Chapter 8: I've been looking forward to you
Liu Qifeng didn't expect Zhang Xinhuo to be so direct, making a phone call was like asking for a debt.
The short pause made Zhang Xinhuo realize that there was something wrong with his speech, and then apologized: "I'm sorry Mr. Liu, everything in Jiangcheng is a race against time, and I was too abrupt." β
Liu Qifeng was not angry, but admired Zhang Xinhuo's anxious character, "It's okay, a cart of Wuchang rice is already on the way to Jiangcheng, in order not to delay the time, I specially asked Tianfeng Express for plane consignment."
After landing at Jiangcheng Airport, I will transfer to land, just wait for your phone number to send me the detailed address.
I will follow up the logistics information at any time, and notify you to unload the goods as soon as it arrives. β
Liu Qifeng specially told Zhang Xinhuo to personally accept this big truck of rice, and he could only rest assured when it was handed over to him in a down-to-earth manner.
Zhang Xinhuo thanked Liu Qifeng for his kindness, Wuchang Rice Flower Fragrance is a famous rice brand in the country, and of course the price is not cheap.
Such high-quality rice can provide better nutrition and more energy for frontline medical staff.
Liu Qifeng politely rejected Zhang Xinhuo's thanks, "The angels in white take the greatest risk to do the most tiring work, and they must be fed well, this can be regarded as a little bit of the heart of our peasant brothers in Hei Province." β
"Mr. Zhang, your torch lunch box brand has not yet entered the Black Province, right? I am very interested in developing the lunch box market in the Black Province, and we will meet and talk after the epidemic?"
Hei Province is located in the northeast of the country, and since ancient times, it has been known for its fierce people, and it has always been difficult for outsiders to do business in the local area.
In the second half of last year, the Torch Box Lunch began to roll out directly operated stores and agents across the country, and Hei Province was one of the few provinces that failed to extend into it.
If Liu Qifeng can get his help, the business of the Torch Box Lunch in Hei Province will definitely be much smoother.
Once this iconic province is taken, the business of other provinces will also be quickly defeated.
"Okay, then let's make an agreement. When the epidemic is over, I will definitely visit the Black Province. β
The two happily hung up the phone, and Zhang Xinhuo fell asleep while sitting in a chair.
In a daze, someone was pushing him and shouting: "Chairman, someone is looking outside." β
When Zhang Xinhuo opened his eyes, the sky was just a little dark, he slapped his face with his face, lifted his spirits, and then put on a mask and went out.
Just opened a crack in the door, and the howling cold wind poured in.
Outside the door stood a woman in a traffic police uniform, with a straight posture in the faint morning light, as if the cold wind had no effect on her, quite the temperament of a modern Valkyrie.
Seeing Zhang Xinhuo come out, Xin Yue raised her hand and saluted, and then said apologetically: "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry."
Yesterday didn't help, but wasted your precious time. β
Zhang Xinhuo waved his hand, "I am very grateful that you are so willing to help, you are the first noble person I have met since I entered Jiangcheng, you must not blame yourself."
Look, I'm pretty good here, aren't I?"
Xin Yue followed Zhang Xinhuo's hand and looked into the store, and saw that the others were getting off the makeshift bed made of chairs, so she asked, "You slept here last night?"
Zhang Xinhuo smiled awkwardly, "It's not because I was too busy yesterday, I didn't have time to arrange a place for them to live, so I will stay here for one night." β
Xin Yue's voice became serious, "You can't squander your body like this, if you fall ill, not only will you not be able to support the hospital, but it will increase the burden on the country and Jiangcheng." β
Zhang Xinhuo obediently admitted his mistake, "What Captain Xin Yue said is that I will let them find a hotel to live in today." β
Zhang Xinhuo thought that Xin Yue would spare him, but she immediately vetoed it, "No, except for the designated hotels to receive specific groups of people, other hotels have been ordered to close down."
You have gone and run in vain. β
She pulled out her mobile phone and dialed, "I'll contact you with my friend, he has a vacant room there, you can stay there temporarily." β
Zhang Xinhuo hurriedly stopped her move, "Captain Xinyue is slow, it's not appropriate to do this."
We go out to the hospital every day to deliver food, and we make at least two trips a day, so we are at risk of contracting the virus at any time.
If we go to the residential community, there is a high probability that the virus will be brought into the community and the residents will be infected, and we cannot do that. β
Xin Yue was a little impressed by Zhang Xinhuo, they were all reduced to sleeping chairs, and he was still thinking about the safety of others.
