The road to the emperor begins with farming

On the opening day of the supermarket, Luo Yu and He Weixi arrived early in the morning, directing the staff to take their places quickly.

Fortunately, these guys have undergone simple training, keeping their responsibilities in mind, and doing the final inspection.

In addition to the inside of the supermarket, several sheds have been set up outside the store, two of which are dedicated to introducing soap, pencils, and pens; There are also various practical small objects on the side of the points exchange point.

When the auspicious time came, the staff ordered to set off firecrackers, and invited the dragon and lion dance team to perform in front of the store, attracting a large crowd of people around.

A guy stood on a chair, holding a simple self-made speaker, enthusiastically introducing the supermarket's promotional activities to the crowd:

Great news!Great news!Four Seas Supermarket opens today with big rewards![-]% off all items in store.[-]% off white rice and pork, [-]% off Dingwei Braised Vegetables, [-]% off cloth pots and bowls, [-]% off everything, [-]% off everything.Only [-]% off today, all customers and friends passing by, don't miss it!Miss today and wait another year!

In addition, anyone who spends over 38 Wen in our store can get a free lucky draw!You heard that right, it's free!And the prizes are very rich.The first prize is a coupon for lunch or dinner for four at Dingwei Western Restaurant; the second prize is a piece of muslin cloth; the third prize is a bucket of white rice; the fourth prize is a piece of homemade soap newly developed by the store, which can be used to wash your face and hair Bathing, a bar of soap is all done; the fifth prize is...the number of prizes is limited, first-come, first-served!

The guys in charge of publicity today were trained by Luo Yu himself.It can be described as a hand-in-hand teaching. They must be trained to be engaged in marketing, or at worst they must be street sellers of counterfeit medicines, so as to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the masses and make them have the urge to go in and take a look.

Of course, those who go in usually don't come out empty-handed. After all, the things sold in his supermarket are not worse than other people's, and they are also cheaper than other people's. He is a serious businessman.

I have to say that many people were tempted after being fooled by the buddy.Although these ancient people have always held a wait-and-see attitude towards accepting new things, they all have the psychology of taking advantage of it if they are drawn.

Among the onlookers, those who had heard of the Dingwei Western Restaurant thought, the food in the Western Restaurant is a method that has never been prepared in Linjiang County, and a meal costs a few taels of silver, which can only be afforded by dignitaries. place.If they win the lottery, ordinary people like them can also take their families to have a meal, and they can also show off to the neighbors around them.

Even if you don't win the first prize, the fine cotton cloth for the second prize will cost one tael of silver.Even if you don't win the second prize, isn't there still a third prize... Even if you don't win all of them, isn't it [-]% off all the products? Maybe it's cheaper than the ones sold outside.

Ever since, with such a mentality, some people walked towards the entrance of the store one after another.

The supermarket opened by Luo Yu is a combination of two shops. There are exactly two doors, one is the entrance, and there are many bamboo baskets for people to use; the other is the exit, and a row of cash registers is also at the exit.

Wu Dalang also entered the supermarket with this mentality, anyway, his mother-in-law just asked him to come out and buy some white rice to go home.

As soon as he entered, a clerk smiled and said, "Welcome to Sihai Supermarket. We have special products every day. Today's special product is eggs, with a [-]% discount. Customers can go and have a look." Baskets, "If customers buy more things, they can use bamboo baskets for free in the store."

Wu Dalang quickly waved his hand, "Let me see first." He just wanted to buy some white rice.

The guy continued to smile and said, "OK, have a nice shopping!"

After Wu Dalang went in, he found that the products on the shelves were neatly stacked, and the prices were written on a note on the bottom.Although he can't read a few big characters, he still knows the numbers. The prices of the things here are similar to those outside, or even cheaper, but after the [-]% discount, they are much cheaper than those sold outside.

He walked and watched, and when he reached the special price area, he saw baskets of eggs on a wooden shelf, and some people were rushing to buy them.When he saw it, he became anxious and rushed up to grab a few.

