Chapter 189 A man cannot like another man's wife "..."
Lou Lan said that Wen Xinglin had carefully selected that shirt and bought it for fifteen yuan at the night market. It got stained the first time he washed it, and Lou Lan said that he wouldn't even throw it away for her.
An Fusheng: No wonder Stitch is wearing Angie's skin.
An Fusheng: "What made you like pink Stitch?"
Wen Xinglin: "Pink looks good."
An Fusheng: "Then why don't you like his wife?"
Wen Xinglin: "A man cannot like another man's wife."
An Fusheng: "..."
...
After Bai Guigui finished showering, An Fusheng took the two of them to a restaurant for lunch. After lunch, An Fusheng took them to school.
At the school gate, An Fusheng said, "Study hard."
Wen Xinglin: "I know, Big Brother."
An Fusheng patted Wen Xinglin on the shoulder again: "If Wang Xiaoqi is foul-mouthed, then beat him up."
Unexpectedly, Wen Xinglin blinked and said to An Fusheng in a serious tone, "Big brother, hitting people is wrong."
An Fusheng: "Heh, weren't you the parent who was called in this morning for assaulting someone?"
Wen Xinglin: "That's because Wang Xiaoqi made the first move."
An Fusheng: "Oh, so it's not like you can't hit someone if you strike first? If someone hits you first, remember to hit them back."
Wen Xinglin nodded seriously: "I understand, brother."
...
After dropping off the children, An Fusheng returned to the hotel to continue his work.
The weather has been getting colder lately. Winters in the southern part of the city are damp and cold, and it's estimated that it will be raining for a long time. In damp and cold weather, many customers will not go out to eat. Young people can order takeout, but older people can't. So Anfusheng is planning a food delivery project.
This project mainly targets office workers and people with mobility difficulties, offering lunch or dinner packages for a certain period of time. Customers pay for the meals for a certain period in one go, and the restaurant delivers the meals to their door at a fixed time and place.
This service may seem similar to food delivery, but it is actually much more complex.
First, the price must be favorable. Since it's a package deal, the choices will inevitably be limited. Moreover, this one-time payment model is also considered a group purchase, so the price must be discounted to attract customers.
In fact, when deciding on the menu, too many set menu options can easily make customers hesitate and struggle, and the restaurant's food preparation costs will also increase significantly. If there are too few set menu options, it can save costs, but it is not enough to attract customers, or even if customers are attracted, they will not stay. This is also a point that needs to be carefully considered.
The next issue is the choice of delivery method: should they build their own delivery team or partner with a specialized delivery company? From a long-term perspective, building their own delivery team seems preferable. This allows them to identify and address problems immediately during delivery, and also to understand customer needs and suggestions through ongoing contact, facilitating continuous improvement in service quality. However, currently, the project is newly launched, order volume is low, and delivery locations are scattered, which are objective realities that may persist for some time. Delivering in-house would be costly.
Finally, there's the issue of customer privacy. When delivering meals to customers regularly, the delivery personnel will inevitably have some knowledge of the customers' addresses, living conditions, or personal information. In this case, how can we protect the customers' privacy and safety?
An Fusheng spent the entire afternoon brainstorming in his office, but still couldn't finish the proposal.
Since starting his food delivery business over a year ago, An Fusheng feels that managing and operating a restaurant is much more difficult than cooking. He learns, thinks, and seeks advice every day, yet he still feels it's not enough.
"If I had worked this hard when I was in school, I would have been a top student."
An Fusheng rubbed his head and decided to go to the kitchen to relax.
To his surprise, Wen Yue and Ji Qingqing had arranged everything in the kitchen perfectly. An Fusheng wandered around for a while and realized that there seemed to be no need for him to interfere.
So he went back to the orphanage. When he got home, he saw the empty and quiet kitchen. He remembered how he used to calculate the time his younger siblings would come home from school every day and make snacks in the kitchen to wait for them to come home. An Fusheng found some ingredients in the refrigerator and made matcha green grape mochi.
After finishing, An Fusheng noticed that the sky outside was dark and it seemed to be getting windy. He told Lou Lan that he would drive to pick up his younger siblings from school.
Lou Lan readily agreed, and casually asked if An Fusheng was managing to keep up with all the restaurant trips he had been doing these past few days.
An Fusheng said that the restaurant staff are gradually getting back on track, and his occasional delegating has little impact.
Lou Lan praised An Fusheng highly for his management skills and believed that he was born to be a boss, which made An Fusheng feel both guilty and a little smug.
An Fusheng packed up the desserts he had made, picked up the bag and went to get his car. As he passed the elevated floor, he glanced casually at the backyard and saw Wen Xingrui and Wen Xinglan playing in the vegetable garden. Wen Xingrui was half-lying down in the vegetables.
"Wen Xingrui! Why are you stealing my cabbage?"
An Fusheng pulled it out of the vegetables for him, and Wen Xingrui got his mouth full of mud from digging into the cabbage.
"You've practically trampled all the cabbages in the garden bare!"
An Fusheng escorted Wen Xingrui upstairs and handed him over to Lou Lan.
Lou Lan: "Oh dear, this child, why is he back to tending the vegetable patch again after I haven't checked on him for a while?"
Lou Lan took Wen Xingrui to wash off the mud, so An Fusheng had no choice but to take Wen Xinglan with him.
Wen Xinglan was very skilled at climbing. An Fusheng carried Wen Xingrui upstairs, and he followed him upstairs. When An Fusheng went downstairs, he followed him downstairs again, chugging along. When he heard the "whoosh" sound of the tricycle unlocking, he excitedly ran towards the tricycle, then happily climbed on and sat obediently, holding the seatbelt and saying to An Fusheng with anticipation and excitement, "Brother, drive the car!"
