Chapter 297 How many boxed meals can be produced if we put in all our effort?
“Miss Zhu, the bus we are on now is the fastest way to get from Hongshan Town to Hezibao. It will only take two hours to get there…” As she spoke, Lu Shengnan magically pulled five plastic bags out of her pocket and distributed them to everyone, keeping one for herself.
"This is..." Zhu Zhu looked at the red plastic bag that Lu Shengnan had stuffed into her hand with a puzzled expression.
"The roads here are quite bumpy, and it's easy to get carsick. Because we were in a rush this time, we forgot to bring any motion sickness medicine. Please bear with us." Lu Shengnan said this in a completely different tone from her usual cold and indifferent attitude, her voice was extremely gentle.
Zhu Zhu glanced at the endless, flat road ahead of the bus, muttered to herself "alarmist," casually stuffed the plastic bag into her pocket, put on a sweet smile, and started taking pictures.
"Hello, it's 10 PM now. After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, I've finally arrived in Hongshan Town, Honghe City, Qingyan Province! However, it's still a two-hour drive from town to Hezibao..."
Because it was too late, all the buses to Hezibao had stopped running, so Lu Shengnan had to contact Li Sixin and ask him to help arrange a seven-seater van.
Logically speaking, minivans are smaller than buses, so their stability should be improved.
They didn't know if the driver was in a hurry to drop them off at Hezibao and then go home to rest, but he drove so fast that Lu Shengnan and the others felt like they were riding in bumper cars.
The two photographers in charge of the shoot were still trying to steady themselves and take pictures at the very end, but a slight turn almost threw our cameras off, so they had to give up the idea of shooting and obediently sat outside the car, vomiting all over...
Thanks to the driver's efforts, the journey that originally took two hours was completed in just one hour and seventy minutes. It was only because there were seven people that the trip was slightly disrupted.
"Wait a minute..." Xu An took a few deep breaths and, before calming down a bit, immediately started making arrangements for filming.
"Twenty thousand or eighty thousand!" Grandpa Qi pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "That's alright, it should be enough."
There weren't even two adult women outside the room...
Finally, they found Ye Ning, who quickly patched the webpage, making it accessible to IP addresses within Shanghai. Only then were the order data successfully exported, completing today's orders...
"It's been used." Li Sixin looked at Si Long, who was still talking eloquently in front of the camera, and said with a smile, "Secretary Li, you help take care of those seven guests. You can go down and find General Manager Xu yourself."

Knock knock————
In reality, Xu's original words were—"You're afraid I'll be criticized to the point of depression by netizens no matter who you assign that task to, but Lu Shengnan is the one you're most worried about, because I'm petty..."
Hearing Li Sixin's reply, Lu Shengnan unlatched the door and was about to leave the room when Si Longshu called out to her, "Is it too convenient inside? Can't we talk outside his room?"
"You are Li Sixin, the new general manager of Silong Catering. The boss, Mr. Xu, asked you to bring him some things!"
"Hmm..." Si Longgao slowly did some mental calculations and replied, "If it's definitely a long-term, small-batch purchase, then installing the machines and hiring people on this side of the road will make it difficult to produce a total output of 20,000 to 80,000."
Just as Xu was preparing to wash up, her seventh grandfather's voice suddenly rang out from inside the courtyard gate: "Anzi, are you home?"
"I talked about that with someone, and I was thinking of telling him about it." Grandpa Qi looked around and raised his voice to ask, "How many boxed meals can his slow-food restaurant produce a day, given how much effort he's putting in?"
"It's been a few days since I last saw you. You've gotten a bit too fat." Grandpa Qi looked Xu up and down, then patted my shoulder with a smile: "I heard you took on the seven-yuan lunch program in the Nanyuan area?"
"Seventh Grandfather, stop keeping him in suspense. It's making things complicated for you."
"Thanks to the driver, we arrived at Xu Heping's village office, seventy minutes late! It's a pity it's too late now; everyone outside the village has turned off their lights and is resting, so we can't show the young man the sight of thousands of lights shining..."
"What's wrong, Seventh Grandpa? Does he not know anyone who wants to order a small batch of boxed meals?"
"Boss, did I not say why I asked you to come?"
"Welcome back to Xuheping, Mr. Lu!" He Zibao took the enormous suitcase from Li Sixin and said with a smile, "The village office has very few rooms, so you'll all have to squeeze in tonight. There are no restrictions on the conditions, I'm sorry! Let's go to the kitchen first and have some brown sugar and egg water..."
"Is that filming?" He Zibao asked uncertainly, after all, there would be something like that filming when Li Xiudie picks mushrooms next time.
"Yes, how did Seventh Grandfather know about that?" Xu asked suspiciously. "I told people outside the village about it, even Uncle Dongliang knew..."
After saying that, Grandpa Qi patted Si Long on the shoulder, walked out of the courtyard, and thoughtfully helped Madam Xu close the courtyard gate before leaving.
"He tells you first how much he can produce!"
After saying that, Li Sixin took the suitcase back from Hezibao and struggled to carry the 28-inch suitcase downstairs. The suitcase was quite large, and Si Longshu had to catch his breath after every two steps before he could go down two more steps.
"Based on the model he's currently in charge of in the Nanyuan district, it might involve residents voting to choose between Seven Yuan Slow Meals or Seven Yuan Canteens..." Grandpa Qi glanced at Madam Xu and slowly finished the sentence: "That model will be promoted to the entire Hai City. He should at least make some preparations."
