Chapter 173 Queueing up to receive bamboo pieces

After listening to Song Qingci's plan and Song Xin's explanation, Liu Qi also felt that this approach was a very good one.

Many businesses have encountered such problems, but they are perfunctory. The businesses that can return all the deposits are considered good. After all, no one who can open a store in Tongyifang has no background.

Even if you can't really do anything to the guests, it's better not to offend them if you can.

Most people take the attitude that it is better to have less trouble than more.

He was almost on the verge of agreeing.

However, when he thought of the money he had not yet received, he changed his mind. Anyway, he was about to return home, so it didn't matter whether he offended anyone or not.

Those merchants would not pursue him relentlessly just to cause trouble for a poor scholar like him.

"Mr. Boss, are these so-called free banquet cards only for those who paid the deposit? Or are they for everyone present?!"

"Besides, this so-called free, is it a complete table like the tea banquet, or just two random dishes to fool us? There is a huge difference here."

Liu Qi did not forget to ask the people around him, "Do you think I am right?! We need to make this clear now. If we don't make it clear, they will deny it in the future, and our money will be wasted."

"Yes! Is this only for those who paid the deposit, or for everyone who comes to the banquet? ! "Those who want to take advantage naturally follow Liu Qi's words.

"If everyone attending the banquet has it, then those of us who are just watching the fun can also have it!"

"Yes, sir! Now that you've said it, why not be generous! Everyone who sees it gets a share!"

"That's right, Mr. Boss, you have to explain it clearly! Is it a free meal for using the card, or is it just a bowl of plain noodles? ! "

People who come to watch the fun naturally don't mind big things.

Bewitched by Liu Qi, many people followed suit.

Among them were people who simply came to the banquet, and also those who were just passers-by, who had nothing to do with today's incident.

Anyway, the law does not hold everyone responsible.

There are so many people here today, there is nothing we can do even if we want to investigate.

Shopkeeper Zheng saw that the crowd, which had originally calmed down, became noisy again. He was afraid that those people would bump into the young lady in excitement, so he quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Song Qingci.

Song Xin had the same reaction at this time. She stood in front of Song Qingci and used her body to block Song Qingci behind her.

"Everyone, everyone, don't get excited, please speak slowly if you have anything to say," Shopkeeper Zheng tried to dissuade them in vain.

In this situation, the more you say this, the more excited people will get.

If nothing else, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is human nature.

Song Qingci and Liu Qi looked at each other, and Liu Qi quickly looked away.

Song Qingci subconsciously wanted to use the loudspeaker to speak, but she realized that she couldn't use it in this situation. So she had to adjust her body slightly and use her inner strength to speak.

The effect is similar to that of a loudspeaker, except that people have to keep exerting themselves, which can be very tiring.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Listen to me." Song Qingci said this with his inner strength.

People who were close to her were stunned for a moment, but those who were far away could hear it very clearly.

Such a voice coupled with Song Qingci's silent expression made him look intimidating without even being angry.

For a moment, everyone who heard her voice fell silent.

The scene fell silent instantly.

"Due to the staff transfer and the adjustment of the new menu, the Moon Viewing House needs a ten-day closing period. After ten days, the Moon Viewing House will meet you again with a brand new look."

"Today, each guest who cannot hold the banquet normally due to the mistake of Moon Viewing Tower will be given a free banquet card. Ten days later, with this card, you can come to Moon Viewing Tower to exchange for a table of six for free."

"As for the others present today, you can also go to Shopkeeper Zheng to get a snack card. Ten days later, you can use this card to come to the Moon Viewing Tower to get a snack."

After Song Qingci finished speaking, she didn't care about the reactions of the people at the scene. She gave Song Xin a wink and turned directly into the Moon Viewing Tower.

Although Manager Zheng was shocked by the young lady's words, he was tactful enough not to raise any objections and continued with what she said.

And arranged for several servants who were temporarily transferred to maintain order.

Song Xin took the initiative to take charge of the task of writing the cards.

She asked one of the servants to find her some shaved bamboo strips. Although she didn't know what the card the young lady was talking about was, she had her own ideas based on the young lady's description.

Writing on paper is not only expensive, but also difficult to preserve.

If we use shaved bamboo strips instead, it will not only be much cheaper, but also easier to recycle and preserve.

It is also convenient for marking.

The servant was very efficient in his work. He quickly brought boxes of pre-cut bamboo strips of basically uniform size and thickness. Each one was two fingers wide and one finger long.

Song Xin sat down at the wooden table that was moved to the entrance of the Moon Viewing Tower, picked up a pen and began to write on each bamboo piece.

The bamboo slip with the word "宴" (banquet) on it represents a banquet card, and the one with "小食" (snack) on it represents a snack card.

Song Xin also found a very old pair of tongs from the kitchen and brought a pot of charcoal fire.

Use red-hot pliers to burn a mark on the lower right corner of the back of the bamboo strip.

This pair of pliers shows obvious signs of use, and the marks left by them are unique, which can be regarded as a simple anti-counterfeiting mark.

Song Xin was responsible for writing on the bamboo slips, while Manager Zheng was responsible for recording on the side. If the customer had paid a deposit before, he was also responsible for refunding the deposit in full.

There was also a servant who was responsible for stamping the bamboo strips. Another servant was responsible for maintaining order and preventing people from causing a commotion.

Everyone proceeded in an orderly manner under Song Xin's command.

There were nearly a hundred people at the scene, but there was not a trace of panic.

Everyone followed the instructions and lined up to get their number plates.

Liu Qi felt very unwilling when he received the bamboo slip with the word "Banquet" written on it and the returned deposit.

I thought there would be a commotion, but in the end, the female owner dismissed them with just a few words. Although the Moon Viewing Tower had suffered a huge loss, its reputation had not deteriorated, but was on the rise.

People who are queuing up to get their cards are now basically saying that the owner of the Moon Viewing Tower is generous and knows how to behave.

If there are any banquets in the future, Moon Viewing Tower will definitely be the first choice.

If this matter is not done well, will he still be able to get the money later? !

The deposit for the tea feast at the Moon Viewing Tower was only five taels of silver. But the man promised that if he could get the job done, he would give him one hundred taels of silver.

Between five taels and one hundred taels, even a fool would know which one to choose.
