Chapter 254 I drive away everyone who comes in
The store was noisy and the crowded customers were very angry. Some even took advantage of the situation and grabbed 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 customers who came in normally to go out, but the person who shouted the loudest kept 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 other things as well.
This time, when selling white-feathered broiler chickens, it would be 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 traveled a long way. 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 instructed Ye Zhaodi to tell all the guests who had made reservations to come and pick up the chickens after 10 o'clock in the morning. If they came too early, it might be 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 strange 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 it’s women who get up early to buy vegetables and meat. It’s a rare thing to meet three “househusbands” at once.
After a brief moment of 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. She is too careless to watch the noise.
Ye Zhaodi was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, "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, 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.
"Sister, have some candy... Sister, have some sunflower seeds... Sister, I'm so sorry, the chickens we sell are all authentic free-range chickens. They have to be delivered from a nearby village, and 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 15 cents. Chu Yue's hand is at least worth a few cents, so she can 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 to eat, 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 aunt, 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 seen, so they deliberately looked around and stopped making noises to cover up their behavior.
The troublemaker said in a gruff voice, "Haha, you're the boss? You seem quite sensible. For the sake of having something to eat, I'll wait a bit."
As he spoke, the troublemaker reached out to take the melon seeds and candies from Chu Yue's hand.
It wasn't the kind of thing where he reached out and grabbed 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 troublemaker stretched out his hand, she immediately took two steps back, making the man's outstretched hand fall empty.
The man's face darkened instantly, and he angrily demanded, "What do you mean? You don't want to give it to me? Fine...fine...I think you can forget about opening this shop. Just smash it up!"
"Hey, big brother, don't be impatient. I'm open for business and I treat all customers equally. As long as you're here to buy something, I will treat you with all my heart. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll give you as much peanuts and sunflower seeds as you can eat. It's all free. I won't charge you a penny."
When Chu Yue said this, someone on the side said a few times, "The boss is so generous."
The troublemaker's expression softened, and he stared at Chu Yue with a sneer, "You talk so nicely, why don't you give me the things? I want them all, hurry up and give them to me!"
The man had the air of a street urchin, looked fierce, spoke rudely, and was obviously a second-rate person.
Chu Yue wasn't intimidated by him at all, still holding onto the melon seeds in her hand. "Did you hear what I just said? I'm talking about customers who are genuinely here to buy things, aren't you?"
"Why am I not?" the troublemaker replied, "I came here to buy chicken today. It's not that you don't have any, but it's not that I don't want to buy."
"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 to the records in the notebook and said, "The chickens we sell in our store must be reserved in advance. Only those with reservations can buy them. Those without reservations are not allowed to buy them. Big brother, you said you came to buy chicken, so tell me, what date did you make the reservation? What is 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 casually replied, "It's written on a big sign outside the store. Am I blind and can't see it?"
Chu Yue sneered, "All the chickens in stock were reserved two days ago, and the sign was taken down two days ago. You didn't even know you had to make a reservation to buy chicken, so how did you know we sell chicken? Who are you? Why are you making trouble in my store? Who's behind you? I advise you to explain yourself as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Chu Yue pressed the issue 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 against Chu Yue, so he just fought fiercely, "You bitch, you think you're so great just because you opened a shop? You're still a woman, but I won't leave your shop today! I'll chase away everyone who comes in, leaving you with no business. You still dare to threaten me, let me see what you can do!"
