Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

"Thirty-five yuan a box. There's a promotion this week: if you spend fifty yuan, you get an extra ice cream cone."

Lu Yuan spoke with a smile.

At the same time, he also made sure to explain it to the others briefly.

"These are all clean and high-quality items. Even the freezer is brand new; I bought it yesterday. You can rest assured it's clean and hygienic!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up. She went to the freezer and examined it, seeing this kind of ice cream cone for the first time.

After thinking for a moment, he said...

"Give me another bag of sunflower seeds and chocolate, and the rest of the stuff can be used as tissues."

"Okay!"

Lu Yuan took a plastic bag, packed everything in, and then handed over an ice cream cone.

The woman picked up the ice cream cone, took a bite, and then paused for a moment, stunned.

This taste is incomparable to those old-fashioned popsicles made from sugar water.

This tastes more than just delicious; it's so sweet it warms you to the core, and even the sun seems to cool down considerably.

"Young man, your popsicle tastes really good, would you like to buy it separately?"

"Look at what you're saying. I run a business here, there's nothing you can't buy in this shop. You can come back and buy it after you've finished getting ready at home."

Looking at the other person's large and small bags, Lu Yuan said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, patting his chest to assure them.

Only then did they send the person away.

The next customer was a middle-aged man. His eyes lit up when he saw these things, and he was a little undecided for a moment.

"Boss, could you recommend something that's the best?"

"Brother, it depends on what you're going to use it for."

Lu Yuan, neither humble nor arrogant, asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man seemed a little embarrassed, but under Lu Yuan's warm smile, he became completely at ease and spoke his mind.

"Today is my wife's birthday, and I was thinking of getting her something nice. I heard that your store has particularly good products, so I came here specifically to try it out."

"I see. I recommend this shampoo and soap. They're from Hong Kong and Taiwan and they're really good."

Upon hearing about its usefulness, Lu Yuan immediately had an idea.

When running a business, you can't just focus on your own profits; you need to understand your customers' needs.

Only by satisfying customers can we ensure they continue to sell here.

The middle-aged man picked up a box of soap and smelled it. His eyes lit up as he felt that the scent was very pleasant. He then picked up the shampoo but hesitated.

"What brand of shampoo is this? I've never seen it before."

"Clear, this is the best brand right now. Just trust me, brother. If your wife doesn't like it, I'll give you a refund. Look at this osmanthus scent, lots of ladies like it."

Lu Yuan was well aware of the customers' needs and immediately explained the benefits of his shampoo.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still a little hesitant, he immediately gave him his assurance.

"Brother, just believe what I say. I can't guarantee anything else, but there's one thing: in at most half a month, everyone in Shanghai will be proud to sell my products."

"Fine, I'll buy it just because you said that!"

The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised to hear this.

There are many people in Shanghai who speak with great confidence, but he certainly trusted someone as assertive as Lu Yuan and quickly nodded in agreement.

After seeing off this guest, the next few people were all students.

They clutched their crumpled coins, their mouths watering as they looked at the chocolates on the counter.

Lu Yuan had been too busy to deal with these matters before, but when he finished and found that the children were still there, he smiled and said...

"You can tell me what you want to eat."

"Boss, this chocolate is a bit expensive. I'm reluctant to sell it to you."

There was a little girl with a ponytail, wearing a bright red floral dress, who seemed a little hesitant.

They seem hesitant to make that decision.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled and asked.

Which school do you go to?

"I'm from the Third Middle School nearby, and I'm starting high school today."

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Okay, I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it, I'll give each of you an ice cream cone, how about that?"

"Let me think about it... Okay!"

The girl was taken aback, not expecting Lu Yuan to make such a strange request. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

"How is Mount Tai? What's the next line?"

"The green of Qilu never ends!"

The girl's eyes lit up; this wasn't a story she had just learned, and she quickly and happily answered.

"You're amazing! You answered that right away?"

Lu Yuan looked at her with some surprise and took out an ice cream cone for her.

The children behind him got excited and asked Lu Yuan to give them questions to test him.

Lu Yuan asked questions one by one, and gave each person an ice cream cone as encouragement.

If someone can't answer a question, make a promise with them to study hard and try to answer it next time.

He was just bored and wanted to play with the child.

Who knew that when I was with Sui Tingting near the end of the workday, it was exactly the time when school let out.

Parents rode over on their bicycles, each with a child carrying a schoolbag on their back, running happily towards them.

"Boss, which two ice cream cones?"

"Dad, I want some chocolate, buy it for me right away!"

"Okay, okay."

"The person who got first place in our class today ate a free ice cream cone here. Will I also get first place on the test if I eat one?"

"Give me one of each flavor, I want to take them home!"

Lu Yuan and Sui Tingting hadn't expected to run into this so close to the end of the workday. They looked at each other in bewilderment and quickly became flustered.

These kids can be quite mischievous, but thankfully they're all educated students. They just cause a ruckus, and no one gets impatient.

After taking the items, they all said thank you.

After all that commotion, the two of them didn't get off work until after 7 p.m., and the sun was almost setting.

As Sui Tingting cleaned the house, she looked at the empty freezer and said with great admiration.

"Boss, you're amazing! No matter what you bring out, people are scrambling to buy it."

"That's because it's rare; they've never seen it before. Wait a month or two, and you'll see that business will become less busy."

Lu Yuan tallied it up; they sold a total of over 35,000 today.

Business was much better today than yesterday, totaling over 20,000 yuan. The rest of the money came from the kids after school.

These students came specifically for his ice cream cones, but the parents, seeing everything in the store, liked to buy some to take away, which satisfied their cravings.

Upon hearing this, Sui Tingting nodded repeatedly.

"What the boss said makes so much sense. I will definitely study hard."
