The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 24 New Store Opening

The second day of the twelfth lunar month in 1998.Meiyue Shi grocery store officially opened.

Although the store was opened at home, at Su Manjin's suggestion, Zeng Meiyue approached a supplier to discuss cooperation. The supplier made store signs for the grocery store for free, and the grocery store provided free advertising space for the supplier to promote their brand.

The house of Zeng Meiyue's family faces south, the southwest room is the kitchen, and the west side of the house is adjacent to the village road.

The south side is the foundation left by the family for Su Yutian. Since it has not been completed yet, the south side of Zeng Meiyue's house is not covered. In addition, the small yard reserved at the door of her house is not fenced, so the signage of the grocery store is still very good.

Zeng Meiyue listened to Su Manjin's suggestion, contacted the wholesale suppliers in the town, and made a large wall advertisement on the outside wall of her kitchen near the township road.

——"Snow Beer, selected from the finest barley, brewed carefully, has a mellow aroma, quenches heat and thirst, invigorates the stomach and refreshes the mind, and is rich in nutrition."

At the same time, a signboard was hung on the exterior wall on the south side of the kitchen.

——"Meiyueshi Grocery Store, Arowana——Golden Light Shenzhou Flash."

Early this morning, the whole family gathered in the shop to help prepare after breakfast.

Zeng Meiyue had already arranged the goods in the store clean and tidy.

Su Yuhui put the change in the money drawer and arranged them in stacks according to the face value, so that it is convenient for customers to give change.

Su Yumei was busy preparing tea in the kitchen. The tea was Tieguanyin, which cost 10 yuan a catty, and she was reluctant to drink it at home, but today was an important day, so it was natural that she should take it out to entertain customers.

Su Jinshun and Zhou Xiuni moved out the square table and all the chairs at home and placed them in the yard outside the house, where customers can sit, rest or chat when they come.

Su Yutian hadn't recovered from his broken leg, but he couldn't help being lonely, so he forced Su Yumei to help him come and sit at the door of the store, saying that he wanted to help his sister-in-law get popular.

Su Jinyang flew around like a little bee, uh, running around happily.Su Manjin was afraid that he would bump into him, so she stopped her and held him by the hand. The little baby was easy to talk, and she obediently followed her sister after a while.

Some relatives, neighbors and neighbors came to the store one after another, and some customers were attracted by the "Opening Big Bonus" leaflet.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the auspicious time came, and the sound of firecrackers sounded on time.

"Mei Yue, I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money!"

"Yuhui, I wish you all the best of luck and prosperous business!"

"The store is open, the business is good, the fortune is good, and the days are getting better and better!"

Many neighbors smiled and blessed, and the scene was lively.

"Sister, congratulations on the opening of the new store. I send you my congratulations and a lucky cat. I hope you will have a lot of money!" Zeng Huashan handed over a simple golden lucky cat ornament, very happy.

"Congratulations, I'm sending you a pair of fortune trees. May your wealth be prosperous! I'll put them in front of the shop for you!" Su Yuhui's sworn brother, Du Rongzhi, said loudly with a bright smile.

"Sister, business is booming. Sister, I will give you a small red envelope. I wish you a lot of money!" Zeng Qiongyue smiled and handed over the red envelope.

"Your brother-in-law went to work today, and specifically asked me to bring Xiaojuan over to pick out some commonly used things at home, saying that he needs to support my sister-in-law's business."

"Second brother and second sister-in-law, congratulations. Our family arranged flower baskets and made a custom-made bed of cakes. I hope you will have today every year and every year." Su Yuhui's cousins ​​also came to have fun, because Su Yuhui ranked first in the family Second, I am very loyal to my brothers at ordinary times, and everyone has a good relationship.

The guests all smiled and congratulated Zeng Meiyue's family, and the Su family also hurriedly served tea to the guests and invited everyone to sit down and have a rest.

"Mei Yue, do you still count the discounted prices on the promotional leaflets you sent earlier?" a fellow from Jiucun asked.

He came here today for the discounted price.The market in the outer street costs 1 yuan a catty of rice, but this leaflet only costs 8 cents. Although the purchase limit is 5 catties, it can save 10 yuan, which is equivalent to buying a catty or two more catties for the same price. .

Zeng Meiyue responded with a smile: "Uncle Qiu, of course it counts! You read on the list, as long as the total amount of goods you purchased today reaches 30 yuan, the rice will be calculated as 8 cents for you. Five yuan is also included in the 5 yuan."

"The Yuhui family, your salt is also 2 cents cheaper than the outer street market, that's right."

Zeng Meiyue answered patiently: "Yes, uncles and aunts, the opening of our small shop will last from today to December [-]th."

"You can choose two products and refer to the preferential price on the leaflet to calculate the price. As long as the total purchase of each product reaches 30 yuan, you can enjoy the preferential price of those two products. You can only choose two discounted products at most."

As soon as the guests heard Zeng Meiyue's explanation, they started discussing in a hurry.

"Like this rice, I have to eat it at home anyway. It costs 10 yuan to buy 8 catties. If you choose some other commonly used products, you can get a lot of discounts."

"Yes, except for the promotional items on the flyer, the prices of other items in the store are the same as those sold on the outside street. Choose some commonly used collocations. Anyway, you will buy them sooner or later. Let's stock up on the goods first. It’s not a loss, it’s a profit.”

"It's all from neighbors. As long as the price is reasonable, we must support the business of our neighbors/cousins."

While talking, everyone went into the store to buy the products they needed.

Zeng Meiyue prepared some plastic bags for the guests to choose directly.Miscellaneous products such as rice and noodles are handled by myself, and it is not like outside stores that will mix in broken noodle threads, and everyone is very satisfied.

Zeng Meiyue is busy introducing products and answering customers' inquiries.

Su Manjin was busy weighing and keeping accounts, adding up the amount of the products selected by each customer.

Su Yuhui is in charge of the cash register and is responsible for collecting money from customers.

Su Yumei helped the customer pack the settled goods into bags.

Zhou Xiuni and Su Jinshun were chatting with some of the guests waiting in line.

Even Su Yutian, who has limited legs and feet, helped take care of Xiao Jinyang and greet guests.

The family is very busy.

It just so happens that the opening day is the second day of junior high school, the day of worshiping the land god every month.Zeng Meiyue specially prepared a box of shortbread and mung bean cake when purchasing the goods, so that everyone can buy them and make them a fruit box for goodbye.

As a result, in less than an hour, each customer took two packs, and half a box of each of the two kinds of cakes was sold.

The customers who bought the goods went home with their things, and some new customers came one after another.

After paying the bills for more than 30 customers in one morning, Su Manjin was a little tired, but happy.

It's not in vain that she has worked hard to promote the opening some time ago, and it seems that it is still somewhat effective.

After being busy for half a day, the turnover is estimated to be more than 1000 yuan, and the profit rate is calculated at 10%, and the income is 100 yuan.

Although there are so many people working together, the average income per person is not much, but this is the first day of opening, the focus is not on income, but on the reputation of owning a grocery store.

When these guests go back in the morning, word of mouth will definitely spread.As the end of the year is approaching, every family has to prepare new year's goods. Naturally, they will take advantage of the promotional activities during the opening period to purchase, so that the grocery store's business this month will not have to worry.If the reputation is spread, it can also leave some repeat customers.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer customers, the Su family was happily cleaning up the environment in the store, but they didn't want to welcome an uninvited guest.
