The opening ceremony of the supermarket was not very grand. No big shots or famous figures were invited to cut the ribbon. However, the popularity is extremely strong, especially when some of the first and second prizes in the lottery gifts are displayed on the stage set up, and the crowd of onlookers in Yanjing is bright.
When the sales assistants, cashiers and security guards in the supermarket took their places and the fireworks exploded a few times, Millennium Supermarket officially opened for business. A group of customers rushed into the supermarket and did not buy anything immediately. Instead, they were shocked by the huge and unique decoration of the supermarket.
Looking at the neat rows of shelves and the smiling salesmen, everyone was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.
But this calmness was quickly broken by the noise in the vegetable market, especially the meat paralysis area where many people gathered in an instant. It was not like the ordinary vegetable market where half-fans of pork were hung on iron hooks. How much meat did you want? How much is cut from above.
There are neatly sliced pork slices stacked on the counter. The bright meat makes people want to buy it just by looking at it. What's more important is that these meats are separated from different parts of the pig and are not sold together like good and bad meat stalls.
Of course, prices vary for different parts. Tenderloin is the most expensive, while pork face and ears are the cheapest. In short, if you just want to eat meat, you don’t have to grit your teeth to cut off two pounds to take home like before. Here you can choose the relatively cheap cuts of meat and buy them back, which is absolutely cost-effective.
If you are from a well-off family and have some in your mouth, you don’t have to worry about selling the meat and have to distinguish it yourself. The most expensive tenderloin is your first choice, and the tenderloin is definitely the tenderloin without any other parts mixed with it. Meat.
"It's so cheap, isn't it dead pork?" Looking at the shiny meat in front of her, an aunt hesitated a little while looking at the price of the meat above her head.
"Auntie, you can rest assured. All the pork is freshly slaughtered from the slaughterhouse in the early morning. It is definitely not bad meat. You can understand it by pressing it with your fingers and looking at the color. If you don't believe it, I will tell you. Next time you take another shot."
The salesperson behind the counter seemed to have been selling meat in the vegetable market. Apparently, he often encountered this problem, so he took a piece of meat and cut it in half so that people could see what was going on inside.
"It's definitely good meat. There's no dead blood under the skin, and after it's cut it's the same color as the outside. It's really good meat. Give me two kilograms of this pork belly."
"I also want two kilograms. I want this piece. You can cut it for me and let me take a look. If there is no problem, I want it."
After confirming that the meat was okay, the aunt and some men who were hesitant suddenly became uneasy, so they pointed at the people at the counter and said they wanted this piece of that piece, and deliberately reached out and grabbed the meat they wanted in their hands and waited. Weigh it.
Just after the pork stall was surrounded, someone shouted from a place selling vegetables not far away: "Chinese cabbage costs eight cents a pound."
In an instant, he ran over to a group of people, hugging one, or two, urging the salesperson to quickly weigh him, for fear that the cabbage in his arms would not be his own.
"How could this happen?" Looking at the two or three kittens in the higher-grade home appliances and other daily necessities, the vegetable area, which he was least interested in, was actually crowded with people, and many things seemed to be being robbed. The crowd had gone to the shelves, and the goods were swept away in an instant. Dongzi looked blank, feeling like he was hallucinating.
How much money can you save by selling the 80-cent pieces of green vegetables and radish heads at a discount? Just get a 20% discount on higher-end electrical appliances. That’s a price difference of tens of dollars, which is enough for you to buy a bunch of Chinese cabbage, okay? Are these people incapable of settling accounts?
"This is normal. Let the logistics side quickly bring out the goods from the warehouse and put them on the shelf. Don't let the shelves be empty. Also let the security over there maintain order and don't have any accidents." Is Yang Dongxu aware of the scene in front of him? What a surprise.
Later generations have seen many supermarkets open. No matter what is sold at a discount, the first things to be robbed are vegetables and pork, especially Chinese cabbage or winter melon.
The second most popular items are cooking oil, rice and noodles. As for daily necessities such as shampoo, shower gel, and home appliances that can save a lot of money, they are at the bottom, and even in the end no one cares about them.
Customers who only care about vegetables and carrots won’t settle accounts? In terms of saving money, I really don’t think about it. I bought a lot of vegetables and radish heads, but I didn’t save more than half of the money by buying an induction cooker.
But looking at this issue from their perspective, it is correct. Because it doesn’t matter if you buy home appliances a day later or a day earlier, or even not buy them at all, but such cheap vegetables, pork, etc. are not necessarily available every day, so if you take the opportunity, you will naturally buy it to death, even if you can’t finish it at home. If it's rotten, you have to buy it back first.
After a lot of looting, many aunties squeezed out of the vegetable area as if they had won a battle. Each of them had at least two or three vegetables in their hands or in their arms. Some of them grabbed a pig leg with their hands and started to eat. I didn’t even have time to pick up a bag to put things in.
After weighing the items, they checked out at the door. When they saw that the amount they had spent reached 20 yuan, they started to run over to draw the prize excitedly.
