Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 21 There are ghosts!
As the saying goes, good fortune is unparalleled, but misfortune never comes singly.

Not only is there more competition today, but fewer workers come out to consume, and the flow of people is only a little over half of what it used to be.

Coupled with the diversion of so many shops across the street and the small stalls next door, until one o'clock, Xu An only sold 32 boxed meals, and there were still eight left.

Xu Heping was a little anxious seeing so many lunch boxes left, so he dragged Xu Kang and Xu Le to solicit customers.On weekdays, this invincible tactic of attracting customers is not very effective today.

It took half an hour to bring in three people, plus the four guests who came, there was still one portion left.

It's already two o'clock, and basically all the things I want to spend have already come out, and the rest are eaten in the factory cafeteria and won't come out, and it's almost time to close the stalls.

Fortunately, it was temporarily decided to reduce ten shares yesterday, otherwise the remaining eleven shares would not worry about death, and one day's income would have to be included.

But what comforted Xu An was that with so many competitors, his own stall had the highest traffic flow, and many regular customers still chose his own stall.

It's only been a little over a week, and the number of regular customers is quite limited. You can only survive by relying on regular customers, and you have to open up new sales channels.

After all, I still have an agreement of 2 yuan with my grandma, which cannot be fulfilled by regular customers alone.

Perhaps because there was more competition, on the way back, Xu Heping no longer dragged Xu An to talk about the world like in the past.On the contrary, he was very silent, looking at Xu An with worry in his eyes, as if he was worried that he couldn't think about it.

"Heping, do I look so fragile?" Xu An asked leisurely after Xu Heping turned his head again.

"What?" Xu Heping was a little confused.

"You have looked back at me eight hundred times along the way, the dog lying on the side of the road knows that you are worried about me."

"The competition is so big all of a sudden, can you not worry about it?"

"When we sold 39 copies on the first day of our stall, you thought it was unbelievable. Now you can sell [-] copies a day, but you are not satisfied. The pattern has become bigger." Xu An joked.

"If we don't know, let's make thirty copies." Xu Heping didn't answer, but gave a suggestion.

"No, I plan to make sixty copies tomorrow." Xu An shook his head.

'squeak! '

There was a long sound of brakes, and Xu Heping stopped his bicycle sideways in front of Xu Ande's tricycle, and looked at Xu An incredulously: "You are crazy."

Fortunately, Xu An had been paying attention to the road ahead, and pressed the brakes in time, avoiding the situation where Xu Heping would fly away after one wheel.

"I think you are crazy, park sideways in the middle of the road, in case there is a motorcycle behind, let's finish playing together." Xu An cursed angrily.

"I'm not too surprised." Xu Heping smiled apologetically, then solemnly asked, "Did you just say that you were joking or serious about making sixty copies tomorrow?"

"Seriously. Tomorrow I will make sixty lunch boxes, but not all of them will be sold at the construction site of the Bauhinia Garden."

? ?
Two big question marks appeared in Xu Heping's eyes. Why did he feel that he couldn't understand Xu An's words?

"I plan to divide our troops into two groups tomorrow. You will bring [-] packed lunches to sell at the Bauhinia Garden construction site, and I will take the remaining [-] packed lunches to sell at other construction sites,"

"Other construction sites, where are you going to go?"

"The first construction site we visited was the construction site of the Haishi Library. There are two smaller construction sites next to it, and there are residential areas nearby. Although the competition is also high, the passenger flow is greater and there are some business leaders."

"If we go over there, our lunch box will not be welcome?"

"Then I'll change the construction site." Xu An kicked Xu Heping's bicycle: "Can you go, don't get in the way in front of you."

"I think the Bauhinia Garden is a good construction site, and the sales volume of thirty copies a day is also acceptable." Xu Heping still didn't understand Xu An's choice, and muttered while riding.

If there was no agreement with grandma, Xu An would not mind continuing to work on the construction site.

But this agreement is related to whether the younger siblings can stay with him, so naturally he can't be a salted fish.

It's not easy to tell Xu Heping about this agreement, otherwise Xu Heping would get anxious and be able to steal fish from his own fish pond and make up 2 yuan for him.

Today, all the workers who step into the cafeteria want to beat the gongs and drums to express their joy.

After half a month, big rice appeared in the dining hall again.The dishes are actually twice-cooked pork and capers with minced meat, both of which are very good dishes.

What is even more surprising is that there is actually a soup!Egg Seaweed Soup!

As usual, Qiao Guoxing went to Xu An's stall at the gate of the construction site to buy a boxed lunch before heading towards the construction site cafeteria.

Before reaching the entrance of the cafeteria, I could smell the aroma of food wafting from inside.

I walked to the window and saw that today's meal was twice-cooked pork and capers with minced meat.

After watching the food in the cafeteria, Qiao Guoxing suddenly felt a little upset when he looked at the boxed lunch in his hand.If I had known that the food in the cafeteria was so rich today, why would I need to spend another eight yuan for a boxed lunch?

'After work tomorrow, I have to come to the cafeteria to see what the food is, and then decide whether to go out to buy lunch! '

After finishing the meal and waiting for the daughter-in-law to come over and start eating together, the two first took a bite of the food in the cafeteria.

How to put it, it's not bad, but I always feel that the taste is a little bit bad.

After taking a bite of the food produced by Xu An's family, yes, it tastes like this!

The frequency of the chopsticks of the two people stretching towards the lunch box became higher and higher, and finally stopped on the last piece of braised pork at the same time, and neither of them was willing to let go of their chopsticks.

In the end, Qiao Guoxing was defeated under the staring death of his own wife, and lost control over this piece of meat.

Seeing his daughter-in-law eating deliciously, Qiao Guoxing picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork from the canteen and threw it into his mouth, feeling like chewing wax.

'Eight yuan for a lunch box, for two people to eat, that is four yuan per person, it is still very cost-effective, or should I buy another one in the future? '

While the workers were sullenly eating, a few people in dusty clothes also walked into the cafeteria, queuing up to eat like them.

The four found a corner and sat down, carefully observing the expressions of the workers when they were eating.

Their task today is to examine the food level of the canteen contractor and the workers' satisfaction with the canteen contractor.

There are a total of three inspections. If the contractor fails the evaluation for two consecutive times, he will be eliminated and replaced with a new contractor.

"There are vegetables, meat, and soup. The type of dishes has passed."

"Both dishes are heavy in oil and salt, and they are also served with rice. They meet the meal standards of the construction site and are qualified."

"I chatted with the workers here, and the workers reported that pasta was the main food for the first half of the month, and the toppings were not enough."

The four of them looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

"Since I ate noodles for half a month, how could I have made a normal meal on the day of our inspection by such a coincidence."

"Did the news come out?"

"Impossible. It's only been an hour since I received the task in the morning. The four of us have been together all the time, and the mobile phone has been put away. There is no time for leakage."

The eyes of the four collided again, and the four thought of one person at the same time, their leader, who also knew about this mission.

Could it be the leader?
"Do our own work well and report it truthfully."

"agree."

The remaining three seconded.
