After relying on the motherland, my supermarket has become more and more prosperous.

Chapter 219: The Scattered Mermaids

Compared to the one and a half hours it took to receive a group of guests in the morning.

The guests we received in the afternoon were served much faster.

It takes at most half an hour from entering the supermarket door to walking out with the things on my back.

As expected of the training by the mermaid chief, it directly saved a lot of useless details.

The most important thing is that we receive one batch of such guests after another.

Starting from one o'clock in the afternoon, Ruoshui would lead a group of mermaids over almost every hour.

After the mermaid sold the things and left, the free time was just right for Jiang Wanwan to take a break.

At this moment, there are still two minutes to four o'clock in the afternoon.

Ruoshui had already brought the fourth batch of mermaids this afternoon and appeared at the entrance of the supermarket.

"Jiang Wanwan, I'm here!" It was still that familiar voice, still so enthusiastic and energetic.

Jiang Wanwan also showed a sincere smile and stood up to receive them.

Practice makes perfect in everything.

With repeated experiences, Jiang Wanwan and Ruoshui now have a very good understanding of each other.

The transaction with this group of mermaids was completed smoothly.

However, Jiang Wanwan was happy but also a little confused.

The previous batches of mermaids that Ruoshui brought were all in groups of ten families!

How come this time the mermaid has twelve families?

Later, Ruoshui's words before leaving answered her question.

"Well, most of the mermaids in the tribe have been sent to you. You don't need me to lead the way anymore!"

what?

You mean there's no need to lead the way? Does that mean there are only so many mermaid guests?

So this is the last batch of guests, so there are two more families!

However, although each of these mermaids is very rich, aren’t their numbers too few?

All together, there are only fifty-two families, including the Ruoshui and Chihua families.

Since the mermaids are all straightforward, Jiang Wanwan asked directly.

"I heard from your mother before that there were about a thousand people in your tribe. Now there are only one or two hundred mermaids, right?"

Ruoshui shrugged helplessly and said, "There are a thousand people in my tribe, but half of them are very old and like to travel around, so we don't see each other for many years."

"There are still some single mermaids left. They like to find a place to live alone and only return to the tribe once every ten days or half a month. When they come back and find out about you, they will naturally come to find you."

"The only ones left who have formed families, have cubs, and enjoy living together in the tribe are the ones you met today."

Jiang Wanwan's eyes widened after hearing these words. This is too... democratic!

The tribe was not large to begin with, so why were the people dispersed so far apart?

This is not good news for Jiang Wanwan, as the number of potential customers has been reduced by half.

It’s not so bad. Compared to other worlds where people bring staple food, this world brings snacks.

I think snacks should be consumed faster than staple foods, right?

At this time, Ruoshui spoke again.

"Luckily, I was quick this afternoon and brought all the tribesmen here before the twilight hour. I finally accomplished what Mother requested."

It is an established fact that there are few customers in this world, and Jiang Wanwan has no way to change it.

So, after a little worry, I let it go for the time being.

What Jiang Wanwan was more curious about now was another thing in Ruoshui's words.

"Why before the twilight hour?"

If Jiang Wanwan remembered correctly, before Youshi was before 5 pm.

She asked Ruoshui why she was running so fast in the afternoon. It turned out she was in a hurry!

But why?

Is there something strange about the mermaids, such as being able to transform after 5 pm?

"Because mother said that the You hour is when you humans have dinner, and after dinner it's time to go to bed. Going to someone else's house at this time is very impolite."

Jiang Wanwan had a feeling that this was how it was, yet it was also outrageous.

She believed that Fu Yu must have been to land and had contact with humans.

But that should have been a long time ago, and the contact time was not long.

Otherwise, how could she know human etiquette so clearly yet so rigidly, giving the impression of trying to draw a tiger but ending up with a dog?

I remember the time for three meals a day very clearly, but how come I don’t know the difference between a home and a shop?

When you open your business, there is no reason not to receive customers during meal times. If necessary, it is normal to have your door knocked in the middle of the night.

Jiang Wanwan smiled helplessly and was about to speak up to correct their misunderstanding.

However, on second thought, I felt that there seemed to be no need to correct it!

If there are too many guests, it is normal to occupy the meal time, such as in the world of martial arts.

But there are so few visitors in the underwater world, wouldn’t it be more convenient to concentrate them together?

Anyway, these mermaids don’t have any pressure to survive, so it doesn’t matter if they come to the supermarket at any time.

In this way, you can open late and close early, and even take a short nap at noon. Isn’t it great!

It also creates favorable living conditions for the incoming new store employees.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan immediately changed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Then Ruoshui thank your mother for thinking so much about me."

"Okay, I'll pass it on!" Ruoshui nodded happily, as if she was the one being thanked.

Then, he looked at Jiang Wanwan and asked curiously.

"So you humans really need to eat three meals a day and sleep for such a long time every day!"

This was the truth. Jiang Wanwan nodded and asked curiously, "Aren't you mermaids?"

"No, we mermaids only need to eat one meal a day, and as long as we get enough sleep, we can go without sleep for two or three days." Ruoshui answered with her head raised.

"That's amazing!" Jiang Wanwan gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

If humans could evolve to this level, it would be a blessing for the vast majority of unscrupulous bosses!

If you think about it carefully, this mode of survival is not a good thing for the mermaids themselves!

They already have a long lifespan, but are confined to a corner of the ocean, only eat one meal a day, and can go for long periods of time without sleep.

How boring it would be to have such a long and idle time!

No wonder these mermaids were so happy when Jiang Wanwan brought some snacks over!
