Chapter 27 The downstairs couplet of the restaurant
After that, the middle-aged man paid the money and left with satisfaction carrying the potatoes.
Li Youran is also in a very good mood. The fame of his dishes has obviously begun to spread slowly.
After selling for a while, all the remaining eggs were sold.
Today is another fruitful day.
It's almost 12 noon, so as usual, I go to the city for lunch and then go back.
Enter the city from the East Gate.
The downstairs of a restaurant not far from the city gate is very lively. It seems that the restaurant has newly opened today. What activities are being held?
Li Youran walked over curiously.
indeed so.
The name of the restaurant is Zuixiao Tower, which is quite an old-style name. Judging from the appearance, the decoration style is also quite old-style.
It is four stories high, with high eaves and carved beams and painted pillars.
This is a retro restaurant. This kind of restaurant is quite popular now and is very popular with everyone.
Li Youran also likes it very much.
On one side of the restaurant's door, there is a couplet engraved on it, which reads, "Where are our guests? Listening to the bright moon and the sound of the flute, I can vaguely see Yingzhou."
Yingzhou, the legendary fairy mountain in the East China Sea, is a place of fairyland.
Then, the meaning of this first couplet is very obvious. It means that the guests who come here are all vaguely from the land of fairyland.
This means that the guests are all immortals.
This first couplet is very good, and all the guests who gathered around to watch the excitement praised it.
Li Youran also gave a thumbs up secretly. This is a great couplet. The guests who go to the restaurant to eat are all immortals. Can the guests not go?
This couplet alone will probably attract a lot of customers to come and spend money.
High, really high.
It's a pity that there is only the upper couplet but no lower couplet. On the other side of the gate, there is nothing.
Ask again.
It turns out that the reason why this place is so lively is precisely related to this first couplet.
The restaurant invites people to answer the second line. If anyone can answer the second line, the person will be recognized by the restaurant.
Then, the restaurant will give him a special VIP card. The card contains an amount of 30,000 yuan, which can be spent in the restaurant and has no expiration date.
Moreover, after spending the 30,000 yuan in the card, you can also enjoy a permanent 40% discount on future purchases in restaurants with the card.
Also, his second line will be engraved on the other side of the door for every guest entering and exiting the restaurant to appreciate and appreciate.
This event is very attractive. Not only does the special VIP card carry a sum of up to 30,000 yuan, but you will also enjoy a permanent 40% discount after that. Simply speaking, it is also a very honorable thing to engrave your second couplet on the side of the door.
.
Think about it, in the future, guests coming in and out of the restaurant will be able to see your own line, and maybe they will appreciate it and taste it. How great would it feel?
Therefore, the event attracted many people to watch and was very lively.
No matter how good your couplet skills are, everyone is thinking about the second couplet. What if you are lucky enough to win the second couplet and get picked up by a restaurant?
I heard that more than a dozen people had submitted the second line this morning, but unfortunately none of them were picked up by the restaurant.
However, even so, the restaurant still gave away 500 yuan in consumer coupons to everyone who responded to the letter to express its gratitude for their support.
The atmosphere of the restaurant also attracted praise from the guests.
It also makes the guests more motivated. Even if they are not favored by the restaurant, it is still good to get a 500 yuan consumption voucher.
I heard that this incident has spread throughout Izumo City. Although many people did not come to the scene, they were also actively responding to the letter.
After the second couplet is written, it is not too late to come back to the scene.
Couplets, like poems, are still very popular today, and many people like them very much.
This is true all over the country, and the people of Izumo City are no exception.
interesting.
Li Youran also became very interested.
He also began to think about the second couplet. After getting the copy of "Li Weng's Rhymes" yesterday, he felt that his level of couplets had been greatly improved.
Maybe we can actually match the second line.
Think about it.
"Where are the guests? Listening to the bright moon and the sound of the flute, I can vaguely see Yingzhou..."
Suddenly, Li Youran felt excited, and he seemed to have figured out the second line.
After careful consideration, I found that yes, the second line was correct.
Moreover, Li Youran himself was very satisfied.
If that's the case, then go ahead and write out the second couplet and see if it can be picked up by the restaurant.
This feeling of anticipation is very good, Li Youran likes it very much.
After anyone writes the second line, they can go directly to a long table on the left side of the gate to write the second line.
There are restaurant staff there to receive and serve you.
Li Youran no longer hesitated, walked out of the crowd, and walked to the long table on the left side of the door.
This step out soon became the focus of the onlookers' eyes.
"Has this young man made the second line?"
"Probably. Otherwise, why would he go there?"
Seeing that someone else had written the second line, the onlookers were curious, expectant, and slightly excited, but also felt a little worried and regretful.
Needless to say, curiosity and expectation.
The worry and regret are because if the other party's second line is taken by the restaurant, I will have no chance.
"Huh? Isn't that the young man selling vegetables at the stall outside the east gate?"
"It's really him. He sells potatoes for 10 yuan a pound. He's just selling them blindly. Isn't he guarding his vegetable stall? Why is he here?"
"Maybe he came here specially after hearing about what happened here. After all, as long as the couplet is matched, even if he is not chosen by the restaurant, he still has a 500 yuan consumption coupon. Even if he sells potatoes for 10 yuan a piece
, this will cost 50 kilograms of potatoes. By the way, can his potatoes really be sold?"
"I don't know if the potatoes can be sold. But he can match the second couplet, which is quite a skill!"
"Let's see what his second line is like first. This is not a random match, as long as the number of words is the same. In that case, everyone can match the second line and get a 500 yuan consumer coupon."
"That's for sure. Although those corresponding second lines were not favored by the restaurant, they are all real second lines, not just a few words. There is no 500 yuan coupon for a second line that makes up the number of words, and the restaurant is not stupid."
"..."
This is not far from the East Gate.
Therefore, as soon as Li Youran walked out, someone recognized him.
He is young and the food is so expensive, so it is easy for him to leave an impression on others.
Everyone was talking a lot.
Li Youran ignored everyone's comments and walked straight to the long table on the left side of the door.
A rather pretty girl saw him, smiled politely, and asked, "Do you have a second couplet, sir?"
Li Youran nodded, "I suddenly feel inspired, write it down and try it."
The girl said: "Okay, sir, please!"
On the long table, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones are all ready. You can just pick up the pen and dip it in the ink to write.
Li Youran said "Okay."
Then he picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote: "Master, don't ask, borrow a spring breeze pen to paint Izumo."
