Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 11 2 yuan

The purpose has been exposed, and there is no need to hide it.Xu An coaxed his younger siblings into the bedroom to play, and returned to the yard to have a showdown with Grandma Xu.

"Grandma, just like what my aunt told you, this family can't live without me. I'm leaving to go to college, so what do you do? I just watched Kang Lele being sent to my aunt's home as a Guanyin for sending a son , been trained by my sister-in-law for four years?
Little uncle or little aunt-in-law, which one is easy to provoke, and my sister-in-law's words don't work. They are still young, and they can't find anyone to support them when they are bullied. They will only feel that it is their own fault and that they haven't done well.

Even if I bring them back four years later, can they still be as lively and cheerful as they are now? "

"If you said earlier that you didn't want to go to college, why would I pay you to go to high school for three years? Wouldn't it be better to send you to work on a construction site earlier? Now that you've finished high school and can go to college, you told me not to go to college."

The armrest of the rocking chair that Grandma Xu patted made a thud.

"Or do you think I broke my leg, I'm a useless person, I can't take care of Kang Lele, and I'm a drag on you, so I don't want to go to college?"

Grandma Xu's words poked her heart.

Xu An did have this idea in his previous life, when he was still young, he always felt that his family was dragging him down, otherwise he could run farther and fly higher.

So he didn't stop his sister-in-law when she took Kang Kangle away. Although he was a little uneasy, he felt that he was missing a burden.

It wasn't until after I graduated that I realized that I was wrong in this idea, but it was too late, and no amount of remediation could restore this mistake.

Now that he has a new life, he doesn't want to repeat this regret.

Xu An grabbed Grandma Xu's red right hand with both hands, looked at Grandma Xu's red eyes, and said seriously: "Grandma, the grades haven't come out yet, and there are still two and a half months before I go to college.

These two and a half months are an opportunity for me to try it out.If I can earn 2 yuan in these two and a half months, you agree that I will not go to college, okay? "

Grandma Xu wanted to shake off Xu An's hand and moved her fingers a few times, but finally gave up.

If she had a choice, she would not want to send Xu Kang and Xu Le to her daughter's home.It's just that this choice is currently the best choice. For Xu An, Xu Kang and Xu Le, this choice can only be made.

But now, Xu An has given her another choice, a choice that allows their family to continue living together, so why isn't she tempted.

But this choice sacrificed Xu An's future.

Seeing that Grandma Xu had calmed down a little, and she seemed to be moving on purpose, Xu An quickly struck while the iron was hot, and spoke out her plan all at once.

Grandma Xu's business was selling vegetables in the market, and she didn't know anything about business.Hearing what Xu An said was clear and logical, but I always felt uneasy in my heart.

"I told Uncle Dongliang about this, and he agreed. Come back to our house for dinner later, and try my skills."

The youngest son of Ahua's family, although he is a bit out of tune on weekdays, he is reliable in major matters.He said if you can, it's worth a try.

Recalling that Xu An's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds these days, he probably had this idea in his heart, and went to learn such a skill specially.

"Then let's make plans after Dongliang has eaten at noon."

The matter of going to university has finally come to an end, and the next step is to see if I can earn 2 yuan in these two and a half months.

Xu An packed the ingredients and seasonings piled up at the gate of the courtyard one by one into the kitchen. There was also an eggplant picked this morning that was a little old and kept for his own consumption.

For lunch, I plan to cook three dishes according to the specifications of the box lunch. For meat dishes, there is a meat pie and egg nest, then the whole eggplant with minced meat, and finally there is a stir-fried vermicelli with cabbage.

I also need to cook a seaweed pork rib soup to nourish grandma's body. This is what I eat at home.

The cooking of meatloaf and eggs is the simplest. Chop the fat and thin meat, add seasonings, mix well, and spread them on the plate.

Divide the meat on the plate into six portions, dig a hole in the middle of each portion with a spoon, crack an egg in, and steam for 15 minutes to complete.

Eggplant with minced meat has been done before, so I won't repeat it again.

Shred the cabbage, fry the shallots, ginger and garlic in hot oil, pour in the shredded cabbage and fry until it changes color and becomes soft, add the soaked vermicelli and seasonings, stir fry evenly and then serve.

Finally, wash the pot and cook the rice.

As soon as the rice here was cooked, the door was pushed open by Uncle Dongliang.

"Anzi's cooking skills are good. You can smell the aroma of the food from a long distance away." After walking in, I saw Grandma Xu under the longan tree, and said hello to Grandma Xu.He helped set up the table and chairs, and waited for Xu An to bring the food.

"Hey, steamed egg with meatloaf, eggplant with minced meat, vermicelli with cabbage and kelp bone soup, it's very rich."

I tasted the dishes with chopsticks, and I was not surprised, but the taste was a bit better than that of the restaurant stalls outside the construction site.

