Chapter 152 Opening a Fruit Shop
Deputy Director Xu fell silent. The steel plant has a lot of feelings for the special window.
Besides, Shen Qingyue's price is not expensive. It can be regarded as a welfare for the factory staff.
There is no one selling watermelons outside, and even if there were, it might not be possible to get them at this price.
Deputy Director Xu was somewhat dissatisfied with Chef Liu.
He really did what the logistics director said. He was not an easy person to deal with. Before, he wanted to use the free service to challenge Shen Qingyue.
We agreed even though the factory was in such a tight financial situation.
Now I can’t stand Shen Qingyue selling fruits at that window.
Deputy Director Xu also began to feel irritated, and after a while he said, “I’ll go talk to Miss Shen later.”
Chef Liu also keenly sensed the tension in the atmosphere. He didn't want to stay any longer. "Okay, Deputy Director Xu, since you're busy, I won't bother you anymore."
…
When Shen Qingyue heard what Deputy Director Xu said, she readily agreed.
But this time, Deputy Director Xu did not protect Chef Liu. He told Shen Qingyue about his complaint, meaning that she should be more careful.
The fruit greenhouse at Shen Qingyue's home is a four-season fruit greenhouse. There will be fruit for the next few months.
As for the area where she can fill this gap in the market, she doesn’t really care whether she can sell it in the steel mill.
Shen Qingyue went out and bought a shop right in the county center. It was surrounded by government offices and people working nearby. She put up a sign and called it Yueyue Fruit Shop.
Just put a few shelves inside and you can open for business.
The next day, Shen Qingyue put out watermelons, strawberries, cantaloupes, and other items. She asked Sister Ying to sell them and assigned her two assistants.
Open for business directly.
Many people see people coming in and out moving shelves and fruits when they come to work in the morning.
Especially big watermelons. When summer comes, I don’t crave anything else but to eat a bite of this refreshing and heat-relief watermelon.
There are also cantaloupes, which are really fragrant from ten miles away and exude the aroma of strawberries. They are the best varieties currently on the market.
Some people work nearby. When they open the window, they can smell the fruity fragrance when the breeze blows in.
Her family not only sells fruits, but also sells iced sour plum soup.
"Oh, there's a new fruit shop. I haven't even had a break yet. I looked through the window.
"Who will accompany me for a walk during lunch break?"
"I'll go with you."
"Wait for me."
There was no store selling fruits on the entire street, but it became popular as soon as it opened.
The employees of the steel plant are rich and have very picky tastes. Even the sour plum soup they like is very popular here.
You can add ice cubes to the sour plum soup. The original sour and sweet taste will be even better with the addition of ice cubes.
Just like freshly cooked.
Everyone loves to drink it, but not everyone wants to spend time making it. Now there is this.
If you don't have a pitcher, you can put it in a plastic bag and tear off a corner to drink. If you have a pitcher, you can pour it into the pitcher. The cool aroma spreads over, and it is really refreshing to take a sip.
Sister Ying said to the others, "If you don't have enough to drink, you can get a thermos. It even has ice chips in it for the evening."
The little girls were immediately interested: "Okay, I'll bring a kettle tomorrow, and you have to prepare some sour plum soup."
Sister Ying said, "Don't worry." This is made with sour plum paste.
Then comes the fruit!
Those who could work in the county center came from well-off families. They were generous with their food and drink. These little girls would buy two or three boxes of slightly more expensive strawberries without blinking an eye.
The watermelons are also bought whole.
Today, Shen Qingyue brought several hundred kilograms of melons, a dozen large watermelons, and more than a hundred boxes of strawberries. She had originally planned to sell them all in one day, but who would have thought that they were all sold out in one afternoon.
The people who bought the fruit were covered in the fragrance of the fruit, which was unbearable. I washed a box of strawberries and put them in my mouth. The sweet and rich strawberry fragrance hit me.
And the strawberries are big.
It’s so delicious that compared to the fruit, the real food has to take a back seat.
She ate with such concentration that she could feel the sweetness of the strawberry in every bite. It was the sweetest and most fragrant strawberry she had ever tasted.
Everyone in the office couldn't help but drool: "Are these strawberries delicious?"
"It's delicious." After finishing the meal, the aroma of strawberries filled my hands and mouth.
Strawberries instantly became her favorite fruit.
"Then I'll buy some too," said others in the office.
The little girl waved her hand and said, "Don't go, I just caught the last two boxes." Fortunately, she was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
The people in the office hesitated: "Xiao Li, why don't you sell this box to me?" She felt greedy when she smelled the fragrance of strawberries in the office.
The other party said, "I'll buy it tomorrow and return it to you."
Xiao Li thought about it for a moment and agreed. With stable jobs like theirs, colleagues tend to be together for life. Since they'd asked, it was natural for her to agree.
Then I took it over, and my female colleague took a bite. Her eyes widened as well. She had a strong willpower, so she ate one and hid it away. Such a delicious strawberry, she wanted to take it home and enjoy it all by herself.
With a smile on her face, it was true that these strawberries were the most delicious she had ever tasted.
…
The county has promoted this newly opened fruit shop a lot.
Those who bought it were all craving it. They had money, but they couldn't buy this kind of fresh fruit. Now, with the new fruit shops, they can buy it without restraint.
Just eat it because it’s fresh.
Besides, the fruits in Shen Qingyue's house are not expensive compared to those in the provincial capital or the city, and the quality of the fruits is still top-notch.
Today's fruit sold out within a day. Before tomorrow even starts, many people are already making plans to grab tomorrow's fruit.
Shen Qingyue opened a fruit shop. The people in the county were happy, but the people at the steel plant were dumbfounded.
Especially those from wealthy families, they would tell their families at the factory to buy a big watermelon for dinner.
But when he rushed to the big window of Shen Qingyue, he didn't see the big watermelon or any other fruits.
"Are you not selling fruit today?" the diners all asked.
"Well, I won't sell it."
"Why? I still need to buy some." The old customer was a little annoyed and came for the fruit.
Shen Qingyue is not here. She is helping Sister Ying run the store. Only Sister Chunxing, Chef Li, and Manager Jiang Yu are here, and they are also busy.
Jiang Yu said, "Someone complained. They're not allowed to sell watermelons. They said the cafeteria can only sell food."
Oh, when the old diners heard this, they were really furious.
"Bullshit, who is that? You are so mean. If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. But you are stopping others from buying it." The old diner said loudly.
When the others heard this, they were also very angry.
Even if they don't buy it now, they hope that the fruit will always be there so they can buy it when they want.
But now there is nothing left to buy, and I don’t even have the right to choose. I am a little angry.
There were constant shouts of curses in the factory.
"Who is it? Don't let me find this person, or I'll have a good chat with him."
"Exactly. How can such a person be in our group? He's like a stink bug in the gutter. The thought of him makes me sick."
"That's right!"
Chef Liu's face at the small window turned red and white.
The apprentice also asked: "Chef Liu, is it very hot? Why are you sweating all the time?"
Chef Liu coughed dryly, "It's hot, you guys get busy. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air." Then he ran off. I really couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, my ears were burning.
