The Triennial Fruit and Vegetable Expo can be said to be a grand event in the interstellar era, and people have been waiting to buy tickets since a long time ago. The entire exhibition lasted for fifteen days, but considering the population base, the organizer still limited the number of tickets sold per day.
There are still a few ways to get tickets, which are not much different from before the interstellar era. Tickets can be purchased on the Star Network, on-site, events organized by cooperative channels, and internal tickets obtained by people with a way.
The StarNet ticket sales have long been sold out, and the on-site tickets are pre-sold before the exhibition starts, which is at 6:30 in the morning, but it is said that at 2 in the morning, people are already queuing up.
Nowadays, every home with a moderately decent life will have a housekeeping robot. In order to prevent the ticket window from being occupied by a bunch of gangsters a few days ago, people have always been required to queue up, and their citizen IDs have been restricted. Only purchases for family members are allowed.
Of course, some people will sell their current rank in the team after reaching a similar position. This behavior does not violate the rules. As long as the negotiation between the two parties goes smoothly, no one will care about it.
Today is the opening day of the Fruit and Vegetable Expo. Zhang Jinchao has been waiting in the queue early. He came at one o’clock in the morning, fearing that he would miss this opportunity if he was late.
He does not come here simply to enjoy the delicious food, but more for family business. Zhang Jinchao has opened the shop for more than 30 years. It is tepid, but it is enough to support a family.
But starting last year, the farms he originally cooperated with changed owners, and the new sellers had their own sales channels and were unwilling to supply small shop owners like him.
Zhang Jinchao suddenly lost his source of purchase. Although he found a few more after that, neither the quality of fruits and vegetables nor the purifiers they hired were as good as the first one. As a result, the family’s business has gone from bad to worse in the past two years, and they were separated. The newly opened fruit shop on one street was so crowded that he could no longer operate.
Therefore, his purpose for this Expo is to find a farm with which he can cooperate for a long time so that his store can continue to operate and find a way to survive. Otherwise, the store will be closed. His parents are old and his son and daughter are still in school. What will the family eat?
With an uneasy mood, Zhang Jinchao stood at the front of the queue, waiting for the door to open and sell tickets. The news from the official website is that 5,000 on-site tickets will be sold today, but only 20 windows are open. Considering that the speed of each window is different, no one can guarantee that they will get in before getting the tickets.
Fortunately, God finally favored Zhang Jinchao this time after two years, allowing him to buy consecutive tickets for up to three days as he wished. The moment he turned off the optical brain, Zhang Jinchao breathed a sigh of relief, left the team, found a place to rest, closed his eyes and took a nap.
…
In the venue, the booth of Lin Nuo and others has been set up a long time ago. The location is a bit off. It was determined based on the trading volume ranking of the last Expo. Therefore, even if Foka Star has her as a purification master sitting in charge this time, it will not be able to change the location to a prominent place.
“It’s okay. If you drink well, you won’t have to worry about the alley. The organizer didn’t lock us all in our positions. We just send people out to promote.” Lin Nuo is very skilled in this kind of thing. She is a woman who has practiced by setting up stalls herself. This is a small thing. The trouble is nothing; it will be solved in minutes.
“Promote sales?” The deputy leader who followed agreed simply, “Okay! I’ll send someone to carry your sign to the intersection and pull all the customers back!”
Lin Nuo: “How do you want to pull people in?”
The deputy leader said honestly: “Just tell them that there are fruits purified by the purification master, and let them come quickly.”
Lin Nuo raised his head and said: “… That’s not how the title of purification master is used.”
She stopped the deputy leader. Despite his silly behavior, Lin Nuo said seriously: “I am a master of purification after all. If you rush me like this, others will think it is a gimmick. Didn’t I ask you to print a batch of things before? Where did you put them? Take them out quickly. ”
The president went to sit on the rostrum over there to chat with others, while Gu Han was sent by Lin Nuo to contact the research institute. After hiding his identity for a few days, it was almost time to reveal the truth.
So now at the booth, apart from Lin Nuo, the transcendent master of purification, the only one who is qualified to mobilize manpower is the iron-head-like deputy leader. Fortunately, he got the president’s orders and obeyed Lin Nuo’s advice, so there would be no chance of his own people getting in the way.
“Oh, oh!”
The deputy leader quickly ordered people to bring the things up. It turned out that this thing was indeed prepared by Lin Nuo. He had also read the content, and it seemed to be related to a game. Although he didn’t understand why this was used at the Expo, he was used to obeying orders, so he prepared it properly and sealed the box himself without revealing the contents to a third person.
“Very good.” Lin Nuo was very satisfied with the deputy leader’s ability to act. He took out a black-gilded envelope from the newly opened box and sealed it with ancient red paint. The pattern was Lin Nuo’s private seal, that is, the store logo with the word “古” that she designed together with Gu Han before.
On the back of the envelope were printed a few short words: To the brave men who are willing to participate in the adventure. The signature is Lin Nuo’s name, plus a public emblem representing the identity of the purification master, which is used to prove that this is neither a scam nor a joke.
After opening the envelope, there was an invitation card with the same color and gold foil on a black background. It used an RPG game-style narrative to show that this was an adventure about treasures. She hoped all the warriors can help find the lost treasures.
