Chen Chunhua ate two pieces of watermelon and followed Wang Xiulan downstairs, she was not in the store all afternoon, and now she must rush back, the peak of the evening meal is approaching.

"Sister-in-law, after Shuangzhu gets off work, we will go to your store for dinner! Do you have any soup prepared in your store today?" asked Wang Xiulan as she went downstairs.

"I bought two pigeons at the market in the morning, and they didn't stew at noon, so I'll let the kitchen stew them for you!" Chen Chunhua said.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!" Wang Xiulan thanked.

"Xiulan, what's polite to me!I'll go first!" Chen Chunhua went downstairs and rode her bicycle back.

Wang Xiulan came out of the stairwell and saw that there were not only many people queuing outside her store, but the line outside the store was longer.

His son Li Liang was at the cashier at the exit, still firing matches.

She looked inside, the shelves in her supermarket were basically sold out, and today's business was really beyond imagination!

"Son, go upstairs and rest, I'll come here!" Wang Xiulan walked behind the cash register and began to take her son's place, handing out matches to the people queuing up to receive matches.

It can be seen that after receiving matches, some people really went back to tell their relatives and friends about it. Far from decreasing, the queue has increased!

Li Liang glanced at the wall clock hanging behind the cash register, and the hour and minute hands worked together to point to the 5:50 position.

"Mom, it's six o'clock in ten minutes, so let's split into two groups and start faster!" Li Liang said.

The people queuing next to him heard what Li Liang said, and they all agreed: "This little comrade is right, my grandson is still waiting for me to go home and cook!"

"My son and daughter-in-law are also about to get off work!"

"It's almost six o'clock, it's time to go home and cook!"

"Yes, brother, hurry up, my parents are still waiting for me to go back for dinner!"

There was a good thing next to him teasing: "What are you doing with a match?"

"Why, you are allowed to take it, but I am not allowed to take it?" the eldest brother didn't say anything!"

Li Liang looked at the people in the long line, it was almost the same as he expected, and it was no different from the later generations, most of them were elderly uncles and aunts, there were few young people, but there were many half-grown children.

Li Liang went to the warehouse at the back and brought out a large box of matches, and set up another team outside the store. He and his mother Wang Xiulan started together, and the speed was much faster, and the line in two rows was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye. The people who had received the matches hurried home to eat.

After six o'clock, Li Liang saw that there were not many people in line, so he and his mother extended it for a few more minutes before finally handing out the matches.

The customers are gone, and the Li family's supermarket is empty.

Wang Xiulan happily inspected the shelves in the store, and basically the goods on today's shelves were sold out. Occasionally, there are a few left, and they are also some defective products. Some of the covers were off, some of the dishes had tears, and the two large vats containing bulk soy sauce and rice wine were also empty, and only the empty bottom of the jar could be seen.

"Son, isn't mom dreaming?" asked Wang Xiulan in disbelief.

"Mom, you're not dreaming. Li Liang secretly smiled, "We succeeded, our store is on fire! Mom, you have to hurry up and recruit people, we haven't even eaten lunch today." ”

"I really can't believe it!" Wang Xiulan was surprised.

In her usual impression, she really doesn't think that the current people have much purchasing power. That's why she tacitly acquiesced to her son's threshold for the lottery to be able to participate if he made a purchase of more than two yuan.

Because according to the purchase price of the goods they take from several state-owned units, as well as the analysis of pricing, the gross profit of supermarkets is about 15% overall. A customer can participate in the lottery by buying a product for two yuan, and they will earn about 0.4 yuan. And to send a bicycle a day, their supermarket itself does not sell bicycles, because bicycles are also in demand in department stores, and ordinary people need to have bicycle coupons to be able to buy. Because of their partnership with department stores, a car costs 160 yuan to buy at the cost price of the department store, which is equivalent to selling almost 1,100 yuan of goods to earn money for a bicycle.

According to Wang Xiulan's assumption, her son Li Liang insisted on giving a total of nine bicycles and a color TV at the beginning of the opening, and I don't know how long it will take for the supermarket to earn back the cost of these prizes.

"Son, let's move the box of money upstairs and see how much money we have earned today, I wonder if we have earned back the capital of a bicycle? Oh, by the way, there are two big boxes of matches!" Wang Xiulan came back to her senses and said to Li Liang.

"Okay, let's go upstairs and see how much money I've made today, even if I eat well, I'm starving to death!" Li Liang complained happily.

