Chapter 1941: Master Yang Arrives

  Qi Lie walked out with his hands behind his back, in a dignified manner.

  Meng Yunzheng followed a step behind, turned his head slightly, winked at Shu Yu, and then followed.

  In the next moment, the crowd inside the shop exploded with a roar.

  "I'll buy it! Give me a jar of sunflower oil, no, two jars!"

  "I want one too, I want one!"

  "I was here first, quickly pack it up for me, three jars, I want three jars."

  "And me, don't sell out, save some for me."

  The people rushed to the oil-selling counter. Shu Yu had anticipated this when she saw Qi Lie speak, and immediately signaled to Da Niu. Having witnessed the bustling scene during the opening of Dong'an Prefecture's store, Da Niu quickly realized what was happening. He grabbed Meng Qi, who had come to help, and took the lead to stand in front of the sunflower oil.

  Indeed, the moment Qi Lie left the shop, everyone started pushing forward. Da Niu promptly maintained order, "One by one, we have plenty of stock in the storeroom. Everyone, please don't rush. There's enough for everyone."

  Qi Lie's assurance was like a shot of adrenaline to everyone's hearts. Those who had doubted the sunflower oil were now convinced, and without a second thought, they took out their money and bought it.

  This was something supplied to the palace, and even Lord Qi praised it. It wasn't available in other places. Even if they couldn't finish it themselves, giving it as a gift would earn them a lot of face.

  Some wealthy households who had initially been waiting for the crowd to thin out before entering couldn't wait anymore. They realized that if they waited any longer, the customers wouldn't decrease, but the goods might run out.

  Therefore, they sent their servants and maids inside, making them buy frantically.

  However, the price of sunflower oil was a bit high. For the commoners without a strong financial background, even if they were eager to buy, they could only watch with envy. But sunflower seeds were affordable, and instant noodles were a staple food, very practical.

  In a short time, the entire shop was jam-packed with people.

  Ying Xi and Meng Han were maintaining order, shouting so much that their voices became hoarse. They were also answering questions from various customers.

  Shu Yu had returned behind the counter to handle the money and calculate the bills. She was fast in her calculations, not much different from Meng Yunzheng. With so many customers, she was the only one capable of doing this.

  But after half a day, handling money and giving change had left her hands sore.

  This frenzy continued until nearly noon before finally subsiding. Shopkeepers from nearby stores who had been monitoring the situation all breathed a sigh of relief.

  Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated? Was this customer flow normal? Did all the city's residents come here?

  During the lull, Shu Yu arranged for her people to take turns eating. There wouldn't be any rest during lunchtime; the customers hadn't stopped coming.

  The goods that were originally displayed in the store had already been depleted considerably. Shu Yu had Da Niu and his team bring out more from the storeroom to refill the display.

  But as soon as they replenished the goods, a group of people arrived and crowded around.

  "County Princess, we've come to offer our congratulations."

  Shu Yu took a closer look and saw Master Yang and Second Young Master He. How did they all come? She didn't recognize Master Yang and his companions. It was only after she nodded that Jiang Fengshou accepted their gifts.

  Shu Yu smiled, "Master Yang, why have you come?"

  "County Princess's grand opening is a big occasion. How can we not come?" As they spoke, everyone turned to look at the shop.

  Hmm... there are indeed quite a few customers. But it seems like not many are buying; the shop's inventory hasn't been significantly reduced.
