After Xu Heping left, Xu An took out a pen and paper from the bedroom and began to calculate.

Lunch boxes can be made at home, and now there is no need for incubators in this weather, and two large foam boxes are enough. There is only oil, salt, soy sauce and sugar at home, and the seasonings still need to be added a lot, so it is conservatively estimated that this part will cost 20 yuan.

Lunch boxes, boxed lunches, packing boxes, plastic bags, chopsticks and spoons are all available, but these are not expensive, and you won't get too much on your first attempt, and you can get five pieces.

Then we came to the most important thing, the meals in the lunch box.

Xu An recalled that the videos he saw on the short video platform selling boxed lunches at the construction site were basically three dishes, one meat dish, one half meat and half vegetarian dishes, and one vegan dish.

Then calculate the amount of ten parts according to this configuration.

Let's start with a braised pork, a boxed lunch with about two taels of juice, and two catties of raw meat are enough. If you want to make braised pork, you have to use pork belly, the price is more expensive, you have to pay 131 catties, and 2 catties will be 26 yuan.

Half meat and half vegetarian just have a tomato scrambled egg, and there are tomatoes in your own field. Eggs can be bought directly and come back, and they can also be eaten at home on weekdays, a total of twelve pieces.

The last vegetarian dish is a stir-fried cabbage, which is refreshing and refreshing.

According to statistics, it costs a total of sixty-three, and the expenditure on ingredients is thirty-eight, and the discount of home-grown vegetables is about forty-five.

The more quantities purchased, the lower the cost. If a certain amount can be purchased every day, the purchase price of meat and vegetables can be reduced by two or three yuan per catty, and the whole cost can be reduced by ten yuan and eight yuan.

It's just that I don't know how much the price of the lunch box is appropriate, and if the price is too high, the workers won't buy it.

Until he graduated and worked, Xu An had never eaten a boxed lunch outside, either cooking by himself or eating a big pot of dishes in the canteen, and he didn't know the price of fast food boxed lunches at this time.

After work, I ate a boxed lunch at noon, but in 16 years, a boxed lunch cost fifteen yuan, and this price is not alive on the construction site at all.

Let's go to the vicinity of the construction site to find out the situation and make a decision.

When I went to Xu Heping's house, General Tie guarded the door, and the people didn't go home, so I didn't know where to play.

After wandering around the village, I finally found someone under the banyan tree at the head of the village, who was happily playing marbles with a group of seven or eight-year-old children, and seemed to have won a lot, with a large pile of marbles at his feet.

"Heping, I'll go around the construction site and see what food is there, do you want to go?"

"Go and go, when I'm done playing this one, I'm about to win."

I know that Xu Heping is talking about going, but it sounds so much like letting myself go.

After waiting for two minutes, Xu Heping finally won this one, and left with Xu An in the child's resentful gaze with two bags full of marbles.

It takes half an hour from the village to the town, and half an hour from the town to the city construction site.

Xujia Village is not large, and if you trace back three or four generations, you will find that their village is a foreign household.

Xujia Village is a grandfather's grandfather's generation suffered a famine, and the army moved all the way south, and two brothers chose to settle in this desolate place by the sea.

After years of cultivation and recuperation, from the first two families to the current more than 20 households, it has become today's Xujia Village.

There is a bus stop outside Xujia Village, and there is a bus to the city at 7 o'clock in the morning, 11 o'clock at noon and 12 o'clock at 12 o'clock, and the two of them just caught the bus at 12 o'clock.

After Xu Heping got into the car, he took out the marbles in his pocket and counted them one by one, and after counting the last one, he smiled and wanted to share the joy of his victory with Xu An, but found that Xu An looked distressed.

"What does Anzi want?"

Xu An said his thoughts, Xu Heping's eyes lit up when he listened, and he patted his chest and recommended himself: "I don't know how to cook, but it's no problem to get started." ”

Then he sold his fish pond again.

"That's pretty much the right thing, I'll go back in the evening and ask my parents for some sponsorship. Forget about the money, the fish should be able to pull to the point. ”

Xu An understood Xu Heping's thoughts, he was not a fortune boy, giving away his fish everywhere. He just knew his current predicament and wanted to help himself as much as he could.

"I appreciate your kindness, but this is a business, one yard is one yard, and if you really want to use the fish, you have to count the money, and it should be as much as it should be."

"Don't you want to have a free one, you have a bit of a problem with your brain."

"My brother settles the accounts, and this is not like eating once and a half like on weekdays. If the business really starts, there are many places where fish will be used. ”

"Okay, okay, I can't tell you the truth, I'll ask them for a preferential price."

Looking at Xu Heping's indifferent appearance, Xu An knew that this kid didn't listen to his words.

The plan to sell lunch boxes is still being conceived, and even if it is actually implemented, it does not necessarily require fish. When the time comes, if you really need fish, skip this kid and communicate with his parents.

