At 11:50, Xu An arrived at the entrance of Elsa Clothing Company on time.
Xu An didn't even need to say anything today; the receptionist saw him, opened the chat group, and sent a message.
'Food, at the front desk.'
The moment the message was sent, eight people in the administrative department stood up and walked towards the front desk, with Ding Nan and Luo Min, the two who were eating rice, naturally leading the way.
The receptionist was stunned when she saw a total of eight people come out. Usually it was just two people, so why were there so many people today?
Upon seeing so many people suddenly ordering food, the receptionist couldn't resist her curiosity and pulled Luo Min back as he had already received his meal, paid the bill, and was about to leave.
Why are so many people from your department ordering food together today?
"It's so hot, nobody wants to come back drenched in sweat after going out. Plus, this place's boxed meals are pretty good in terms of both price and taste, and they even deliver to your door, so everyone's ordering from here," Luo Min explained to the receptionist, sounding annoyed.
The receptionist nodded as if she understood, then asked, "May I see what's in the boxed lunch?"
Luo Min didn't answer, but directly opened the lunchbox and showed it to the receptionist.
The top of the boxed lunch was a seemingly ordinary winter melon, barley, and pork bone soup.
Beneath the soup container was a serving of scallion oil chicken. Even without opening the lid, a rich aroma of scallions wafted out. The tender white chicken was garnished with bright green scallions, making one's mouth water at first glance.
The second box contained two dishes: one was a sweet and sour scrambled eggs with tomatoes that looked glossy and tempting, and the other was a cold salad of enoki mushrooms, which was quite an appetizing cold dish.
Luo Min quickly showed the contents of the boxed lunch to the receptionist, then immediately put it away and carried it into the office.
Today's meal was as delicious as ever, and we couldn't delay any longer.
The receptionist recalled the lunchbox dishes she had just seen, and then looked at Sister Liu and her group who were paying and ordering lunchboxes for tomorrow, and suddenly felt tempted.
"Boss, I'll order one too!"
After Xu An finished his deliveries and returned, Liang Dani also counted the boxed meals. A total of 64 boxed meals were to be delivered to the Shanghai Maritime College today, the highest number ever.
Unlike usual, today only Lao Han and one other boy were standing alone at the entrance, whereas on ordinary days a large group of boys would be waiting together.
Liang Dani got out of the car and unloaded the boxed lunches from the vehicle, asking as she did so, "Why are there only the two of you today? Where are the others?"
"Their exam was postponed and it's not over yet. Only the two of us have finished." Old Han gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"There are more than sixty boxed meals in total. How are you two going to carry them all back?" Liang Dani asked curiously.
"Let the two of you move it slowly," Old Han couldn't help but sigh, but his hands moved very quickly.
Liang Dani paused in her carrying, hesitated for a moment, and suggested, "Why don't you ride your bikes in together, and I'll wait for you outside for a while?"
"Is that okay?" Old Han's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Liang Dani.
Liang Dani nodded, and Lao Han and his companion quickly carried the lunchboxes they had just unloaded back to the car. They were about to leave when Liang Dani stopped them.
"The meal payment hasn't been settled yet!" Liang Dani held out her hand to Lao Han.
Old Han then realized what was happening and hurriedly took out some money from his pocket to give to Liang Dani. He waited until Liang Dani finished counting the money before riding away on his bicycle.
Finding a shady spot near the school gate, Liang Dani leaned against a pillar, took off her straw hat, and fanned herself to cool down.
At this moment, several people came out of the school gate, loudly discussing where they planned to go for summer vacation.
Liang Dani heard the key word—summer vacation!
My mind quickly went through a series of associations with this keyword: summer vacation = students on holiday = going home = order volume drops drastically!
The boss just expanded production today, and now it's summer vacation. It would be terrible if we couldn't sell them all!
At the entrance of Shanghai Library.
After deducting the number of pre-ordered boxed meals, there were 63 boxed meals left today. At 11 o'clock, the workers sold 36 of them after get off work, passersby and residents sold 7, and scattered office workers sold 12. At this time, there were 20 boxed meals left on the stall.
However, it's only a little past twelve o'clock now, and we hope to sell out the remaining boxed meals before one o'clock.
Across the street, in a restaurant, a middle-aged man had already taken a window seat, ordered a meal but didn't touch it, staring intently at Xu An's boxed lunch stall through the window.
Twenty minutes after Liang Dani left, the man suddenly left the restaurant and walked straight towards Xu An's boxed lunch stall.
Xu An was looking down and sorting out the boxed lunches on his stall when he suddenly saw a pair of large feet wearing brown sandals come into view.
"Young man, how much is this boxed lunch?" the man asked.
Xu An stopped what he was doing, looked up, and saw a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty-five or forty-six years old.
He has a Mediterranean hairstyle, very distinctive large ears with long earlobes, and a chubby appearance. His smile can easily give people a sinister feeling, like a venomous snake staring at you.
At this moment, he looked at Xu An with a smile.
"Eight yuan for a serving of three dishes and a soup. Today we have scallion oil chicken, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cold enoki mushroom salad, and winter melon and barley bone soup. Want one?"
"Can I see what the dishes inside look like?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Xu An nodded and took out the packed lunch boxes, placing them one by one on the stall. Through the transparent plastic lids, the dishes inside could be clearly seen.
