Chapter 560 Christmas Eve Eve
Chapter 560 Christmas Eve Eve
On the afternoon before Christmas Eve, Lu Cheng suddenly received a call from He Min: "Ah Cheng, can you spend Christmas Eve with me?"
"Amin, of course I want to spend a wonderful Christmas Eve with you, but I have a mission to complete, and tomorrow night is especially critical. So, where are you now?"
"I'm helping my mom run the flower shop. The shop is very busy today, with many people coming to order flowers."
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
More than half an hour later, Lu Cheng rode his motorcycle to the flower shop and saw He Min and her mother busy greeting customers.
Lu Cheng didn't hesitate to walk into the store and greeted He Min and He's mother: "Aunt, Amin, I'm here to help you."
"Ah Cheng is here, go sit down, you don't have to worry about anything."
"Aunt, you should go and have a rest. Amin and I will be fine."
"Hey, okay, okay."
Afterwards, Lu Cheng took a look at the somewhat monotonous facade and glass windows, as well as the blank blackboard against the wall. He picked up a white pen and wrote a sentence on the glass window: "Life is not only about poetry and distant places, but also about the fragrance of flowers."
Lu Cheng wrote this slogan in an artistic way and drew a red rose at the back with a colored pen, instantly adding a bit of color to the monotonous glass window.
He Min walked to the window, glanced at the words on the glass window, and couldn't help nodding repeatedly: "It's really well written, the lyrics are good, the calligraphy is good, and the painting is also good. Ah Cheng, I didn't know you had this ability?"
"There's a lot you don't know. I'll tell you slowly later."
Then, Lu Cheng lowered his head and wrote a line of words on the blackboard with a bracket: "Love yourself, start with a flower."
After writing, Lu Cheng found a colorful light from the store, hung it around the blackboard, and placed it outside the door, instantly attracting a large number of customers.
After doing all this, Lu Cheng still felt a little monotonous. He looked up and saw a store across the street with several red dice the size of basketballs on display. He walked over and discussed with the store owner and bought three large dice.
Later, Lu Cheng returned to the flower shop and said to He Min, "Let's try a different way to sell flowers today."
"How to sell it?"
"Toss the dice and sell flowers."
Two customers nearby immediately became interested: "Throwing dice to sell flowers? How do you play this?"
"The gameplay is very simple. For example, if the bouquet you want to buy costs 10 yuan, you can choose to buy it with money or roll the dice. It only takes 16%, or yuan, to roll the dice once. As long as the points reach or above, you can get the bouquet directly.
If you roll the dice 11 times in a row and still don't win, you can still have this bouquet of flowers, even if you bought it. How about it? Do you want to try it?"
"That sounds fun, I'm going to try it."
"Sir, the room is small, let's go to the door to toss the dice."
"Yeah."
Lu Cheng looked at He Min again: "Amin, is there any speaker in the store? Play some festive music."
"Okay, I'll go right away..."
Relying on some tricks from later generations, Lu Cheng quickly gathered a large number of customers in front of the store. Many of those who had not originally planned to buy flowers also came over after seeing how lively it was here.
As more and more people gathered, some people couldn't help but come over and try to throw the dice.
三个骰子,看似只有3~18点,抛到16、17、18的概率好像并不低。实际上,三颗骰子的所有组合为6*6*6,总共216种情况。而18点和3点都只有一种情况,概率为1/216。
抛出17点和16点的分别有3种和6种。也就是说,这三颗骰子抛出16点及其以上的概率为10/216,还不到二十分之一。
From a probabilistic point of view, buying flowers in this way is very likely to be more expensive than buying them directly.
But people all have a gambler's mentality, and they always feel that they are the lucky ones. Moreover, even if they fail in the end, at most they will only get 10% more than the normal price, and they can still have fun.
If you win, you can buy a bouquet of flowers with 10% of the price.
With this thought in mind, many people who buy flowers are willing to give it a try. Even those who originally had no intention of buying flowers want to try whether they are the lucky one.
Suddenly, the store entrance became quite lively.
For those who open a shop and do business, being able to attract people is an opportunity.
Obviously, Lu Cheng is also very good at seizing opportunities.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and there are already a lot of people buying flowers. After all this, the flowers in the store are selling very fast.
The shop was bustling until 8:30 in the evening. Most of the flowers in the shop had been sold, leaving only a few that were not selling well. The customers finally left.
After counting the money and doing the accounts, He's mother smiled and said, "Today we sold as much as we normally do in a few days, and we even made a little extra money. That's great. If business was this good every day, you would stop being teachers and police officers and just sell flowers together. Ah Cheng, you are really capable! If Ah Min followed you, I would feel relieved. You young people are smart and know how to do business."
"Aunt, I don't want you and Amin to work so hard. Well, now that we're done, should we go back to eat?"
"Yes, let's go out to eat tonight. Auntie will treat us."
When the family went to eat, Lu Cheng took out another exquisite little gift box and handed it to He Min: "Although I can't spend Christmas Eve with you tomorrow, I have prepared the gift in advance. Merry Christmas Eve."
He Min was also a little surprised: "Are there any gifts? Oops, I forgot to prepare a gift for you."
"A gift for me? Didn't you prepare it a long time ago?"
"No way! I was so busy helping my mom sell flowers that I forgot..."
Without waiting for He Min to finish, Lu Cheng hugged her directly, lowered his head and kissed her on her red lips. After a long time, he said, "Isn't this the best gift you've given me?"
"Hate."
As she spoke, He Min opened the small gift box and saw a fish-shaped pendant inlaid with gold and jade. The shape was exquisite and novel, and she fell in love with it immediately.
"Amin, do you know the meaning of this pendant?"
He Min took a closer look at the pendant and then shook her head.
"I have you in my life."
He Min felt sweet in her heart and took the initiative to kiss Lu Cheng.
He's mother, who was not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but hit her old man: "Look at Ah Cheng, how romantic he is? Unlike you, you are like a piece of wood."
Seeing that his future father-in-law was humiliated, Lu Cheng quickly took out two more gifts from the box on the back of the motorcycle, a plain gold bracelet for He's mother and a watch for He's father.
Seeing that these gifts were not cheap, He Min could not help but whispered, "Ah Cheng, you have just started working for a short time, there is no need to spend money like this."
"I am happy to spend money on you."
"But we still need to buy a new house and furniture in the future. How about this, when you are free, we can go to the bank together to open a savings account and deposit money into it together, okay?"
"It's all up to you."
In the original movie, Zhou Xingxing almost failed the test of He's parents because he had no savings. It was only when He Min took out her own 0 yuan and said it was Zhou Xingxing's savings that Zhou Xingxing was able to pass the test. However, the 10 yuan was eventually used by Zhou Xingxing to go undercover.
Of course, Lu Cheng would not let a woman save money alone.
After dinner, Lu Cheng sent the He family back home before returning to school. After returning to school, Lu Cheng called Superintendent Wang again and made arrangements.
By tomorrow, the terrorists will take action...
