Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 51

Ding Nan and Luo Min received the notification at 52:[-] noon as usual, went to the front desk to retrieve the boxed lunch, and turned off the screen to start eating as soon as twelve o'clock arrived.

At first, other people in the office felt that the food stalls were not hygienic, but they saw that Ding Nan and the two had been eating here for several days.

The meals I saw these days, not all of them suit their appetites, but there are always one or two dishes that suit their appetites.

Especially when a few of us go out to eat every day, and when we come back sweating profusely, when we see the two resting leisurely after eating, the balance in my heart begins to shake a little bit.

The two of them have been eating for so long, so it should be fine;
On such a hot day, it seems good to be able to eat without going out;

Let’s look at today’s dishes, the white and red fish with chopped peppers, the hot and sour cold salad, the refreshing cabbage and fungus, and a box full of crystal clear rice, it’s really attractive!

By coincidence, Sister Liu walked uncontrollably between Ding Nan and Luo Min with her feet, and opened her mouth uncontrollably.

"Xiao Ding Xiao Luo, do you want to order a lunch box tomorrow, can you add a sister?"

As soon as these words came out, several unanimous voices appeared one after another in the office.

"Add me too."

Ding Nan and Luo Min were so frightened that they choked and beat their chests for a long time before they recovered.

"Well, when we just picked up the lunch, we already ordered tomorrow's box lunch. You have to go to the opposite booth to make an order, or we can help you make a reservation tomorrow when we pick up the box lunch?"

Hearing this, Sister Liu had a look of disappointment on her face.

If you make a reservation tomorrow, you have to sit in the office and wait for the meal the day after tomorrow, but if you make a reservation today, you can sit and wait for the meal tomorrow.

Why don't you make a reservation for tomorrow's box lunch when you go out to eat?
After asking about the exact location of the lunch box booth, Sister Liu and the others rushed to the box lunch booth.

Suddenly found that there were still a lot of boxed lunches on the booth, and burst into laughter: "Boss, each of us has a boxed lunch!"

Liang Dani raised her head in a daze. Didn't she just say that all the lunch boxes are sold out? Why is there still someone here?

When I looked up, I found that there were a few very unfamiliar people, and it should be the first time to come to consume.

"I'm sorry, today's lunch boxes are sold out." Liang Dani said to Sister Liu and the others with some embarrassment.

Sister Liu was a little puzzled looking at the boxed lunches on the booth, and pointed to the boxed lunches and asked, "Aren't these all boxed lunches?"

"These were ordered by others, and I have to deliver them to them in a while." Liang Dani thought for a while and said, "If you work nearby, you can order tomorrow's box lunch, and the delivery is only 300 cents for a distance of [-] meters nearby." fee."

Although I felt a little disappointed when I heard Liang Dani's words, I also had a little more confidence in this stall.

With such a large order volume every day, there should be no problem.

Immediately, Sister Liu placed an order with a few colleagues, and it was enough to report Sister Liu's name when the time came.

When Xu An came back, Liang Dani told Xu An the order, and Xu An nodded and wrote down the new order in his notebook.

Since the launch of the distribution business, office workers have seen the fastest growth in orders, ranging from two to three to eight or nine a day, and the number is steadily increasing.

During the period, the infrastructure construction of the Haishi Library was completed, and more than 100 workers were evacuated. Now there are only more than 200 workers on the construction site, and more and more workers should be withdrawn from the construction site in the future.

Xu An couldn't help but rejoice that he had developed a group of office workers here, which had unlimited potential for development.

Now that I have a shop and some confidence, I will find a way to spread the popularity of my shop among office workers.

Whenever they don't know what to eat at noon, they will think of Xu's fast food.

Xujiacun.

As soon as Xu An returned to the courtyard, Xu Kang and Xu Le ran over and hugged Xu An's legs, looking up at him expectantly.

"Brother, are you still going to the store today?"

"Brother, I will help you today, can you buy us popsicles?"

"Okay, okay, let go first, brother will take you there after changing his clothes." Xu An agreed after pinching the faces of the two of them.

When the two little guys heard that Xu An agreed, they immediately became happy and ran wildly all over the yard, yelling as they ran, "Woooo, let's go to the store to help my brother, and my brother will buy us popsicles, that's great! "

When Xu An walked into the main room, he saw his grandma sitting up from the bed and staring at him through the door opening.

Only then did Xu An realize that he seemed to have forgotten to tell his grandma about opening the shop.

"Anzi, I've been hearing them talking about you opening a store all day today, and I'm going to help you in the store. What's going on?"

Xu An hesitated for a moment, this is not a bad thing, he even said that he plans not to go to university, what is opening a shop!

He moved a wooden stool to sit beside the bed, and told the whole story of these days.

In the end, thinking that although my grandma has never read any books, she is good at planning, and said half-jokingly: "Grandma, when the store opens, we will all go to the store every morning. How is the cashier?"

Grandma Xu looked at Xu An, and suddenly felt that the grandson in front of her was a little strange.

From the very beginning when he wanted to start a box lunch business, she thought it was just a young man's impulse; but she didn't expect that he would really stick to it, and he would do it brilliantly.

At this time, she felt that Xu An could earn some living expenses, and it would be even better if she could earn college tuition fees; she didn't expect that it was only half a month, and even the storefront was rented out, ready to open a store.

This is, do you really plan to go to university?

Seeing the change of expression on Grandma Xu's face, Xu An guessed what she was thinking, and reached out to hold Grandma Xu's hand.

"Grandma, I decided not to go to college after careful consideration. It's not just because of my family. I feel that I can't live without me. You don't need to blame yourself for this, and feel that you are dragging me down."

In order to ease the tense and almost frozen atmosphere, Xu An pretended to be relaxed and continued to speak.

"My grades in the college entrance examination are not high, and I don't have enough majors in good schools. It's better to come out to make money earlier. Besides, if this business can't continue, I can go back and repeat my studies. Take the college entrance examination again, isn't it?"

Grandma Xu looked at Xu An for a long while, and finally nodded: "Since you have already made up your mind, it's up to you. Now this family is in your hands, and you will be in charge in the future."

Afterwards, Grandma Xu began to tell Xu An about the annual income of the family and the amount of savings in the family, and described everything in detail.

After listening to Xu An, he felt that his decision not to go to university was very correct. The stable income of his family was only [-] yuan per year for the land rent.

The output of the vegetable garden is less than [-] a year, which is extremely unstable. A lot of energy and money have to be invested, and the net profit is less than half.

This year's income of more than 6000 yuan, since it is responsible for the daily expenses of one old and two children, and also supports the daily life of a college student, no matter how the funds are arranged, there is a huge gap.

Suddenly, Xu An could understand why Grandma Xu agreed to send Xu Kang and Xu Le to her sister-in-law's house in her previous life, because the income of more than 6000 yuan really couldn't support a family.

After explaining all the situation at home, Grandma Xu showed a relaxed expression on her face, she held Xu An's hand behind her back, and patted it gently.

After Xu An left, Grandma Xu suddenly heard what Xu An said just now—going to the store to help collect the bill, two blushes suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face, and she muttered in a low voice: "I am such an old woman, That's where you can do it."

Although he was refusing, his eyes were on the old wooden box in the corner of the bedroom.

Inside the wooden box, besides the clothes, there is also a shiny old abacus, which is Grandma Xu's favorite thing.

　Our grandma here is called Aran, and every household calls it like this. I don’t know why, but it feels quite special.