In addition, there is also a game description, which clearly states the rules of the competition, the time limit, and what kind of rewards you will get. The deputy leader didn’t know what others thought, but after seeing it at that time, he wanted to shamelessly ask Lin Nuo if one of his own could participate.
That’s a one-year VIP membership service provided by “Delicacies of the Ancient Earth”. You don’t have to wait for time to rush to buy, and you don’t have to go directly to the store to queue up. You just need to place an order and it will be available at a 12% discount.
In addition to this, there are also gifts on site. Lin Nuo will personally purify a dozen thorn tomatoes as prizes. You can eat them on the spot or take them back for cooking and juicing. It’s up to you.
Why not use other fruits, such as strawberries and peaches that are so popular in the store? Of course, it’s because this is a specialty Fruit and Vegetable Expo jointly organized by various planets. The only fruits and vegetables that they can get from Foka Planet are thorn tomatoes.
“After a round of searching, and he gets the prize at the end. Who wouldn’t cherish the fruits of their labor? And with the added bonus of me being a master of purification, you have to give me some face, try it, right? Eat one, take two After eating and spreading word of mouth, our reputation will naturally spread. It is much easier than standing on the road and shouting.”
After Lin Nuo finished speaking, he paused and summarized the plan: “Remember to accept it. The money and envelopes are not given for free. They are 10 Star Coins each. I don’t know how to cherish the money. Even if I spend a little money, I will not just throw it away.”
The group leader nodded in agreement, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt. Lin Nuo made sense. Seeing that she had no other instructions, he quickly called for people, divided the envelopes in the box, and sent them to various entrances, waiting for the visitors to officially enter.
Lin Nuo herself wasn’t worried at all. Since it was a puzzle-treasure game, there would definitely be more than just clues on the way. She had already arranged for some other people to act as NPCs and went to the selected place in the venue in advance, waiting for the players to find them and give some rewards after answering the clues correctly.
For example, the small-size products in her store, such as the tomato juice that is beautifully packaged and acts as an energy potion, and the specialties of the organizer of this event, The Imperial City, grapes that are particularly familiar to the locals… Well, everyone is only given one grape pearl. Lin Nuo can’t afford it if they eat too much.
Anyway, these are given out as rewards during the game, not advertising for other companies. The ultimate goal is to attract people to your booth. Don’t worry about orders or not, at least let’s get the buzz going today.
As the popularity goes up, more people will pay attention to it. After Thorn Tomato became famous, it will enter the time when the Foka Star Purifier Association became picky in accepting orders.
…
At 8 o’clock in the morning, all the entrances to the Expo were opened, and visitors who had been waiting impatiently filed in. They had already studied the map and should have rushed to their favorite stalls, but now they were blocked by the road. They were attracted by a few strange people.
“Does anyone want to participate in the treasure hunt game designed by the master of purification? 10 Star Coins per initial information, great prizes~”
Zhang Jinchao was one of the people who was attracted. He was not interested in the treasure hunt game, but he caught it with his ears. After the words “Purification Master”, his mind was spinning rapidly, his heart was pounding, and his feet were as if they were nailed to the ground. He could not move a step. He felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for might have really appeared.
Master of Purification, that is a living sign. With this blessing, making money every day may be exaggerated, but it is still possible to restore the previous prosperity of business.
Zhang Jinchao thought for only a few seconds and immediately made a decision. Since the childlike innocence of the purification master was still intact, he had to play with her, otherwise he might not even be qualified to meet her.
As a man of action, Zhang Jinchao would not hesitate when he made up his mind. While others were still waiting curiously, he squeezed past and bought the first envelope at the entrance of the seventh aisle.
If the other party hadn’t emphasized that the Purification Master had ordered that one citizen ID could only buy one copy, Zhang Jinchao even wanted to put all the envelopes in his pocket, but since the other party didn’t want him to do so, he had to leave with regret.
Then, it was time for the treasure hunt. He hurriedly opened the envelope, read the rules and invitations in detail, carefully put them away in the chest bag that was slung across his body, took long steps and ran towards the first place mentioned in the clues.
Behind him, many people bought envelopes and joined in the fun, and also participated in this seemingly interesting treasure hunt game.
This kind of thing happened near every entrance. Soon, the 500 seals prepared by Lin Nuo were all sold out. As time went by, more and more people found the treasure, and surprises gradually spread among the guests.
At this point, Lin Nuo’s promotion plan was half successful.
The rest is to wait until they all arrive at the fruit and vegetable booth of Foka Star to select traders who are likely to cooperate.
The author has something to say: Speaking of which, I decided to go to the Forbidden City this week. Taking advantage of the restrictions on the number of people visiting the Forbidden City, I thought that there would probably be no more than 8,000 people visiting the Forbidden City in the future, so I thought of going there as soon as possible.
My gay friend asked me: What if you go there and accidentally travel through time?
Me: …Have you ever seen someone time travelling with her mother?
Friend: What if?
I thought about it: At least I have finished writing the book in hand and put it in the manuscript box, so it won’t be a trap for readers.
Motor oil is speechless.
I won the final victory, hahahaha.
[But I don’t want to transmigrate]
