I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. Today I prepared a whole thousand pounds! It's not even 7:30 yet and there are only a little over a hundred pounds left. It feels like the customers still queuing outside can easily digest this hundred pounds. It seems like tomorrow's first prize challenge is a sure thing!
When Zhang Dezhen saw Xu An come in, he handed over the cash register he was in charge of to the new part-time college student, and walked happily to Xu An's side to report on the sales of Xu's Braised Food Shop that day.
"Today, the store received a total of 1,000 jin of braised food, and so far we have sold 837 jin, with a total turnover of 15,903 yuan!" Zhang Dezhen said excitedly. "The main reason is that as soon as we opened today, two big customers came in. Both of them ordered 50 jin at once, and one of them bought another 80 jin later, which took away 180 jin in total."
"One person bought 130 jin (65 kg) of it. Was it Liu Zhaowen who bought it?" Upon hearing such a large quantity, Xu An instinctively felt that the person was Liu Zhaowen.
“No.” Zhang Dezhen shook his head, turned around and peeked out of the shop. He seemed to make eye contact with someone, greeted the person, and then pointed at that person and said to Xu An, “This is the person who bought it. He didn’t buy it for himself. He’s giving it to his fans or something. Anyway, I’ve seen a lot of people show him their phone screens and get a free bag of braised food.”
Free? Could it be that this person and Liu Zhaowen had the same idea?
Xu An looked in the direction Zhang Dezhen was pointing, and after just one glance, he recognized the young man. Tang Wen had seen this man's photo on the list when she was drafting the invitation list for the opening event. His name seemed to be Yu Liang, and he ran a social media account called "Big Eyes" with over ten thousand followers.
Tang Wen's invitation was only for yesterday, so why is this person here today? Did she try to ride the wave of popularity from Xu's Braised Food store's opening event?
I took out my phone, opened the Dayan account, entered Yu Liang's account name, pressed the search button, and after jumping to the user section, the first thing I saw was Yu Liang's account name, with the number of followers displayed below the account name as 26,000.
Wow! Just two days ago, I had a little over 10,000 followers, and in less than two days, it's jumped to 26,000! Even the account of Xu's Catering, the event organizer, didn't grow that many followers!
Clicking into Yu Liang's account, the latest post was published at 7 PM tonight. The post was a sales report for Xu's Braised Food Shop today.
"It's 7:00 AM, and Xu's Braised Food Shop has sold 800 jin (400 kg) today! Three hours left until closing time! We're still 200 jin short of the 1000 jin (500 kg) requirement for the first prize revival!"
His fingertips swiped rapidly across the screen, and more than a dozen updates flashed before Xu An's eyes.
At six o'clock, Xu's braised food shop had sold 680 jin (approximately 340 kg) of food that day.
'Sales reached 507 jin at 5 o'clock.'
'392 jin at four o'clock'
'.'
Even the hourly time announcements aren't as accurate as Yu Liang's posts! What's even more outrageous is that these dozen or so posts he made today averaged over 800 reposts, over 1200 likes, and over 100 comments each.
Are netizens these days so bored that they can actually watch this like a TV series?
Before logging out of his account, Xu An couldn't resist liking the post he made at 7:00.
It's great. Free publicity. He gained traffic and popularity, and she gained traffic, popularity, and a little money. Everyone got what they wanted. It's a win-win situation. No loss for her.
