With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the department store finally announced that the pickled vegetables available for tasting before the official sale will begin tomorrow.
Many people who heard the news rushed to the department store to confirm whether it was true.
"Yes, it will officially go on sale tomorrow morning."
"There's no stock available right now; it will be available tomorrow."
"Don't worry, there's enough stock, so you don't have to worry about not being able to buy it."
The sales clerks at the pickled vegetable counter were repeating the same conversation countless times.
When Huang Qinqin arrived, she saw that the girls looked utterly hopeless.
Somewhat amused, he asked, "Is it really that bad? You guys seem completely drained."
The sales clerk leaned over the counter and sighed deeply: "As for it, I'm so tired of talking about it."
"I have a feeling that tomorrow morning, a huge number of people will come to buy pickled vegetables."
As they were talking, someone else came over and asked if there would be pickled vegetables for sale tomorrow.
Seeing this, Huang Qinqin suggested to them, "How about this, I'll go back to my office now and write two announcements for you."
"We'll put one on the main entrance and one on the counter."
"That way, some literate people won't need to ask you, okay?"
The sales clerks' eyes lit up: "Great! Qinqin, you're so quick-witted! We'll have to trouble you then!"
Sure enough, after Huang Qinqin posted the notice, the number of people coming to ask questions immediately decreased by more than half.
Although there are still some people who cannot read, this is much better than before.
Seeing so many people looking forward to their village's pickled vegetables, Huang Qinqin felt that their village's pickled vegetables might actually be able to go abroad and earn foreign exchange for the country.
......
The next morning, before the department store officially opened, a large crowd was already waiting outside.
Some passersby, thinking that the department store was having a sale today, also joined in the fun.
This caused more and more people to gather outside.
Upon seeing the crowd outside, Manager Gao immediately decided, "Leave one salesperson on duty at each of the other counters today."
"All remaining sales staff, go down to the first floor to help. The warehouse also needs to be prepared."
"Fang Chuchu, you are in charge of checking the inventory of pickled vegetables on the counter. If you find that the inventory is not enough, immediately notify your colleagues in the warehouse to send more goods up."
"Everyone must be on high alert today. I have received a notice from above that leaders will be coming to inspect at any time in the next few days."
"Did you hear me?!"
"Listen carefully!"
Manager Gao nodded in satisfaction, glanced at the time, and said, "Very good, we're about to open. Everyone, get back to your posts quickly."
Huang Qinqin was standing next to Manager Gao, and she was already preparing to go down to the first floor, but she suddenly remembered something.
"Manager Gao, shall we take some photos with the camera later?"
"If there is a need to submit articles in the future, or if it is to be shown to foreigners, having a photo would be better."
These photos of people rushing to buy things might even give foreigners a little shock.
We can also help them raise the price of pickled vegetables, so that the price will definitely not be the same for both our own people and outsiders.
Manager Gao knew Huang Qinqin was quick-witted and praised her, "Good idea."
After everything was ready, the two went downstairs and found that there were not only many people buying pickled vegetables, but each person was buying quite a lot.
Huang Qinqin could also faintly hear the voices of the people behind her discussing something.
"Are they fighting over defective fabric inside? Why are there so many people?"
"No, it's pickled vegetables. The kind that was given out for free at the department store a while ago."
"Are you going to fight over pickled vegetables? I thought they were something valuable."
"You don't know, this pickled vegetable is special, it's really delicious! I'm planning to buy a lot, I can give some away as gifts."
"Really? Then I'll buy a bottle and try it."
The person who came with her asked, puzzled, "But you've never even tried that pickled vegetable, how do you know if it's really delicious?"
"Oh my, so many people are buying pickled vegetables, they must taste pretty good."
"And most importantly, since I've already come all this way and waited outside for so long, I can't just go back empty-handed, can I?"
After saying that, she started to squeeze in.
Huang Qinqin paid special attention to this person and discovered that when she came out after buying the product, she had bought more than one bottle.
This is normal, since there are three other types of pickled vegetables available this time, besides sauerkraut which is not yet on sale.
Manager Gao only stayed for a short while before leaving.
After confirming that the photos had been taken, Huang Qinqin prepared to return to her office.
However, just as they were about to go back, they saw Wang Yingxue and Aunt Wang coming over.
Seeing them squeezing in with the others, Huang Qinqin greeted them, "Sister-in-law, Aunt Wang, come over here."
Upon hearing Huang Qinqin's voice, Wang Yingxue pulled Aunt Wang aside and said, "Aunt Wang, Qinqin is calling us over."
Aunt Wang heard this too, and remembering that Huang Qinqin also worked at the department store, she immediately gave up on going to squeeze into the crowd.
The two of them walked towards Huang Qinqin without any hesitation.
"Sister-in-law, Aunt Wang, are you here to buy pickled vegetables too?"
Huang Qinqin originally thought they would answer yes, but she saw Wang Yingxue and Aunt Wang shake their heads in unison.
Huang Qinqin: ? ? ?
"Is it a place that sells pickled vegetables? Then why are there so many people there?"
Aunt Wang had no idea what was being sold here; she simply came over to join the fun because there were so many people.
The mindset was that something so many people were vying to buy must be a good thing.
Even if she didn't know what they were selling inside, Aunt Wang was still going in to buy some.
Huang Qinqin nodded: "Yes, that's where they sell pickled vegetables. Aunt Wang, if you want some, I can get you a few bottles."
Huang Qinqin realized that people always love to join in the fun, no matter when.
The more crowded a place is, the more they want to go and see it.
The same applies to buying things; the more people rush to buy, the more people will buy.
Once people gather around, they'll impulsively buy things regardless of whether they need them or not.
The atmosphere was already so inviting that if I didn't buy anything, I'd feel like I was letting myself down after all the effort I put into getting here.
Aunt Wang was the same; if she saw pickled vegetables at the department store, she wouldn't buy them.
But now that she sees so many people buying it, she has a feeling that she'll be missing out if she doesn't buy it.
"Yes! Qinqin, what kinds of pickled vegetables are in there? Which one is the most popular?"
Aunt Wang finally decided to buy it. Not only did she want to buy it herself, she even asked Wang Yingxue if she wanted to buy it too.
"Jianguo's wife, would you like to buy some too?"
