Chapter 524
Fang Zheng stepped on the brakes and the half-worn tricycle made a squeaking sound.
Su Miao leaned forward, his eyes following Fang Zheng's gaze towards the crowd hurrying over.
They ran to the front of the car panting. The leading worker had an anxious look on his face, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, wetting his dusty collar.
"Xiao Fang! One of our coworkers fainted while working. All the trucks on the construction site have been sent out to transport materials. Could you please help get him to the hospital up ahead?
We were running too slowly, and we were afraid that we would delay treatment, and the patient would be too weak to feel anything!"
"this……"
Fang Zheng was about to agree immediately, but suddenly thought of Su Miao in the back seat and looked at her hesitantly.
Su Miao reacted quickly, swiftly jumping out of the car with the bag of cooked vegetables in hand, and said to him, "Brother Zheng, saving people is the most important thing, please send them there quickly."
"Okay! It only takes about ten minutes to ride to the hospital over there. You wait for me at the store over here. Don't wander around. I'll be right back as soon as I drop you off!"
Fang Zheng worriedly told Su Miao, and after he finished speaking, everyone had already hurriedly put the unconscious worker into the truck bed.
The situation was urgent and Fang Zheng didn't have time to say anything more. He pedaled hard, the wheels spun rapidly, and he sped towards the hospital.
Several worker representatives also took big strides and followed closely behind the car.
Although the sun at this time is not as bright as at noon, it is still quite hot. Su Miao walked to the small shop on the side of the road that Fang Zheng had just mentioned.
She bought a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda and told the boss that she wanted to drink it here.
The boss popped the bottle cap open and handed it to Su Miao, saying, "These stools under the tree are all mine. Feel free to sit anywhere you like."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
Su Miao walked to the shade of a tree and placed the heavy bag of cooked vegetables on the mottled small table. Only then did he relax and look at the soda in his hand.
In the bright orange liquid, a few flocs are faintly visible under the light and shadow. There are not many, but they can be seen.
She heard that because Arctic Ocean's sodas are all juice-based, using real orange peels to squeeze juice, there will be some orange velvet sediment.
The oil is extracted from the peel, so there will be oil floating on the surface. This honest process without additives creates the brand's natural and mellow taste.
Su Miao did not drink it immediately, but shook the soda bottle again and again.
Because she doesn't like drinking soda that is too carbonated, her nose will feel sore after a few sips of freshly opened soda, so she will open the bottle for a while and wait for some of the carbon dioxide to dissipate before drinking it.
Just when her mind was blank and she was staring at the big white bear on the bottle in a daze.
Several workers who came to the store to buy cigarettes had already circled around her several times.
They first bought cigarettes, and then paced around Su Miao, casting curious glances at her bag from time to time.
After a while, seeing that she was still staring at the bottle, the burly workers with tanned cheeks could not help but say:
"Nier? Are there any meat and vegetables in this bag? They smell delicious!"
Su Miao snapped back to his senses, looked at the few people, and subconsciously replied, "Yes, this is the cooked food we sell at home, it's a specialty of Yongcheng."
Another worker came over and asked, "Yongcheng, we haven't eaten it yet! Did someone buy it from you?"
"Not yet."
The worker who spoke first urged with a smile: "Why are you standing there like that? We've been walking around here for so many times, and you didn't even say hello.
Why not open it and see what kind of dish it is and whether it’s suitable for us to eat! ”
Su Miao felt that he might have fainted from the heat, and only then did he react and took out two boxes of vegetables and opened them.
In an instant, the rich aroma of the braised food and the unique sour aroma of the lemon duck filled the air, and the workers took a deep breath unconsciously.
Su Miao introduced to several people:
"Hey guys, here are two dishes, this one is braised food, and this one is boiled lemon duck. The lemon duck is sour and fragrant, and it doesn't need to be heated. It tastes best when eaten cold.
It comes with a sauce that you can mix in before eating or use as a dip.”
Several people smelled the fragrance and saw the real thing. They were instantly moved and one of them asked:
"This dish is quite expensive, isn't it? How much is it? How much does it cost in this box?"
Su Miao explained, "The braised food is five yuan per pound, and the lemon duck is four and a half yuan per pound, including the meat and the sauce.
You can see that the side dishes and sauces are all in fixed amounts and they are not deliberately added in excess.
This box is a large portion, weighing two kilograms, but in our family, the minimum order for cooked dishes is half a kilogram.
If you order more than 10 kilograms, you can get free delivery within 5 kilometers."
The first worker who approached Su Miao said, "It looks delicious to me. How about we buy a portion of braised food together?"
After work in the afternoon, I buy a few big steamed buns and some vegetables. They will fill me up and go well with some wine."
"I think it's a good idea! I just got paid yesterday, so I have to treat myself to something nice!"
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, the leader counted and found there were five people in total. He said, "Two kilograms of braised food, two yuan per person."
The workers took out crumpled money from their pockets and handed it to him. After counting it, he handed the money to Su Miao.
Su Miao happily took out a box of braised food and handed it to them, then took the opportunity to promote it:
"In our house, in addition to being able to buy cooked dishes by weight, we also have set meal boxed meals available for purchase.
A set meal includes rice, meat, vegetables and side dishes. It is very popular in the restaurant and I think it is also suitable for your daily lunch and dinner orders.
If you order more than ten, delivery is free within five kilometers, and you can also arrange a delivery time. "
The set lunch box Su Miao mentioned really piqued the workers' interest. The worker holding the braised food in his hand asked:
"Is a set meal cheaper than buying by weight? How much is one serving? We do manual labor and have big appetites. Will we be able to eat enough?"
"The price of the set meal varies depending on the meat you choose, but it's generally between one dollar and five cents and one dollar and eight cents."
Su Miao answered while taking out a small notebook and pen from her messenger bag.
“You can choose from stir-fried pork offal, braised food, boiled lemon duck and stir-fried lemon duck.
We always have generous portions at home, using normal-sized disposable lunch boxes, one for rice and one for vegetables.”
As she spoke, she wrote the store address on a blank page of her notebook and handed it to the workers.
"This is my shop. If you like the braised food here today, you're welcome to come back and try our other dishes."
Construction workers work hard, but their income is still quite considerable. If they pay the price of the set meal that Su Miao mentioned, they can afford to have a luxurious meal every other day.
The leading worker took the note, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Okay! Let's try your braised food today. If it's delicious, we will definitely come back to patronize you."
After seeing off a few workers, Su Miao sat down again, picked up the Arctic Ocean soda that had been opened for a while and took a sip. Hmm, just right!
