You must work hard!
A Yue!
She regrouped.
Yep.
Although this job is far less profitable than in Tokyo, at least she lives comfortably in Otaru.
This is the high school she wants to go to.
Here are her good friends.
There are people here who are willing to watch shark movies with her and listen to music with the same headphones!
The most important thing is that this place also carries her new dream.
Jiu Huayue stretched out her hand and pulled the short-brimmed hat on her forehead. Seeing a guest coming, she immediately clasped her hands together and greeted the guest with a smile.
"Hello, customer! Do you need to buy some shredded squid? This is our store's promotional product this quarter. You can try it for free now."
call.
Seeing the crowd slowly dispersing, Jiuhuayue took a deep breath.
The results of the morning are not optimistic.
Less than 50 bags were sold.
How to complete the task of delivering 200 bags?
Most of the customers who buy squid strips are men. Some are almost 50 years old.
Most of these uncles came over to watch her because she was pretty, and would buy a bag based on her attitude.
It’s no big deal for those uncles who were attracted by her looks to buy things normally. After all, this is work. The supervisor also said that no matter what kind of customers they are, they must be greeted with a smile.
But some men would just keep staring at her face. She is taller than the average girl.
I would deliberately ask her to introduce the product for a long time, but in the end I would have no intention of buying it.
Jiu Huayue was too lazy to say anything to this kind of person, so she just put on a stern face and asked him to leave.
Even though these guys would curse and even leave with a gloomy face, they also threatened to complain about themselves and the supermarket.
But Jiuhuayue is not afraid, she doesn't care about any rules.
This kind of disrespectful guy doesn't deserve respect.
At worst, she would just continue to receive complaints. Anyway, she was used to being scolded by her supervisor in the first few days.
You can have less money, but you cannot have less dignity.
This is the only thing she is not willing to compromise on.
As for female customers, except for a few young women, most of the older housewives don't seem to like me.
But housewives are the main force in weekend supermarkets.
Jiu Huayue didn't quite understand why people of the housewife age group avoided her as if she were an evil spirit.
She had never been treated like this at school.
Ugh.
Now it is difficult for both men and women to please each other, so they can only rely on children to sell squid strips.
Am I not suitable to be a salesperson?
Let’s sell a few more and then go have lunch. It’s noon now and most of the customers in the supermarket have gone for lunch, so there are fewer people.
Although we sold less today.
But I can still use the money I earn to buy some vegetables and make delicious food for the uncle.
Come to think of it, should I bring a gift for the uncle?
He took such good care of me during the last tripartite meeting. I haven't thanked him properly with a gift yet.
——Cooking for him certainly doesn’t count!
Uncle always makes delicious potato stewed with meat for himself.
Cooking for him is a return gift.
Jiu Huayue thought so in her mind, raised her head and scanned the supermarket to see if there were any new potential customers coming in, until someone behind her seemed to be calling her name.
"Xiao-Xiao Yue.?"
Jiu Huayue knew who it belonged to the moment she heard the voice that was slightly surprised and as light as snow.
She turned around and saw Matsumae Shinchun appear in front of her.
The other person was wearing nice and exquisite brand of daily casual wear, which was a brand that I couldn't afford even if I worked for a year.
Even that pair of open-toed sandals probably took me half a year of work.
Jiu Huayue came back to her senses in time. She didn't know when she started to consider the price of clothes. She never thought about these things before.
While Jiuhuayue was looking at Matsumae Shinchun, Matsumae Shinchun was also looking at her.
The girl looked very surprised
"Xiaoyue, why are you in the supermarket wearing this?"
"Why, is it not possible?" Jiu Huayue said, still keeping her back straight.
"Xiaoyue, are you working?"
"After all, I'm not as rich as your family."
"But Uncle Long Yi wouldn't let you, Xiao Yue, work in the supermarket, right? Uncle Long Yi didn't--"
"Matsumae-san!" Jiuhuayue's tone became unfriendly, "You'd better not mention my father."
Matsumae Shinchun's eyes wavered: "."
The girl felt a little disappointed.
But not much.
Because she knew that Xiaoyue was only strong in words.
She is very soft-hearted, just like the last time she secretly gave herself hand cream.
Thinking of this, Matsumae Shinchun smiled happily and said:
"Is Xiaoyue in trouble now? Can I help?"
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person.
Jiu Huayue didn't hate this good friend from the past.
After all, the past feelings were real. She just doesn't want to have anything to do with her and the Matsumae family anymore.
"No, I can do it myself, I don't need charity from others."
"Xiao Yue, are you a salesperson here?" Matsumae Shinchun walked to the small counter behind her.
The counter is filled with squid shreds, a specialty of Hokkaido.
"So what?" Jiu Huayue turned around and looked at her.
Matsumae Shinharu picked up a bag of squid shreds and examined it.
“The product looks great.”
At the same time, Matsumae Shinchun looked sideways and noticed that there were several boxes of unopened squid strips behind the small counter.
Matsumae Xinchun held a bag of squid shreds in both hands and smiled at Jiuhuayue tenderly and amiably:
"Xiaoyue, can you introduce me to him?"
"Introduction. Do you want to buy?"
"of course."
"."
Everyone who comes is a guest - Jiuhuayue reminded herself so, and then showed Matsumae Xinchun the professional qualities she had acquired while selling squid strips these days.
Anyway, I used all the sales pitch that could be used.
"Zero additives", "no coloring", "zero flavor", "no fishy smell".
Although Jiuhuayue is selling it for the supermarket, these are all true.
The shredded squid tastes great and is of good quality, otherwise the supervisor wouldn't have repeatedly stressed to employees not to steal or eat it.
"Can I try it?" asked Matsumae Shinchun.
"of course."
After Jiuhuayue answered, she was seen picking up a little bit and taking a small sip to taste it.
As expected, the ladies from the Matsumae family eat so elegantly.
The only difference is that the way she eats is exactly the same as how her parents taught her to eat, even the details of the movements are exactly the same.
Jiuhuayue really hates this feeling.
"Very good, Xiaoyue, can you give me a few bags?"
"Okay, how much do you want?"
"One box, please."
"There are forty bags in a box, Matsumae-san, you don't have to buy so much just to take care of me. You can't finish them, and they will only go bad if you keep them for too long."
Matsumae Shinchun shook her head. "If I really am taking care of Xiaoyue on purpose, it won't be a problem for me to buy Xiaoyue's share for the next month."
"Then why did you buy a box?"
"Although I can't finish a box myself, I can give it to Chitose and others." Matsumae Shinchun held the bag in both hands and stood upright.
"."
She said so.
