Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 176
Peng Kaiqun is the director of the company's procurement department. He came to participate in the Haishi Machinery Expo this time mainly to purchase new equipment for the company to replace the old equipment. His main task is to record the parameters and prices of the required equipment and send them back to the company. The top of the company decides which company to buy from.

Before he came, he knew that the Haishi Convention and Exhibition Center did not provide any catering services, and the surrounding area was even more barren without any facilities.So, before leaving in the morning, he bought a breakfast set at a McDonald's near the hotel, hamburger + Coke, and took a piece to the Haishi Convention and Exhibition Center.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a signboard at the door, which indicated that a catering area had been opened on the east side of the first floor of the convention center. Six well-known hotels in the city provided catering services. Exhibitors in need were welcome. Go to the dining area to consume meals.

Peng Kaiqun glanced at it and left without paying attention to it.He has participated in eighty or one hundred exhibitions, and he has seen what the restaurants in the exhibition look like.

A bottle of mineral water that costs 15 yuan outside costs 30 yuan a bottle inside, and a bottle of fast food that costs 40 yuan outside costs [-] yuan or even [-] yuan a piece inside.He touched the hamburger and coke in his bag, and had a casual meal at noon, and then went to have a good meal in the evening, so as not to waste money in the convention center.

The time for serious work always flies very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was 52:[-] noon. I saw many booth staff coming back with lunch boxes.Peng Kaiqun also felt that he was a bit hungry, so he found an empty seat in the rest area and sat down, took out the cold hamburger and the stale, no longer cold Coke, and ate the hamburger and the Coke.

Suddenly, a scent came from afar, passed through his nose and then drifted into the distance.This fragrance existed for a short time, and the surrounding people didn't even notice it, but it was captured by his sensitive nose.His nose twitched slightly, and his brain analyzed the information contained in the fragrance.

The first thing you feel is the aroma of garlic that has been crushed and fried in a hot oil pan; then there is a strong and pungent spicy smell wrapped in a faint grassy aroma. I can also vaguely feel the numbness of the rattan pepper; the final finish is the sweet and moist smell of rice.
This is the aroma of food!
Peng Kaiqun raised his head and looked around in a daze, and at the first sight he saw two staff members facing each other at the booth opposite him, with several boxes of sumptuous meals placed in front of them.After taking a look at other people's meals, and then at the hamburger in my hand that was so cold, the bread became soft, the vegetables were wilted, and the sauce was sticky, I suddenly felt a little hard to swallow.

Eat whatever you want at noon, and go to the hotel to eat delicious food at night.

After comforting himself for a few words, the hamburger, which seemed to have no appetite, was raised to his mouth again. Peng Kaiqun opened his mouth to the maximum, and when he wanted to finish the rest of the hamburger with two bites, an extremely strong smell of food suddenly filled the exhibition center. exploded from above.

His overly sensitive nose allowed him to instantly catch the flavors coming from which dishes, such as garlic meat, mapo tofu, vermicelli cabbage, corn and carrot big bone soup
Depend on!Now I really can't bear it!
Peng Kaiqun stood up abruptly, stuffed half of the hamburger and two-thirds of the Coke in his hand directly into the trash can, followed the instructions posted on the ground, and strode towards the east side of the negative floor.When Peng Kaiqun arrived on the first floor, there were bustling crowds everywhere.Some plan to go to the dining area to eat like myself, and some buy good meals from the dining area and go back.

As the flow of people moved forward, Peng Kaiqun observed those who had bought their meals and walked back. Most of them were carrying a boxed lunch with the word "Xu" printed on it in a plastic bag.It seems that this shop with 'Xu' in its name is the most popular one, so give this one a try for yourself.

The flow of people moved very fast, and Peng Kaiqun had already seen six booths set up in the hall ahead.His eyes quickly scanned the six booths, and finally landed on the only one with a door among the six booths.Because of the crowd in front, Peng Kaiqun could only see the banner at the top of the door and the first four characters of the couplet.

'Contracting company', 'Takeout all over the city', 'Want to discuss in detail'

Peng Kaiqun knows what takeaway is, and "intentionally discussing in detail" is even more straightforward, but what does "contracting company" mean?
Prompted by curiosity, he squeezed in front of the booth, and finally saw all the content on the opposite face.It turns out that it can provide staff meals for major companies, and this advertisement has been placed in the exhibition center. The owner of this hotel really does not miss any promotional opportunity!

