Chapter 33 Prepare enough food
Shen Qingyue delivered a box lunch to her sister, and unexpectedly her sister brought in several orders.
"They want to buy it too. Just mix the food and give me all the money. They want six servings." Shen Xiu puffed out her chest proudly. She could also do something for the family!
Shen Qingyue couldn't help laughing and said, "That's amazing. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Shen Xiu gave the three dollars she collected to Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue said: "You keep this money!"
Shen Xiu suddenly became anxious and said, "I still have some. I haven't spent the ten dollars you gave me last time."
Shen Qingyue said: "Spend when you need to. You are taking exams now, so you need to eat more nutritious food. My elder sister and I are both tall. If you don't improve your nutrition, you will become the shortest in our family."
Shen Xiuyi was furious when she heard this: "I'm definitely not the shortest in our family!"
Shen Qingyue took the money and said, "Hurry back to class."
Only then did Shen Xiu go back.
It was a self-study class. As soon as Shen Xiu returned, he was surrounded by people nearby. They asked, "How is it, did your sister agree?"
Shen Xiu nodded.
The people nearby who had ordered lunch boxes from her breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who can afford to order meals are from relatively well-off families. They have already eaten enough at noon and are drooling over Shen Xiu's lunch box in the middle of the day.
After much persuasion, Shen Xiu finally agreed to sell some to him.
"Your second sister is pretty and loves you." said your deskmate enviously.
When Shen Xiu heard people praising her second sister, she was happier than when they were praising herself: "Of course not. My second sister is the best."
My deskmate tentatively asked, "Can I have lunch with you? I brought a big chicken drumstick today!"
Shen Xiu was speechless. Ever since she started bringing her own lunch, her deskmates' attitudes had become increasingly fawning.
What could Shen Xiu do? Of course she agreed to her request. After all, she only had such a good deskmate.
…
Shen Qingyue arrived at the gate of the steel factory.
Then a little fat man came over and said, "Hey, you're the one selling lunch boxes here, right?"
Shen Qingyue hummed.
The little fat man said, "I've heard that your food is delicious. I want to buy some and try everything."
It’s not time for the steel mill to rest yet.
Shen Qingyue opened all the dishes. She used the lunch box they had bought earlier, put some rice in it as a base, and then put each dish in the lunch box.
There are eight dishes in total. Today's specialties are not only pig intestines, egg custard, but also spicy chicken feet.
The chicken feet are cooked until they are soft and boneless. When you bite them with your teeth, the thick skin and meat seem to melt in your mouth, and it has a slightly sweet and spicy taste.
Eight dishes plus a meal. Shen Qingyue only charged him one dollar, plus a one-dollar deposit for the lunch box.
If I return it to her, the deposit will be refunded. If I don't return it to him, I'll just assume he paid for the lunch box.
The little fat boy squatted aside and ate with chopsticks with relish.
He ate seriously, almost burying his head in the rice bowl, making Chen Mei drool beside him. She was tempted by him.
A large portion of rice. Not a single crumb was left.
The little fat boy was still not satisfied after eating, and kept glancing at the spicy chicken feet.
I haven't eaten enough. The plump and thick chicken feet, after removing the skin, only the tendons are left. I can't bear to let go of even the tiny crispy bones on the bones. I sip and bite, and they are so crispy!
The fat guy said, "I'm the deputy director of the garment factory next door. You can just call me Lu Yifei. A good friend of mine told me you're an amazing cook, but I didn't believe it! Would you like to be our head chef? We're a private factory with about 60 people. I'll make two meals a day and pay you 120 yuan a month. You can bring in a kitchen helper. I'll pay you 60 yuan a month, and you can bring in three."
You can tell from Lu Yifei's figure that he also loves to eat.
I don’t have the chance to cook on weekdays, but now I’m completely impressed by Shen Qingyue’s cooking skills. None of the eight dishes are bad.
If their canteen served this dish every day, the people in the factory would definitely be clamoring for it.
Deputy Factory Director Lu Yifei gave her a high salary, higher than that of ordinary workers.
But Shen Qingyue still refused: "It's not very convenient. However, I can make some pre-packaged lunches. I'll deliver to you as many as you order per day!"
Lu Yifei felt a little disappointed that someone with such good cooking skills couldn't work in the office. But when she said this, "Can it be cheaper?"
Shen Qingyue said: "My normal meal with three dishes is fifty cents. If you come with more people, it's forty cents per portion."
Lu Yifei said: "That's still expensive, how about three cents?"
Shen Qingyue said, "You know the taste of our dishes. Things like chicken feet and pig intestines are not cheap. I earn my hard-earned money. If you want, I can make some for you. Forty cents is the lowest."
Lu Yifei said, "Let's each make a concession and settle for thirty-five cents. This is a long-term deal, not a one-time one. We'll make another decision once we have something good to eat."
Seeing him say that, Shen Qingyue had no choice but to say, "Okay then. How much do you want?"
Lu Yifei said, "I'll need 40 servings first. If I need to increase or decrease the quantity later, I'll let you know."
Forty servings cost fourteen dollars.
Shen Qingyue said: "Tomorrow. I'll prepare well."
Lu Yifei said, "Brother, give us some vegetables. Don't make it all vegetarian."
Shen Qingyue said: "Don't worry."
Before leaving, Lu Yifei packed a portion of pig intestines for one dollar, planning to enjoy it in the evening.
Shen Qingyue quickly found her elder sister and said, "Last time you said the store had disposable lunch boxes. Ask how much they cost, and we'll buy them all!"
After a while, the eldest sister came out with a pile of lunch boxes. These disposable lunch boxes were not cheap, costing only five cents each.
Others may not use it, but it is essential for them to sell boxed lunches.
Soon the bell for the end of get off work at the steel plant rang.
After selling goods in the past few days, her fame is growing.
Many people went straight to Shen Qingyue's stall after leaving the steel plant.
"Give me some pig intestines for one dollar."
"I want three servings of pig intestines for one dollar each."
"I'll take five servings. Give me more broth."
"Hey, there's a new dish today. This chicken feet looks good. Give me a separate one for one dollar."
"By the way, the radish dish you had yesterday was so delicious. I want to buy one for a dollar too."
As soon as the crowd arrived, they began to crowd around Shen Qingyue. They were all large groups. Shen Qingyue served them one by one, and soon the basin of pig intestines was empty.
The person who saw this from behind was disappointed. He also ran here as soon as he got off work, so how come he was so far behind?
"Are there any more pig intestines?" The old customers came here just for this dish, and many people in the queue at the back stretched their necks to look when they heard that they were out of stock.
Shen Qingyue took out another basin and said, "Yes, we have as many as you want today." She brought five big basins today, and with this one, there are still four big basins left!
