Chapter 1941 Master Yang is here
Qi Lie walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Meng Yunzheng lagged behind, turned his head and winked at Shu Yu, then followed her out.
The next moment, the customers in the shop erupted in a 'boom'.
"Buy! I want to buy sunflower oil, give me one can, no, two big cans."
"I want some too! I want some too!"
"I was here first, hurry up and pack it for me, three cans, I want three cans."
"And me too, don't sell them all, save some for me."
Everyone rushed to the oil counter. Shu Yu had anticipated this situation the moment she saw Qi Lie speak. She immediately gave Da Niu a wink. Da Niu had witnessed the opening of the Dong'an Prefecture shop and quickly realized what was going on. He pulled Meng Qi, who had come to help, to the sunflower oil counter first.
Sure enough, as soon as Qi Lie stepped out, everyone started crowding forward. He quickly tried to maintain order, saying, "One at a time. We still have plenty of stock in our warehouse, so don't rush. Everyone will get some."
Qi Lie's guarantee was like a shot of adrenaline to everyone. The customers who were originally skeptical about sunflower oil instantly lost their doubts and bought it without saying a word.
This stuff is supplied to the palace, and even Lord Qi raved about it; it's not available anywhere else. Even if they can't finish it themselves, giving it away as a gift is a very prestigious thing to do.
Some wealthy families who had initially been reserved and wanted to wait until there were fewer customers before entering, immediately abandoned their plans upon seeing the frenzy. If they waited any longer, the number of customers wouldn't decrease, but the goods would be sold out.
He immediately ordered his servants to squeeze in and start frantically hawking his wares.
Sunflower oil is quite expensive, so ordinary people without much money can only look on with envy, even if they really want it. But if they can't afford sunflower oil, they can always afford sunflower seeds. Instant noodles are also a staple food and very practical.
In no time, the entire shop was packed with people.
Ying Xi and Meng Han were maintaining order, their voices were hoarse from shouting, and they also had to answer questions from various guests.
Shu Yu had already returned behind the counter to start collecting money and calculating accounts. She worked quickly, her mental arithmetic almost on par with Meng Yunzheng's. With so many customers, only she could handle it.
After a long day of busy work collecting and giving change, my hands were sore from all the money.
The frenzy lasted until almost noon before finally subsiding, and the surrounding shopkeepers who had been watching the commotion breathed a sigh of relief.
This is ridiculous! Is this a normal number of visitors? Has the entire city come?
Shu Yu took advantage of her free time to have people take turns eating lunch, so there was definitely no rest at noon, and the guests kept coming and going.
Much of the goods that were originally displayed in the shop had been used up, so Shu Yu asked Da Niu to bring some more out of the warehouse to refill the counter.
Just as we restocked, a whole bunch of people came over from outside, creating quite a stir.
"Your Highness, we've come to offer our congratulations."
Shu Yu looked closely and exclaimed, "Good heavens, aren't these Master Yang, He Er, and Young Master He? Why are they all here?"
Master Yang and the others were all holding congratulatory gifts. Jiang Fengshou didn't recognize them, and only accepted the gifts after Shu Yu nodded.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Master Yang, what brings you here?"
"It's a joyous occasion for the county magistrate's grand opening, how could we not come?" As they spoke, everyone turned to look at the shop.
Hmm... there are quite a few customers. But it seems like not many people are actually buying anything; the shop's inventory hasn't been used up much.
