Chapter 70: Takeaway Adventures (Part I)
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, with the idea that if he can earn something, it is better than not earning, Ji Xuan started his food delivery career.
As long as you want to find something to do, you can start a part-time job as a "takeaway brother" if you want to find something to do, authenticate your identity on the software, submit a few documents, and pay a deposit.
Although part-time jobs are not as expensive as full-time orders, it is better to do it when you want to do it, and take orders when you want to.
If you don't want to do it in the future, you can return the deposit at any time, and the time is very free, and there is no daily hard task standard.
In this era, there is no shortage of people who order takeout, even if it is the New Year, there are still many people who will order takeout.
And it is also because of the Chinese New Year, most of the full-time delivery workers are on vacation, so Ji Xuanneng has received a lot of orders.
No, in just one morning, he has already delivered more than a dozen takeaways, and the money he earns can be more than fifty yuan.
What surprised Ji Xuan the most was that the takeaway platform would even give a small subsidy to each order during the Chinese New Year.
If you add the subsidy, he can earn seventy or eighty yuan in the morning, and if he works a little harder in the afternoon, it is estimated that he will earn two hundred yuan a day, which should not be much of a problem.
More than two hundred a day, then a week is about fourteen or five, after estimating in his heart, Ji Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but say to himself;
"Yes, yes, it seems that it is a very good decision to choose to deliver food during the holidays, and 15,000 is enough for my living expenses for a month. β
Thinking of this, Ji Xuan decided to treat himself for lunch, found a noodle restaurant, and asked for a large bowl of lasagna with meat and vegetables, which cost twenty yuan.
Yes, a bowl of noodles for 20 yuan is already considered a "luxury" for Ji Xuan, there is no way, this is also the "sequelae" of beating the poor.
A big bowl of noodles is down, Ji Xuan is full, and fortunately, his part-time job is to deliver takeaways, otherwise he really doesn't know that there is a noodle restaurant that is also open for the New Year in this corner of the New Year.
After eating and drinking, Ji Xuan sat in the store and rested for a while, and by the way, he also looked at the mobile phone and other orders, maybe there would be people who placed orders in this store in the next moment.
In the noodle restaurant, there was Ji Xuan, a guest sitting in the dine-in, and when he was bored, Ji Xuan took the initiative to chat with the owner of the noodle restaurant;
"Boss, most of the people have gone home this Chinese New Year, why are you still open?"
At this time, the boss was not busy, so he took over and said: "Others, they are all looking forward to the New Year, but I am afraid of the New Year." β
"Because I have no family for a long time, I am alone, what year will I live? β
Hearing this, Ji Xuan was a little surprised, and blurted out: "Boss, depending on your age, you are only in your forties, how can you ......?"
Halfway through speaking, Ji Xuan stopped abruptly, because he realized that it didn't seem polite for him to ask others about their privacy like this.
But the boss waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't been able to find someone for a long time, who can sit down and talk for a while, as long as you don't mind listening, I won't mind talking." β
So, for the next ten minutes, Ji Xuan sat in the store and listened to the middle-aged noodle restaurant owner talk about what he had done.
It turned out that the noodle shop owner had been an orphan since he was a child, grew up in an orphanage, and when he became an adult, he came out to work.
He had a lover and a child, but when the noodle shop owner was thirty years old, his lover and child passed away forever in a car accident.
In those years, the owner of the noodle restaurant lived a messy life, borrowing alcohol every day to kill his sorrows, and he felt that there was no hope in his whole life.
Until one day, he ate a bowl of noodles in this shop, and the owner of the noodle restaurant at that time was an old man who was nearly eighty years old.
The old man has no children and no daughters under his knees, and he still remembers that at the beginning, it was also such a cold scene for the New Year, the old man talked with him a lot, and his heart knot seemed to open at a certain moment.
Since then, he has been learning to make noodles with the old man, and a few years ago, when the old man also passed away, he took over and became the owner of this noodle restaurant.
After listening to the noodle shop owner's story, the corners of Ji Xuan's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Yes, in this world, everything is impermanent, and God will never give a person much mercy in the second half of his life because of how much suffering he has suffered in the first half of his life.
The experience of the noodle shop owner is sympathetic, and at the same time, it makes people feel that this is one of the countless normalities in real life.
Compared with the noodle shop owner, Ji Xuan feels that his current situation does not seem to be so bad.
At least, I still have expectations, looking forward to the return of my parents, looking forward to seeing Xiao Si after three years of appointment, and even more looking forward to relying on my own efforts to bring stable happiness to the people I love around me in the future.
Tick, tickββ!
At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and Ji Xuan saw that it was an order prompt from the takeaway software.
Quickly opened the phone, and for the first time, Ji Xuan first looked at the order fee column.
At this glance, his eyes suddenly widened, because this was the takeaway he had seen with the highest order fee so far.
In the column of the order fee, it is written that it is 100 yuan!
A single 100 yuan, not to mention that Ji Xuan has never met it, it is estimated that many takeaway brothers who have been doing it for several years have never met it.
Without hesitation, Ji Xuan hurriedly took this order, this is really a big order, with this order, maybe he can earn more than three hundred today.
After taking the order, Ji Xuancai took a detailed look at it, and finally understood why there was so much money in this order.
It turned out that the guests who ordered this takeaway had some special requirements, so they added more than 90 yuan in additional errand fees, which was a total of 100 yuan.
The special request for this list is to go to a high-end restaurant far away, and then use the special insulated box provided by the restaurant to send a high-end sashimi meal.
And in order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, this takeaway must be delivered within half an hour, otherwise you will be fined, and the fine is three times the order fee!
Finally, after the takeaway, the special insulated box has to be sent back to the restaurant, which is really complicated.
Seeing that the time had begun to count down, Ji Xuan didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly said goodbye to the noodle shop owner, then rode on the electric car and quickly drove towards the restaurant location on the order.
At the same time, on the second floor of the Bai family's manor villa, in the room of the eldest lady of the Bai family, Bai Zhenzhen stared at her mobile phone.
Because on her mobile phone, it was a page for ordering takeout, and her eyes fell on the lower right corner.
There is the information of the delivery rider, and there is a name on the back: Ji Xuan!
After being stunned for a while, Bai Zhenzhen switched to the mobile phone page and dialed a number;
"Hey, Steward Li, there's a takeaway delivered in a while, you don't have to help me get it, I'm going to get it myself!"
