Soon it was nine o'clock, and a total of four hundred steamed buns and two hundred braised eggs were sold.
It’s much better than hawking business along the street. The key is that you don’t need to be exposed to wind or rain, and no one is driving you away.
After nine-thirty, business was no longer as hot as before, and Fang Zhuoran only bothered to talk to Lin Mai.
He pointed his eyes at Aunt Hu, who was standing outside the store from time to time, frowning and said, "Why is that aunt always peeking at you furtively?"
Lin Mai joked: "What do I have to see? I'm just peeking at you."
When Aunt Hu saw Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran looking at her, she turned around and went back to her home.
Seeing that the business was quiet, Lin Mai walked to the kitchen door and said to Zhou Caiyun: "Stop making steamed buns for the time being.
You come out to greet the business, I want to take Doudou to buy radios and comic books, and I will be back soon."
Fang Zhuoran smiled and said: "No need to call her, I have the business."
Lin Mai thought for a moment and was not polite to him.
After taking the money, I called back Dou Dou, who was sweating profusely from playing hopscotch with Ah Huang and the children.
I wanted to wipe her sweat and take her out.
Doudou heard Lin Mai say that he would take her to buy radios and comic books. She was so happy that she didn't want her to wipe her sweat. She insisted on going to the mall and bookstore immediately to buy radios and comic books.
It's already late April and the weather is already very hot, so it doesn't matter if you don't wipe off the sweat.
Children of this era don't sweat profusely while playing and then use their own body heat to dry their sweaty clothes, and no one gets sick.
Lin Mai was afraid that taking too much care of Doudou would lower her resistance, so he didn't wipe her sweat and took her away.
Zhou Caiyun steamed another batch of steamed buns, shook her sore arms, and walked out of the kitchen to get some fresh air.
On a hot day, there are several stoves in the kitchen, it’s really too hot!
Seeing that Fang Zhuoran was the only one sitting behind the desk where the buns were placed, reading, she hesitated, walked over, took a chair and sat down next to Fang Zhuoran.
Fang Zhuoran glanced at her sideways and asked, "Yesterday, you handed over the clothes to Maizi for me. How did she react?"
Zhou Caiyun was stunned for a moment: "No reaction~"
Fang Zhuoran nodded, said nothing, and continued reading.
Zhou Caiyun was silent for a while, then bravely started the awkward chat mode: "Professor Fang, what do you think of our wheat?"
Fang Zhuoran thought about it seriously and nodded: "A very good girl, hardworking and kind."
Seeing that he spoke so highly of Lin Mai, Zhou Caiyun felt a little happy.
He hesitated and said: "Maizi...she has suffered a lot. I, I especially hope that a good man will marry her and treat her well..."
Although she didn't clearly explain who this good man was, her fiery gaze on Fang Zhuoran already gave her the answer.
Fang Zhuoran didn't know what to say. Nothing seemed appropriate, so he simply didn't say anything.
I finally had the courage to say what I wanted to say, and the next words were not so difficult to say.
Zhou Caiyun said: "Um...Professor Fang, I think you are a very nice person. I...I want you to be with Maizi, and you will definitely be happy."
Fang Zhuoran remained silent and silent again and again.
Zhou Caiyun looked embarrassed. It was his first time to lead someone to a red line and he failed miserably.
"Since you have no interest in Maizi, then, then, forget it, but please don't mention this matter to Maizi, I, I'm afraid she will blame me for being nosy..."
"You are indeed troublesome."
Although the man's tone was gentle, Zhou Caiyun was so shocked that he hid in the kitchen.
Fang Zhuoran had no intention of reading for the moment.
Let him and Lin Mai be together? He has never thought of it that way.
Lin Mai took Dou Dou to the black market first and bought two industrial tickets for ten yuan. Then he went to the mall and let the little guy choose his own radio.
Doudou was very sensible. After asking the salesperson about the price, she picked the cheapest one.
Lin Mai bent over and said to her: "When buying things, you can't just pick cheap ones, you have to look at the quality.
Take this radio for example. If you choose a cheap one, it will break after a short period of use and you will have to buy it again.
It’s better to choose one with good quality and high price from the beginning, which will save you money.”
Children's financial intelligence should be cultivated from an early age so that they can manage money when they grow up.
Doudou was confused and asked Lin Mai how to judge the quality of the radio.
Lin Mai asked her to listen to the sound. The radio without noise would have better quality.
As a result, the mother and daughter tried it out and found that the cheapest radio had no noise, indicating that the quality was also very good.
It can only be said that in this era, the quality of products produced by state-owned factories is very good.
The mother and daughter bought the forty-five yuan radio that Doudou had chosen first.
The salesperson who sold them the radio rolled his eyes at Lin Mai's back and muttered in a low voice: "You're really good at pretending. I thought I was going to buy the most expensive one, but in the end I ended up buying the cheapest one!"
Ever since the article Lin Mai wrote about the unpleasant words and ugly faces of the salesmen at Jiangcheng Shopping Mall was published in the newspapers, all service industries have gone through a major rectification.
So the salesperson only dared to complain in a low voice behind his back, but he didn't even dare to say anything in front of Lin Mai and his daughter.
You don’t need any receipts when you go to the bookstore to buy books. Doudou happily bought a few comic books of "Journey to the West", and the mother and daughter returned home together.
When Lin Mai bought industrial tickets on the black market, he bought a few pig trotters, a pork belly, two pig ears, and a Wuchang fish weighing one and a half pounds, and planned to make some delicious dishes to entertain Fang Zhuoran.
People sacrificed their precious rest time to help her, and she wanted to repay her in a small way.
Back in the store, Lin Mai rolled up his sleeves and started making lunch.
Although it is still early, we have to do business at noon, so lunch must be eaten in advance.
Lin Mai bought Doudou a radio and comic books, and Doudou was very excited.
As soon as he saw Fang Zhuoran, he immediately threw himself into his arms holding the radio and comic strips, and showed him the trophies from his trip.
Fang Zhuoyue held Little Douding in his arms and sat down, turning the radio to a children's program.
The cheerful voice of the little host came from inside: "Dah-dah, dah-dah, children, the small speaker has started broadcasting!"
It immediately attracted several children from the same street and gathered around.
Although many people in the city have radios at home, they are so precious that they are not allowed to be touched by preschool children for fear of damaging them.
Those children were extremely envious when they saw that Doudou could hold the radio in his hands and play with it over and over.
A brave child asked: "Doudou, can you let me touch your radio?"
Although Lin Mai's family had just moved here, Doudou was already familiar with the children on this street, so the children could call her by name.
Doudou was very generous: "Then you can touch my hand."
The children touched the radio in her hand one by one.
Yangyang saw this and came over, wanting to touch Doudou's new radio.
Doudou immediately took the radio back into his arms and said with a cold face: "I won't let you touch it!"
Fang Zhuoran touched her little head: "It's not good for you to be like this. You must be friendly to children."
