A now vanished Chinese restaurant near us was named in English 'The Good Earth', but in Chinese even I with near zero knowledge could read 'Three Big <somethings>'; never found out what that last character was and couldn't imagine what would make sense in context either!
大三元. It's a Mahjong reference.[0]
By the way, those are the 17th, 125th and 370th most common characters in modern written Chinese.
