Chapter 196: Xu Shanshan

Whoa~

The faucet was unscrewed, and the cold tap water kept gushing out, splashing on the stainless steel plate of the sink and then falling weakly, and finally rushing to the sewer with the current.

The cold natural water hit his face, and the sluggish spirit of the dynasty was restored.

In fact, the current dynasty does not need to be cleaned, because when it is transformed into thunder, all the dust and dirt will be removed by the lightning. The dynasty is dusty and does not stir up dust.

Wearing a yellow uniform and a hard hat, Wang Chao is a delivery boy working in Huaihai.

Huaihai, the most prosperous city in Chinese mainland, has the largest population in China, the first in Asia, and the first in the world. This is the most populous city in the world, with a resident population of more than 20 million, a floating population of more than 6 million, and a short-term floating population that has not been counted. This city has a population of nearly 30 million, and every day there are young people with dreams who arrive here from the exit of long-distance stations, high-speed railways, and airports.

And how many edges and corners are smoothed out every day, losing fighting spirit, losing youth, and leaving the city with scars and frustration.

Huaihai is like a giant whale, it swallows all directions. The flow of people is like a school of sardines brought by the warm current of the Atlantic Ocean, they are carried by the ocean current, and they are swept into the stomach of the giant whale in the Huaihai Sea, and the giant whale is caressed. Some became part of the whale, but many more were excreted from the body.

Everyone who works hard in the city has their own dreams, whether they want to get ahead here or want to make some money and go back to their hometown. In this city, everyone is so busy that there is not enough time to eat.

Wearing a red, yellow and blue uniform, the takeaway brother handed over bags of takeaway with residual temperature to the hands of customers, those not hot meals warm every hungry stomach, in the morning light, under the scorching sun, in the afterglow, in the night, relying on the only temperature in the stomach, how many people who want to give up tell themselves in their hearts "try again" and then get up again and again to continue to work and study. Among these people are you, me, and him.

The giant wheel of the times never stops for anyone, just like the wheels of the takeaway brother are never blocked by traffic lights.

"Eleme 1174, three fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowls. Take it on the table. ”

"Meituan 7673's, mapo tofu rice bowl and shredded pork noodles, find it yourself and take it away. ”

In a small shop, the stove in the back kitchen is busy and hectic. Like a quartermaster who distributes ammunition to the army during the war, the boss handed over a packed takeaway to the tricolor knight. After receiving their 'ammunition', the tricolor knights ran, eagerly loading the takeaways into incubators like logistics troops transporting supplies to the front, and then rode away on small electric donkeys.

The electric gate is fully open, and the horsepower is maximized. The dynasty likes to ride a small electric donkey, because the little electric donkey can run very fast, as long as it is given enough electricity, it can carry itself to the end of the world, and for the dynasty, electricity does not cost money.

Walking through Huaihai City, the dynasty never cared about the distance of transportation, nor did he have any worries about electricity.

Although Wang Chao has been working in Huaihai for a short time, he has become a gold medal delivery person. More than 1,500 orders were delivered in a month, and an average of nearly 50 orders were delivered a day. Because of the overdelivery of many takeaways, Dynasty can earn six yuan for a single takeaway. You can earn about 10,000 yuan a month.

Carefully calculated, it is actually about the same salary as his database work in the capital, except that it is more tiring, in fact, there is nothing bad. At least it's free.

There is an incubator on the rear of the battery car, just like the one that is standard in all cities in China. Wang Dynasty drove a battery car through a road that was not very wide, and drove into the Caoyang Railway Vegetable Market to deliver his last takeaway order at noon.

"Meituan takeaway. The car stopped in front of a braised vegetable shop in the vegetable market, and Wang Dynasty was ready to leave after delivering the takeaway. But when he saw the person ordering takeout, he was slightly stunned.

"Eh, it's Brother Wang. A woman with a smile and eyes like a crescent moon took the dynasty's takeaway.

"Xu Shanshan, this is your shop. "The dynasty knows this woman. This woman is her neighbor, and she was the one who gave her a piece of pork head meat last night.

Because the rent in Huaihai is very expensive, the house rented by the dynasty is from the old community. There are a lot of irrational designs in that kind of old house, such as three families sharing a gate, sharing a toilet, and sharing a kitchen. Each house is only about 20 square meters, or even a little smaller. In this way, the rent can be about 2,000 rooms.

The woman, Xu Shanshan, was a neighbor who lived next door to her. Because of his other status, the dynasty has always lived in seclusion, rarely going out except for work and punishing prisoners in the name of thunder and lightning. And it never fires, although it is said that the three families share a kitchen. But his stove was never used.

Xu Shanshan is a woman, Wang Chao has only had a few nodding friendships with her. But this woman has a very cheerful personality, she smiles when she sees everyone, and she also sends herself some pickled vegetables or something from time to time. Although every time Xu Shanshan said that it was sold in the store, the leftovers were sold.

