Chapter 136: Has the store been renovated?
Lin Qingyan continued to spend a few days of leisure.
I didn’t have to work to earn work points in the middle of winter. I would read books with Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan after breakfast every morning.
After lunch, I went to work in the space under the pretext of taking a break, and then took a stroll around Modern to meet Zhou Limei and take a look at the store decoration.
After finishing my meal early in the evening, I took a walk outside the educated youth site, and then went back to the space to read.
A few days passed like this, and Lin Qingyan slowly adapted to this life.
As soon as she arrived in modern times that day, she received a voice message from Zhou Limei.
"Qingyan, our shop has been renovated and is ready to open!" Zhou Limei's excited voice came from the phone.
At this time, Lin Qingyan was preparing to take a stroll as usual. When she heard this message, she was shocked and hurriedly picked up her mobile phone to call Zhou Limei.
"Sister Zhou, is the message you just sent true?"
"The store is ready? Of course it's true. If you're not busy, come and take a look!"
"Okay, Sister Zhou, I'm free now. Please wait for me. I'll be there in about half an hour!"
Lin Qingyan hung up the phone, rode her 28-inch bicycle, and rushed to the store.
When she arrived at the store, there were no messy tools and the store was tidy and clean.
There is a square shelf on one side of the store, which is a bit like the ones in the supermarket, but there seems to be cold air coming up from under the cabinet.
Lin Qingyan took a closer look and found that there was a freezer underneath, which was full of ice.
On the other side of the shop, against the wall, there is a long wooden table with stools at regular intervals.
There are also 2 small round tables, each with 2 chairs.
At the innermost part there was a table with a computer and other office supplies. Lin Qingyan knew that this was the cashier counter.
Further inside are partitions and stairs. Lin Qingyan did not go up to see the rooms upstairs for the time being.
The whole store looks very simple.
Lin Qingyan looked around and hesitated before asking Zhou Limei,
"Sister Zhou, I think our store is a little different from those supermarkets. Are there not enough shelves?"
"There are few shelves! But Qingyan, our store is different from the supermarket. We don't need so many shelves." Zhou Limei looked at the girl in front of her.
Lin Qingyan seemed to understand but didn't quite understand.
She knew that Zhou Limei had said that they were taking the high-end sales route, but she didn't understand how it was done specifically.
"The price of our vegetables is much higher than that of supermarkets and vegetable markets, so most people cannot afford them, which results in low sales.
How much can you provide every day? Please tell me one day in advance. I will post it in the group one day in advance.
Once they have tasted the vegetables here, they will not buy them anywhere else, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to sell the vegetables.
As a result, our vegetables may be in short supply every day."
Hearing this, Lin Qingyan hurriedly said, "If necessary, I can supply more."
Zhou Limei shook her head. "Silly girl, you haven't understood yet. If we want to go the high-end route, we must create a situation where supply exceeds demand. This way, they will be more aggressive in grabbing it, and we can be more relaxed."
Lin Qingyan lowered her head and thought for a while, her eyes gradually brightened, and she said to Zhou Limei excitedly:
"Sister Zhou, I understand what you mean. We just need to provide a certain amount of vegetables every day and set a sales time.
They are worried that they won't be able to buy it, so they come to buy it when the time comes, or even come to buy it in advance.
Then the time we spend in the store every day is greatly reduced, and we can have more time to do our own things without having to be in the store every day."
Zhou Limei gave her a thumbs up and said, "That's the truth."
The two of them went upstairs and took a look. There were two normal rooms upstairs, and there was a bed in each room.
There is also a small living room with a desk, probably to help Tongtong study after school or during holidays.
Lin Qingyan was very satisfied with this desk, as if she could see the days when she and Tongtong studied together.
"Sister Zhou, the shop is ready. When will we open?"
The two of them walked around and came to the first floor, where they sat at a small round table. Lin Qingyan looked at the shop and asked with satisfaction.
"Are the vegetables ready?" Zhou Limei asked.
Lin Qingyan nodded vigorously, "I've been ready for a long time!"
"Fruits and vegetables need to be fresh, you must ensure they are fresh!"
"Sister Zhou, don't worry,"
Zhou Limei was actually still a little worried, but for now she could only trust her. If Lin Qingyan hadn't insisted on paying half of the store's startup capital two days ago, she might have been even more anxious.
"By the way, Qingyan, how do you transport the vegetables here?"
Zhou Limei suddenly remembered a key issue. This girl always brought vegetables to her by carrying a basket on her back.
The amount of vegetables used in this store is significantly different from what she usually uses!
When Lin Qingyan heard this, she froze and looked at Zhou Limei in amazement.
Zhou Limei looked at her with wide eyes, "You, you haven't thought about this issue, have you?"
Lin Qingyan nodded, a little embarrassedly,
"I originally thought of using a bicycle. I could put a frame on each side of the bicycle, and I could carry two frames of vegetables in one trip. Two frames should weigh about 30 to 40 kilograms."
Her voice got lower and lower under Zhou Limei's gaze: "If it really doesn't work, then I'll make two more trips?"
Zhou Limei covered her chest and asked her, "Can electric bicycles enter your house?"
When Lin Qingyan heard this, she was also thinking that the electric vehicle should be able to be put into the space.
So she nodded: "Sister Zhou, the battery car should be OK."
Zhou Limei breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask her: "Can you ride the three-wheeled electric vehicle?"
After asking, Zhou Limei slapped her forehead and said to her: "It seems that you don't know how to ride an electric bike."
Lin Qingyan nodded embarrassedly, and Zhou Limei continued:
"You need a driver's license to ride an electric tricycle, but it's easier to get a tricycle license. It only takes a few days! Why don't you wait until you get the tricycle license before opening the store?"
Lin Qingyan shook her head, "Sister Zhou, please open the store as normal. The New Year is coming soon and we can't waste any more time.
The store will open as normal, and I can just make two more trips on my bike!"
Zhou Limei said to her: "You will be very tired!"
"I'm not tired, sister. I'm very strong, and running twice won't take too long! Just consider it as exercise!"
Zhou Limei looked at her thin body and couldn't understand where her strength came from.
"If you are sure it is okay, then we will open the day after tomorrow?" Zhou Limei looked at her puzzled eyes.
He coughed and continued, "I really can't stand those mothers. They keep urging me every day. They can't wait for the store to open now."
Lin Qingyan smiled when she heard this. Her vegetables were well received even before they were officially sold, which gave her more confidence in the future of the store.
"Okay, then we'll open the day after tomorrow!"
