Chapter 7
The next morning, Lin Gui woke up at around six o'clock because her biological clock had been maintained for two days. She turned over. Seeing that Lin Gui was moving, Dahuang immediately got up from his nest and walked to the head of Lin Gui's bed.
Then he opened his eyes and looked at her, wagging his tail. When Lin Gui and Da Huang looked at each other, the corners of Da Huang's mouth curled up, as if he was looking forward to Lin Gui playing with him, making Lin Gui feel embarrassed to stay in bed.
Finally got up and went to the small park to walk the dog.
The weather was cool, and the shop could open today after some cleaning up. Lin Gui was in a good mood. Da Huang solved his physiological problem in time and had a lot of fun playing with the puppies coming and going.
At eight o'clock, Lin Gui brought Da Huang to the door of Ertu Snack Shop after breakfast. The system acted quickly. After Lin Gui named the shop, it arranged for someone to come and install the sign.
The pet snack shop's sign has a childlike style, with patterns of cats, dogs and other small animals, making it stand out among the practical and old-fashioned shop signs around it.
009 raised his voice proudly: "Well, I designed this sign."
"Not bad." Lin Gui praised.
When I entered the store, I picked up the decorations I had bought earlier and got ready to work. I pulled up the door curtain to prevent outsiders from seeing what I was doing.
Lin Gui took the automatic filling shelf out of the system and found a good place to put it down. Da Huang was frightened when he saw that there was suddenly something on the open space and cried out twice. Lin Gui squatted down, touched Da Huang's head and comforted it.
Seeing that Lin Gui was not afraid, Dahuang slowly stood up and began to circle around the machine, then raised his hind legs and prepared to start marking.
Seeing Dahuang's preparatory movements, Lin Gui stopped it immediately. It would not do to mark the place without looking at the location. She would have to teach it well in the future.
After taking care of Da Huang, he looked at the machine carefully. No wonder the system said no one would doubt it. There was a large storage box above the machine with a lock on it. If it was said to be used to restock after closing the store, not many people would doubt it.
The machine is high, so the storage box is also high, but it does not affect people's sight. The middle is where the goods are placed. When the goods are running out, press the replenishment button and the goods will fall down from above to replenish them. People only need to organize them and then they can be sold.
One machine can support the transmission of two kinds of goods, one in front and one behind, which just covers Lin Gui’s current recipes. If he wants to expand the store in the future, he will have to buy more of this kind of machines.
009 comforted him in time: "Host, don't worry. These are essential supplies for opening a shop. You will definitely get them when you upgrade your rewards."
Lin Gui smiled and asked, "Can you find out about the reward?"
009 said guiltily, "It's almost there. This is still a bit difficult, but I've secretly seen what other systems have revealed, and generally, major material upgrades will be rewarded."
Lin Gui got the exact news and stopped joking with 009 and started to organize the decorations in the store.
Da Huang's nests were two: one at home and one in the shop. As the shop manager, I had to buy a chair for the cash register and a potted plant in the corner of the wall. I also had to prepare doormats for entering and leaving, and some other miscellaneous items. After that, the shop, although small, looked like it was being run seriously.
After finishing everything, Lin Gui started to process the shelf. He entered the information about dog bone biscuits and flavored beef according to the instructions, and the machine started working.
The replenishment button is fingerprint-recognized. Lin Gui set it to his own fingerprint. According to 009, this fingerprint can also be added or reduced, which is very convenient for Lin Gui to expand the store and increase staff in the future.
After pressing the button, the two snacks began to fall slowly and landed right on the corresponding grids below. Without worrying about making a mess, Lin Gui arranged the snacks in the grids neatly and took out a new flavor of beef for Dahuang to try.
Dahuang sniffed the palm-sized beef strips, and after deciding they were edible, he opened his mouth and picked them up. Perhaps the taste of the dried meat could only be felt after it entered his mouth. Before he put it in his mouth, Dahuang behaved very calmly, but after he picked it up and tasted it, he started drooling again.
While drooling, he took the dried meat into his newly bought nest, and lay down to savor it slowly.
Lin Gui believes that Flavored Beef is just beef jerky. It has no flavor, looks shiny and chewy, and seems to be very suitable for grinding teeth. At first glance, it is no different from the beef jerky currently on the market.
But 009 doesn't think so. He insists that the beef is of high-quality. The beef jerky is taken from the tendon part of the beef. The meat is firm, giving the pets a richer taste when biting. During the air-drying process, they add their world-specific plant essential oils to lock the fragrance in the meat and preserve it for a longer time.
This beef jerky is the best-selling food among teething foods.
Lin Gui listened to 009's description and almost felt hungry. He quickly re-set the prices for the two products. With the system's report, they were no longer "three-no" products. Lin Gui planned to sell the cookies for three yuan each and the beef jerky for fifteen yuan.
Looking at the tidied shop, Lin Guizai took careful photos and prepared to post them on his Moments to announce the grand opening.
When setting up the stall, Lin Gui specially applied for a work WeChat account and used it to add repeat customers. After counting the number of WeChat friends, he felt that the store's customer flow should not be a problem.
But we still have to do something to make the store attractive.
