Chapter 3 Spicy Hot Pot, So Delicious
The boss thought, it is really stupid to run a supermarket without buying goods from suppliers and go to the wholesale market to buy goods.
This is a godsend for him.
"Your store is not big. I need tens of thousands of bags of grain. Can you get them?" Qiao Lan pretended to be skeptical.
"Yes, absolutely. We don't have enough in the store, but I'll get you some right away."
"Then hurry up and deliver it to me before three o'clock in the afternoon."
Qiao Lan wrote down an address.
A large factory warehouse with cold storage, which I just rented through an acquaintance over the phone.
And write the order list.
In addition to the famous rice mentioned above, we also ordered 2,000 bags of white flour from brands such as Wudeli, Zhongyu, Hetao, and Guchuan.
Why specify brands? These brands of rice and noodles are delicious.
Since you have decided to eat delicious food, don’t be satisfied with just filling your stomach, improve the quality of your diet.
10,000 barrels of various brands of premium cooking oil.
500 kilograms of various brands of fine grains.
In order to stimulate the other party to deliver the goods earlier, Qiao Lan paid 30% of the payment on the spot.
The total amount was about 5 million yuan. Qiao Lan transferred 1.5 million yuan, plus 200,000 yuan in cash as a deposit. The boss was very happy and kept praising Qiao Lan for his generosity.
"Hurry up and sell the goods. I won't keep an eye on you anymore. I'm busy buying pork, beef and mutton."
It can’t just be rice, flour, grain, and oil. She also wants to eat meat, all kinds of meat!
She plans to stock up at least 1,000 kilograms of each type of meat, including pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, fish, and seafood. For pork, which is consumed in large quantities on a daily basis, 1,000 kilograms is not enough, so she needs ten or a hundred tons.
You must never mistreat yourself in the last days.
no way!
"etc……"
"Mr. Qiao, please stay!"
"You want to buy meat, right? My brother-in-law runs a meat cold storage. I'll contact him for you right away."
The grain store owner's eyes lit up even brighter and he volunteered.
When Qiao Lan saw it, hey, that’s all that’s needed.
"It can't just be frozen meat, I need a lot of fresh meat."
"No problem, I'll arrange everything for you!"
"Fruits and vegetables must be especially fresh."
"I have acquaintances at the vegetable wholesale market!"
"Then I also want other kinds of supplementary food, lots and lots of them. If you can contact them and guarantee to deliver the goods on time and in the right quantity this afternoon, I'll give you a commission of 0.1 percent."
"Of course!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. This young boss took on the entire task of stockpiling.
Qiao Lan then made another full page of lists.
In addition to meat, all food and beverages that can be seen in the supermarket are purchased in large quantities.
Having an agent who is familiar with the wholesale business is better than her running around to get the goods herself, and it can also save her time to buy other supplies.
I just came out of the grocery store and before I could go anywhere else, gulp!
Rumbling in the stomach.
She is hungry again!
In fact, her stomach was not empty after filling it up at the convenience store, but her nerves had been tortured for a long time, and as soon as she was in an environment where she could get food, her hunger reflex went crazy.
A burning sensation attacks the stomach and intestines.
Qiao Lan covered her stomach in pain.
I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
This is the aftermath of starvation in the end times.
She climbed into the van almost tremblingly, and started the car with a pale face.
"Uncle Guo, give me a deluxe set meal for four, quick!"
Qiao Lan drove over to the food court outside the C University, sweating profusely, and immediately went into a spicy hot pot restaurant that he often ate at before the apocalypse.
The owner, Lao Guo, smiled and handed over a bowl of homemade papaya soup. No other customer had it, but Qiao Lan had it.
"A meal for four? Are you having dinner with Xiao Li, Xiao Tang, and the others?"
The spicy hot pot set meal for four was quickly served.
It is served in an extra-large open-mouthed blue and white porcelain bowl, with a bright red bell pepper and green coriander stems on top.
The bright colors make people drool.
Using a wooden spatula, you can flip the food down. You will find all kinds of dishes and meats are fragrant and tasty, covered with a layer of tempting oil.
There are black fungus, enoki mushrooms, bean curd skin, oil bean curd skin, bean curd skin, wide noodles, potato chips, lotus root slices, kelp knots, and oyster mushrooms.