After looking at it, I was about to leave. When I was looking for the booth with "Xu" in the name, the two people standing at the front of the booth got the boxed lunch and left, revealing the tablecloth covering the simple table. There was a big "Xu" printed on the tablecloth. Character!found it!

Xu An thought about the [-] packed lunches, and the rest was just the work of collecting money and making change, so he took this work on himself.Let Wang Datou, who is obviously the driver but has been busy in the kitchen all morning, find a place to rest.

At [-]:[-], there were not many people who came to buy boxed lunches, and it was very easy for two or three kittens to deal with it. Xu An even had the leisure to continue painting big cakes for Wang Fulong next door.

But as time went by, more and more people came down the escalator and the elevator, and came towards the six booths in a steady stream.At the beginning, these exhibitors would compare the box lunch prices and dishes of the six companies before making a decision, but as more and more people came, they would basically buy whichever one was closest to them. Xu’s Fast Food The store's booth happened to be the first one down the handrail, and Xu An was so busy that he didn't even touch the floor.

This side only received ten yuan for a piece of money, and several people handed the money to him at the same time; as soon as he took the boxed lunch in his hand, there were more than a dozen hands stretched out towards him.Even so, Xu An still insisted on handing the flyer and business card to the customer when getting the change, and said with a smile: "This store has a group purchase ordering business. If you need it, you can contact me through the business card. As long as the company is in Haishi City It can be delivered in the area.”

Peng Kaiqun, who came here specially to buy box lunches from Xu's fast food restaurant, naturally received two yuan in change, a leaflet and a business card.After receiving the lunch box, he stuffed all the change, leaflets, and business cards into his trouser pockets, and went to the dining area to find an empty seat and prepare to eat.

After finally finding an empty seat in the vast crowd, I took a few steps and sat down before others. When I sat down, I still felt the residual warmth left by the previous person.But at this time, it is very difficult to have a chair to sit on, so I don't care about that much.With both hands, he untied the plastic bag outside the lunch box and took out the box lunch inside.The dishes were exactly the same as what I smelled, there was no slight difference.

It looks very good too!Pulling away the chopsticks and swiping twice to prepare to eat, the two people at the next table have finished their meal and are chatting.Because the distance between the tables is quite close, the content of their conversation entered Peng Kaiqun's ears verbatim.

"Do you know the origin of this Xu's fast food restaurant?"

"What's the origin? According to the name of this restaurant, it should be a relatively well-known large chain fast food restaurant in Haishi? But the taste and price are really good, and it's normal to be able to expand the business."

"Hahahahaha, then you are wrong." The man opposite asked with a mysterious smile on his face, "How long do you think this store has been established?"

"It's been a few years, right?" The man said with some uncertainty in his tone.

"No, no, this Xu's fast food restaurant has been open for less than three months!" The man stretched out his right hand and made a 'three' gesture to emphasize this fact.

"Impossible." The man lowered his voice and asked, "Does the owner of this Xu's fast food restaurant have any background?"

"Then you are wrong again. This boss is poor and useless, and he opened the store after struggling."

The words went around and around, and the person who didn't know the truth was directly confused, and urged his companion to speak up and not play charades.Under the repeated urging of his companion, this person finally told all the information he knew about Xu's fast food restaurant.

"This Xu's fast food restaurant, at the beginning, was just a box lunch stand opened at the entrance of the construction site. It developed a takeaway delivery service and provided staff meals for many companies. There may be three or four hundred companies serving. In the end, Li The other five hotels with long history and reputation in the city have won the food standard of the expo and provided meals to the exhibitors. You will take a closer look later, are the box lunches eaten by those exhibitors all from Xu’s fast food? from the shop."

After the man finished speaking, he still had a lot to say, but the history of Xu's fast food restaurant is too short, so he couldn't find something suitable to talk about, so he had to give up.

"How do you know this Xu's fast food restaurant so well?" The person opposite asked the question that Peng Kaiqun also wanted to ask.

"Hey." The man smiled a little embarrassedly: "Most of them were seen on TV. The Haishi local station filmed a documentary "Visiting Fast Food Restaurants", and this Xu's fast food restaurant was raided. A family that even got an 'excellent' rating!"

"Brother, do you know how this Xu's fast food restaurant provides staff meals for the company?" A person sitting behind the two suddenly turned around and asked, "Our company plans to reselect the hotel that serves staff meals. "

Suddenly a strange voice intervened in the conversation between the two. Peng Kaiqun looked up at the speaker, and found that the people sitting at the surrounding tables all turned to look at the two people who were chatting.It turns out that I am not the only one who is interested in this Xu's fast food restaurant, everyone is eavesdropping!

