Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 18 The Upright Worker Brother

A series of conjectures such as cutting corners and materials that many workers were worried about did not happen, and the quality of the daily meals was hardcore.

After Qiao Guoxing and his wife started to spread hatred in the cafeteria every day, more people wanted to buy boxed lunches.

It took an hour and a half for the [-] boxed lunches at Xu'an's stall to sell out, but now it can be sold out in about an hour.

With the help of Uncle Dongliang's friend, it took three days to complete the procedures for a series of documents such as health certificates, health permits, and temporary booth certificates.

Every time he goes out of the stall, he carries these certificates with him in case of temporary inspection.

In the following week, Xu An's business was very stable, with the daily fifty lunch boxes being sold out in about an hour.

There are many workers on the construction site, but not many people are willing to spend money on extra consumption. Xu An's booth cut off one-third of the people who are willing to spend money on the construction site.

There are more people who come to Xu An to consume, and naturally fewer people go to the opposite restaurant to consume.

Originally, the owner of Jiajia fast food restaurant thought that the heat of this small stall would only last for a few days at most.

Unexpectedly, a week had passed, and the business at the stall opposite was still booming, which made her a little restless.

It wasn't until after the stall on the opposite side closed up and left that workers in the store came to sell boxed lunches one after another.

The proprietress changed her usual attitude of sitting behind the cash register and ignoring answers, and walked outside the door enthusiastically to chat with the workers.

After a meaningless conversation, we finally got to the point.

"I saw a stall selling boxed lunches on your construction site. The business has been pretty good recently."

The worker man is very enthusiastic and honest, and he said bluntly: "It's cheap, delicious, and generous in portion, everyone loves it."

"Hahaha, then do you like our chicken leg rice better? Xiaoshan, this worker brother breaks a bigger chicken leg into the chicken leg box lunch, and adds a tiger skin egg to the worker brother."

"Your chicken drumstick rice is good, but the quantity is too small. One box is not enough to eat, and two boxes are too expensive, so I can only have a toothpaste." The worker brother paused, and added: "Today I finished work, When it came out, the box lunches were all sold out.”

This sentence was like a sharp arrow, piercing the heart of the proprietress.

The box lunch opposite is sold out, so I came to buy my chicken drumstick rice, pure spare tire.

Since the start of construction on the opposite site, the consumption of the workers has accounted for one-third of the store's income, and now this one-third of the income has become one-third of the third, and the proprietress can't bear it .

These were originally my customers and my income, so I couldn't just be snatched away by a broken tricycle for no reason.

The proprietress rolled her eyes, and ordered the waiter in the store to order a free soup for the elder worker who came in front of her.

"Apart from the small portion, do you think there are any shortcomings, we will improve and improve."

"It's just that the portion is small, the meat is small, the vegetables are small, and the rice is small." The worker's answer is still so straightforward.

"What kind of food do you all like to eat?" The proprietress asked persistently.

"It must be meat, the more the better." The worker's eldest brother still smiled very honestly, and reached out to take the lunch box handed over by the waiter, which was three points heavier than before, and gave the proprietress a thumbs up: "Today This amount is enough."

After the elder brother of the worker left, the proprietress turned her head and shouted: "Someone come and sweep the door, the dust is so dirty that other customers dare not come in when they see it so dirty."

"The requirements for picking and swishing one by one are not low. I still want to eat meat, and the more the better, why don't you just say that I want to put a pig on your lunch box." The proprietress went back behind the cashier, her mouth He muttered unforgivingly.

Adding more meat will reduce the profit. Now a box of eight yuan chicken drumstick rice can earn four or five yuan, and if more meat is added, it is estimated that there will be two or three yuan left.

But earning less is better than earning nothing. The proprietress glanced at the entrance of the construction site through the window, but she didn't see Xu An, but she couldn't help but scolded: "It's really unlucky to run into this kind of loss-making business. people, this is vicious competition, vicious competition."

After the restaurant, the proprietress packed up her things and set off for the wholesale market.

There are two wholesale markets in the city, one large and one small.The big one is in the east of the city, and the small one is only two kilometers away from the big one, not far away.