These are all Qiao Lan’s favorite foods. She would order them every time she ate hotpot before the end of the world.
There are also green vegetables such as bamboo shoots, lettuce, lettuce leaves, and cauliflower.
Fish balls, shrimp balls, beef balls, fish tofu and other meatballs.
As well as meat dishes such as chicken wings, chicken feet, prawns, luncheon meat slices, duck blood, pork belly slices, etc.
The four accompanying bowls of white rice were pressed firmly and sprinkled with sesame seeds, making them fragrant, glutinous and translucent.
Qiao Lan asked Lao Guo for a large bowl, poured all four bowls of rice together, picked up chopsticks and started eating.
fragrant!
So fragrant!
It was the long-lost taste of delicious food, which she hadn’t tasted for four years. This was her first proper meal in more than four years!
Qiao Lan believed that his experience in the end times had made him as hard as iron, but at this moment, he was deeply moved by a bowl of fragrant hot pot.
I almost shed tears in the ocean.
After the collapse of society, there are ruins everywhere, so where are the restaurants?
Qiao Lan still remembers that when the apocalypse first came, she had to eat raw rice for more than a month to fill her stomach. The rice had been soaked by heavy rain and had become moldy, almost killing her.
Even rice was hard to find. Survivors fought each other for food and clean water, resulting in fatalities. Women sold their bodies, and men robbed or were robbed. In time, cannibalism became commonplace.
The situation improved slightly when human settlements began to appear sporadically. However, the situation was only more orderly, and supplies were still scarce.
If an evolver leaves the base, hunts mutant beasts for a day, and returns with wounds all over his body to retrieve the crystal core, the base contribution points he obtains may only be able to be exchanged for a bag of expired dried tofu. It is so cruel.
Want to eat a pot of spicy hot pot until your mouth is full of oil?
Can only rely on dreaming!
Lao Guo came out of the kitchen again to serve other customers. He looked up and found that Qiao Lan had finished the entire deluxe set meal for four people by herself. In just five minutes, only a pile of chili peppers and peppercorns were left at the bottom of the bowl.
"Aren't you having dinner with Xiao Li, Xiao Tang and the others?"
Eating by himself? His appetite is astonishing!
Old Guo looked at Qiao Lan's chubby figure, his expression as deep as Kogoro Mouri's, and he felt that he instantly understood the truth.
When will there be fat meat? I ask the heavens over a glass of wine. The heavens say that if you eat like this, you will only gain weight and waste money.
But what happened next shocked him even more.
"Uncle Guo, I want two hundred of these deluxe four-person meals! Don't receive any guests today. Hurry up and have all the waiters prepare them for me. Keep them busy and I'll pick them up tonight!"
Qiao Lan took out four stacks of money from his schoolbag on the spot.
A meal for four is 150 yuan per portion, and 200 yuan per portion is 30,000 yuan.
An additional 10,000 yuan in hard work fees will also be provided.
"Xiao Qiao, what are you doing?!"
"It's a school club dinner, there are a lot of people, and they want a lot of food."
“…Okay, okay!”
Qiao Lan has made up her mind that she not only wants to eat hotpot now, but also in the future.
Her space has unlimited preservation function.
If you put a bowl of fragrant pot in it now, it will not go bad even after a few years. It can still be steaming hot when served, and the taste is the same as it is now.
If the city hadn't been closed at midnight, Lao Guo's store would have had limited production in the afternoon, far more than 200 servings. She only wanted to order 100,000 or 80,000 servings so she could eat them for many years in the apocalypse.
Not only the hot pot, she left Lao Guo's shop and visited all her favorite shops in the food street, placing orders from each of them.
Three hundred servings from this restaurant, five hundred servings from that restaurant. They paid the full amount in cash upfront, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan to order nearly ten thousand servings of delicious food from all over the world.
But it was still too slow for her to order food on her own.
Time waits for no one.
Qiao Lan called Xiao Tang and Xiao Li, whom Lao Guo mentioned, and transferred money to them, giving them one million each and asking them to go shopping in other food streets in the city.
She opened two stores outside the campus of C University, and these two people were hired to look after the stores. They are obedient and useful.
Just hung up the phone.
call!
A strong wind suddenly arose.
He directly overturned an unopened teppanyaki food truck on the street.
