Don’t worry, I’ve already discussed with Mr.

Huang.

He will give me a prominent shelf space!” Wu Xiaoyu still seemed unconcerned.

Zhou Dong saw that he wasn’t nervous at all and was even more baffled.

How could someone be this carefree?

Don’t you care whether the mushroom sauce will be well-received and sells well?

Although the mushroom sauce is selling like hotcakes in town, people in the county haven’t even heard of it.

How can you not be worried?

Looking at Wu Xiaoyu’s calm and unperturbed demeanor, Zhou Dong couldn’t help but ridicule himself.

It’s like the Emperor isn’t anxious, but the eunuch is.

Why am I so worried?

Wu Xiaoyu and Zhou Dong, after having a simple lunch at Jiji, took a car together to the county.

Upon arriving at the county, Zhou Dong went home first, while Wu Xiaoyu went directly to Huarong Supermarket.

By this time, it was already past two in the afternoon, and the supermarket’s customers began to increase.

Following the crowd into the store, Wu Xiaoyu went straight to the condiment section and easily spotted the shelf holding the ‘Fourth Grandma Mushroom Sauce’.

Standing by the shelf, Wu Xiaoyu carefully observed the passing customers.

Most of the elderly took a glance at the mushroom sauce but put it back on the shelf.

Only a few young people noticed the mushroom sauce, gave it a brief glance, and then decisively put it into their shopping baskets.

After nearly half an hour of observation, only two elderly men examined the mushroom sauce carefully before hesitantly putting it into their shopping baskets.

Most of the elders who seemed interested in the mushroom sauce hesitated for a moment before choosing the soybean paste next to it.

Why is this?

Do people prefer soybean paste?

But if that’s the case, why do they still scrutinize my mushroom sauce?

Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped an elderly lady who picked up the mushroom sauce, glanced at it, and then put it back down.

“Ma’am, may I ask if you are interested in this mushroom sauce?” Wu Xiaoyu asked politely.

The elderly lady first looked him over and, seeing he didn’t seem like a bad person, replied, “Young man, I am interested in this mushroom sauce, but…

it’s too expensive!

I’d rather buy some soy sauce and mushrooms to make it myself.”

Make it yourself?

Is that even possible?

Aren’t city people supposed to be rich and generous?

Why are they unwilling to buy even a mushroom sauce?

“But…

the taste of what you make may not be as good as this one,” Wu Xiaoyu hesitated and said.

The elderly lady gave him a proud look and somewhat unhappily said, “Young man, it’s all mushroom sauce.

What’s the difference?”

“This mushroom sauce they sell, each packet is just over 200 grams, but it costs 9.9 yuan even after a discount.

Isn’t that expensive?

I might as well make it myself!”

After saying that, the elderly lady ignored Wu Xiaoyu and took a packet of soybean paste from the shelf, putting it into her shopping basket.

Watching the elderly lady leave, Wu Xiaoyu felt a bit inexplicably wronged.

Ma’am, my mushroom sauce is made from wild fresh mushrooms!

But at least he understood why all these elders wouldn’t buy his mushroom sauce but instead bought the soybean paste next to it.

They thought it was too expensive!

However, you get what you pay for.

Although his mushroom sauce was a bit pricey, the taste was impeccable.

If he wanted these elders to buy his mushroom sauce, discounts alone wouldn’t work.

They needed to know how delicious the mushroom sauce was.

To get someone to spend money, it has to be worth it.

After all, these elders were savvy.

Wu Xiaoyu quickly called Mr.

Huang and told him he wanted to hold a tasting event in the supermarket.

Mr.

Huang couldn’t argue with his explanation and had no choice but to agree.

He arranged for the supermarket’s staff to prepare the necessary tools.

Wu Xiaoyu put on the supermarket’s staff uniform, took six packets of mushroom sauce from the shelf, squeezed them into a bowl, and then took out a large pile of disposable small paper cups to prepare for customer tasting.

As soon as he squeezed the mushroom sauce into the bowl, the fragrant aroma began to spread in the air, attracting the passing customers to gather around.

“Young man, what is this?” an elderly man with reading glasses asked.

Before Wu Xiaoyu could answer, an elderly lady next to him said, “It looks like mushroom sauce.

It smells so good…”

Seeing their praise, Wu Xiaoyu quickly scooped a bit of the mushroom sauce, put it into a paper cup, and handed it to the elderly lady, saying, “Have a taste.

If you like it, you can buy some to take home!”

The elderly lady took the mushroom sauce, scooped some with a small plastic spoon, and put it into her mouth.

Instantly, a rich and savory flavor exploded in her mouth.

“Delicious…

delicious…

Young man, is it really this mushroom sauce?” The elderly lady couldn’t help but praise it and quickly took three packets of mushroom sauce and put them into her shopping basket, leaving with great joy.

The surrounding customers, seeing her exaggerated behavior, couldn’t help but wonder if she was a shill.

Were the two of them putting on a show?

Seeing the suspicious looks from the people around him, Wu Xiaoyu didn’t explain but directly handed out cups of mushroom sauce for tasting.

The skeptical customers reluctantly tried the mushroom sauce, but they couldn’t stop nodding, saying, “Fresh…

so fresh…

Young man, how did you make this?”

“That I can’t tell you.

It’s our trade secret…” Wu Xiaoyu replied mysteriously.

The tasters couldn’t help but laugh at his words and then took two packets of mushroom sauce each, savoring the sample as they left satisfied.

As more customers tried the mushroom sauce and praised it highly, the crowd couldn’t help but line up to taste it for themselves to see what the fuss was about.

Everyone who tried it couldn’t stop and took packets of mushroom sauce from the shelf.

In no time, the full shelf of mushroom sauce was emptied.

Faced with the rush of elders eager to buy the mushroom sauce, Wu Xiaoyu had to hurriedly contact the supermarket’s logistics staff to bring more mushroom sauce over.

Customers from other promotional areas in the supermarket, seeing the crowd in the condiment section, couldn’t help but go over to see what was happening.

When they finally got inside, they found it was a tasting of mushroom sauce and couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, just about to leave.

However, seeing the tasters praising the sauce and taking packets from the shelf, those newcomers couldn’t help but line up, curious to try the mushroom sauce for themselves.

In just over two hours, more than half of the twenty or so boxes of mushroom sauce were sold, leaving only five or six boxes.

The logistics staff, who had made several trips back and forth, directly placed the remaining boxes next to the shelf to save another trip to the storeroom.

Seeing that the mushroom sauce was almost sold out, Wu Xiaoyu thought if he continued the tasting, these remaining boxes might all be eaten up.

Weighing the situation, he had no choice but to regretfully announce that the tasting event was over!