The proprietress first went to the big wholesale market to have a look, and suddenly found that the butcher who supplied her was really conscientious.Otherwise, based on the price in the wholesale market, a box of chicken drumstick rice can earn three and five yuan, which is already the sky.

Or it's better to find a butcher who supplies for oneself to get the goods.But it’s all here, let’s go to the small wholesale market to have a look.

The proprietress took a turn to the small wholesale market. The variety of food here was a little less than that of the big wholesale market, and it was not as fresh as the big wholesale market, but the price was a little lower than that of the big wholesale market.

The third proprietress is not satisfied with the price. This price is similar to the price of her own supplier, so why bother to look far away.

Coming out of the small wholesale market, he was about to go back when he was suddenly stopped by a fat middle-aged man.

"Boss, do you want cheap meat? Chicken, pork, beef, and mutton are all available. I have real pork, mutton, and beef, not fake duck and mouse meat."

"Really?" The proprietress took the flyer in the man's hand with some doubts, and read it at a glance, her eyes lit up suddenly.

If the meat is really at the price on the flyer, you can still earn four yuan for a meal with chicken legs and another piece of meat, which is a good deal.

The man was moved when he saw the proprietress, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue her.

"My car is near here, and it only takes 15 minutes in the past. Do you want to go and have a look at the scene?"

The proprietress hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

I went there on a motorcycle, and as soon as I got out of the car, I stepped on a puddle of blood, and there were still a few maggots in the water before moving.

The proprietress jumped up and couldn't help complaining: "Your sanitation conditions are too bad, what is in this water, it must be maggots, vomit."

"Isn't it too busy, I don't have time to clean up, go inside, it's clean inside."

It's all here, I can't just leave like this, let's take a look.

With this in mind, the proprietress followed the middle-aged man into the warehouse.

There were several rows full of meat that exuded a rancid smell, and the face of the proprietress changed instantly.

Although she loves to take advantage of petty advantages and make money, she still has a conscience.The meat on the shelf is not edible for humans.

The middle-aged man noticed her strangeness, and explained with a smile: "The meat outside is made into pet food, not for people to eat. The meat I want to show you is still in the cold storage, and someone will pick it up later. You can see it when it arrives.”

Looking around, there are indeed many people picking goods in the warehouse.

Suddenly, the proprietress saw a very familiar face.

'Isn't this the owner of the fast food restaurant Haoyoulai on Qianjie?I have been asking him where he buys from before and never said, but now I have discovered it. '

The proprietress leaned over: "Old Liu, I didn't expect that, I found a place for you to buy."

The man who was called Lao Liu was shocked by this sentence, and he was relieved when he turned around and saw that it was the proprietress of Jiajia fast food restaurant.

"Do you know that scaring people can scare people to death?"

"Isn't it very happy to see you? You are a regular customer here. How is the meat here?"

An unnatural look flashed across Old Liu's face: "It can be eaten, but it won't make people bad. You can see for yourself the rest."

Seeing that Lao Liu didn't want to say more, the proprietress didn't ask.Lao Liu's store has been open for more than half a year, and he hasn't heard anything about eating bad people, so there should be no problem.

It just so happened that someone had made a selection, and the old man in the leather jacket went in and took out the goods he had selected, and the proprietress leaned over to have a look.

In the catering business, although the proprietress does not work in the back kitchen, she knows some tricks to distinguish the quality of food.

From the naked eye, the food that the old man took out was no different from the ones in the wholesale market.

'Then how come it's so cheap? '

The proprietress' doubts were completely resolved after seeing the date on the packaging bag.

This is an expired ingredient, and it has expired for more than a year, no wonder it is so cheap.

The old Liu family has been using this without any problems, why don't I try it too?
Suddenly she seemed to remember something, turned around and asked the chubby middle-aged man, "There is a small box lunch stand at the entrance of the Bauhinia Garden construction site, did he buy from here?"

The middle-aged man didn't know who she was talking about, and he had no impression of this person, but he kept answering: "Yes, yes."

Hearing this, the proprietress became angry.

It is unforgivable that you dare to buy such a low price just because you buy here.

Then with a wave of his little hand, he checked four or five items on the list.

"Bring me all these."
