Governor-General Lomin Luo? Wouldn't that be Kleinloh's father? I'm on good terms with Kleinloh. No matter how much he cares for his son, there's no need for him to curry favor with me like this. This is strange.
Looking at Luoyuan and Luo Ning, they were also stunned. Obviously, they didn't expect their father to do this. Luoyuan smiled embarrassedly. "Big Brother, I don't know what's going on either. When you see my father in the future, you can ask him yourself."
Lin Wanrong's heart was in a knot. He had a feeling that this Governor-General Lomin was definitely not a simple person.
Dong Qingshan and the rest went out to welcome him. The one who came in was a skinny advisor. It wasn't Governor-General Lomin who came personally. The advisor cupped his fists and bowed to Luoyuan and Luo Ning. "Greetings, Young Master. Greetings, Miss. "
Luoyuan nodded and smiled. "Uncle Liu, did Father specially send you to deliver the plaque? This is the owner of this restaurant, Young Master Lin. "
Lin Wanrong was shocked. In front of outsiders, the owner of the Food for Immortals was Dong. Today, Luoyuan pushed him to the front stage. There was obviously a special meaning behind it. Did Lomin already know that he was the owner of the Food for Immortals? Then how did Lomin know about him? Why did he value him so much? I'm just a small servant in the Xiao Family. He's the head of a province and a high official, but he's so fond of a small restaurant. It's definitely not just because I'm on good terms with his son. There must be some other reason.
Lin Wanrong's mind raced. He looked at Luoyuan. Although Luoyuan was also a little puzzled, he wasn't as surprised as Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat. This Kleinloh was definitely hiding something from him.
Master Liu walked over and cupped his fists towards Lin Wanrong, "Congratulations, Young Master Lin. Before my Old Master left, he told me that I had to personally meet Young Master Lin to express his congratulations. Due to his status, it is inconvenient for Master to come personally to congratulate you. He can only express his gratitude, I hope Young Master won't take offense. "
Lin Wanrong heard that his words were full of flattery, and she was even more puzzled. Luo Min was the First Xian of Jiangsu. She was a powerful figure who could shake this place with just a stomp of her feet. Why did she think so highly of her? Listening to the words of the advisor, If not for the rules of officialdom, Lomin would have come to congratulate him personally. Holy sh * t, the Governor came in person. He must have a powerful background. What was Lao Luo trying to do?
Lin Wanrong's head started to hurt. There must be some unknown reason behind this. If it was related to politics, then it would really be a headache. A hundred thoughts raced through his mind, but Lin Wanrong was a clever person. He hurriedly replied, "What are you saying, Advisor Liu? Today, the Governor has shown us great hospitality. Today, our little shop is shining with splendor. Thanks to the Governor's high opinion of us, I am more than happy. Master Liu, please tell the Governor that I, Lin Wanrong, am extremely grateful for the Governor's kindness. "
Master Liu's eyes were filled with deep meaning. If it was a normal person, with a plaque from the Governor, they would immediately thank him and be willing to serve him. However, this Lin San was very simple. He only said two words of gratitude. This showed that he was different from others. At the very least, he was very vigilant.
Lin Wanrong also had his own difficulties. Before he could figure out Lomin's true intentions, he didn't dare to say anything about serving him. Politics was a thing. Once he got involved, he might not even know how he died. It was better to be cautious.
Although Lomin sent an advisor to deliver the plaque, with a plaque from the Governor, the grade of this restaurant was completely different. Lomin's kindness was really not light.
Next, it was some friends that Luoyuan specially found, as well as some of Dong's friends and neighbors who came to congratulate him.
Seeing that Luoyuan was really thinking about the restaurant, Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart. This Kleinloh was like his father, not a simple person. He pulled Luoyuan to the side and said directly, "Kleinloh, did your father say something to you?"
Luoyuan nodded and said, "Big Brother, Father told me to get closer to you. He also said that you are an extraordinary person and will definitely soar to the sky one day. He told me to follow you well."
"He didn't say anything else?" Lin Wanrong frowned. What medicine was this Lo selling?
Luoyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Big Brother, Father doesn't let me meddle in the affairs of the government. He only said half of what he said to me. I can only do as he says. Moreover, Big Brother's ability is outstanding. I have seen it with my own eyes. Following you will definitely not be bad. "
Lin Wanrong sighed. I was wondering why Kleinloh agreed to join Hongxing so easily that day. It turned out that Lo had already given instructions. F * ck, I really thought that my charm was attractive to both men and women.