"Okay! I just told your Aunt Chunhua, tonight, let's go to her shop for dinner. Your aunt stewed gastrodia pigeon soup for us to drink at night, you have to drink more at night, it's very replenished!" Wang Xiulan said with a smile.

The cash box that comes with the cash register is full of money as early as the morning, although the largest face value is only ten yuan of great unity, followed by one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, and of course, the most are all kinds of gross bills and cents. It's not easy to sort out the money.

"What are you two doing here, why are our supermarkets empty? What the hell is going on?"

Suddenly, Li Shuangzhu's voice came from the door.

He looked at his empty supermarket in amazement, and he couldn't believe it.

This is all the goods that he, his son, and his wife have worked hard to get a little bit good, why haven't they seen it for a day, and all the things on the shelves are gone!

Wang Xiulan and her son Li Liang listened to Li Shuangzhu's questioning, and they all looked at him eating and laughing.

"What, is it all sold?" Li Shuangzhu saw his wife and children looking at him and smiled, and the second monk asked puzzledly, "Didn't our supermarket say that it would open on the 28th?"

"Today, my son asked ten friends and classmates to help distribute the leaflets, and after the leaflets were sent out, people came to ask one after another. As soon as the two of us put it together, we simply started the trial operation today, and the result ~~"

"The result?"

"It turned out to be like what you saw, his father, you didn't expect it, all of them were sold out!" Wang Xiulan looked at her husband excitedly.

"Really, am I not dreaming?"

"Well, it's not a dream, it's true!" Wang Xiulan nodded solemnly.

"Dad, it's all true, come and help me move this box upstairs!" Li Liang took out two boxes from under the cash register, one large and one small, the small one is the cash box that comes with the cash register, it is made of wood, and it is already full of money.

The big box is a cardboard box, this is Wang Xiulan in the small box filled with money, temporarily found an ordinary box to hold money, this box is half a meter square, and now it also contains most of the various banknotes and cents.

"Wow, is this all the money from today's sales? That's a lot!" Li Shuangzhu moved the small box in surprise, the small box was made of fine camphor wood, and although the money in it was less, it was heavier.

Li Liang carried a large box of money and went upstairs with his father one after another.

After Wang Xiulan locked the door of the supermarket, she also followed the father and son upstairs.

Upstairs, Wang Chao and Chenchen were sitting on the sofa of the Li family, looking at the two boxes of money brought up by Li Shuangzhu and Li Liang's father and son, Wang Chao and Chenchen were both stunned.

"Wow, so much money! Liangzi, your family has made a fortune!" Wang Chao was surprised.

Chen Chen happily congratulated: "Uncle and aunt, congratulations on making a lot of money!"

"Mom, go find some rubber bands!" Li Liang said, "Later, we will tie them up one by one with rubber bands according to the categories, and after the number is finished!"

"Okay!" As she spoke, Wang Xiulan went downstairs to the warehouse to find rubber bands, which are also one of the commodities sold in supermarkets, and you can buy ten for a penny.

"Chenchen, Chaozi, come and help me count the money!" Li Liangenvoy summoned Chenchen and Wang Chao.

"Okay! My favorite thing to do is to count money!" Wang Chao said excitedly, although this money is not his own, but counting is also very enjoyable, isn't it?

Li Liang burst out of a famous quote in later generations. "Sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp!"

So while counting the money, he asked Wang Chao with a smile: "Chaozi, what is your ideal?"

"Of course, my dream is to be a majestic policeman!" Wang Chao was a little surprised, why did Li Liang suddenly ask like this. He has been admitted to the Provincial Police Academy in this year's high school entrance examination, and the school will start at the end of this month, and he will leave for Ganchang in a few days.

"Chenchen, what about you?" Li Liang continued to ask.

"I, I want to be a teacher!" said Chenchen wistfully.

However, Chenchen did not become a teacher in his last life, Chenchen studied in the post and telecommunications vocational secondary school in his last life, and after graduation, he went directly to the post office.

"Do you know what my ideal is?" asked Li Liang.

"What is it?" Chen Chen and Wang Chao really hadn't heard Li Liang talk about his ideals.

Li Shuangzhu was silently counting the money on the side, and suddenly heard his son speak like this, and looked at his son curiously.

"Of course, it's sleeping until you wake up naturally, counting the money until your hands cramp!" Li Liang said here, deliberately aggravating the sound of counting the money in his hand.

"What are you counting money to hand cramps, son, do you have cramps?" At this time, Wang Xiulan walked into the living room with a bundle of rubber bands from downstairs, and just heard Li Liang's last words, and asked with concern.

