Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 174 How to Keep Vegetables Fresh (Additional Update 1)

Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei were busy for more than an hour, and before ten o'clock, all the vegetables and fruits in the store had been picked up.

"Here, this is the reservation quantity for tomorrow." Zhou Limei handed Lin Qingyan a piece of paper with the total quantity required for each dish written on it.

The next one shows which people have reserved which products and how much they paid. Lin Qingyan opened her mouth wide when she saw this reservation list and asked excitedly:

"Sister Zhou, are they still so enthusiastic about buying groceries?"

"Our dishes are worthy of their enthusiasm, Qingyan, you haven't been here recently, so you don't know how exaggerated they are. Those who bought the dishes show off in the group every day, which irritates those who didn't buy any.

Those who haven’t bought it should try their best to reserve it, but we only have so much each day, so there are always some people who can’t buy it, so the group is very lively every day. ”

Zhou Limei was very happy when she talked about these things. How could she not be happy? The first half of the year was a huge blow to her, and she also experienced a divorce. She was holding her breath and wanted to build a career so that she could hold her head up in front of her relatives and friends, and no one would look at her with sympathy.

Divorced at a young age, unemployed and with a child, she wanted to prove that she was living a good life and didn't need their sympathy.

"Our dishes have received good feedback?" Lin Qingyan really didn't hear much feedback.

"Yes, especially for families with children. These children are usually picky about food, but they are not picky about our vegetables. They will eat everything.

This causes their mothers or grandmothers to closely monitor the orders every day. Then they tell their relatives and friends, and more people know about our store.”

Zhou Limei was very pleased. Fortunately, they launched a pre-order sales model, otherwise people would be crowding in the store every day to grab food, which would be a bit scary.

"Then if our store is closed during the Spring Festival, will they make trouble?" Lin Qingyan suddenly became a little worried.

Zhou Limei was also excited, and said with a headache: "I don't dare to tell them about the store plan for the Spring Festival. It would be great if we could think of a way to have the best of both worlds."

"There are only 20 days left until the Chinese New Year. We need to think of a solution. I'll check online how to preserve vegetables."

Lin Qingyan took out her cell phone and checked online with Zhou Limei.

However, fresh vegetables can only be kept fresh for a week at most. No matter if they are kept in plastic bags or something else, they can only be kept fresh for about a week. However, things like winter melon and pumpkin can be kept for a long time.

The two searched for a long time but could not find any good solution. "Sister Zhou, here is some information that says that vegetables in supermarkets in Iceland are sold in bags."

Zhou Limei took Lin Qingyan's phone, and the two of them stared at the page carefully, and finally sighed:

"This preservation method is suitable for places where there are no vegetables. We still like to eat fresh vegetables in China, but this is also a method for preserving vegetables at home.

I informed the store about the rest plan in the group ten days in advance, asking them to plan ahead and store some vegetables for the children or those in need. It is unlikely that the whole family will eat them. "

"Then let's supply more food in the days before the New Year!" Lin Qingyan also decided to give some benefits to the store's loyal customers.

"Can you supply it?" Zhou Limei stared at Lin Qingyan, waiting for her reply.

Lin Qingyan nodded, "I've been working harder lately, so it should be possible."

Zhou Limei went forward and hugged Lin Qingyan directly, "Qingyan, I thank you on their behalf."

After sighing, she wanted to drive Lin Qingyan back again, "Do you want to go back and grow vegetables?"

Lin Qingyan looked at her dimly, "Sister Zhou, I still have to go pick up Tongtong!"

Zhou Limei quickly checked the time and pulled Lin Qingyan to leave.

"It's half past ten. We can go to Tongtong's school gate in advance and wait for her to see if we can sell some of these little gadgets."

"Sister Zhou, don't get excited. The baskets are at the cashier counter and you haven't taken them yet." Lin Qingyan walked to the cashier counter and took out two baskets.

"Next time, we can put these little things in a conspicuous place in the store, just in case some of these customers like them."

Zhou Limei felt that her idea was right, and silently gave herself a thumbs up. Then she and Lin Qingyan went to Tongtong's school in advance.

When they arrived, there were already parents waiting at the school gate. First graders finish school at 11 o'clock, and this time it was 10:40, so some parents arrived 20 minutes in advance.

After getting off the bus, the two people carried a basket and walked towards the school gate, where there were people. They did not ask others if they wanted the products. The bamboo products were in the basket and could be seen by standing by.

The two of them were standing there chatting, and sure enough, a parent came up and asked, "Excuse me, where did you buy these things? They look so cute."

Lin Qingyan glanced at Zhou Limei, but Zhou Limei motioned for her to speak for herself.

So Lin Qingyan smiled and replied to her: "This is what my uncle made up and he was going to give it to her child."

As he spoke, he pointed at Zhou Limei, who smiled and nodded at the woman.

"You have so many? How many children does she have?" The woman also looked at Zhou Limei and asked Lin Qingyan.

Zhou Limei smiled and said to her, "I only have one child."

"Then you can sell this to me. She only has one child and he can't play with so many things." The woman enthusiastically asked Lin Qingyan to sell it to her.

"Sister, there are only 10 in total in these two baskets. My uncle made them very carefully. Each one has a different shape. I don't know which one the child likes yet, so I'm going to give them to her."

Lin Qingyan suddenly had an idea. Could these 10 pieces of different shapes be sold as a group?

"Little sister, sell one to me first, and next time you can ask your uncle to weave it for her child. You two know each other anyway, so you can just give it to me next time."

The woman gave Lin Qingyan some advice.

Lin Qingyan pretended to be troubled and looked at Zhou Limei, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

Zhou Limei almost laughed at her expression. She didn't realize that this girl had a talent for acting.

The voices they spoke were quite loud, attracting some people's attention. The Chinese people's love of excitement was immediately revealed, and soon several people gathered around, which scared Lin Qingyan. Looking at the several woven items in the bamboo basket, she could only quit while she was ahead.

"Sister, then I'll give one to her? I'll bring it to you next time I come over?" Lin Qingyan looked at Zhou Limei.

Zhou Limei is considered a celebrity in this area. After all, many people have joined her WeChat group directly or indirectly.

"Oh, it's Boss Zhou. I can never get the vegetables from your store, so please give me some of this little thing so I can take it home to comfort my child."

Another woman who had just come over looked at Zhou Limei and greeted her enthusiastically.
