Chapter 390 Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang visit the vegetable market
Lin Mai washed the clothes, and Fu Qiang also made soda meat.
Fu Qiang was a little excited and shy and asked Lin Mai to try it to see if he did well.
Lin Mai picked up a small spoon, took a mouthful of soda meat and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully.
Although it is not delicious, it is definitely not unpalatable.
She gave Fuqiang a thumbs-up without being stingy at all: "It tastes good!"
What she said is not an exaggeration. It is very rare to be able to make soda meat like this for the first time.
Fu Qiang was so happy that his face turned red.
Lin Mai ordered: "Go downstairs to the Baohaoshi Noodle Shop and get two baskets of steamed buns, a portion of tofu puffs, and soda meat while they are still hot and send them to your dad. Then come back and have breakfast with your mom.
Remember to ask the waiter to register my name so that I can pay the bill together at the end of the month."
Fugui was a little surprised: "You have to pay for your own store?"
“It’s convenient for accounting management.”
Fuqiang went up to the attic, woke up his mother, and went with him to deliver breakfast to his father.
Lin Mai suddenly remembered that he had never told Fu Qiang that his mother broke away from her and ran away yesterday.
This must be told to him so that he can be mentally prepared.
In case he is not strict with his mother, and his mother runs away due to an oversight, he will suffer the consequences.
So he stopped Fu Qiang, told him about his mother's escape, and told him not to let go of his mother for a moment.
Only then did Fu Qiang realize that his crazy mother had caused a lot of trouble to Lin Mai. He felt very sorry and apologized to Lin Mai for his crazy mother.
Lin Mai waved his hand: "Your mother didn't mean it. She was just unconscious. You don't need to apologize."
Fu Qiang, mother and son, walked out the door, and Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang, and Doudou also got up and started washing up.
Lin Mai thought that he was going to cut the ribbon for Lily Headdress today, so he couldn't dress too casually.
So she went back to the room and changed into a dark blue suit and skirt that Tao Zhiyun had made for her, and put her hair up. She looked like a professional and strong woman, but her face was a bit immature.
When Lin Mai came out of the room, everyone was shocked.
Her usual style of dressing tends to be fresh and feminine, but she didn't expect to look so capable and dashing in a suit and mini skirt.
Let's go to Baohao delicious pastry shop to have breakfast together.
Still eating in the private room.
There are few people in the private room in the morning, so if it is empty, it will be empty, so it is better to enjoy it by yourself.
After breakfast, Lin Mai rode a tricycle and took the two elders and one child to Fuduoduo Market to deliver food.
A younger brother named Zhao Liang under Chen Feng came up to him and asked in surprise: "Mr. Lin, why did you bring food?"
Lin Mai pointed at Grandpa Fang and his wife: "My grandpa's, take it and help sell it."
"Okay!" Zhao Liang glanced at Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang.
Seeing that although they were dressed simply, they had an indescribable calmness about them, I knew they were not ordinary old people.
I greeted them respectfully and called a younger brother, "Category, weigh and calculate the money for my grandparents' vegetables, and then put them on the table to sell."
The boy responded and started to move the vegetables.
Lin Mai ordered: "Check the vegetables. If there are yellow leaves, you must knock off the yellow leaves. If there are rotten ones, throw them away. Then weigh them and put them on the scale for sale."
The younger brother responded again.
Lin Mai then took Grandma Fang and others into Fuduoduo Market.
Doudou and Lin Mai often go to the vegetable market together, and they are accustomed to everything in the market.
But Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were amazed when they saw it.
When they lived in the capital before, those special food markets were not as clean and tidy as Fuduoduo Food Market.
The salespersons at those special food markets all wear blue coats, unlike Fuduoduo Food Market, where employees of different types of work wear work uniforms of different colors.
As for the variety of products, they are not even comparable to the special food markets in the capital.
Fruits, vegetables and seafood are almost available from south to north.
Grandpa Fang walked to the counter selling dried seafood, picked up a large dried squid, and asked Lin Mai in surprise: "How can you even get dried seafood?"
