Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 144 Successful opening

The newly opened store this morning closed for business before noon, sparking heated discussions among nearby stores.

"Does the owner of this newly opened store have a mine at home?"

"How to say?"

"There must be a mine, otherwise which family could afford her to operate like this? She only opened the business for half a day and then she locked the door and left."

"This boss is a bit willful! He didn't go through any beatings."

"Does she think opening a store is fun? Just wait, reality will defeat her fantasy sooner or later!"

"Lao Liu, go in and take a look. What does this store sell?"

"Can't you see what they're selling? They have the store name!"

"Qingtong Shop? Who can tell what they sell with this name?"

"If you're buying vegetables and fruits, you can look in through the glass outside and see them."

"I don't see any vegetables or fruits in the store either?"

"The boss said they're sold out!"

"Ah? This boss is not only willful, but also pretty awesome!"

Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei, unaware that they were being talked about by others, took Tongtong and her cousin Zhou Lei to find a food stall with a lot of people.

"Xiao Lei, are you sure you want to eat at this restaurant?" Zhou Limei looked at the small shop and asked Zhou Lei with a skeptical attitude.

"Sister, don't be fooled by the small size of the store, but the boss's food is delicious. Don't you see so many people lining up?"

Lin Qingyan held Tongtong's hand, and they whispered something to each other. They didn't care at all what to eat. As long as there was something to eat, it was fine.

Tongtong hadn't seen Lin Qingyan for a long time. Now she was sticking to her and telling her interesting things about school. Lin Qingyan listened quietly and interacted with her from time to time.

Zhou Limei eventually joined a food stall.

"Boss, give me a clay pot chicken. There are two pancakes on top. Don't let them get soaked in the soup. Children can't eat spicy food!"

Zhou Lei ordered a dish without waiting for Zhou Limei's response.

Then he handed the menu to Zhou Limei and said to her with a smile, "Sister, their clay pot chicken is delicious, especially the pancake on top of the iron pot chicken, which is very chewy. You can order the other dishes."

Zhou Limei took the menu and asked Lin Qingyan again, "Qingyan, what do you want to eat?"

Tongtong was whispering something in her ear. Lin Qingyan was smiling and listening very seriously. When she heard Zhou Limei's question,

He looked up and said with a smile, "Sister Zhou, you know, I'm not picky, I eat everything."

After saying that, he lowered his head and chatted with Tongtong again.

Zhou Limei looked at the two people, one adult and one child, whispering across from her, shook her head helplessly, and ordered three more dishes.

She turned to Zhou Lei and asked, "Xiao Lei, how is your internship going?"

"The internship was pretty good, and the people in the company were very caring towards us recent graduates." Zhou Lei said while holding his cell phone.

"There's no bullying of newcomers?" Zhou Limei was a little unconvinced.

"Sister, that depends on how you think. Sometimes you feel differently depending on your thinking direction.

If seniors ask you to serve tea, print documents, etc., it is considered bullying, then it is definitely there.

But the seniors usually take good care of me, and never forget to give me delicious food and drinks. "Zhou Lei looks like a child, but he is actually quite mature.

Zhou Limei felt relieved to see him like this. "If you can think this way, your uncle and aunt will also feel relieved. They were worried that you would not adapt well there."

Zhou Lei thought of his parents and said speechlessly:

"My parents are worrying about nothing. When I work outside, I can't be like at home, where the whole family will give in to me. Why should others give in to me outside? As long as I don't do anything excessive, it's fine."

Zhou Limei nodded and gave another instruction:

"If someone goes too far, don't be afraid of him. We don't bully others, but we're not afraid of them either."

"I know, sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and ordinary people can't bully me."

Lin Qingyan, who had been talking to Tongtong, finally looked up and took a serious look at Zhou Lei after hearing this.

After thinking for a while, he gently pointed at Zhou Lei and said to Zhou Limei, "Bring some more peaches or strawberries tomorrow and let him give them to his colleagues to try?"

Zhou Limei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she agreed to Lin Qingyan's proposal:

"Let's go with peaches. There are too few strawberries. If they can't buy any in the future, it will embarrass Xiaolei."

Zhou Lei looked at them both in confusion, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

"It's okay. Go to my shop at noon tomorrow and I'll leave some delicious food for you. You can bring it to your colleagues to taste."

"What's delicious?"

"If you don't have any peaches today, come to the store tomorrow and I'll bring you some."

Tongtong, who had been pestering Lin Qingyan since she came here, brightened her eyes when she heard Taozi's words and said to Zhou Limei:

"Mom, mom, Tongtong also wants to eat peaches. These are the peaches that Sister Qingyan brought over."

Zhou Limei smiled and pinched her cheeks, "How could mom forget our Tongtong? Don't worry, Sister Qingyan will keep it for you."

Tongtong was even happier to hear this.

The meal was eaten quickly. After they finished eating, Zhou Lei sent Tongtong to school and went to work. Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei came to the store.

"Sister Zhou, can you deliver tomorrow's vegetables according to the quantity we agreed on before?" Lin Qingyan looked at the empty shop and wanted to fill it up.

"Yes, just deliver it according to the quantity we agreed on before. Don't deliver it tonight. Just deliver it tomorrow morning.

Our store will open after 8 o'clock in the future. I have also told those mothers in the group that they just happened to come to buy groceries after sending their children to school, so the time is just right. "

Zhou Limei was in a good mood as she looked at the clean and tidy shop.

After agreeing on a time, Lin Qingyan rode her bike back.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Qingyan went up the mountain to visit Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, brought them some daily necessities, and secretly added a little space water to their water tanks.

She accompanied the old couple to water the vegetables in the greenhouse. She secretly added some ingredients to the vegetables, so that the vegetables in the greenhouse grew very well. Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were very happy.

After spending some time with the two old men, Lin Qingyan hurried down the mountain before dark.

As soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I met a couple who were taking a walk outside.

Seeing Lin Qingyan riding a bicycle passing by, he shouted to her: "Little girl, little girl!"

Lin Qingyan was thinking about something and didn't pay much attention to the shouting at first. Only when she heard the voices getting more urgent and louder did she stop the car and turn around to look.

It turned out to be a couple who made soy sauce not far from the abandoned yard. She smiled and greeted them.

"Hello, uncle and aunt!"

The couple, the man's surname is Zhang and the woman's surname is Wu, their family owns a well-known seasoning company.

But now the son is running the business. The old couple are retired and at home, they will brew some soy sauce when they have nothing to do.

"Little girl, we've been looking for you for a few days, but we don't have your contact information and we can't find you."

After Ms. Wu finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and said to Lin Qingyan, "Girl, come on, add WeChat."

Lin Qingyan silently took out her phone and added her on WeChat.

Then I asked her, "Aunt, do you have something to ask me?"
