Puji Workers' Community is large in scale and has strong purchasing power. Lin Mai sold half of the steamed buns and braised eggs after shouting around the community.
No one cares about doing business in the community. Lin Mai thought that he could sell steamed buns and braised eggs here for a long time in the future.
The next day, Lin Mai sold wheat at the dock until seven o'clock, then rode a tricycle to the Puji Hospital staff community to sell breakfast.
People who go to school or work in the community buy breakfast from her when they pass by her.
Lin Mai paid attention to Fang Zhuoran while doing business.
As soon as Fang Zhuoran appeared, she smiled at him.
Fang Zhuoran walked up to her with a smile and said, "Two pickled cabbage buns and one braised egg."
Lin Mai gave him two meat buns and two braised eggs: "It's okay to eat pickled cabbage buns once in a while, but they don't have much nutrition if you eat them every day."
Fang Zhuoran smiled and accepted her arrangement obediently.
Lin Mai took out eighty yuan from his pocket and handed it to him: "The money for the tricycle."
Lin Mai didn't give him the money for the tricycle yesterday. Fang Zhuoran thought she had forgotten it and wished she would forget it forever, but he didn't expect to pay him back today.
He felt a little disappointed for no reason.
The two chatted casually, and then Fang Zhuoran went to work, while Lin Mai concentrated on selling breakfast.
No one noticed that Qi Yan was standing not far away, looking at Lin Mai jealously.
This woman is so shameless. Professor Fang only regards her as a younger sister, but she wants to seduce Professor Fang. What kind of virtue is she doing without peeing to show off herself!
Qi Yan walked over arrogantly, looked at Lin Mai, and said in a bad tone: "Are your steamed buns and braised eggs hygienic? Can they be eaten?"
Lin Mai raised his head and recognized her at a glance: "Aren't you Professor Fang's colleague?
When I talked to Professor Fang yesterday, you looked at me with hostility.
I thought about it for a long time afterwards. I didn't dig your ancestral grave or jump into the well with your family in my arms.
I don't even know you, how could you hate me like you hate the person who killed your father?
There is only one reason, you like Professor Fang and you are jealous of Professor Fang talking to me!
So, don’t find fault with my steamed buns and braised eggs for being unhygienic. You just don’t like me and want to punish me!
You can be considered an intellectual after all, but with this level of accomplishment? You are even worse than a village girl like me!"
After Lin Mai finished speaking, the customers buying breakfast all looked at Qi Yan strangely.
Qi Yan's face turned blue and white, changing wonderfully: "It's obvious that there was a problem with your early sales, but you are still making excuses!"
Lin Maiyun said calmly: "I came here to sell breakfast yesterday, did anyone come to me after eating too much?
It's obvious that you're the one who's slandering others, but you're beating them up. I advise you to be kind!"
Qi Yan did not expect Lin Mai to be so sharp-tongued.
She didn't dare to argue anymore. She couldn't argue anymore. If she forced the argument to continue, she would be embarrassed.
But I also wanted to give myself a step down, and said: "I am not as knowledgeable as the uneducated people."
After that, he stepped on high heels, puffed out his chest, and left pretending to be arrogant.
Lin Mai retorted: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone express a rationale in such a fresh and refined way."
With just these words, the steps Qi Yan found for herself were demolished.
Qi Yan was so angry that her face looked like pig liver.
Instead of going to work, he secretly found the security captain of the community and asked, "Isn't there anyone in charge of our community?"
"Why is no one taking care of it?" The security captain looked surprised when faced with the question, "There are people on duty at the door and people doing hygiene. Isn't that enough? How else can we take care of it?"
"Then why do you let the vendors come in and sell breakfast?"
Qi Yan said with a serious face: "You are not afraid that the food sold by these unknown vendors is unhygienic and will make people sick!"
The security captain was startled: "I ate the steamed buns and braised eggs sold by that girl yesterday, and I ate them again today, and I didn't feel any discomfort. The food they sell should be hygienic."
