Bai Lin took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not as easy as I imagined, less than 80 yuan." ”

The girlfriend was obviously disappointed, and let out a soft "ah", and felt unbelievable, after all, this income was less than one-tenth of Bai Lin's original job income.

Not to mention the loss of his girlfriend, Bai Lin himself can hardly accept this feeling of falling from the clouds, but life must go on, he has been completely blocked by Liu Yuan, and he can only find food from this almost thresholdless job.

The following days were similar to the first day, Bai Lin slowly became familiar with most of the places in this Suzaku, and some of the businesses that he frequented could not rely on navigation, but the addresses for food delivery were varied, and he still had to rely on the guidance of Sister Chi Ling to enter and exit various communities and office buildings.

Bai Lin used to be half an otaku, and his daily route was the company's residence convenience store, and his knowledge of Suzaku was limited to a few bustling neighborhoods, but now after a few days of running, he saw the other side behind Suzaku's glamour, an area that would not be discovered by any media.

He also slowly summed up some experience, which places have many orders, which places are easy to walk, which places are fast to eat, and which places cannot be gone - for example, orders from some hospitals and old communities, he would rather be idle on the side of the road than take them.

Because these places have a common disadvantage - the road conditions are complicated, time-consuming, and laborious.

The first time he delivered takeaway from a hospital, the address was in the ward on the 14th floor, accurate to the bed number, Bai Lin was really startled by the scene in front of him when he entered the inpatient building with the food during the peak dining period-there were two long queues at the door of the elevator room, and seven or eight security guards were on the side to maintain order.

Seeing this scene, Bai Lin was a little stunned, he called the food ordering user, and the other party claimed to be a patient and couldn't get out of bed, so he had to send it up.

Bai Lin obtained his consent and clicked "Complete Order" first, so as to ensure that he would not be deducted overtime.

After waiting in line in the elevator room for about two minutes, people kept coming, but there was no sign of anyone in front, Bai Lin was anxious, at this speed, it is estimated that he will not be able to go upstairs for half an hour, at this time, it is at the peak, and every minute is money!

"Hello, where is the fire escape?"

Bai Lin decided to climb up, although he had already gone to the 14th floor, it was not a matter in front of the money, so he asked the security guard next to him.

The uncle glanced at Bai Lin in disbelief, "Young man, you can think about it, that place doesn't work." ”

Bai Lin thought that the security uncle felt that his fat body and physical strength were not good, so he explained, "It's okay uncle, I can do it." ”

The uncle shook his head and pointed him in the direction, Bai Lin didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and rushed over.

However, when he climbed to the 14th floor, he was still out of breath, but he was desperate to find that the door of the corridor was locked, and it could not be opened from him at all - it turned out that this was the obstetrics and gynecology department, the department was special, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, and there was no other entrance except the elevator.

Bai Lin finally understood what the security uncle meant just now, and had no choice but to run back to the first floor in a gloomy manner, queue up again, and toss for more than half an hour before going upstairs.

There was someone guarding in front of the ward, except for the family members, Bai Lin I called the other party to pick it up, and after the person learned that I had gone upstairs, he agreed very simply, and soon appeared - he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he didn't look like a patient at all, needless to say, in fact, he was a family member, lying that he was a patient, and he was also afraid of waiting in line for the elevator.

This order made him very depressed, it took almost an hour before and after, and the unit price was not high, which was very cost-effective.

There are also two types of neighborhoods that are not cost-effective – those that are too high-end or too old.

In the community that is too advanced, usually the door needs to be registered, the elevator needs to be swiped, and the community that is not allowed to enter the car can only trot all the way to "walk", and send it down in one trip, which is not much faster than the hospital.

Not to mention the old community, there is no elevator in the seven- or eight-story building, climbing up and down is commonplace, and worse, the cold will encounter renovation construction.

One night I went to an old neighborhood to deliver food, just in time to build a road there.

There was rain in the sky, the trail was muddy, there were large and small pits dug on both sides, and there was not even a street lamp.

The customer's phone couldn't get through, so he had to try to knock on the doors of several houses, the first two ignored him, and the door of the third one opened a crack, and the people inside asked vigilantly what was wrong.

"Is Building 8 here?" The other party shook his head and told him that it was the next building, so Bai Lin found the unit and door number written on the order in the next building, knocked for a long time, and a woman's voice with obvious displeasure came: "Who are you looking for!"

"Hello, the takeout you ordered has arrived at ......"

"I didn't order takeout, I delivered the wrong thing!"

Bai Lin was stunned for a moment, and checked the address twice: Unit 102, Building 8, Unit 1, and he really didn't find the wrong one.

The phone left by the guest was still turned off, I looked for it twice again, but to no avail, the drizzling rain poured his anger more and more, I simply clicked "delivered" directly.

