Volume 1 Spring Chapter 11 Corolla
Bai Xue's departure hit Feng Chunxi very hard, because she was the only friend who had the same memories as herself and could talk about everything. Now there is no one who can help me look after the store, and it is inconvenient to go out to run errands. Perhaps, it's time to consider hiring a full-fledged clerk, Feng Chunxi thought.
Lu Tianyue occasionally comes to Chunxi Gardening Shop once or twice a week, but not as often as before, Bai Xue is not there, and she will be a little embarrassed to be alone with Feng Chunxi as a girl. Lemon is okay, she can still pet the cat, Lemon is not there, the two of them really don't have much to talk about.
As May approaches, spring rains become more frequent. Feng Chunxi often looked at the rain outside the window alone in a daze, and Lemon also seemed to feel the sadness of parting, and often didn't go out much for a few days, just lying in the store, not knowing if it was missing Bai Xue or its little owner Xiao Luo.
"Chunxi, do you have an umbrella here?" Ma Jing walked into the store, and her T-shirt was already soaked in the rain.
Chunxi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Yes, it rains so heavily and the wind is also very strong." Are you going out? ”
Ma Jing brushed her hair with her hands, trying to squeeze the rain out: "The rain is too big to find an errand master, and there is a guest who has ordered roses that must be delivered, so I have to go by myself." ”
"How do you get there? It seems that the car is also difficult to hit. Feng Chunxi asked.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, this soft girl showed a resolute expression on her face, and Feng Chunxi looked a little distressed and respectful.
"Give me the address, and I'll go for you." With that, Feng Chunxi got up and went to the cabinet to dig out his raincoat.
"But how do you get there?"
"I have a car, and the three-wheeled tram is sometimes more convenient than the proud one." Feng Chunxi joked.
"It's raining a lot, so you'll get wet, and this guest is going to propose to his girlfriend today, so there can't be a problem with the flowers." Ma Jing asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, my raincoat and rain boots will protect me, your flowers can be placed in the wooden box I purchased, and then covered with plastic sheeting, no problem."
Ma Jing hesitated for a moment, but still agreed with Feng Chunxi's suggestion. Guests have ordered 33 Corolla roses, decorated with a few eucalyptus trees, tied up in white flower paper, simple and romantic. After Ma Jing wrapped the bouquet in a plastic bag, he put it into the wooden box with Feng Chunxi, and Feng Chunxi covered the wooden box with a plastic sheet, and then drove his electric tricycle to set off. The place where the flowers were sent was a nearby hotel, Feng Chunxi couldn't help but sigh, what a young man now!
finally sent the flowers to the location, but Feng Chunxi made a difficulty. He couldn't carry the whole box to the hotel, but if he took it out, the distance of more than ten meters would be enough to get the flowers wet. He had no choice but to take off his raincoat, wrap it around the bouquet, and then run into the building in one go.
Back at the store, Feng Chunxi sent a message to Ma Jing, telling her that the flowers had been delivered safely, and then turned on the small electric pot and prepared to cook a bowl of hot noodle soup for herself. Before the water in the pot was boiling, Ma Jing ran in the rain again.
"Here you go, drink some of this to warm up." Ma Jing placed a glass pot on the table.
"What?" Feng Chunxi took a look, and it was red inside, it should be something like herbal tea.
"Rose ginger tea." Ma Jing replied.
Feng Chunxi was a little embarrassed: "Isn't that a woman coming to the eldest aunt to drink?" ”
"That's right, but it's just as useful for you now."
Feng Chunxi didn't postpone either, took out two cups, and enjoyed warm tea with a faint rose fragrance with Ma Jing.
"Hasn't your girlfriend been here lately?"
I don't know if Ma Jing was looking for something to talk about or deliberately asked, she should have asked Bai Xue.
"That's not my girlfriend, it's just a friend who grew up playing. She went to the field to develop. Feng Chunxi replied lightly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Seeing that she often comes to help, I thought it was your girlfriend. ”
"It's okay."
"Then you have to consider finding a clerk, otherwise you will definitely not be able to keep yourself busy."
"I may recruit people in the future, so let's do this for the time being, my store is not yet large enough to hire people."
"If there is anything in the future, you can ask me for help, and we will take care of each other." After greeting for a while, Ma Jing was ready to get up and leave.
At this time, Lemon was probably hungry, opened her big cat mouth and yawned, and then walked towards Feng Chunxi. When he saw Ma Jing, he had to give full play to his coquettish and cute skills, and rubbed Ma Jing's legs from scratch. When Ma Jing first saw the lemon, she praised it for being cute, but when the lemon really rubbed against her leg, she was frightened and retreated, with a little disgust and embarrassment on her face.
Feng Chunxi picked up the lemon and added some cat food to it. While taking the cat food, a small red plastic package fell out. This is a pet wipe that Bai Xue bought for Lemon, which is specially used to wipe the surface of the body. I don't know which master designed the packaging of this thing, and it is very similar to some kind of family planning product. Feng Chunxi wanted to explain to Ma Jing that this was not that thing, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that the explanation would only be more embarrassing, so he had to quickly pick it up and throw it into the cabinet.
After Ma Jing left, the more Feng Chunxi thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he decided to take a close-up photo of the pet wipes and send it to Ma Jing. Soon, Ma Jing replied with a smiling expression.
After that, Ma Jing would often come to Feng Chunxi's shop and ask him to help carry some flowers, ask for some maintenance methods for small potted plants, and bring Feng Chunxi some delicious food. Feng Chunxi has something to go out, and he will also ask Ma Jing to help take a look at the store temporarily.
"Chunxi, you are a big man, how could you think of opening a gardening shop?" Ma Jing brought breakfast and came to the Chunxi Gardening Store, and the two chatted while eating.
Feng Chunxi swallowed the leek box in his mouth and said, "My father opened a gardening shop, and I belong to the son inheriting my father's business." What about you, why do you open a flower shop, I see that you are also very tired in that business, and you have a lot of physical work. ”
"Of course, as you can see, every time I have to buy a lot of flowers, it's really heavy. And for the stabs, I have to get punctured several times a year, and I have to use up two boxes of Band-Aids. However, I still enjoy it, when I see the new beautiful flowers, when I finish a new bouquet, when I see the customer holding flowers happily, I will be very happy! ”
Ma Jing described her work, and her whole person became radiant. Feng Chunxi was a little fascinated by it, and she found that this girl who was accompanied by flowers every day was not only full of flowers, but also looked as beautiful as flowers when she smiled.
"Chunxi, have you ever thought that the two of us cooperate, and now large flower shops sell flowers and potted plants together, which can form scale and customer stickiness?" Ma Jing asked tentatively.
"My store is operating averagely, and if you cooperate with me, you will suffer."
"How come, we are just a combined store, but the sales performance is still calculated separately according to the categories we are responsible for, so that we can take care of each other's business, and the rent can be saved by half."
Feng Chunxi thought for a while, but still refused: "Forget it, I opened this store just to fulfill my father's entrustment, and if I cooperate, Chunxi Gardening Store will not be what it is." Also, my father didn't like cut flowers. ”
"Oh, why?" Ma Jing was a little puzzled.
"He said that cut flowers mean that the head of the flower is cut off, and the flower must grow in the soil to look good." Feng Chunxi smiled and explained his father's reason to Ma Jing.
Ma Jing smiled back and did not refute.
