Chapter 134 The Lingering Ghost



Xu's Fast Food Restaurant was as busy as ever. As usual, Xu An turned on his computer at eight o'clock and exported and printed out the backend order data.

Today's total takeout orders were 1,963, apple cider vinegar 657 bottles, and braised food 94 jin (42 catties).

It seems the Shanghai Fast Food Association's activities didn't have a significant impact on me; I only lost about one-fifth of my orders.

After comforting himself, Xu An sent a message to the delivery rider group of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.

We need 12 riders today. If you'd like to sign up, type "1".

Before Xu An's finger had even left the send button, a series of '1's had already appeared on the screen.

I scrolled up two whole pages before finally finding the message I had just sent, counting down from the first one.

The first one was Zhu Yinghui, and the last one was surprisingly Lao Han. His roommate didn't even get a shot, which is a bit outrageous.

'@Zhu Yinghui, @, the above twelve people, please arrive on time.'

Those who weren't tagged by Xu An all sent a crying or frantic emoji, which perfectly reflected their current mood.

Zhu Yinghui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was the first person tagged, changed his clothes, and went out to buy breakfast.

Yesterday, he delivered orders until 8 pm, making a total of 53 deliveries and 83 boxed meals. Including his base salary, he earned a total of 61.5 yuan.

This lasts from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.! Although there's a two-hour break at noon, it's just a short time to catch your breath.

That's equivalent to spending a whole day to earn 61.5 yuan. With the same pay, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant can earn that much in just two hours!

Moreover, Xu's Fast Food Restaurant includes lunch! All you can do here is drink water!

Shanghai Fast Food Association.

Two staff members responsible for allocating orders and contacting riders are contacting the riders who delivered food yesterday.

However, after contacting more than ten people, no definite answer was received.

What happened? Everything was fine yesterday. I could earn about 40 or 50 yuan a month. That's not a low salary!

This situation continued until 8:05, when the riders who had been vague earlier called back to confirm that they would be coming to deliver food today.

The two staff members breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the person had arrived.

When registering rider information, the two discovered that none of the riders who earned the most yesterday had come today.

Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.

At 10:30 a.m., when Zhu Yinghui arrived at Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, he saw several familiar faces he had seen at the Shanghai Fast Food Association the day before. The group exchanged smiles, and everything was understood without words.

After lunch, Xu An began assigning tasks to everyone in the shop.

Xu Lili was in charge of the Haishi Library, which was closest to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant; Liang Dani was in charge of the Red Brick Creative Park; Xu Heping was in charge of the Xiuli Garden; Xu Lili went to the Ivy League School; Uncle Guosheng was in charge of the boxed lunch delivery for the Yinxing Building; and Zhang Dezhen was in charge of the shopping mall in the center of several residential areas.

The shop was left to Liu Daxi's team and Aunt He and her sisters. To cope with the potential surge in customers, all six of Aunt He's sisters stayed to help, so the manpower was barely sufficient.

After assigning tasks, Xu Heping, Zhang Dezhen, and Xu An set off on an electric tricycle, carrying one hundred boxed meals.

The rest of the staff went to their respective work stations to wait for Uncle Guosheng to deliver the boxed meals so that they could begin the delivery process.

As the saying goes, enemies often meet on narrow roads; they are not true enemies.

Xu Angang arrived at the Ivy League school and saw the huge sign of "Yipinxiang Fast Food Restaurant" and Ren Peng standing at the entrance.

However, there were too many roadside stalls, so Ren Peng didn't notice Xu An, nor did he expect Xu An to set up a stall here. He stood at the door for a while and watched the large group of workers walking out of the construction site before turning back into the shop.

The news that was released yesterday morning should have spread widely by the afternoon; at least a long line of stalls had already been set up at the entrance of the Ivy League construction site.

From fried noodles and rice noodles to fried skewers and barbecue, and various snacks and desserts, there were twenty or thirty stalls in total. Xu An also saw a boxed lunch stall not far from him, but there were too many people, so Xu An only glanced at it and looked away.

Xu An arrived late today, and the area near the entrance was already packed with people. He had no choice but to find a reasonably good spot and quickly set up his stall.

Xu An has now upgraded his business significantly. His signboard is no longer a whiteboard supported by bamboo poles, but a blackboard flashing with colorful lights, which is extremely eye-catching.

As soon as the blackboard was raised, many workers saw the words "Xu's Fast Food, 8 yuan for three dishes and one soup" on it and came over.

"Boss, what dishes do you have? Is it really eight yuan a serving?"

"Yes, there are two different boxed meals. This one is the salt-baked chicken leg set meal, and this one is the braised pork with preserved mustard greens set meal."

Xu An took out two boxed meals from the styrofoam box and opened them to show them off. One boxed meal contained a tender, savory salt-baked chicken leg; the other boxed meal contained braised pork with preserved mustard greens. The braised pork with preserved mustard greens was layered, with the inner layer being tender and the outer layer being crispy. The braised pork was also gently swaying with Xu An's movements.

"Xu's Fast Food Restaurant has three stores in Shanghai, with daily sales of up to 3,000 meals, most of which are made by office workers in office buildings."

They have a physical store! Even those people sitting in air-conditioned office buildings eat the boxed lunches from this store!

The workers exchanged glances and then each took out ten yuan and handed it to Xu An.

As several workers left, more workers emerged from the construction site and headed towards the roadside stalls at the entrance and the various fast food restaurants across the street.
