Chapter 441: Chapter 157: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (44)

Chi Yun’er was all about efficiency. By the time the employees’ half-month training was over, all the shops were fully renovated, and she had even secured contracts with the manufacturers.

With a wave of her hand, all the employees took their positions and began their busy and exciting new jobs.

Shengshi Street had already built a good reputation, becoming a must-visit weekend spot for dating couples. Many children were even motivated to study hard with a trip here as their goal.

Snacks like cotton candy, candied haws, malt candy, roasted chestnuts, and popcorn were children’s favorites.

Not to mention the pastry shops at both ends of the street, filling half the block with an intoxicating, milky aroma...

So, when the other three streets opened simultaneously, it seemed like half the Capital City knew about it.

To prevent dangerous overcrowding from the initial hype, Chi Yun’er and her team decided not to open on a weekend. Instead, they chose a Monday, giving everyone a week-long cooling-off period.

Shengshi Street, Shengyi Street, Entertainment Street, and Shengli Street were collectively known as the Sisheng Streets.

Anyone who ventured in found themselves wishing they could empty their pockets and never leave.

On Monday, adults were at work and children were at school. But there were still plenty of others: young people from well-off families who were currently unemployed, housewives, retirees watching their grandchildren, and local residents!

Unable to contain their curiosity, they rushed over first thing in the morning.

Shengshi Street was open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, operating for fourteen hours with employees working in two shifts.

Just as dawn broke and the city slowly began to stretch and awaken in the morning light, the aroma from Shengshi Street would start to drift through the air, tempting passersby who couldn’t help but step inside.

The variety of food was immense. People could eat something different every day, and it was all clean, hygienic, nutritious, healthy, and authentic. Once they fell down the rabbit hole of good food, they found their money disappearing faster as well.

After the working crowd left, the leisurely bunch arrived. They would first stroll through the food street, then check out the novelties at the bookstore, stationery shop, library, movie theater, and video store.

When morning passed, they would return to Shengshi Street for a delicious meal before moving on to Shengyi Street. The dazzling array of clothes there made it impossible for anyone to hold on to their wallets.

’This fabric is so comfortable. The style of that one is gorgeous. Ah, the color of that dress on the wall is absolutely perfect for me...’

The men could mostly restrain themselves, but the women went absolutely wild.

They worked so hard, only to come home to chores and children. They scrimped and saved for their husbands and kids, yet in the end, they were the ones who felt unappreciated.

The frustrations of their trivial, everyday lives were now in a tug-of-war with the impulse to spend money on themselves.

The salespeople were also skilled in their persuasion. "Ma’am, we all live here in the Capital City. When friends or family get married or have children, we need to look presentable, don’t we?"

"We aren’t children whose clothes will be too small next year. A good quality garment, if you take care of it, will last you eight or ten years with our shop’s quality and craftsmanship."

"When you calculate it that way, the cost per year is less than a dollar."

"When it comes to clothes, it’s about quality, not quantity. Don’t you agree?"

The salespeople were silver-tongued, with a whole playbook of persuasive lines. They had also studied how to dress well themselves. Regardless of their looks, their fashion sense had to be on point.

That was the only way to get customers to confidently trust their judgment.

The customers who stepped inside already had some intention to buy. Now that the salespeople had hit a soft spot, how could they possibly resist?

Buy!
