Chapter 274: The Opening

However, to everyone’s surprise, the plaque no longer said Jinyun Pavilion, but Linyue Pavilion.
Linyue Pavilion? Why would they change the store name for the reopening?
Someone asked curiously, “hey, manager li, why do you have to change the name of your shop when it’s reopened?”
Li Huaisheng laughed and said, “since we’re re-opening, of course, we have to have a new name, right?” He didn’t explain much.
Li Huaisheng’s explanation was somewhat reasonable, so no one asked further.
In fact, the change of the name to Linyue Pavilion was that the owner of the shop had changed. Linyue also meant observance of happiness in Chinese. However, no one would have thought that Lin Yuelan currently owned Linyue Pavilion.
There were people playing gongs and drums in front of the new shop, and there was even a group of lion dances. A mighty lion was dancing around a square table. The lion was very realistic. It opened its bloody mouth and blinked its eyes in great spirit. It shook its head. Sometimes, it stood on two feet, and then it walked upside down. Then, another lion came and climbed onto the first lion’s neck. The dance was very complicated. The crowd clapped and cheered.
Then, the two lions climbed up to the highest point of the four square tables and stopped. Then, the lions suddenly spat out a couplet from their bloody mouths.
‘Welcoming guests from all over the place. The stream of guests will never stop.
‘Serving the customers is our duty. We hope you enjoy the new clothes.’
The crowd of onlookers kept cheering.
“Alright!”
When the scholars in the crowd read the couplet, they were impressed.
This couplet was simple and neat, and its meaning was clear. The first line was to welcome the guests, and the second line was to express the store’s duty.

Of course, some of the store managers who were watching sneered and said coldly, “They sure are arrogant.”
The shopkeeper of Xiangyun Pavilion, Zhang Wu, snorted contemptuously and said, “They sure have great dreams. I’d like to see how the half-dead Jinyun Pavilion would have endless customers.”
Lin Yuelan was standing not far away from Zhang Wu. When she saw his contemptuous look, her expression turned cold, and then she sneered, ‘We’ll see how long he can keep up this attitude!’
After the red cloth was removed, Li Huaisheng cupped his fists again and said to everyone, “Linyue Pavilion is officially open. Please enter the store with your card. For the first ten customers who buy the goods, the store will charge 80% of the fees, and there’s also a small gift!”
The offer of a small gift was very rare.
As soon as Li Huaisheng finished speaking, three young men and three young women in the same uniform walked out of the store in a neat formation and stood on both sides of the door. They smiled, half-bent their backs, and said to the crowd, “Welcome to our store!”
A man and a woman were holding a wooden tray with?bamboo cards that had numbers like 1,2,3 carved out on them.
Everyone was amazed.
When the crowd heard that they had to take turns entering the shop, someone shouted in dissatisfaction, “manager Li, what is this? Why do we need to pick a card to enter the shop?”
