(Supplementary for ten months, 5,800 monthly tickets plus updates)
The next day, the five people from the Governor's Office of the West District came again.
Three days of closure? The five of them were speechless and could only go back.
Not long after, Xiahou Longcheng came back with his men. His men were right. The shop was closed, but there was a constant ringing sound inside.
A large curtain hung from the second floor, blocking the view of the first floor. On the curtain was written: No Visitors.
However, Xiahou Longcheng didn't care so much. He directly lifted the curtain and barged in. He saw that the lobby on the first floor had been torn apart. It could be said that it was beyond recognition. A group of carpenters was busy.
Miao Yi was discussing with the craftsmen inside. It looked like they were talking about rebuilding the lobby.
Seeing Xiahou Longcheng come in, Miao Yi immediately greeted him with a smile. "Commander, you're here."
"Why did you demolish it?" Xiahou Longcheng was puzzled.
'Son of a b * tch, you forced me to do it!' Miao Yi smiled. "The traffic is too high. The original layout can't handle it, so we have to rebuild it."
"Is it done in the past three days?" Xiahou Longcheng asked with concern.
"It should be done." Miao Yi reached for a chair. "Commander, let's sit down."
"There's no need!" There wasn't even a place to stand. Xiahou Longcheng wasn't interested in staying there, but he ordered, "Hurry up. Once it's done, we can open early."
After saying that, he turned around and left. When he opened the curtain and came out, he was filled with boredom. He was now addicted to reselling jewelry. Every day, he didn't have to do anything, and he could earn more than a million Red Crystals just by sitting there. Many colleagues even tried to worm their way into his good books, hoping to get goods from him. His life was very comfortable.
Stopping for three days meant that he was losing more than a million Red Crystals every day. It was only natural that he felt uncomfortable.
"The interior of the Morality Goods Store has been demolished. The lobby is being rebuilt. They are rushing to finish the carpentry. "
Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, Mother Xu, Xue Linglong, and Huangfujun? Y sat with them. The maid who went next door to check on the situation came back and reported to the three of them about the Morality Goods Store.
"Doing carpentry?" Mother Xu and Xue Linglong looked at each other.
"Rebuilding the lobby?" Huangfujun? Y frowned. He didn't understand what she meant.
Meanwhile, a huge change was happening inside the Morality Grocery Shop. All the display cabinets had been removed. The space where the display cabinets had been placed and the walking space had been emptied. The middle of the lobby had been partitioned. In front of the partition was a row of long cabinets, and the craftsman was in the process of painting them.
On the second floor, a group of Vitality Sect disciples were counting the goods that were about to be sold. Another person was counting on a small black wooden board.
All of them were busy.
Three days later, in the morning, many people gathered outside the Morality Sundry Goods Store.
Daoist Priest Deming appeared with several disciples. With a swoosh, they tore down the curtain that was blocking the entrance of the shop.
The onlookers were all stunned. They saw that the entire balcony of the second floor had been blocked. Countless small black wooden signs were hung on the balcony, with white words written on them. Some of them were spiritual herbs, immortal herbs, core formation, magic treasures, and so on. Each sign had the quantity of an item in stock and the unit price written on it.
The entire Morality Grocery Store's items and their quantity were displayed in front of everyone or passers-by. All the goods in the Morality Grocery Store were clearly visible. If you want to buy something, just look around.
Once you have a good idea of what it is, you can go inside to trade.
The lobby inside had been partitioned and shrunk by more than half. Five employees stood behind a row of counters. Behind the five employees, there were five windows on the hollowed out wall, and there were also people behind them.
The onlookers outside were very curious, and they were discussing among themselves.
Most of them were shocked by the quantity of goods displayed on the countless wooden signs on the second floor. There were so many types, and the quantity was so huge that it shocked the Morality Grocery Store's vast stock.
It couldn't be helped, so Miao Yi had most of the goods in the store multiply by fifty times. Recently, they had gathered quite a lot of goods. Now that they had expanded it by fifty times, he wanted to give everyone a shock.
Shock was a topic of conversation. With a topic of conversation, there would be highlights. With highlights, people would be attracted to the store. With more people, there would be popularity. With popularity, there would be business, and with business, there would be money to be made.
Daoist Yuling and the others were worried that there would be customers buying in bulk, and they would be out of stock.
Miao Yi told them not to worry. He would just say that there were customers in front of them who had bought it. The sign outside wasn't updated in time.
Miao Yi asked them to fake it for half a month or a month, depending on the situation. He wanted to create a huge sensation with the huge quantity of goods. After a while, he would gradually restore the quantity on the sign outside to the real number. This way, they could also fake their sales ability. Once outsiders saw how strong their sales were, they would be able to attract more people to supply them with goods. This way, they would be able to show off their huge replenishment ability.
Miao Yi said, 'We need to let everyone see our store's immense ability to handle goods, and raise the confidence of our customers and suppliers. We need to let everyone know and understand that there is a sundry goods store here, where they can buy and sell everything they want to sell, and that is the Morality Sundry Goods Store!'