"Then why did your family send three plaques today?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile. He didn't want to think about something he couldn't figure out. It would only damage his brain cells.
Seeing that his big brother didn't blame him, Luoyuan said happily, "Big Brother, you don't know the situation of my family. Although there are only three people in my family, we are divided into three factions. My father is in one faction, I am in another faction, and my sister is in another faction. The three of us do our own things and don't interfere with each other. You are my big brother, my sister's friend, and father values you. It's normal for the three of us to send plaques to you. Besides, father is very open-minded and never meddles with my sister and me. Otherwise, do you think I would go to a brothel so easily? "
Hehe. This Lo was indeed a little interesting. In this era, strict education was pursued, but Lomin let her children grow freely. Yet, both of them were so talented. It was no wonder that Luoyuan, this young master, wandered outside all day long, while Luo Ning, the daughter of a rich family, was also so free. Lin Wanrong was really a little interested in this Lo.
The two of them talked for a while more. Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, Lin Wanrong nodded to Dong Qingshan. Dong Qingshan then went to make the arrangements.
The crowd in front of the restaurant was waiting anxiously when they heard the sound of a gong. The door behind the platform opened. A young and quick-witted lad of about 18 or 19 years old walked to the front of the platform. He cupped his fists at the people around him and said, "Friends, fellow villagers, hello everyone. Today is the grand opening of the Food for Immortals. In order to repay everyone's kindness, we have formulated the most preferential policies. We welcome all friends to come and patronize us. Within this month, anyone who spends more than 10 taels of silver in our shop will receive a voucher worth 2 taels. This voucher cannot be used as cash. However, you can spend as much as you want in our shop. Friends who spend more than 100 taels of silver in this month will receive a VIP card from our shop. With this card, you will receive a 20% discount when you eat in our shop. In addition, our shop also has a large number of coupons. Friends who have these coupons can purchase a set meal in our shop at a discounted price … "
The lad's words flowed like a river. The staff of the Food for Immortals had already posted all kinds of preferential policies everywhere. These preferential policies were very tempting. For example, if you eat 10 taels of silver, you will get 2 taels of silver back. There were also all kinds of promotional activities with coupons, which immediately made the crowd excited.
"Young Master, did you arrange this again?" Qin Xian 'er looked at the excited crowd and asked with a smile.
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "I just made a small fortune. Miss Xian 'er, why did you expose me?"
Luo Ning laughed and said, "Big Brother Lin, I don't know how you came up with these ideas. It's so interesting. You don't even know that you've fallen for it."
Luoyuan still didn't understand and said, "How is this a scam?"
Luo Ning looked at her little brother and said, "Let's say that if you spend 10 taels of silver, you will get 2 taels of silver back in the voucher. If you use all of it, you will have used 10 taels of silver to buy something worth 12 taels of silver. Moreover, you will have spent all of it in the shop. It's only a 10% discount. Yet, people will think that they have gotten 2 taels of silver for free. As for the set meal, it's even more cunning. A tea egg, a bowl of plain noodles, and 1 tael of braised beef. If sold separately, each would cost 4 taels of silver. After using the coupons, it would only cost 1 tael of silver in total. It looks like a discount, but it's not. Because those who originally only wanted to eat Yang Chun noodles, for the sake of this discount, would have to spend a few more taels of silver to buy the beef and tea eggs. If this isn't cunning, then what is? "
Luoyuan suddenly understood and gave Lin Wanrong a thumbs up and said, "Big Brother, you're really amazing."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Miss Luo Ning, if you go into business, you will definitely be a more cunning businessman than me."
Luo Ning's face turned red and she didn't say anything.
At this time, there were already people entering the shop one after another and starting to buy cheap things. The power of a role model is endless. Seeing that someone really used the coupons to buy "cheap" things, the crowd swarmed over.
There were still many people surrounding the stage. Looking at their clothes, most of them were scholars. They were somewhat aloof and disdained to rush in to buy cheap things like others.
The young man on the stage was a quick-witted and eloquent brother that Lin Wanrong asked Dong Qingshan to pick from the hundreds of brothers in Hong Xing. He was similar to a DJ in a bar.
The young man cupped his fists and said, "In order to repay everyone's love for our shop, we have specially invited two cleaners from Myo Yuk Square, Xiaolian and Xiaocui, to present to everyone a new song composed by Miss Qin Xian 'er,' Xi Xiang '."
