Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 420: Freshly Unearthed Ginseng

The next night, Lin Qingyan dug three relatively small ginseng roots in the space, put them in three specially made boxes, and put them together in a handbag.

Then she left the space and came to the port city. When she arrived at the fruit shop, Mr. Hong had already arrived.

He saw Lin Qingyan holding a lucky bag casually in her hand and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hong, I'm late."

Under the gaze of a group of people, Lin Qingyan walked into the fruit shop with a smile on her face.

Mr. Hong smiled politely: "No, I came early, Miss Lin, you are very punctual."

Lin Qingyan didn't want to waste time here, so she put the ginseng she brought on the table and signaled Mr. Hong's men to take it over for inspection.

She had been to Zhou Limei's place before and often saw her watching TV on her mobile phone, and she watched it too.

This kind of scene often appears in TV dramas. No matter what is being traded, the boss will not check it himself.

Mr. Hong brought an old man with him this time. After seeing Mr. Hong's gesture, he stepped forward and carefully took out the three boxes from the bag.

He put on gloves, opened the boxes carefully, and observed the ginsengs carefully. After he had looked through all three boxes, he nodded slightly to Mr. Hong.

Mr. Hong then smiled at Lin Qingyan and said, "Ms. Lin is quite straightforward. It is Mr. Hong's honor to meet you."

"Mr. Hong, you are too polite. Our cooperation is a win-win situation."

“Yes, our cooperation is a win-win situation.”

Mr. Hong signaled his men to deliver the box to Lin Qingyan.

"Ms. Lin, here is 45 U.S. dollars, please check it."

Lin Qingyan opened the box, took a look at it, then closed it, smiling and saying to Mr. Hong:

"I have cooperated with Mr. Hong several times. I believe in your credibility."

Mr. Hong laughed and agreed with her. In fact, his subordinates did have some suggestions.

It is suggested that Mr. Hong swallow Lin Qingyan's ginseng directly. She is a small person with no background. There is no need for them to give her money.

If you are worried about the bad influence, you can just give some money to get rid of it.

It's not like they haven't done this before, but this time Mr. Hong directly stopped them from doing so.

He always felt that Lin Qingyan was a little mysterious, which made him a little worried. Especially the higher his position, the more he knew and the more worried he became. He also knew that there were many ancient families in the mainland that he could not afford to offend.

What's more, 45 is just a drop in the bucket for him and cannot hurt his foundation.

Lin Qingyan didn't know what Mr. Hong was thinking, nor did she want to know. She was carrying a suitcase and walking alone on the streets of Hong Kong City. She knew someone was following her, but she didn't care.

This is in Hong Kong City, not in the mainland. No one here knows who she is. Moreover, Hong Kong City is full of mixed forces at this time. She doesn't have to worry too much and can do whatever she wants.

After Lin Qingyan disappeared again, Mr. Hong also returned to his house.

He sat on the sofa and listened to the old man who had just tested the ginseng:

"Sir, these ginsengs are not only old, but also more than a hundred years old. Most importantly, they are very fresh, just like they were just unearthed. This is very strange, but I think I am not mistaken."

Mr. Hong was surprised to hear the old man's judgment.

“Are you sure these are freshly unearthed ginseng?”

"Yes, sir, I am quite sure of that, and that is why I find it a little strange."

When Mr. Hong got the affirmative answer from the old man, he became even more silent. The newly unearthed 100-year-old ginseng, and three of them at the same time,

Who is Miss Lin? Where can such ginseng be produced? Is it a ginseng garden or an ancient medicinal field?

No matter what the answer is, in Mr. Hong's heart, Lin Qingyan has become one of the people he cannot easily offend.

Lin Qingyan, who had already returned to her courtyard house in Beijing, was unaware of all this.

She wanted to buy an oven, and Mr. Hong helped her find a seller. She bought two large ovens from a cake shop. After returning, Lin Qingyan placed the ovens in the third-floor house and then went back to her room to rest.

In the morning, Liu Huizhen looked at her daughter who was eating steamed buns.

"Girl, what did you just say?"

"Mom, I just said I bought two electric ovens for the dessert shop. They were from Hong Kong City and I had them delivered to the house over there.

You can ask someone to take it to a dessert shop. This electric oven is much more convenient than a baking oven. It is also easier and more convenient to bake cakes. You can put the oven directly in the kitchen.

I'll meet you at the dessert shop after school tonight, and we'll try this oven together."

"Qingyan, when did you get the electric oven? Or did you get it from Hong Kong City? How much did it cost? Besides, our oven is pretty useful."

Liu Huizhen is now very familiar with using the oven, except that it is a little troublesome when baking.

"Mom, is your dessert shop business going well?"

Lin Qingyan suddenly changed the subject, and Liu Huizhen also answered subconsciously:

"Our dessert shop is doing great business, with hundreds of dollars in revenue every day. During the peak dining hours these days, there are not enough seats. Some people have to line up outside and wait until everyone inside has finished eating before they can go in."

Liu Huizhen felt proud but also a little worried when she thought of this. She also felt that the dessert shop was a little small.

She shouldn't have let Lu Wan'er give the two big stores to her daughter. Thinking of this, she glanced at Lin Qingyan.

"Mom, our dessert shop is doing so well, there must be people who are jealous and want to open a dessert shop similar to ours."

Lin Qingyan's words instantly washed away Liu Huizhen's previous hesitation, and now only anxiety was left.

"My girl, didn't you say before that it's okay to have the same competitors?

As long as we run our own store well, ensure quality, and continue to launch new products, will we be irreplaceable?"

Liu Huizhen's question made Lin Qingyan choke. When the clothes appeared in the same frame,

Lin Qingyan once used these words to comfort them, but she didn't expect that her own mother would use them to block her.

"Mom, desserts are different from clothes. We can open a few more branches first to occupy the market and build up the reputation of the dessert shop.

When people in Beijing mention dessert shops, they think of our store. If someone else opens a dessert shop,

As long as our service and quality can keep up, the stores that open later can only follow us and cannot steal our business. "

"Daughter, did you get that electric oven just to use when you open the new store?"

Liu Huizhen watched Lin Qingyan finish the bun in her hand, and pushed the plate of buns in front of her.

Lin Qingyan picked up another bun and continued:

"Yes, the amount of food that can be baked in an electric oven is much higher than that in a baking oven. We make cakes during the New Year and other festivals.

Some people buy them as gifts, and some people who don’t normally eat them will buy more during the New Year and other festivals. By that time, we can’t bake much in a day using the oven, and even if we hire a few more people, it may not be enough.”

Liu Huizhen took Lin Qingyan's words to heart.

"Okay, I'll get the oven to the dessert shop today."

"Mom, remember to find someone to go with you. It's a big place and you can't do it alone. Or I'll come back in the evening and go with you."

Lin Qingyan finished the last bun and then got up to go to school.

Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan slept in the clothing store last night, and they went directly to school from the store.
