuang's beautiful eyes rolled back, but she said nothing.
At this time, the door of the restaurant opened, and the diners who had been waiting impatiently swarmed in, spending money lavishly, all just for a few taels of consumption vouchers, which was really ridiculous.
However, there were still many people gathered in front of the high platform, refusing to enter the restaurant. Most of these people were scholars in Confucian robes and hats. Since they were scholars, they had the arrogance of scholars. They would not compete with a group of rough people. It was simply disrespectful!
The young man on the platform was a brother of the Dragon Tiger Gate, and was a well-spoken talent carefully selected by Luo Dongchuan. Jiang Chengfeng found such a person just to create an atmosphere, and even temporarily trained him for two days to give speeches to incite diners to enter the restaurant for dinner.
At this time, the young man clasped his fists again and said in a loud voice: "On the occasion of the grand opening ceremony, our store specially invites two singing girls from Mantingfang to sing a song for everyone to liven up the atmosphere! Please invite Miss Xiaoyue and Miss Xiaorou to the stage to sing "Blue and White Porcelain" for everyone!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a sensation in the audience.
Because most of the people left in the audience at this time were scholars, and when these scholars had nothing to do, they liked to go to brothels in groups of three or five to drink wine and listen to songs. When they heard the three words "Mantingfang", they immediately burst into cheers.
Today, Xiaoyue and Xiaorou were dressed in moon-white and lavender skirts respectively, and walked onto the stage with lotus steps. These two women were originally courtesans who sang songs in Mantingfang. Today, they dressed up carefully and put on new clothes. They came together and immediately attracted warm applause from the scholars in the audience.
With the sound of a tinkling piano, the lively scene suddenly quieted down. For the opening ceremony, Jiang Chengfeng also asked Liu Yunxian to invite a band from Mantingfang, and they had arranged it in advance, playing "Blue and White Porcelain" very smoothly .
"The blue and white strokes on the blank body are thick and then light, and the peony painted on the bottle is just like your first makeup..."
Accompanied by the beautiful piano music, Xiaoyue sang softly and danced to the music, and the atmosphere on the scene was aroused again.
The audiences were staring at the two women singing on the stage in amazement, not only because of their beautiful voices and novel dance steps, but most importantly because of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" which they had never heard of before but had a bright and catchy tune.
This song actually combines the traditional handicraft of Northern Tang Dynasty, blue and white porcelain, with love. It sounds like a whisper between lovers. It is popular but not vulgar, simple but not boring. It can be called a brand new style of music!
As soon as the first part was finished, the talented people in the audience could not help but cheer loudly. These talented people usually boasted of their talents, but they had never seen such a novel and interesting song. For a moment, they were overwhelmed with emotion and could only applaud.
Seeing the enthusiastic response from the audience, Jiang Chengfeng finally relaxed. In fact, he had been worried whether this song could be accepted by people of this era, after all, the cultural differences were too great. However, Liu Yunxian was very optimistic and made some minor adjustments, which led to today's excellent performance.
"Miss Yunxian is really tall!" Jiang Chengfeng gave a thumbs up. Liu Yunxian smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her beautiful eyes bright, but when Luo Ahui saw her, she returned to normal, with a slightly red cheek.
The atmosphere was aroused, and the young man on the stage took the opportunity to mention the wealth on the fifth and sixth floors. He also said that if anyone could answer a couplet correctly, they could go upstairs for free and have a free VIP meal.
So, these talented people were moved.
Seeing these talented people hesitating, the young man immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, pay attention, the one who will open the Caihua Hengyi today is Miss Ye Lingshuang, the most talented woman in Huayang!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the talented people present were excited and then rushed into the restaurant like crazy.
