The elderly men and women surrounded Xu An, their faces beaming with friendly smiles: "Young man, are you a deliveryman for Xu's Fast Food?"
Xu An nodded subconsciously and asked, "Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Young man, could you tell me what dishes are included in today's boxed lunches?"
Although the request was somewhat inexplicable, it wasn't unreasonable. Xu An simply showed everyone the dishes for today.
"Hey, the dishes today are pretty good too: braised chicken pieces, shredded pork with eggs and mushrooms, and cucumber salad. Tsk tsk, really good."
"The mung bean soup is also very good. Judging from its appearance, it must have been stewed for several hours."
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
"This must have been ordered by Xiao Ye again, tsk tsk."
"Building No. 1, the one on the left."
"......"
The elderly folks continued their discussion, and Xu An found an opportunity to slip away.
The people in this neighborhood are so incredibly welcoming!
I went up to the sixth floor, found room 601, pressed the doorbell, the door opened, the meal in my hand disappeared, and I had seventeen yuan in my hand. Then the door closed again.
The whole process took less than three seconds, and Xu An couldn't even see whether the person picking up the food was male or female.
"Hello, I'm the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. I'm really sorry for forgetting your order yesterday."
After Xu An finished speaking, he waited for a while but received no response. There was no movement in the room either, so quiet that Xu An wondered if what he had just witnessed was just his hallucination.
Hmm, she's probably extremely socially anxious, so I'd better not bother her.
Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly noticed a bag of packed trash in the corner. After hesitating for a moment, Xu An picked up the trash and said, "I'll take the trash down for you."
After saying that, he picked up the trash and went downstairs.
After the footsteps gradually faded and disappeared completely, Ye Ning, who had been standing stiffly behind the door, regained her mobility and returned to her desk.
This is terrifying! This person actually wants to talk to me!
After silently criticizing Xu An a few times, Ye Ning opened the plastic bag, took out the two boxed meals, and found two cans of drinks inside the bag.
Haiquan apple cider vinegar? What's that? Never heard of it.
He casually placed the two bottles of apple cider vinegar and the soda together, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
After a satisfying meal, Ye Ning slumped in his seat, took out his phone, and opened QQ Space to check his friends' updates. This was Ye Ning's daily routine after meals, where he would stay informed about world events.
While scrolling through my feed, I suddenly saw a job posting: 'Seeking a programmer to design a restaurant order page. Payment negotiable. Interested parties please add QQ xxx or call xxx.'
Hmm? Posted by Xu's Fast Food?
Ye Ning looked at the lid of her empty lunchbox, which had the words "Xu's Fast Food" printed on it.
The owner of this shop is quite trendy; food delivery was just starting to become popular in other cities, and he got involved in it as soon as he discovered an order had been missed. He immediately tried to find a solution to the problem.
Ye Ning searched for takeout online, and after flipping through more than ten pages of various takeout options, she still hadn't finished.
Wow, this competition is really fierce.
After randomly clicking on a page to take a look and understanding its basic requirements, Ye Ning found that designing such pages was not difficult. If he were to do it himself, it would normally take three days, and if he needed an expedited service, it could be completed in two days.
Back in the space, Ye Ning read the message sent by Xu's Fast Food again and opened the chat box of Xu's Fast Food.
How much would you charge for restaurant webpage design?
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Ye Ning put her phone aside and continued browsing the food delivery websites on her computer.
As Ye Ning was brushing his teeth, he suddenly felt a little thirsty.
Ye Ning reached out and touched two cans of ice-cold drinks. Thinking they were the sugary drinks she had bought, she opened them and took a sip before realizing something was wrong.
Why does it taste sweet and sour? Is it expired and spoiled?
Looking down at the drink in my hand, Haiquan apple cider vinegar, it seems to have been delivered by Xu's Fast Food Restaurant?
I frowned and took another sip. Hmm, the taste wasn't entirely unacceptable; I took another sip, and it was alright...
After Xu An went downstairs, the elderly men and women who had just gathered together to chat had dispersed, leaving only two or three people playing cards under the tree.
As soon as Xu An stepped out of the residential compound, he headed towards the Shanghai Library.
What he didn't notice was that an electric scooter was following him from a distance, perfectly following his walking route.
The electric scooter followed Xu An to the street opposite the Haishi Library, where the middle-aged woman on the scooter observed the two from across the street.
"The flyer said it was a restaurant, and it even had photos of the store. How come there are two tricycles instead? Is it just a lie, and there's no restaurant at all?"
The woman looked at the two tricycles across the street with some confusion, but after thinking about it, she decided that since she had already followed them all this way, she might as well continue following them.
If it's a boxed lunch from an unlicensed, unregistered workshop, I'll have to persuade Xiaoye to stop eating from that restaurant when we get back.
After waiting for almost forty minutes, watching the riders on the other side leave and return several times with their full loads of boxed lunches, I finally saw them pack up and go back.
The woman followed Xu An and his group in the same manner. When she saw them stop in front of the store, she got out of the car, locked it, and walked straight to where she had parked the car the day before.
As she approached the store entrance, the woman looked up and indeed saw the sign for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
They really do have a storefront; they're not just fooling people.
