Chapter 14 Official Opening

When we returned to Qu’s house this time, there was another surprise. The second sister gave me more than 3000 mineral water tickets.Said that 2000 of them are free, and the second brother-in-law gave us the whole, and the remaining 10 sheets were purchased from the employees of their unit, 24 yuan per sheet (already very cheap), and there are 500 bottles in each box [-]ml mineral water.When you need water, you can go to the water plant to fetch water with a ticket.

I took these water tickets and sent a basket of free good words to my second sister, which made my sister's heart burst with joy.

Dad Qu also asked us if we had found the source of goods, but we prevaricated by using the excuse of finding an acquaintance to deliver the goods.

In fact, I am the supplier.

These days I have also harvested a lot of vegetables from the trees in the space. The types of vegetables have been changed several times. I have planted all the seeds I have in my hand, and put the harvested vegetables and fruits It's in the storage ring.

On the morning of the opening, our family got up very early.When we came to the vegetable store, it only took 5 minutes to walk. We put the green vegetables that we took out of the ring the night before on the shelves one by one. I went upstairs, now Jiang Zhi has great strength, moving these is like playing.

After hanging up the price tag, we waited for the opening at nine o'clock.My son was very excited in the store, looking at it, touching it, running around and jumping.

There was still a little distance before the opening time at 9 o'clock, so I took a rag and wiped all the shelves.Jiang Zhi looked at me busy and asked me if I was nervous. Of course I couldn't admit that I was nervous.This is my first time doing business, and I'm afraid that no one will come to our place to buy vegetables.In fact, I really don’t need to worry. The price of our vegetables is generally a few cents less than those sold by hawkers. We also introduce half-price vegetables every day. For example, cucumbers are currently sold at 4 yuan per catty, but our special price today is 2 yuan per catty. There are still limited quantities, until sold out.I believe that no small business hawker can compete with us on price.Moreover, hawkers usually sell vegetables that are short of catties and taels. We use fair scales and return zeros. In theory, there is no situation where vegetables cannot be sold.

After 8 o'clock, relatives came to the scene one after another. Jiang's father and Qu's father were chatting together, Jiang's mother and Qu's mother were chatting about homework, the eldest sister was inspecting the handicraft of the eldest brother-in-law, the second sister was looking at the children, as for the two The brothers-in-law were all wandering around the house, not knowing what they were doing.

At exactly 9 o'clock, Jiang Zhi set off 10000 firecrackers, which rang for a while.Then he opened the door of the vegetable shop.Let the uncles and aunts who are watching come into the store to visit and buy.I also took out the pre-recorded loudspeaker and played the specials in our store in a loop. I turned the loudspeaker to the loudest, trying to let the surrounding buildings hear it.

The sales are still extremely hot, and the people who come in are old men and old ladies who are always fussy. When buying a catty of beans, you have to shop around to find the cheapest one.Today I saw that ours is cheaper than other places, can you not buy a lot!

The Qu family and the Jiang family stayed in the store for a while and then left. They couldn't help here, and they took up space, so I didn't add to the confusion. Father Qu also took Han Han away, because Han Han had just opened for business. Han just wanted to follow the lost freshness after playing with his brother and sister for a while.So Dad Qu took all three children home, saying that he would spend this weekend with him.Jiang's father's family didn't have any older brothers and sisters to play with, so they didn't get the right to take Hanhan in, and they retreated sadly.

We were very busy all day long, Jiang Zhi kept moving and serving dishes, and I kept pressing the calculator with my fingers.After closing at night, we calculated the turnover for the day, and it was more than 1 yuan, which was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect to make so much money selling vegetables. (Is it because there is no capital, okay?)
There are still some leftover dishes on the shelf that everyone picked out, and they are all sluggish. After a day of ravages, they can't even hold their heads up.Jiang Zhi wanted to throw away the rest of the vegetables, but I didn't agree, it's too wasteful, you have to know that every grain is hard work, I planted them all.I decided that since they were wilting, let them wilt even more. I sorted the rest of the vegetables into categories, processed them briefly, and put them on the roof to dry them in the sun. (When I pick vegetables in the space, I always pay attention to the fact that there will be no black soil on the vegetables, because the black soil is very precious, and I don't want to part with it, so the vegetables are very clean.)
In the next few days, the turnover of the vegetable shop stabilized, with a daily income of about 5 yuan.Those old men and women like to come to our store to buy vegetables.It can save them some food money every day.They have become repeat customers of our store.

A week after we were in charge of the vegetable shop, the second batch of vegetable sellers officially settled in our small shop.The arrival of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother rescued us from the trivial things of opening a store.

We have been busy in the vegetable store during the day these days, and we rarely find free time to enter the space to practice. Even if there are no customers in the store occasionally, we dare not all enter the space, so we have to stay to look at the store.We can't just close the vegetable shop during the day after opening, so we feel that our cultivation is delayed.When we entered the space to practice in the past few nights, we also faintly felt that our first-level cultivation was about to be completed, and we were about to advance, so we should hurry up to practice these few days and advance as soon as possible.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang took over our work. In the first few days, Jiang Zhi and I visited in the morning and afternoon to see if they were up to the task and whether they were tired. Thinking of other ways.But Jiang's father and Jiang's mother seem to have found fun in selling vegetables these days.It is very easy to chat with those aunts who come to buy vegetables, the parents of the east and the parents of the west are short, but I think Jiang Ma does not forget to do business when chatting, and she is very good at doing business.When an aunt buys a piece of ginger, she will give someone a head of garlic. Although the pieces are all small and small, for those aunts who like to take advantage, they are bosom friends.I can see that I run more frequently.Their turnover in the past two days is actually higher than when we sold it. This is a shame.Looking at my mother-in-law with a cultured face, I really didn't expect to be so good at doing business.

Afterwards, Jiang Zhi and I handed over the vegetable shop to Father Jiang and Mother Jiang with confidence.Every morning Jiang Zhi pretends to drive out for a drive.When I returned to the vegetable store, there was a cart full of vegetables, even the passenger seat was piled up with vegetables.Jiang Zhi moved the vegetables to the bedroom/warehouse on the second floor by himself (after Jiang’s father and mother Jiang came to the store, they didn’t say anything about going to our house, saying that they were afraid of disturbing us, and it was very convenient for them to live on the second floor of the vegetable store.) In the process of cooking, I was afraid that it would not be enough to sell, so I secretly added some vegetables into it.In the evening, our family of three wandered to the vegetable store to help with the finishing touches, and finally went home with the cash and leftovers from our daily income. (Ginger's father and Jiang's mother said that it is not safe to put so much cash in the store, so let us come and take it away every day.)
Now that we are free from the entanglement of trivial matters, Jiang Zhi and I are ready to make up our minds and practice hard for a while to prepare for the promotion.
