Chapter 3 The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys

"Mom, I'm back."

Su Manjin shouted, trotted over, and hugged his mother's waist tightly.

When she fell off the cliff in her last life, she was still regretting how sad her mother would be if she received the news that she was gone. I didn't expect God to be willing to give myself a chance to live again.

Zeng Meiyue turned around and hugged her with a smile, "What's the matter, they're all big girls, and they love to be coquettish." With a sneer, he hugged his daughter back and straightened the little girl's hair.

Su Jinyang saw that his sister was hugging his mother, and he also ran over, "I want to hug me too." As he spoke, he hugged his mother's calf.

Zeng Meiyue bent down and touched her son's head, looked at her daughter and said, "You sisters and brothers go to the yard to play for a while, mother still has to sort out these goods." Don't run too far, when it gets dark your grandparents come back, it's time for dinner. ”

"Mom, I'll help you tidy it up. Xiaoyang is playing at the door. ”

Su Manjin looked at the familiar layout of the house in his memory, saying that it was a grocery store, but in fact, he was putting the goods at home.

The small bungalow sits in the north and faces south, and the east wing is the master bedroom, where Su Yuhui and Zeng Meiyue live with Su Jinyang.

The west wing room was originally Su Manjin's room, but because he ran a grocery store and needed a warehouse to stack items, Su Manjin temporarily lived in the old house next door, anyway, after Su Yuhui and his wife moved out, the room was empty.

The southwest room is the kitchen stove and dining room, but the husband and wife have just moved here for less than half a month, and the fire has not yet been fired, and the family is still eating together in the old house.

The main hall is not small, with an L-shaped old glass counter, and a high-rise old shelf inside the counter, and a beer crate at the foot of the shelf is raised with scattered goods.

These shelves of goods were all moved from Zeng Meiyue's mother's house. Her eldest brother runs a grocery store in Shuitou Village, which is in a good location and has a good business. Thinking that my sister was weak and couldn't do heavy work, I asked my sister to move some goods to sell first, which could be regarded as a livelihood. knew the situation of my brother-in-law's family, and took the initiative to say that it didn't matter if I owed the money first.

While helping his mother sort out the goods behind the glass counter, Su Manjin thought: In the countryside in ninety-eight years, big supermarkets have not yet risen, and the business of grocery stores with good street locations is good.

My mother's groceries were sold at home, and now they can only be sold to their neighbors. But in the last life, two or three years after my mother opened the shop, she also did the business of liquefied gas replacement, she was not afraid of hard work, timely delivery, good service attitude, very good at being a person in the village, many people were willing to take care of her business, and later the family took the landline, she even covered the gas delivery business to the surrounding six or seven villages.

Su Manjin often helped his mother settle accounts in his previous life, so he knew very well the income of the grocery store later, at least until he graduated from high school, the income of the small store was still good.

If it weren't for his father's visit to the old village a few years later to open a shop to contact those people and start gambling, he would not have come to the end of his life, let alone let his siblings and his mother spend 10 years to repay their debts.

"Mom, we didn't advertise the grocery store before, right?" Su Manjin raised his head and asked: "Except for these neighbors in our new village, the old village and the next village don't know that we have opened a store, do you want to publicize it?" ”

Zeng Meiyue heard her daughter talk about publicity, "How to publicize it?" I discussed it with your dad the other day, and we're just getting started, and you'll find out later. ”

"Mom, I heard Uncle Sheng Rong say that the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys."

"Our small shop is not open on the street, so there are already a lot of customers. If we can't let the people around us know that our family has opened a store, when they need to buy something, they will still go to the street to buy something, so that we will have a lot fewer customers. ”

Su Manjin knew that although her mother didn't know how to read, she would definitely understand what she meant. From the previous life, she promoted the liquefied gas replacement business, and it can be known that her mother is still business-minded, but she has just started to open a store now, and she is not familiar with it, and she is a little timid.

"Mom, let's take this time as a trial operation. Starting tomorrow, let's prepare. First start with the new village, the old village too, and then the neighboring Zhengjia Village and Huangjia Village, which are closer to our village. We have to let every family know that if they want to buy something, they can come to our store. ”

Zeng Meiyue's eyes lit up when she heard her daughter's words, "My girl has just been in school for the first half of the year, and she still knows how to open a store." Then tell your mom again, what do we have to prepare, and how to publicize it? ”

Su Manjin pondered how to tell her mother about the operation of the store in an easy-to-understand way, and not let her wonder where her eight-year-old daughter came from.

"Let's take a store name first, so that customers can remember and disseminate it, and we will also need to use it to register a business license in the future."

"The categories of goods in the store also have to be sorted out and improved, now because we don't have the original funds, these goods are on credit to my uncle's house, but when we sell some of the cost of recovery, we can go to my uncle to replenish some goods, or we can pick up some other goods and put them in the store to sell."

"When the goods are abundant, customers can buy groceries in our store in one stop. In this way, we can sell more things and make more money. Customers don't have to go to different places, and when they save time, they will be more willing to come to our store to buy things. ”

"Although our small shop is not located outside facing the street, it is also a relatively middle location in the village, there is a motorcycle road in front of the door, whether people from the new village, the old village or the neighboring village want to buy things, it is not far, and the road is easy to walk."

"When we're ready, we can make some simple flyers, list some items that we commonly use in our daily lives, and choose one or two limited quantities for discounted prices. Customers who come to buy something during the opening event can enjoy a discounted price. ”

"Let's send leaflets to the target customer groups door-to-door, so everyone knows when we're going to officially open."

"We can also provide door-to-door delivery services. As long as the customer buys something for 100 yuan, we can deliver it to the door. Customers can also share orders with neighbors, as long as the total purchase of two adjacent families reaches 100 yuan, we can also deliver to the home. When business is good in the future, we can adjust the rules of home delivery. ”

"We can open a store in our own home, and we don't need to rent it, which is more cost-effective now. In the future, when our business grows big and makes money, we will go to the street to buy a storefront or rent a storefront to operate. ”

Zeng Meiyue looked at her daughter in a clear and coherent manner, talking about how to do a good job, although she was a little puzzled about how her daughter knew so much, but she thought that Xiaoman had been sensible since she was a child, and now she went to the school again, maybe it was the teacher's idea to share.

She felt very proud, and her confidence was also brought up by the little girl.

Originally, he ran this small shop, but the eldest brother was worried that he was weak and could not do small work, so he thought that he would open a small shop to subsidize the family, so that he would not have to do manual work.

I hadn't run a store before, and I was still a little worried, I didn't know if I could do it, and I didn't know when the money I owed to my eldest brother would be repaid, so I thought about trying to run it slowly.

I didn't expect her daughter to have an idea, although she hasn't tried these methods yet, but she has a hunch that it will definitely be promoted, at least the business on both the old and new sides of Sujia Village should be covered.

Zeng Meiyue was a little excited, when she was not married, her father also said that "it is better to be a businessman than to be a businessman". According to the way the daughter said, as long as the store can be promoted, maybe the husband and wife can cooperate to open the store to do business, and the husband does not have to do the hard work of mining stones and carrying them all the time.

Zeng Meiyue felt that she saw the hope that her life would get better!
