Chapter 518 Self-service Mode

The grocery store reopened, and all items were half price on the first day, 30% off on the second day, 10% off on the third day, and returned to original prices on the fourth day.

Such a huge discount attracted almost all the residents nearby, and those who were well-informed rushed to the grocery store overnight.

They saw with their own eyes a thin man and a group of young men unloading goods at the door of a grocery store. Unfortunately, the goods were tightly covered by sacks and they could not see what was inside.

Zheng Qing knew that the opening day would be busy, so he had the sales clerks write number tags overnight. The amount of goods sold each day was limited, and if the number exceeded, the store would be closed.

The grocery store used to open at eight in the morning, but today it opened an hour earlier. When they opened the door, not only Cheng Qiao, but all the sales clerks gasped.

The line was probably several hundred meters long, with people constantly joining. Cheng Qiao was having a headache because it was clearly written on her flyer that she would only receive one thousand customers on the first day.

"Distribute the number plates and use the loudspeaker to remind people that those with numbers above 1,000 should not queue up because there is no stock left."

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly, and personally held a big loudspeaker and went to distribute number plates with two salesmen. Those who got the number plates were naturally happy, and those who didn't get them were still unwilling to give up, as the discount was really too great.

"Comrade, please do me a favor. I came from a very far place. If I can't buy what I need, my round-trip fare will be wasted."

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it. My boss said to stop using backdoors. I can't help you."

"Why is your store like this? Do you still have any sense of humanity?"

"We are a grocery store, not a hospital. What does it have to do with human touch? Comrade, you are late. Please don't slander the reputation of our grocery store."

"that is…"

"I won't buy it. With your attitude, you will close down sooner or later."

"We don't know whether the store is closed or not, but I remember your face. You are never welcome in our grocery store."

Zheng Qing got angry and asked all the sales clerks to remember this woman's face. The girls all looked at her viciously, saying that she was so mean. She couldn't get what she wanted and yet she cursed our grocery store.

The woman felt a little regretful when she learned that she was remembered by someone, but the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back, so she could only leave angrily. Zheng Qing glanced at his watch and saw that there were still five minutes before the door would open.

"Everyone, our grocery store uses a self-service model. We allow 50 people in at a time, and everyone who enters has only half an hour to check out and leave."

"What do you mean, what is self-service mode?"

"I don't know. They closed the doors tightly. I couldn't see anything."

"What's your ranking?"

"It's exactly number 50. How lucky."

In the grocery store, Li's mother sat behind the tobacco and alcohol counter, feeling a little nervous. She had returned two days ago, and was sent back by Li Bing himself.

Seeing the two two-story buildings rising from the ground, I was happy for Li Huan and Cheng Qiao from the bottom of my heart.

"Mom, you are so lucky that you can still live in a villa when you are so old."

"Of course, smoke is coming out of the Li family's ancestral tomb."

"I hope Meili can give birth to a normal child."

Mother Li felt nervous, but thinking of Cheng Qiao's presence, she put the matter behind her. The most important thing now was to have a successful opening. With so many people queuing outside, she didn't know if it would be chaotic.

"What a coincidence! With so many people, will the grocery store burst?"

Cheng Qiao smiled and shook her head. She specially asked Shouhou to hire a few burly men to guard the door, letting fifty people in at a time, and then letting in as many people as needed when they left. There would definitely not be any chaos.

Only then did Li's mother nod her head in relief. As long as not a thousand people rushed in, everything would be fine. The gong outside was struck, and the first fifty people ran in excitedly.

As soon as they entered the door, someone asked them to take a big basket. At first they didn’t understand why the basket was for, until they found that all the goods were displayed in an open manner.

There are rows of shelves with a wide variety of goods. Just take what you want to buy, put it in the basket, and then go to the counter to check out.

"Wow, what's wrong with the boss of this shop? He can actually buy things this way. I like it. I can choose carefully."

"I like it too. There are so many things. I don't know if half an hour will be enough."

"Look, there are signs on each row of shelves, which sell oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."

"Then where can I buy the vanishing cream?"

"No, this is not a daily necessity."

"Oh my god, there are so many brands of vanishing cream, which one should I choose?"

"Just choose the one you used before."

"But... this one looks good. Oh, this one looks good too. What should I do?"

I only have so much money in my pocket, and I can't buy this or that if I buy this. Fortunately, there is a 50% discount today, so many people picked and chose and returned home with a lot of things.

Those who went out were full of praise for this novel way of selling, which opened their eyes. The people waiting in line behind were extremely anxious, but they could only wait patiently.

They cursed in their hearts, asking why the other person hadn't come out after being in there for so long. But when it was their turn to go in, they were reluctant to leave. There were so many things they liked that they could only select as many as possible.

People are constantly coming in and out, big shopping baskets are constantly turning over, and goods are constantly being added to the shelves. Each step is carried out in an orderly manner without any panic.

Li Bing looked at the self-service sales model in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh that Cheng Qiao deserved to make money, whether it was the wholesale market in Xiangyang County or the grocery store here, they were all doing very well.

Cheng Qiao didn’t know what Li Bing was thinking, otherwise she would definitely blush. It was only when she went to a big city for a trip in her previous life that she discovered this kind of sales method. It was just copying the same thing.

When Li Cheng saw his father coming, he was scared. He didn't want to go back with his father because his mother had a little monster in her belly that would eat him.

Li Bing knew what the little guy was thinking at a glance, and secretly hated Yuan Qin for the evil he had done, which had made his son become a frightened bird.

"Son, would you please let daddy hug you?"

"Will you take me back?"

"Do you want to go home?"

"No...I don't want to..."

Li Cheng kept backing away, looking around for Cheng Qiao, but his second aunt was busy and couldn't pay any attention to him.

Brother Li Ming said that the grocery store would be open today and there would be a lot of people, so he asked him to follow grandma and brother.

"Second Aunt...save me..."

Cheng Qiao was acting as a cashier, counting money for customers. When Li Cheng shouted at her, she almost miscalculated the number. She turned around and saw Li Ming chasing Li Cheng towards her. She had to hurry up and finish the job in hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Second Aunt, I don't want to go back with Dad."

"If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Why are you crying? Second Aunt's grocery store is opening today. What if the business is bad if you cry?"

Lee Seung~

He swallowed the sob in his throat, and even though there were tears in his eyes, he was already grinning.
