Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 168 Don't do things like punching a swollen face to pretend to be fat
Cough cough--

Everyone picked up their teacups and took a sip of the tea almost at the same time, in order to hide the embarrassment of being led astray by Xu An without even realizing it.In the end, the naive middle-aged man came out to smooth things over, and began to inquire about Xu An's fast food restaurant.The Hanhan middle-aged man had heard about it from the old village chief and seen it on TV, but now he still wanted to hear what Xu An, the person involved, had to say.

Xu's fast food restaurant is doing legitimate business, not some shady business, and there is nothing to hide.Xu An began to tell the story from the very beginning when he had the idea of ​​setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches, until now Xu's fast food restaurant can sell [-] boxed lunches a day, and when the expo starts, it can directly double it.

At first, the middle-aged man asked the question with the idea of ​​hearing about the career situation of the younger generation. He learned that the total area of ​​the three shops of Xu's fast food restaurant was only 3000 square meters, and the daily sales unexpectedly reached more than [-] copies. Time sales will double.The most important thing is that Xu's fast food restaurant is only engaged in the lunch business. After such a high sales volume, they became very interested in Xu's fast food restaurant and began to inquire about Xu's fast food restaurant.

For example, how many employees are there in the store, what time is the working hours, can these people be busy, etc. A series of questions.

When he heard that Xu's fast food restaurant had installed automated kitchen equipment to undertake tasks such as washing and cutting vegetables, which greatly saved time, manpower and material resources, the middle-aged man's interest in Xu's fast food restaurant directly reached its peak.

"Now the box lunch in the store is eight yuan, three dishes and one soup. Can the price be lowered?" After asking a few more questions, the middle-aged man suddenly asked a little abruptly.

A look of embarrassment flashed in Xu An's eyes. The food produced by Xu's fast food restaurant is obvious to everyone, both in terms of quality and quantity, and it is better than 90.00% of the fast food on the market.The current price of [-] yuan is at a delicate balance point. If it is cheap, you will not make a profit, and if it is expensive, customers will feel that it is not worthwhile.If the price is further reduced, the only choice is to reduce the quality of the food, otherwise it is almost like doing charity.

"The quality of box lunches produced by Xu's fast food restaurant is worthy of this price, and even exceeds this price. If the price is lowered, it will only be a loss-making business." After thinking about it, Xu An didn't swell his face to pretend to be fat, and went straight to the point. The local government rejected the proposal.

The Hanhan middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, stopped the topic and started a new round of inquiries.For example, how are the box lunches of Xu's fast food restaurant transported?Where are the fruits and vegetables sourced from?Can you provide proof
When answering these questions, Xu An felt that he had returned to the bidding event of the Haishi Machinery Expo.The questions asked by the Hanhan middle-aged man were more in-depth and detailed than those asked at the bidding meeting, almost revealing the old story of Xu's fast food restaurant.

After asking Xu An, the second grandfather chatted with Professor Yu and the middle-aged man on the topic of 'tide farming' for a while, and the three finally reached an agreement.Professor Yu verbally promised that as long as Xujia Village rents out the entire tidal flat, he will immediately submit a project research application to the school. If there are no emergencies in the next three to five years, Professor Yu and others will stay in the sea market most of the time. If the second grandfather has any technical problems or intractable diseases, you can ask him.

The only regret is that the second grandfather originally put the 30 promised by Professor Yu into the leasing preparation fund, but now he has to wait for Xujia Village to lease the tidal flat before the money will be given to Xujia Village for the development of the tidal flat.In this way, there will be a gap of 30 yuan in the reserve fund.

Professor Yu made such a promise in front of his second grandfather and the middle-aged man, and he will not change it easily. It seems that he has to get a loan from Haishi Bank. After all, the loan approval still takes some time, the sooner he can do it. The better prepared you are.Xu An secretly calculated in his heart.

After chatting for a few words, Xu An and Xu Dongliang were invited to enjoy the moon in the yard, and only the second grandfather, Professor Yu and the middle-aged man were left in the room.

After Xu An and Xu Dongliang left, the second grandfather looked at the middle-aged man and asked unceremoniously: "Why do I feel that you want to cheat my nephew?"