"Where's the store's treasure?" One of the five Heavenly Soldiers who had snatched a spot shouted. The Commander was still waiting for them to bring the goods back.
Daoist Priest Deming cupped his fists and said loudly, "My apologies! Because not everyone can forge those accessories. It takes a lot of time to refine them one by one. The store's treasure is temporarily out of stock. When the goods arrive, I will put up a notice to inform everyone. "
He turned to face the crowd and said in a clear voice, "The Morality Grocery Store's goods are in front of everyone. The prices are clearly marked, and we do not cheat anyone. If you want to buy, please come in!"
He then turned around and left, entering the store through the side door.
The five Heavenly Soldiers who had cut the queue immediately looked at each other speechlessly. They had come all the way here for nothing!
Some of the onlookers were curious and tried to enter the store. They wanted to see how the goods here were sold.
The first person to enter the store walked up to the counter and said, "I want to buy a Vitality Reinforcement Pill."
Buying a pill was obviously an attempt.
In the end, the clerk at the front desk pointed at the pile of jade discs on the counter and told him that there was no need to say what he wanted to buy. He could just write it down on the jade discs and pay for it. If he had a storage ring, he could use it to store the items. This way, no one would know what he was buying or selling, and it was extremely confidential.
Naturally, there was no need to keep a Vitality Reinforcement Pill a secret. The person took a jade disc, wrote down what he wanted, handed it to the clerk, and paid for it.
The clerk directly passed the money and the jade disc to the window at the back. After someone inside looked at it, he quickly returned it. At the same time, he also gave the person a Vitality Reinforcement Pill.
The clerk then pointed at a signboard in front of the counter and told him the same content, which was that the money and goods would be counted in person. If there was anything missing after leaving the counter, the Morality Grocery Store would not be responsible.
"Fresh!" The person took a Vitality Reinforcement Pill and walked out. He laughed and said to the crowd, "But it's indeed convenient. This transaction can be completed without saying a word."
After entering the store, there were two rows of benches on both sides of the wall. It was convenient for customers to sit down and rest when there were too many transactions in front of the counter.
The Morality Sect disciple who was guarding outside walked up to the counter and took a signboard from inside. He went outside and invoked his art to remove the Vitality Reinforcement Pill signboard. Then, he hung a new one up.
Everyone outside could clearly see that the number of Vitality Reinforcement Pills on the signboard had decreased by one. It was obvious that the person had bought one just now.
After hanging up the signboard, the disciple turned around and said to the crowd in a clear voice, "When there are too many customers, the signboard will be updated every hour."
When he said this, he was a little nervous and excited. It was the first time he had attracted the attention of so many people.
"Wow!" The crowd was in an uproar again. It could be said that there was a lot of discussion going on. This was very convenient.
Immediately, many people squeezed into the store to have a taste. Many people who did not need to buy anything also ran in to try out the transaction. They were cultivators, after all. Apart from cultivating, they accumulated experience by walking around.
Almost in an instant, the Morality Grocery Store's business skyrocketed to a booming level.
After trying it out, the people realized that this method of transaction was simply too good. If there was a need, they could directly write down the item and pay for it.
Just as the first person who tested the waters said, the transaction was completed from beginning to end without saying a word. If one was willing to take out a Storage Ring to store the item, outsiders would not even know what one had bought. This was simply too good for the confidentiality of cultivators.
With the Morality Grocery Store as the center, news of such a new and convenient method of transaction quickly spread everywhere. Soon enough, the entire Celestial Avenue was shaken. The crowd surged towards this place. It was as if the entire Celestial Avenue was emptied out and gathered at the Morality Grocery Store. The nearby streets were completely packed with people, so packed that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
In the Dingyuan Escort Company next door, Shopkeeper Tu Rensheng stood at the entrance and looked at the crowd before him. He then looked in the direction of the Morality Grocery Store next door, and shook his head at the shop assistant beside him, saying, "This business is truly incredible. This is the first time I've seen something like this. Even if I were to do business with these people who want to try something new, it would still be an incredible amount of income. It's truly amazing to be able to do business to this extent!"
In the back hall of the Morality Grocery Store, Miao Yi and Reverend Yuling stared at the busy disciples in front of them for about two hours. After that, the two of them returned upstairs and stood side by side in front of the window, looking down at the crowd below. Sect Master Yuling shook her head in amazement as well. This was different from selling jewelry before. Back then, most of the people were here to watch the show. This time, most of them were here to try something new. Countless transactions had been delivered to their doorsteps!
"Sir, you are truly a genius in business. It is truly the Morality Sect's fortune to have received your assistance." Sect Master Yuling actually cupped her fists and bowed deeply to Miao Yi.
"Sect Master, there is no need to be so courteous. I also have a twenty percent share in the Morality Grocery Store. I have my own selfish motives as well. I am not worthy of such a grand gesture, Sect Master! Besides, I wasn't confident before this. I was only trying my luck. It's all because of Sect Master's trust in me that you dared to let me try. "Miao Yi quickly stepped forward and supported her with both hands.
