Author: Fried Chicken Family Bucket

Although he didn't have to sell vegetables today, he still had to work on making lunch boxes. Xu An still got up at four o'clock in the morning.

After getting up and washing up, I took a flashlight and rode my bicycle to the town.

When we arrived at the wholesale market in the town, there was only a hint of light in the sky, and the wholesale market was already bustling with activity.

Based on yesterday's memory, Xu An found an area selling chilled ingredients.

Chilled ingredients are indeed not that fresh compared to fresh ingredients, but the food that can enter the wholesale market and be sold at least meets the national food safety standards.

It just tastes a little worse than fresh ingredients.

"That kid over there, yes, he's talking about you."

I was observing which of these restaurants had better quality ingredients. Suddenly I heard a voice and subconsciously looked up. The person speaking was a fat and muscular bald man with a pair of large tattoos on his arms. He was pointing at me.

Xu An was very sure that he did not know this man, so he stood there without moving, looking at the bald man quietly.

"Bald Chen, I asked you to wear long sleeves. With your image, no one will be afraid of you." The stall owner next to Bald Chen laughed mercilessly when he saw this.

"What kind of weather is this? Wear long sleeves and you won't get too hot."

After hesitating for a moment, Xu An walked over. After all, among these shops, Bald Chen's meat was of the best quality.

"I saw you boy yesterday, and I thought you wouldn't come here to buy meat, but I didn't expect you to come here today."

"Why does the boss think I won't come?" Xu An took out the box of Double Happiness from his pocket, pulled out one and handed it to Bald Chen.

Bald Chen took it and put it behind his ear, leaned towards Xu An, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I saw it yesterday. When you went out, the man handed you a leaflet. Take a look.

After finishing the flyer, you walked over there.

Eight out of ten people who go that way will never come back. They are all blinded by money and obsessed with money. Especially the younger they are, the more they feel it doesn't matter."

It turned out that after seeing the scene yesterday, Xu An smiled but did not answer, and carefully selected the pork on the stall.

It is best to use fatty pork for steamed meatloaf. If it is too lean, it will feel dry, and if it is too fat, it will feel greasy. The most appropriate ratio is 30/70 or 28/20.

I picked a few pieces and put them into a red plastic bag, weighed them about ten kilograms, and handed them to the bald boss to weigh.

"Eleven pounds, seven yuan per pound, Chenghui's total is seventy-seven yuan."

He took out the money from the inner pocket of his pants, counted out seventy-seven yuan and handed it to the boss. After taking the meat, he walked to the daily necessities area.

One hundred disposable plastic lunch boxes cost 35 cents each, a total of 35 yuan; one hundred disposable plastic soup boxes cost 10 cents each, a total of 10 yuan; one hundred pairs of disposable chopsticks cost 5 yuan; and one hundred pairs of disposable spoons cost 6 yuan.

Fifty pieces of money; one hundred transparent plastic bags cost six yuan a bundle; the total expenses totaled sixty-two yuan.

If grandma hadn't given him three hundred yuan, and if Uncle Dongliang hadn't promised to bring twenty people over, Xu An would have planned to make a ten-ten-box lunch to try first. If the sales were good, he would slowly increase the quantity instead of buying it all at once.

So many things.

On the way out, I passed by a steel products stall, and I was suddenly attracted by the soup buckets that are commonly seen in major restaurants and fast food restaurants.

It takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle from home to the Bauhinia Garden construction site. There are inevitable bumps along the way, and the soup is likely to spill. If you pack a whole bucket and repack it when you get to the construction site, you won't have this worry.

After asking about the price of fifty-one, Xu An gritted his teeth and paid for one.

I have almost bought all the things I need today, and I carry a lot of things back to the place where the bicycle is parked. I put the things into the basket, and then use the hook belt to fix the basket on the back seat of the bicycle.

During this period, Xu An saw several figures walking in the direction of Anxin Food Processing Company.

Business is really good.

Xu An muttered something in his mind, got on his bicycle and rode towards home.

When he returned to the village, he saw a man riding a tricycle blocking the door of his house from a distance. The distance was getting closer and closer, and Xu An could see clearly the face of the man, it was Xu Heping.

"You have no loyalty. You didn't tell me when you wanted to do business. If I hadn't met Uncle Dongliang, I would have been kept in the dark by you." Xu Heping started yelling when he saw Xu An.

"Isn't it just the beginning? I didn't know if it would work, so I didn't call you." Xu An got off the seat and pushed the bicycle closer: "Where did you get the tricycle?"

"I haven't used the old antiques at home for several years. I thought you might be able to use them, so I cleaned them out. I tinkered with them all night and they worked." Xu Heping patted the tricycle seat proudly: "This is better than yours.

That bike is much more reliable.”

Xu Heping came to the door himself, and Xu An naturally had no reason to refuse. He took him into the courtyard and commanded him to help with peace of mind.

Although Uncle Dongliang doesn't get off work until twelve o'clock, workers with different functions on the construction site get off work at different times. Starting from 10:30, some people will get off work one after another.

So Xu An had to arrive at the construction site at 11 o'clock at the latest. If it was later, everyone would have eaten outside.

Cut what should be cut, pickle what should be marinated, and chop what should be minced. I was busy from seven to eight o'clock before all the ingredients were processed.

When Xu Kang and Xu Le woke up, they saw Xu An and two people working in the yard. They stopped playing with the sand and followed them, shouting for help.

The two four-year-old little Dou Ding couldn't help with the washing of vegetables, and it was impossible for them to help with chopping vegetables. Finally, they were sent to sit in front of the stove to wait for the cooking and help light the fire, and the two stopped making trouble.

Although the two of them are young, their fire-making skills have reached the full level. Xu An can make a big fire if he says it is a big fire, and a small fire if he wants a small fire. It is easier to use than a gas stove.

At half past nine, the rice was already cooked and put into the soup bucket.

Xu An continued to work at the stove, preparing to cook tomato and egg drop soup. Xu Heping began to pack the meals into boxes. Xu Kang and Xu Le put chopsticks and spoons on each bagged lunch, and the process was carried out in an orderly manner.

.

The meals were packed one by one and placed in two large foam boxes brought by Xu Heping. There were fifteen servings in each box, which was just enough to be filled.

Rinse the soup bucket, dry it with paper towels, and put in the freshly cooked tomato and egg drop soup.

Xu An easily moved the two foam boxes and soup buckets filled with lunch boxes to the tricycle, fixed them with belts, and the preliminary work was completed.

The five of them had lunch with the remaining food. At exactly ten o'clock, Xu An and his two men were about to set off for the construction site.

Before going out, Xu An always felt that something was missing. After thinking for a while, he realized that there was no brand. He went back to the house to find a piece of paper and wrote today's dishes on it, writing 'Xu's Fast Food' at the top.

When Xu An was adjusting the sign, Xu Kang and Xule saw that half of the seats on the tricycle were empty after putting down the lunch boxes. The two of them climbed up and squatted behind them, refusing to get off despite saying anything.

Xu An had no choice but to go to the house and get two straw hats for the two of them to wear, and asked them to sit firmly in the carriage.

Stepping on the pedals, Xu An rode a tricycle in front, and Xu Heping followed behind on a bicycle, riding towards the Bauhinia Garden construction site.
