Chapter 526
Su Miao and Fang Zheng were startled when they heard the shouting and quickly looked back.
I saw seven or eight workers running towards them with anxious faces.
Some of these workers were wearing sweat-stained vests, while others were wearing army green work clothes stained with cement gray. Each of them bore the distinct mark of labor on the construction site.
"Girl! Wait a minute!"
The leader was a young man with a buzz cut. He was not tall, but he had muscles all over his body. It was obvious that he had been doing heavy labor for many years.
He ran to the tricycle with his coworkers, took a breath, and said:
"Did our coworker buy some braised food from you just now? You gave us a little taste, and it was so delicious! Do you have any more? Give us some too."
The other workers chimed in: "Yes, yes, many of us are envious!"
"We hurried so fast, fearing you might be gone."
Huh? How could this be possible? I can't refuse this business!
Su Miao quickly jumped out of the car again and greeted the workers with a bright smile:
"Yes, yes! We still have some! Braised food is five yuan a pound, and lemon duck is four and a half yuan a pound. However, now we only have braised food in boxes of two pounds and one pound."
The workers couldn't wait to say:
"Braised food! Braised food! What we just tried was braised food!"
"Let's just buy three pounds and share them when we get home!"
Su Miao happily took the money and handed the bag of braised food directly to them.
At this time, five or six workers came out and saw the group of people buying braised food. They laughed and scolded:
"How come you guys are so fast! Girl! Is there any more braised food?"
The group that arrived first said nothing, but just held the bag of braised food tightly, as if they were afraid of being snatched away, and quickly slipped away.
Su Miao spread his hands and said, "Sorry, all the braised food is sold out. Only the lemon duck is left."
"ah?"
Seeing the disappointed expressions on their faces, Su Miao recommended, "We have quite a few lemon ducks here. This is our family's specialty! It's perfect for summer and very appetizing. Would you like to take a look?"
Several people stared at the lemon duck box that Su Miao opened and swallowed unconsciously.
But they just tried the braised food and thought it was really good, so they came here.
They had never tasted this lemon duck before, so they were unsure...
Su Miao saw their concerns, took out disposable chopsticks from the bag and handed them to them, then opened a small bag of sauce and said generously:
"Brothers, you can try it. If it tastes good, then buy it."
Although they felt embarrassed, they tried every single one of the dishes.
As soon as the sour and fragrant sauce entered their mouths, everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they even licked the duck bones repeatedly, reluctant to throw them away.
“This cold duck is so delicious.”
"Let's buy this! It's really appetizing. I wasn't even hungry, but after eating this piece of meat, I'm actually hungry!"
Two pounds of duck meat with bones was not enough for these grown men, so they gritted their teeth and bought four pounds.
Su Miao repeated what he had just said to the worker in front of him, that his family had set lunch boxes.
After hearing this, several people nodded and said enthusiastically:
"We are not the only one working on the construction site here. Across the street is a hospital dormitory under construction, over there is the Forestry Bureau compound, and there are more further away.
There are dozens of people working on a construction site. Your food is so delicious, so come and sell it. There is always enough to sell, not too much! "
"Okay, we'll bring some boxed lunches over for sale tomorrow at noon. If you guys like the taste of our food, you're welcome to come and patronize us again!"
It was already half past four when Su Miao and Fang Zheng returned to the store. At this time, everyone in the store was preparing for dinner.
Su Yuanzheng, who was supposed to be washing his large intestine in the backyard, was now standing at the door of the store, craning his neck to look around.
Seeing Su Miao and the other two coming back, he hurried over to greet them and asked with concern:
"Why did you take so long? I was worried something might have happened."
"Something did happen. The family that was celebrating the old lady's birthday had a quarrel, so the birthday party didn't take place."
"Is that so? It's okay. We don't sell enough vegetables every day anyway. If we can't complete this order, then we can't complete it. Did you have an argument with others?"
"Dad, look at what you said. I'm such a quarrelsome person! Come in first and let me have some tea. I'll talk to you slowly..."
Su Miao went into the store, drank some mung bean soup, and then began to tell the story vividly.
From the quarrel at the birthday party and the subsequent negotiations, to Fang Zheng sending the workers to the hospital on the road, to his successful sale of several boxes of cooked dishes on the roadside.
The whole process was clear and the wording was precise, and everyone was fascinated by it, just like listening to a storytelling.
Su Yuan was listening intently, holding the teacup in the air for a long time without dropping it.
After Su Miao finished speaking, his face was full of surprise: "I didn't expect it! Miao Miao and Fang Zheng opened up new sales channels on this trip!"
Yang Hongmei also praised: "Miaomiao is a smart girl, her brain works quickly! There are many people working at the construction site. If we can provide long-term supply, our store's business will definitely reach a new level!"
Because it was almost time for dinner, everyone went about their work first, cleaned the store, put the braised food in the pot, and then gathered together to discuss.
Their original set meal was already very suitable and cost-effective, so they didn't make any adjustments.
Since we have already done a wave of publicity today, we should strike while the iron is hot and try to sell it tomorrow.
Prepare ten boxes of each type of lunch first, and the set meal of forty boxes will be used as a trial run.
According to Fang Zheng, people at the construction site usually start lunch at 12 o'clock, and they will not leave work early before that time, so they just need to arrive outside the construction site ten minutes in advance.
Because he was familiar with the place, he decided to go sell food with Su Miao tomorrow.
After the discussion, everyone threw themselves into the intense work again. With the new sales channel, everyone was more motivated.
After all, Yingzi and Mengsui said when chatting with new employees that bosses of all sizes love to give out bonuses and red envelopes.
Sometimes, there is no warning at all and money is suddenly stuffed into employees' hands.
The better the business in the store, the more money they can make, so they are so devoted to following the Su family and are happy to do so even if it means they are thousands of miles away from home.
The next day, around 11 a.m., Su Miao and Fang Zheng started packing their lunch boxes.
Originally, Fang Zheng was afraid that if he gave too much, the boss would be dissatisfied, so he hesitated and did not dare to take action.
Seeing that Su Miao was not stingy at all and filled every box, he also started working.
The two of them were quick and nimble, their movements smooth and effortless, and they finished installing everything quickly.
Fang Zheng also found two large foam boxes, put the lunch boxes in them and covered them, so that they could keep warm even in winter.
At 11:30, Fang Zheng rode a tricycle loaded with lunch boxes and took Su Miao to the construction site.
It’s only a ten-minute walk. When I arrived at the entrance of the construction site yesterday, there were still ten minutes before work ended.
But there was already someone waiting there.
