Chapter 69 Fine Tea!
Jiang Ling got up very early and went to the supermarket counter to buy lipsticks.
She bought a hundred lipsticks yesterday and came back again today. The sales assistant was surprised when she saw her.
Jiang Ling used the same excuse as yesterday, saying that the company was having an event and she bought them as gifts.
Jiang Ling had already bought 100 lipsticks yesterday, and their counter hadn't had time to restock, leaving only 200, which Jiang Ling bought up completely.
The group-buying price was reduced to 50 yuan per piece, saving a lot of money.
Then she bought foundation, makeup remover, and moisturizer, ordering one hundred sets of each.
The store manager was overjoyed; the monthly sales target had been met.
Although Madam Song had already ordered enough goods, Jiang Ling really didn't want to get up early every day to go and buy more.
With gritted teeth, she went to two other brand counters and bought two hundred lipsticks and one hundred sets of cosmetics from each.
The managers of all three stores personally delivered the goods to the customers' homes.
Jiang Ling also bought a lot of food.
After finishing all that, it was already noon.
Jiang Ling was exhausted and never wanted to take on such a large number of orders again!
After all, she's all alone!
After finishing all that, I opened the wooden door; it was the morning of the fifth day.
The morning air was fresh, carrying a touch of morning dew.
As soon as the door opened, a commotion of shouts and noises erupted outside.
"Dear fellow villagers, please don't rush. Please line up in an orderly fashion. Don't worry, our restaurant has a large demand, and we will accept all deliveries!"
"Make way, make way, let the children go first!"
When did a market turn into a market in front of her house?
Jiang Ling peeked outside.
There was a long queue outside, filled with villagers carrying baskets and crates filled with fresh fruits and vegetables.
Several familiar faces greeted Jiang Ling warmly when they saw the grocery store open.
Good morning, Miss Jiang!
"Miss Jiang, are you opening your shop today?"
"Did we disturb Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Ling stepped out of the shop. "Good morning, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Qian! What are you all doing?"
"There's a newly opened restaurant in town. They said they heard our village's fruits and vegetables were growing well, so they sent people to collect them!"
Jiang Ling glanced at the queue and saw several out-of-towners at the front weighing their fruits and vegetables. "Oh, that's a good thing. This way, the villagers won't have to rush to town to sell their vegetables so early in the morning."
"That's right, it also saves more time for working in the fields."
"And this merchant is quite honest; he makes just as much as we would if we sold it in town ourselves."
Just then, a young man in fine clothes jogged over from the front of the group.
As she got closer, Jiang Ling finally saw his face clearly; it was Lu Qian!
Lu Qian approached her, clasped his hands in a greeting, and said with a hearty smile, "Good morning, Miss Jiang! I saw that there is a lot of space in front of your shop, so I borrowed it to store fruits and vegetables. If you mind, I will have them move it elsewhere right away!"
Jiang Ling realized, "Oh, so you're the owner of that new restaurant in town?"
"No, my father is, I'm just a young master."
Jiang Ling smiled slightly: "As the young master, it is already very kind of you, Young Master Lu, to personally go to the countryside to collect goods."
Lu Qian smiled awkwardly, "It's mainly because the manager of Xiangbaoge caused trouble last time, and I'm afraid he'll come back. It's too quiet in front of Miss Jiang's door, so I thought I'd add some liveliness here. If Miss Jiang finds it too noisy, I can move to the back."
Jiang Ling's shop is indeed located in the middle of the village and is quite close to the fields. It would be very convenient for the villagers to harvest vegetables here.
"I don't mind, it's fine. I like lively atmospheres. By the way, has the injury on your wrist healed, Young Master Lu?"
Lu Qian rolled up his sleeves, revealing his wrist, which had already healed.
"Miss Jiang's medicine is truly effective; she was completely healed yesterday. I've been collecting fruits and vegetables here for five days now, and I haven't seen her open the door. I was worried that she might have been frightened by what happened that day."
"No, I went to buy some goods."
Purchasing goods? Could it be pharmaceuticals?
Lu Qian's heart tightened, but he smiled and said, "If you need to buy goods next time, you can ask me for help. I'm free anyway, so I can help you move things."
Jiang Ling laughed and said, "It's just some rouge and powder, nothing heavy. I can handle it by myself."
It turned out to be just rouge and face powder.
Lu Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, it wasn't medicine, or he would have missed out.
During the conversation, the number of people in the group dwindled.
After exchanging their money, the villagers rushed off to work in the fields.
"Young Master Lu, you must be tired after a busy morning. Please come in and have a cup of tea to rest."
Lu Qian immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Great! I've been hearing from the villagers that Miss Jiang's tea is exceptional. After being here for so many days, I'm finally in for a treat."
In fact, Lu Qian had been keeping a close eye on the shop's every move these past few days.
He only pretended to be diligent and joined the vegetable-collecting team after he suddenly saw the shop open.
He waited until his forehead was slightly sweaty before coming over to greet Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling invited him into the shop. "Last time, Young Master Lu helped me so much, and I didn't even get a chance to offer you a cup of tea. I was very impolite."
Lu Qian sat down at the table and chairs near the door.
It was morning, and he had just finished sweating, so Jiang Ling didn't give him anything too cold, only a bottle of slightly chilled iced tea.
Lu Qian also brought two helpers to help harvest the vegetables. By now, the temporary stalls set up at the entrance had been packed up, and the villagers had all sold their vegetables and gone back to work in the fields.
A worker drove an oxcart to transport fresh vegetables back to the city.
Another, more energetic-looking fellow had already come and stood behind Lu Qian.
Jiang Ling poured two cups of tea and handed them to Li Hong, who looked surprised.
"Miss Jiang, am I also entitled to a share?"
"Of course, everyone who enters the store is my customer."
Li Hong didn't dare to answer and turned to look at Lu Qian.
Seeing that Jiang Ling got along well with the villagers, Lu Qian knew that she didn't have much of a sense of hierarchy.
"Take it if I give it to you, and thank Miss Jiang."
Li Hong accepted the gifts with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Miss Jiang, thank you, young master."
Jiang Ling wasn't new to this era; the social hierarchy and sense of superiority were ingrained in her, so she wasn't surprised after seeing it so many times.
Lu Qian curiously picked up the transparent cup in front of him.
It's both soft and hard, and you can clearly see the liquid flowing inside through the cup wall.
What material could possibly be used to make a cup with such a transparent shape? Even expensive materials like glass couldn't achieve that, right?
Lu Qian gently picked up the cup, not daring to use too much force, because if he did, it would deform.
I could feel the coolness of the cup on my fingertips, and when I brought it close to my nose, I could clearly smell the sweet aroma of the tea.
He brought the rim of the glass to his lips and took a small sip. His eyes lit up!
Fine tea!
The sweet aroma and tea fragrance blend perfectly!
Combined with the icy coolness after being soaked in ice, it's simply the perfect way to beat the summer heat!
