Chapter 13 The opening of the shop

The tricycle was guided to the vegetable market, it was noon, and there were few people inside. opened the door of the shop, and Li Dong and the owner of the car worked together to move the vegetables in. After paying the fare and leaving the address of Master Wang's house, Li Dong took a ride back home.

"Dongzi, has the business been negotiated?" Lu Xiumei asked anxiously, since she had a shop, she began to suffer from gains and losses.

"Don't worry, Auntie, everything is going well, and I have moved all the vegetables into the store." Li Dong replied with a big grin.

"Really, so fast? Great, then I'll have to get ready and open in the afternoon. With that, Lu Xiumei walked away, probably to choose the clothes to wear when she opened.

Li Dong shook his head helplessly, and went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, he hadn't eaten lunch yet. Fortunately, there is still half a pot of multigrain paste left in the kitchen, which is still hot, it seems that A-Niang specially kept it for herself, and her heart is warm.

"Crackling, crackling......"

In a burst of firecrackers, Li Dong's shop opened, no one sent flower baskets, and no relatives and friends came to congratulate, everything was deserted, only the red confetti dotted with a trace of joy.

Lu Xiumei obviously didn't care too much about these ceremonies, if it weren't for Li Dong's insistence, she wouldn't even be willing to buy the firecrackers. After putting off the firecrackers, the girl immediately rushed out, looking for firecrackers that did not explode in the scraps of paper, which she learned from her third brother during the Chinese New Year.

It's a pity, maybe it's because the quality of the firecrackers is too good, the little girl didn't find one after looking for a long time, and she was pouting and sullen. She didn't want to think about how long the opener cannon was so long during the Chinese New Year, and the firecrackers in her own house were only as long as chopsticks.

Li Dong walked over and picked up the little girl, walked to a shop selling pastries next door, weighed a pound of biscuits, and the little girl became happy, holding the bag with both hands, her smiling eyes narrowed, and she also took a sip on Daguo's face.

If it were usual, Lu Xiumei would have been angry a long time ago, she couldn't even eat enough, and she still wanted to eat snacks? Today may be the big day of the opening, she has a rare generosity, just let the little girl leave a few cookies for her brothers and sisters.

It took more than half an hour for the mother and son to finally put all the vegetables on the shelves. These shelves were ragged goods that Li Dong had picked up from the warehouse of the vegetable market management office, and it didn't cost a lot of money, but it took a lot of effort to repair them.

Lu Xiumei took out the price tags that had been written long ago and pasted them on the shelves one by one, the labels were made of cardboard shells, which were quite neat. Li Dong went to the management office to buy a second-hand scale, and the maintenance of the weighing rod was not bad, but the scale was rusted badly, but fortunately it did not affect the accuracy.

After buying it, Li Dong bought two more long knives and some ropes to tie vegetables. Back at the shop, A-Niang's business has already opened, and a customer has just bought two cabbages.

"A-Niang, where did your name come from?" Li Dong wondered, he didn't remember when A-Niang bought the scale.

"Ask the next door to borrow it, oops, you bought the scale, then I have to pay it back." After saying that, he took the scale and left.

As time passed, gradually, there were more pedestrians in the vegetable market. Lu Xiumei's business is slowly on the right track, because the price is exactly the same as the market price, but it is not as popular as the first few stalls.

"Young man, it turns out that you are here, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I thought you didn't sell vegetables?" This is the aunt who was praised by Li Dong last time, and every time she comes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, she will first look for Li Dongzai's absence.

"It turned out to be you, eldest sister, aren't you going to open a shop, you'll be here in the future, you have to come often." Li Dong said happily, this is a die-hard fan of his own family.

"Okay, eldest sister remembers the location of your house, as long as your house is open, you will never choose the second one." The aunt said magnificently, since listening to Li Dong's words last time, even her daughter-in-law said that she was much younger, and asked herself to maintain the secret recipe. Even the old immortal at home, oops, shame to death......

"Thank you, eldest sister, what are you going to buy today? These are fresh vegetables that I just picked in the morning. Li Dong introduced.

"I'll see, well, then let's have two catties of cabbage, two catties of carrots, and one pound of tomatoes." My aunt originally wanted to buy some green peppers, but she heard that peppers are not good for the skin, so she had to give up in pain.

"Okay, eldest sister, I'll put the vegetables in the basket for you, welcome to come again next time!"

Li Dong enthusiastically sent away the reluctant aunt, a little furious in his heart, looking at the aunt's longing eyes, could it be that the aunt thinks about herself, it is too scary. Li Dong plans to come to the shop less in the future, so as not to be won by the aunt, he never doubts his beauty, but underestimates its fatal attraction, and makes a mistake.

On this moment, many former repeat customers came one after another, Li Dong's was as sweet as ever, everyone was happy to buy, and he was happy to earn.

For a moment, Li Dong felt as if he had returned to the MLM years of his previous life, pointing out the country and inspiring words. Even he came up with the idea of whether to set up a pyramid scheme organization in the last days, which is much faster than selling vegetables to make money.

However, in a blink of an eye, he thought of the accidental death in his previous life, and he immediately dispelled this evil thought. Life is precious, you will always encounter ghosts when you walk too much at night, so it's better to sell vegetables in a down-to-earth manner.

At six o'clock, the younger siblings came back from school, put down their schoolbags and came to the shop to help, which greatly reduced Li Dong's pressure. The whole family is united, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me.

The vegetables were sold until seven o'clock, and it was already dark, and there were few customers in the market. Li Dong calculated the turnover, a total of 55 yuan, not bad, after all, it was only the first day of opening, and there were relatively few repeat customers.

After putting the unsold vegetables back into the bag, Li Dong went to the management office to buy two large boxes. This is a special incubator for anti-freeze, and the price is also very cheap, and it is very common to use in the last days.

The freezer is very light, basically made of a synthetic foam, and Li Dong carried it back to the shop one by one. Put all the vegetables into the freezer, close the lid, and Li Dong also sealed the interface with transparent glue, so that it was absolutely foolproof.

I didn't buy meat when I went home this time, because the stall selling meat had already closed, which disappointed everyone. In the end, it was Lu Xiumei who promised to make a new set of clothes for each of them during the New Year, which made the children happy.

Although the Jiangbei gathering place is a large textile area, ordinary people still can't afford to consume these cotton cloths, which are too expensive. On the market, as far as the eye can see, you can't find a few pieces of clothing without patches, and in ordinary families, clothes are passed down from generation to generation until they can no longer be worn.

Take Li Dong's family as an example, most of Li Dong's clothes were modified by Lu Xiumei with Li's father's old clothes, and the clothes that Li Dong couldn't wear would be worn by the third child, followed by the fourth. The same is true for the women's clothing on Lu Xiumei's side, it may be that women love to be beautiful, at least they will modify it carefully, and they can hardly see the superb craftsmanship.
