Chapter 1464: Acquiring Jinghua

~7 min read 1,338 words

"Hey, are you buying or not? If not, don't block the way here." A young man shouted behind several old ladies.

Old Lady Zhao and the others made way, and then saw the young man tear off a plastic bag from a hook and load several handfuls of green beans into it.

"Mom!" At this time, Yingzi spoke: "Let's buy two cucumbers too, to mix cold dishes on New Year's Day."

The short old lady looked at the vegetable price tag hanging on the light box: "Cucumbers are 12 a catty; too expensive."

"It's New Year; don't care about these ten or eight yuan."

Yingzi tore off a plastic bag and loaded two cucumbers. Then she thought about it and tore off another plastic bag, loading some green beans.

"Stewed pork with green beans."

"There are still quite a few days until the New Year; can it be kept?" Old Lady Zhao asked hesitantly.

The salesperson maintaining order heard it and reminded loudly: "Dear customers, our supermarket has sufficient supply of vegetables, and there will be some every day. If you only eat it on New Year's Day, don't buy it today, so as not to let it go bad."

Her words made many grandpas and grandmas hesitate, but the young people didn't care; they bought what they should buy.

Yingzi also hesitated and asked the salesperson: "Will there be fresh vegetables every day?"

"Right!" The salesperson guaranteed: "There will be every day."

Yingzi thought about it, but finally put down the cucumbers and green beans. After all, there were still four days until the New Year.

Such expensive vegetables, if they went bad, it would be heartbreaking.

An old grandpa asked: "Will the price rise in two days?"

"No!" The salesperson said: "The goods in our supermarket can only be cheaper than outside, absolutely not more expensive than outside."

"But these green vegetables are expensive, and a bit ridiculously expensive." A young man holding two eggplants complained.

The salesperson said with a smile: "But there are no fresh vegetables for sale outside."

The young man muttered something else and left with the plastic bag containing the eggplants.

The sky outside gradually darkened, but the people queuing outside not only didn't decrease, but there were even more.

Because they all got off work and ran over after hearing about it.

One was because the things inside were cheap, and the other was wanting to go in and see what it was like.

Wei Hongwei called the farm twice, and the farm also sent trucks twice to deliver meat and vegetables.

Originally, the store closed at eight in the evening, but there were too many people queuing outside, so it finally operated until past ten.

This was still because the temperature at night was too low, and people ran away because it was too cold to queue outside.

The store manager was a woman in her forties, also a farm employee. After the last guest left, she gathered all the employees.

"Everyone work a bit harder. Let's stock the goods tonight, so we don't have to get up early tomorrow."

Wei Hongwei stood on the side, looking at the exhausted employees: "I know everyone is exhausted today, so I applied to the leadership that from today until the 28th, there will be double wages every day.

There is no 30th this year; the 29th is the New Year, and we will work half a day. However, it will be calculated as one day, and it will be triple wages.

The employees, who were originally a bit listless, suddenly became energetic, and a little girl cheered.

"Long live the manager."

Wei Hongwei said with a smile: "The first day of the New Year is a day off. We will work on the second day, and until the fifth day, it will be a total of four days, also triple wages."

"What are you waiting for." A young man shouted: "Hurry up and stock the goods, don't delay tomorrow's business."

Whether it was the stock clerk or the salesperson, everyone got busy and began to put goods on the shelves.

Jingcheng had been snowing, although not heavily, but it had been snowing for two days, and the snow on the ground was also very thick.

By the time Zhou Andong and the others arrived home, it was already past one in the morning; the road was too difficult to walk.

Everyone hadn't slept, and the somewhat silent courtyard became lively with the arrival of Zhou Andong and the others.

"Brother, Sister-in-law!"

Zhou Anqin, Zhou Anwen, and Yuan Lu ran out first, and the three girls surrounded Seeing Jian Qiu.

What Zhou Andong didn't expect was that Zhou Qianyi had actually returned.

"Brother, Sister-in-law!"

Zhou Andong asked: "When did you come back?"

Zhou Qianyi said: "Just came back three days ago."

Zhou Andong asked: "Did Darunfa have any acclimatization problems over there?"

"No!" Zhou Qianyi said with some excitement: "Since the opening until the day I came back, Darunfa's turnover has maintained growth."

Zhou Andong asked: "How is Carrefour?"

Mentioning Carrefour, Zhou Qianyi got into the spirit: "They are simply not our opponent. Just the seven-day discount promotion at the opening was enough for us to beat Carrefour until they threw away their helmets and armor."

Zhou Andong asked curiously: "Did Carrefour not take any countermeasures?"

"No!" Zhou Qianyi shook her head: "I also feel strange."

Zhou Andong pondered: "It should be that we caught Carrefour off guard. After the New Year, there will definitely be a big battle between us; you have to be mentally prepared."

Zhou Qianyi said with a smile: "With you, the marketing master, what am I afraid of."

Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at her, and then saw several drivers wanting to unload the goods, and shouted at them.

"Eat first, unload after eating."

"Right, right, right!" Old Comrade Zhou sat on the chair: "If there's anything, talk after eating."

Yuan Liying led the way, and Old Comrade Zhou greeted them at the main gate.

Zhou Andong looked up at the two large lanterns hanging on the main gate and said with a smile: "It really is the New Year."

Zhou Qianyi said: "The courtyard is even more beautiful."

After everyone went in, Xiaobei pushed Old Zhou, and Zhou Andong, Seeing Jian Qiu, and Zhou Qianyi were at the end.

Entering the courtyard, Zhou Andong saw that the covered walkways on both sides were also hung with lanterns.

And the trees in the courtyard were hung with colored lights. The five-entry courtyard was all brightly lit.

Zhou Qianyi said with a smile: "I took two rolls of film in the courtyard; I'll take photos for you tomorrow night."

Zhou Andong's heart moved: "Did you bring a micro-video camera?"

Zhou Qianyi shook her head: "Didn't bring it."

Zhou Andong said: "Buy one tomorrow. This year is our family's big reunion; it must be recorded to leave a souvenir."

"No need to buy." Zhou Qianyi said: "The hotel has one; I'll go get it tomorrow."

"By the way!" Zhou Andong said: "Those few drivers, just go stay at your hotel."

"Alright!" Zhou Qianyi nodded: "I'll take them over after eating."

Arriving at the second-entry courtyard, everyone entered the restaurant.

Yuan Liying said: "The food has been kept warm in the pot, just waiting for you to come."

Fortunately, the area was large enough, and three new tables were bought.

Everyone sat down, and Zhou Andong was pulled by Yuan Hongzhan to sit by his side.

Old Uncle Zhou Xiaoli sat on the other side of Zhou Andong.

"There is a matter; if you hadn't come back today, I would have thought about calling you tomorrow."

Zhou Andong asked: "What is it?"

"Jinghua's matter." Zhou Xiaoli said: "District leaders found Darunfa. At first, they wanted to cooperate. You had explained that we couldn't cooperate, so President Tang didn't agree. But a few days later, the district leaders came again and agreed to let us acquire it." ===== CHAPTER 1465 =====
