The store was noisy and the crowded customers were very angry. Some even took advantage of the situation and snatched things from the counter. If Ye Zhaodi hadn't been quick-witted, the items would have been stolen.
Bang!
Ye Zhaodi slapped the thief's hand hard, scaring him, and then quickly hugged the things on the counter tightly in her arms.
In this situation, simply appeasing the guests is no longer effective, and new solutions must be found quickly.
"Sister Yue, they are making a fuss. What should we do now?" Ye Zhaodi quickly asked Chu Yue for help.
Chu Yue and Ye Zhaodi explained everything that needed to be explained and comforted everyone that needed to be comforted, but to no avail. Someone kept shouting "swindler" and asked the normal customers to go out. However, the person who was shouting the loudest was standing in the middle of the shop, neither moving forward nor backward, but shouting the loudest.
There was something wrong at first glance, and Chu Yue frowned at Chen Chen.
And it's not just this that's problematic, there are others as well.
This time, when selling white-feathered broiler chickens, it was too troublesome for Chu Yue to bring all of them down because there were more than a dozen to sell at a time. Therefore, Song Dashun no longer delivered the goods to the compound, but directly to the store in the city.
Chu Yue knew that Song Dashun had come out of the mountains and had a long way to go. His means of transportation was a donkey cart borrowed from the village chief's family, so he would definitely arrive in the city late.
So she specifically told Ye Zhaodi to tell all the guests who had made reservations to come and pick up the chickens after 10 a.m., as if they came too early they might make a wasted trip.
It's only half past nine now, and the store is suddenly crowded with so many people. It's definitely not normal.
The third weird thing is that three of these people are men, and the loudest voice is also a man’s.
It’s not that men can’t buy chickens, but generally speaking, it’s mostly women who get up early to buy vegetables and meat. It’s rare to encounter three “house husbands” at once.
After a brief thought, Chu Yue hurriedly said to Ye Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, give me a bag of melon seeds."
Melon seeds... ?
Is Chu Yue watching her own fun and planning to eat melon seeds while watching?
This shop is hers. It's really too careless for her to still have the mood to watch the fun despite such a quarrel.
Ye Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Sister Yue, let's not do this..."
"Give it to me quickly." Chu Yue didn't have time to explain. She urged Ye Zhaodi and grabbed a handful of candy from the glass counter. When Ye Zhaodi brought the melon seeds over, she put the fruit candy in the melon seeds and mixed them together.
Chu Yue walked out from behind the counter and stuffed a handful of melon seeds and candies into the hands of everyone she met.
"Big sister, have some candy... Big sister, have some melon seeds... Big sister, I'm so sorry, the chickens we sell are all authentic free-range chickens, and they have to be delivered from the nearby village. The journey is a bit far, so they haven't arrived yet. Please wait a moment, wait a moment... Eat something, it's on me."
Melon seeds are not worth much, but candy is valuable.
Aunties who come out to buy vegetables usually quarrel with vegetable vendors over 1.5 cents. Chu Yue's money is at least worth a few cents. Just wait a while. Time is not valuable anyway.
There were also a few aunts who had already walked to the door and were about to leave. When they saw the melon seeds, they immediately stopped and waited by the door for Chu Yue to share some with them.
Chu Yue went around and distributed the food to each auntie, thus successfully keeping the guests.
As the aunts began to crack melon seeds, the shouting of a few men who were originally mixed in with them became particularly obvious. They were afraid of being noticed, so they deliberately looked around and stopped making noises to cover up.
The troublemaker said in a gruff voice, "Haha, you are the boss? It seems you are quite sensible. For the sake of having something to eat, I will wait a little longer."
As he spoke, the troublemaker reached out to take the melon seeds and candies in Chu Yue's hand.
It wasn't the kind of thing where he wanted to grab a handful, but he wanted to snatch everything from Chu Yue's hands.
Chu Yue had anticipated the man's greed, so as soon as the man stretched out his hand, she immediately took two steps back, causing the man's outstretched hand to fall empty.
The man's face darkened instantly, and he asked angrily, "What do you mean? You don't want to give it to me? Fine...fine...I think you can forget about opening this store, just destroy it!"
"Big brother, please don't be impatient. I'm a business owner and I treat all my customers equally. As long as you are here to buy something, I will treat you with all my heart. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I will give you as much peanuts and melon seeds as you like. It's all free. I won't charge you a penny."
When Chu Yue said this, someone on the side said a few words, "The boss is really generous."
The troublemaker then relaxed his expression and stared at Chu Yue with a sneer, "You talk so nicely, why don't you give me the things! I want them all, why don't you give them to me now!"
The man had the air of a street urchin, looked fierce, spoke rudely, and was obviously a second-rate person.
Chu Yue was not afraid of him at all, and still held the melon seeds in her hand tightly, "Did you hear what I just said? I'm talking about customers who come here sincerely to buy things, right?"
"Why am I not?" the troublemaker kept yelling in response, "I came here to buy chicken today. It's just that your store doesn't have any, not that I don't want to buy any."
"So you're here to buy chickens..." Chu Yue nodded as if she understood, with a sharp look in her eyes. She immediately turned to Ye Zhaodi and said, "Zhaodi, take out your notebook."
"Sister Ayue, I'm here." Ye Zhaodi came out with her little notebook.
Chu Yue pointed at the records on the notebook and said, "The chickens sold in our store must be booked in advance. Only those who have made a reservation can buy them. Those who don't have a reservation cannot buy them. Big brother, you said you came to buy chickens, so tell me, what date did you make the reservation? What's the name of the person who made the reservation?"
"I..." The troublemaker couldn't say that. "Why do you call me that? I just came here to buy chicken today, what's wrong with that?"
Chu Yue asked again, "How did you know we sell chicken in our store?"
The troublemaker replied casually, "There's a big sign outside the store saying it, am I blind and can't see it?"
Chu Yue smiled coldly, "All the chickens in stock were reserved two days ago, and the sign was taken down two days ago. You don't even know that you need to make a reservation to buy chicken, so how do you know that we sell chicken? Who are you? Why are you making trouble in my store? Who is behind you? I advise you to explain it clearly as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Chu Yue pressed the question again and again, and the man who was causing the trouble showed obvious panic on his face, and it was obvious that he was guilty.
He couldn't win over Chu Yue, so he just fought fiercely, "You bitch, you think you are so great just because you opened a store? You are still a woman, I will not leave your store today! I will drive away everyone who comes in, so that you will have no business. You dare to threaten me, let's see what you can do!"