"Haha, how could it be? I have always done things openly and aboveboard. How could I do things that harm others, especially when Xu An is the nephew of the old village chief, so it is even more impossible to harm him. It must be a great thing if I can find him " After the middle-aged Hanhan finished speaking, he added: "But this is a matter of fame, not money. It depends on what your nephew thinks. If he is not willing, I will not force it."

Since it wasn't a bad thing, the second grandfather didn't continue to ask, and turned to talk to Professor Yu about the details of the cooperation.
After Xu An and Xu Dongliang were brought into the yard by the doorman, the doorman retreated to an inconspicuous corner, put his hands in his wide sleeves, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, making a look of impoliteness Don't listen.

The two walked dozens of steps along the stone road, listened to the sound of gurgling water, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and finally came to a pavilion and sat on a stone bench.Xu An estimated the distance, and after the conversation between the two would not be overheard by the doorman, he finally couldn't hold back his mouth.

"Uncle Dongliang, just talk about the relationship between the second grandfather and the middle-aged man." Suddenly Xu An thought of an extremely outrageous guess, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Could it be that the middle-aged man is the second grandfather illegitimate child!"

Cough cough cough cough cough cough

Xu Dongliang was so frightened by Xu An's guess that he choked. After a violent cough, Xu Dongliang put his hands on Xu An's hair and rubbed it. I won’t be able to eat and walk around in the future, do you think Second Grandpa is like this? You are so young, what are you thinking in your mind, dirty!"

Hey!

Xu An, who knew he was wrong, didn't refute, but smirked twice and got away with it.Xu Dongliang also knew that Xu An was just talking casually, and after a few reprimands, he didn't grasp the problem and explained to Xu An the relationship between the second grandfather and the middle-aged man.

In the eighties and 90s, the second grandfather saw that other people were earning a lot of money, so he also moved his mind and planned to go and see for himself. If the operation is not difficult and the risk is not high, he will take it with him. The people in Xujia Village worked together to make every household in Xujia Village count as tens of thousands of households.Ever since, the second grandfather took the thousands of pieces pieced together by the whole village, and embarked on a journey to the south under the expectant eyes of the whole village.

Not to mention the train stations in the 90s, even the train stations in the early 21st century, there are many gangsters and the notorious speeding gang.The second grandfather hadn't grown a beard back then, and his appearance was not as handsome as it is now. With his burly and majestic body, he looked like a gangster, and no one dared to think about him along the way.

But on the way back, I still met a thug who didn't open his eyes, but the thieves didn't come for the second grandpa, but for a young couple with a child sitting opposite the second grandpa.Just by looking at the clothes, you can tell that the family of three is in good condition. In addition, the child has been eating non-stop since getting in the car, and even took out a hamburger and fries on the way.Quite logically, the family of three was targeted by thieves.

The second grandpa ate two French fries under the warm greeting of the little boy, which was considered a foreign meal.If nothing happened along the way, then everyone is nodding acquaintances, and after getting off the car, they will forget each other in the rivers and lakes, but those three thieves made a move.
The second grandfather didn't talk about the process of subduing the three thieves, but in the end the second grandfather carried one of them like a chicken, and the enthusiastic people who helped them also caught one and handed it to the law enforcement officers.Law enforcement officers found five knives from the three unconscious people, one of which was a kitchen knife.

Because of this, the second grandpa was featured in the newspapers. If you ask the second grandma, the second grandma can find out the newspaper and show it to everyone.Also because of this experience, the second grandfather felt that this business was too risky, so he sold out all the goods sold this time, and after distributing the money to everyone, he never mentioned it again.

The rest of the plot is very old-fashioned, the little boy is the present middle-aged man, and the young couple are the parents of the middle-aged man.After getting off the train, the second grandfather kept in touch with the parents of the middle-aged Hanhan, and would greet them every year and festival. Until a few years ago, the middle-aged Hanhan came to work in Haishi, and the two had a direct relationship. connect.

