Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 175: First Order Success (Additional Update 1)

Zhou Limei then looked at the person who was talking to her with a smile, starting her social mode as Boss Zhou.

Seeing more and more people coming, some even picked it up and looked at it. Finally, Zhou Limei said to Lin Qingyan:

"Give it to them first, and give Tongtong's next time you come."

The first woman immediately took a lantern and asked Lin Qingyan: "Sister, how much is this one?"

Lin Qingyan glanced at Zhou Limei. Zhou Limei knew that if she was asked to set the price, it would definitely be very low, so she took over the conversation directly.

"This was handmade by my uncle. It's not a product made on an assembly line. Look at this lantern and the joints. You can tell it's not made on an assembly line." Zhou Limei picked up the bamboo-woven little tiger and introduced it.

"Just tell me how much it is. Please help me, kid, after school." The first woman interrupted Zhou Limei.

Zhou Limei was not angry either, she just smiled and said to her: "10 yuan each."

"Boss Zhou, this price is fair."

Lin Qingyan actually wanted to sell them for 5 yuan each. She bought them from Hu Zi's father for 2 cents each, and customized 20 for 100 yuan. She then sold them here for 20 yuan each.

Although the prices on both sides are different, she still finds it difficult to get used to the gap.

"Give me one, the kid should like it."

"10 yuan is not expensive. It's hand-woven. The bamboo has not been processed. It's safe."

"Yes, this bamboo is not painted like in many stores."

"I want one too."

"I want one too."

Lin Qingyan brought a total of 10 gadgets. Except for the little tiger in Zhou Limei's hand, the other 9 were bought. Those who didn't buy one looked at the tiger in Zhou Limei's hand.

"Wow! This tiger is so cute and lifelike. Please sell it to me!" said the woman as she reached out to take it.

Seeing Zhou Limei about to let go, Lin Qingyan quickly stepped forward, took the little tiger in her hand, and said to the woman:

"I'm really sorry. These were originally meant for her children. Now nine have been given away, and I can't give away the last one as well. Otherwise, I will be too embarrassed to face the children later."

The people around her couldn't really persuade her to give up the last basket, but two old ladies were very interested in the empty basket in her hand.

"Girl, are you selling this basket?"

Lin Qingyan didn't expect that the basket had a buyer, so she was very happy and said to them directly:

"Aunt, this basket can be sold. It was woven by my uncle himself. You can take a look at the quality."

The old lady smiled and said to her, "This basket looks like the one we used at home when we were little. We haven't seen this shape for many years. Buy one and take it back home. How much is it, girl?"

"Auntie, this is 20 yuan each." Lin Qingyan directly set a high price.

However, she didn't know that the price was actually not expensive. Even the handicrafts on the assembly line were more expensive than the price she quoted. The two old ladies were very happy to pay.

After the items were sold, someone asked Lin Qingyan, "Can you bring some more tomorrow? My kids like these little things, too."

Lin Qingyan thought about Hu Zi's father's speed and answered hesitantly:

"I'm not sure if uncle can knit so many in one day. If not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow. This is hand-knitted, so the speed is slow. Only about ten can be knitted a day."

After hearing Lin Qingyan's answer, several people around her also said to her, "Then you can come the day after tomorrow, we want one too."

Lin Qingyan nodded and agreed, "Okay, then let's go back and ask uncle to make as many as possible."

"Each of these looks great. I want to buy a set for my child. The semester is almost over, so I'd like to give him a reward."

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered. These 10 are all different. A set would be great for kids to play with, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it to someone else as a gift."

"Yes, of course it's better to give someone a set as a gift."

After several people discussed it, Lin Qingyan finally felt that her idea of ​​helping Hu Zi's family had not failed.

After all, this is not food but a handicraft. It's okay to buy it once. It's hard for people to buy it a second time. However, Lin Qingyan is not discouraged. She will just try her best to help.

Just as she was thinking, Tongtong's class came out of the school gate. Zhou Limei pulled her forward and said to her, "Tongtong is out."

Tongtong, who was still in the class team, obviously saw them. She became even more excited when she saw Lin Qingyan and hurried over.

"Sister Qingyan, why did you come to pick me up today?"

"Sister Qingyan has just finished her work and is not busy today, so she came to pick up our Tongtong." Lin Qingyan quickly hugged Tongtong who threw herself into her arms.

Zhou Limei looked at them and asked Tongtong with some jealousy, "Tongtong, you only saw your sister Qingyan, but not your mother?"

Tongtong, a smart little kid, leaned over to Lin Qingyan's ear and said, "Sister, I'm going to accompany my mother first. She's jealous. I'll come and accompany you after I coax her."

Lin Qingyan smiled and nodded. When Tongtong walked to Zhou Limei, she stretched out her hand to her, "Mom, Tongtong wants you to hug her."

Zhou Limei picked her up and took her to the parking lot. Lin Qingyan then remembered the little tiger in her hand and hurriedly handed it to Tongtong.

"Tongtong, here, my sister gave it to you, see if you like it."

"Wow! A little tiger! Mom, this looks a lot like the little tiger in the zoo."

Tongtong took the little tiger handed over by Lin Qingyan, her eyes curved with smile, and after looking at it for a while, she formally thanked Lin Qingyan.

"Sister Qingyan, thank you. I like the little tiger you gave me."

Lin Qingyan really likes Tongtong and feels that she is more and more sensible.

"Tongtong, as long as you like it, I'll give you other shaped animals in a few days."

Lin Qingyan's words made Tongtong even happier. "Sister Qingyan, is that true? Are there other shapes of these little animals?"

"It's true. Sister will definitely not lie to you."

"Sister, do you have puppies or bunnies?"

"Does Tongtong like bunnies?"

"Yes, I like rabbits and puppies the most."

"Then I'll have someone weave a little rabbit and a little dog for you."

They talked as they walked, and now they had reached the car. Zhou Limei opened the door, and Lin Qingyan and Tongtong sat in the back.

The two continued chatting.

Zhou Limei saw the two people chatting happily in the rearview mirror. She didn't ask them what they wanted to eat. She took them directly to a restaurant they often visited and had a simple meal.

After dinner, they returned to the store. They originally wanted Tongtong to take a break at noon, but after seeing Lin Qingyan, she refused to rest at all.

"Tongtong, Sister Qingyan will accompany you upstairs to rest for a while, okay?" Lin Qingyan had no choice but to suggest.

"Okay, okay. Sister Qingyan and I are going to have a rest. Mom, you clean up the shop. Remember to call us when it's time to go to school." Tongtong directly instructed Zhou Liming.

Zhou Limei felt sad and helpless, and finally drove the two of them upstairs in disgust.
