HCB Chapter 524 Supermarket Opening
Chapter 524 Supermarket Opening
Five supermarkets opened on the same day, and each store was assigned a store manager and a deputy store manager.
Twenty maids and ten servants.
Cuifener and Mr. Shen's second daughter-in-law smiled as they tore off the red cloth that marked Liang County.
Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Mrs. Guo also tore off the red cloth covering the plaque amid the sound of firecrackers.
Grandma Gao and Grandma Li, the wife of Shen Dalin, also tore down the red cloth of the Zhuo County Department Store branch amid the cheers of their children and grandchildren, attracting many people to watch.
At the same time, Old Lady Fang and her group were also very lively in An County.
However, the most lively place is Shuntian Prefecture.
The auspicious time has arrived.
Colorful fireworks suddenly bloomed.
Old Lady Hua, dressed like an old lady from a wealthy family, stood at the gate. With the help of Shen Youyou and Shen Zhiqiu, she pulled off the red silk on the sign.
The words "Aboriginal Department Store Headquarters" were clearly visible on it.
Then there was another burst of firecrackers.
Before the sound of firecrackers stopped and the crowd could react, they heard someone congratulating them.
All the people from the nine tribes present were very surprised.
"Duke Fu's Mansion wishes Jiuzu Supermarket a great opening and a huge influx of customers! We'll give you a pair of jade ruyi!"
Shen Youyou widened her eyes and looked at her father in surprise.
As a result, his father seemed even more surprised.
It's not just the father and daughter. Today, almost all the people from the nine clans have been assigned to various counties. After all, this is the newly opened supermarket of theirs.
So the most people were allocated to Shuntianfu, and now they are gathered at the entrance of the supermarket, all of them are very surprised and delighted.
None of them expected that the Fu family would send them a gift. After all, they had not told the Fu family about opening a supermarket.
However, the surprises were not over yet, as congratulations followed.
"Anyuan Marquis Mansion wishes the nine clans a prosperous business and abundant wealth!"
"The Ministry of Rites wishes the Nine Clans a happy opening of their new store, and a happy gathering of guests from all directions!"
"The Ministry of Revenue's Office..."
"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."
"Ministry of Industry..."
"Dad, what's going on?"
Confused Shen Zhiqiu:
"The Fu family and Mr. Mao, even if the Wei family or the Minister of Works came to send gifts, it would be understandable, but the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion has no social connections, and the Minister of Rites doesn't know them. I don't know what's going on. What's going on?"
But this was not the end yet. A series of congratulations lasted for a whole stick of incense.
Later, a gift was also sent from Prime Minister Ning's residence.
The onlookers were shocked. What kind of store was this? It wasn't even located on the most prosperous main street, so how could it attract congratulations from most of the powerful and wealthy people in the capital?
Not to mention the common people were surprised, Shen Zhiqiu and his companions were not much better off.
Shen Zhiqiu quickly took the nine clansmen present, as well as Chen Dongjia, Chang Dongjia, Zhou Qian and others who had come early to help, to receive those who brought gifts.
Although the people who came were servants from various families, they still had to observe proper etiquette.
There was a crossroads not far away, and opposite it was a bookstore.
Many scholars also leaned on the railings to watch the lively opening of the supermarket.
Among them were Fu Huaian’s three bad friends, Xiao Zhe, the eldest son of the Yongkang Earl family,
The baby-faced second son of Minister Wei, Wei Yichen, and Ning Yu, Fu Huaian’s cousin and grandson of Prime Minister Ning.
The baby-faced man leaned against the railing, fanning himself with a folding fan in one hand: "My goodness, my father has a good relationship with Lord Shen, so it would be fine if he sent someone to congratulate him, but why are your two families also joining in the fun?"
Next to him, Xiao Zhe closed the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "I asked my servants to go and congratulate him. My father doesn't know."
Ning Yu also walked to the window: "What are you thinking?"
"What can I think about? I just admire Mr. Shen's literary talent. Your family has always been low-key, so why did you send a gift this time?"
"My aunt sent a message to my family, asking them to help the Shen family."
To watch the fun, Baby Face almost crawled out half of his body, still reciting everything:
"Good fellow, Ning Yu, what is the relationship between the Shen family and your aunt's family? Your cousins' families have all come to congratulate you.
I see that the one below is the chief steward of your cousin's house, Anyuan Marquis Mansion, right?"
"Oh, who is that person getting off the sedan chair? Is your third cousin here in person?"
Even these three were like this. Several rich young men in front of the windows on the first and second floors were even more agitated.
Some of them, who were more thoughtful, had already sneaked out of the crowd with their servants, intending to go to the store themselves.
What to buy or not to buy is another matter, but it would be even better if I could have a chance encounter with that rich girl.
Some of them loved to chatter and especially loved to show off. Among them was a fat boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was lying in front of the window.
"Did you see that? The third young lady of the Fu family is here in person. It was said before that the Fu family has some relationship with the nine newly settled clans. It seems to be true."
"Oh, the one getting off the sedan behind is the wife of Censor Chen, followed by several young ladies from the mansion."
This is not the end yet. Listen to him chattering about the wife and daughter of the Vice Minister of War, the family of the Grand Secretary, and the young master of the Marquis Cheng'en.
According to the fat man's revelations, although the faces of the ladies who got off the car could not be seen clearly, after all, they were wearing hats as soon as they got off the car, and there were many maids and old women surrounding them as they entered the store.
But, it feels really satisfying to hear him reveal the names like this.
Although nowadays, with the popularity of plastic soles in Shuntian Prefecture, and the nine clans becoming one of the imperial merchants of Daqing.
It also has a certain weight in the hearts of many people.
Even though Shen Zhiqiu has only been an official for a short time, and even though he is only a sixth-rank official now, he is still famous!
Whether it was the scholars in the study or the common people watching, everyone had heard of the Nine Clans.
If nothing else, just look at everyone's feet, almost all of them are wearing shoes with plastic soles.
There is almost no one who has not heard of the Nine Clans.
Therefore, when the store opened today, Jiu Zu did not do much publicity at all. It should be said that there was no publicity at all.
People from all directions heard the news and wanted to join in the fun, so they gradually gathered.
The third daughter of the Fu family, Fu Yuyao, has always been a well-known figure in the circle of noble ladies, both before and after her marriage.
She has a childlike nature, loves to play and be lively.
After hearing that Jiu Zu was going to open a supermarket, he wanted to come and take a look in person. Not only did he come himself, he also called over several of his close friends, including the ladies and wives.
The nobles from these families met each other and followed the crowd into the store.
Li Jingshu was at the door, and Mrs. Hua personally received us.
Although I haven't seen it, ours is a supermarket, not a club. If you want to see something, you are welcome to come in and see it for yourself.
These ladies had no intention of revealing their identities.
One of the young ladies asked:
"Yaoyao, those hairpins and ornaments you gave me before look more exquisite than those sold in the silver shop. I heard that they don't sell them to the public. I wonder if they have them in this supermarket!"
