Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 140 Booking

Lin Qingyan was stunned by her gaze and looked at her in confusion.

Zhou Limei screamed in her heart, "Ah, ah, ah, Lin Qingyan, this silly girl, why did you ask her to cut watermelon for these people? This is the first time she has eaten such delicious watermelon.

And she just said a watermelon costs one or two hundred yuan, which seems to be too cheap, no, the price must be higher."

She certainly couldn't say what was in her heart in front of everyone and could only keep it to herself.

What she was thinking didn't affect her eating speed. This was the first time she ate so fast.

The women couldn't understand what Zhou Limei wanted to say, they just watched her eating non-stop.

Hengheng’s mother was the first to pick up the watermelon and started eating it directly. After taking a bite, she didn’t say anything and just lowered her head to eat.

The remaining women looked at each other, then reached out to take the watermelon and eat it.

Even the woman who had just been complaining kept eating with her head down.

When Lin Qingyan finished eating the piece of watermelon in her hand, she looked up again and found that all the watermelons in the two plates were gone. The watermelon was not small, weighing about ten pounds.

Zhou Limei cut it in half and put it on two plates. In a short while, both plates were eaten up.

After eating the watermelon, the women slowly sat back and pretended to wipe their mouths with a piece of paper.

Without even wiping her lips, Hengheng's mother said to Lin Qingyan beside her: "Sister Qingyan, I want to buy a watermelon! 200, right? Can I scan the code?"

Before Lin Qingyan could react, she pointed directly at the cashier counter at the back and said, "Yes, there is money at the cashier counter."

Amid the astonishment of the group of women, Hengheng's mother scanned the code and paid 200 yuan.

The woman who just said that Zhou Limei couldn't afford to eat melons couldn't help but frown:

"200 yuan for a watermelon? That's too expensive! No matter how delicious the watermelon is, it's not worth the price!"

Several women who originally wanted to imitate Hengheng’s mother hesitated.

Zhou Limei only realized what was happening in her watermelon when she heard the sound of the payment being received on her mobile phone. She quickly stood up and said to them:

"Thank you for your kindness. Don't rush to pay. We don't have many watermelons. We only get about 3 a day. These are for the opening tomorrow..."

Before she finished speaking, the women who had been hesitating just now ran to scan the code to pay.

Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei were stunned by what they saw.

"Sister Zhou, what are they doing?" Lin Qingyan looked at Zhou Limei stupidly.

Zhou Limei covered her forehead and said, "I don't know either!"

He asked Lin Qingyan in distress, "Can you get some more watermelons? I'm afraid they'll grab them all and there won't be any left when we open tomorrow!"

Lin Qingyan leaned over to her ear and whispered, "I'll go back and get some later."

Zhou Limei rolled her eyes when she heard this and continued to say to the women:

"Everyone, don't be anxious. There are only three watermelons a day. I just ate one. There are two left. These are for the opening tomorrow. I can't sell them to you now!"

"You can sell it when you open tomorrow or today, why can't you sell it now!" a woman said to her dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, sister, my shop is opening, so I must have some things, I can't have an empty shop when it opens!

Don't rush to pay! I have nothing to give you even if you pay!" Zhou Limei said while winking at Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan understood and said loudly: "Sister Zhou, what should we do? We can only have 3 watermelons a day.

There are five sisters here. One was just cut off and Hengheng’s mother bought one. There is only one left. What should I do with the other sisters?”

The few who were rushing to pay looked at each other. Yes, after paying, there was nothing given to them, so should they still pay?

Zhou Limei gave her an admiring look.

"I don't know either. They paid us but we didn't give them the money, so we can only refund them. We can't just sell a watermelon and collect a deposit!"

As soon as Zhou Limei finished speaking, a light bulb went off in the people opposite them. Yes, it doesn’t matter if we didn’t buy it today, we can make a reservation!

They are really smart.

"Limei, let's make a reservation. If today's not enough, we'll make a reservation for tomorrow. If tomorrow's not enough, we'll schedule it for the day after tomorrow. Anyway, you have to schedule it for me. I have to buy it."

Several women surrounded Zhou Limei and chattered, asking her to register who had booked what.

Zhou Limei and Lin Qingyan were forced to start accepting reservations before their stores officially opened.

"Limei, don't wait until tomorrow to sell these vegetables. Hurry up and mark the prices. We'll buy some to make lunch."

"Yes, the child has been wanting it since he ate it last time, but you kept saying it was out of stock. Don't tell me it's out of stock today, I've seen it all."

"Yes, after my old lady ate it once, she urged me to buy more every day. I didn't buy it a few days ago, and she thought I deliberately didn't buy it for her. She has been angry these two days. I have to buy some back to appease her!"

"My husband asked me the same question many times!"

Finally, even Hengheng's mother couldn't help but say to Zhou Limei, "How about you move the opening time forward to today?"

Zhou Limei was really overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, feeling both happy and helpless.

Finally, he looked at Lin Qingyan and asked her quietly, "Can you get some more food?"

Lin Qingyan nodded.

Seeing her nod, Zhou Limei understood that she could get some more food.

So he said to the women,

"The opening time has been set. It's tomorrow. If you are free tomorrow, remember to come and support us! Today, if you need any of the dishes here, you can buy them in advance. I'll make an exception for you."

When the women heard this, they didn't hesitate at all and went straight to the shelves to buy every kind of vegetable.

"Why do you take a little of everything?"

"Try to taste which ones you like. These vegetables are so fresh that you can keep them in the refrigerator for two days if you don't finish them."

"There are many people in my family. If we have four dishes for one meal, we will have eight dishes a day. I buy a little bit of each and we don't have to repeat ourselves."

"You're right, this isn't much at all!"

"Yeah, there weren't many."

Several people were picking vegetables while chatting.

"Let's not go too far. The store will open tomorrow. We can't buy all of these!" Hengheng's mother reminded.

Lin Qingyan and Zhou Limei had conflicted expressions on their faces as they looked at the women, who bought half of their few vegetables and left the other half for her to use when she opened her business tomorrow.

Zhou Limei forced a smile and said, "How about you buy less and come back tomorrow? This dish is not cheap!"

One of the women glared at her and asked, "Which of us is short of this little money?"

"Sister, sister, you are my real sister. I know you all have money, but we haven't decided on the price yet."

Zhou Limei was really anxious at this moment. She was happy if she could sell the vegetables, but the price had not been decided yet and half of the vegetables had been picked. She was so upset that she had no tears to cry!
