Chapter 146 Aunt Wu
Chapter 146 Aunt Wu
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Qingyan went to the wholesale market.
I bought some candies, as well as some white sugar and brown sugar. The New Year is coming soon, so I'll see if I can sell some for Ye Yi and the others.
She went to the second-hand market again and bought some old clothes. Of course, she didn't take all the old clothes. She only looked for those that were at least 7% new.
In the 70s, there were still many people in rural areas who were not well fed and clothed. Now that she has this opportunity, she will definitely try her best to help as many people as possible.
After taking out a large bag of old clothes, Lin Qingyan was ready to go back.
As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she heard her cell phone ringing. She thought it was Zhou Limei calling her, so she took out her phone and saw that it was Aunt Wu who had soy sauce at home.
"Hello, Aunt Wu, what's up?"
"Girl! Are you busy now?"
"Not busy aunt, just getting ready to go home."
"Girl, regarding the vegetables I told you about last time, my daughter-in-law sent someone to the store today, and now all the vegetables are sold out. I didn't know they were limited. Can you help me get some?"
Lin Qingyan looked at Aunt Wu's house not far away and asked, "Aunt, are you home now?"
"Ah? I'm at home now."
"Aunt, I'll come to your house right now, and we'll talk in detail when we meet."
"Oh, okay, Auntie will be right out."
Lin Qingyan hung up the phone, thought for a while, reached into the bamboo basket of the tricycle, and took out half a basket of vegetables from the space.
After riding for two minutes, I arrived at Aunt Wu's house. She was already waiting at the door.
"Girl, you ride a tricycle to town every day?" Aunt Wu looked at her in confusion when she saw her riding a pedal tricycle.
Lin Qingyan smiled and said to her, "I don't know how to use other vehicles, and a bicycle can't carry a lot of things. This tricycle is very practical for me."
"That's right. The tricycle looks old, but it was very useful when there were no other cars. Come on, girl, come in and sit for a while."
Aunt Wu came forward and invited Lin Qingyan to come in and rest.
"No, auntie, there are other things at home. Auntie, the vegetables in Sister Zhou's store are a bit special, and several people took the vegetables to be tested.
Many uncommon trace elements were detected, which caused a small sensation. The supply was insufficient to meet the demand, so we had to limit the quantity. "Lin Qingyan replied with a smile.
"I was wondering what's going on. My daughter-in-law called and said she couldn't buy it at all. She even tried to coax her grandson into buying it for her, but now he's making a fuss. I really have no other choice, so I called you to ask."
"Aunt, the store has now made a reservation plan and you can make a reservation directly. You can ask your daughter-in-law to contact Sister Zhou to make a reservation directly.
Or you can order directly from me. I have some dishes ready for you to take home and eat. I'll give them to you first. Can you just make do with what you have here today?"
Lin Qingyan said as she picked up the bamboo basket on the back of the tricycle, put it on the ground, and pointed at the half basket of vegetables in it.
Aunt Wu heard that she could make reservations from her, so why would she go to any store to make reservations?
"Girl, I'll make the reservation directly with you. When the time comes, I'll send you a WeChat message to make the reservation if you have any dishes."
"Sure, auntie. By the way, auntie, here is half a basket of vegetables. How much do you want?"
Aunt Wu followed Lin Qingyan's gaze and saw the vegetables in the bamboo basket. They were all commonly used vegetables, and there were several varieties. They looked very fresh.
"Girl, if you want all these, will you still have some to eat when you go back?"
Lin Qingyan's smile was very sincere, and she said to her, "Aunt, there are still some vegetables in my vegetable garden. You can just pick them when you go back. If you want these, just take them."
As she spoke, she pointed to the bamboo basket and asked, "Where do you put these vegetables?"
Aunt Wu went to the yard and brought back a basket. Lin Qingyan helped her put the vegetables into the basket.
"How much are these dishes, girl?"
"Aunt, to be honest, I didn't weigh these vegetables, so I don't know how many pounds they are. You can weigh them when you get home and see how many there are. Then just send it to me via WeChat. I have something to do at home, so I'll be back first."
After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she rode away on her bike without waiting for Aunt Wu to react.
It's not that she is generous and doesn't charge money directly, it's that she doesn't know how much is appropriate to charge directly.
If she charged according to the store price, that price was too expensive for her and she was a little embarrassed to accept it. But if she charged less, it would also have a bad impact on the store, so she simply didn't charge her money.
Anyway, Aunt Wu's daughter-in-law has also joined Zhou Limei's store group, so they can ask how much it costs per pound. If they don't pay or pay less this time,
Then next time I ask her to make a reservation, she will have the final say on whether I can get the reservation or not. Besides, she thinks Aunt Wu's family is not short of money and will not be greedy for her little money.
Putting these things behind her, she continued to ride her tricycle up the mountain.
It was already past noon when Lin Qingyan returned to the educated youth center. She got up early this morning and was a little hungry. She went straight to the kitchen to cook some rice.
She went into the space to cook and often went to the modern world. Unknowingly, she had bought a lot of modern items and food, but they were all placed in the space.
She first used the ribs to make soup in the space, and when the soup was almost done, she took out the ribs and put them on a plate for later use.
She put mushrooms picked from the mountains into the pork ribs soup after removing the bones, simmered it for another half an hour, added some vegetables, and then served the bone soup, which would be used to braise the pork ribs.
She cooked the dishes in the space, took them to the educated youth point, and placed them on the dining table before she opened the door and went to the kitchen to get the rice.
As soon as she opened the door and headed for the kitchen, she heard a voice calling her from the yard.
"Qingyan!" She turned around and saw that it was Wang Lanlan, who had just walked in from the gate of the educated youth center.
Lin Qingyan saw her smile and asked, "Why are you here now? Have you eaten?"
"Don't you see what time it is? Who hasn't eaten yet? It's because you're so busy every day that you don't even have a fixed time to eat." Wang Lanlan said cautiously.
Ye Yi, who heard the voices in the house, opened the door and greeted them.
"Wang Lanlan, didn't you say you wouldn't come over this afternoon?"
"I don't plan to come here either. I go to the educated youth camp every day. As my mother said, I don't know what's waiting for me there."
Wang Lanlan felt a little dissatisfied when she thought of what her mother said.
Although she was dissatisfied, she still did not forget the business and said to Lin Qingyan: "Qingyan, there is a letter for you."
