Chapter 1573: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1573: Consolation Prize
Ignoring the discussions among the others, Shu Yu addressed the middle-aged man, "Congratulations on winning the prize. Please follow our staff to collect your reward."
The first customer, beaming with joy, took a couple of steps but suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about the reward for the fifth prize. He hurriedly inquired, "What's the prize?"
Shu Yu smiled and walked over to the table where the prizes were placed, which were covered with red cloth.
She replied, "After everyone wins their prizes, I'll reveal them by uncovering the cloth. For now, let's keep it a little mysterious."
The crowd was disappointed; they wanted to know what the first prize was.
Meanwhile, Shu Yu had already reached the fifth prize and lifted the red cloth.
Everyone fixed their gaze on it, and to their surprise, it was... instant noodles?
Shu Yu explained, "The fifth prize has fifty winners, and each winner gets three packs of instant noodles."
Instant noodles were a proper meal, and there weren't many shops selling them now. Many people had never tried them before.
For just two or three hundred wen worth of sunflower seeds, they could get three packs, which would be enough for a family of three to have lunch. Even at the noodle stalls outside, the cheapest noodles cost five wen, and these instant noodles were of better quality, comparable to those served in noodle shops that cost more than ten wen.
Three packs of noodles were worth at least thirty or forty wen.
The first customer was overjoyed and accepted the three packs of instant noodles from Yingxi. He said to Shu Yu, "This is a truly substantial prize! I really got lucky."
After winning the prize, he didn't leave but stayed to see what other rewards there were.
Soon, the second person approached, looking excited.
She also wanted three packs of instant noodles. She had heard that they were incredibly convenient to eat—just pour hot water over them, cover them for a short while, and they'd be ready to eat. No need to spend so much time lighting a fire and kneading the dough.
Now she didn't desire anything else; she only wanted three packs of instant noodles.
As she reached into the box, she felt a handful of slips inside and began picking one after another, unable to decide.
Someone behind her urged, "Hurry up! We're all waiting."
"Okay, okay, just a moment."
Finally, she grasped a slip, feeling nervous, and took it out. She took a deep breath and opened it to look.
But what was this? She couldn't read much, just three complex-looking characters; there were no numbers like one, two, three, four, or five.
She became anxious and quickly showed it to Shu Yu, "Madam Lu, please take a look for me. Did I not win anything?"
Shu Yu glanced at it and smiled, "This is a consolation prize."
"Consolation prize?" The crowd didn't understand. "What's the consolation prize?"
Shu Yu walked to the prize table and uncovered the cloth that covered the consolation prize.
Everyone saw a small... what was this thing? They had never seen it before.
The person who drew the slip furrowed her brow, "The consolation prize is just this small thing? What is it?"
She reached out to touch it, but Shu Yu stopped her, "Don't rush. This is just a sample. This thing is called popcorn, and the consolation prize is a bag of popcorn. Please wait a moment; someone will bring it out soon."
Popcorn... what was that? Some kind of flower?
Many people had never seen it before.
Yingxi went to the backyard and returned shortly with a basket full of oil-paper-wrapped packets.
This wasn't unusual, but what surprised everyone was the rich aroma that wafted out when the packets appeared.
"It smells so good."
