154. The store opened
Lin Zichen chatted with Aunt Li without saying a word, and after a while, he got all the information from Aunt Li.
Aunt Li's full name is Li Xin, and after marrying her sick husband, her husband went within a few months, so her mother-in-law said that she killed her husband and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce and has been living here.
Because she has no regular job, Li Xin can only get some manual work from some small jewelry factories nearby, and she can barely be self-sufficient.
Lin Zichen looked at Li Xin, who was talking with a good face and a smile on the other side, and decided in his heart that he wanted to hand over his shop to Li Xin to take care of.
"Aunt Li, you also saw my shelves here, I was planning to open a grocery store, but I haven't found anyone to help, if Aunt Li doesn't mind, I don't know if you're willing to help me?"
Li Xin had already noticed the shelves on the first floor, and when she heard Lin Zichen say that she was going to open a store, she was already so surprised that she couldn't speak.
"Aunt Li, are you worried about wages? You can rest assured that the salary will be given to you according to the money of the ordinary workers in the county. Lin Zichen eagerly persuaded.
Li Xin waved his hand, came back to his senses and said, "Zichen, you misunderstood me, I was just surprised that you could open a shop as a little girl, but on the other hand, I was too impatient." β
Lin Zichen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Aunt Li said that she laughed, I just read more books before I wanted to open a shop, whether it can be done depends on whether Aunt Li is willing to help me!" β
Li Xin looked at the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, as well as the carefully transcribed names and prices of the goods, Li Xin's heart moved, "Okay, if you think I can't do it, you can fire me." β
Lin Zichen gave Li Xin a reassuring look: "This job is very simple, just sit at the table in front of the door to collect money, supervise whether there are more people who have taken the goods in their hands, and Aunt Li can continue to do some manual work when she is free." β
When Li Xin heard this, her eyes lit up. "Thank you, Zichen."
Lin Zichen waved his hand: "Aunt Li doesn't have to be polite, it's rare that Aunt Li is also surnamed Li, if you don't mind, I'll call you Aunt Li, it's more kind." Anyway, I also told my classmates that I moved to live with relatives, and my classmates came to ask in the future, and I hoped that Aunt Li could help fulfill this lie. β
Li Xin didn't know where Lin Zichen got so much money to buy this house. I don't know why I lied to my classmates. But since he chose to help Lin Zichen look at the shop, Li Xin didn't ask too much, and nodded in response: "Okay." Then I'll be cheeky and be your aunt. β
Lin Zichen smiled happily: "Well, then I will bother Aunt Li from now on, because I told my classmates that this is a shop opened by my aunt, and whenever my classmates come to buy things, I will ask." Aunt Li said that this is your shop, and I don't want my classmates to know that this is my shop pΓΉ and then alienate me. β
"Okay. Say whatever you want. Li Xin happily accepted Lin Zichen's request.
After writing the last word on the board, Lin Zichen stood up and stretched: "Okay, I'll write the agreement tomorrow, and after we sign and press the fingerprint, it will be officially tied together." β
Li Xin didn't expect Lin Zichen to be so thoughtful. The general shops in Pinghe County do not sign an agreement, Lin Zichen is officially inviting Li Xin by doing this, and from now on, she Li Xin can be regarded as a person with a job. Can this not make Li Xin happy?
Early Saturday morning, Lin Zichen and Li Xin got up early in the morning. Lin Zichen decided to open today, so he had to get up early to prepare.
Lin Zichen originally planned to open in obscurity, but Li Xin disagreed, saying that he would buy a string of firecrackers and set them off.
Although the people in the county town did not get up earlier than the people in the countryside, they all got up at eight or nine o'clock.
Li Xin looked at the clock on the wall and lit the firecracker at the door when the hour hand pointed to nine.
The crackling sound of firecrackers attracts people from the neighborhood to come and see what is good.
Lin Zichen told Li Xin about the preferential plan for the first day of opening last night, and saw that many people gradually came to the door of the store, so Li Xin loudly promoted: "Neighbors, today is the day of the opening of our 'Lejia' convenience store, and all customers who buy in the store today can enjoy a 10% discount." β
"10% off? What is 10% off? Someone asked curiously.
Li Xin patiently explained: "The nine-percent discount means that you can buy things for ten yuan for only nine yuan, and so on for other goods." β
"That's good, let's walk in and have a look."
As soon as everyone heard that there was such a benefit, they all crowded into the store.
Lin Zichen hurriedly maintained order: "Don't crowd everyone, the goods in the store are definitely enough, please don't fight." Everyone let each other and understand each other, so that life can be harmonious and free from disputes! β
When the group of women who were originally robbing heard Lin Zichen's words, they hurriedly stopped the robbery and smiled at the people around them in a friendly manner, and suddenly the whole store was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Everyone slowed down their movements only to realize that the placement of items was very humane.
Some women were just about to ask the price of the items they wanted to buy, and they saw small signs on the shelves with the names and prices of the goods written on them.
Everyone was stunned, and continued to choose the goods they needed, while calculating the price in their hearts, and felt that it was almost time to buy it.
Li Xin happily settled the bill for everyone at the front desk, and did not forget to give everyone a candy or two after settling the bill.
Candy is a candy for two dimes, Li Xin knew that when he mentioned yì, he also said that Lin Zichen was a loser, but Lin Zichen knew that this kind of small favor could bring more long-term business.
