Chapter 223 Gong

Upon hearing this, Gu Junqing put down the teacup in his hand, and then said to Gu Jiyan: "What you said makes sense, but I don't know what Master Xue is thinking. Let's see what happens next."

In fact, what Gu Junqing wanted to say more was that she didn't know what Xue Ben would do next. She just instinctively believed that Xue Ben would definitely find a way to resolve the current predicament.

He won't let her down.

Xue Ben knew that Gu Junqing still had Gu Jiyan watching the situation on his side from the small teahouse outside. He stood beside the shopkeeper and thought, an hour has passed and it will be noon soon. If there is no result in the afternoon, then the sales in the future will definitely be bad.

If the sales are not good, wouldn't that mean I have failed the expectations of General Gu and others?

Naturally, he didn't want to see this situation, so he had to think of a way, just like organizing an event now.

Activities that can attract people's attention.

Xue Ben thought for a long time, paced back and forth in the store for a long time, and finally came up with this idea.

His eyes lit up, and he called the shopkeeper behind him and the idle waiter over.

Gu Junqing was watching outside. She drank a little too much tea on the table. She put down the teacup and turned to look at the pastry shop not far away, thinking that she would eat something to relieve her boredom. However, before she could propose it to Gu Jiyan, one of the two waiters who were still in the shop came out.

He looked around. Gu Junqing thought he was here to see if there were any passersby nearby and invite them in, but when the waiter saw them and walked towards them, he knew he was here to see them. After Gu Junqing paid for the tea, the waiter didn't need to walk a few steps forward, but they walked over by themselves.

The waiter just happened to walk in front of Gu Junqing, and when he saw them coming over, he hurriedly said, "General Gu, Master Gu, Master Xue said that we need to go into the store to discuss something."

Gu Junqing nodded to show that he understood.

The three of them came back. Gu Junqing looked up and saw rows of neatly decorated counters. Each counter had five wooden boards on top. Bottles of incense were placed on top of the boards, and each was labeled with a type of floral scent.

Only two people can stand at the front desk, that is, the shopkeeper and the waiter, and the other waiter stands near the door.

"Brother Xue, is there something that called us back?"

Gu Jiyan, who was standing in front of Gu Junqing, asked doubtfully.

"That's right. I have thought of a way to better attract the public. As for this activity, I have this idea: put a larger wooden sign outside the door with paper on it to write the content of the activity. People passing by will naturally come in to take a look out of curiosity. Once they come in, everything will be much easier."

Xue Bendao.

Gu Junqing was a little curious when he heard this: "What activity? Tell me about it."

"Buy one get one free starts with a low price to attract a wave of people to come and see. When the price is almost right, raise it up, but still include gifts, so that customers feel that they are not losing out. This is the best way to attract more people."

After finishing speaking, Xue Ben looked up at the two people in front of him, especially at Gu Junqing, looking at her with anticipation in his eyes, as if expecting their approval.

Gu Junqing and Gu Jiyan, who were standing face to face in front of him, looked at each other and saw recognition in each other's eyes.

Gu Junqing nodded, smiled and praised: "Good idea, this plan is very novel and feasible, let's listen to Master Xue's plan and give it a try"

Hearing Gu Junqing's praise, Xue Ben smiled a little embarrassedly. He first thanked Gu Junqing for what he had just said, and then said:

"But now perhaps we still need General Gu and Prince Gu to help us again."

Gu Jiyan was still listening to them talking, but when he heard Xue Ben mention him, he looked at them blankly for a moment.

"what happened?"

"Although this store has a good location, we also know that there are new stores next door and on the other side. Now people are going there to join in the fun, and there are almost no people outside our store, so we have to do something to make people pay attention to us."

Gu Jiyan was still a little confused, but he thought of something, turned to look at Gu Junqing, frowned at Xue Ben, and asked in confusion: "Do you want me and General Gu to show up outside together to attract the people?" This is too ridiculous.

Xue Ben laughed and shook his head when he heard this, "How is that possible? It's just that I will need to rely on external objects to attract people from now on. I don't want to do this unless it's absolutely necessary."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Junqing and the other two were somewhat puzzled by his laughter, but they did not ask any questions and focused their attention directly on the wooden sign.

They remember to find the right planks.

The shop door was still open, but Xue Ben, Gu Junqing and the other two did not wait in the front hall for people to come in. Instead, they let the shopkeeper and the waiter handle it.

They went to the resting area in the back hall to take care of the activities.

These are not troublesome and will be done soon. The key point is what attracts people to come here. What is the foreign object mentioned by Xue Ben? Then Gu Junqing and Gu Jiyan saw the three pairs of dusty bronze gongs placed in the corner of the wall.

Gu Junqing, Gu Jiyan: "..."

Ah, this is a bit powerful.

Luckily it wasn't them who knocked.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Ben, who was ready to use external force to attract customers, took the gongs to the front hall, wiped them clean, and placed them on the table.

"Will it start this afternoon?" Gu Jiyan asked, looking at the gong on the table.

"Yes, it's almost noon now, let's go have lunch first. Not many people come this morning..."

As soon as Xue Ben finished speaking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw two people suddenly coming in from the door, a man and a woman. They behaved generously, had intimate gestures, and were dressed exquisitely. They looked like a couple. Seeing the strange behavior of the three of them sitting around the table and looking at the gong, they were stunned for a moment, as if wondering what they were doing. If a normal person saw them, they would think that the three of them were sick, but the two in front of him used their good upbringing to stop the surprise in their eyes, and kept smiling, then turned around and ignored them, and turned to look at the bottles and jars of incense on the cabinet.

No one was expected to come for three days, so they hurriedly put away the gong on the table. However, Xue Ben still had to entertain the two new guests, so only Gu Junqing and Gu Jiyan cleaned up the things on the table.

In order to prevent the customers from continuing to laugh at the joke, Gu Jiyan held two pairs in his hand, and Gu Junqing only had time to take one pair.