"It tastes good, it's more than enough to open a small restaurant."

He took a sip of the kelp rib soup and let out a long sigh of relief.

"In this weather, I sip soup after dinner, and I feel happy like a fairy!" After finishing speaking, he gave Xu An a thumbs up: "Based on this standard, if you come to the construction site tomorrow, I can recruit 20 people for you."

Hearing Uncle Dongliang's praise so straightforwardly, Xu An and Grandma Xu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

There's something going on.

"Uncle Dongliang, then it's settled. Tomorrow I will go to the construction site where you work to sell boxed lunches. You have to recruit 20 people for me."

"Okay, just 20 people, no problem." Uncle Dongliang drank the soup in the bowl in one breath, his eyes rolled around: "What's the dish tomorrow, tell me in advance, so I can promote it to you." .”

"Tomorrow should be the same three dishes, but there will be less soup."

Uncle Dongliang frowned, stroked his chin and said, "Now that the weather is so hot, we still need soup. You can make simple seaweed egg drop soup or tomato egg soup."

Xu An nodded in agreement.

Uncle Dongliang had to go to work on the construction site in the afternoon, so he was not polite to Xu Ando. After eating, he said goodbye and went home to take a nap.

After Xu An cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, Grandma Xu stopped him: "I don't understand business. Since Dong Liang said yes, then you can try it. How much money do you have now?"

The total income from selling vegetables in the past few days is more than 150 yuan, but I bought meat and cigarettes for 80 yuan, and I just bought a bunch of things, and now I only have [-] yuan left.

"There is still 80 yuan, which should be enough, and the money will come in after selling the lunch boxes tomorrow."

"Go get the cloth bag under my pillow."

The cloth bag under Grandma Xu's pillow contained some small change for daily expenses.

"Grandma, no need. I didn't plan to make much on the first day. I guess it's only about [-] or [-] copies. The money left is enough."

"If you tell you to take it, bring it to me quickly." Grandma Xu was unmoved and continued to insist.

Seeing Grandma Xu's resolute look, Xu An had no choice but to walk into the room and take out the cloth bag from under the pillow.

The cloth bag has a rectangular shape as a whole, with an opening on the short side.Near the opening are five dollars, one dollar, fifty cents.

Grandma Xu took out all the change on the top, and there was a slightly thinner roll in the middle, consisting of ten yuan, 20 yuan and 50 yuan.

After the roll of money was taken out, the cloth bag became shriveled.Grandma Xu continued to dig in, and what she took out were three hundred-yuan bills.

He took out a hundred-yuan bill, counted out 200 yuan from the remaining change, and handed the 300 yuan to Xu An.

"Grandma, I don't know how to run a business, but I know how to be a person. In the food business, the most important thing is to be worthy of my conscience. Even if it is more expensive and earns less, fresh ingredients must be used.

If you want to set up a stall, you need to spend money in every aspect.Now that you have thought about everything, then work hard, spend where you should spend money, and save where you should save money.

Grandma can't help you with anything, so I'll give you the 300 yuan.If you fail, treat it as a red envelope given to you to celebrate your admission to university.If it succeeds, it is naturally the best. "

Xu An looked at the 300 yuan in small change in his hand, with tears in his eyes.He tightened his grip on the money in his hand, and nodded abruptly: "Understood, grandma."

When going to bed at night, Xu An tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

In his previous life, he was just a nine-to-six office worker, doing ordinary jobs and earning enough wages to support his family.

The idea of ​​doing business would occasionally appear in his mind and soon disappear.

He always thought that doing business was far away from him, but he didn't want to go back to his own year. He only had more than 100 people in his body, so he was afraid of setting up a stall to do business.

After turning around again, the younger siblings, who thought they were already asleep, actually stared at him with their eyes open.

"What's the matter, did brother turn over and wake you up?"

The two little heads shook their heads in unison, and continued to stare at Xu An but did not speak.

Xu An lay on the bed and looked at the two of them: "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep. If you don't sleep, you won't grow taller. If you don't sleep, you won't be as tall as brother."

"Brother." Xu Le called out sharply.

"Ok?"

"Brother, do you and grandma don't want us anymore, and plan to give us to the old hag's family?"

"Why do you think so?"

"We all heard, the old hag wants to take us away."

Xu An reached out and hugged the two of them into his arms, and comforted softly: "No, as long as my brother is here, the old hag won't be able to take you away. You will be my brother's younger siblings all your life."

"really?"

"real."

"Brother, you have to keep your word."

"Okay, if brother doesn't mean what he says, he will become a puppy that no one wants."

"Then let's pull the hook."

Three fingers, one big, two small, hooked together and shook.

"Hang yourself on the hook, 100 years, don't change. People who don't talk will become unwanted puppies."

After Xu An repeated assurances, the two fell into a deep sleep.Xu An kissed their little cheeks and fell asleep.
