Chapter 197 Grocery Delivery Cart
As soon as Su Yuchen opened his mouth, he hit the nail on the head for everyone at the table. Lu Hongwen, who was standing beside him, nodded frantically. Ouyang Yidan immediately joined the group chat and nodded as well, and even pulled Yun Yongyuan. Yun Yongyuan immediately understood and nodded along with the others. Four pairs of eyes looked straight at Zhao Xiaojing.
Zhao Xiaojing paused, then laughed and scolded back, "Don't I cook enough for you? Except for today, which meal wasn't made by me? Which meal didn't you say was delicious? Brother Yun, you just got here today, don't join in the fun!"
After being scolded, the four of them thought it made sense and laughed. They buried their heads in the rice, one chopstick of fried pork with chili, another chopstick of stir-fried yam to relieve the spiciness, and quickly finished a bowl of rice.
Between servings, I had another bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup. The black seaweed and the slightly yellow egg yolk intertwined, creating a clear and bright broth. Scallions and sesame oil flowers floated beautifully on the surface of the soup. With just salt and pepper, the simple ingredients, after a gentle stir, held the egg together and the soup remained clear and refreshing.
"Senior Brother Yun makes really good egg soup, and the egg drops are really good!" Lu Hongwen finished a bowl and sighed with satisfaction.
I originally wanted to discuss the takeout with Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen while eating, but after a few bites of the fried pork with chili peppers, my attention was diverted and I just focused on eating. After finishing a bowl, I thought about drinking the soup first. After drinking the soup, my body and mind felt warm, and I didn't want to talk about it at this time.
Lu Hongwen relaxed completely and continued to serve rice after drinking the soup.
It wasn't until everyone finished eating and started cleaning up that Zhao Xiaojing asked about it, and Lu Hongwen remembered this.
"I was just about to tell you that I also found that I couldn't do it myself. I thought, since I can find someone to help in the girls' dormitory, I can also find someone to help in the boys' dormitory.
I'm planning to hire a few more part-timers. Firstly, delivering meals to the girls' dormitory alone is exhausting, so having a helper would allow us to take turns. Secondly, since everyone is part-time, when they have a lot of classes or are busy, they might not remember to deliver meals. They all rely on their own time, so hiring a few more people can help spread the risk of no one delivering meals.
The plan is to find one in each dormitory, but we may not be able to find one.
I'll try mobilizing a few of my roommates first. After all, we're all seniors and don't have many classes. We write papers all day long, so delivering meals is just a good way for them to move around.
I will just be delivering meals back and forth, delivering them to the dormitory building, and then they will deliver them to each dormitory building."
Zhao Xiaojing put the last few remaining vegetable leaves into the trash can. Lu Hongwen was wiping the workbench next to her, talking while working.
"That's fine too. The volume shouldn't be too large if we only deliver to schools. I'm just worried it might be too late during peak order times. If you run back and forth by yourself, it might not be possible to deliver to the students in time."
"During rush hour, if we only deliver to the dormitory building, we should be able to make it in time. I calculated today that it's an eight-minute ride. As long as we don't go in the wrong direction and deliver to the building, it should take enough time."
"That's fine. When looking for a part-time job, find one that's reliable and clean. After all, it's something you're going to eat.
"Also, paying them commissions based solely on the number of times they work might make them less motivated and unfocused, and the corresponding constraints wouldn't be strong. You could offer them a base salary to establish a formal part-time relationship. "The store will set the base salary. Talk to them about the specific model and price, understand their perspective, and then we can work it out," Zhao Xiaojing advised.
"Got it. I'll ask them later. As for the girls, I'll also ask my current part-time workers to find someone to work and study with them.
College students are generally of good quality. We'll make a disposable seal and stick it on there, which will help prevent some problems." Lu Hongwen nodded and wiped the work surface clean, rubbing the rag with detergent several times.
"Little Mosquito, are you stupid today? I've seen your hairstyle look a bit artistic every time you come in." After the two finished chatting, Su Yuchen on the side teased.
"Wow, don't even mention it. The wind on my scalp is so strong it's almost breaking apart when I ride the tricycle to sell the sweet soup! I usually only go back and forth to sell sweet soup, so I have plenty of time and ride slowly, so I don't feel it.
"It's getting colder now, and the temperature keeps dropping at night. And riding fast, I'm practically drifting in the wind!" As soon as he said this, Lv Hongwen immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by the autumn night wind. "No, I'm going to buy some knee pads and a hat tomorrow!"
Zhao Xiaojing paused, remembering that it was summer when she first switched to using the sweet soup stall cart. In order to allow ventilation, the open-air large front and sealed compartment had to have windows that also served as sunshades to reveal the shape of the glass cabinet.
Now that it's autumn, this style is not very convenient for delivering food, right? Su Yuchen also needs to use it to buy groceries every day. If it is just for buying groceries and delivering food, it is not very convenient to use.
Zhao Xiaojing silently took note of this matter and quietly summoned the system before going to bed at night.
"System, for the van I upgraded last time, do I have to get a driver's license before I can request it?"
[The system's car can only be registered under the host's name. The system will also handle the corresponding license plate, registration, annual inspection procedures, etc., so the host's driver's license is required.]
The answer given by the system was not surprising, and Zhao Xiaojing sighed silently.
It could be switched to a more convenient three-wheeled vehicle for grocery shopping and food delivery, but what happens after the van is proposed? What if the three-wheeled vehicle for food delivery disappears without a reason?
How about selling the other second-hand stall car and buying a suitable one?
Anyway, the other stall bike is not easy to ride, and the space is not as big as the system stall bike. Although it is not old, it needs to be charged after riding twice, which is a huge difference compared to the system stall bike.
However, if you buy a new food delivery cart, the result may be the same. It is neither as good as the system-made one, nor as satisfactory as the system-made cart.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Zhao Xiaojing was extremely conflicted.
[Host, after the stall car is upgraded to level 3, it will have the function of being separated. The van and subsequent upgraded vehicles can also be separated. You only need to spend the corresponding experience points to separate the van and exist independently.]
Separation function! Zhao Xiaojing slapped her head.
The system mentioned this word during the last upgrade. She was confused at the time, but then she was attracted by other functions and completely forgot about it. It turns out that it is used here!
The problem was solved immediately.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiaojing asked Su Yuchen to go to the store to make breakfast. She used the excuse of going to the vegetable market to buy fresh pickled vegetables, exchanged tricycles with Su Yuchen, and rode the tricycle to a remote place.
"System, switch to the stall vehicle form. It should be convenient for buying groceries and delivering food. It should be smaller and can protect from wind and rain. It is suitable for autumn and winter."
[This form switching will cost 500 experience points. Please choose whether to accept.]
【whether】
"yes."
As the words fell, the tricycle used for selling goods changed again from a sugar water cart.
