Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 12 Heading towards the construction site

Although he didn't have to sell vegetables today, but he needed to be busy making lunch boxes, Xu An still got up at four o'clock in the morning.

After getting up and washing up, I rode my bicycle to the town with a flashlight.

When they arrived at the wholesale market in the town, there was only a gleam of light in the sky, and the wholesale market was already buzzing.

According to yesterday's memory, Xu An found an area selling chilled ingredients.

Chilled ingredients are indeed not as fresh as fresh ingredients, but the foods that can enter the wholesale market and be sold at least meet the national food safety standards.

It's just that the taste is slightly worse than fresh ingredients.

"That kid over there, yes, he was talking about you."

I was observing the quality of these ingredients, which one was better, when I suddenly heard a voice and subconsciously looked up, the person who was talking was a fat, strong, bald man with a pair of big tattoos on his arms, and he was pointing at himself.

Xu An was sure that he didn't know this person, so he stood there without moving, looking at the bald man quietly.

"Bald Chen, I told you to wear long sleeves. With your image, no one will be afraid." The owner of the stall next door to Bald Chen sneered ruthlessly.

"What kind of weather is this? Wearing long sleeves won't kill you from the heat."

After hesitating for a while, Xu An still walked over. After all, among these few shops, the meat quality of the bald Chen family is the best.

"I saw you kid yesterday, and I thought you wouldn't come here to buy meat, but I didn't expect you to come today."

"Why does the boss think I won't come?" Xu An took out the box of Double Happiness from his pocket, and handed one to Bald Chen.

The bald Chen took it and put it behind his ear, leaned towards Xu An, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I saw it yesterday. When you went out, that person handed you a leaflet. Look at it. After finishing the flyer, you go there.

Those who go there, eight out of ten will not come back.They are all blinded by money and get into the eyes of money.Especially the younger you are, the more you feel indifferent. "

It turned out that after seeing the scene yesterday, Xu An smiled and did not answer, and carefully selected the pork on the stall.

It is best to use fatty pork for steamed meat patties. If it is too thin, it will feel like wood, and if it is too fat, it will feel greasy. The most suitable ratio is [-]% or [-]%.

I picked a few pieces and put them in a red plastic bag, weighed them to about ten catties, and handed them to the bald boss to weigh them.

"Eleven catties, seven yuan per catty, Chenghui has a total of 77 yuan."

He took out the money from the inside pocket of his trousers, counted out 77 yuan and handed it to the boss. After taking the meat, he turned to the daily necessities area.

35 disposable plastic lunch boxes cost 62 cents each, totaling [-] yuan; [-] disposable plastic soup boxes cost [-] cents each, totaling [-] yuan; disposable chopsticks cost [-] yuan, [-] pairs; disposable spoons cost [-] yuan. Ten pieces; a bundle of [-] transparent plastic bags costs [-] yuan; all costs add up to [-] yuan.

If it wasn't for grandma who gave me 300 yuan, if it wasn't for Uncle Dongliang, he would guarantee to bring twenty people.Xu An intends to try out the [-]-cent box lunch first, and if the sales are good, he will gradually increase the quantity. He will not buy so many things at once.

When I went out, I passed a steel product booth, and I was a little tempted when I saw the soup buckets that are common in fast food restaurants in major restaurants.

It takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle from home to the construction site of the Bauhinia Garden. There are bumps along the way, and the soup is likely to be spilled.If a whole barrel is packed, and then repacked at the construction site, there will be no such trouble.

After asking the price of 51 pieces, Xu An gritted his teeth and paid for one.

I have bought almost all the things I need today, and I returned to the place where the bicycle was parked with a lot of things.Put things into the basket, and then fix the basket on the back seat of the bicycle with a strap with hooks.

During this period, Xu An saw several figures walking in the direction of Anxin Food Processing Company.

Business is really good.

Xu An muttered something in his heart, got on his bicycle and rode towards home.

Back in the village, I saw a person riding a tricycle blocking the door of his house from a distance.As the distance got closer and closer, Xu An saw the man's face clearly, it was Xu Heping.

"You guys don't show loyalty. You don't tell me when you want to do business. If you didn't meet Uncle Dongliang, I would have been kept in the dark by you." Xu Heping started yelling when he saw Xu An.

"Isn't this the first time I didn't know if it would work, so I didn't call you." Xu An got off the seat and pushed the bicycle closer: "Where did you get the tricycle?"

"The old antiques in my house have been useless for several years. I thought you might use them, so I cleaned them out. After a night of tinkering, they can be used." Xu Heping patted the tricycle seat triumphantly: "This is comparable to yours. That bike is much more reliable."

Xu Heping came to the door by himself, Xu An naturally had no reason to refuse, and took him into the yard together, commanding him to help with peace of mind.

Although Uncle Dongliang doesn’t get off work until twelve o’clock, workers with different functions on the construction site get off work at different times. Starting from 10:30, some people will start off work one after another.

So Xu An's side had to arrive at the construction site by eleven o'clock at the latest, and if it was later, everyone had to eat outside.

Cut what should be cut, marinate what should be marinated, and chop what should be chopped.From seven o'clock to eight o'clock, all the ingredients were processed.

When Xu Kang and Xu Le woke up, they saw Xu An and Xu An busy in the yard, they stopped playing with the sand, and followed behind the two of them, yelling for help.

Two four-year-old little Douding can't help with washing vegetables, let alone chopping vegetables.In the end, they sent the two of them to sit in front of the stove to wait for the cooking and help to light the fire, so the two of them stopped making noise.

Although the two are young, their burning skills have already reached the full level.Xu An said that a large fire can make a big fire, and a small fire can make a small fire, which is better than a gas stove.

At 09:30, the rice has been cooked and put into the soup bucket.

Xu An continued to work by the stove, preparing to cook tomato and egg drop soup.Xu Heping started packing the meals in boxes, and Xu Kang and Xu Le put chopsticks and spoons on each bagged lunch box, and the process went on in an orderly manner.

The meals were packed one by one and put into two large foam boxes brought by Xu Heping. Each box had fifteen servings, which were just finished.

Wash the soup bucket again, dry it with a paper towel, and put it into the freshly cooked tomato and egg drop soup.

Xu An easily moved the two foam boxes and soup buckets full of lunch boxes to the tricycle, fixed them with belts, and the preparatory work was ready.

With the rest of the food, the five of them had lunch, and at exactly ten o'clock, Xu An and Xu An were about to set off for the construction site.

Before going out, Xu An always felt that something was missing, and after a little thought, he realized that there was no sign.I went back to the room and found a piece of paper, wrote today's dishes on it, and wrote 'Xu's Fast Food' on the top.

When Xu An was fixing the signboard, Xu Kang and Xu Le saw that there was still half of the empty space after the lunch box was put down on the tricycle. The two climbed up and squatted behind, refusing to get off even if they said anything.

Xu An had no choice but to go to the house and get two straw hats for the two of them to put on, and let them sit in the carriage for stability.

One stepped on the pedals, Xu An rode in front on a tricycle, and Xu Heping rode behind on a bicycle, riding towards the construction site of the Bauhinia Garden.
