Li Xinghe was helpless, "I just haven't eaten prawns before. I'm not a fool, okay?"
Opening the second box, it was golden and shiny... uh, sweet potatoes? "Is this a sweet potato?" she asked in a low voice, uncertainly.
"Yeah, it's a melon that can be pulled out. But after a long time, I don't know if it can still be pulled out." Mo Bei just told Secretary Wu to remember to buy a dessert that girls love to eat, but this dish is really not suitable for packing.
Sure enough, it's sweet potato. City people really don't mind it. How can it be made like this? "Sweet potatoes can be made like this. It's really like wild boars eating fine bran." After saying this, Li Xinghe realized that this was a bit strange.
Question, "Well, I'm not saying that we are pigs. What I mean is that this method is fine chaff, and mountain pigs are sweet potatoes!"
Mo Bei laughed out loud for the first time. He could see her desire for the prawns. He stretched out his hand and said, "I'll get them. You eat first."
Li Xinghe couldn't wait any longer. She opened her disposable chopsticks, put a prawn on the rice in front of her, and started to eat happily.
"Eat the shredded sweet potato first and see if you can still pull out the shreds."
I pulled off the skin of the shrimp and stuffed the entire shrimp meat into my mouth to chew. Then I tried to pick up the shredded melon. Not to mention the shredded melon, I couldn't pick it up and it was completely stuck together.
Mo Bei saw it and saw that this dish was not suitable for packaging. Next time he would take her to a restaurant to eat it freshly cooked.
Soon all the dishes were opened, and there were six dishes for two people. In addition to carrotted sweet potatoes and boiled prawns, there were also braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, pickled eggplant strips, and stir-fried rapeseed.
"Is this the world of rich people? You rich people's working lunch is really to celebrate the New Year every day!" Li Xinghe didn't care about chatting about sales, and the translucent braised pork was still waiting in line for her.
Mo Bei, who had just been called 'you rich people', replied seriously, "You don't eat like this every day."
Mo Bei is the kind of person who has a very weak desire for food. But when he watches her eating, he actually likes to eat. She eats very well, as if she is eating with old friends naturally, without any awkwardness at all.
Mo Bei put down his chopsticks after eating half a box of rice, "Are you full?" Li Xinghe asked vaguely while eating.
"Well, you eat slowly." When they ate together for the first time, he couldn't tell how much she would eat, so he put down his chopsticks when he was seventy-seven full and left the rest of the food to her.
Seeing that he was full, she felt relieved. She turned on the power and finally finished the six dishes. After taking the last bite of the braised pork soup mixed with rice and drinking the last sip of tea, she finally put down her chopsticks.
"There are a few pieces left on the shredded melon. I really can't eat any more. It's such a sin."
"You can take this sweet potato away and eat it when you are hungry in the afternoon. Then you will not be guilty."
"Then I really ate it and took it." She was really not polite as she said that. She covered the half box of shredded sweet potatoes and put it in front of her, ready to take it away later.
"I asked the people at the Ministry of Commerce. Your store already has a stable customer flow. I just don't know your planting costs. Will you have difficulty paying rent next month?"
"Well, no problem. Starting next month, I can pay the rent normally according to the contract."
"If there is no problem with sales and funds, I think your store has other problems. You should really hire a clerk. What do you think?"
"Yes, sometimes I'm a little busy, but let's talk about it later." She lowered her head and played with the handle of the ceramic cup with her fingers.
Mo Bei had no position to interfere with the management of her store. How they ran it was their own business, but seeing her working so hard every day somehow made him irritable from time to time.
He looked at her hands on the handle of the ceramic cup. The sun was shining at noon, and the traces of frostbite and cracks on her hands were very obvious. He knew that there must be more than one callus on the palms of those hands.
Her hands were those of someone who had been doing farm work for a long time. They were completely different from those of a young and beautiful girl. "Is there anyone there to help you with the planting?"
"Yes." She didn't lie. There was indeed someone who helped her, but it wasn't a human being.
"Before hiring a store clerk, if you are overwhelmed with work, you can tell me and I will arrange for a staff member to help you look at it for a while."
She did not refuse blindly, "Yeah, but in this case, I have to give them some commission on how much things are sold. After all, they receive your salary, so I can't let others help for free."
Mo Bei nodded, "You can do whatever you want, but even if you don't give me money, they won't say anything. I asked them to go to the first floor to experience selling goods, but it was too late for them to be happy."
Li Xinghe glanced at him, "Is this the face of a capitalist?"
"Thank you. I already have two names in just half an hour. I was a rich man when I was having dinner, and now I am a capitalist. I am here to provide jobs for everyone and lead everyone to get rich together."
"Yes, yes, yes. If everything is okay, I will go downstairs first?"
"Do you have a mobile phone?" Mo Bei suddenly asked.
"of course not."
She looked at the coffee table and saw his black flip phone, Motorola Tac, and bus station advertisements. She could only set up a stall at the night market a few days ago, did he think she could have that?
"Then give me your pager number."
"I don't have a pager either."
"Why don't you buy one? Pagers are not expensive, for you."
You don't care whether I buy it or not, and no one is looking for me. After complaining, she replied, "Boss Mo, even if there is a pager, I can't use the pager to call you if I have something to do with you."
Well, she's right.
Li Xinghe took the remaining half box of shredded sweet potatoes, thanked him again for letting her eat for nothing, and went downstairs back to his shop.
That afternoon, one of the office phones at the supermarket service desk on the first floor was moved to the cashier. The internal extension number was posted next to the phone, only a few steps away from Li Xinghe.
Of course, Li Xinghe never used that phone, because she brought her mother's loving lunch every day in the following days. Her mother was recently obsessed with a TV show called Learn to Cook with Me. She was also keen on going to nearby Feng
I bought some fresh ingredients from Le Night Market, so I have a lot of new dishes at home.
Li Xinghe was also happy to let his mother enjoy shopping and groceries, and her space began to be fully utilized to provide profitable products.
The only worry these days is her precious space.
She has been waiting for the space to become larger so that she can expand the scale and breed other animals and plants. But the more impatient she is, the more useless it becomes, and the space has remained in its current state.
Maybe the further back you go, the more difficult it will be to upgrade the space.
In addition, she did not sit still and started to conduct experiments on the balcony. She caught two chickens in the space and raised them on the balcony to see if the chickens hatched and grew up in the space would lay eggs in the outside world and see the quality of the eggs.
Will the level continue to be maintained?
The same goes for wild vegetables. The wild vegetables grown in the space also have a unique flavor. After raising the seedlings in the space, she moved them to a row of small pots on the balcony.
If the test is successful and the quality and flavor of the products grown in the space can really be maintained, then in the future, seedlings can be propagated in the space and mass-produced outside the space.
In this case, she can let go and pursue her career.
When she got up early, she stretched and ran to the balcony without having time to change out of her pajamas. She received four fresh eggs, which were very good and the yield had not decreased. She checked the wild vegetables and found that they were growing vigorously without any problems, so she felt relieved.
