There were a lot of boxed meals to deliver today, so Xu An and Xu Guosheng left early after lunch to make sure they delivered all the meals on time.
Because there were many scattered orders at the Yinxing office building, Xu An also asked Lao Han and his roommate to come over and help with the deliveries.
Calculating the time, it's already mid-August. In September, Lao Han and others will have to go back to school, so they may not have time to work as delivery riders every day.
We need to recruit riders too, otherwise there won't be many riders available once this large student army disperses.
After completing the order at the Yinxing Office Building, it was already 12:30, only half an hour before the 1 PM deadline for collecting lunchboxes at the Haishi Library and Red Brick Creative Park. The two simply sat in the small truck, chatting with the air conditioning on.
As they chatted, their conversation gradually turned to their second grandfather.
A few days ago, my second grandfather and Uncle Dongliang went to the city to attend a meeting on the construction of new rural areas. Normally, village cadres like my second grandfather don't need to go to meetings in the city. He got this opportunity by shamelessly begging.
After returning from the meeting, my second grandfather seemed lost and muttered the same few words over and over again.
'Why doesn't Xujia Village have any historical or cultural relics? Even just finding a few dinosaur eggs would be nice! If not dinosaur eggs, at least find something unique, but there's absolutely nothing!'
What wonderful policies and development opportunities! It would be a shame to miss out!
'.'
Xu An remembered this incident. After his second grandfather and Uncle Dongliang finished their meeting, they stopped by his shop for a visit and had lunch before going back.
But this is just village appearance improvement, it's just basic construction like repairing roads, adding trash cans and cleaning up, what does it have to do with dinosaur eggs and historical and cultural relics?
That's what he was thinking, and that's what Xu An asked aloud.
Xu Guosheng was stunned by Xu An's question for a full three seconds before he slowly came to his senses and asked with a puzzled look, "Who told you about the village appearance renovation?"
That's how Majia Village did it in the past!
Of course, he could only think this in his heart and couldn't say it out loud. Xu An quickly found an excuse to answer: "I just heard from other villagers that they plan to widen the road and repair the exterior walls of the houses in the village. Isn't that what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Guosheng sighed and began to explain to Xu An.
After listening to Xu Guosheng's explanation, Xu An finally understood why his second grandfather insisted on attending the meeting as a village cadre.
This is not simply about improving the appearance of the village; it's about supporting new rural industries!
If there are industries suitable for rural development, that comply with regulations and procedures, have development prospects, and can create jobs and increase farmers' income, they will be given a certain level of support.
For example, Beitun Town, which is close to the sea and has high-quality natural beaches, received support at this meeting to develop seaside tourist attractions around the natural beaches, attracting people from Haishi to visit during their weekends.
No wonder my second grandfather kept muttering about dinosaur eggs; now I know what it was all about.
Xu An recalled the locations of Qianhai Town and Xujia Village, and couldn't help but sigh. It would be an impossible task for Qianhai Town to develop its tourism industry!
It is true that Qianhai Town is surrounded by the sea on three sides, but the coastline of Qianhai Town is mostly mudflats, and it is rare to find a long and narrow beach.
The widest part is more than three meters wide, but the narrowest part is less than half a meter wide. The beach is full of strange rocks and is not suitable for playing.
Aside from tourism resources, greenhouse cultivation is the most promising area. The fruits and vegetables grown in Qianhai Town, especially in Xujia Village, taste good and are of high quality, making them very popular.
However, this has an inherent disadvantage: the farmland in Qianhai Town is fragmented and scattered, making it impossible to develop and manage on a large scale.
Who would have thought that the land where Aunt Hong's greenhouse is located is already one of the top five largest tracts of planting land in Qianhai Town?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that all possible avenues for development have been blocked.
Just then, Xu An's phone rang. It was Liang Dani calling to say that the boxed meals at the Red Brick Creative Park had been delivered and the boxes could be recycled.
Xu Guosheng stepped on the gas and headed to the Red Brick Creative Park. Xu An's attention also shifted away from the new rural construction, but he still had this matter on his mind.
After collecting all the boxes from the two transfer stations onto the small truck, Xu An and his companion returned to the shop first.
With the addition of He Gu's six friends, the store's hygiene was well maintained. The floor was clean and there were no piles of tableware on the tables. Zhou Qi no longer complained to himself that his right hand was twice as thick as his left hand from serving food.
Compared to when Xu Angang was delivering food, there are now far fewer customers in the store, and many empty seats can be seen.
To Xu An's surprise, the braised dishes were also sold out, and the first to sell out were actually the spicy braised dishes.
Another positive development is that apple cider vinegar sales have reached a new level.
Before the introduction of braised dishes, apple cider vinegar sold around 300 cans a day; after the introduction of braised dishes, sales increased to 370 cans a day.
Today's sales hit a new record, reaching an astonishing 537 cans!
There are still two weeks left before the Haiquan apple cider vinegar one-yuan exchange promotion ends. If I can maintain the current sales volume, I can still make six or seven thousand yuan for free.
After working in the store for a while, Xu Heping returned with the riders to settle their wages. However, neither Xu Heping nor the riders looked too happy.
What happened? The boxes were fine when we collected them just now.
