Starting by Selling Lunch Boxes at the Construction Site

Heard the food at construction sites isn't very good?

That's convenient, because I sell lunch boxes right at the entrance of the construction site!

Eight yuan for two meat dishe...

Chapter 175 Restless Moment

He had just received a ten-yuan note when several other people simultaneously offered him money; he had barely taken the boxed lunch from his hand when more than a dozen hands reached out to him. Even so, Xu An still insisted on handing the flyer and business card to the customer when giving change, smiling and saying, "Our restaurant offers group-buying services. If you're interested, you can contact me through this business card. We can deliver as long as the company is located within the city limits of Haishi."

Peng Kaiqun, who came specifically to buy a boxed meal from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, naturally received two yuan in change, a flyer, and a business card. After taking the meal, he casually stuffed the change, flyer, and business card into his pocket and headed to the dining area to find an empty seat to start eating.

After much effort, I finally found an empty seat in the vast sea of ​​people. I took a few quick steps and sat down before anyone else, still feeling the lingering warmth of the person who sat down. But at this point, having a chair at all was a luxury, and I couldn't worry about anything else. My hands deftly untied the plastic bag from the lunchbox and took out the food. The dishes were exactly as I had smelled them, without the slightest difference.

It looks pretty good! He picked up his chopsticks, took a couple of bites, and was about to start eating when he noticed two people at the next table had already finished and were chatting. Because the tables were quite close together, Peng Kaiqun overheard their entire conversation.

Do you know anything about Xu's Fast Food Restaurant?

"What's the background of this restaurant? Judging from the name, it should be a well-known large chain fast food restaurant in Shanghai. But the taste and price are really good. It's normal for it to be able to grow its business so big."

"Hahahaha, then you're wrong." The person opposite him asked with a mysterious smile, "Guess how long this shop has been established?"

"That must have been many years, right?" The man asked, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

"No, no, no, this Xu's Fast Food Restaurant has only been open for less than three months!" The man held up his right hand and made a 'three' gesture to emphasize this fact.

"That can't be right." The man lowered his voice and asked, "Does the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant have some kind of background?"

"Then you're wrong again. This boss started from scratch and worked his way up to open the shop."

The conversation was so roundabout that the person who didn't know the truth was completely confused and urged their companion to get straight to the point instead of beating around the bush. After repeated urging from their companion, the person finally revealed all the information they knew about Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.

"This Xu's Fast Food Restaurant started out as just a lunchbox stall at the entrance of a construction site. It developed a delivery service, providing employee meals to many companies, about three or four hundred companies in total. In the end, it beat out five other established and well-known hotels in the city to win the catering contract for the expo and provided meals for the exhibitors. Take a good look later and see if the lunchboxes eaten by those exhibitors are all made by Xu's Fast Food Restaurant."

After finishing his story, the man still seemed a little unsatisfied, but the history of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was too short, and he couldn't find a suitable topic to chat about, so he had to give up.

"How do you know so much about Xu's Fast Food Restaurant?" The person opposite asked the same question that Peng Kaiqun wanted to ask.

"Hehe." The man chuckled a little sheepishly, "Most of them I saw on TV. The local TV station in Shanghai filmed a documentary called 'Visiting Fast Food Restaurants,' and Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was one of the restaurants they visited. They even got an 'excellent' rating!"

"Hey bro, do you know the procedure for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant supplying company meals?" One of the men sitting behind them suddenly turned around and leaned in to ask, "Our company is planning to reselect a hotel to supply our employee meals."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice interrupted their conversation. Peng Kaiqun looked up and saw that everyone sitting at the surrounding tables had turned to look at the two. It turned out he wasn't the only one interested in Xu's Fast Food Restaurant; everyone was eavesdropping!

"I'm not quite sure about that." The person in the conversation paused for a moment and suggested, "Didn't they give you a flyer and business card when you gave me the change? You can contact the boss directly and ask."

Flyers and business cards?

Peng Kaiqun reached into his pocket with his right hand and pulled out several pieces of paper: two one-yuan bills, a palm-sized business card, and an A-sized flyer. The flyer prominently displayed the message: "For employee meals and group meal orders, please contact 138..."

Staff meals.

Peng Kaiqun's company provides lunch, but they don't have their own canteen. They partner with external hotels and fast food restaurants to supply lunches. Recently, the restaurant supplying the company seems to be called 'Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant'? Peng Kaiqun looked down at the food on the table, comparing it to the lunches he remembered from Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant.

Hmm. Compared to Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant is completely outclassed!

His gaze fell on the flyer again, and seeing the menu for the next few days, Peng Kaiqun suddenly felt an impulse. If Xu's Fast Food Restaurant's food offerings remained consistent these days, why not push the restaurant to the administrative department and see if they could get Xu's Fast Food Restaurant to supply employee meals? If it didn't work out, he wouldn't lose anything; if it did, he could live a life of feasting every day!

A group of people slowly gathered at the next table. They were also discussing the matter of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant providing meals for its employees, and they all seemed to be quite interested in it.

Xu's Fast Food Restaurant stall, Xu An.

As more and more people came to buy the boxed meals, Xu An couldn't handle it all by himself. He found a moment to call Wang Datou and asked him to come and help. Less than two minutes after hanging up, Wang Datou arrived across mountains and rivers to Xu An's side, joining him in the effort. Finally, after nearly two hours, they sold out all the boxed meals, and the two were finally able to sit down and rest for a while.
