Chapter 696 The first vegetable market in the capital
It was past ten o'clock at night, and the whole family had gone to bed. Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran had also washed themselves and were ready to go to bed.
Lin Mai looked at Fang Zhuoran with burning eyes and knew what he wanted to do.
Although it has been almost two months since she got married, she is still very shy.
Fang Zhuoran picked her up, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and lay down in her bed.
After some kissing and hugging, Lin Mai lay softly in his arms.
When Fang Zhuoran was about to take the next step, Lin Mai thought of how good he was to her, and her blood boiled for a moment. She turned over and pressed on him, saying: "I'll do it this time~"
Fang Zhuoran looked at her in surprise.
Every time the little girl performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong with him, she was extremely shy.
Now he actually brought her up, which made him suspect that he was hallucinating.
There was a smile in his eyes: "Okay, you come."
Lin Mai is a giant of language and a dwarf of action.
She fidgeted with Fang Zhuoran for a long time, but was too embarrassed to do anything.
Finally, she rolled off of him, cleared her throat, and said, "I'm tired, let's wait another day."
"I'm not tired, and I don't want to change the day. If you don't come, I will~" Fang Zhuoran launched an attack.
Lin Mai thought in his heart that such shameless things are still suitable for men to do...
…
It only took Zhao Liang a week to renovate the Xidanmen market and recruit all the employees.
There are laid-off workers from the original vegetable market, as well as unemployed young people.
The opening day is scheduled for this Sunday.
Although they had worked hard last night, Lin and Mai got up as soon as six o'clock, preparing to go to their first Fuduoduo market in Beijing.
The two of them finished washing up and came to the living room. Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang and Doudou had all gotten up early, and they were all dressed up decently. Those who didn't know it thought they were going out for fun as a family.
In late November in Beijing, the temperature was already very low, and the wind was a bit painful on my face.
Fang Zhuoran put on masks for everyone, which can prevent cold wind and sand.
When Fang Zhuoran put a mask on Lin Mai, he saw her crooked eyebrows, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
He secretly glanced at Grandpa Fang, Grandma Fang and Doudou. Neither of them looked in their direction. He quickly kissed Lin Mai on the cheek.
Lin Mai gave him a shy and affectionate look.
Fuduoduo Food Market in Xidanmen is not far from Linmai's courtyard house, so the whole family plans to walk there.
After going out, Lin Mai saw some old people walking around, holding a radio in their hands and listening to it while walking.
What was playing on the radio was an advertisement for the Jinxiu Cup Model Contest.
The background music "Blooming Life" played inside, and the old people were infected by the music, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they walked with much more energy.
Children's imitation ability is very strong.
Doudou listened to "Blooming Life" from other people's radios several times along the way, and when she arrived at the entrance of Xidanmen Fuduoduo Market, she could sing a few lines intermittently.
There is a discount on the first day of opening, kelp is half price, and each person is limited to one pound.
There are 500 copies in total, first come first served, then the normal price.
Zhao Liang is already very experienced. In order to prevent stampede accidents caused by old men and old ladies buying vegetables trying to grab a kilogram of half-priced kelp, he led security guards at the entrance of the market early to maintain order.
When a customer came in line, he asked the security captain to hand out a kelp coupon.
With the kelp coupon, customers can buy a pound of kelp at half price within three days, which can effectively prevent stampede accidents.
The five hundred kelp coupons were distributed quickly, and there is still some time before Fuduoduo Food Market opens for business.
Those old men and women gathered together in small groups and chatted.
Almost all the conversations were about the Jinxiu Cup Model Contest.
Many old men and women ask each other, what is a model?
He also said that his granddaughter wanted to participate.
Some elderly people have even begun to look forward to it. How great it would be if their granddaughter got a bonus!
Amidst the discussions of the old men and old ladies, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning, and it was time for Fuduoduo Food Market to open for business.
The old men and women who came to buy groceries all looked like they were charging into battle.
When Lin Mai saw the number of people and the posture, he was a little worried that when the door opened later, all these old men and old ladies would rush in, and a stampede would very likely occur.
She hurriedly walked to Zhao Liang and told him her worries.
It was suggested that he should not open the main door, but open the small door first, and let these old men and women enter through the small door before opening the main door.
Zhao Liang nodded: "I think so too."
Even though the small door was open, old men and old ladies still crowded in.
But the small door is only that big, and there are security guards standing inside and outside the door to maintain order. Even if an old man or an old lady is squeezed and almost falls, the security guards can hold them.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the old men and women who came to buy vegetables safely entered the market, and Zhao Liang opened the door.
This is the first Fuduoduo market in Beijing, just like Lin Mai's two markets in Jiangcheng, selling almost everything.
The only difference is that the greenhouse vegetables sold in the two markets in Jiangcheng are very fresh.
The greenhouse vegetables sold at this market in Beijing are somewhat wilted.
After all, these greenhouse vegetables are all transported from rural areas in Jiangcheng, and it takes time from picking to sorting to shipping.
If you want to eat fresh greenhouse vegetables, you have to wait for Zhao Liang's greenhouse vegetables in the suburbs of Beijing to mature.
It was the first time for the people in the capital to see such a complete variety of food markets that did not require tickets. Just like the people in Jiangcheng back then, they were both fresh and excited.
The reason for excitement is that the quality of agricultural products in Linmai's Fuduoduo market is obviously better than that of state-owned markets, but most of the prices are only a little more expensive than state-owned markets.
Take the rice and flour, for example, they are all new rice and flour from that year.
Many old men and women bought hundreds of kilograms of rice and noodles at once, and happily carried them home on their bicycles.
When new rice and new noodles are available, who would want to buy old rice and noodles from state-owned grain stores?
There are also many people buying cooking oil. The little cooking oil allocated by the national plan is far from enough for ordinary people.
Those old men and old ladies buy ten or twenty pounds at a time, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it in the future.
Although the unlimited purchase of beef and mutton is not cheap, there are many people who can buy it.
After all, this is the capital, and the people's wallets are much warmer than those in Jiangcheng, so their purchasing power is stronger.
Lin Mai asked Zhao Liang to cut a few kilograms of beef leg tendons and a lamb leg for her.
Since arriving in the capital, their family rarely eats beef and mutton because they are unavailable.
Yesterday, Doudou said that she wanted to eat hot-pot meat in a copper pot. Today she will have a meal at home to achieve the freedom of beef and mutton.
In addition, Lin Mai also bought tomatoes, lettuce and other ingredients that filled the vegetable basket.
When the family was about to leave, a man approached Zhao Liang.
He said that he was the manager of a long-established barbecue restaurant and asked Zhao Liang if he could supply one hundred kilograms of fresh beef and mutton to their store every day.
Fuduoduo has Tanama, a buyer who lives in Inner Mongolia, so purchasing more beef and mutton is no problem.
Zhao Liang agreed wholeheartedly, and the two immediately entered the price negotiation stage.
Lin Mai did not stay and listen carefully, she believed in Zhao Liang's ability.
