[In the past two days, I have received a lot of monthly votes from my friends. Xiao Shu is very flattered. Thank you all. And thank you for the reward from Xinghai scavengers. Mr. Xiyi helps Xiao Shu catch insects every day. Thank you for your hard work! 】
Calculating the spiritual energy, the fertilizing pool was upgraded to three levels, and the spring was upgraded to five levels, which slightly relieved the urgent need, but the spiritual energy was consumed again.
Liu Yuzhe came back less than three days after his return. Of course, Zhang Cong, Yang Ming and others also came with him.
Seeing Zhang Cong carrying large and small bags of clothes, Shen Chi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He really planned to stay here for a long time.
Liu Yuzhe reported the good news to Shen Chi as soon as he arrived: "I went back and asked my aunt to rent the shop directly from the street. It was for five years. The rent was three hundred per month. I paid a deposit of five thousand in total."
.”
"Where did you get so much money?" Zhang Cong and others exclaimed.
"Living expenses, and the New Year's money accumulated over the years." Liu Yuzhe said.
Zhang Cong took out a paper bag and opened it. Inside were ten yuan bills.
"I only saved a thousand and three." Zhang Cong said with a sad face.
"I only have eight hundred." Wang Meng had even less money.
Yang Ming's operation was the most outrageous. He directly took a picture of a bankbook and said: "I stole my mother's bankbook and saw that there were 8,000 yuan on it."
Shen Chi was shocked when he heard this: "Give it back quickly. It's not that I really need your money, but I just want you to bring some business to the store in the future. If you do this, your parents won't beat you to death if they find out."
Yang Ming waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the worst I can do is get a beating. Besides, I didn't do anything bad with the money. My mother and the others wouldn't say anything if they knew it."
Yang Ming said with a smile and said: "If mom knew that she contributed a share of the money for the opening of this shop, she would spare no effort to bring business to the shop."
Mr. Zhang and Wang Meng's eyes lit up when they heard this: "Why didn't we think of such a good idea?"
"Hurry up and stop it. It's okay to use your own pocket money, but forget about stealing your parents' money." Shen Chi quickly dismissed Zhang Cong's idea.
As for Yang Ming's passbook, Shen Chi temporarily kept it for him and would return it when his mother found it. If he didn't keep it now, he was afraid that Yang Ming had other ideas.
After the store was rented, Shen Chi and Liu Yuzhe went to find Liu Meilan as quickly as possible and went to the street to pay the remaining rent balance.
Because Liu Yuzhe was also involved, the contract was simply signed in Liu Meilan's name to save Shen Chi from having to go back and call his father over.
After the store was rented, all that was left was to decorate it. Chen Jianmin happened to be engaged in real estate, so the decoration project was naturally handed over to him.
Because Shen Chi was in the countryside, the decoration here naturally fell to Liu Meilan, so he asked her to come over and take a look occasionally.
Shen Chi has already drawn the decoration design drawing, which is the design sketch of the county supermarket.
I explained to Liu Meilan which area should be the fruit and vegetable area, and which area should be the fish, meat, poultry and egg area, and Liu Meilan agreed.
Shen Chi is now very glad that he was so wise in bringing Liu Yuzhe in, otherwise he would be so far away from the decoration work that he would be busy enough.
Now all that's left is to organize the supply of goods. The list has been listed one by one before, and it's just a matter of equipping it according to the list.
Liu Yuzhe naturally couldn't go back to the villa to renovate the store. Shen Chi gave the design drawings to Liu Yuzhe and asked him to stay and help his aunt.
Liu Yuzhe agreed without any complaints. Although Liu Meilan was in charge, it was him who ran the show before and after.
Shen Chi was not idle either, busy buying shelves, fish pond aerators and other tools, and making all preparations.
During the renovation, Shen Chi went to see it once. It was probably Liu Yuzhe who told Chen Jianmin that he was in a hurry. Chen Jianmin sent four bricklayers to the small 40-square-meter shop.
Those who painted the walls painted the walls, and those who repaired the fish ponds repaired the fish ponds. Within a week, his shop was repainted, and the fish pond used for temporary fish farming was also repaired.
After installing the glass and testing the water, I checked that there was no leakage and then installed oxygenation and other things.
The goods that had been prepared in advance were dragged to the store and put on the shelves in advance, and someone was hired to put up the custom-made sign. Shen Chi's third farmer's supermarket finally opened.
Guixiang and the others have been familiar with the business in the county supermarket for a month, and now they are all familiar with it. They left two helpers for the county supermarket and brought the other five to the city store.
The night before the supermarket opened, Shen Changlin invited Zhang Butcher from the town to kill a pig. Shen Changlin delivered the pork before five o'clock in the morning.
Shen Chi came with Shen Changlin's meat delivery truck. The new store opened, and Shen Chi pulled Zhang Cong and others aboard.
They were made to wear uniforms customized by Aunt Shen Chi's factory, and Zhang Cong and the others were also asked to act as temporary salespersons.
In order to build momentum, Shen Chi specially dragged several carts of pumpkins, sweet potatoes and other worthless seasonal vegetables produced in the villa, all of which were divided into one-pound packages.
The pumpkin, which was as big as a bathtub, was also cut into pieces weighing about a pound. Shen Chi held a big promotion for the opening of a new store. If you buy a chicken or duck, five pounds of eggs, or a certain number of pounds of oil, you will get a pound of vegetables for free.
