Lin Mai came to the Personnel Department of Zhongnan Design Institute.
The head of the personnel department still remembers her, not because she is beautiful.
A teenage girl, no matter how good-looking she is, has something to do with him.
It was mainly because of Lin Mai's generosity and generous red envelopes that the HR section chief was deeply impressed by her.
Lin Mai, like last time, opened the way with red envelopes.
The HR section chief received the red envelope and wholeheartedly recommended several retired engineers with outstanding abilities in house design and construction to her.
He also carefully introduced the personalities of these engineers so that Lin Mai could more accurately recruit the talents he wanted.
Lin Mai listened to the introduction of the personnel chief and chose a retired engineer named Yu Ming.
When she came to Yu's hometown and explained her intention, she made Yu Lao very happy.
He smiled brightly and said: "Oh, that's great, one day I will be re-employed, and I no longer have to envy that old guy Zheng Endong!"
Lin Mai handed the map of the land in Shangquan Village to Mr. Yu:
"This is your first task, which is to design a five-story commercial city on this land, which will be divided into many shops.
When do you think you can design it?"
Mr. Yu took the map and said, "I'll go see it on site later. I can design it in two days at most."
Lin Mai smiled: "Don't be so anxious, you can design it after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will pick you up in two days to go to the company for a meeting and get to know the colleagues in the company. By then, just give me the drawings."
Yu Lao waved his hand: "It really doesn't take that long. I can design it if I squeeze out some time during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It’s not like designing a large landmark building, which is effortless.”
Lin Mai then obeyed him.
The first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival is Monday, the day for the regular morning meeting.
If Mr. Yu can submit the design drawing that day, there will be no need to postpone the meeting for him.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. After leaving Yu's hometown, Lin Mai went to Fuduoduo Market to buy ingredients for dinner and check on Zhao Liang's work.
A few days ago, Lin Mai came to his family's vegetable market, and there were already a lot of customers.
There were even more people today, and it would be an understatement to describe them as crowded.
Lin Mai followed the flow of people into Fuduoduo Market. Except for rice, noodles and vegetables, the prices did not increase, while the prices of poultry, eggs and meat increased slightly.
Even so, there are only a lot more customers buying, as if the goods are free of charge.
All the rice and noodles sold in the rice and noodles section are new rice and new noodles. Because the prices have not increased, there are many people buying them.
Many customers bought two bags, each bag containing fifty kilograms of rice.
The tallymen kept replenishing goods, and they were all so tired that they were covered in sweat, and their work clothes were soaked with sweat.
Lin Mai walked to the pork counter and wanted to buy a pound of tenderloin. He planned to cook a sweet and sour pork tenderloin for dinner. Grandpa and Grandma Fang loved this dish.
I heard a few ladies arguing with the salesperson at the counter selling white-striped chicken and duck next door.
One of the aunts questioned that the white-striped chicken and duck in the freezer were not fresh enough.
The salesperson patiently explained to her that these white-striped chickens and ducks are slaughtered at two or three in the morning to ensure freshness.
The aunt rolled her eyes and said, "Of course your food is fresh! We didn't see it being freshly killed.
Besides, what if they were killed freshly? We don’t know whether those chickens and ducks were sick.”
After hearing what the aunt said, many customers agreed and felt that what she said made sense.
When Zhao Liang inspected the market, he saw that the counter selling white-striped chicken and white-striped duck was very busy, so he walked over to take a look.
After figuring out the reason, he told a younger brother who was following him: "Go to my office and hang up the quarantine certificates for white-striped chickens and white-striped ducks."
The boy acted very quickly, and within a few minutes, the quarantine certificate wrapped in a transparent plastic bag was hung above the desk.
The aunt had nothing to say. Just when she was about to choose a white-striped chicken, she was pushed aside by a swarm of customers from behind. Everyone was rushing to buy white-striped chicken and white-striped duck.
There was only a freezer of white-striped chicken and white-striped duck. The quantity was limited, so I was worried that I might not be able to buy it if I bought it too late.
Zhao Liang was afraid of causing a stampede, so he called in the security guards at the market to maintain order, and at the same time arranged for people to rush to the state-owned cold storage to transport 200 white-striped chickens and ducks.
Lin Mai did not intervene and let Zhao Liang handle it on his own.
Besides, he handled it well, so she had no reason to intervene.