There was a discount on the first day of the opening of the Lejia convenience store, and the news of buying things and giving candy soon spread in the residential building nearby, and some people who didn't know about it heard about it and rushed to enjoy the discount on this day.
Li Xin kept checking out, and Lin Zichen went to the guest room on the first floor, no, it should be said that the warehouse kept replenishing the goods.
It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Zichen and Li Xin had time to catch their breath and settle their lunch.
Counting the money in the drawer, Li Xin said excitedly: "Xiao Chen, your method of giving discounts is really good, and you have earned the capital back in just half a day." β
Lin Zichen shook his head and said, "Aunt Li, your heart is too small, we not only have to earn back the capital, but also make a lot of money!" β
"Yes, yes, Xiao Chen, you're right. We're going to make a lot of money. Li Xin calmed down the excitement in his heart, folded the money and locked it in the drawer, and Li Xin carried the key with him.
"Aunt Li, you continue to look at the shop, I'll go out."
"Okay, leave the shop to me, I'll definitely look good." Li Xin assured.
Lin Zichen changed into a coat to go out. Walked to the rented house of Gu Mingxuan's two brothers.
"Knock knock. Knock knock. β
As soon as Lin Zichen knocked on the door, the door was opened, and Li Ji's angry expression was immediately in his eyes.
Lin Zichen was startled. Leaned sideways into the house: "Fourth brother, who messed with you?" He looked like he was going to kill someone. β
"Are you embarrassed to ask who messed with me?" Li Ji looked at Lin Zichen and roared.
Lin Zichen shrank and looked at Li Ji's appearance. I can't help but wonder if it's because of her?
But she didn't seem to do anything to make him angry, did she? Wrong! Lin Zichen was excited, and immediately sat upright. The elongated voice shouted: "Fourth brother! β
Li Ji stepped forward and pulled Lin Zichen's ear, and said angrily: "Now you know it's wrong?" Who gave you the guts to go to Source City alone? You're dying, aren't you? Do you know that Mingxuan and I have been worried about you for a week? It's good for you to sneak away to Source City, and spend the night alone in Source City. When I came back, I didn't know how to report our safety, did you want to scare the fourth brother to death? β
Li Ji didn't pay attention to the strength in his hand as he spoke, and Lin Zichen's ears hurt.
"Oops. Fourth brother, I was wrong, I was wrong. I don't dare anymore, you let go quickly, or I'm going to drop my ears. β
Gu Mingxuan, who was also worried on the side, saw Lin Zichen's red ears and pulled Li Ji's hand: "Ah Ji, you let go first, Xiao Chen's ears are red." β
Li Ji came back to his senses, hurriedly let go of his hand, and saw that Lin Zichen's red ears were angry and distressed, and finally turned around directly and didn't look at Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen couldn't care about the pain in his ears, and shouted weakly: "Fourth brother, I really know it's wrong." β
Lin Zichen knew that he had gone too far this time, but Li Ji didn't even give her a chance to explain, and when he came up, he was scolded, Lin Zichen was very aggrieved in his heart, and he couldn't help but shed tears when he thought about it.
Seeing this, Gu Mingxuan on the side suddenly became at a loss: "Xiao Chen, don't cry, is it that Li Ji hurt you, or I will help you beat him." β
When Li Ji heard the sound, he hurriedly turned around, and when he saw Lin Zichen's tears, his heart hurt even more, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check Lin Zichen's ears in a hurry, and coaxed softly: "Xiao Chen, don't cry, don't cry, it's not good for the fourth brother, the fourth brother shouldn't pull your ears, isn't it too painful, if it hurts too much, you will twist the fourth brother's ears." Don't cry, okay, if you cry again, the fourth brother won't know what to do. β
Who knew that Lin Zichen cried even more fiercely when he heard what Li Ji said, and beat Li Ji while crying: "It's all the fourth brother, didn't I come here today to explain to you?" It's good for you, as soon as you open the door, you will directly twist my ears, woo woo, I want to sue sΓΉ grandpa that you bullied me, woo woo! β
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't cry, it doesn't matter how you let Grandpa beat me and scold me."
"Really?"
"Really, really, really."
Gu Mingxuan, who was originally worried about Lin Zichen, heard this, and did not tell Li Ji very familiarly, Lin Zichen was digging a pit for him to jump, and sure enough, someone who was in love with Yan ZΓ²ng didn't notice it at all, and jumped in at once.
After receiving Li Ji's affirmative answer, Lin Zichen wiped away his tears with satisfaction: "Fourth brother is not allowed to speak without counting, but I remember, if you dare to bully me in the future, I will let Ah Gong beat you." β
"Okay, okay, don't say it's beating, even if I go to the ancestral hall to kneel, I'm willing." Ouch, as long as the little ancestor of his family can not cry, he will not complain about what he does.
Lin Zichen snorted and laughed, and suddenly felt that he had teased Li Ji like this.
Gu Mingxuan looked at a brother and sister who were willing to fight and suffer, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Lin Zichen noticed the helplessness in Gu Mingxuan's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. But after thinking about it, didn't you just cry in front of him? What's there to be shy about? Hum! So, Lin Zichen immediately straightened his waist and looked at Gu Mingxuan's gaze with a reasonable expression.
Gu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and laughed silently.
When Lin Zichen saw Gu Mingxuan's constantly shaking shoulders, he knew that he was smiling and enduring, and he immediately gritted his teeth in anger. (To be continued) R580