As a result, not long after Bai Lin put the food back in the incubator, the sliding door of a small garage next to him suddenly opened with a bang, which startled Bai Lin, only to see a man half of his body out of the garage and ask him if he was delivering takeaways.

Bai Lin checked the phone number and address with him, and it was completely consistent.

"Can you write your address clearly next time?" and please keep your phone open next time, I really can't send it if you do this!"

Bai Lin wanted to slam the takeaway on the other party's head, but he still took a deep breath, tried his best to restrain his emotions, and stopped himself from acting, but his tone still revealed dissatisfaction and complaint.

The man listened to Bai Lin's counts, did not apologize or refute, just silently took the meal over, and pulled down the door of the garage with a "bang".

The next day, Bai Lin received his first bad review in the industry - "bad attitude" and "delivery timeout", which was one of the few bad reviews in his short takeaway career.

Since then, the hospital and these two types of communities have entered the blacklist of food delivery in his heart, and he resolutely refuses to deliver meals during peak periods. The encounters in these places made Bai Lin understand what it means to be warm and cold, after all, there are only a few people who can really understand each other, and the thoughtfulness and tolerance of most people are just words.

In addition to fighting wits and courage with customers, sometimes you also need to love and kill each other with merchants, such as a Shanxi noodle restaurant in the city center, which is the master who has a headache when he receives an order.

Their façade is not big, and the taste of the dishes is really average, but every time the meal peaks, this Shanxi noodle restaurant can be crowded with riders who take the food, it may be a thick sauce and a large sauce, the taste is heavy, and the amount of vinegar is appetizing, which is very popular with nearby office workers.

The boss himself is also a chef, a very strong Shanxi man, his upper body is naked when he is down, with a greasy towel around his neck, all kinds of pasta are flying in his hand, and the rich vinegar sour smell can be smelled from afar.

At this time, if there is a dine-in business, it will definitely not be done, and the proprietress who helps with the dishes in the kitchen will rush out in a hurry, send the guests away in a few words, and then be yelled in by the boss at the throat.

After the dish is ready, it has to be packed, but the guy seems to be the boss's father-in-law, the old front teeth are gone, such a person is responsible for packing, the speed can be imagined, Bai Lin saw him for the first time, and what came to mind was the otter in Zootopia, I saw that he was moving very slowly, and a plastic bag had to be spit on his hand several times before it could be untied, and after packing, he had to match it three or five times according to the list.

Although it is slow, but others are not allowed to help him, saying that others will make mistakes, and often some people are so anxious that they scold their mother: "Next time, I will never take your list again!"

Of course, this is just angry talk, after all, wolves have more meat and less meat, and next time there is a list from his family, he will definitely have to come.

Every time I receive an order from this house, the prescribed 15-minute pick-up time is not enough at all, there is a "click to the store" on the platform, as long as you click this button after arriving at the store, the pick-up time will be extended, which sounds very humane-

However, Bai Lin used it twice before he knew that this function was a chicken rib - the postponed time was "moved" from the delivery time, and the delivery overtime would be deducted.

The rules of the platform say that you can appeal, but in fact, the success rate of the appeal is very low, and even some force majeure factors are encountered, such as a business has a power outage, and you can't call and cook within 2 hours, just before he is stuck in this order, so he can only cancel it himself and deduct 8 yuan.

Appeals? useless.

Since becoming a "rider", Bai Lin and his girlfriend have less and less time together, occasionally she will wait for Bai Lin to come back, the two have dinner together, at first they will ask how the income is, but gradually they will stop asking, the topics that the two can talk about have become as few as the dishes on the table, Bai Lin can feel that her hope for herself is slowly disappearing.

This silence made him depressed and anxious, Bai Lin's words became less and less, the computer was eating dust in the corner, and he didn't even have time to turn it on, he didn't know what to say, he could only work harder every day to deliver food, Bai Lin I knew in my heart that the only way to break the silence was to earn money.

Fortunately, the urban area of Vermilion Bird City has not swelled, and the number of runs has increased, as Bai Lin has become more and more familiar with the road conditions, the takeaway delivery has become more and more handy, and the income has also slowly increased, slowly rising from 80 yuan a day to 90, and then to 100 or 200 yuan.

But "200 yuan" seems to have become a ceiling, and no matter how hard he tries every day, he can only send this number, and it is difficult to go further.

At this time, Bai Lin had been working for a while, and suddenly a message flashed on the APP, and it was the platform that asked him to "participate in training".

Bai Lin didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was another formality, but after reading the notice carefully, he found that this training is not only for newcomers, but also for many veterans to participate - because the platform is going to launch a new "errand" business, people who do not participate in the training are not qualified to take orders, and the notice also said that the problems encountered in the meeting can be fed back at the meeting, so that the official can solve them in a timely manner.
