Chapter 8
The opening time of the supermarket was officially set at 7:25 am on July 8th. The date was set by Lin Xiao and the time was set by Lin Aijun. According to Lin Aijun, this time is auspicious.

Lin Xiao and others arrived at the store at 6:[-] in the morning to make final preparations for the opening.

It was expected that there would be many people, but Lin Xiao and others did not expect that there would be so many people!
By 8 o'clock in the morning, the firecrackers hadn't been fired yet, but a lot of people had gathered at the door, and even a lot of people were getting ready to enter the supermarket.

Looking at the surging crowd, Lin Xiao wondered for the first time whether he would promote too much.

At 8:09, the firecrackers went off on time, and as Lin Xiao and others stepped aside to open the gate, people who had been waiting outside rushed in.

"Boss, where is your washing powder?"

"Boss, I want to buy a case of beer."

"Boss, how much is this sugar per catty? Can it be cheaper?"

……

Lin Xiao did all the work very carefully in advance, such as pricing and classification... But what he never expected was that the villagers did not have the awareness of independent shopping. After customers flooded into the supermarket, they did not go there immediately They went shopping in the supermarket to find things, but gathered at the entrance one after another, and began to ask questions.

One person took the lead, and the others followed suit, shouting, causing everyone to crowd at the gate.

Lin Xiao quickly picked up the loudspeaker that he had prepared a long time ago, and shouted: "Everyone, don't crowd at the door. This is a supermarket, and everything is well sorted. Let's go inside and see what is there. If you want to buy something, there is a shopping guide inside, if you can’t find it, you can ask. Also, everything has a price tag.”

Following Lin Xiao's shout, the crowd began to walk into the supermarket.

Especially those who brought their students. The students can read and write. They began to notice the signs in the supermarket, and then led their families to different areas.

Others who did not have a clear shopping goal at first started shopping in the supermarket.

A 230-square-floor supermarket is naturally not very large in later generations, but in these days, it seems very large in towns.

After a while, exclamations came to Lin Xiao's ears one after another.

"This supermarket is quite big, there are still upstairs, let's go and have a look."

"And it's a good thing that there are all kinds of food. He has everything here."

"This washing powder is really cheap by 2 cents."

……

After that, Lin Xiao didn't pay attention to it, because some people who were quick to start and rushed to draw the lottery had already started to check out.

The first person to pay the bill was at Lin Xiao's side. He bought a case of beer and some daily necessities for a total of more than 40 yuan. As soon as he paid the bill, he couldn't wait to ask:
"Where is the lottery?"

Lin Xiao pointed to the lottery box on the table, and the man immediately reached into it and drew it.

Lin Xiao specially went to the county to find someone to make the prize tickets for the supermarket lottery with cardboard shells, so that it was not easy to stick them together to get a few tickets. His original idea was that he could directly hang red envelopes on the wall like later generations, But the space is too limited to open.

"10 yuan!"

After pulling it out, seeing that it was 10 yuan, the man immediately shouted a little excitedly.

Who wouldn't take advantage of this opportunity to create momentum, Lin Xiao also immediately shouted, "Oh, good luck, I won 10 yuan."

As he said that, Lin Xiao took out 10 yuan and handed it over, and the man immediately took it happily, "Yes, yes."

As soon as they heard that someone had already won a lottery at the checkout at the door, the speed of these customers who originally bought things increased significantly, and there were quite a few people who wanted to rush to the lottery.

Although Lin Xiao had expected that the checkout would be a little troublesome and arranged for two people, when he actually started the operation, he found that the two people were still too busy.

These days, the settlement efficiency is really not very good. Every person who comes has to use a calculator to calculate the price first, and then collect money to change the money, so within a short while, there is a checkout line at the gate.

……

Chen Meifeng has been following Lin Xiao's family for the past few days. At the beginning, she didn't know what Lin Xiao and others were going to do. She didn't know until the matter of recruiting shop assistants came out that they were going to open a supermarket.

What is a supermarket?Isn't it just a bigger grocery store?

Chen Meifeng scoffed quickly. In her opinion, just such a grocery store needs to recruit two people, and the 2 yuan given is not worse than her salary.

"I can't even earn the wages of helpers."

Chen Meifeng ate it in her heart, and soon in her heart, she sentenced Lin Xiao's family to death for this business.

As for later, when she saw the advertisement in the leaflet, she found it even more ridiculous.

This wave of lottery draws adds up to 500 yuan. With this 500 yuan, I can do something wrong and use it for a lottery draw. Others will not spend money on lottery tickets.

"Liu Lanzhen's family is afraid that there will be no shorts left."

With the mentality of gloating and watching jokes, Chen Meifeng arrived at the door of Yongchang Supermarket early, and then she saw many people waiting outside to enter the supermarket.

This made Chen Meifeng a little bit surprised, but she soon felt relieved, what's wrong with the crowds, they can't just come to join in the fun, didn't they come too, but they definitely wouldn't spend a penny to buy things there .

After everyone flocked into the supermarket, Chen Meifeng stood at the entrance of the supermarket and looked very abrupt. She could only walk a little bit and looked around the corner.

She didn't know the specific situation in the supermarket, so when she first saw Liu Lanzhen and Lin Xiao standing at the door, doing nothing, she immediately thought it was very funny, because no one was shopping.

But after a while, someone came to check out and buy things. Chen Meifeng saw with her own eyes that this person took out 100 yuan, and then Lin Xiao changed some money.

Because Chen Meifeng also knew this person, so after that person came out, she immediately went up to ask how much she bought. The answer was 42 yuan, and she won 10 yuan.

"I didn't buy much, and I took away 10 yuan. This order must be a loss."

Chen Meifeng calculated again. After all, she stayed in the financial office for a while, so she was able to calculate the account.

But then she realized that something was wrong. There was a long queue at the checkout place. She even counted. In less than an hour, there were more than 100 people who paid the checkout.

What surprised Chen Meifeng even more was that people were still pouring into the supermarket one after another, and the flow of people did not show any decrease.

She just made such a preliminary estimate, which immediately startled her, how much would she have to charge for this day!

She, who was still gloating at others' misfortune, couldn't feel happy anymore. At this moment, Chen Meifeng saw her son walking towards this direction, obviously going to the supermarket.

"Xiang, what are you doing?"

"Go to the supermarket, Mom, they all said that there are a lot of things in it, let's go too."

"What are you going to do? There's nothing to buy inside. Let's go home." Chen Meifeng angrily pulled her son back.

"Why, their business is so good, why can't I go and have a look..."

Hearing her son's words, Chen Meifeng felt more and more irritable in her chest, and began to scold loudly.

…………

No one in Lin Xiao's family noticed this scene, because there was really no time and there were too many people!
The door opened in the morning, but those who were close to the market arrived earlier. As time went on, some people who lived far away also came to the market one after another. Some people came straight to the supermarket, and some people heard the opening The grand occasion, join in the fun and come over.

As a result, although the people who bought things have left, the flow of people in the supermarket has not decreased at all.

As time went past eleven o'clock, because of the hot weather, the number of people began to slowly decrease.

However, "new problems" have also begun to emerge.

"Boss Lin, the washing powder is sold out..."

"There aren't many cases of beer left."

"There's not much ice in the freezer."
