Chapter 91
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the festival, most families prepare delicious food at home. There will probably be fewer people going out to drink porridge, but the number of people ordering cooked dishes to go home and adding more food will increase dramatically.
So Su Miao discussed with his father that they would stop selling porridge for one day on the Mid-Autumn Festival, increase the supply of fried pork offal and braised food, and accept advance reservations.
Soon after the sign was hung up, many people came to order cooked dishes, and Su Miao was recording the orders at the cash register.
Suddenly, a huge figure blocked out the light in front of her eyes, and a deliberately low male voice said, "Young Boss, there's a big deal. Will you take it?"
Su Miao looked up at the wall in front of him, wearing shiny leather shoes, suit pants, and a white shirt tucked into a leather belt.
He had a black briefcase tucked under his arm, a pair of sunglasses covering his eyes, and every strand of his hair had been carefully groomed with mousse, combed into a shiny slicked-back style. If you got close, you could even smell the scent of the mousse.
"Brother Xiaopang!" Su Miao shouted in surprise.
Seeing an acquaintance coming, Su Yuanzheng also came over to say hello and took over Su Miao's order-taking work so that they could have a good chat.
Su Miao took the fat boy to an empty table and sat him down. "I thought you were too far away and wouldn't come!"
"Hehehe, after you called me, I actually wanted to come, but suddenly my uncle assigned me a task and went on a business trip to Shenzhen for two months. I just came back a few days ago and explained everything clearly, so I came to see you without stopping. That's quite considerate, right?"
"Thank you for coming to see me, Brother Xiaopang. Are you going to Shenzhen to do some big business?"
"Of course I am. I've been all over Shenzhen and Guangzhou and have already booked several suppliers! Oh, and let me show you something really good. You've definitely never seen it before!"
The fat boy mysteriously slapped his waist, and there was a small leather box buckled on his belt. He took out a small cube from it, which was connected with a chain.
Su Miao recognized it immediately, but still pretended to be curious and asked, "What is this?"
"This is called a pager! Let me show you."
Su Miao took it and pressed the button next to it. The date and time appeared on the small display: "There is a date and time here. Is it the same function as a watch?"
"Hahaha! Of course not. This is amazing! It's like a portable radio that you can use to receive messages anywhere. Your fat brother is a manager now, and a lot of people come to me every day, so my uncle spent a lot of money to buy me one."
"Then how can I find you? Brother Xiaopang, please teach me."
The fat boy took out a piece of paper and said, "I've prepared everything. Look, this is the number of the paging station, and this is my pager number. Call the paging station first and tell them my number and your message. Then the paging station will send the message to my pager. As soon as I see it, I'll find a phone number and call you back!"
"That's really convenient. Otherwise, people wouldn't be able to find it if they went outside."
Su Miao returned the pager to Little Fatty and watched him carefully put it back into the small leather box.
"Actually, I have another purpose for coming here this time, which is to place an order with your family."
"Order?"
The fat guy nodded and continued, "My uncle's company is quite successful now. It has nearly 40 employees. The company has a cafeteria, and the two cooking ladies are the wives of the two senior chefs in the company.
The food you cook is not bad, but it is definitely not delicious. I just want to order braised food from you."
Su Miao thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want to order? I need to assess my dad and his team's shipment volume."
"Every day, we'll give you 10 kilograms of pork offal and 10 kilograms of braised food. You can mix and match whatever you want. We don't serve it on Sundays and holidays. You don't need to cut the food for us. Just find two small pots with lids and bring them to the company cafeteria. Let the cooking lady do it."
This would save some trouble, but there is another question: "Where is your company? I have a lot of guests at lunch, and if it's too far away, I might not be able to deliver it."
"It's not far, right in the city center. You can ask your cousin to ride a tricycle in 15 minutes. It's across from the department store. There's a big sign on the first floor saying 'Awang Wholesale.'"
After saying that, the fat guy took out two order contracts from his briefcase. The order details were written clearly on them, and they looked very professional.
Su Miao carefully examined it and found no problem. He said, "Order according to the store price? Don't you want to ask me for a wholesale discount?"
The fat guy waved his hands proudly, "No need, these are just small amounts of money. As long as I can eat well and have enough, I'm fine. I was so hungry after running around in Shenzhen. It's really a food desert. When I quoted this price to you, my uncle kept saying it was a steal."
After all the details were discussed and everyone signed a copy of the order contract, Su Miao invited Little Fatty to have lunch in the store.
The little fat guy didn't hesitate to eat. He gulped down two large bowls of porridge and ate two plates of pork offal and braised food before he stopped eating with his round belly.
He chatted with Su Miao for a long time about the circumstances of this business trip, and only said goodbye and left after his stomach was a little relieved.
Su Miao walked him out, and he kept looking back and reminding him, "Remember! I'll start sending you off from tomorrow!"
"Okay, I got it. I'll ask Dad to ask the pork stall to leave more offal."
Despite his large size, the chubby boy is quite agile when riding a bicycle. He pushes off with his left foot and sweeps his right leg to the back of the bike and sits on it.
After watching him kick out more than ten meters, Su Miao was about to go home when he saw the fat boy turning around and coming back.
"Little Fatty, is there anything else?"
"Oops! I was so busy chatting that I forgot about this!"
He stopped the car and took out a small box from his briefcase and handed it to Su Miao: "Here, I bought this in Guangzhou. One for my niece and one for you."
Su Miao opened the box and found a very exquisite butterfly hairpin inside. The interesting thing was that this hairpin was very smart. The wings made of small colorful beads would dance with the vibration, looking lifelike.
This type of hairpin will become popular all over the country within a period of time as trade circulates, but it is now very rare in Nanning.
"Thank you, little fat brother. This hairpin is so beautiful. I like it very much."
"Hehe! I knew you little girls would like it. Fatty, I have good taste, right? Okay! Let's go!"
After seeing Fat Brother off, Su Miao told his father and cousin about the order. They were very happy. This kind of wholesale order was both convenient and stable, which was their favorite.
Su Yuanzheng said, "Miao Miao, we have the store pre-process our ingredients, and we come back to do the secondary cleaning. The workload is actually not that big, and we can handle a few more orders like this!"
"Hahaha! Dad, you're speaking more and more confidently now! Don't worry, our family's reputation is slowly spreading. Once we've established ourselves, there will be a steady stream of orders."
