Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill-Chapter 59 - Opening

Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Opening

Chapter 59 -59 Opening

In the blink of an eye, the first Su’s braised food in Provincial City officially opened for business.

With the noise from the initial renovations and the word-of-mouth from the nearby residents, many people knew that a “Su’s braised food” was opening nearby.

Susu had occasionally sold here before, and many regular customers had been eagerly awaiting the opening.

As firecrackers crackled and popped, the new store officially opened.

Numerous curious adults and children gathered around, the children happily chasing and playing while the adults chatted and laughed.

“I heard that for the first three days of opening, you get a discount on everything you buy in the store.”

“What do you mean, you mean everything is sold at a discount?”

“That’s right, my daughter has been fussing to eat here, but Xiao Su hasn’t been around for a while.

I didn’t expect them to open a shop.”

An older sister stretched her neck and said.

The two talking looked curious, “Have you eaten here? How is it? Tasty?”

“It’s very tasty; I specifically came to buy some, not just for our kids, but us adults love it too.”

…

“Lady boss, I heard that you can get a discount if you buy something in the store during the first three days? Is that true?”

“Yes, yes, is it true?”

Susu, smiling, pointed to the poster on the door and raised her voice to say.

“Indeed, it’s true, everyone, as you can see, our store is having a three-day event.”

“Anyone who shops here will enjoy a 20% discount.

For every five yuan spent, the store will also give away half a pound of braised vegetables. Everyone is welcome to come and see.”

Wang Hong stood anxiously behind the counter, with Lu Xiaomei, who was on vacation and came to help, both fully prepared for the crowd.

An older lady with a vegetable basket asked, “What do you mean by 20% off? How much money is that?”

“What are you talking about with these discounts, I didn’t quite catch that?”

…

Listening to everyone’s comments, Susu still smiled, waving her hand for silence.

She slowly started, “During the first three days of opening, everything is 20% off.

That means the normally eighty-cent vegetables are now sixty-four cents per pound. The meat dishes usually at one and a half yuan are now one yuan twenty per pound during these three days, directly saving thirty cents.

Moreover, everyone, who are familiar customers, can group together, and if several people together spend over five yuan after the discount, they’ll get an extra half pound of vegetables.

Everyone can go home and share.”

“Oh, that’s nice.”

The aunties whispered among themselves, beginning to ask how much each was planning to buy.

In groups of two or three, they decided to buy together to get the extra half pound of vegetables.

“All set, elder sisters, please line up over here, and make sure not to crowd.”

Seeing the crowd gathering at the door, Susu hurriedly pulled Xiao Yu behind the counter.

In no time, the crowd formed two long lines.

Wang Hong and Lu Xiaomei were responsible for weighing and packaging, while Susu handled the money and provided change.

The little guy helped out, running errands wherever needed.

“Elder sister-in-law, are you tired? If you’re tired, take a break. Sister Hong and I are here.”

Lu Xiaomei kept busy but worriedly reminded her sister-in-law.

On hearing this, Wang Hong nodded, “Yes, Xiao Su, don’t overdo it. If you’re tired, just sit down.”

Susu shook her head, “I’m fine, I don’t feel tired yet. I’ll keep handling the money; it’s faster that way.”

“Okay, if you get tired, just rest, and don’t push yourself too hard, you hear?”

Susu, amused, nodded, then realized the two were busy and couldn’t see her.

“Alright, I know, I definitely won’t overdo it.”

As people heard the commotion and saw the long line forming at the entrance, they approached curiously.

“Auntie, what are you doing here?”

The elder lady, holding Xiao Sun’s hand, replied, “Buying braised food. They just opened and are having a promotion.”

“Is it tasty?”

“It’s delicious, why wouldn’t it be? And it’s cheaper than usual because of the promotion.”

“Really? Then I’ll buy some to try.”

…

Many people who came out of curiosity ended up taking some home after hearing what the others said.

After seeing off the last elder lady, Susu glanced at the time—it was already past 11 AM.

A few of them had been so busy all morning they hadn’t even had time to drink water. Now, they guzzled down a large cup of water and then plopped down to sit.

“Oh my goodness, there were so many people.”

Wang Hong patted her thighs, feeling as if her legs had gone numb from standing.

Lu Xiaomei’s face was flushed from the busyness. “It feels like my arms and legs aren’t my own anymore. No wonder, the folks from Provincial City don’t blink an eye when spending money.”

“You both worked hard. I expect the next three days will be busy too, so I’ll add a little extra to your pay.”

Susu massaged her waist, leaning back from the exhaustion and feeling sore all over.

Luckily the baby was still small, otherwise it would have been too much.

Wang Hong felt somewhat embarrassed; after all, working was expected, and here she was getting an extra subsidy. She was about to speak when she heard Lu Xiaomei’s crisp voice.

“Hehe, thank you, elder sister.”

…

Lu Xiaoting came in, carrying groceries in two nets on his bicycle.

“Let’s eat, I went to the state-owned restaurant to buy us food.”

She hadn’t realized how hungry she was until the aroma of the food hit her, and Susu’s stomach growled.

Uh… A bit embarrassing!

“Eat up. I don’t have to go this afternoon, I’ll stay here to help.”

Lu Xiaoting handed chopsticks to his wife.

Susu thought about how she was still pregnant and should not overexert herself, so she put aside any concerns about whether it seemed manly or not.

After all, she had to stay for the afternoon.

Looking at the almost empty display of braised food, Lu Xiaoting didn’t idle even after eating, and went back to fetch more stock.

Susu took Xiao Yu to the back yard to rest and take a nap.

Wang Hong and Lu Xiaomei were in the front, keeping an eye on things in case someone came into the shop.

In the afternoon, Susu woke up startled to find she had slept until almost 4 PM.

“Why didn’t you wake me?”

Lu Xiaoting, busy making change for a customer, smiled at his wife’s indignant look.

“I wanted you to get some extra sleep; we were handling things fine.”

Susu noticed an elder lady’s gaze while she was buying items and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

“Could I get a pound of meat dishes and a pound of vegetarian dishes?”

One elder man said without even looking up, ready to pull out his money.

Wang Hong stiffened and quickly said, “Sorry, sir, but we’ve sold out. Maybe come by tomorrow?”

“Sold out? Already?”

The elder man, slightly discontent, took back his lunch box. “Alright, I’ll have to come tomorrow then.”

…

For three days, the grand opening promotion made the braised food business boom.

And with it, the whole street became busier.

Afterwards, the flow of customers decreased significantly, and Wang Hong initially found it hard to adapt to the sudden quiet.

The daily turnover stabilized at forty to fifty yuan.

Susu felt reassured enough to leave things in Sister Hong’s hands, making occasional visits to the shop.