The bus passed by a construction site that was laying the foundation, and this geographical location gave Xu An an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Xu Heping noticed Xu An's gaze and looked out the window: "Isn't this the construction site where Uncle Dongliang works, it seems that he wants to build a residential community, it seems to be called Bauhinia Garden." ”

Bauhinia Garden!

Xu An finally remembered that he would pass by here every year when he came home during the winter and summer vacations in college. Looking at the desolation here from the beginning to the crowd at the back, and watching the housing prices here rise from 5,000 per square meter to 20,000 per square meter, it is 3,000 yuan per square meter higher than other surrounding communities.

Because this community includes residential, commercial, educational and medical facilities, it can meet the daily needs of all residents in the community in all aspects.

The most important thing is that the construction site in this community is large enough, there are enough workers, and the construction period is long enough. There will be no new work for a month or two, and the project will be over, and a new construction site will be found for a new round of business.

The pre-sale of the first phase of the house is in March next year, and after more and more people come here to buy houses, various snack street commercial streets will slowly begin to form in the surrounding area.

Now it's still a barren place, with little competition, but the demand is high.

It's a very good choice.

Coming out of the city bus station, the two got on the bus, and only two stops before they came across a construction site.

There is security at the entrance of the construction site, and it is still a little difficult to get in. But now it's noon break, and there are a lot of workers wandering outside the construction site.

Xu An set his sights on an honest man sitting in the shade of a tree outside the construction site, munching on a boxed lunch.

The man's wrinkled black face and large, slightly deformed hands like a fan are all proof of his years of work on the construction site.

Most of the bento boxes have been wiped out, and the dishes can be inferred from the remaining meals.

The lunch box is divided into two compartments, the large one contains white rice, and the small one contains stir-fried cabbage and half a chicken thigh.

He took out a box of Double Happiness from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the man. As the man took the cigarette, he squatted down next to him.

"Dude, are you working on this construction site, how is the treatment at this construction site?"

The man finished the lunch box in two bites, carefully gathered each grain of rice in the lunch box, put it in his mouth, and then licked the chopsticks and stacked the lunch box on the ground with the clean and new box lunch.

"The treatment, it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way to work on this construction site."

"The lunch box you just ate was provided by the construction site, it looks like the dishes are not bad, and there are chicken legs."

The man 'cut' with a disdainful voice.

"You have seen the chicken legs, how can it be a meal on the construction site. I have traveled north and south for more than ten years, and I have worked in twenty or thirty construction sites, large and small, and none of them can have a large piece of meat in the food, and a layer of oil and water can float on it, which is considered good. ”

Xu Anxin was stunned, but asked knowingly, "What was the lunch box just now?" ”

"Na, did you see the happy restaurant opposite, I bought it at its house. This construction site needs to be strengthened, and there is no strength from oil and water. You still have to eat meat every once in a while, otherwise you won't have the strength to work. ”

"Why don't you eat in the store, it's so hot now, you can still blow a fan and drink free soup when you eat in the store."

"You two look like raw melons and eggs, and you haven't worked on the construction site." The uncle put the cigarette he had been playing with behind his ear, and then continued: "You know what the construction site is, as long as you work for an hour, the white clothes will turn black, the black clothes will turn white, and the ashes will fall down when you walk." If we go into the store to eat, only three or two, then the boss doesn't want to do other people's business. ”

As he spoke, the man suddenly smiled.

"Although we weren't allowed to sit and eat, the boss would compensate us with an extra box of white rice. If you sit on the side of the road and eat it, you can get a box of rice for nothing, and we won't lose it. ”

Looking at the man's smug smile and two sly smiles, Xu An was a little speechless. Most of the workers on this construction site are honest, hardworking and capable middle-aged people, they are all from poor areas, and they have left their hometowns to earn a little more money.

As for discrimination or something, they don't care at all. In their minds, a box of white rice is worth more than sitting in a store and blowing a fan.

"And how much does this meal cost?"

Hearing Xu An's inquiry, the man showed a somewhat painful look on his face.

"It's not cheap, as long as you bring meat, it costs eight yuan a piece."

After handing the man another cigarette, the two got up and left.

In one afternoon, the two of them ran to four or five construction sites, and some construction sites were directly not allowed to enter, and the workers did not care about people. Some of the workers at the construction site were very enthusiastic, and when they heard Xu An's question, they gathered around and talked about what they knew.

After some investigation, Xu An also has an understanding of the pricing of lunch boxes near the construction site. Eight yuan for one meat and one dish, only six yuan for two vegetarian dishes, and one yuan for large white rice can add a box.

If you want to make the workers tempted and buy lunch boxes from small stalls, one meat and one dish is fundamental, and it is best to have points that can make them tempted.

What can make the workers' hearts excited is naturally to have more dishes, enough rice, and it is best to have a soup to warm the stomach and comfort the heart.

The specifications of the lunch box are set like this, three dishes and one soup, and there must be a big meat dish in the three dishes! The price is tentatively set at eight yuan, with small profits and quick turnover.

No matter what construction site it is, the workers' demand for boxed lunches is not low, and as long as they can open up the situation, they are not afraid of not being able to make money.
