"Hey, how can it be so fast? There aren't even many people in yet,"

"Hey, I knew it! Dad, look what I brought you! A megaphone! I've already recorded it beforehand. I'll hang it on the door and play it later. It'll definitely work better than you shouting it yourself."

Old Xu perked up immediately, "Then what are you waiting for? Hang it up now and attract people over. Forget it, I'll do it myself, you can go away."

After saying that, he took the megaphone from his son and hung it on the door, then turned it on.

"Old Xu's Grocery Store is now open! Grand opening specials: spend 10 yuan and get two eggs free, spend 20 yuan and get four eggs free, the more you buy, the more you get! Come and take a look!" The loudspeaker attracted all the elderly ladies who were strolling around nearby.

"Are you really giving away eggs? You're not lying?" An old lady carrying a vegetable basket walked briskly over and immediately asked about the eggs, which was what she cared about most.

"Really, how could I lie to you? Sister, come in and have a look. We're a new store opening, and some things are sold at a loss. Come in and pick something out." Granny Liu greeted the customer as soon as she saw her.

The old lady was overjoyed to hear that it was true, and said with a smile, "That's great! We've just run out of rice and flour at home, so I'll buy some from you."

"Okay, you choose. Buying now is the most cost-effective option."

"Hey, why is your soy sauce a dollar cheaper than the one at the previous store? And the MSG too? Is there really nothing wrong with it?" The old lady picked up a bottle of soy sauce and looked at it. She found that it was the same kind of soy sauce she usually ate, but the He Family Grocery Store in front of her was a dollar more expensive.

Zhang Xuemei smiled and explained, "How could that be? Our goods are all newly arrived and the freshest. We mainly want to attract customers for our new business. We'll need your continued support in the future."

"Right? I love listening to what you say, my little wife. Unlike that other family, they're so arrogant. The other day I asked why the soy sauce was so expensive, and she said I was making trouble for no reason. She even said that we old ladies just love to take advantage of others. Can you believe it? I'm giving them money, and they still treat me like this."

The old lady got angry whenever she thought about it, so angry that she left without even buying soy sauce.

"Oh dear, that won't do. We're just being frugal; how is that taking advantage? From now on, you should buy from my store, and I'll give you a discount." Granny Liu acted as if she were looking out for the old lady.

The old lady's face wrinkled with laughter when she heard what Granny Liu said, and she said repeatedly, "You said it yourself, so you have to give me a discount when I buy things from your store in the future."

"That's for sure, and you'll have to introduce customers to me too."

We were chatting when the area outside was filled with customers who had been drawn in by the loudspeaker.

"Look everyone, this is it! They're giving away eggs for their grand opening. We'll buy some for our family anyway, so we might as well buy them here and avoid the wrath of the previous store." You could tell from that comment that they were definitely upset by the previous store.

"Hey, that's right. This place is cheaper than the one before. I've checked with them, and they're all genuine. Buy whatever you need here. The owner is this young lady; she's very honest. These discounts are only available for the first three days, so don't miss out."

Zhang Xuemei smiled as she looked at the old lady who seemed more like the boss than them. They didn't even need to advertise; people came on their own.

"Boss, I want to buy rice and flour, but it's too heavy to carry back. Could you leave it here for me and my son come to carry it after he gets off work?"

Old Xu pointed to Xu Minghan, who was standing at the door, and said, "What's the big deal? You live nearby, so leave your address and my son will deliver it to you."

"Is this alright?" the old lady asked hesitantly.

"Why not? We're opening today, and we'll deliver heavy items like rice and flour to your door, so you'd better hurry if you want to buy them."

"Okay, I'll buy a bag of rice too. It won't spoil anyway. Can you calculate how many eggs I can get?" The old lady said, pointing to the bag of rice, a bag of flour, and several bottles of soy sauce and vinegar she had taken.

Granny Liu happily picked up the calculator and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll calculate it for you."

As time went on, more and more people came to the market. Everyone loves to join in the fun, and seeing the crowd gathered here, they all came over.

"Hey, why are there so many people here?"

"I heard they give away eggs with purchases. We're going to buy something anyway, shall we go check it out?"

"Go ahead, it's free..."

Old Xu's grocery store was bustling with activity, with people coming and going, while He Guixiang was quite envious.

"How shameless! They actually came up with such a despicable idea to steal business and rob all their customers!" He Guixiang said angrily, leaning against the doorway and looking ahead.

Chen Dahai looked at his angry wife and comforted her, "It's okay, it'll only be for a couple of days. They can't deliver eggs every day."

"These people are really something, they were bribed with just a couple of eggs. No way, I have to go and see for myself, this is no business." He Guixiang stood up somewhat unwillingly, she wanted to see what the Xu family was up to.

"Hey, don't go. You'll just get angry if you see this," Chen Dahai quickly pulled his wife back. The crowds in front of other people's doors were huge, while there wasn't even a fly in front of theirs. The difference was just too great.

"How about we also send eggs?" He Guixiang's eyes lit up, wanting to join in the trend. She could afford to send eggs.

"Isn't that unnecessary? They only deliver eggs for the first three days, and then they stop. We'll just have to put up with it for three more days." Chen Dahai didn't want to follow suit. Anyway, there were only two grocery stores in the market, so they could still make a living.

"With your meager abilities, this business was originally our family's exclusive business, and now someone else is trying to steal it, and you don't dare to utter a single word. It's infuriating!"

Chen Dahai remained silent even as his wife pointed her finger at him and berated him. He simply grinned and said, "Guixiang, Uncle has told us many times not to cause trouble. Let's not make things difficult for him."

When He Guixiang heard her husband mention her cousin, she couldn't help but feel deflated. The reason they were able to buy the shop at such a low price was entirely due to her cousin's support, and she dared not upset him again.

"Forget it, let's not bother with them. In a couple of days, have someone go to their store and see what they sell and how much they cost."

"Guixiang, isn't this inappropriate?" Chen Dahai hesitated, feeling embarrassed.

"What do you know? This is called knowing yourself and your enemy. Only in this way can we defeat them."

"I think if you hadn't insisted on raising prices, the customers wouldn't have left."

"What did you say?" He Guixiang asked, frowning, as she saw her husband muttering to himself.

Chen Dahai was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I said I would find someone to check on their family situation."