Lin Mai smiled: "Seafood is a rarity here and is not valuable in the coastal areas.
When our buyers go to purchase goods, they can easily buy them from local fishermen."
Grandpa Fang nodded.
The group continued to visit the market.
Grandma Fang was shocked when she saw the market chop ribs and kill poultry for customers for free.
Grandma Fang sighed: "No wonder your market business is so good, your service attitude is so good!
If it were me, even though your products are more expensive than state-owned food markets, but the variety is complete and the service is good, I would be willing to buy from you."
Lin Mai smiled and said nothing.
This idea is only suitable for people with decent family conditions.
Linmai introduced convenience measures such as killing poultry and chopping ribs for customers for free, just to win over these customers.
Customers who are too financially strapped still prefer to go to state-owned markets to buy food.
They don't need any free services, they just want to be cheap.
This type of customer will only patronize his market unless they want to buy food that is not available in state-owned markets, so it is difficult to attract them.
After all, the prices of products in her market cannot be lower than those in state-owned markets, so there is no price advantage.
However, in Jiangcheng, there are still many people with decent conditions.
In addition, her market has long operating hours, making it convenient for a two-income family, which is why the business is so good.
Grandpa Fang said very objectively: "This is good.
With the private market like Maizi as a model, let those state-owned markets reflect on how they are not even as good as a private market? How do they serve the people?"
Grandma Fang sighed: "So there is a reason why state-owned units are not competitive.
Those workers are holding an iron rice bowl as if they are holding a sword, fearing neither heaven nor earth.
How can I serve the people? I am as powerful as the previous officials!"
The two old men began to discuss current affairs.
Lin Mai listened silently and accompanied them as they visited the market and bought ingredients.
Zhao Liang also personally gave Grandpa Fang the money he earned from selling vegetables.
Grandpa Fang accepted it with a smile.
After buying the ingredients, I saw that it was getting late and I had to go to the Lily Headwear Workshop to prepare for the ribbon cutting.
Lin Mai then asked Grandpa Fang and the others to go shopping on their own before going home.
Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang also wanted to join in the fun. In the end, everyone went to Lily Headwear Workshop.
Lin Mai was already rolling up his sleeves and preparing to decorate the front room of Lily Headdress.
The front room was empty and empty.
At least there should be a lot of flowers hanging on the wall so that customers can choose when they come in.
Unexpectedly, when a group of them arrived at Lily Headdress, the front room had already been decorated.
Although it was not as Lin Mai imagined, the walls were covered with headdresses.
Instead, the walls were covered with posters of Tao Zhiyun wearing various headdresses.
Not only can people see the appearance of the headdress at a glance, but also the effect of wearing it on the head is no worse than hanging the headdress on the wall.
Lily headwear currently only has dozens of styles, which can be displayed on a row of glass counters.
Two salesmen wearing the same work uniforms as Lin Mai's salesmen at the shopping mall stood in front of the glass display counter with big smiles, waiting for customers to come at any time.
Lin Mai saw voices coming from the inner workroom. She looked over and saw that it was Ren Baozhu, the workshop director of Unico Garment Factory, inspecting the workroom.
If there is anything inappropriate, ask the workers to correct it.
Lin Mai waited until she was finished, and then asked in surprise: "Are these all your masterpieces?"
Ren Baozhu nodded generously.
Doudou lay on the glass display cabinet and looked at the tiaras inside, and shouted happily: "Mom, the tiaras here are so beautiful, I want this, and I want this!"
Lin Mai had no time to talk to her: "Let's talk about it later, mom is busy now."
Doudou was more obedient and stopped shouting.
Hong Xiumei's ten employees arrived before eight o'clock.
As soon as you arrive, you consciously sit down at your own desk and start working.
Although they had agreed with the district chief to cut the ribbon at eight o'clock, Lin Mai and others waited until the district chief arrived at half past eight.
However, the district mayor did not come alone, but came with the TV station's photographers and reporters.