Just when I was anxious not to get more, a passerby handed over a bamboo basket.

Wu Dalang didn't refuse again, and took the bamboo basket, thinking that the guys here are quite discerning.

He went to get some eggs, and then bought half a bucket of white rice as his mother-in-law told him.But these things were not enough for 38 Wen, so I looked around and felt that this was also missing at home, and I could buy some of that, so I just got enough to go to the lottery.

When the bamboo baskets were full, Wu Dalang realized that he had taken too much without knowing it.That's okay, anyway, it's cheaper than buying it outside, and it's still profitable anyway.

When he went to check out, the clerk was optimistic about the price, helped him pack the things, and said with a smile, "It's 56 Wen in total."

Wu Dalang touched the copper coin from his pocket and handed it to him, and the clerk gave him a special small ticket with the price of the things he bought written on it, "Our supermarket has special products every day, welcome to visit next time. You take this Just a small ticket can go to the lottery draw, don’t throw away the small ticket after drawing the prize, this store can earn points, every penny earns one point, like this..."

The clerk casually picked up the claw comb placed next to the counter, "As long as you have accumulated enough 300 points, that is, if you buy enough 300 Wen in this store, this claw comb can be given to you for free."

"Okay." Wu Dalang smiled when he heard it, and he didn't mind at all buying a lot of things that the family didn't need for the time being, and said, "I will come to your supermarket to buy things next time."

When he arrived at the lottery, Wu Dalang handed the ticket to the clerk, and the clerk asked him to draw a card from the lottery box.At this time, he was already surrounded by people around him, all shouting: "Look how many prizes we can get this time, someone just drew a bolt of muslin."

Wu Dalang was excited for a while, and he also hoped that he could draw a big prize.When he took out the card from the lottery box, the clerk took a look and immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to this customer for winning the first prize, which is a meal for four at Dingwei Western Restaurant."

The clerk who introduced the discounts in the store immediately stood on the chair and said loudly with a loudspeaker: "Good news, good news! Our first prize, the four-person meal at Dingwei Western Restaurant, has just opened. Congratulations This lucky customer can take his family and friends to a western restaurant to taste delicious meals. But don’t worry, we have three first prizes in total, that is to say, there are two more, and the last two are left. Everyone Hurry up, maybe the next lucky customer will be you! What are you waiting for!"

This fellow spoke with passion, stirring up the atmosphere of the scene.If Luo Yu heard it, he would definitely say: Very good, very demeanor of selling fake medicines on the street!Although these are taught by him.

Sure enough, the rest of the people who were watching outside were also moved when they heard it. They watched outside for a long time and found that the winning rate was actually quite high. The first and last prizes.The people who heard it said that the things in it were good and cheap, and they would be robbed if they didn't buy them any more, so they rushed into the supermarket one after another without waiting any longer.

On this day, most of the people in Linjiang who had been to the supermarket bought too much.There are a lot of items that can be purchased or not, but they were moved back home to make up for the lottery, and I am afraid that they will not need to buy more for a month or two.

But the guy in charge of the lottery continued to introduce to Wu Dalang: "You can choose to have lunch or dinner, just give this card to the guy in the restaurant."

Wu Dalang smiled happily, but also worried, "They won't admit it?"

"Just don't worry about this." The waiter assured, "Sihai Supermarket and Dingwei Western Restaurant are the same owner, so why not admit it and smash the signboard yourself."

It turned out to be an owner, Wu Dalang was relieved, and went home with the bought things to announce the good news to his wife. He was finally able to take his wife and children to eat western food that only rich people can afford.

Except for the inside of the supermarket and the lottery, the two sheds where new products were introduced, the soap stand was crowded with people, and the pen stand was slightly less crowded.