So it turns out, no wonder Second Grandpa was able to attend the meeting in the city, no wonder Second Grandpa was so confident, no wonder Second Grandpa was not in a hurry.
The three people in the room seemed to have finished talking, and the three of them came out of the room together, calling for Xu An to come and leave together.

After bidding farewell to the three old village chiefs and Professor Yu, the middle-aged man returned to the office and found a document on the desktop - "Proposal on the Policy and Subsidy Program for the Lonely Elderly and Empty Nest Elderly in Haishi".Then the middle-aged man opened the file and turned to the penultimate page, which contained a supplementary content.

'.According to investigation and research, the vast majority of widowed elderly and empty-nest elderly have mistreatment of themselves in life, and the distributed rice, flour, grain and oil will be stored until the expiration date and never opened. It is recommended to establish a canteen for the elderly and issue meal tickets for the elderly to go to the canteen to eat Volunteers will be added to deliver meals and condolences to the elderly who are unable to go out because of their legs and feet, and to help solve some normal life needs.'

When flipping through the documents, the naive look on the middle-aged man's face faded away, his eyes became sharper, and his brows were full of determination, composure and calmness, instantly filling people with a sense of trust.

"Xu's fast food restaurant, daily sales of [-] yuan, [-] yuan, three dishes and one soup." The middle-aged man murmured, flexing the fingers of his right hand, and tapped rhythmically on the table.

Xu An didn't come home until ten o'clock at night. Grandma Xu, Xu Kang and Xu Le were already sound asleep. Xu An washed his face with a basin of well water, and only saw his own appearance in the mirror when he was wiping his face. with two sausage mouths.Xu An stretched out his fingers in disbelief and flicked his lower lip, and saw the lower lip twitch 'duangduang' twice; when he was talking, his upper and lower lips were also shaking 'duangduang', but he didn't feel the slightest movement. a feeling of
Sure enough, no matter if it was the second grandpa who seemed to be big and three rough, or the carefree Uncle Dongliang, or Professor Yu who was concentrating on academics and not caring about worldly affairs, or that innocent middle-aged man who seemed innocent and harmless, they were all human beings. Fine!Otherwise, how could it be possible for him to have such a face to himself and still be able to chat with a serious expression as usual!

Xu An tiptoed back to the bedroom. Although his movements were very light, his voice was very low, and he didn't even turn on the phone screen, he went back to the bed in the dark.Xu Kang and Xu Le still heard the movement, and opened their eyes a little. After seeing that the person who came was Xu An, they sat up awkwardly, with a little dazed expression on their faces.

"Why did you fall asleep? Didn't you say that you want to sleep together when your brother comes back?" Xu Le, the villain, complained first, and directly poked Xu Kang's chubby little face with his chubby fingers.

"You fell asleep first! I called you several times and you ignored me, and then I fell asleep too." Xu Kang patted Xu Le's little finger away with one hand, and said confidently, but the more he said The sound is lower in the back.

"Didn't my brother say on the phone that he would come back later tonight and let you go to bed first? You promised my brother on the phone, so it doesn't matter if you two talk!" Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more energetic, Xu An quickly interrupted them.

"We miss brother, brother is not here, the room has become so scary!" Xu Kang and Xu Le hid in Xu An's arms, and pointed to the wall: "Brother, look, there is a shadow on the wall that keeps moving, is it an old witch? Catch us!"

Xu An stared intently, suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry.The shadow of the old witch that Xu Kang and Xu Le talked about was the shadow of the moonlight shining on the longan tree and falling on the wall through the window.The evening wind blows the leaves of the longan tree and keeps shaking, and the shadow on the wall keeps moving.
"Have you seen the moon outside? It's the shadow cast by the moon on the tree, not an old witch." Xu An explained to the two seriously, but he knew it from the bewildered expressions on their faces. The two did not understand.

Xu An thought for a while, got down from the bed and walked to the window, hooked his thumbs together, and put the other four fingers together. After some angle adjustments, an eagle's shadow suddenly appeared on the wall.With the change of Xu An's gestures, the shadow on the wall turned into a running rabbit for a while, and a shrinking tortoise for a while. The continuous changes caused the two little guys to keep exclaiming, leaving the shadow of the old witch behind. back of the head.
