“Sell! Sell!”
Xie Yunshu jumped up, his face flushed with excitement: "Brother, there are pork, cabbage, vermicelli, braised tofu, rice and steamed buns, what do you want to eat?"
I called for a long time but no one answered. Now that I'm sitting here in a daze, some business comes to my door!
She hurriedly opened the lids of the two pots and pans: "A large bowl of cabbage, pork and vermicelli is 30 cents, and a bowl of braised tofu is 15 cents..."
There is a lot of meat in the cabbage. You can eat four or five pieces at a time. The meat is also cut into large pieces. There is a layer of oil floating on the soup. Just looking at it makes you want to cry.
The leading man handed over his enamel pot without thinking: "One cabbage and one tofu each, and two big steamed buns! Little girl, don't eat too much!"
"Just put it down!" Xie Yunshu was so happy that his movements were even more brisk. After two bites, the jar was mostly full. "Brother, do you want some steamed buns? Two for 1 cent. They are all steamed by ourselves, big and fragrant! We also have rice, 1 cent for a large one. I guarantee you'll be full if you don't shake your hands!"
The man laughed and said, "I'll buy your rice tomorrow. You brought it with you today, so you can't waste it!"
The men behind him couldn't help themselves any longer, and handed over their jugs one by one: "I'll have one too!"
"By the way, I heard from Qiang that there are still chili peppers. It's so hot in this winter!"
"I can eat three big steamed buns just with this dish!"
"Qiang is not lying, this dish is really affordable!"
Xie Yunshu served the food and collected the money, and it only took her a few minutes to finish the work. This time, she didn't mind the peppers, and whoever came up would get one, and they would definitely get an extra big steamed bun!
After finishing their work, several men carried the jars back to the construction site. Xie Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. The strong man they were talking about was the man who had just eaten the chili pepper for free, right? It seemed that the chili pepper was really worth it, which was equivalent to free publicity for her.
If I hadn't been soft for a moment, Qiang would definitely not have gone out of his way to say good things for her...
She was nervous and excited. Although she only made two dollars and fifty cents from the sales, Xie Yunshu was sweating all over. She drank two glasses of water and just took off her hat. Before she had time to take off her scarf, several men came over not far away.
There were more this time, about ten or so, and they looked like a hunting team...
"Girl, I only want pork and cabbage!"
"I want braised tofu and some chili!"
"I'm from the south and I don't like steamed buns. I want rice!"
"This steamed bun is really good. Are you from the north too, little girl?"
…
He was busy and flustered, waiting for Xie Yunshu to catch his breath. The food in the dish was almost empty. There were still a dozen steamed buns and a few boxes of rice left, which was enough for at most eight people. Even if there were some left, he could keep them for himself when he got home, so he wouldn't lose money today.
Xie Yunshu carefully put away the money one by one. She finally had time to take off her scarf. Her fine bangs were wet with sweat and stuck to her smooth and white forehead. Her big eyes were brighter than the sun because of her happiness.
She calculated the cost of today's meals and thought that she could earn five yuan if she sold all of them. She had already sold twenty-three yuan and thirty cents...
"Comrade, do you have any food left?" A slightly childish male voice sounded.
Xie Yunshu quickly stuffed the money in, smiled and said, "Yes, I'll call you what you want!"
The guy who came was about twenty years old, not much older than Xie Mingcheng, not very tall and skinny. He pinched the corner of his clothes a little embarrassedly and said, "It's my first day here to work, so I didn't bring a porcelain jar. I heard they were selling lunch boxes, so I came to ask."
He was from the countryside of Haicheng. He failed to get into university in the college entrance examination, so he came here to look for work. He heard that the money could be earned well at the construction site, so he came to try it out. After working for a whole morning, he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and dizzy. After asking around, he found out that they didn't provide meals here and he had to bring his own.
Xie Yunshu smiled and said, "It's okay. I have a disposable lunch box here! What do you want to eat? I'll serve it to you now!"
The young man had only three cents in his pocket. He took the lunch box and put it on the tricycle. Looking at the pork belly made him even hungrier. "Does this lunch box cost money? I'll clean it and bring it back to you after I use it, okay?"
A disposable lunch box costs five cents, and one cent can buy two. One is expensive, but if everyone uses it, the cost will increase invisibly.
Xie Yunshu served him half pork, cabbage and half tofu, and filled a box with rice. He handed him chopsticks and said, "These are disposable. You have to throw them away after use. Sit here and eat. I have hot water here. I'll pour some for you. Remember to bring a porcelain pot next time. These lunch boxes are very shallow and can't hold the soup. You'll suffer the loss!"
This kid looked similar to Ming Cheng. Xie Yunshu couldn't help but think of Ming Cheng who had worked odd jobs at a construction site before. He didn't know how to eat lunch at that time, and he was as hungry as a refugee when he came back at night...
Du Xianglong was indeed very hungry. He didn't bother to talk and started to eat voraciously.
"Slow down, don't be afraid of choking yourself!" Xie Yunshu reminded him, and took a clean lunch box and poured hot water into it: "I'll lose money if I sell it to you for 30 cents, just three disposable lunch boxes!"
Du Xianglong tried hard to swallow the rice in his mouth. His face turned red when he heard Xie Yunshu's words: "I, I will definitely bring a porcelain jar tomorrow."
She didn't prepare a few disposable lunch boxes in advance, just in case of emergency. These workers have big appetites, and they can also soak steamed buns and rice in vegetable soup. In fact, this kind of lunch box is not very suitable.
Xie Yunshu just said that, and she wouldn't really care about these few cents. She waved her hand and said, "꿯正, just give me more publicity."
"Will you come tomorrow?" Du Xianglong's eyes lit up. The food here was better than that at home. He could earn six dollars a day working, so he could afford it with fifty cents for a meal.
Although it hasn’t been sold out yet, Xie Yunshu’s confidence doubled: “That’s for sure!”
At worst, I can do some tomorrow...
She hadn't decided how much to make tomorrow when another dozen workers came in. They probably heard about it too and started to say, "Big sister, give us ten servings of one cabbage and one tofu with chili!"
Xie Yunshu was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Just now they said they would reduce the quantity tomorrow, but in the blink of an eye, there is not enough to sell!
Finally, the workers packed up all the food, steamed buns, rice, and chili peppers, leaving not a drop of the vegetable soup. It was better to have vegetables than to eat cold steamed buns. Before leaving, the men reminded her, "Sister, do more tomorrow, there are many workers on our construction site!"
Du Xianglong had also finished eating. The young man's eyes were brighter after eating. He smiled at Xie Yunshu in a flattering way: "Tomorrow you can stew some big potatoes and add more vermicelli and other things. The dishes can help to suppress hunger!"
Haha, people started ordering food on the first day!
