Although he was selling goods, working at Qiao’s Small Eatery was an eye-opener. You can find almost all types of foods and ingredients there.
It was an experience of learning the unheard and seeing the unseen!
Shopkeeper Niu had a deep understanding of this. He followed the staff, holding a notebook in one hand, a pen in the other, and humming a song. His mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile. He was genuinely delighted.
Qiao Mai locked the storeroom’s door and joined them in the front.
Tianshui Town was bustling with activity. A significant portion of the crowd had gathered for the wedding, while others were there to display their merchandise, buy goods, or be passersby.
People assumed it was a local market day and were surprised to learn that it was the wedding day of the town mayor.
“Wow, the town mayor is finally getting married; that’s quite an achievement. It’s not easy.”
When they found out the bride was the embroidery shop’s owner, they were even more surprised.
“Yeah? What’s the big deal? They’ve been close for a while.”
“Tell us more about it!”
People gathered and began discussing, revealing details from the young days of Lu Sanniang and Mayor Qian.
Qiao Mai sat in front of her shop, eating sunflower seeds, listening intently.
As the people talked, they noticed that Qiao’s Small Eatery had stocked new items, and they all rushed into the shop. Meanwhile, the staff was busy adding labels to the goods on the shelves.
Several dozen baskets of goods from Lucky Garden had been placed in the backyard. The staff used exquisite bamboo baskets to pack fruits and nuts and then arranged them on the shelves.
Each basket was neat and well-organized with price tags.
Inside the shop, the sunshine was abundant. In the center were fruits, on the left were nuts, and on the right were various snacks.
Some customers marveled, “Shopkeeper Niu, it seems your boss wants to make a fortune from Mayor Qian’s wedding!”
“Yeah, why not? It’s a rare occasion for the mayor to get married. Everyone’s gathering here, and you should take some snacks home, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ve noticed many unfamiliar items here.”
“No problem, as long as you want to buy, you can taste them. If you don’t like them, you don’t have to buy them.”
“Haha, everyone has their preferences. Oh, I can’t resist the look of those fresh peaches. Are they expensive?”
“We’re still in the process of pricing them; we’ll start selling them shortly.”
Shopkeeper Niu set the prices and answered the customers with a cheerful attitude.
Old Mistress Wang immediately reached for the strawberries and cherries. “I love these.”
“Don’t eat too much of them.”
“Understood, housekeeper. By the way, why don’t you show your face?” “I won’t go; there are too many people, and it’s chaotic.”
As they talked, they saw some people coming out of Mayor Qian’s house, wiping their mouths.
When they spotted Qiao Mai, they felt a little embarrassed.
“Madam Qiao, why didn’t you go?”
“Watching the shop. I’m close to the bride and groom, so it doesn’t matter whether I go or not. What’s up with you? I guess the wedding banquet has started?”
“Eating is enough. I was thinking about your goods; otherwise, they might get sold out.”
“Oh, please come in. If it’s late, they might run out!”
The customers entered the shop and saw some people making purchases, so they immediately joined in the frenzy.
“I want that one, that one, and that one!”
“Cream strawberries are five taels of silver per catty, big cherries are five taels of silver per catty, and peaches are one tael of silver per catty. How many catties would you like?”
“Damn, that’s so expensive!”
“The cost price is high, plus transportation and labor costs. Besides, it’s not even April yet. To be able to eat such fruits is like a unique opportunity.” “Alright, I’ll take ten catties of peaches and five catties of others.”
“Great choice!”
Watching from behind the window, Qiao Mai could see the customers with pained expressions. These men didn’t mind spending on expensive drinks but hesitated when buying snacks for their families.
Old Mistress Wang, sitting by the side, was amused. Among the customers inside the shop were both wealthy and ordinary people.
They bought these treats for their children, who loved the snacks here. Even though they usually refrain from indulging, they let their children enjoy today because of the joyful occasion of the mayor’s wedding.
For customers like these, the shop assistants often provided a bit more than what they paid for.
They wanted them to feel satisfied and not regret their purchases.
Qiao Mai had instructed her shop assistants to treat customers who could save money for their shop purchases with generosity.
Several customers inside the shop lamented, “Shopkeeper Niu, these prices you set are quite expensive! My family will go bankrupt with one purchase.”
“Bah! Let’s not talk about inauspicious things. These prices are much cheaper than in the capital. If the shop isn’t located in this small town, you wouldn’t have the chance to taste these. The wealthy families don’t even mind paying ten taels per catty for what they want. Take these peaches, for instance. Even if they cost one tael of silver per catty, you’d still think they’re expensive. If that’s the case, my boss will take them home to enjoy.”
“Not expensive, it’s not expensive! I’ll buy it. I can’t win against your mouth..
Haha!”
