A few days later, Ling Laosi officially opened the grocery store in the town.

Meng Qidi asked Xiao Meng to take care of the family and went to the town to help.

Xiao Meng didn't dare to appear in front of Chujiu and could only sit on the rooftop wall. It was because the child couldn't keep a secret.

Ling Laosi’s advertisement was very successful. When Meng Qidi went there, a group of villagers were waiting at the door. When they saw Meng Qidi coming, they greeted her enthusiastically.

It was difficult to squeeze into the store.

Ling Fugui and his wife were helping out in the store. This was the first time that Meng Qidi, Ling Fugui's wife, met them. Seeing the two of them getting close together, she asked, "Aunt?"

The woman smiled at her, "Xiao Qi."

After saying hello, Meng Qidi looked around and decided to help with the bill keeping and settlement. There were many people here today and they might get confused.

Ling Laosi naturally agreed to let the college student help with the accounting and settlement, and hurriedly helped to move the stools.

When they sat down, Meng Qidi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are there so many people in the village? How did you tell the villagers?"

Ling Laosi was a little embarrassed. "Didn't you ask me to give the villagers a discount? I thought since we are all villagers, I will give a 50% discount."

Meng Qidi twitched her lips, "What about in the future? It's also half price. Do you think they will be happy if the price goes up in the future? Put yourself in their shoes. When you first opened a store, you bought five eggs for five cents. Next time, you bought one for five cents. Would you do it?"

Ling Laosi was dumbfounded, "Then...what should I do..."

It's not up to him to decide whether to do it or not. They are selling it at such a low price, so there must be some profit. I guess he won't want to go next time.

Meng Qidi sighed, "What else can I do? Did you plan to break even or lose money today?"

"It's fine as long as I can break even. However, as it's like right now...it's okay even if I lose money." He just wanted to make money in the future.

“How much brown sugar do you have in your store?”

"Twenty to thirty kilograms."

"Okay, divide it into 300-400 grams of each bag and send it to me when the time comes."

"Xiao Qi, that's something valuable." Ling Fugui's wife Wen Feng felt a little painful, because brown sugar is a good thing.

Meng Qidi looked at Ling Laosi, "It depends on what he wants. Does he want the price to be suppressed in the future, or does he want to lose money on the brown sugar now?"

Brown sugar is the best thing these days, but it is often not available.

Although Ling Laosi felt pained, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just brown sugar!"

Compared with the lower prices in the future, he would rather lose money on brown sugar. Besides, the purchase price of the goods in this store is low to begin with, and he has raised it a little, so even if he really loses money, he won't.

Now that the decision had been made, Meng Qidi and the other two divided the brown sugar into bags, and Ling Laosi went out to explain and post a notice. Now there were two options in the store.

Villagers from Lingjia Village can buy things at half price today, or choose half a pound of brown sugar; while others will get two eggs when they check out, and an extra half a pound of brown sugar when they spend more than ten yuan.

The discount was changed, and everyone started to discuss it in low voices.

Of course, if there was no noise, everyone would know that brown sugar is something only city dwellers can have.

Ling Laosi, who came into the store, was a little excited. "No one objects."

Meng Qidi frowned, "Do you have a phone number for your store? I'll call Ling Xiao and ask him to bring back some brown sugar when he has time. It might not be enough."

Ling Laosi was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"

"If you have ten yuan to spend, you can get a bag of brown sugar, what would you choose?"

Ling Laosi...

Of course it’s ten bucks, don’t miss it…

Ling Fugui was given the task of making the phone call, but it would take several hours to go back and forth from the county town...

At eight o'clock, the sound of firecrackers rang out, and Ling Laosi's Laosi convenience store officially opened.

Just as Meng Qidi guessed, after buying things, most people in Lingjia Village chose brown sugar, while people from other villages also chose to spend more than ten yuan. However, there were also people who bought a little and got two eggs in return and waited and saw.

Ling Xiao rushed back at noon, delivered fifty kilograms of brown sugar and left again.

By the afternoon, only about ten kilograms of the nearly ninety kilograms of brown sugar were left...

The things in the store were basically cleared out. Ling Laosi originally wanted to take out the stock in the warehouse, but was stopped by Meng Qidi.

It closed around five o'clock.

After doing the math, after deducting the fifty kilograms of brown sugar from Meng Qidi and then deducting his purchase cost, including the free brown sugar and eggs, he still had about one or two hundred yuan in net profit.

This made Ling Laosi so happy that he almost jumped for joy, and even Ling Fugui and the other two looked at him with envy.

Meng Qidi hit her rudely, "Don't be too happy too soon. You only have so many people today because you opened your business. I don't think there will be many people tomorrow."

There are only so many sheep, and the wool that should be sheared has been sheared. People have bought what they need at home, so why would you be so foolish to buy more?

Ling Laosi was dumbfounded. "What should I do..."

"Starting tomorrow, all your prices will be lowered a little bit, by two cents. That shouldn't mean you won't lose money, right?"

Ling Laosi shook his head, "No, I'll just earn less."

"That's it, otherwise, they will probably go to the supply and marketing cooperative again." His price is the same as others. If there is no discount, who will come?

Ling Laosi nodded quickly, "What else needs to be done?"

"Every time there's a festival or something, there are always some promotions, giving away whatever is cheap, but no more discounts."

Ling Laosi's eyes lit up. He knew how to do this! "Can I get a discount on my birthday?"

Meng Qidi twitched the corner of her mouth, "Okay..."

Seeing that Ling Laosi no longer needed her, Meng Qidi took Ling Xiao's money to buy brown sugar and gas and prepared to go back. Anyway, she had done her best to teach and help, and there was nothing she could do if she lost money again...

After leaving the store, he took advantage of no one paying attention to himself and put the money directly into the space.
