Chapter 803: Grand Opening
"It's so hot, don't you know it's time to go home?"
Fu Jingyou picked up his son and carried him on his shoulders.
"What should we do then?"
Lu Miao said to him coquettishly:
"Your son is full of energy and he refuses to come home. What can I do?"
Fu Jingyou didn't say anything to her, but patted his son on the butt:
"Bad seed."
The 'little rascal' giggled, thinking his father was playing a game with him.
The saliva marks were left on Daddy's face, and Little Baichuan muttered:
"Daddy, handsome..."
Fu Jingyou had no idea that Xiao Baichuan was talking about chess, and thought his son was praising him, so he gave his son a few kisses on the face.
He walked slowly home holding his son in one hand and his wife in the other.
Lu Miao covered his lips and chuckled, seeing through it but not saying it out loud.
But I thought to myself: Fortunately, I didn’t say “car”, otherwise my little butt would have been hit hard twice.
"Is the meal ready?"
"Almost done."
"That's perfect. Before dinner, you can go out with me to buy something."
"Um?"
"It's opening on Sunday, and I haven't even bought the firecrackers or fireworks yet!"
At this time, fireworks and firecrackers are a must-have for occasions such as business openings and happy events.
Lu Miao didn't intend to skip this step.
She shook the hand that was held by her, along with Fu Jingyou's hand, and said coquettishly:
"I'm just waiting for you to come back. I definitely can't carry it myself."
"OK."
What’s the big deal?
Fu Jingyou agreed immediately.
After returning home and handing the child over to the elders, Fu Jingyou did not drive, but took Lu Miao out on his bicycle.
The fireworks technology at that time was far inferior to that of later generations.
Considering safety issues and the situation on that day, Lu Miao picked and chose and bought a few ground-spraying type of scattered flowers.
She didn't know anything about firecrackers, so she left the selection to Fu Jingyou.
But in addition to firecrackers, Fu Jingyou also bought a few sheets of red paper.
When he got home, he cut the red paper into thin strips of about 20 centimeters on the big table.
He took the brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote a few words such as "Good luck in opening your business" and "Great success in opening your business".
Seeing the situation, Lu Miao started giving instructions from the side:
"Write a few more, and include some promotions!"
"What to write?"
"Hmm...just write 20% off storewide, buy three get one free!"
Lu Miao always says that wind is rain, and even the opening time is decided on the spot.
Tang Mei always thought she was just making a fuss.
It was at this time that the young couple put their heads together and discussed with each other, and finally they started to act like a business person.
Everything is ready and I will take it over and set it up on Saturday afternoon.
The next day, Sunday, in front of "A Rose".
Fu Jingyou lit the firecrackers and fireworks.
Lu Miao took advantage of the situation and pushed open the red silk on the light box sign.
There was a constant stream of people gathered at the door, and the scene was very lively.
The opening date seemed to be set arbitrarily, but Lu Miao actually had a plan in mind.
State-owned factories all have Sunday as their only day off.
This is the only day in a week when the major commercial streets are packed with people.
Lu Miao had made a statement in advance.
Coupled with the "crackling" sound of firecrackers and fireworks, people are curious about what is going on and why there is such a commotion?
One by one, they all gathered here.
Some older people or gay men came into the store, saw that all the items sold were for girls, and then left.
But once the girls were inside, it was difficult for them to move.
The decoration style is novel and upscale.
The hair ties sold are more exquisite and beautiful than each other.
Girls never knew that a hair tie could be made into so many different things!
The cheapest style in the store costs 20 cents.
The expensive big ones are 80 cents each and 1.5 yuan in a pair.
There are other prices in between.
Overall, it’s not cheap, but it’s still very attractive.
Women understand women best. Every step Lu Miao takes in his arrangements and adjustments hits the girls' hearts precisely.
The scene was noisy, and soon someone raised his voice and asked:
"Where's the salesperson? Where's the salesperson? Are all items 20% off? This one's 20 cents, is it also 20% off, buy three get one free?"
Lin Xian took some time off and stepped forward to explain:
"Yes, today is the opening event, all styles are included!"
Lin Xian combed her hair neatly, and used the technique taught by Lu Miao to tie the ends of her hair into a lively bow with a blue hairband.
She was wearing a blue and white checkered dress that was similar in color to her headband.
Girls in the north are not considered short.
With a little dressing up, she becomes graceful and pretty.
Maybe he has sorted himself out a bit and his mentality is different from before.
Lin Xian spoke clearly and looked graceful and elegant.
There is no trace of the timidity of recent days.
Lu Miao watched silently and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I want this, give me three!"
"Why!"
Someone next to him asked, "If we buy three together, can we get one free?"
Lin Xian quickly replied, "Sure, pay here and you can take it back and divide it among yourselves."
"Okay, I want one too. I want this woolen yarn!"
A single hairband is expensive, but if you buy more, you can get one for free.
And it’s discounted, so it’s quite a good deal.
Although it is still a bit higher than the price in department stores.
But the variety and styles are really incomparable to those in department stores.
"I want one too! What's that thing in your hair? It looks pretty. How much is it?"
"This is a headband. It's in the long cabinet over there. There are several colors and styles. You can take a look first."
"Your prices here are much higher than those in the department store. Can you make them cheaper?"
"Comrade, you should be able to see the difference if you go around the department store. We have regular discounts here, but we don't bargain."
There were many people buying things on the spot, and Lin Xian was a little busy.
But for some common situations, Lu Miao had summarized the lines of speech for her in advance, so she was still able to handle them.
Lu Miao watched from the side for a while, then pushed Fu Jingyou and said:
"You go back first. There are a lot of people here today. I'll stay and help."
Fu Jingyou glanced at the scene and wanted to say that he would stay and help.
But since all the people here are lesbians, it would be awkward for him to stay, so he changed his words:
"Then I'll pick you up at noon?"
"No need~ I don't know how long he'll be busy! I can just take the bus back later."
"What about dinner?"
"Oh no! There are so many places to eat around here, how can I go hungry? Hurry up and leave! Can't you see that Lin Xian is so busy that she can't think straight!"
Lu Miao pushed Fu Jingyou to the side of the street, smiling brightly with his lips curved.
She waved playfully at him, turned around and trotted into the store.
The streets are bustling with people.
Fu Jingyou took out a cigarette box from his pocket and lit one skillfully.
When working in a factory, you can't avoid being handed cigarettes by others sometimes, and occasionally when socializing and dealing with people, you may also need to pass cigarettes to others.
Fu Jingyou often carries cigarettes with him, but he doesn't actually smoke much.
He stood on the street, his eyes always fixed on the busy figures in the store.
He finished smoking and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can on the side, then he bent down and got into the car and drove home.
