[lanofsizhui]

Hello everyone,

I am running a store in the farmer's market. It was quite challenging. I have figured out how to sell stock of fruits and vegetables, but I am also learning how to make coffees and teas, and quick meals in my small kitchen.

I never realized running this all by myself can be overwhelming. I am looking for some help with the register or watching the store while I go make deliveries or while I cook. Just a helping hand or two. I don't have much, but the meals are on me.

If interested, feel free to inquiry me. I can make go deliveries as well.

( ...ah. What Wen-reminiscent past time. )


You exert yourself.

[lanofsizhui]

I'm fine. Everything in my store is organic and healthy.

[That's the good news. Good, clean energy to help him keep busy!]

[downswing]

'Organic.' What alternative?

[lanofsizhui]

As a source of energy? It's adequate.

If I strain, I'll rest. That's how I learn to make coffee.

[ Ooooh, Finn likes the idea of a Moonblessed-Owned Grocery Store. ]

Do you sell rice or any grains?

On another note, I don't have any experience running a shop but I'm free to watch the store while you're away. If you have no one else in mind, I mean.

[ While he's a fast learner, he's not totally sure how to work a register. But he is good at security. Not to mention that he's recently discovered that he has way too much free time. ]

[lanofsizhui]

You know, that's funny, but I do not carry rice or grains. I do have rice and grains, but it's for cooking in my kitchen only. But I probably collect those to put into stock, so thank you for the idea

[Finn gave him an idea to stock those soon]

I don't have much experience either, so I learn a little bit hand's on as I work.

But I would like that. You can come in the morning or afternoon and watch the store while I'm cooking. I can teach you.

[Sizhui will send him a text of the coordinates of his store's address. It's in the farmer's market in Lunatia's square]

[hatejakku]

Thank you for considering it. [ The rice, he means. ]

I'll be there in the morning, then. Look forward to meeting you.

text -> action?

[lanofsizhui]

[The next morning, should Finn decided to go find him, he'll find his store in the square where people gathered at the farmer's market. He'll find the young man in front of the store putting a stock of fruits and vegetables into the boxes and using a marker, he labeled the prices by chroma/demichroma.

He's manning the store on his own. Sizhui doesn't dress in all white that is usual of his clan but wearing the modern fashion of the locals, however, he does wear a headband with a cloud motif around his head.]

Young master Lan is very hardworking.

[Now figuring out by the username, he has heard of the fabled Daozhang. So switching to voice/video, so he can be heard but not formally seen]

Daozhang...? Thank you. How do you do? It's my first time running a store. It's the summer season for the Farmer's market, so there's plenty of crops for sale, harvested from the local farms.

[mingyues]

[ well, this xiao xingchen has both eyes and a placid smile, he does not mind the switch. ]

Very well, thank you. I see why that might be a lot of work, unfortunately I am not able to join in and help but perhaps someone else can be of assistance.

[lanofsizhui]

[He smiles in response]

Not too worry, it's all right. I have fun doing so and I found some help!

May I interest you in some strawberries? They get sold out quickly and they're very big and sweet. It's about the size of my hand. I would like you to have some!

[sleepinglotus]

I wouldn't mind helping.

[lanofsizhui]

You don't mind?

I just need someone to watch the register while I cook. Or if you prefer make deliveries. However, it's on foot.

[sleepinglotus]

I would be fine with either. I'm not bothered by distance or carrying loads, but if you need register coverage more I can do that as well.

[lanofsizhui]

[Sizhui will send him a text of the coordinates of his store's address. It's in the farmer's market in Lunatia's square]

At the moment, register coverage for the morning. I need someone to watch the front desk while I'm in the back cooking the food. Then around the afternoon, that's usually when I schedule deliveries for lunch.

You can come by tomorrow morning or start whenever you could! I'm Lan Sizhui by the way, nice to meet you.

[ The man in the video has a pair of fox ears at the top of his head, since it's that time of the month for Cordis, and what it seems to be a tiger tail swaying behind him. ]

Hello! [ Peter gives a friendly smile, ears perking up. ] I can't help with the job, since I don't have any experience with these sort of things, but I am interested in your products. If we have to spend our Chroma, better do it among fellow moonblessed, right? Do you have strawberries or cherries?

[lanofsizhui]

Hello, and well met!

It's perfectly all right, I got the help I need. Chroma is the currency among the moonblessed, but I'll happily take demichroma. I have both strawberries and cherries. They are very big and red. If you eat them, it will make you happy and full of energy.

So if you're interested, come on by when you're in the farmer's square.

[spacedisaster]

[ What a polite kid, Peter really isn't used to it. It brings another smile to his face. ]

Likewise. My name's Peter Quill but around the galaxy, they know me as Star-Lord. Not like it matters much here now that I am grounded. A pleasure to meet you.

Ah, good to know. I don't mind sharing Chroma as long as you're fine with handshakes, hugs, and that sort of thing. [ He's got a girlfriend and he plans on staying faithful to her. Peter is still getting used to this planet's way of exchanging currency. ]

I was thinking about getting some for someone special. I know she likes strawberries but I don't think she's ever tried cherries. They're not easy to find in space. Will do! Do you have store hours set or I can just show up there any time in the morning?

[goodboyplaydead]

You are very motivated.

I will be happy to watch your store. For however long you need.

[lanofsizhui]

[Switching to video because his hands are busy!]

Well, it's not so much about making chroma. I just think, seeing a stock of vegetables and fruits and people buying them makes me happy.

[Also, he gets to shake hands with the moonblessed, so he figured out a better way to get chroma and that's through working honestly for it.]

Wen Ning, if you like to help, you can come over anytime. In fact, I need your help today, right now if you're able to come over.

Re: video;

[goodboyplaydead]

[ Wen Ning is always far too close to the screen during vid calls. So Sizhui is either getting an eye or some other random facial part. ]

It is... a good cause.

I will come. Right away.

Voice: UN: whatever

[noenvy]

Sizhui, it's all well and good to start a business, but you shouldn't overwhelm yourself so quickly.

[lanofsizhui]

[But mother... ;;]

Senior Wei? Is that you? Are you all right? I heard what happened with the other Hanguang-Jun and I'm sorry. I didn't want to pry. I did wanted to send you strawberries, but I wasn't sure if you want any at that time.

I'm all right. I got some help and with their help, it's much easier! I actually have a lot of fun with what I do.

video;

[noenvy]

It's... a thing that happens in this place. And I wouldn't reject your strawberries if you still want to send them.

As long as you're enjoying yourself, and have help, I suppose it's alright. But, don't take on too much or forget your other duties. There are people who are growing anxious and worried.
