The shopkeeper's unprovoked scolding did not make Zhang Xinhuo angry, and he took a few steps back as he said, standing outside the door and waiting to watch them busy.

Judging from the ingredients prepared, they should have prepared four dishes: stewed beef brisket with radish, braised pork ribs with potatoes, stir-fried lettuce, and boiled corn.

If calculated according to the current price in Jiangcheng, at least as long as the amount of such a meal is more than usual, the cost is probably fifteen or sixteen yuan.

After going to the supermarket several times, Cheng Tao had already told him the results of the investigation, and because of the lockdown of Jiangcheng, he felt that the meat and vegetables in some small and medium-sized supermarkets had all risen sharply.

Even under the regulation, there are few pullbacks, which are higher than usual, and the pork has soared to more than 30 yuan a pound a year ago.

Therefore, Zhang Xinhuo immediately made a judgment: if the price of the lunch box they supplied to the hospital was 16 yuan, then they really didn't consider making money.

Don't be carried away by the greed for profit in a dangerous situation, such a person is worthy of discussing big things and worthy of his help.

Chen Tao drove over with grain, and when he saw Zhang Xinhuo standing at the door, he ran over to say hello, but was stopped by Zhang Xinhuo and told him not to make noise.

The two of them waited for five or six minutes, and the little girl who scolded Zhang Xinhuo was busy with the work at hand, and then washed her hands and walked out.

"I'm sorry just now, who are you looking for?"

Cheng Tao spoke first, "We are looking for Wang Fangfang, I contacted her on the phone not long ago, saying that I would give her a batch of rice."

He introduced Zhang Xinhuo by the way, "This is our boss, Mr. Zhang Xinhuo. ”

"Oh, it's you, I'm Wang Fangfang, the owner of this shop. The girl smiled awkwardly, a little unsure of the embarrassment.

Zhang Xinhuo said: "We are all very busy, just stand at the door and say a few words." ”

"That's right, we are a chain brand of torch lunch boxes, and we just came to Jiangcheng from Sichuan Province two days ago to provide free meals to the hospital.

Two days ago, we got a batch of rice-flower-flavored rice donated by Chairman Liu Qifeng of Hei Province, and we couldn't use it up ourselves, so we planned to donate some loving restaurants that also provide meals to the hospital, so we found you here.

I heard that since the closure of all walks of life in Jiangcheng, you have taken the initiative to apply to continue to provide meals for the hospital, much earlier than us.

I truly admire your loving actions and set a good example for us caterers. ”

Wang Fangfang praised Zhang Xinhuo a little embarrassed, scratched her head and said: "It's nothing, the doctor treats and saves people in the front, and we cook for them in the back, which is what I should do." ”

The words "should be done" are so simple, but there are very few people who really have this kind of awareness, courage and action.

How many men are not as good as the daughter's family in front of them.

Cheng Tao asked, "How many hospitals do you supply in a day?"

Wang Fangfang replied: "At the beginning, when the epidemic was not so serious, it was about 100 servings a day, but as more and more doctors are supporting, now we have to supply nearly 200 servings a day. ”

Zhang Xinhuo looked at the few four people in the store, and saw Wang Fangfang's thick dark circles under her eyes, and asked, "Then you must be very tired, two hundred copies is already a huge workload." ”

Wang Fangfang said: "It's okay, I called my parents and brother to help, and we can only sleep for four hours a day at most."

I just feel sorry for my parents, who have to suffer with me at such an age.

It's nothing if I'm tired myself, and it's nothing if I don't make money, the key is that it's too difficult to procure ingredients.

There are only small and medium-sized supermarkets in our vicinity, and the goods in them are too expensive, and ordinary people can buy them to get by, but it is difficult for us to afford such a large purchase, which is very difficult. ”

Zhang Xinhuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was not easy for this little girl, and it was still so difficult for him to rely on the support of the headquarters.

A small boss like her is in the mainland of Jiangcheng, and there are no resources available, so she can only persist with perseverance.

At the same time, he is also glad that he has a standardized process and a professional team under his hands, otherwise he would not be able to provide so many boxes of lunches with his tired and tired work.

Zhang Xinhuo asked tentatively: "Why do you still do it after you are so hard and tired? Even if you retreat now, no one will blame you." ”

Wang Fangfang didn't know how to answer, so she took out her mobile phone and flipped out her circle of friends to show Zhang Xinhuo and them, "I want to do this drudgery because I can't stand it after watching the circle of friends of medical staff."

They charged ahead, but they didn't have any supplies, and they fought hungry every day.

You see they are now sending me the meals I cook for them every day, and they thank me in the circle of friends, and I feel very down-to-earth.

It's impossible to go back, and if I do, they're going to starve, and I think that's unforgivable.

I have already told my family that we will be able to withdraw when the epidemic will recede and when the doctors and nurses will no longer need us.

At that point, I'll give myself a long vacation and a good rest. ”

Zhang Xinhuo and Cheng Tao carefully looked through Wang Fangfang's circle of friends, and a few pages were full of pictures and thanks from the doctors.

One of the accompanying sentences is the most moving, "With you in the back, we are not afraid!" When the epidemic recedes and the spring flowers bloom, I must lead the medical staff of the hospital to order takeout with you for ten years. ”

The people of the whole country are saying to the front line, "Come on Jiangcheng, come on the angels in white", but the angels in white are not real angels, they are also human beings, and they will also feel afraid.

It's just that "there is you in the rear", so they are not afraid.

Zhang Xinhuo said: "I know why you insist so much, because you always think about others in your heart." ”

Later, the "big white bear" in the circle of friends said: "They are the only motivation for you to persevere no matter how hard and tired you are." ”

Wang Fangfang murmured in her heart: "Because I think about others in my heart, but I never felt that I was so great." ”

Wang Fangfang's parents and brother are already packing boxed lunches, and each bowl has a lot of meat dishes, which is not at all comparable to the usual fast food portions.

It is impossible for her to make money by doing this, and her family is really supporting the front line with their lives.

Time is especially precious in Jiangcheng, rescue needs to race against time, cooking and delivering food has to race against time, and even carrying materials are scrambling.

Unloading thousands of catties of rice and sending it to Wang Fangfang's "Fanghua Fast Food Restaurant", Zhang Xinhuo looked at the signboard above his head and admired himself.

One shop, four people, two hundred servings of fast food, they used their time and sweat to carry the rear supplies of the white-clothed soldiers in Jiangcheng, and this battle will be immortalized.

Zhang Xinhuo asked Cheng Tao to go back in his co-pilot to discuss things together, and the others drove back in the van.

In the car, Cheng Tao reported the useful information he obtained like a repeater.

The prices of small and medium-sized supermarkets are very expensive, and they are not suitable for the huge consumption of thousands of box lunches every day, such as the Torch Lunch Box.

The price of vegetables in large supermarkets is constantly being intervened and regulated, and it is declining, but the quantity is limited and the purchase is also limited.

If the Torch Lunch Box is forced to purchase ingredients in various supermarkets, it will affect the supply of materials to the general public in the supermarket, and will greatly increase the operating cost of the Torch Lunch Box.

If they rely on such high prices, it will seriously threaten the Jiangcheng support operation, and even bring huge risks to the capital chain of the headquarters.

It is now important to find a way to establish a reliable supply of food ingredients now, so that we can continue to win this long-term battle that we don't know when it will end.
