The next day, the villagers nervously stepped into the inn's lobby and saw a large crowd gathered in front of the job postings. Before they could even marvel at the inn's magic, they quickly picked out the positions that suited them best.
Chang Jin, Chef Sun, and others sat behind a row of tables, assessing the applicants one by one. A long queue gradually formed in front of them.
An Ge felt that this scene was somewhat similar to some job fairs in her previous life.
The recruitment assessment was conducted by the respective responsible persons, and An Ge, seeing that the recruitment was gradually getting on track, stopped interfering.
To Ange's surprise, the kitchen staff also found a promising talent.
"His skills have been affected by the times and his appearance isn't particularly good, but fortunately, he has a good understanding of things," Chef Sun commented.
The final result was satisfactory. The shortage of manpower in the logging team and the land reclamation team was greatly alleviated. In addition to adding a sous chef, the kitchen also had several more kitchen helpers.
Almost every family had someone hired, with an even higher proportion of women being selected. In the past, people would have worried that women doing housework would corrupt social customs, but this was a celestial realm where even the immortals thought it was fine, so naturally they had no complaints.
He secretly resolved to work hard and strive for the opportunity to work for the immortals next time.
The women who were hired were overjoyed. They worked at the inn without worrying about gossip at all.
Those who weren't hired weren't too disappointed. The manager said that there would be many vacant positions at the inn in the future, and as long as I didn't cheat or shirk my responsibilities, I would have a chance.
In Xiashui Village, Xiu Niang rushed home with excitement. Upon seeing her mother-in-law, she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Mom, I... I got the job!"
The old woman was initially worried when she saw her daughter-in-law crying, but she was stunned when she heard these words.
"Xiuniang, is Mother getting senile? How come I heard you say that you've been recruited by the immortals?"
Xiu Niang stopped crying and smiled, then took her mother-in-law's hand and said solemnly, "It's true, I'll be working in the kitchen from now on."
The old woman, her eyes also brimming with tears, stammered for a moment before finally managing to say, "Quick, go tell Zhu Zi the good news."
"Hey!" Xiu Niang quickly went inside to share her joy with her husband.
Upon hearing the news, the man was first stunned, then burst into tears.
Xiu Niang gently patted the man's back, silently keeping him company. She knew her husband was sad and guilty, and worried that he might do something foolish. Now that she had been hired, the couple was filled with hope for the future.
An Ge never expected that a kind act would save a family's fate.
After a brief training session, the employees began working. With the manpower replenished, Ango was finally able to open its supermarket and Shengquan stores.
It was 8 a.m., the supermarket's opening day. Even before the appointed time, a long queue had already formed outside. People peered in with curiosity, eager to be among the first to go inside and have a look.
"I heard that you can buy a lot of things in a supermarket. Is it like a general store?"
"Can a general store compare to a fairy's shop?"
"Hehe, I was just using a metaphor. Once we have supermarkets, I won't have to make people run back and forth to the market to buy things. It will be much more convenient."
"Who can argue with that?"
The sounds of conversation rose and fell, all revealing the crowd's anticipation for the supermarket.
At 8 o'clock, the supermarket doors opened, and people entered the supermarket in order.
Upon entering the gate, everyone was immediately attracted by the dazzling array of goods.
The uniformly dressed employees were all in high spirits and smiling as they guided customers through their shopping.
Following the shop assistant's directions, the crowd, some carrying shopping carts and others pushing small carts, walked between the rows of shelves, looking at the unfamiliar products and whispering among themselves.
The supermarket's merchandise was selected by Ango based on local goods, but some electrical appliances and other items have not yet been added.
Even so, customers were overwhelmed by the choices. When they found something they liked, they added it to their cart without even checking the price. It wasn't until checkout that they realized they had spent a fortune.
Some people hesitated for a long time, reluctant to put anything back, but finally gritted their teeth and bought everything, comforting themselves that they would never spend money so recklessly again next time.
Ange hadn't planned any activities, but the supermarket's sales figures still surprised her at the end of the day.
"Are these people here to buy more goods? The shelves are almost empty."
"They probably only felt it was new on the first day; they probably won't generate this much revenue in the future," Hu Jiu analyzed.
"That's a considerable income! It makes me realize once again that selling things is more profitable than running an inn!"
Hu Jiu shook his head with amusement; his shop manager seemed to still be somewhat unwilling to give up on selling Dongben.
“Host…” came 777’s aggrieved voice.
"I know, I know, I was just thinking about it, look how anxious you are." An Ge said to the system in her mind, speechless. "But, system, we should remove the purchase restrictions in the mall. The mall has so many customers, all thanks to our products that have gained popularity."
"Then I'll do as the host says." Perhaps seeing that An Ge genuinely wanted to run the inn well during this time, 777 had no more concerns.
An Ge mentally gave herself a thumbs up! Her little system wasn't completely heartless, after all; she had misunderstood 777 before.
When An Ge told Yun Mo the news, Yun Mo was so happy that she kept grinning like an idiot.
"Store manager, how about we make a deal? There are so many novel items in the supermarket, could you give me the distribution rights for them all?"
"Don't even think about it. At most, we'll add a few more categories for you." This was a decision made after An Ge and 777 discussed it. After all, her main focus was still on developing the inn, and having Yun Mo act as its agent was merely to expand the inn's influence.
Moreover, Ange had no intention of drastically changing the way people live in this world. Leapfrogging development without historical foundation would not benefit the people.