In another home, Cheng Qiang snatched the snacks from Ji Ji's mouth for the third time. Ever since he bought dog biscuits from Lin Gui last night, Ji Ji has changed his habit of not eating and has been acting coquettishly to trick the biscuits from Cheng Qiang.
Cheng Qiang originally planned to mix some biscuits into dog food so that Gigi could eat normally, but who knew that the little golden retriever had such a big mouth but was very sensitive in picking out food.
All the biscuit crumbs in a bowl of dog food were picked out, leaving only dog food. Seeing that there was no dog food left in the bowl, Gigi didn't eat the dog food and started rummaging through Cheng Qiang's drawer where pet food was kept. When he found the biscuits, he took them to Cheng Qiang and asked him to open the package.
Cheng Qiang was so focused on playing games that he didn't pay much attention at first. He just gave the child whatever he liked to eat, and people just brought it to him, so he just helped to open it.
As a result, when he finished the game and went out, he found that the dog food in the bowl was almost gone, but there were only about ten biscuits left. Seeing this, he immediately moved the biscuits to another place.
The little golden retriever stopped making a fuss when it was full at first, but refused to eat the next day. However, it was still very active in eating biscuits. Cheng Qiang was speechless, but he was reluctant and didn't know how to discipline it. The little golden retriever Jiji was a super well-behaved puppy, but he was just a picky eater.
Just when he was at a loss, he saw Lin Guifa’s circle of friends, “The second pet snack shop is open” with a picture of Dahuang’s profile with his head tilted back.
Cheng Qiang planned to follow his previous practice and only buy dog food that Jiji liked, so he started asking Lin Gui if there was any dog food as delicious as the biscuits.
King Jiji was so anxious: "Boss, congratulations on the opening of your store. Do you sell dog food? Jiji is too picky and only eats biscuits now."
Not long after Lin Gui posted the message on WeChat Moments, Cheng Qiang greeted him. After reading the question carefully, he replied, "The store has just opened, so we haven't sold any staple foods yet. However, we've added beef jerky, which is great for dogs to grind their teeth and help pass the time."
"Okay, okay, I'll go check it out when I have time." Cheng Qiang was disappointed after replying Lin Gui's message, but he was still ready to go check it out. At this time, Ji Ji found a new hiding place for Xiaobingchuan and started rummaging through the cabinets. Cheng Qiang saw it and hurriedly tried to stop him.
After Lin Gui replied to Cheng Qiang's message, he changed the note for him and thought about whether the staple food business was good or not. He opened the system panel and found that the menu in the mall required 5 system currencies. Now, the staple food menu could not be obtained through this method.
009: "Is the host planning to sell dog food?"
Lin Gui: "If we have this plan, the snack system should also have a staple food menu. From a long-term perspective, the sales of snacks are far less than those of staple foods."
"Of course it's in the mall, but the host needs to level up quickly. Maybe it's among the rewards after you level up."
Lin Gui always felt that the system was hinting at something. It seemed that 009 was about to grow up. In order to increase its popularity, Lin Gui decided to distribute flyers and spread its fame within the community first. After all, there were many families in the community who kept cats and dogs.
Having made this decision, he immediately took Da Huang to a nearby printing shop. Da Huang gnawed on the piece of beef jerky, nestling comfortably on the mat that Lin Gui had just bought. When he saw Lin Gui moving, he turned his head to look at her, and then continued to gnaw on the beef jerky with great concentration.
Lin Gui could only violently snatch the food from the dog's mouth, but luckily Da Huang was not guarding the food. The beef jerky was very durable, and Da Huang only broke a little after chewing it for so long.
009 then said, "So this beef jerky is super cost-effective."
When they arrived at the printing shop, the owner knew Lin Gui. Lin Gui had printed everything here since she was a child. She looked at Lin Gui with a smile and asked, "What are you printing this time, Xiao Lin?"
"Sister, I want to print some flyers. I work at a pet snack shop nearby, and they want to promote it."
The proprietress printed out a stack of bills as Lin Gui requested and gave her the change without hesitation. However, she was still confused as to whether there was a pet shop among the newly opened stores nearby.
Lin Gui thanked the proprietress and walked into the community with the flyers, handing them out while walking around. Da Huang became excited the moment he entered the community. Lin Gui untied the rope for Da Huang, and Da Huang marked everywhere as if he had returned to his hometown, and ran away in a moment.
Lin Gui let it go. There was a security guard watching the gate of the community, so Dahuang couldn't go out. Almost no one in the community kept cats and dogs on a leash, and most of the stray cats and dogs had been adopted or sterilized.
I strolled around the community for half a day, handing out flyers to everyone I saw. Fortunately, there were few strangers in the community, and most of the people I met were familiar. Although we didn't know each other, we were all very polite and didn't throw away the flyers distributed by Lin Gui. I hope most people can pay attention to the store news.
As we walked, we came to the place with the highest traffic in the community, the community's sports field. The sports field includes a basketball court and a badminton area, with some public equipment next to it. Although the fitness equipment here is relatively old, there are still many grandparents who like to exercise and chat on it.
Sure enough, Grandma Xu was there in the crowded place. Although she was old, her eyesight was sharp. She saw Lin Gui coming from a distance and called out to her. Lin Gui came over as soon as she heard the call.
