Chapter 344 Gold Digger 17
Moreover, those people certainly wouldn't focus their attention on Yu Ruidong; after all, how easy would it be to bully a weak woman like her?
Sure enough, Yu Ruidong pushed his food cart out to sell boxed lunches on the weekend.
Not only are there pre-made boxed meals, but they can also cook stir-fries on the spot. Of course, Yu Ruidong cooks them all, with Chef Qian directing from the side. They can only cook two dishes at a time, which is also to train his speed and skill.
The place where the two set up their stall was outside a construction site not far away, but of course not the construction site where Yu Ruidong used to work as a bricklayer, as that was too far away.
Beijing is currently experiencing a period of rapid development in the real estate industry, and construction sites can be seen every short distance apart.
As soon as lunchtime arrived, all the workers rushed out. There are usually some food stalls outside the construction site, and they would grab a bite to drink if they wanted. But today, a new food cart appeared outside. "How much are the boxed lunches, sir?"
Yu Ruidong was a little nervous, after all, it was his first time selling food, but he still answered very quickly: "One rice dish, two dishes, three yuan, one meat dish and one vegetable dish, one stir-fried potato shreds and one stir-fried zucchini with meat."
Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish cost five yuan, plus a braised pork belly.
They can also cook it fresh, each dish costs six yuan, including stir-fried pork intestines and sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce.
"Give me a three-yuan boxed lunch."
"Give me one with two meat dishes and one vegetable dish."
Seeing that his apprentice was handling things well, Master Qian sat down in the chair that his apprentice had specially brought for him and watched with a smile.
Two people who bought the meals first opened the boxes and tried them. The rice was good quality, and the dishes tasted good too. For three yuan, the meal was quite good.
"It tastes good, and there's a good amount of meat in the stir-fried cucumber slices with pork. It's worth three yuan."
The other person bought two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. The first one they tried was braised pork. The braised pork was cooked until it was red and shiny, and it looked very appetizing. Moreover, the portion was not small, about one spoonful with a porridge spoon.
"It really tastes good, and the rice is new rice, much better than what that Xiao Chen sells. I suspect that kid uses old rice; I can't even smell the rice at all."
People looked at the food in their lunchboxes—white, green, yellow, and red—the colors were distinct, making the ingredients look very clean. So, more people came to buy.
Occasionally, people passing by on their way home from get off work would see a crowd gathered here and come over to take a look. After a while, they actually sold three servings of the stir-fried pork intestines.
Master Qian nodded secretly. He had taught Yu Ruidong how to make this dish yesterday. Yu Ruidong had practiced it a few times at home, but he was afraid of wasting ingredients, so he decided to sell it today. It was well done, and he was getting better and better at controlling the heat. He had made a good apprentice, especially since Yu Ruidong had brought it to him!
Ning Yan didn't set up a stall in front of the mall today because her old customer introduced her to a good business opportunity.
Feng shui consultation.
The wealthier people are, the more they care about feng shui. When Ms. Zhan's friend's company was relocating, she recommended Ning Yan to them and made it clear in advance that the price was negotiable.
In other words, the better Ning Yan does, the more she gets.
Ning Yan is now greedy for money and will do anything for a fee. During her half-day business trip, she not only inspected more than 20 floors of the building, but also rearranged the CEO's office, including the potted plants and fish tank. The CEO was very satisfied, and Ning Yan received a large sum of money on the spot.
It was just noon when she ran to where Yu Ruidong had set up his stall.
"Give me a plate of stir-fried pork intestines, a plate of sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, and a box of white rice."
Yu Ruidong looked up sharply upon hearing the familiar voice, "Are you done with your work?"
Ning Yan nodded with a smile, "Looks like business is good today!"
"It's alright, wait here, I'll cook you some food right away."
Ning Yan walked behind the food cart and greeted Master Qian, "Master, you've worked hard."
Originally, he only needed to teach his apprentices to cook at home, but now he has to come out and set up a stall in this freezing weather. It must be really hard work for him.
“It’s pretty boring to stay at home all day, so I made a point of going out with him.” Once he’s a better cook, and it’s getting cold, he’ll stay home for the winter.
The recipes in his head are enough for this kid to study for years.
Soon, all the dishes Ning Yan ordered were cooked. Yu Ruidong put the dishes into two lunch boxes, and Ning Yan took a bowl of rice and started eating while standing by the food cart, nodding as she ate, saying, "Delicious!"
Having a good mentor makes all the difference!
Are you going out again this afternoon?
Yu Ruidong already knew that his girlfriend was making money by telling fortunes, something he had never imagined. However, since even his master was chosen by Ning Yan through fortune-telling, he did believe that his girlfriend had some skills.
"Come on, you have no idea how easy it is to make money from fortune telling. I just set up a stall at the XX shopping mall, and the money just flows in."
Yu Ruidong glanced subconsciously at the milky white leather bag Ning Yan was carrying; it was flat, so it must have been deposited in the bank.
"Closing up early is better, it gets cold later, don't get cold."
Ning Yan pointed to her coat, "I'm wearing so many layers, I won't get cold."
She's not stupid; she's dressed warmly.
"Yes, my girlfriend is very smart. She knows to wear warm clothes when it's cold, run home when it rains, and find food when she's hungry."
Two young girls who had just come to buy lunchboxes nearby burst out laughing. Are the standards for girlfriends this low nowadays?
Yu Ruidong didn't understand what was so funny. He handed two boxed lunches to the two girls and gestured for them to leave quickly.
Master Qian actually wanted to laugh, but he was too embarrassed to laugh out loud.
Ning Yan: ...secretly reached out and pinched the man's waist.
"Hiss~", Yu Ruidong gasped in pain.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. We have customers, I need to start serving food."
Ning Yan grinned at him, showing her little teeth, and glared at him.
Yu Ruidong found his girlfriend incredibly cute, and a smile remained on his face throughout.
After finishing her meal, Ning Yan gave the money to Yu Ruidong.
"No, what do you pay for your meal?"
"One thing at a time. You're doing business with me, and I'm your customer, so of course I have to pay. Luckily, the food was good, otherwise I wouldn't have paid."
Ning Yan paid and stood up. "Alright, you go ahead and sell your boxed lunches. I need to go make some money too."
Master Qian looked at Ning Yan's back and couldn't help but wonder. You can't judge a book by its cover. She's clearly a knowledgeable college student, yet she can tell fortunes and do feng shui, and she seems to be quite skilled at it (she seems to be good at conning people).
"You little rascal, work hard and learn eight or nine tenths of my skills so you can support your family in the future. Otherwise, you'll just be serving your wife foot baths every day."
He cooked his whole life, and all he did was earn enough to buy two courtyard houses and a house for each of his children.
I still have a few valuable antiques, which is more than enough for my retirement.
If this kid had 80% of his skill, earning money to support his family wouldn't be a problem.
Yu Ruidong blushed; he was now bringing his girlfriend water to wash her feet every day…