In fact, Luo Yu has already warmed up the sales of soap and pens.For example, the clerks in western restaurants now use pencils to help customers order dishes, and he even gave some to his classmates in private schools; for example, he gave the prepared soap to some familiar customers who came to eat in western restaurants, and introduced The usage is to ask them to give it to the female relatives at home.

Zheng Daping, who has opened several silk and satin shops, is a regular customer of western restaurants, and he is also a VIP.In addition to bringing his own family to patronize, he also brought all those who had business entertainment to the western restaurant.Not only because the dishes here are delicious, but also because the environment here is also very good, and it is also a good face to bring people here to discuss business.

Zheng Daping didn't take the soap that Luo Yu gave him seriously, and gave it to his daughter Zheng Yao after returning home.

Zheng Yao smelled the soap very well, so she used it to wash her hair and bath that night.She thought that she would be very clean after taking a bath every three days, but she didn't expect that after using soap this time, she would rub off a lot of dirt, and suddenly there were some black lines.Of course, this also shows that this humble little soap is really easy to use.

When she greeted her mother the next day, her mother actually asked her if she was going out, and what kind of incense did she smoke?

Zheng Yao really didn't plan to go out today, so there was no incense.She sniffed it carefully, and found that it was the scent of soap, so she told her mother, and she really praised the soap.

When you have something good, you naturally have to go out to show off, so Zheng Yao, who didn't plan to go out, took the maid and mother-in-law to visit the little sisters who are usually good friends.When she came back, Zheng Yao looked happy, went directly to the main room, and asked her father where she bought the soap, and said that she wanted to buy more to give to other little sisters.

Zheng Daping didn't expect that a small piece of soap would attract his daughter's heart, so he went to ask Luo Yu about it.

Luo Yu only said that Sihai Supermarket opened on the tenth day of this month and would officially launch soap, so please come and join us.

When the day came, Zheng Daping sent his servants to help his daughter to buy.Most of the customers who received Luo Yu's gift of soap were well used by their family members, so they also sent people to buy a large number of them, saying that they planned to give them away.In addition, there were also some maids and servants who came to the scene. Hearing that the guy praised the soap so miraculously, they also took the money to help the lady at home buy some for trial use.

There are several kinds of soaps made by Luo Yu, one is added with flower juice, such as rose and jasmine, this kind of soap is full of floral fragrance; the other is added with mint and aloe juice, this kind of fragrance It is relatively light, with a fresh and natural taste; there are also spices added in it, which makes the fragrance stronger.

The first two soaps sell for 15 Wen a piece, and the latter one sells for 30 Wen a piece, mainly because the spices are more expensive.

This price is not very cheap, but it is also bought by a lot of people, which shows that women's money is indeed more profitable.

The other pen stalls are mostly patronized by scholars and shopkeepers.

For them, the focus of the buddy's publicity is that the pencil is easy to carry, which is more convenient than the brush.For example, when a scholar suddenly has an inspiration and wants to write a poem, he can quickly take a pencil to write it down, or he can also take notes when the husband is lecturing; for example, when the accountant is outside, it is very convenient to bring a pencil to write down at any time. account.There is also the Mongolian boy at home, when he first learns to write, he might as well practice with a pencil first.

Moreover, the price of pencils is very cheap, a pencil is only two pennies, what are you dissatisfied with.

As for the pen, this kind of pen that needs to be dipped in ink is still a bit tasteless for the time being. Bringing a writing brush is similar to carrying a fountain pen.But it is not without advantages, at least writing small characters is easier to use, but it needs to be practiced, after all, they are all people who are used to using brushes.On the other hand, the ink bottle is good, at least it can be ground when you don't need to write.The mouth of the bottle is not sealed, so it is not very convenient to carry.

In the end, a lot of pencils, pens and ink bottles were sold, and only some people who liked to try new things bought some back.

Fortunately, Luo Yu didn't make much at all, so he could sell them out slowly.This also made him think about developing a fountain pen with an ink sac as soon as possible.
