Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 13 The Meat Is Not Enough for Teeth
Qiao Xingguo's hometown is in Jianghan, Jianghan's economy is not developed, and the jobs it can provide are limited.

Most of the people in the village where Qiao Xingguo lived went out to work. Qiao Xingguo and his wife followed the villagers to work on the construction site of the Bauhinia Garden.

He is quite satisfied with the salary and treatment. The only dissatisfaction is that the ingredients on the construction site can fool people too much.

I don't know if it's because the weather has been hot recently, and the people working in the kitchen feel bored and don't have the mood to cook properly.For several days in a row, the noon meals were mainly noodles, and then a pot of toppings was cooked, and it was over.

Qiao Xingguo started to work at six o'clock and finished work at 10:30. He walked towards the canteen of the construction site with a few other workers who got off work together.

"I don't know what to cook in the cafeteria today, and I can't smell anything when I'm so close." Qiao Xingguo sniffed the bromide vigorously in the direction of the cafeteria, but he didn't smell the aroma.

"It's fine if you can't smell it. If you can't smell it, it proves that it's noodles again at noon. I just don't know what toppings are for today." The worker next door said cheerfully.

As they said that, the three of them walked into the tin room of the cafeteria. Because there were no people there and the ceiling fan on the roof was not turned on, the heat from cooking in the kitchen came out, making the whole room a bit stuffy.

Qiao Xingguo took two quick steps to Dacaikou, and looked inside with his head.

In the kitchen, two large pots are boiling at the same time. One pot is cooking rice noodles, and the other pot can be seen to be made of shredded fungus, shredded carrots, green river vegetables, shredded pork, and some unrecognizable ingredients. toppings.

Well, sure enough, it's pasta again. The people in the kitchen are really lazy.

Whispering in my heart, but dissatisfied with the movements of my hands, I took a medium-sized stainless steel basin from the side shelf and handed it to the eldest sister who was in charge of cooking.

The eldest sister took out two large rice noodles with chopsticks from the pot and put them into the basin, then poured half a spoonful of toppings on the vermicelli with a spoon.

"Add more toppings, it won't even mix the vermicelli evenly." Qiao Xingguo said to Sister Shengcai with a sad smile.

"If everyone orders more, some people won't be able to eat." The eldest sister put down the spoon and picked up a pair of chopsticks: "Knowing that you are lucky, I made extra fried eggs for you, one for each of you."

In this fried egg, the egg white is the egg white, and the egg yolk is the egg yolk, round and round.It looks good on the surface, but it doesn't taste like eggs.

If Xu An were here, he would find that this fried egg was a semi-finished product, made with Hex technology.

Ordinarily, one egg can only be fried to make one fried egg, but after using the Hex technology, one egg can be turned into three fried eggs.It is harmless to the human body, conforms to food safety, and can greatly reduce costs.

From small roadside stalls to large chain fast food restaurants, they all like to use this kind of fried eggs.

The fried eggs were eaten in two or three bites, and the remaining noodles were finished within two servings, and there was not even a drop of soup left.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, my stomach feels full, but my stomach always feels that there is something missing.

I haven't been able to eat a decent amount of meat for several days, and the shredded meat in the topping is not enough for my teeth.

Otherwise, go to the restaurant outside the construction site and have a chicken drumstick to make up for it.

I thought so in my heart, and my body was honest, I put the bowls and chopsticks in the recycling bin and walked towards the gate of the construction site.

The Jiajia fast food restaurant outside the construction site is already open, and there are customers sitting in twos and threes, but none of them are wearing work clothes and hard hats.

Qiao Xingguo was also very sensible, instead of going in, he stood at the entrance of the store and shouted: "Boss, do you have braised chicken legs in this store, how much is it?"

"Steamed chicken legs are five yuan a piece, and a box of stewed chicken legs is eight yuan." The voice came from the cash register, but no one was seen.

Qiao Xingguo hissed, and a chicken drumstick cost five yuan, which was a bit expensive.

Just as he was struggling, another voice came from behind the cashier: "Do you want it? If you don't want it, don't stand in the way at the door."

Forget it, it's more cost-effective to wait for my wife to get off work, and then come over and ask for a chicken leg box lunch.

Qiao Xingguo returned to the gate of the construction site, sat in the shade under a tree and waited.

As soon as he sat down, a tricycle rode over and stopped not far away, and the bicycle behind also stopped.

A tall, thin, slightly young boy got off the tricycle.Together with the medium-sized and strong boy who got off the bicycle, he carried the two children sitting in the tricycle compartment.

The tall and thin boy quickly opened the two foam boxes, and he was relieved after checking that the contents inside were all right.He untied a large plastic bag from the front of the car and took out a stack of small round boxes.

The two children were in charge of handing the box, the tall and thin boy filled the bucket and put it into the box, and the sturdy boy was responsible for putting the lid on the box, and they cooperated in an orderly manner.

Qiao Xingguo squinted his eyes and looked at the big piece of paper in the corner of the tricycle, which seemed to have words written on it.

'meat pie nest eggs;
minced meat eggplant;

cabbage vermicelli;

Free tomato and egg soup;
Eight yuan a piece. '

Qiao Xingguo's eyes widened in embarrassment, it's fake, so many dishes only cost [-] yuan, can I only choose one or two of them.

He stood up from under the tree and walked towards the tricycle.

The tall and thin boy is Xu An, the sturdy boy is Xu Heping, and the two children are Xu Kang and Xu Le.

The four of them set off from Xujia Village at ten o'clock. Xu An was full of strength and pedaled very fast along the way.What was supposed to be an hour's journey took only 45 minutes.

As soon as I got out of the car, I checked whether the lunch box had been spilled. Fortunately, the road was repaired the year before last and it was very smooth.There is also a foam box for shock absorption, and none of the [-] lunch boxes spilled out.

The four of them put soup on the box lunch while there was no one there.

Suddenly, a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a hard hat came over and stared at them as they worked without saying a word.

"Brother, do you want a boxed lunch?" Xu An handed the spoon to Xu Heping, took out a boxed lunch from the foam box, handed it to Qiao Xingguo, and showed him the contents of the boxed lunch.

"A piece of eight yuan, each with a box of rice, a piece of meat pie and eggs, as well as eggplant with minced meat and vermicelli with cabbage, all are dishes for dinner."

"It's only eight yuan. Are your meat and vegetables fresh?" Qiao Xingguo was a little moved, but he was a little worried that these vegetables were not fresh.

"Don't worry about this, the meat is bought in the wholesale market, and the vegetables are grown in his own land, so it's so cheap." Xu An put away the lunch box and put it back in the bag: "I know that the construction site is not short, and neither are we. One shot for one run, I want to do long-term business here, not to do those vile business."

While Qiao Xingguo was still hesitating, there was a loud noise from the entrance of the construction site. It was a tall dark young man leading a group of workers walking towards this side, and a large circle of people surrounded the tricycle.

It was Uncle Dongliang who brought the workers over and watched the battle, but there were more than 20 people.
