The news the man brought yesterday had a huge impact on Xu An, so much so that he couldn't really enjoy the delicious whole pig feast that followed.
If what the man said is true, then he can take the initiative and seize this market that others have not yet noticed.
Xu An now faces two choices: one is to open a branch near a large construction site of Xuguang Real Estate; the other is to rely on the transportation capacity of small trucks and continue to use the current transfer station for transportation.
Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, but Xu An prefers the latter.
Opening a branch requires capital; rent, utilities, labor, equipment, and all sorts of other expenses add up to a considerable amount. Transporting goods there in a small truck for sale only consumes a little gasoline and requires a few more employees.
Xu An opened the Haishi map on his computer and searched for Haishi projects under construction by Xuguang Real Estate. There were more than twenty projects of all sizes, but some were small rectification projects. The entire project team only had about ten or twenty projects, so he eliminated them directly.
There are twelve projects with more than 200 people and eight projects with more than 300 people. Two of these projects with 200 people are very close to each other and can be directly counted as a large construction site with 400 people.
Xu An marked all eight construction sites with 300 workers each and one large construction site with a total of 400 workers on the map, and then marked the location of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant in red, making the distance between each project and Xu's Fast Food Restaurant clear at a glance.
The closest one is the Zijing Garden construction site, followed by Xiuli Jiayuan, then Changchun Xuefu, and a large shopping mall is under construction in the middle of these communities.
The remaining four sites are all more than 15 kilometers away from Xu's Fast Food Restaurant and are located in the opposite direction from the other construction sites, so they have to be excluded from the plan.
Just as Xu An was writing and drawing, Aunt He came to work. Behind Aunt He was a woman of about the same age as her, who was observing the decoration and layout of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant with a curious look on her face.
It looks like a regular fast food restaurant, nothing special.
Then I took a deep breath. The food smelled really good, I could smell it from a long way away. It smelled even better when I got to the store. I just didn't know what it was.
“Boss.” Aunt He stood in front of Xu An, pulled the woman behind her over and introduced her, “This is Zhao Fang, my neighbor in the community. She heard that you need a dishwasher here, so she wanted to give it a try.”
"Yes, yes, boss, I'm very efficient at my work, and I keep the house and surroundings very tidy."
Xu An glanced at Zhao Fang's hand and immediately agreed: "Sister Zhao, it's a paid trial day. If there are no problems, we can sign a contract tomorrow. The pay will be the same as Aunt He's. What do you think?"
After Zhao Fang's matter was settled, Aunt He took Zhao Fang and the other person to get their food and eat together. They chatted and laughed the whole time, and seemed very happy.
Zhang Dezhen's braised food was ready, but he decided to soak it for an extra half hour to allow it to absorb the flavors better before putting it out to sell at 11 o'clock.
After two days of sales, the nearby residents all know that there is a Xu's Fast Food Restaurant here, which has delicious braised food at reasonable prices. They occasionally come in to buy some vegetables to treat themselves, and they can basically finish 70 jin of braised food a day.
If there were any leftovers, Xu Guosheng would buy them all and take them home to eat.
However, Xu An was also considering whether to restrict Xu Guosheng's purchases. Too much of anything is bad, and the same goes for braised food. Eating one or two pounds a day is too frequent; twice a week is more appropriate.
Beep beep beep—
Luo Min's computer received a QQ notification sound. She opened the message and saw it was from her best friend, Wu Yaqi.
"Minmin, the company wants us to change the afternoon tea menu. We can't keep having the same old cakes and snacks. Do you have any good recommendations?"
afternoon tea?
'Cake, cookies, fruit, chocolate, milk tea, fried chicken, pizza...' Luo Min typed a string of food names.
The budget is only three hundred dollars, but we need to feed more than one hundred people…
With 300 yuan for 100 people, that's less than 3 yuan per person. Aside from small cakes, cookies, and fruit, nothing else is realistic.
You can't just buy fried chicken and pizza and then have one chicken leg shared by two people, while the pizza is divided among ten or twenty people. That would cause public resentment!
Luo Min typed "Give up" in the chat box and was about to send it when a possibility suddenly occurred to her—braised food!
Vegetables cost five yuan per jin, and meat costs thirty yuan per jin. Theoretically speaking, if you only buy vegetables, three hundred yuan can buy sixty jin, and each person can eat half a jin!
This seems like a good option!
'Would you like to consider braised food?' Luo Min deleted the text in the chat box, typed this sentence, and sent it to the chat.
'Braised food?'
After thinking for a moment, Luo Min simply sent over the online ordering page for Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
"This contains information about braised dishes; you can take a look."
'okk'
Wu Yaqi clicked on the webpage link out of curiosity, which redirected her to a simple webpage. After skipping over the list of meals for Monday to Sunday at the top, she saw the braised dishes section at the bottom.
I invited Ah Wei over for a photoshoot yesterday, received the edited photos last night, and uploaded them first thing this morning.
Now, next to each type of braised food is a mouthwatering photo.
Upon seeing the price, Wu Yaqi's eyes lit up. This price, this portion! I can do it!
I found Xu's Fast Food Restaurant's phone number on the page and dialed it directly.
"Hello, this is Xu's Fast Food Restaurant. How can I help you?" Xu An was still the one answering the phone.