"I'm not quite sure about this." The person chatting paused for a moment, and suggested: "Didn't you give me a leaflet and a business card when you got the change? You can contact the boss directly and ask."

Flyers and business cards?
Peng Kaiqun reached into his trouser pocket with his right hand and took out a few pieces of paper, two one-dollar bills, a palm-sized business card and an A5-sized flyer.At the bottom of the leaflet is impressively written - staff meal, team meal please contact 138xxxxxxxx
Staff meals.
Peng Kaiqun's company provides lunch, but their company does not have a canteen belonging to the company. They cooperate with fast food restaurants in hotels outside to provide lunch.The restaurant that provides meals for the company recently seems to be called 'Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant', right?Peng Kaiqun looked down at the food on the table, and compared it with the lunch provided by Yipinxiang fast food restaurant in his mind.

Hmm. Compared with Yipinxiang fast food restaurant, Xu's fast food restaurant was directly KO'd!

His eyes fell on the leaflet again, and seeing the dishes for the next few days, Peng Kaiqun suddenly had an impulse.If the production of Xu's fast food restaurant is very stable these days, why not push this fast food restaurant to the administrative department to see if they can contact Xu's fast food restaurant to provide staff meals?If you don't succeed, you won't lose anything. If you succeed, you can live a life of big fish and big meat every day!
A group of people slowly gathered at the next table. They were also discussing the matter of Xu's fast food restaurant serving staff meals, and they seemed to be a little moved by this.

The booth of Xu's fast food restaurant, Xu An.

As more and more people came to buy boxed lunches, Xu An couldn't handle it alone, so he found a gap to call Wang Datou and asked him to come to help quickly.Just 2 minutes after the call was hung up, Wang Datou came to Xu An's side through thousands of mountains and rivers, and fought side by side with him.It took nearly two hours to finally sell out all the lunch boxes, and the two of them could finally sit down and rest for a while.

Although the lunch boxes were sold out, people kept coming to ask if there were any box lunches for sale, so Xu An had to take out a signature pen and write a big word 'sold out', and put it on the booth, so it was finally quiet down.

It seems a bit too much for two people to be responsible for the sales of [-] boxed meals, at least three people are needed to be busy.But there are only two seats in the insulated dining car, how can there be one more person, stuffed in the car?
Xu An shook his head, shaking this bold, unreliable and unrealistic idea out of his mind.Forget it, there are only four days left, and he and Wang Datou will get over it after a while.Xu An patted Wang Datou on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Master Wang, I have to ask you to help me sell lunch boxes at this stall for the next four days. This job is not easy, so the salary for these five days will be tripled for you." .”

"Thank you, boss!" Wang Datou didn't hesitate, and responded directly, his eyes were slit into a smile.This boss is good, you will be paid as much as you do!Fortunately, I promised Guosheng to come to work!

Xu An's voice was not low, even in this noisy hall, the voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of Wang Fulong's master and apprentice, and the two couldn't help but looked at each other when they heard this, their eyes were full of surprise.Working for your own company during normal working hours, can you still get extra money?This is really unheard of!
They were full of doubts about this, but there was an endless stream of customers who came to buy boxed lunches, and they didn't have time to think about it, smiling at the customers and entering a new wave of busyness.

Xu's fast food restaurant.

At two o'clock, there were only two or three customers left in the shop blowing fans and chatting. Everyone relaxed and packed their things to get off work.Suddenly, a slender figure appeared outside the store door, looking curiously at the environment of Xu's fast food restaurant.

"I'm sorry, all the meals prepared today have been sold out." Xu Heping just came from the No. [-] store, and saw the girl standing in front of the store, and quickly informed him that the food in the store was sold out.

"I'm not here to eat." The girl shook her head and looked at Xu Heping curiously: "Are you the owner of Xu's fast food restaurant?"

"No, what do you want to do with the boss?" Xu Heping also sized up the girl after hearing this, exuding a strong air of office workers, and he was not the same age as him, nor was he a classmate.The relatives of An Zi's family also knew each other, and the person in front of him was not among them.So why did this man come to An Zi?Alarm bells rang in Xu Heping's heart.

"I'm a new employee recruited by the boss. I'm in charge of publicity and planning. I'm here to report today. I sent a message to the boss, but they didn't reply to me." The girl said generously.

Hmm. An Zi didn't tell himself about this!