She bought a pound of tenderloin and half a pound of pork liver, and continued shopping at the market.
I saw crabs for sale in the river seafood area, so I walked over excitedly.
Crabs, shrimps and seafood are all her favorites, and she loves crabs and shrimps from her hometown even more.
The river shrimps in Simei Town are large green shrimps that can grow to one or two inches.
Crabs can also grow to the size of a bowl.
However, the yield in the wild is very low, and the locals don’t like to eat river crabs and shrimps very much, so it has no reputation at all.
Lin Mai squatted down to pick shrimps and crabs,
She bought two kilograms of lively big green shrimps, and she bought eleven large river crabs wielding big pincers in one go.
There are five adults and one child at home for dinner, so I’m afraid there won’t be enough food if I buy less.
Anyway, she can eat two of these big river crabs at a time, so it is estimated that Grandpa Fang and the others' fighting power will not be much weaker.
In this era, river shrimps and river crabs are not valuable. Lin Mai bought so many river shrimps and crabs for the price of two pounds of ribs.
A few decades later, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it back for just a few hundred dollars.
Lin Mai waited for the salesperson to pack the shrimps and crabs for her and carried them in her hands. When she turned around, she saw Zhao Liang, which shocked her.
She patted her chest and asked, "Why are you running behind me if you don't deal with the situation?"
Zhao Liang smiled and said: "The situation has been dealt with. Mr. Lin is here. I always want to say hello."
Lin Mai looked towards the counter selling white-striped chicken and white-striped duck, and saw several tallymen pushing baskets of white-striped chicken and duck pressed with ice on small flat carts.
The noisy customers finally became quieter.
Lin Mai said: "Didn't I ask you to use ice cubes to refrigerate the white striped chicken and white striped duck to keep them fresh in the warehouse?
When the items in the freezer are sold out, you can replenish them immediately.
If customers see it, there will be no disturbance.
Why do you spend money to send white-striped chicken and white-striped duck to a state-owned cold storage to keep it fresh?
Are you afraid that using ice cubes won’t keep it fresh?
As long as there are enough ice cubes, there will be no problem in keeping it fresh for a short period of time."
Zhao Liang shook his head: "It's not because of this, it's mainly because the rice noodles and oil are selling so well.
I was afraid that I would run out of goods after selling them, so I bought a lot of rice, flour and oil early and piled them in the warehouse.
White-striped chicken and white-striped duck can no longer be stored in the warehouse, for fear that moisture will affect the quality of the rice noodles."
I see.
Zhao Liang sighed and said: "It would be great if our market could build a small cold storage, so that we could put the frozen ingredients in it.
If any frozen ingredients are sold out, you can take them directly from your own small cold storage, and it only takes a few minutes to replenish them.
Putting the ingredients in the cold storage and replenishing them takes at least ten minutes, which is as fast as driving a three-wheeled motorcycle."
As he was complaining, an employee called him over to solve the problem.
Zhao Liang pointed to the seafood area: "The salesperson in Guangdong got big lobsters. Mr. Lin went to buy two?" and left in a hurry.
Lin Mai stretched his head and looked at the seafood area. Sure enough, there was a large lobster unique to China's waters - Splendid lobster for sale.
Compared with Australian lobster, this kind of large lobster has the same taste.
However, in China, foreign monks have always been fond of chanting sutras and hold Australian lobsters in high esteem. As a result, our own Splendid lobsters are not as famous as Australian lobsters.
Splendid lobster steamed, baked... Linmai has at least eighteen ways to eat it.
But I have already bought river lobsters today. The Mid-Autumn Festival is officially celebrated tomorrow, and I will buy Splendid lobsters by then.
When Lin Mai was buying vegetables and fruits, he saw wild chestnuts for sale.
Thinking that when she was first reborn, she slowly started her own business step by step by selling wild roasted chestnuts, I felt a little sad.
She bought two kilograms of wild chestnuts and a large white-striped duck, and planned to cook a roast duck with chestnuts for everyone to eat in the evening.
After buying all kinds of ingredients, Lin Mai went to the Baohao Noodle Shop again and picked up a box of fruit mooncakes of different flavors before riding his bicycle to the villa.
Along the way, she always felt like she had forgotten something, but she just couldn't remember it.
Since he couldn't remember it, it wasn't an important matter, so Lin Mai didn't think much about it.
