Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1374: Grand Opening

“Not bad,” Chu Jin nodded satisfactorily. “Big Brother, Second Brother, where are you off to?”

Chu Sheng, seeing Chu Jin composed and smiling, said, “We were originally going to meet a classmate, but I’m sure with your shop’s news spreading so hotly, in no time we’ll be surrounded by people asking us about it. How about you join us, Lil’ Jin?”

“No, I still have many things unfinished, and besides, Big Brother, are you sure you’re going to meet a classmate, not to look at potential matches?” Chu Jin’s last sentence directly caused Chu Sheng to blush with embarrassment.

Chu Sheng: “You little rascal, even making fun of me now.”

“Big Brother, I’m just telling the truth. No one is more sincere than I am,” Chu Jin said with the thickest face, not blushing a bit when he teased others.

Chu Sheng and the others were no match for him, all admitting weakness; not only could they not keep up with his wit, but they also weren’t as shameless.

After seeing off the group, Chu Jin joined Madam Zhang, Madam Liu, and other elders for lunch.

After eating, he continued to be busy.

When evening came, he was called over by Madam Liu.

“Granny,” Chu Jin stood at the door and knocked.

Chu Zhiwen opened the door and let him in.

Chu Jin entered the room, sat down on a stool by the door, and poured himself a cup of tea from the tea tray beside him: “Granny, what did you need me for?”

“Look at this, all these invitation cards are for us. Your shop is so famous now, everyone knows about it. Families with good relations in the county are all talking about sending congratulatory gifts.”

“Let them send them. Normal social interactions should not be cut off. However, we can give these families discount cards.”

“What are discount cards?” Madam Liu expressed curiosity about the novel idea he just mentioned.

Chu Jin explained, “It’s like, the more they buy, the cheaper it becomes, and when new products arrive, they will be notified in advance.”

Madam Liu understood the benefits immediately: “You clever boy, always quick-witted. But these cards should be limited in number, right? Otherwise, they won’t be precious, and it would seem rude to give them away.”

“Of course, there’ll be about ten or so for the entire county. However, the discount can only be used when the amount exceeds a certain number.”

“As long as you have a plan,” Madam Liu handed him the invitations so he could see who all was there.

Most of them were acquaintances: the County Magistrate, the sub-prefect’s family, some landowners’ families, the Young Master Xie’s family, the Du families, and so on.

“Do your grandfather and I need to help you out tomorrow?”

“No need, this is just a casual enterprise of mine. There’s no need for the elders to make an appearance.” Chu Jin was just testing the waters and had no intention of being overly showy.

Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen nodded in agreement, showing their support.

The next morning arrived.

Red silk cloth was hung early at the storefront of the department store in North City.

Six potted plants were placed at the entrance, each also draped with silk cloth.

The six-panel door was opened wide, appearing very imposing.

When the auspicious moment arrived, a series of firecrackers crackled and popped.

Chu Jin had Zhang Cong accept the gifts and sent people to deliver discount cards to the families who sent congratulatory presents.

As he stood to the side, along with the Second Housekeeper, he pulled down the red silk cloth covering the shop sign, marking the ceremony complete.

After another round of crackling sounds.

Several waiters briskly moved the potted plants away from the entrance, so as not to block the customers from entering.

Inside the shop, the shelves were laden with goods, the advertised chicken wings were laid out with a thin layer of ice on top and different prices were marked and placed on the counter.

Unable to resist, Chu Lin and Madam Liu went inside to have a look as well.

They noticed some baskets for carrying items placed beside the entrance.
