Chapter 143 is booming
Lin Qingyan put down the plate in her hand, along with the cute strawberries on it, and walked towards Zhou Limei.
Outside the shop, Zhou Limei was talking to someone.
"There's only one plate of firecrackers. Fireworks are not allowed now, so I didn't bring them to you. There are four flower baskets with different designs. The total is 4 yuan!"
The delivery guy handed over the delivery order.
Zhou Limei paid the money, and she and Lin Qingyan placed the flower basket at the door, and whispered to Lin Qingyan:
"Don't rush to serve them the strawberries. Wait until after the firecrackers are set off, then pour some water and serve the melon seeds and candies you bought earlier."
Lin Qingyan didn't know what her specific considerations were, so she nodded and agreed.
Time passed quickly, and by 10 o'clock, some people came one after another. They were Zhou Limei's friends, or mothers to whom she had delivered food!
There was also a boy in his twenties who saw Zhou Limei and shouted.
"sister!"
"Xiao Lei, now you are here. I will leave the task of setting off the firecrackers to you."
"Okay sister, I promise to complete the task!"
Zhou Limei pointed at the boy and introduced him to Lin Qingyan, "This is my cousin Zhou Lei. I specially called him over to help set off the firecrackers. The two of us girls can't do it well either."
Lin Qingyan smiled and nodded to Zhou Lei, but in fact she wanted to say that she could set off firecrackers.
When the time came, the people who came inside all stood at the door with Zhou Limei and Lin Qingyan. When the firecrackers sounded, the store officially opened.
Zhou Limei winked at Lin Qingyan.
"Everyone, please come in. Today is the opening day, so the specialness of the dishes will not be discounted. No one will be given 2 kilograms of vegetables, and a special gift will be given."
At this time, Lin Qingyan came out with a plate. Everyone saw the white strawberries inside and someone exclaimed.
"You actually got this kind? Is it also specially grown?"
"What kind of product is this? Why haven't I seen it in the supermarket?"
"These are white strawberries. They are more difficult to transport and store than normal strawberries. They are also more expensive and are sold less frequently in supermarkets," a woman explained.
Lin Qingyan put the plate on the table and said to them, "Sisters, try this."
Zhou Limei said to them from the side:
"Don't be disgusted by the small quantity. This is the store's weekly supply. When you leave later, I'll give you one each so you can take it back for your children to try. It's a small quantity, but it's a token of my appreciation."
Seeing that she was keeping the secret again, Hengheng's mother said nothing. She just reached out and picked up the toothpick, forked one and put it in her mouth. When the strawberry reached her mouth, she could smell a light milky fragrance.
When you put it in your mouth, it is much sweeter than normal strawberries, and the most important thing is the milky flavor of the strawberry itself.
She finished one and put another one into her mouth without waiting for others to react.
The people who came with her yesterday did not show any surprise and started eating right away. Some people who were originally reserved could not help but pick up the food and taste it.
"This strawberry is delicious. I want to buy some to bring back for my kids!"
"My old lady loves this sweet thing now. This one is sweet but not greasy. She will definitely like it."
Someone had already stood up and walked towards the shelf. After looking around and not seeing any strawberries on the shelf, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Limei,
"Tongtong's mom, why didn't you put the strawberries on the shelf?"
Zhou Limei smiled and said to them, "Oh, this amount is too little. It's only this much for a week. Qingyan packed a small box for you just now. Take it with you when you leave. This is to thank you for coming today."
"Let's eat some watermelon now!" Zhou Limei said to them when she saw Lin Qingyan bringing out the watermelon.
No one who came yesterday hesitated and all went to get watermelons. After the watermelons were eaten, Zhou Limei accepted several more reservations.
Vegetables in the store are now officially on sale.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you buy it yesterday? Why are you trying to snatch it from us?"
A woman said dissatisfiedly to the person who showed off in the group yesterday.
"Who would complain about having too much of a good thing? I cooked two meals yesterday, and the kids at home weren't picky and even ate an extra bowl of rice!"
"It's the same in my family! Not only the children, but even the old lady enjoyed the meal."
"My old lady said that if I cut off her food supply again, it would mean that I am useless, and if I am useless, I need to be replaced by someone useful!"
“Bah, your old lady is lying on the kang and can’t move, yet you are still so overbearing.”
"That can't be helped. His son and daughter are both successful and earn a lot of money!"
The topic of their conversation became increasingly off-topic, while Zhou Limei kept wandering around the store.
Lin Qingyan was more relaxed. She just sat at the cashier counter to collect money, register the reservations of each sister, and collect money.
As a result, all the vegetables and fruits in the store were sold out before eleven o'clock. I saw a new store opening nearby, so I came to join in the fun and see what was selling, only to find that the things in the other store were already sold out!
When I saw the prices on the shelves, I was even more shocked.
"Boss, are you sure your store sells vegetables?"
Zhou Limei replied with a smile, "Yes, we sell vegetables!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can vegetables be sold so expensively and so quickly? They are not fools! Are you hiring someone to help you?"
Zhou Limei is in a good mood now and doesn't mind what others say.
"I didn't find anyone to help me!"
"Then they are just fools. Sigh, I don't know why we don't encounter these fools in our store!"
He walked out of the store while shaking his head. Now only Lin Qingyan, Zhou Limei, and Zhou Lei who was called over to help were left in the store.
"It was sold out in one hour. It was so fast!"
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhou Limei jumped a few times in the store and laughed happily.
Lin Qingyan was also very happy. During this time, she had already calculated the accounts. Today's turnover was close to 6000 yuan.
There probably won't be that much tomorrow. After all, it was the first day of opening, so she provided more vegetables than usual, and there was also some money from reservations.
Seeing his sister so happy, Zhou Lei also smiled foolishly, but at the moment he was busy cleaning the store.
"Qingyan, can you calculate our turnover today?"
After Zhou Limei was excited, she said to Lin Qingyan who was still sitting at the cash register writing something.
"Sister Zhou, I've already calculated it. Today's turnover is 5986 yuan! Among them, there are pre-orders worth 1000 yuan." Lin Qingyan looked at the notebook in her hand.
"Ah? We actually exceeded our target! This is our one-hour turnover. If we were open for 8 hours a day, how much would we earn?"
Lin Qingyan looked at Zhou Limei who was in a dilemma and said to her with a smile:
"Sister Zhou, do you want to change the way you run your business?"
This sentence made Zhou Limei calm down instantly.
"Oh, I'm almost crazy with joy, but I'm really happy. Xiaolei, don't go home at noon. I'll treat you to a meal. Please help me pick up Tongtong and we'll go to a restaurant today!"
Zhou Limei waved her hand and gave instructions to Zhou Lei who was cleaning.
Zhou Lei is a big boy, but he really doesn't know how to clean. When he heard this, he immediately threw away the broom and ran away.
"Sister. I'm going to pick up Tongtong!"
