Tao Zhiyun took the logo designed by Lin Mai and was about to go back.
After taking on so many work clothes jobs, she had to go back and hurry up to make them so that they could be delivered as soon as possible.
Lin Mai stopped her and said, "You're leaving before I buy you the fabric to make work clothes." After that, he took the money from the room and gave it to Tao Zhiyun.
Tao Zhiyun counted the money and returned most of it to Lin Mai: "If I don't pay so much, I'll go to the textile factory and buy pieces of defective cloth. It's very cheap."
Lin Mai put the money in her hand: "You take it first, what if you can't buy the defective cloth?"
Tao Zhiyun thought for a while and accepted the money: "If you buy it, I will refund the extra money to you."
Then he said to Qiqi: "Baby, go back with mom."
The two children had already played together because of Ah Huang. When Qiqi saw her mother calling him to leave, he was reluctant to leave.
Doudou and Ah Huang sent him away, and the little adults said, "Don't be sad, Qiqi. If you want to come to our house to play in the future, Ah Huang and I welcome you at any time."
Ah Huang also barked twice, as if he was echoing Doudou's words.
Lin Mai drew the three logos again and went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register all the logos so that others could not use them fraudulently in the future.
The staff member who received her looked at the drawings and wondered: "There have always been only registered store names and trademarks, but no registered logos."
Lin Maidao: "This is a trademark, just a trademark with a logo."
The staff member was still hesitant: "But without this precedent, I dare not take this initiative. You go and apply to Director Liu. If Director Liu agrees, I will handle it for you."
Lin Mai then went to find Director Liu.
Director Liu immediately agreed, and the staff member registered Lin Mai.
Lin Mai returned to the snack bar, and Li Mingcheng returned from pulling a tractor of corn from the countryside.
Although Linmai is about to open a vegetable market, Li Mingcheng still has to go back to the countryside to transport corn before it opens, otherwise the corn supply to 90% of the snack bars on this street will be interrupted.
Li Mingcheng told Lin Mai that the watermelons grown by many villagers in Simei Town were ripe and wanted to sell them to him, but he did not dare to make the decision, so he came back to ask Lin Mai what he wanted.
Almost every household in Simei Town grows watermelon, but not much, only one and a half acres of land.
But the soil there is very suitable for growing watermelons, and the watermelons grown are particularly sweet. The only difference is that the skin of the watermelons is too thick.
Lin Mai nodded: "Collect it, of course! Collect all the melons, cantaloupes, and vegetable melons, but harvest less vegetable melons. The taste of these melons is really not good."
Although watermelons are also available in state-run markets, they are also supplied in quantities, so who can eat them?
There are not many watermelons sold on the black market, because you have to sell watermelons in large quantities, otherwise you won’t make money.
Since there is a large amount, transportation is needed. Without transportation, it is impossible to transport it to the black market and sell it.
A big businessman like Chen Feng has a truck, but he doesn't bother to resell watermelons.
Anyway, the market will need to be renovated and renovated for at least a few days, and it won't be open for a while, so it's better to sell watermelons and other fruits at the entrance of the market.
Li Mingcheng said: "Then we have to call Brother Feng's people. I can't haul many watermelons with just one tractor."
"Of course, you go to the market and inform Brother Feng's little brother and ask Brother Feng to send someone to go to the countryside with you to collect watermelons tomorrow."
Li Mingcheng agreed and went out.
In the evening, Lin Mai waited for Fang Zhuoran to have dinner and left, and then took Li Mingcheng with him to set up a stall on Jianghan Road.
Chen Feng no longer collects protection money on Jianghan Road, and the situation on Jianghan Road is unknown now. Lin Mai is unsure.
When the two people arrived at Jianghan Road, Jianghan Road was much more chaotic than when Chen Feng managed it.
Several vendors were quarreling over each other to get a good spot, and there was even a tendency to get violent.
Li Mingcheng frowned and said, "How could this happen? Did Brother Feng's men not care about it?"
"If you didn't listen to the radio report a few days ago about cracking down on the evil forces that collect protection fees, Brother Feng must have withdrawn long ago with his troops."
Li Mingcheng sighed helplessly.
It's definitely wrong for Chen Feng to charge protection money, but no one cares about it and it's a mess.
The two people walked towards the place where they usually set up stalls, and found that the spot had already been occupied.
Li Mingcheng wanted to go over and drive people away, but Lin Mai stopped him.
Jianghan Road is so long, why bother competing with others if you can't set up a stall anywhere?
Quarreling is a waste of time and no business can be done at all. These are trivial matters, and it will be even worse if a fight breaks out.
It is difficult to control people's emotions when the weather is so hot. If they get into a fight again and lose control of their emotions, white knives will go in and red knives will come out.
Lin Mai didn't want to cause trouble.
She found an empty spot and was about to set up her stall, when she heard a man yelling angrily from not far away: "Who told you to set up a stall on my property, get out of here!"
Lin Mai glanced in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Feng's younger brother chasing away the small vendor who was occupying her position to set up a stall.
The vendors were so frightened that they hurriedly packed up their things and moved away.
At this time, a man's voice came from behind: "Lin Mai, don't be afraid. Brother Feng sent us to protect you secretly. You should go to your original place to set up a stall."
Lin Mai turned to the younger brother and said, "You are so high-profile, aren't you afraid of calling in the police?"
The boy grinned: "How could it be! Isn't it common to fight for territory? As long as we confiscate the protection fee, it will be fine."
Lin Mai would say no more. Seeing that Chen Feng's two younger brothers had driven away the vendors occupying her stall, she walked over with Li Mingcheng and set up a stall at the old location.
While Li Mingcheng was working, he whispered to Lin Mai: "Brother Feng is so kind to you!"
Lin Mai didn't speak.
She would rather Chen Feng not be so nice to her, it's really too much of a psychological burden!
Talk to him later when you have a chance.
Tao Zhiyun's clothes are fashionable and beautiful, and the fabrics are also good.
After setting up the stall, Lin Mai shouted twice and attracted several girls.
The girls selected for more than a quarter of an hour, each bought a piece of clothing and left.
While they were choosing clothes, several more girls gathered around them.
While many clothing stalls only have one or two customers, Lin Mai's clothing stall was surrounded by more than a dozen people, making it particularly eye-catching.
Many girls who were shopping saw that so many people were choosing clothes in front of this clothing stall. The clothes they sold must be good-looking, so they also gathered around.
By the time the first few girls bought their clothes and left, Lin Mai's clothing stall was already crowded with customers like a snowball.
Some customers choose a good style and a good price, buy the clothes and leave, which is a quick and easy way.
Some choose carefully and compare slowly to see which piece of clothing suits them best.
A girl who came with her mother picked up a shirt and drew it on her body, and asked in a low voice: "Does it look good?"
The girl's mother obviously thought it looked good, but she said against her will: "It's just so-so."
Lin Mai glanced at the girl: "Is this called so-so? This is called beautiful, right? Auntie's requirements are too high!"
The girl was so excited by Lin Mai's rainbow fart that she asked: "How can I sell this dress?"
"Twelve dollars."
The girl pouted and said: "It's so expensive! It's cheaper!"
Lin Mai smiled sweetly at her: "It's not expensive. Look at the fabric and its workmanship."
The girl's mother took the shirt and carefully looked for faults, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find any faults.
Just when she was feeling resentful, her eyes suddenly widened as if she had discovered a new world...
