Chapter 1376: Chapter 1373: Warm-up
“If you are in a hurry to use it, I will have everyone rush the work for you in a moment.”
The opening date for Chu Jin was set, and he had other matters to attend to afterwards. He didn’t refuse his uncle’s kindness, “Uncle, then I will trouble you indeed. I do need you to rush the work, it just needs to be done by tonight.”
“All right, just rest assured,” Chu Cai had been doing woodworking for so many years, he certainly had the skills.
“Then I will have someone move it over first.” Chu Jin had already called for people before coming.
After negotiating with Chu Cai, he calculated the costs, had Zhang Cong pay the silver, and write down the bill, then had other servants transport the shelves into the store.
There were several mule carts at the door, borrowed from the old residence for use.
When the cabinets were delivered into the store, Zhang Cong directed the workers to arrange them according to Chu Jin’s requested style.
Chu Jin didn’t manage the store’s matters himself, he had entrusted Zhang Cong fully with stocking and arranging the items.
He then went back to the residence, where he was checking the promotional paintings drawn by Steward Xu.
“Tomorrow morning, post this promotional painting at the door,” Chu Jin said, pointing at the painting that advertised new products.
“I need you to handle another matter.”
Due to the time constraints, Chu Jin could only use today for promotion.
Thus the promotional stories written by Steward Xu beforehand came in handy.
“Young Master, just tell me,”
Chu Jin said, “Go find a few storytellers to promote the specialties of our store.”
“I understand, Young Master,” Steward Xu nodded, withdrew the silver from the accounts, recorded it, and then hurried out.
Within half a day, a common topic had begun to emerge in the county.
“Do you want to eat a plate of chicken wings, just for the cost of the wings?”
“Do you want to eat chicken hearts, without having to kill ten or twenty chickens?”
“Which part of the chicken do you folks like?”
“Want to eat cabbage without needing the outer leaves, what if you waste them, buy them separately.”
“How to eat fruits in winter? Go to the North City Department Store.”
“Can’t find honey to buy? Go to the North City Department Store.”
“North City Department Store, fair prices, everything available.”
“North City Department Store, opening tomorrow at the Si hour, sale of ten percent off on opening day.”
Not to mention the city folk knew all about it, even Chu Zhiwen, when he went out, was stopped by many asking about it. He hadn’t yet mentioned it was his own grandson’s store, only thinking about the grand scale, it was likely to be very lively tomorrow.
The Chu Jin he was thinking about was currently training the servants who would be working in the store.
Actually, the people had been training for a few days now, and they were all newly hired, totaling eight people.
“Your main duties are to teach customers to check prices themselves, and to watch out for those with sticky fingers. If you find any, send them straight to the county government.”
“Also, once the store’s goods are sold, you must stock new items promptly.”
“Yes, Young Master, the servant understands,”
Due to restrictions, he had selected all young men, who would be more convenient to work in the store.
After a morning of fermentation.
When Chu Jin returned to Chu Lin’s family, he was met by Chu Zhang, Chu Sheng, and a few other brothers coming out of the house.
Chu Bo, seeing him, ran over excitedly and grabbed his arm, “Jin, you’re too amazing! All quietly, you even opened a store without telling us brothers.”
Chu Jin glanced at his stomach, “Did you train today?”
Chu Bo’s face turned red, “… I practiced martial arts!”
