Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 225: Do You Want a Drink?
"Oh my! What are all these things inside? Are they food? Are they real or fake? How are they so beautiful?"
"I don’t know about the others, but those peach crisp cookies and such, you can tell just by looking that they’re real."
"The others must be real too, why would fake ones be placed here!"
"Exactly! We can just imagine they’re real!"
"I’ve seen this store being renovated for a long time, and I was wondering what it would sell. Is it open now? Let’s go and take a look."
Jiang Ran and the other two listened to these words, watching these people spontaneously walk towards the store, feeling quite complex inside.
The flyers were already printed but hadn’t been distributed yet.
This means they hadn’t done any promotion, yet these people were already visiting.
Chen Bing grinned widely, showing his big white teeth, "I knew it would definitely work!"
Jiang Ran didn’t say anything, but she smiled along with him. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
No matter what, it’s a good start and something to be happy about.
Chen Bing and Pei Huai could continue standing outside and observing, they didn’t need to go in, but Jiang Ran had to go in.
The two young girls responsible for cashiering and packaging had only rehearsed before; this was their first real experience, and Jiang Ran didn’t feel assured without overseeing them.
Fortunately, these girls were quite smart, maybe not the fastest workers, but they excelled in attention to detail, with a constant warm smile on their faces and speaking gently. Even if there was a wait due to the crowd, no one showed signs of impatience.
Jiang Ran remained silent, standing unobtrusively in a corner observing everything.
Throughout the whole day, the flow of customers wasn’t continuously heavy, but people came and went, and overall, it was quite nice.
Jiang Ran secretly calculated that on the first day of the trial operation, without any promotions, sales already equaled the usual amount of the small shop.
With promotion, business would only get better.
A big city is great!
There’s a large population, and even more people with money!
The successful first day of the trial operation relieved a huge worry in Chen Bing’s heart.
Chen Bing trusted his own judgment and Jiang Ran’s ability.
But doing business isn’t just about having these two things.
Timing, location, and teamwork, none can be absent for the business to succeed.
Fortunately, it seems to have succeeded, indeed a reason to be happy.
Being happy, Chen Bing didn’t let Jiang Ran and Pei Huai cook dinner that night; instead, he took them out for mutton hotpot.
They went to the same restaurant they visited when they first arrived in beishi; the meat was still the same, and so was the taste, but the feeling in their hearts while eating was different now.
Back then, the three of them were exhausted and uncertain about the future when they ate here.
But now, they’ve had some initial success and are filled with joy.
Chen Bing also ordered a bottle of liquor, just a regular Erguotou.
Opening the bottle, Chen Bing poured himself a glass first, then looked at Jiang Ran and Pei Huai, "Do either of you want to drink?"
If it were someone else, they might not even ask and just fill the glasses, saying something like "Today’s a celebration, drink up."
Though it’s a lot to say, it can still be annoying.
But being like Chen Bing, asking for others’ opinions first, makes it less bothersome.
Jiang Ran had also drunk before, white wine, red wine, beer, fruit wine, she’s tried them all.
She believes her alcohol tolerance is quite good.
