Chapter 14 A little helper for attracting customers

"Come on, let me introduce you to everyone. This is my brother Xu An. He is a good cook. He came to our construction site today to sell lunch boxes to benefit us.

The lunch box costs eight yuan a piece, three dishes and one soup, so you can be a good person."

Uncle Dongliang didn't regard himself as an outsider. He came over and stood next to Xu An and helped greet him, just like the second boss of the stall.

As for Xu Heping, he took Xu Kang and Xu Le to the side. There were too many people, so we had to watch the children. Who knew if there were bad people among them.

The worker brought over by Uncle Dongliang did not hesitate after seeing the food. He picked up a box and handed it to Xu An with the money.

Perhaps Uncle Dongliang had arranged for them in advance, and the money he handed over was eight yuan, so there was no need to give change at all.

This group of people didn't leave even after buying their food. They piled here and there, found a shade tree, and squatted down to eat.

After they all finished buying, Uncle Dongliang picked up a box of lunch and handed Xu An eight yuan.

"Uncle, no need, I'll treat you to food then."

"Brothers settle accounts clearly, and business is business. If you come to someone you know and don't charge money, you will still be able to do business." He couldn't help but put the money into Xu An's hands, took the box lunch to the shade of the tree, and met with the others

The co-workers squatted together and started eating.

Xu An sorted out the remaining box lunches in the foam boxes, and found that there were only six boxes left. Uncle Dongliang sold twenty-four box lunches this time.

Xu Le bit his fingers and looked sideways at Qiao Xingguo, who was standing hesitantly beside the tricycle. He suddenly broke free from Xu Heping's hand and ran quickly in the direction of Qiao Xingguo.

"Uncle, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" Xu Le tugged at the corner of Qiao Xingguo's clothes: "The rice cooked by my brother is super delicious. Look at my belly. I'm full."

.”

While talking, Xu Le wanted to lift up her clothes to show Qiao Xingguo her round belly. Xu An, who reacted in time, held her down and gave Xu Le a look that said, "I'll settle the score with you later."

.

Xu Le was immediately unconvinced and argued loudly with Xu An: "The food cooked by my brother is super delicious!"

This cry was soft and soft, rather than being angry, it was more like being coquettish.

This made the workers who had just bought box lunches and were devouring their meals laughed out loud and gave the two people a thumbs up.

"Yes, the lunch box is delicious."

His words were recognized, and Xu Le was immediately very proud. He put his hands on his hips and raised his head to look at Xu An through his nostrils.

Not to be outdone, Xu Kang dragged Xu Heping to the door of the construction site and shouted inside: "My brother is selling lunch boxes, super delicious lunch boxes."

As he shouted, several workers who were walking towards the construction site canteen turned their heads and looked this way, as if they were aroused, and after some discussion, they came this way.

Smelling the aroma of food in the air, looking at the little girl next to her with her big eyes flashing, I thought of my daughter back home. His daughter was about the same age as Xu Le.

Qiao Xingguo slowly raised his right hand and accurately picked up a lunch box.

"Uncle, a box lunch is eight yuan." Xu Le reminded him at the right time.

Qiao Xingguo took out a ten-dollar note from his pocket and handed it to Xu Le, asking gently: "Uncle gave you ten dollars, how much should you ask uncle for?"

Xu Le took the money and handed it directly to Xu An, and replied very seriously: "Uncle, I haven't gone to school yet and I don't know how to count."

This sentence once again amused the people eating around him.

Several people recruited by Xu Kang over there also walked to the door, looked at the people eating under the tree, and walked over to see what dishes were in the lunch boxes.

The man didn't mind and spread the lunch box generously so that they could see it clearly.

When several people saw the large meat patties in the lunch box, the red-colored meaty eggplants filled with soup, and the cabbage vermicelli with attractive oily splashes, they swallowed at the same time and rushed to come.

When I reached the tricycle, I reached out and picked up a lunch box.

Amid Xu Kang's warm solicitation, several groups of workers came one after another, offering at least one to two or three copies, and the remaining six copies were sold out.

Xu An packed up his tricycle and squatted under the shade of a tree with Xu Heping, waiting for Uncle Dongliang's feedback.

Qiao Xingguo squatted back under the tree with his lunch box, and first opened the lunch box containing rice. The rice inside was plump and soft, and had the unique aroma of a wood stove.

