"He's using too much oil and salt, and he still wants to take care of his health? Look at this, things are pretty bad now. It's not that the cafeteria is too big, and everyone has to sit during mealtimes, but the weather is bad now, so the young man is just making do. What will happen when it gets hot?"
"Is the food in the Nanyuan District bad, or is it just weak? Or is it worse back home...?"
The Qiyuan Canteen, located in the Nanshe area, is quite easy to find. Just follow the tiny white clouds that are rising, and you will find the large bungalow where the Qiyuan Canteen is located.
"That idea is wrong. Try it when you get home later; they say it'll definitely help you eat two fewer pieces..."
It's 10:30 a.m. now, and the food truck responsible for delivering food to Xu'an Slow Dining Restaurant has just left the store. It won't arrive there until 11 a.m. at the earliest. If we go to check out Qiyuan Canteen in the Nanshe area next door first, it will be a disaster.
"Let them eat there, you still hate the food in that cafeteria..."
"You're here to investigate how satisfied this young man is with our shop's boxed meals, to see if there's anything that needs to be changed, refunded, or adjusted."
"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me... can't they have a few minutes... to conduct a thorough investigation?" With a confident expression, hesitant tone, and no hint of timidity, Xu Shi perfectly captured the image of a recent graduate.
"Hey, the food here may be bad, but it's more suitable for a big feast during the Lunar New Year. You ate here once and had an upset stomach all night. You're just going to eat here, but the cafeteria over there is much better."
"Why are you making such spicy dishes again! Can't you consider your health at all!"
The meal pickup point for the Nanyuan area was located in the leisure area on the left-hand side near the back gate of the area. Xu An Catering's insulated food cart was really small, so it was easy for Xu to find the boxed meal pickup point there.
"Yes, young master, please tell me!" Madam Xu immediately took out her notebook and pen, pretending to take notes.
"Yes, yes, young master, you're right!" Madam Xu nodded repeatedly and wrote down the young master's suggestion in her notebook.
That might not be profitable for the local contractors, but the one who won the canteen meal contract wasn't a special contractor, but Wang Fulong's old employer, Jinxiu Hotel!
Before inspecting the dishes, Xu began inspecting the venue.
A canteen serving 700 people needs eight staff members, which would cost 17,000 to 18,000 yuan a month just for labor. That would cut the profit by at most one-eighth. After deducting other expenses, a canteen's monthly profit would be at most 20,000 to 80,000 yuan.
Xu An, who was always victorious, suffered a crushing defeat that time!
Steamed eggs with minced meat, mushroom and meat patties, steamed lotus root balls, stir-fried snow peas and wood ear mushrooms, diced chicken with tomatoes...
Thinking it through makes sense, truly thinking it through makes sense.
"Can you offer some suggestions?" the young master asked immediately upon hearing this.
Thinking of this, Xu turned the car around and headed straight for the Nanshe area.
Yes or no, the dishes there are indeed lighter, mostly steamed or stewed, with many dishes stir-fried with seasonings. Unlike the various spicy dishes that often appear in Guansha's slow food, there are all of those over there.
"It's the restaurant inside! It's Seven Yuan Slow Dining, Seven Yuan Slow Dining, the one in the Nanyuan area!" The young man gestured with his hands in the air, chattering on and on: "It's so much more interesting here. They film everything every day: what vegetables they buy, how they look, how they're processed and cooked, how they're packaged. It's so reassuring to watch..."
Heavy oil and salt intake, weakness, strong spleen and stomach...
"What I mean is, he could mention to his subordinates that the meal vouchers should be limited to such a small number, so that we can eat in the cafeteria if we want, and eat at the slow food restaurant if we want."
"In your opinion, the canteens in the Nanshe area are worse. They're a bit bland, and although the ingredients are fresher than over there, they're bad for your health! If we ate eight ounces of those Xu An Slow Meal boxed meals, none of us would have to make a few less trips to the hospital..."
"Indeed, you tried it once after exchanging it with us, and the taste of this boxed meal was really good. After you finished eating, you could just toss the box aside and be done with it. It's so convenient!"
"The food in the Nanyuan area is all oil and salt, fried and deep-fried all the time. Eating that every meal must be tough on the body..."
"The dishes were still wrong. The portions were passable, but the taste wasn't right. It was too bland. We're all in our fifties now, our sense of taste isn't what it used to be. We need a lot of oil and salt to really taste it..."
As soon as I parked the car and took two steps back, I saw a group of young men and women sitting on a row of small trees behind the square. One group of young men and women seemed to be chatting with the salesperson. The group was quite quiet, without saying or laughing.
"You bad guy, you've got to remember this."
hiss----
Seeing that, an idea arose in Xu's mind. In a flash, she transformed, holding a white notebook in her right hand and a white pen in her left, with a pair of non-prescription glasses perched under the notebook. Without any shyness, she approached one of the groups of people in the small tree.
"I just wanted to ask them how satisfied they were with the seven-yuan cafeteria..." Upon seeing this, Xu immediately went to her stepmother's side, opened her notebook, and pretended to be working diligently. Looking at the questions written in the notebook, she asked them verbatim: "Are the dishes served every day neither meat nor vegetables? Are you satisfied with the portion sizes and variety of the dishes?"
"Yes, yes, Miss's suggestion is very important, you must write it down!" Madam Xu nodded again and wrote down the words with great speed.
A monthly profit of 20,000 to 80,000 is more than the daily profit of Jinxiu Hotel. Is it possible that the 7 Yuan Canteen has no subsidy from the amount?
The situation in the Nanyuan area is fantastic!
"Oh dear, it's been tough eating light meals for two days, and now they're bringing out slightly spicy dishes again..."
It's highly likely that the land for that canteen was provided by the neighborhood committee, either through rent or by paying a very high rent. There are eight people outside the kitchen, who appear to be a junior chef with two senior apprentices in charge of the canteen's meals. Inside the canteen, there are only a few men and women who look like employees: one is a cashier, one is serving food, and one is in charge of hygiene and washing. It's a small but complete canteen.
However, the main target audience of Qiyuan Canteen now is retirees, especially young people of that age who don't have any major health problems and need to be careful about their diet. Few people eat those oily and salty dishes, and even if they like them, their bodies will find them difficult to tolerate...