At this time, Shen Chi's promotion method was still very novel, and it immediately attracted many nearby housewives who got up early to buy groceries.
It was the first time for Zhang Cong and others to sell things. They were so shy that they did not dare to say hello to anyone who came to the door.
On the other hand, Mr. Shen Chi and his aunties and eldest sisters shouted enthusiastically, and they opened several businesses at once.
Seeing that Shen Chi was so generous, they slowly let go of their dignity and began to take the initiative to greet the guests.
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Shen Chi asked Zhang Cong and the others: "Have you told your family that our store will open today?"
"I said hello in advance, and I asked my mother to call more people to take care of our business." Zhang Cong replied.
"Why haven't they come yet?" Shen Chi asked in a low voice.
"Maybe ask someone to go and wait." Zhang Cong also replied anxiously.
Before Zhang Cong's mother could wait, Liu Meilan came first and brought seven or eight next-door neighbors with her.
"This is the farmer's shop opened by your Yuzhe. Isn't it a small farmer's market?" A middle-aged woman who came with Liu Meilan looked at the shop with a critical eye.
The group of female workers were about to come forward to entertain them, but Shen Chi asked them to greet other guests. He wanted to personally greet the woman who spoke.
Because Shen Chi felt that this woman was not here to buy things, but to find fault.
"Auntie, what kind of food do you want to buy? Don't underestimate our small store. As long as you buy the items in it once, I guarantee that you will come back to buy it again next time." Shen Chi greeted with a smile.
"Young man is really good at talking. What do you have in this little shop?" the woman asked Shen Chi.
"I wonder, auntie, what kind of vegetables do you usually buy at home?" Shen Chi asked with a smile.
"Fish, meat, etc." the woman replied.
When Shen Chi heard this, he saw that the other party had indeed fallen into the trap. Most picky people are good-looking. Shen Chi deliberately asked this question to lure the other party to the bait. When he saw that the woman had fallen into the trap, Shen Chi lured the woman to the fresh eggs and poultry area.
Shen Chi pointed to the grass carp swimming in the glass fish tank and said: "Everything in our store is produced and sold by ourselves. The fish here have been carefully raised for two or three years. They eat high-quality forage and the meat is delicious.
Auntie, would you like to take one back to try?"
"How much does this sea bass cost per pound?" the woman asked.
"Two yuan three." Shen Chi replied.
The woman looked shocked, swallowed back the word "so expensive" that she almost blurted out, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll look at something else."
The seabass was estimated to weigh two to three kilograms. Just a piece of fish would cost five or six yuan, and buying some other vegetables and a meal would cost more than a dozen yuan.
Now that the average salary is only three to four hundred, one meal can cover several days of food expenses. How can we survive the rest of the day?
Shen Chi didn't mind, and introduced her to the villa's specialties, old hens and ducks. The woman didn't even dare to ask the price this time, and just smiled awkwardly.
Finally, with Shen Chi's tireless introduction, the woman bought half a pound of pork, a pound of eggs, and two pounds of peanut oil. Shen Chi gave her a piece of pumpkin, which she accepted with a smile.
At this time, the other women who came with them had also bought groceries, and everyone shouted to Liu Meilan: "Meilan, have you finished shopping? We are going back!"
"You guys go ahead, I have something to do and I'll stay here for a while." Liu Meilan said to the neighbors who came with her.
The others then left first, and at this time Shen Chi also walked towards Liu Meilan.
"Is the business done? You are really good. That woman is my neighbor downstairs. She is the most picky. I didn't plan to invite her. We met her on the way and came with us. I didn't expect you to even touch her
The business is also successful." Liu Meilan smiled at Shen Chi.
"How can you choose customers when you open the door for business? Of course, you must try your best to meet the needs of the customers." Shen Chi replied with a smile.
As he spoke, Chunsheng's wife Guixiang brought a few kilograms of ribs over, tied them with a straw rope and handed them to Liu Meilan, saying: "Auntie, you and your uncle have worked hard to open the shop. These few kilograms of ribs are not a sign of respect. Please accept them."
Bar."
Liu Meilan hurriedly declined: "No, no! I'm not going back. I have to go to the county town today to take care of Xiaoshan and her grandparents."
"Then it's even more important to accept it. Take it here as a taste for the elderly. It's all home-made. Don't dislike it." Shen Chi insisted on Liu Meilan accepting it.
The kindness was hard to refuse, so Liu Meilan had no choice but to accept and thank Shen Chi for her kindness.
Seeing that customers were coming to the shop one after another, Liu Meilan didn't stay long, said goodbye to everyone and left.
After waiting all morning, Zhang Cong's mother didn't see anyone coming over. It wasn't until everyone started making lunch that Zhang Cong finally saw his mother and a group of aunts passing by his shop.
Seeing that the vegetable baskets in their hands were full, it was obvious that they had gone to the vegetable market to buy all the vegetables.
"Mom, I didn't ask you to bring someone to take care of my business. Why did you go elsewhere to buy all the vegetables?" Zhang Cong stopped his mother and asked.
When Zhang Cong's mother saw him, she was obviously stunned for a moment. Then she looked up at the supermarket sign and heard her read word by word: "In Wangshanzhuang Farmers' Supermarket, you really opened a store."
Ah, I thought you were telling me for fun, but I didn't take it seriously."
Shen Chi couldn't help but secretly complained about Zhang Cong: "It's because of how many unreliable things he has done to make this mother so distrustful."