If it was someone else, these scholars might not know. But when it came to Myo Yuk Square and Qin Xian 'er, how could they not know? They immediately cheered loudly.
Xiaocui and Xiaolian, one dressed in a purplish-red dress and the other in a light yellow shirt, slowly walked onto the stage with graceful steps. Although these two girls were young, they were still quite beautiful and had a bit of charm to them. The two of them held hands and bowed to the audience, which attracted a lot of cheers.
With a light sound, the strings of the instrument were plucked. These were the band that Qin Xian 'er brought from Myo Yuk Square. They had specially rehearsed for' Xi Xiang 'for a period of time and were very familiar with it.
"Walking past the Xi Xiang, a fragrant scent wafts into my nose, the young lady next door is still in the middle of the flowers — —" Xiaolian held onto Xiaocui's hand, her body lightly swaying left and right, swaying along with the rhythm. As soon as the song came out, the crowd was a little surprised. This song was fresh and easy to sing, different from the songs they had heard before. What was even rarer was that this young lady's body kept swaying naturally, without the slightest bit of awkwardness. The song was also abnormally light, making people have the urge to sway along with her.
By the time she sang that part of the rap, the crowd could no longer hear anything. This half spoken half sung song was really too novel, so novel that it was hard for people to accept. But this song was so easy to sing, they didn't even have time to reject it before they had already learned it.
"I walked past the Xi Xiang again, a daydream from twelve years ago, writing about you and me back then, a water tune — —"
The two young ladies held hands and sang as they walked on the stage. In an instant, the atmosphere was pulled to the climax. The scholars downstairs boasted of their literary talent, but they had never seen such a fresh and natural singing, so they couldn't applaud. They could only give a warm applause to express their appreciation.
Among the people watching from upstairs, Lin Wanrong was the most nervous. To be honest, whether this R&B style song would be accepted by this era, he didn't have much confidence. But Qin Xian 'er was an expert in this field. She knew that this song would definitely cause a sensation, so she made a lot of improvements to the accompaniment, which resulted in today's good results.
Lin Wanrong saw that Qin Xian 'er was looking at him with a smile, as if asking him how he felt. Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up. Qin Xian' er covered her small mouth and laughed lightly. She looked at him and didn't say anything.
The scholars' mood had already been sufficiently stirred up. When they heard that the fourth and fifth floors of the Food for Immortals were called 'Wealth and Talent', and that apart from high officials and nobles, anyone who could answer one couplet correctly would be welcomed upstairs to enjoy VIP treatment, these scholars who were proud of their talents were a little moved.
That "DJ" saw that the crowd was getting excited, so he threw out the last bomb at the right time, "Let me tell everyone a piece of good news. Today, the person who will personally unveil the couplet for this' Wealth and Talent 'will be Jinling's number one talented woman, Luo Ning, Miss Luo."
"Whoosh — —" This time, the pot exploded. These scholars and prospective scholars rushed upstairs in a frenzy. The idea of having Jinling's number one talented woman personally unveil the couplet was not Lin Wanrong's idea. He smiled and said, "This is a good idea, very interesting. Qiaoqiao, you thought of this, right?"
Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly and said, "Big Brother, I learned it from you."
Lin Wanrong was elated. Damn, this Qiaoqiao is really a roundworm in my stomach. He forcefully pulled Qiaoqiao into his embrace. Looking at her flushed little face, he wanted to kiss her hard on the cheek.
Luo Ning's appearance attracted everyone's attention. She wore a smile on her face as she bowed to everyone. She took out a colored pole and picked up the four couplets one by one.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Lin Wanrong laughed heartily and said, "Alright, our grand opening is a success. Today, the boss will treat everyone to a banquet. I hope that our restaurant's business will continue to flourish and prosper."
In this day and age, such a grand opening ceremony was indeed quite sensational. Lin Wanrong's promotional methods had already spread throughout Jinling City in just a few days. Especially the 'Wealth and Talent' couplet, it attracted the attention of all the scholars in Jinling City.
As a result, the entire Jinling knew that a new restaurant called Food for Immortals had opened up. It had a fresh and elegant style, and even the Governor personally wrote the words. Jinling's number one talented women opened the door for it, and countless scholars flocked to it like ducks.
It was impossible for the restaurant's business to not be good. After three days of opening, the gross profit was actually more than a thousand taels of silver.
At this time, Lin Wanrong did not have the time to care about the restaurant. This was because the renovation of the perfume workshop had already been completed, and the first batch of experimental products was about to be produced.