The chance of winning the grand prize is definitely not high, but there are constant small prizes. A box of soap, or a lighter can keep them excited for a long time.
Then she came down and saw a bunch of things she bought. Someone who knew the person asked her to look at it for her first, and she was ready to rush in and fight again.
When I was doing a strong draw just now, I actually got a razor worth several dollars. It seems that I am very lucky today. If I don't buy something for the lottery, it would be a shame for my luck today, not to mention that these things are really cheap. If there is no lottery, you will lose money if you don’t buy more.
There was no one to help watch, so he hurriedly carried his things back home. He originally went in just to take a look, but he unexpectedly bought four kilograms of ribs. He didn’t have enough money in his waist, so he hurriedly sent his things back and brought more. If money comes late, cheap items may be robbed.
The looting scene in the supermarket started from the vegetable area and spread to the entire supermarket. Slowly, although other areas are not as exaggerated as the vegetable area, as long as people coming out of the supermarket are not empty-handed, they will buy something.
Some customers couldn't help but buy things that cost 10 yuan and felt that they could use them. When they saw that they had to collect 20 yuan to get a lucky draw, eh! This box of convenience food tastes good. I have eaten it before. It is actually three yuan cheaper than other places. Moving a box...
In order to make up for the minimum amount of the lottery, customers who just want to buy something, even if they just want to buy a bag of MSG at first, rarely spend less than 20 yuan in the end.
This immediately showed the benefit of Yang Dongxu's setting the minimum lottery limit at 20 yuan. Now the average salary of factory workers is already over a hundred yuan.
Twenty yuan, which is equivalent to one-fifth of a laborer's monthly salary, seems like a lot, but before you know it, you can make up enough by just buying some things.
If the amount of the lottery is set at 100 yuan, then relatively rational people, after buying what they need, see that they are still far short of the minimum consumption of the lottery, then they may just check out and leave without buying anything else. .
Therefore, setting the lottery at 20 yuan may seem low, but it is actually a trap that no one can detect. As long as people buy something, they will be able to collect 20 yuan to participate in the lottery.
If they only get something worth a few cents during the lottery, then these people will feel that they have made a lot of money, and they are likely to go back and continue buying things, and then come back to the lottery again. This cycle continues, and the amount of consumption is unknown. I went up without realizing it.
The bustling scene at Millennium Supermarket suddenly attracted the attention of pedestrians outside who had not originally planned to enter the supermarket to buy anything. Many people stopped to watch the excitement.
After watching someone win a bag of rice worth 100 yuan for only 20 yuan, the crowd became uneasy for a moment. Anyway, 20 yuan is not a lot of money. I just have that much money in my pocket. Today When Millennium Supermarket opens, everything is on sale and it's a good deal. If you go in and buy something, you'll make a lot of money if you win the first prize all at once.
In this way, customers keep coming in and out of the supermarket. On the lottery table at the door, even a prize worth dozens of yuan can burst into cheers, and then attract a few people who originally came out with no intention of buying anything to come back and shop again. Ichiban.
The hustle and bustle started at nine in the morning and lasted for more than three hours until 12 noon. Many office workers in the China World Trade Center were attracted to come and do some shopping during their lunch break.
"I've contacted them over there, but the warehouse is almost empty. When can I deliver it?"
Yang Dongxu, who was at the back door of Millennium Supermarket, was holding a cup of instant noodles and eating them sizzlingly. He didn't take a break all morning. Hu Dashan was extremely busy in charge of the lottery, so he could only keep an eye on the logistics and loading of goods. Meanwhile, Dongzi was constantly patrolling in the supermarket, asking the security guards to pay attention to the crowded crowd so that nothing could happen to them, so Yang Dongxu was so hungry that he could only use instant noodles to deal with it.
Not only the salespersons in his supermarket, but also the cashiers and security guards were also very tired. Yang Dongxu had been busy for a long time just now to help them divide their classes and take turns to eat in batches at noon when there were relatively few customers. Otherwise, they would be too busy like this. You may not have time to eat even if you are closed at night.
"It's expanded, it's expanded, it's on the way." Dongzi said vaguely, chewing bread in his mouth.
"What did the slaughterhouse say?" Yang Dongxu turned to look at Hu Dashan.
"We've already made contact. There is a buddy of mine at the slaughterhouse. He will send ten big pigs that have just been slaughtered in a moment. These people are crazy. Why are you buying so much meat after the year has passed? Do you want to continue doing it? Sausage and bacon?" Hu Dashan felt that his throat was a little smokey. There was no slightly higher prize in the lottery area at the door. He was even more excited than the person who won the prize and shouted to promote it.
Originally, there was a dedicated person doing this job, and she was a good-looking girl, but the weak girl couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the uncles and aunts for the lottery and almost got pushed off the lottery table. For a while, she couldn't find a suitable one. He had no choice but to take the job himself.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Thinking about the vegetable area, no matter how hard he tried to get in and out, Yang Dongxu witnessed with his own eyes the horror of Auntie's fighting power.