"Brother Wang, come and drink a bottle of ice water. Xu Shanshan took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator in the braised vegetable shop and handed it to Wang Chao: "It's this summer, it's hot to run takeout." ”

Now the temperature outside is 32 degrees, and delivering food at noon despite the high temperature cannot be said to be an easy thing. Wang Chao did not shirk Xu Shanshan's kindness, he took the water bottle: "Thank you." ”

"Come on, come on, if you're not busy, sit and rest for a while, drink saliva and then go. Xu Shanshan's smiling eyes looked like a crescent moon, and people couldn't bear to refuse her kindness. Wang Dynasty nodded and sat on the bench handed over by Xu Shanshan.

"Brother Chao, how long have you been delivering takeaways?" Xu Shanshan opened the takeaway box and chatted with Wang Chao while eating mapo tofu rice bowl.

"Three or four months. Wang Chao sat on the bench, took a sip of water, and his eyes did not look at Xu Shanshan but at the floor, as if there was something nice on the floor.

"Sometimes I go back at night and see you still going out in your uniform. Are you going to deliver food?"

"Well, sometimes. ”

"Then you are delivering both lunch and dinner, and you are still sending supper?"

"That's right. "The dynasty sometimes goes out not to deliver supper, but to deal with some things that must be dealt with as thunder and lightning, and to deal with some people who must be dealt with.

Xu Shanshan said in an appreciative tone: "Brother Wang, you are really working hard." Where are you from?"

"Capital's. ”

"What are you doing in the capital?"

"It's also food delivery. The dynasty didn't want Xu Shanshan to continue to inquire about his past, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said, "What about you, Xu Shanshan." We've been neighbors for a long time. Where are you from?"

"I'm from Xiangbei. Xu Shanshan gulped down the rice bowl, not as delicate as many urban girls, especially female white-collar workers. She eats very boldly, the kind of gulp and pull into her mouth, but the amazing thing is that her eating style does not make the dynasty think she is rude.

Wang Dynasty raised his head and looked at Xu Shanshan: "Then you have been in Huaihai for a long time?"

"It's been two years. ”

"I've been opening a braised vegetable shop here for two years?"

"Hah, where can I be. The rent of the vegetable market here in Huaihai is very expensive. Where could I afford to rent a store here in the first place? I first sold braised vegetables in a cart at He Jialang. ”

"It was hard. "Once upon a time, the dynasty was 9 to 5 in the morning and worked in the office all the time. Now a few months of work experience as a takeaway boy has made him understand how hard it is to work in the wind and sun. It was hard for him to imagine how hard it was for a weak-looking woman like Xu Shanshan to push a cart and sell braised vegetables on the street.

"Hey, nothing hard. Just get used to it. Xu Shanshan smiled and waved her hand, the smile on her face seemed to confirm that what she said was true. It's just that the calluses on her hands are very eye-catching.

Wang Chao was silent for a while and said, "Now that the store is open, life is going to be better." ”

"That's right. Before Xu Shanshan's words were finished, a customer appeared: "Eh, boss." And forty dollars beef. ”

Xu Shanshan put down the unfinished lunch and neatly picked up the knife to cut the beef for the customer.

"Boss, is it okay for forty-five yuan?" Xu Shanshan looked like she had cut a few more yuan, and the customer on the other side thought for a while: "Okay." ”

After a customer's beef was bought, another customer came: "Little girl, cut the intestine for twenty-five yuan." ”

"Auntie, I'll give you Cheha. Oh, is it okay for twenty-eight yuan?" It seemed that Xu Shanshan had cut a few more dollars.

"Yes. "The eldest lady took out twenty-eight yuan.

In a break between meals, Xu Shanshan's business seems to have become very good. There were several guests before and after, and every time Xu Shanshan went under the knife, it didn't seem to be very accurate.

It wasn't until the meal was cold that Xu Shanshan had time to sit down and continue to eat her lunch.

Wang Chao said jokingly: "You still have to practice this sword technique." I can't cut it every time. ”

Xu Shanshan said softly: "Shhh, it's not that it's not accurate." It's deliberate. ”

"Huh?"

"More cuts and two or three dollars, customers don't care. But I can sell an extra hundred and eighty dollars a day. If I don't work hard, how can I make more money? Xu Shanshan has her own way of business: "Cut more and sell more, as long as there is no shortage of catties and twos, and the taste can be done, then there will be many customers." ”

"By the way, Brother Wang, is the pork head meat I gave you last night delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious. "Wang Dynasty drank four bottles of cold beer last night with a pound of pig's head meat.

Xu Shanshan's eyes rolled, and she suddenly said with a smile: "Then I'll bring you some more at night." ”

ps: Ask for tickets~