"Haha!"

"Huh!"

Everyone couldn't help but be amused by Li Liang and Wang Xiulan!

Chenchen deliberately teased Li Liang and said: "Liangzi, then let's just sit and blow the fan and watch TV and eat watermelon! Your watermelon is so sweet!"

"Yes, Liangzi, you can count slowly, and call me when your hand cramps later!" Wang Chao also said with a smile, making a gesture to watch TV.

"Oops, I was wrong!" Li Liang begged for mercy.

Just kidding, if you really let him count so much money alone, his hands might really cramp.

Li Liang's family of three, plus Chenchen and Chaozi, Rao is five people, and it took more than half an hour to clear the number of so many banknotes and cents.

All banknotes are tied with rubber bands according to the classification of ten, five, one, one, five, two, and one cent.

As for the coins, they are wrapped in paper according to the categories of one cent, two cents, five cents, one dime, two jiao, five jiao, and one yuan.

With so much money, there are relatively few large banknotes such as five yuan and ten yuan, and the most are small banknotes such as one yuan and five jiao, cents, coins, etc.

"Mom, let's do the math, you can keep a record, you'd better keep a record of the daily accounts in the future!" Li Liang said.

"Well, I know!" Wang Xiulan said.

"Ten pieces, a total of 1,400 pieces!"

"Five, a total of 2,200!"

"One yuan, a total of ~~~"

"Of the two corners, a total of ~~~"

After they clearly distinguished the number of coins in each item, they finally summed it up, and the number they got once again calmed several people, and finally the total number reached as much as 5,000 yuan. According to the Li family's previous gross valuation of the sales price and purchase price of the goods in the store, the gross profit is about 15-20%. According to such gross profits, wouldn't the profits of today be about 700-1,000 yuan a day? The combined salaries of the parents are less than 1,000 yuan a year!

Li Liang and his parents glanced at each other, and they were a little speechless in surprise.

Wang Chao said bluntly and enviously: "Ah, I earn more than 5,000 yuan a day, my father's salary is only forty yuan a month, I calculate, wow, it's almost my father's salary for ten years!"

Li Liang smiled: "Chaozi, you can't count it like that." These are just sales money, and the purchase also requires money, and there is not much profit. And we also sent out more than 2,000 raffle tickets today, and we want to give away a bicycle. A bicycle costs more than 200!"

"Yes!" Wang Chao touched his head, yes, he hasn't counted the purchase price yet.

Li Liang is very happy that the reason why today's trial opening has worked so well is that he hired ten classmates and friends to distribute flyers on the streets, and the gimmick of giving away bicycles by lottery for 2 yuan attracted so many people. It is difficult to achieve such sales every day in the future, after all, people nowadays are not wealthy, and their spending power is not very strong.

But even so, it also achieved Li Liang's purpose of promoting his own supermarket. Today's profit is almost enough for a raffle of four or five bikes.

Li Liang was thinking about beauty, and suddenly his stomach rumbled, as if protesting that Li Liang had forgotten it.

"Let's go, let's eat! Chenchen and Chaozi, let's go to Wangke to eat together!"

"No, I'd better go home and eat!" Chenchen excused.

"Chenchen, I have already told your mother just now!" Wang Xiulan said.

"Oh, okay!" Chenchen agreed.

Li Liang stared at Wang Chao.

"Liangzi, what do you think I'm doing? I won't be polite to you, I want to eat spicy crayfish!" Wang Chao said unceremoniously.

"Okay, you have the final say, it's okay to eat whatever you want!"

Wang Xiulan carefully put the money in the box under the mattress in the bedroom, and then checked the rope tied to the sunspot in the stairwell, took some food for the sunspot, and appeased the sunspot to watch the door at home. After locking the door of the stairwell, he cautiously set off for Wangke to have dinner.

Li Liang looked at it and laughed secretly: "Mom, are you a little nervous?"

"Son, my mother won't dare to go out in the future!" Wang Xiulan said in a low voice.

"Mom, let's just go buy a safe!" Li Liang saw his mother's cautious appearance and proposed.

"Safe, is there a department store?" Li Liang's proposal made Wang Xiulan's eyes light up.

"There should be, even if not, we can ask Manager Xiao to help us purchase one!" Li Liang said.

Li Liang said that Manager Xiao is the manager of the department store Xiao Keyun, when Li Liang asked Deputy County Magistrate Zeng for help a while ago, Xiao Keyun appeared at the dinner when Wangke came.
