Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 28 I'm tired and sleepy, let's have a box lunch

The National IV vehicle that Liu Zhiguo used to drive can no longer enter the port area.

I had no choice but to seek a bank loan again and replace the car with a National VI vehicle. This meant I had to pay several thousand dollars in loans every month.

Although he runs a lot, he still feels like he is working for a bank every month.

After packing his lunch, Liu Zhiguo walked back to his car.

At this time, Ding Yao and the other man who were about to leave stopped him and said, "Brother, finish your meal here before you leave, and take a rest."

As he said this, he handed him a cigarette.

We are all in the same industry, so we can better understand each other's sufferings.

"Thank you."

Liu Zhiguo took the cigarette, smiled tiredly, and sat down at the table in front of them.

He knew that driving for four hours straight was fatigue driving, but sometimes he had no choice.

Liu Zhiguo opened the lid of the lunch box and took a smell.

It's quite fragrant.

The appearance of the dishes cheered Liu Zhiguo up.

The braised chicken legs are shiny and juicy, and the purple eggplant looks delicious with the embellishment of green and red peppers.

He also finds home-cooked dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes particularly delicious.

There are also green mixed cucumbers, covered with fine garlic paste, and red chili oil flows through the gaps between the cucumbers.

With the delicious food in front of him, he suddenly felt less sleepy.

“When did boxed lunches start looking like this?”

Liu Zhiguo picked up the chicken leg and started to chew it. The chicken leg meat was rich in flavor, soft and tender, not dry, and very fresh.

Really delicious.

A big chicken leg relieved my hunger and fatigue.

"Boss, do you have a spoon?"

It is more enjoyable to eat rice with a spoon.

Li Rui brought over a disposable spoon.

Disposable spoons are usually made of plastic, which are soft and short, making them inconvenient to use when eating.

Li Rui specially bought the thicker and harder ones to make it more convenient for diners to eat.

Liu Zhiguo took the spoon and started eating frantically.

The roasted eggplant is soft and tasty, with a thick sauce covering the surface of the eggplant, which is sour and sweet with a hint of chili aftertaste. Although it is completely vegetarian, the eggplant tastes like meat.

After eating two bites of the roasted eggplant, he scooped the scrambled eggs with tomatoes onto the rice.

The sauce from the scrambled eggs with tomatoes soaked through the rice, quickly turning it a light red.

The soft and golden eggs are very conspicuous among the tomatoes. They are no less abundant than the tomatoes, with plenty of ingredients and the surface is dotted with green chopped green onions.

Liu Zhiguo took a big bite of the rice.

The eggs are fluffy and break when your teeth touch them, and the tender touch soothes your mouth and tongue.

The sweet flavor of fresh tomatoes is very rich in the broth and eggs.

The texture of the tomatoes is just right, not too soft or mushy, retaining a unique texture that enriches the taste of the whole dish.

The rich soup of the whole dish, wrapped with rice, plays the pastoral melody of autumn in the mouth.

Liu Zhiguo finished all the food.

All the fatigue in my body was swept away.

He felt that he could drive the goods along the Belt and Road Initiative directly from rivers and seas to the Caspian Sea.

Being a truck driver means running around day and night. The food you eat is always varied, including instant noodles, sausages, and sometimes even steamed buns and pickled mustard.

The food will only be improved when it comes to unloading.

The lunch boxes sold on the roadside can only be treated as blind boxes, as you never know what’s inside.

Truck drivers never dare to ask for too much in terms of taste, hygiene conditions, and freshness of food.

But this time, the lunch box Liu Zhiguo ate suddenly refreshed his understanding of lunch boxes.

The food is delicious and the ingredients are fresh. Even the boss himself is eating it, so the hygiene must be good.

really not bad.

He turned on his phone and sent his location and a selfie to the truck drivers’ group “Wind and Rain Together”.

"Brothers, the lunch boxes here are really delicious. If you pass by, you can come and try them. There is also a place to park." "Really? I'm refueling at a nearby gas station and I'm hungry."

"Fuck, where are they selling boxed lunches? The instant noodles I just made don't smell good anymore."

"Come on, Lao Lin, it's right next to Jianghai Avenue."

"Old Liu is so handsome again. I just finished unloading the cargo at the port. I am so tired. Let's wash my feet together in the evening."

The truck drivers on board are from all over the world, and they all have their own stories.

Everyone has their own preferences.

The simple sign "Boxed lunch 15" attracts passing drivers to stop from time to time.

At this time, a large truck loaded with steel coils slowly drove over.

The driver, Master Luo, picked up the intercom in the car and shouted into the channel:

"Dongyao Dongyao, I'm Dongguai. I found a box lunch shop on Jianghai Avenue and parked my car on the side of the road."

"Got it, we'll be there soon."

Lao Luo parked the car, and the hot-rolled steel coils on the car were still steaming.

These hot-rolled steels will be shipped from the port of Jianghai City to all parts of the country and become the skeleton of urban bridges.

There is a saying in the truck driver circle: "I would rather die of poverty than pull pipes, and I would rather die of hunger than pull rolls." If it weren't for the pressure of life, who would be willing to pull these goods?

Lao Luo came to Li Rui's lunch box:

"How many lunch boxes are left, boss?"

Li Rui was delighted. From the tone of the voice, he knew that a big order was coming.

"A few dozen will definitely be enough. How many do you want?"

"One."

Okay, you’re awesome.

When Li Rui heard this answer, the spoon he was using to serve the food paused for a moment.

Lao Luo also laughed, "There is a team behind me, about a dozen people."

"No problem. The lunch box is full of food. Whatever dishes you want, choose three for 15 yuan, and you will get a free smashed cucumber." Li Rui said as he opened the lid.

Lao Luo took a look at the food in the thermos.

"Hey, it looks pretty good. Give me a chicken drumstick, an eggplant, and some tomato and eggs."

They are all good dishes to go with rice and the price is not expensive.

For drivers who have irregular meals three times a day, fresh and delicious meals are so delicious.

"Do you have steamed buns, boss?"

"I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to do it."

This reminded Li Rui that he could make some steamed buns tomorrow.

Lao Luo took the food but did not start eating immediately. Instead, he took a bag of drinks from the car's refrigerator and waited for his colleagues in the team.

"Come on, boss. It's so hot, I'll give you a can."

He handed over a can of Coke.

Li Rui was attacked at his weak spot.

An iced Coke is irresistible.

"Master, let me add another dish for you. Bring it here."

A few minutes later, the huge convoy of steel coils arrived at the lunch box point on Jianghai Avenue.

Lao Luo directed his colleagues in the fleet to park the trucks one by one.

Thirteen heavy-duty semi-trailer tractors were all loaded with steaming steel coils. The scene was quite spectacular for those who saw it for the first time.

Li Rui was even a little scared in his heart.

There's no need to have steel coils printed on the road just because you're selling lunch boxes.

He could only ask Lao Luo: "Master, this is not dangerous, right?"

Lao Luo explained to Li Rui: "This is a vehicle that is specially used to transport steel coils. It has hydraulic supports. Don't worry."

That's good, that's good.

Li Rui felt relieved.

Lao Luo called out to his colleagues: "Hurry up, hot lunch boxes are ready."
