The entire alley was filled with a fragrance that lingered on people's clothes for a long time.
Many people followed the smell and went there to buy some skewers, as well as drinks and daily necessities.
Most importantly, they have monthly membership activities, such as giving away eggs for spending a certain amount, and offering discounts and points redemption for loyal customers.
In comparison, people felt that Ke's General Store was a bit expensive.
The Ke family didn't rely on the income from the grocery store, but the old lady was very competitive. She was outdone by Ke Enshu and her family, which made her so angry that she snorted and ate half a bowl less of rice.