When I poked the meat patty with chopsticks, the meat juice oozed out from the gaps in the meat patty, exuding the fragrance of pork.

Pick up an eggplant, and the thick soup slowly slides down from the surface of the eggplant without dripping.

You don’t need to take a closer look at the cabbage vermicelli at the end, you can see that it is very delicious and can satisfy your hunger.

For the first time, Qiao Xingguo felt that his wife had left work so late and came so slowly. He quickly put all the lids back on, and he couldn't help but want to eat first after reading more.

Uncle Dongliang also worked on the construction site for several years, and developed the habit of devouring food. This box lunch, including rice, vegetables and soup, weighed almost three kilograms.

After that, he let out a long belch.

This meal was really enjoyable.

Several brothers around Uncle Dongliang followed his example, straightening their necks and burping comfortably.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally had a decent meal. What I ate before was just to fill my stomach, and it couldn’t be called eating at all.

Although they were migrant workers, everyone still bagged the empty lunch boxes and threw them into the trash can.

Someone squatted next to Xu An, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out two and handed them to Xu An and Xu Heping.

"Why don't you come tomorrow? As long as your food is still of this standard and at this price, I will buy it when I see it."

"If you think it's delicious and want to eat it, I'll come back tomorrow."

"It's delicious, it's delicious. It's best to come here every day. I can't stand the crap in the cafeteria anymore."

At the same time, large groups of people were pouring out of the construction site after work.

My eyes immediately lit up when I saw the paper signboard Xu An placed on the tricycle. When I got closer, I saw that there were only two empty foam boxes. I was a little disappointed, so I turned around and walked towards the row of restaurants across the road.

Qiao Guoxing's daughter-in-law is as strong as Qiao Guoxing. She has a neat short haircut and looks extremely heroic.

She walked out of the gate of the construction site, glanced left and right, saw Qiao Guoxing, strode to his side, took off her safety helmet and sat down.

"I didn't see you in the cafeteria, so I knew you came out to open a small stove. The lunch boxes I bought today have all kinds of dishes."

Qiao Guoxing looked at his wife and smiled, lining up three lunch boxes in front of her.

"Meat patties with eggs, eggplant with minced meat, vermicelli with cabbage, white rice, and tomato and egg drop soup." He raised the soup above his head as he spoke: "Look at this soup, there are real tomatoes and eggs in it.

Flowers are not like those used to wash pots of water."

Qiao Guoxing's wife looked at the boxes of food in front of her with a look of pain on her face.

"Today the foreman has increased your salary and given you a bonus. How much does it cost to buy so much food?"

"Guess how much it is?"

"Looking at this dish, it costs at least ten yuan."

"Then you are wrong. Such a box lunch only costs eight yuan. This is made by Xu Dongliang's younger brother from the work team next door. Look over there, Xu Dongliang has just finished eating."

Qiao Guoxing's wife looked in the direction of Qiao Guoxing's finger. She had seen this man several times at the construction site, but she didn't know his name.

"That shouldn't be wrong. If he was trying to trick people, he wouldn't dare to come out and recognize this younger brother. Otherwise, his younger brother would run away, and his older brother wouldn't be able to run away while working at this construction site."

As he spoke, he tore open his chopsticks, took a large piece of meatloaf into his mouth, and paired it with a mouthful of rice. He was so relieved that his eyes narrowed.

"Ah, this is normal eating. Feeding noodles with toppings every day feels like feeding pigs."

Afterwards, the two of them took one bite and I took one bite and scraped the lunch box clean. After finishing the meal, the two of them were still a little bit unfinished.

"There are quite a lot of dishes, but the rice is a bit short. It would be nice to have more lunch boxes."

"Be content, think about it. At the Jiajia fast food restaurant across the street, a chicken drumstick, some vegetables and a box of rice cost eight yuan."

Uncle Dongliang stretched, walked to Xu An and patted his shoulder: "It's pretty good, keep up the good work, and I'll pull your head for you."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Dongliang." Xu An took out a cigarette and handed it to Uncle Dongliang.

Uncle Dongliang took the cigarette and slapped Xu An on the back of the head: "When did you learn to smoke and from whom? Why don't you learn this if you are good?"

"This isn't business. How can we start a conversation without bringing a pack of cigarettes?"

"Yes, you can do it."