She raised her hand and glanced at the time, "My work time is coming, I will call a friend who does real estate to come and connect with you."
He has a lot of resources at his disposal and can help you find a place that will not infect others and arrange accommodation. β
Xin Yue was really a resolute woman, she quickly flipped out the address book, and sent the person's name and phone number to Zhang Xinhuo through text messages.
After making a phone call in person, he told the other party to come over as soon as possible, and then drove away immediately, without the slightest verbosity.
As soon as dawn, Xu Diao and Cheng Tao came to the store, followed by a man with glasses, who was twenty-four or five years old.
Xu Diao shouted: "Mr. Zhang, a Mr. Niu who is a real estate man came to you and said that he was looking for a place to stay for you." β
Then he held Zhang Xinhuo's hand again and said apologetically: "I really didn't take care of it yesterday, and I didn't even think about arranging accommodation for you." β
Zhang Xinhuo didn't mind Xu Diao, it was already a great favor that he could lend the store to him for free.
Zhang Xinhuo went up to meet Niu Qingshan and got to know each other, Niu Qingshan screened according to his requirements for a while, and after Zhang Xinhuo denied several choices, in the end, only one of the faΓ§ade houses of the old community was left.
This house is the commercial frontage of a former beauty salon, and more than 150 square meters have been transformed into eight small rooms.
Each small room is separated by a cloth curtain, which can be lowered to create an independent room, which can well protect personal privacy.
Although it is not a commercial house, there are bathrooms and bathrooms inside, and it is very convenient to live.
Although it is simple and not as spacious and bright as a commercial house, it is ten times better than sleeping in a chair.
The key is that it is close to fast food restaurants, and it is safe and convenient to go back and forth.
Zhang Xinhuo immediately made a decision, and after paying the deposit and two months' rent, Xu Diao took the initiative to ask Ying to help go to the supermarket to buy bedding and help them arrange accommodation.
After solving the problem of accommodation selection, Zhang Xinhuo devoted himself to the intense business of cooking, and six people had to prepare a boxed lunch for 500 people, which was quite arduous.
Especially today's dish of stewed pork ribs with potatoes, just peeling potatoes will keep them busy.
At this time, Zhang Xinhuo's cooking skills were completely displayed, I saw him holding potatoes in his left hand and holding a planer in his right hand, and his movements were so fast that almost people couldn't see clearly, and in the blink of an eye, a smooth potato with a good skin appeared.
The four relatives had only known that he had started the Torch Box Lunch from scratch, but they had never known that he was so good at the kitchen that he could cut potatoes alone was worth the sum of five of them.
Especially Cheng Tao, whose mouth is wide open can stuff a super-large goose egg, he quickly took out his mobile phone to record the chairman's divine operation.
He is completely convinced of this chairman. In case of shock, he was able to establish such a good network when he first came to Jiangcheng, and his work efficiency was much higher than his own.
What is surprising is that he, as the chairman, still cooks good dishes and shows good cooking skills.
He was recruited to join the company in the second year of the establishment of the Torch Lunch, and it was rare to meet Zhang Xinhuo in the field to expand the market, and his understanding of him was limited to official information and the usual video conferences.
But in just one day of getting along, Zhang Xinhuo constantly refreshed his perception of him.
He secretly tasted the food cooked by the chairman yesterday, which is not much better than the chef of a well-known hotel.
is also a standardized recipe for a fire box lunch, and the dishes he cooks are better than those cooked by him and Wang Dongli.
Others may not be able to taste the difference, but he has a sensitive tongue, and he can see the slightest difference.
Once a person is convinced by another person, he will try his best to praise him, respect him, and think about him.
He felt that the people at the headquarters and outside netizens should have a better understanding of this magical chairman, so he paid special attention to capturing various moments of Zhang Xinhuo in his spare time.
After a busy morning, Zhang Xinhuo was the only one who participated in the whole process from side dishes, stir-frying, dispensing, and packing, and he was also the only one in the team with such omnipotence.
When the incubators were loaded into the car, Xu Diao finally hurried back, put down the door key and joined the moving army without saying a word.
When I arrived at the No. 2 Hospital in the city, it was just time for dinner, and the nurse who was crying and laughing yesterday immediately rushed over when she saw Zhang Xinhuo.
"Chef Zhang, you're here, I've been looking forward to you all morning!"
