Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

340 chapter

Luo Mei reported for work very quickly. The original plan was to give the girl two more days to rest and let her go to the store on Wednesday. Unexpectedly, Luo Mei took the initiative to ask to start work one day earlier, so Gu Tongwan had no choice but to agree.

The store's business hours have been changed to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in winter, so Luo Mei only needs to arrive at the store half an hour in advance. However, Luo Mei arrived at 7 a.m. because it was her first day at work and Gu Tongwan did not give Luo Mei the store's instructions. After Luo Mei arrived, she could only stand under the awning and stamp her feet to keep her body warm.

The temperature today has reached minus 28 degrees Celsius, and there was even a heavy snowfall last night. Fortunately, the snow stopped at 5:30 in the morning, so after 7:30 you could occasionally see pedestrians rushing to work on the road.

Everyone's winter attire is similar, but Jiangcheng is originally a riverside city, and it is also in the south with hot and humid weather. Many people have not fully adapted to the sudden temperature of dozens of degrees below zero. Therefore, before the temperature continues to drop, many companies have switched to working from home or have taken the Spring Festival holiday in advance.

Luo Mei changed into a coat today, and wore a thick blue quilted cotton jacket on the outside. The color was not very new, and you could even feel a layer of white on the outside. It must be an old piece of clothing that she had worn for many years. She wore a brown woolen hat on her head. The hat was one that Zhou Ruchu knitted for each of her daughters at the end of last year. Her ears were too cold to bear when she went out today, otherwise Luo Mei would have been reluctant to take it out and wear it.

Gu Tongwan arrived at the store at 7:50. She was a little surprised when she saw Luo Mei. She remembered that she had told Luo Mei to arrive at 8 o'clock last night, but she didn't expect the girl to arrive early.

After parking the car, Gu Tongwan walked up to open the door and asked, "Didn't I tell you to arrive at 8 o'clock? Why are you here so early?" Judging from Luo Mei's red face due to the cold, the girl had probably been waiting for a while.

"I'm used to coming early, and I don't want to be late on my first day at work." Luo Mei smiled embarrassedly, still feeling a little embarrassed and nervous.

After opening the door, Gu Tongwan quickly turned on the two air heaters in the store and moved one of the small solar heaters under the cash register so that his feet would feel more comfortable in a while.

"I remember you said during the previous interview that you had experience as a salesperson. Do you see the baskets next to you? They are all the goods that were brought in last night. You will organize the shelves later. Put the vegetables and fruits according to their types, and then check the labels. Here is a list of goods. You can check the corresponding prices according to the list. The discounted goods are on the last page." After briefly explaining the content of the job, Gu Tongwan sat at the cashier counter to process the income during this period.

Luo Mei worked very hard. When Gu Tongwan checked the computer, she saw that Luo Mei had already started to organize the shelves. Not only did she carefully arrange the items on the shelves according to the requirements on the list, she even re-planned more suitable locations. In less than two hours, everything in the entire store looked brighter and clearer than before.

Even Gu Tongwan had to admit that Luo Mei's level of stocking was much better than his own.

It was nearly 11 o'clock in the morning and people living in the community had already started to come in to buy groceries. It was winter and everyone was too lazy to go out, so they often bought enough for three to five days. So although the customer flow in the store was not high, in fact everyone's consumption level was not low.

Luo Mei originally thought that the business of the fruit and vegetable store would be average, but she didn't expect that the first customer would buy nearly a thousand dollars worth of vegetables at once. This was enough for Luo Mei's family's food expenses for nearly one and a half months.

"Madam, is this the new salesperson? She looks very energetic. You can finally take a break. Otherwise, it will be so tiring to run the store alone." The customer couldn't help but make a little joke when checking out.

"Yes, a new recruit." Gu Tongwan replied casually.

"Well, I think she's pretty good, much better than the previous one. The previous one was too lazy and ignored people. The girl I replaced this time is very energetic and cute."

Luo Mei, who was standing aside, also heard the conversation between the two. She felt a little embarrassed and pretended to tidy up the shelves. But in fact, she also figured out that there should have been another salesperson in the store before, but he was probably fired because of his bad work attitude. This made her a little nervous, fearing that she would not do her job well and be fired.

After the first customer left, Luo Mei saw many customers coming to the store to shop. These people should be residents nearby, and they seemed to be regular customers. They would chat with Gu Tongwan while buying groceries. Luo Mei also noticed that everyone did not feel sorry for buying things at all, and they spent hundreds of dollars.

The prices of vegetables in the store were already ridiculous enough for Luo Mei to think, but she didn't expect the residents here to be willing to buy them. Even if they lived in the community near the administrative center, it was too extravagant to buy things like that, right? Was this the difference between the classes?

Before Luo Mei could think about it, she saw Gu Tongwan said to her: "I have to go out for a while, please look after the store."

She moved quite quickly. Before Luo Mei could react, she saw someone going around to the back of the store to get the car, and the pickup truck quickly disappeared into the street.
