When Xu Heping took over the task of registering orders, he thought it was just a simple registration job.
But as his phone rang again and again, and QQ kept buzzing with message notifications, and as soon as he finished replying to one person, three more chat boxes appeared on the other end, Xu Heping felt like he had a splitting headache.
As the registration process came to a close, the moment the bell or notification sound rang, Xu Heping felt his heart rate suddenly jump to 180 beats per minute; he was almost developing PTSD from the bell and notification sounds.
He couldn't help but admire Xu An; he himself was almost exhausted after doing this for only half a day, so how did Xu An manage to persevere?
As he was feeling sentimental, the QQ notification sound rang again. Xu Heping shuddered and quickly opened the chat box, typing out a message.
"Yes, this is Xu's Fast Food. Would you like to place an order?"
...
It wasn't until after 8 p.m. that Xu An finally brought Xu Kang and Xu Le, who were reluctant to leave and covered in sand, back to the shop.
Xu Heping looked at Xu An as if he had seen a savior, and eagerly stuffed the pen and notebook into Xu An's arms before letting out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing Xu Heping's behavior, Xu An couldn't help but mock him a few times before opening his notebook to check tomorrow's orders.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; when the last order number appeared before Xu An's eyes, his breathing suddenly quickened.
So far, there are 342 boxed meals ordered for tomorrow!
Just by adding one more main dish to choose from and expanding the delivery range by 300 meters, the number of orders increased by 200!
If we add another main dish and expand the delivery range by 300 meters, wouldn't the number of orders double again?
As he pondered this, Xu An chuckled at his own idea; it was far too far-fetched.
Let's be realistic and think about how to complete these orders tomorrow: 342 takeout orders + 30 retail orders at the entrance of the Shanghai Library construction site + 80 dine-in orders, for a total of 452 meals.
Wow! What a wonderful dilemma!
In order to complete the production of these 452 orders before 11 o'clock, Xu An got up at 5:30 to pick up the goods from the wholesale market.
The peak business hours for the wholesale market are from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m., and Bald Chen couldn't get away to deliver goods to Xu An alone, so Xu An had to come to pick up the goods himself.
Xu An experienced for the first time in a long time what it felt like to ride his bicycle alone to the wholesale market to pick up goods in the early morning. He was excited but also a little tired.
When Xu An returned to Xu's Fast Food Restaurant at six o'clock with the ingredients, Xu Heping and Xu Lili were already waiting inside. Upon seeing Xu An return, they quickly went up to help carry the ingredients.
When Zhou Qi and Liang Dani arrived at work, they were astonished to find the store in complete chaos, with even Grandma Xu picking vegetable leaves at the cashier with the two children, Xu Kang and Xu Le.
Before the two could react, Xu An directed them to put on aprons and start working.
When Zhou Qi and Liang Dani learned that they had to prepare a total of 452 meals before 11 o'clock, they both felt a little overwhelmed.
It's already eight o'clock, and the dishes aren't ready yet, let alone cooking them.
But there was no time for the two to reminisce. Liang Dani rolled up her sleeves and started washing rice and cooking, while Zhou Qi chopped the big bones loudly to prepare soup.
Xujia Village.
After hearing Xu An's offer to cooperate yesterday, Aunt Hong did not immediately express her opinion. Instead, she said she needed to think about it and then went home.
I couldn't come up with an answer even before going to bed. When it was time to sleep, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, my mind filled with the words Xu An had said at the beach.
What if what Xu An said is true? What if his small shop really can consume hundreds of kilograms of fruits and vegetables a day?
Then I won't have to worry about whether to cooperate with Shengli Supermarket anymore. It's too risky for everyone to grow the same kind of vegetable.
After Victory Supermarket announced its intention to cooperate with them, her first reaction was not happiness, but rather unease.
These days, all she can think about are negative thoughts like, "What if the supermarket breaches the contract?" and "What if the supermarket tries to lower the price after the crops are grown?"
After thinking it over for a long time, Aunt Hong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Or, we can go to Anzi's shop tomorrow and take a look!
Whether someone can eat over 100 kilograms of fruits and vegetables or not, just go to his store and check the customer traffic!
It's intuitive and clear, and you don't need to worry unnecessarily!
After struggling with the problem all night, Aunt Hong finally found a solution and went to sleep peacefully.
When I opened my eyes the next morning, I found that it was already bright outside the window. When I checked the time, it was already 9:30!
After quickly washing up, Aunt Hong rode her electric scooter to the Zijing Garden construction site.
After parking the car in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant, I peered inside and saw Grandma Xu sitting behind the cashier, but I couldn't see Anzi and the others.
"Third Aunt, I heard you came to Anzi's shop to work as an accountant. Third Aunt, you are still vigorous in your old age, and you are getting more and more promising as you get older."
"Ah, it's Xiudie." Grandma Xu looked a little surprised when she saw Aunt Hong. "Did you come here to try Anzi's cooking? Please have a seat."
"Third Aunt, I need to talk to Anzi about something. Isn't Anzi in the shop?" Aunt Hong walked into the shop and looked around again, but still couldn't see Anzi and the others.
"Busy in the kitchen."
Following the direction Grandma Xu pointed, Aunt Hong then saw that there were actually four or five people standing in the quiet kitchen, busy without saying a word.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Grandma Xu, Aunt Hong walked to the kitchen door and saw the bustling activity inside.
