Chapter 919: Opening a mall—— the grand dream
Yu Dong looked at her husbands through the window which she made in the wall which faced the driver's side. who were sitting inside the carriage along with Xian Lei who was sitting on Fang Chi's lap and asked, " Are you really going to be fine? It is too cold."
" We are already halfway through the town," replied Ye Liu as he looked at Yu Dong. " We cannot be late on the first day of our work. We will be able to handle everything just fine."
"That's right," Chen Mi squeezed his fists and looked at Yu Dong with excitement flickering in his eyes. " This bit of hardship is nothing and you have dressed us like a bear, there is no way we will catch a cold."
" We will be fine, it is just selling vegetables and nothing else," Fang Chi chimed in as he pinched Xian Lie's chubby cheeks causing the little girl to stare at Yu Dong with a gaze that she had nothing to live for.
Yu Dong chuckled when she saw their reaction and then said, "That's true, since you have chosen to come along, I know you are not going to give up halfway."
After making sure that the three of them were fine, Yu Dong turned to drive the carriage once again. Since she needed to carry a lot of basket of vegetables, she asked Mammy Lin to drive the cart while she drove the carriage to the town.
Soon they arrived at the Big River Town, Yu Dong drove the carriage through the busy silent streets but soon as she twisted and turned the carriage they arrived at the market which was still bustling in such cold weather.
There were already a few vegetable vendors who were selling chives and garlic though they were not as fresh as the vegetables which they grew in their backyard, the vegetable vendors were having no trouble selling the wilting chives and garlic.
Seeing this Ye Liu frowned and then said, " Dong Dong, do you think that we will be fine? It is not even seven in the morning but people are already buying vegetables and meat." He looked around at the streets and added, " I don't think there will be many customers at our shop."
Yu Dong turned to look at him and calmly answered, " We are not aiming for numbers Liu, we are aiming for the quality of customers. As long as we attract a decent and rich customer, it will not take long for us to sell everything."
Though the mers did not think that it was going to be that easy but they still chose to trust Yu Dong.
Soon they arrived at a shop which was three story building and looked at the large gate which was in front of it. Seeing the building Ye Liu was shocked as he turned to look at Yu Dong and asked, " Isn't this too big?"
" Why will it not be big?" Yu Dong replied to him as she hopped down at then pushed the door which was in front of her. " This was supposed to be our house if everything went all right, if not for the fact that the village was sold to our family, do you think that I was going to stay in the village?"
She then asked the mers to carry the baskets inside the shop and then started stacking them nicely. As her husbands worked on stacking the vegetables, Yu Dong continued to instil her spiritual energy into the vegetables causing them to become even more fresh and lustrous.
Once she was done, Yu Dong picked up a small table which was sitting inside the house and then placed it outside. Where she sliced some tomatoes and sprinkled some salt on them, similarly, she crushed the cucumber and then drizzled it with garlic, chilli oil which she made herself and some oil.
For the sake of aesthetics, she even added some roasted sesame seeds which she was carrying with her and added cilantro on the crushed cucumber before tossing everything up nicely.
If this vegetable shop of hers worked nicely then she will use the second floor to sell fruits while making the third floor to sell things like jam and chilli oil along with her spiritual white rice.
Yu Dong had already decided that she was going to use this building to introduce the first mall of this era where she will slowly add all sorts of things to be sold. But for that, she had to start with small steps!
" Wife, what are you doing?" Chen Mi asked as he looked at the board which Yu Dong placed on the table and saw that it read —— free samples.
" This is going to be our publicity front," Yu Dong answered as she turned to look at the mer who was standing in front of her shop. She had heard the sound of his footsteps long ago and thus turned to look at Chen Mi, she knew that if she was to speak to the mer, he will be awkward and thus left the job of conversing with mers to her husband.
Sure enough, Chen Mi picked up her signal and then turned to greet the mer, " Hello, young master. Are you here to buy vegetables?"
" Ah…yes." The mer answered as he looked down at the young daughter of the official husband who was eyeing the colourful vegetables with excited eyes. " I was going to buy some vegetables to prepare something for my family, I did not expect to find your shop."
To think that there was someone selling tomatoes as big and ripe in this weather.
Just the very sight of those tomatoes which were dripping with water droplets made his stomach rumble. But the mer knew that since tomatoes like these were rare even in summer, they might be really expensive now that it was winter.
" Daddy Song, I want to eat tomatoes! I also want those cucumbers they look good!" The girl chimed from the side as she looked at the mer who looked helpless. He wanted to refuse but Song Zhi knew that if he didn't buy these tomatoes for the ancestor of his family, he will surely fall in the eyes of the official husband and thus he gritted his teeth and asked, " How much for the tomatoes and cucumbers?"
