Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Zhou Limei took a deep breath, found her cup, poured herself a glass of water, gulped down a large glass, and then stopped.

He found a table and sat down, motioning Lin Qingyan to come over and sit down.

Lin Qingyan then carefully sat on the stool and smiled at her.

Zhou Limei really didn't want to pay attention to her at this moment. They opened a shop together, but they didn't sell the things. Instead, they kept them at home. Oh! She sighed in her heart!

"Come on, tell me, how much stuff do you have at home that you can sell?" Zhou Limei asked after she felt she had calmed down.

How should Lin Qingyan answer this question? She has a lot of good things in her space, and she doesn't dare to sell them all.

"The vegetables have all been brought here. As for the fruits, some are out of season and were stored away from before. My place is special and the preservation effect is very good."

Lin Qingyan still explained it.

"Then what are the fruits that are not in season?" Zhou Limei said in a flat tone.

"The fruit seeds you helped me buy last time are basically all there. But they are out of season and were stored in a corner. I almost forgot about their existence. Another thing is that they are out of season. It is difficult to explain their origin when I brought them here."

Lin Qingyan still expressed her concerns.

Zhou Limei frowned and thought for a while, then agreed with her words.

"If the quality of these fruits is the same as the ones we brought here, it will be hard to explain their origins, but if they are sold at a lower price, I will be unwilling to accept it."

"You bring some over, and I'll buy some for myself or give them away. The price will be based on the price we agreed on before. Is that okay with you?"

"Sister Zhou, how can I ask you for money? Besides, you and Tongtong can't eat much."

"Tongtong and I can't eat much, but I have relatives and friends. You know what I mean by giving gifts? There are so many aunts and uncles, so I have to accept the money."

Lin Qingyan thought about it and agreed, believing that the advantages of taking money outweighed the disadvantages.

"Then I'll bring some of each when I come tomorrow, and you can give them to Zhou Lei."

Her fresh-keeping room is full. No one but herself dares to eat the out-of-season fruits. There are many left there, and they will probably go bad by next summer.

The two chatted for a while, and some people came to pick up the goods after dropping off their children. Some people also saw the bamboo products that Zhou Limei posted in the group. Lin Qingyan also took them out and placed them in a conspicuous place in the store today.

"This weaving craft of yours looks great. Are you selling it?"

"This is hand-woven and sold for 10 yuan each. Do you want to take one back home for your child?" Lin Qingyan greeted her with a smile.

"Okay, get me one." The woman paid readily.

During this time, a few people bought some. When there were more than 20 left, a woman came in.

Ask Zhou Limei directly: "Boss, where is the handicraft you posted in the group today? Can I see it?"

Zhou Limei asked Lin Qingyan to entertain other customers, and she went to receive this customer who looked very wealthy.

"Please come over here. There are a few of them. Take a look. They are all hand-woven and the materials are very safe."

Zhou Limei took her to the bamboo basket, took one out and handed it to her.

The woman took it and looked at it carefully, then looked at the other shapes in the bamboo basket, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "Are these all? Are there any more?"

"How many do you want?"

"I want 55 of them. My son's birthday is coming up soon, and I'm planning on giving a small gift to the kids in his class. I've been wondering what to give them, but when I saw this I thought it was great. The kids will like it, and I can also create something new among the gifts I can give." The woman said proudly.

Zhou Limei nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Yes, this is a good gift for children. Each bamboo is polished before weaving, so it won't hurt the children.

It’s a bit boring to just order cakes for children’s birthdays nowadays. Giving some small gifts is just right. Although these can be combined into a set, 10 pieces in a set is a bit too much.”

Zhou Limei pretended that 10 was too many, which made the woman next to her eyes light up and asked her, "How about a set of 10?"

"Yes, there are 10 different shapes here, and we can put them in groups of 10. But if we put them in groups of 10, we might add a bamboo basket for easy carrying. We can put the things in the bamboo basket and it will fit perfectly."

"What kind of bamboo basket is it?"

"It's not in the bamboo basket shop. Someone bought it when I brought it here yesterday. I took a photo. Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

Zhou Limei took out the photos she took yesterday from her phone. This was all thanks to her habit of taking photos whenever she saw something new.

"Look at this kind of basket. This original bamboo basket is both safe and environmentally friendly."

The woman took a look and thought for a while. "If there are 55 groups, there will be too many bamboo baskets and it will be difficult to send them to school."

When Zhou Limei heard this, she hurriedly said to her:

"Sending them to school is not a problem. We will deliver it to you when the time comes. You don't have to deliver it to the classroom. You can give it to them directly after school."

"That's right. It's better to send them to the school gate and give them directly after school. There will be many people at the gate, and they will know it's my child who sent them. This is perfect. Then please order 55 sets for me, 10 in each set, plus this bamboo basket."

The woman thought the plan was perfect and she was very satisfied with Zhou Limei's proposal.

Zhou Limei still said to her calmly: "I wonder when your son's birthday is?"

"His birthday is in 10 days, and the school happens to be on winter break that day."

"Ten days later?"

Zhou Limei deliberately raised her voice. Lin Qingyan, who was busy on the other side, heard it and nodded to her. 10 sets in 55 days, 550 pieces in total, 55 pieces a day. Hu Zidie should be willing to work overtime to weave, as he doesn't want to miss this business.

"Yes, after 10 days, will the quantity be enough?" The woman only now remembered whether the time and quantity could be provided.

"It's enough. It can be compiled in 10 days." After getting Lin Qingyan's affirmative answer, Zhou Limei agreed without hesitation.

"Then calculate how much these will cost?"

"This little thing is 10 yuan each, and the bamboo basket is 20 yuan each. If you want 55 sets, I will charge you 100 yuan per set, so the total is 5500 yuan. Is that okay with you?"

Zhou Limei directly decided on behalf of Lin Qingyan to waive the price of the bamboo basket.

"Price is not a problem." The woman paid immediately.

"Please leave your phone number and we will communicate by phone when the delivery is scheduled to be made."

Zhou Limei took out her cell phone and wrote down the woman's phone number.

Lin Qingyan heard their conversation clearly throughout. She couldn't help but sigh that there was really no comparison between the consumption concepts of the 70s and modern times.

She is willing to spend so much money to prepare birthday gifts for her child's classmates. If this kind of behavior happened in her time, she would probably be called a spendthrift woman.