"Even if it is hygienic, if people of unknown origin are allowed in, aren't you worried about potential safety hazards?
If someone loses something, can you be responsible?"
The security captain finally figured out that this resident just wanted Lin Mai to get out.
He would not offend the residents for a small vendor, so he walked over and chased Lin Mai away: "You are not allowed to set up stalls in the community, get out!"
Lin Mai turned to look at the security captain, and accidentally saw Qi Yan's head extending out and then retracting at the door of the security room behind him, and he immediately understood what was going on.
I don’t want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay.
If you are not allowed to sell in this community, you can go to other communities to sell.
She had never come to the staff community of Puji Hospital to sell steamed buns and braised eggs before, but she still sold them every day.
Lin Mai apologized to the residents in the community who gathered in front of her to buy breakfast: "I'm really sorry, I can't sell it."
He closed the lids on the wooden barrels containing steamed buns and braised eggs and wanted to leave.
How could the residents of the community let her go? If she left, there would be no convenience store for the people.
These high-level intellectuals just like to make things convenient.
Many residents grabbed her tricycle and said, "Don't be too busy walking."
Someone asked the security captain: "You said you won't let others set up stalls here, who gave you the power?"
The security captain stuttered when he was asked: "Yes, some residents do not agree to allow unknown vendors to enter the community to set up stalls, for fear of hidden dangers."
Lin Mai corrected: "I am not a small vendor with unknown origins. I know Professor Fang Zhuoran."
The residents of the community said, "Did you hear that? I'm not a small vendor with unknown origins."
Some residents also said: "So what if they are small vendors whose origins are unknown? If you drive other residents away if they don't agree, have you asked for our opinions? Are we not residents of this community?"
The security captain was left speechless after being questioned.
Lin Mai deliberately fanned the flames: "Which resident does not agree?"
The security captain said nothing.
Lin Mai pointed with his chin at Qi Yan, who wanted to sneak away to work: "Is it her?"
The security captain turned to look at Qi Yan and said nothing, indicating his acquiescence.
Lin Mai muttered in a low voice: "She knew that Professor Fang and I knew each other, but she actually said that I was a small vendor with unknown origins!"
The residents present also saw Qi Yan, and their contempt for her could not be greater.
She was targeting Lin Mai just now, and many people witnessed it.
Although many residents supported it, Lin Mai was determined not to sell it any more.
Only if she doesn't sell it and those residents feel inconvenienced, will they vent their dissatisfaction on Qi Yan, letting Qi Yan taste what it means to harm others and ultimately harm yourself.
Qi Yan refused to let Lin Mai set up a stall in Puji Workers' Community, and this matter soon reached Fang Zhuoran's ears.
Fang Zhuoran was a casual acquaintance with Qi Yan, but when this happened, he didn't even bother to deal with her and just ignored her.
Qi Yan was interested in him, but was ignored by him, which made her feel depressed.
Coupled with the fact that the residents in the same community pointed at her, she was in a daze, made a major mistake at work, and almost caused a medical accident. She was transferred to a small hospital in the county by Puji Hospital. This is a story later.
Several days passed by. One day at lunch, Zhou Caiyun told Lin Mai that there were not many eggs at home, and they probably only had enough to sell for one more day.
Lin Mai ladles egg and tofu soup into a bowl: "After dinner, I will borrow the village phone number to call the brigade in Simei Town.
Ask them to help send a message to Grandpa Fang, asking Grandpa Fang to help collect three thousand eggs.
I will only do business for half a day the day after tomorrow, and at about ten o'clock I will drive the tractor back to the countryside to transport eggs."
She took a sip of the egg and tofu soup and asked, "Besides the eggs are almost gone, how much flour is left? Do you want to bring some flour back?"
Zhou Caiyun nodded: "If you want it, let's get three hundred catties first."
