From Taobao intern to the father of Pinduoduo

Chapter 85 The Exhibition Begins

On February 1st, Chen Xiaojun went to the temple fair with his parents.

At the temple fair, the Buddha's light shone brightly, and the architecture was magnificent. My parents spent money and offered incense at the main temple, and bowed three times devoutly before the Buddha, silently reciting their wishes.

Chen Xiaojun seemed to understand, but closed his eyes and bowed three times as well, silently praying: "I hope I can get 100 points on the exam."

Beside the prayer cushion in front of the Buddha statue, an orange cat was curled up and dozing off.

"Hey? Look at that cat!"

Many people noticed this amusing scene and took out their cameras to take pictures of the cat.

"Mommy, kitty!" Chen Xiaojun loved the cat so much that he reached out to grab it and play with it.

His mother quickly pulled him back, saying, "Little dumpling, be good, that's someone else's cat."

The cat seemed disturbed by the noise, stood up, shook itself, and with elegant cat steps, quickly ran towards a grove of trees.

After visiting the temple fair, the family of three strolled leisurely home.

After passing through a long bluestone corridor, Chen Xiaojun saw a display stand ahead, with many snacks scattered on it, and an electronic loudspeaker blaring: "Free samples! Free samples!"

"Tmall is having a promotion! Get two New Year's gift packs for only 99 yuan!"

"Fresh buffalo milk, incredibly delicious, free samples available!"

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Xiaojun was completely rooted to the spot.

The parents exchanged a knowing smile, fully aware of what the little brat was up to.

Chen Xiaojun first ran to his father, tugged at his clothes and said, "Dad, let's buy some snacks to take back to Grandma."

His father smiled and patted his head, saying, "Grandma is old, her teeth are almost all gone, she can't eat snacks anymore."

"Then let's buy really soft snacks!" Chen Xiaojun said innocently.

His father, wanting to tease him, deliberately said, "Grandma doesn't like very soft snacks."

Finding no way to get through to his father, the little boy turned and hugged his mother's leg, whining, "Mommy, you're the best mommy, you're the most beautiful mommy! Mommy, I love you so much!"

The parents were amused and couldn't stop laughing. The mother took his little hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's try it first and see if it's good. If it is, then we'll buy more."

Chen Xiaojun held his mother's hand tightly and nodded vigorously: "Yes, if it doesn't taste good, we won't buy it!"

A family of three arrived at a booth selling beef jerky, which was already surrounded by many people trying the samples.

Upon seeing new visitors, the exhibition organizer personally stepped forward to greet them, enthusiastically saying, "Would you like to try some authentic Inner Mongolian beef jerky? It's air-dried beef jerky, very delicious, and good for your health!"

The owner was holding a basin with small pieces of beef jerky stuck in it with toothpicks.

The father first took a toothpick, picked up a piece of beef jerky, and took a bite. He was greatly amazed by the chewiness and aroma of the beef jerky.

He had lived a frugal life since childhood and had never eaten such authentic beef jerky before. His understanding of beef jerky was still limited to cheap beef cubes.

At that moment, this beef jerky opened up a whole new world for him.

He exclaimed repeatedly, "This is delicious! Honey, have a bite!"

His wife also tried a piece and nodded in approval: "Mmm, it's really delicious. Boss, how much is it per pound?"

The shopkeeper replied with a grin, "80 yuan per jin."

The couple clicked their tongues in unison.

Keep in mind that their monthly salary is only around 1500 yuan, and this pound of beef jerky is almost equivalent to two days' income for them.

The man in charge was in a dilemma; he wanted to buy it but thought it was too expensive. He couldn't help but say, "Is your beef jerky made of gold? It's so expensive!"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner's heart skipped a beat. He had originally wanted to emphasize that this was a specialty of Inner Mongolia, and the shipping costs alone had cost a lot of money. In addition, with the exhibition fees, he would not be able to break even if he did not sell it at a higher price.

But then he remembered the instructions from the star salesperson "Dayan": to put yourself in the customer's shoes, tell them stories, and help them find specific application scenarios.

Then the boss changed the subject and explained with a smile, "This is authentic Inner Mongolian yellow beef, slowly dried with pine wood."

"We Inner Mongolians only bring out this kind of beef jerky when entertaining distinguished guests."

"If you buy these, the three of you can enjoy them as afternoon tea snacks for a long time."

"Moreover, we have very nice packaging with a price tag of 128 yuan. You can use it as a New Year's gift; it's both impressive and practical."

The boss's words hit the male homeowner's needs perfectly.

Next, they will be visiting many relatives and are worried about what to give as New Year's gifts. Giving this as a gift would be absolutely impeccable.

On the other hand, the woman was also persuaded; she was touched by the scene of "the family of three having afternoon tea together."

When she was a child, she had heard people say that city people had the habit of drinking afternoon tea, and at that time she equated afternoon tea with a refined city life.

But after she grew up and got married, she was busy with the daily grind and never experienced afternoon tea. The shop owner's words instantly awakened that little longing in her heart.

The woman tugged at her husband's arm and said, "Honey, have some."

The husband nodded: "Okay, then we'll get two packs, one as a gift and one for ourselves."

Just then, a voice, trembling with tears, came from the side: "Mommy, Daddy, I want to eat too! I want to eat too!"

The group burst into laughter. The shop owner quickly squatted down, took a few toothpicks, and handed them to the child, saying, "Little friend, you can eat as much as you want; these are all yours."

The shop owner quickly packed two bags of beef jerky. As the couple took them, they noticed a bread stall in front of them was extremely popular and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is some celebrity doing an autograph session over there? There are so many people."

The shop owner laughed and replied, "She's not a celebrity, she's an internet celebrity. Xiaoyue Cuisine works as customer service over there. If you want an autograph or a photo, you can go over there and queue up."

"Oh! Xiaoyue's Cuisine!" The man exclaimed in realization. "Her original name was Little Sheep's Cuisine, right?" He was also a loyal user of Tudou.com, and he had watched that bread video that made it to the homepage recommendation several times. Coincidentally, his wife was also a fan of Xiaoyue's Cuisine.

The man turned to his wife, smiling, and asked, "Honey, shall we go join the fun?"

The wife immediately nodded: "Let's go!"

……

Let's rewind a few hours.

Lin Hai, the owner of the denim store, was tidying up his booth, placing newly selected products on it, including buffalo milk that had been newly developed by the Agricultural Machinery Research Institute.

Buffalo milk and regular cow milk have completely different tastes. One is thick and rich, while the other is smooth and mellow. The feeling of drinking it is like a piece of the finest silk gently gliding on the tongue.

Moreover, its milk flavor is much milder than that of regular milk, which suits the tastes of many people who can't stand the fishy smell of milk.

Lin Hai also brought several employees to help. After they arranged the products neatly, tourists quickly flocked over.

Lin Hai picked up the electronic megaphone and shouted loudly, "Milk, milk! Super delicious milk! It will help children grow taller and make women more beautiful! The Agricultural Machinery Institute's latest water buffalo milk is available for free tasting!"
