Episode 143: Grand Opening

It is said that the owners of restaurants take the first customer who enters their store on the opening day very seriously.

There is a particular emphasis placed on this, for if the first customer is an ordinary farmer, the owner should welcome him heartily and attend to him thoroughly with joy and hospitality, as the restaurant relies heavily on the grains and vegetables cultivated by these farmers. To some extent, it is justified to consider them as benefactors.

However, if a beggar loiters at the doorway on the first day of business, the owner really should burn three sticks of incense for himself, as this almost foretells that the business may not do well and might ultimately share the same fate as that beggar.

Among these, the most coveted scenario is when the first customer is a scholar about to take the imperial examination, symbolizing that the newly opened shop will rise progressively and thrive increasingly.
