Chapter 1947: Selling One Eighth


When Lu Ji's store opened its doors the next day, the customers continued to come in an unending stream.

Although it couldn't match the grandeur of the opening day, it was still much livelier compared to the other shops around.

This was the effect of the city-wide advertisements. People had heard of the name "Lu Ji's store" through word of mouth, making them feel that it was a reputable and reliable store.

However, many customers still hoped for discounts today. But Jiang Fengshou and the others stood firm in their stance, despite wearing cheerful smiles on their faces, "We offered so many discounts yesterday for the grand opening. We really didn't make much profit after a whole day. If we continue offering discounts today, I'm afraid our Mistress will have to break my legs."

A customer across the counter chuckled, "Your Mistress is a county Princess. Is she really that ruthless?"

"Our Mistress isn't that ruthless, but I don't want to disappoint her or let her down. However, madam, while we don't have discounts today, in the future, we'll have various activities to reward both new and old customers during holidays and special occasions. If you come back then, I promise to offer you the best discounts. How about that?"

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true. Madam, why don't you buy a little today? If you find it good, you can buy more next time during the event. How does that sound?"

In the end, under Jiang Fengshou's persuasion, the customer bought some items to take home.

When Shu Yu arrived, she heard the phrase "Mistress will have to break my legs" from Jiang Fengshou.

She looked at Jiang Fengshou, appearing to smile but not really, and he felt a scorching gaze on him. Turning around, he suddenly shivered and greeted her with a hearty laugh.

Shu Yu entered the store and didn't dwell on the previous matter. She just asked, "How's business today?"

"It's good. Although it's not as hot as yesterday, customers have been coming steadily."

"That's good." Shu Yu took a look around and saw them busy, so she took the account book and went to the storeroom in the backyard to check the inventory.

Despite the long queue of items brought by Da Niu that day, everything sold out to the extent that only one eighth remained after just one day.

Shu Yu clicked her tongue in amazement. It seemed like she needed to arrange for another batch of supplies to be delivered as soon as possible, or they would run out of stock. If they were to hold another event, they wouldn't be able to cope.

However, things should stabilize after this. Especially since some people made substantial purchases. If they were buying for personal consumption and not for gifts, they would still be able to maintain their stock for a while.

After finishing the accounts, Shu Yu realized it was already noon.

The store wasn't crowded with customers at the moment; everyone had gone to have lunch.

Wang Yue happened to come over to bring lunch for Zhou Tiedong. Seeing Shu Yu, she seemed a bit embarrassed, "Madam."

Shu Yu nodded, "You can have your lunch in the backyard. There aren't many customers now, so take your time."

"Thank you, madam."

Wang Yue went to the backyard with Zhou Tiedong. As Shu Yu walked towards the counter, she noticed Jiang Fengshou was laughing happily over there.

The corner of Shu Yu's mouth twitched, and she looked at him skeptically, "You seem unusually happy today?"

Jiang Fengshou suddenly looked up, noticing Shu Yu's gentle expression. He chuckled twice, "Of course I'm happy. Speaking of which, I need to thank our Mistress."
