Workers will leave when the construction site is completed; students will abandon themselves for winter and summer vacations; only office workers! They are your forever good partners!
From Monday to Sunday, someone is working every single day, without exception! Never stopping! It's truly fantastic!
The students of Shanghai Maritime College are going on holiday, which poses a significant challenge to Xu An's fledgling lunchbox stall.
However, this crisis is not without a solution, and Xu An placed his hopes for resolving it on office workers.
Having their own shop gives them a basic sense of trust.
The second step is to increase the brand awareness of Xu's Fast Food among office workers. The cheapest, simplest and most effective way is naturally to distribute flyers!
Realizing that dry text on restaurant flyers wouldn't be very appealing, Xu An decided to hire a photography or advertising company for professional photography and design.
But after contacting several advertising companies, I was stunned to find that the design price for a single flyer ranged from 500 to 2000 yuan.
The price wasn't high, but Xu An, whose wallet was empty, had no choice but to say goodbye.
In his previous life, Xu An was an ordinary administrative staff member. He may not have been highly proficient in various skills, but his basic understanding of them was definitely not weak.
In a company, a clerk is never just a simple clerk; sometimes they are a receptionist, a secretary, an HR professional, a cleaner, a graphic designer, and so on.
He has to be able to do whatever the company needs, and he has to be fully skilled in everything.
It's unlikely that Xu An could design a perfect flyer, but he could certainly create a passable one based on his memory of those flyers.
You can manage to get by with your limited skills when it comes to flyer layout, but you still need to hire professionals for photography.
Xu An spent two hundred yuan to hire a photographer from a photography company who specializes in food photography, and had seven photos taken and retouched.
At this moment, Xu An missed the mobile phones of later generations, whose rear cameras easily boasted tens of millions of pixels, with some even reaching 100 million pixels. He could easily take a bunch of pictures with his phone and make a flyer.
Current mobile phone camera pixels...
Oh, it's alright. Xu An doesn't even have a cell phone, not even an old-fashioned one. Hiring someone to take photos is the right choice.
Xu An placed the order with a photography company, which then arranged for a photographer to go and take the photos.
When they heard that the task was to photograph food, several photographers raised their hands to take on the job.
But upon further inquiry, it was discovered that this wasn't an order from a large hotel or restaurant, but rather from an ordinary small fast-food shop, and the raised hands were quickly lowered.
Ultimately, it was the new employee, Awei, who was forced to accept this assignment.
Ah Wei had no objection to the task. As a newbie who had just entered the industry, what he feared most was being given tasks that he couldn't complete.
Taking photos of food at a small fast-food restaurant is a piece of cake for him; he might even get a free meal and save money on a meal.
"Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, No. 63, Zijing Road South, Haishi".
Awei found Xu's Fast Food Restaurant based on the registered address. It was the only shop on the street without a sign, making it very easy to spot.
The dining area was empty with only three rows of tables, but the kitchen was filled with the sounds of conversation and the faint aroma of chili peppers.
"Is the boss there? This is photographer Awei. Are the dishes ready?"
Xu An and Zhou Qi were preparing food in the kitchen when they heard Awei's voice. Xu An quickly washed his hands and walked out while drying them.
Just one glance at the photographer, Awei, and Xu An felt his eyes were being assaulted by the aesthetics of the times.
2012 was a long time since the era of "non-mainstream" fashion, and it wasn't as eye-catching as it used to be. But what was popular that year were all sorts of bright colors, such as red, yellow, orange, and other incredibly vibrant hues.
At this moment, Awei was wearing red casual shorts, a bright yellow top with a unique design, and dark blue canvas shoes. He looked like a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
This is the trend!
Xu An suppressed his shallow ignorance about trends and politely invited Awei to sit down and have some tea in the shop. He then turned around and went back to the kitchen to start cooking.
The design concept of the flyer is very simple: it lists all the meals for the seven days of the week, with the menu changing every week.
The month is divided into four weeks, with a total of four menus and twenty-eight different dish combinations.
Today's filming will focus on the meals for the first week. After closing up shop yesterday, Xu An spent the afternoon and evening figuring things out. After communicating with Zhou Qi again this morning, they finally finalized the menu for this week.
The menu for day one: pickled fish, steamed egg with minced meat, eggplant with fish-fragrant sauce, and seaweed and egg drop soup;
The menu for the second day: braised pork belly, minced pork with pickled cowpeas, stir-fried cabbage with glass noodles, and mung bean sweet soup;
The menu for the third day: twice-cooked pork with lettuce, braised tofu, mashed potatoes, and lotus root and pork bone soup;
The menu for day four: Braised lion's head meatballs, ...
......
Zhou Qi was shocked when he saw the menu. He had heard the workers at Jiajia Fast Food Restaurant say that Xu An's boxed lunch stall had very good food.
Yesterday's lunchbox looked good, but he didn't expect it to be this good every day!
He's starting to worry that the boss might go bankrupt because he can't make money. He's seen bosses with such good conscience before, but very few of them survive.