...
When they arrived at the kindergarten gate, just after school, Wen Xingmou and her classmates lined up and sang songs as they came out. When they saw An Fusheng and Wen Xinglan, they were so happy that they shouted "Big Brother! Big Brother!" from afar.
When the teacher saw that her parents had arrived, she let her go immediately. Wen Xingmou skipped and hopped out and found Wen Xinglan there too. "Wow! Little brother, did you come to pick me up from school too?"
Wen Xinglan nodded: "Mm."
"I'm so happy, little brother, I love you!" Wen Xingmou hugged Wen Xinglan's head and kissed him wildly, then dragged Wen Xinglan around showing off, "This is my little brother."
The children who had younger brothers happily exclaimed, "I have a younger brother too!"
Those without younger brothers would pull their parents aside and ask, "Why don't I have a younger brother?"
An Shisi turned off the lights and closed the doors and windows before running out. He was pleasantly surprised to see An Fusheng and Wen Xinglan. He was even happier to find that his older brother had come to pick him up in his Lazy Sheep car.
After picking up Wen Xingmou and An Shisi, An Fusheng skillfully drove his tricycle through the crowd to the primary school across the street.
An Fusheng greeted Grandma Ao and chatted for a while. He left a box of desserts for Grandma Ao and Ao Daiya. Then, Grandma Ao stuffed several boxes of wolf tooth potatoes into his hands. Only after seeing elementary school students with schoolbags appearing on the snack street did An Fusheng go to pick up Wen Xinglin.
When An Fusheng brought his younger siblings to the third-grade pick-up point, Wen Xinglin and the others were just coming out.
When Wen Xingmou and An Shisi saw Wen Xinglin, they shouted, "Brother, we've come to pick you up!"
Wen Xinglan followed suit, sticking her bottom out and calling out, "Brother, I've come to pick you up!"
Wen Xinglin looked in the direction of the voice and immediately saw his eldest brother, who stood out from the crowd. He excitedly said to Bai Guigui, "My eldest brother has come to pick me up!"
Upon hearing his words, a classmate asked, "Wow, is he the guy who can drive the Lazy Sheep car?"
Wen Xinglin: "Mm."
"Wow!" exclaimed the student who asked the question, filled with envy.
An Shisi was still calling out, "Brother, we brought you food!"
Wen Xinglin's eyes lit up. "My brother even brought me some food."
He raised his hand high and said, "Teacher, my older brother and younger brother have come to pick me up, I can go now!"
The teacher confirmed it and then let Wen Xing leave.
Wen Xinglin ran out quickly, carrying a large schoolbag on his back.
"Brother, look, we have wolf tooth potatoes and green mochi."
An Fusheng gave Wen Xinglin his share of the wolf's fang.
Wen Xinglin: "Thank you, big brother!"
An Fusheng: "Grandma Ao gave these to you."
Wen Xinglin: "Grandma Ao is so kind."
Wen Xinglin was immediately served food, which made his classmates who came out with him extremely envious, especially Wang Xiaoqi who came from behind.
When An Fusheng noticed Wang Xiaoqi glancing at Wen Xinglin frequently, he deliberately opened the lunchbox in his hand and said to Wen Xinglin, "Want some mochi? I just made it this afternoon, and it even has green grapes and popping boba inside."
"I want to eat!" Wen Xinglin's eyes lit up.
Wen Xingmou said, "Brother, this green mochi has ice cream inside."
The mochi skin is made by mixing matcha glutinous rice balls of different shades, creating a refreshing mix of light and dark green. The filling is made with cream, and also includes chopped green grapes and popping boba. It looks beautiful and tastes fun, making it irresistibly appealing to children.
Wen Xinglin grabbed a mochi, took a bite, and exclaimed in surprise, "There really is ice cream inside!"
An Fusheng looked at Wang Xiaoqi and said, "Is it delicious?"
Wen Xinglin: "Delicious!"
"Big brother, can I share some with Guigui?" Wen Xinglin asked again.
An Fusheng: "Sure, these are all yours. You can give them to whomever you want."
Wen Xinglin, holding the lunchbox, handed Bai Guigui a mochi: "Here you go."
Bai Guigui took it, took a bite, and said, "Thank you, it's delicious."
Other classmates also gathered around, exclaiming, "Wow, Wen Xinglin, what's this? It looks delicious!"
Wen Xinglin: "It's ice cream mochi made by my older brother."
An Fusheng said, "Let's share some with the students too."
Wen Xinglin distributed one to each of the students who were watching.
The students ate and said:
Wow, it's really delicious!
"It's so delicious!"
One classmate even ran over to An Fusheng and said, "Brother Wen Xinglin, you're amazing!"
An Fusheng modestly replied, "It's nothing special."
...
Wang Xiaoqi stared at Wen Xinglin's mochi for a long time. He really wanted to eat it too, but he had just fought with Wen Xinglin that morning, and Wen Xinglin said he would never play with him again. Wang Xiaoqi regretted it a little. He wished he hadn't fought with Wen Xinglin.
...
Seeing that Wen Xinglin had finished sharing the mochi, An Fusheng said, "Let's go home."
After saying that, An Fusheng picked up Wen Xinglin's schoolbag and helped him take it off his back, only to find that Wen Xinglin's schoolbag was actually very heavy.
An Fusheng watched Wen Xinglin running quickly towards the tricycle with his younger siblings, then he weighed his heavy schoolbag and thought: He carries a full schoolbag of books to school every day, never late or absent, has a good attitude towards learning, and does his homework on time, yet his mind is completely blank. How could this be...?
