Xu An gave out his plan in full, and Uncle Dongliang nodded in agreement as he listened.

"You should be able to do that. The construction site where I work now is conservatively estimated to be five or six hundred people. In addition to the natives, there were two or three hundred workers from outside.

They don't like us who can go home at night and have a good supplement, they can only go to a nearby restaurant. As long as the boxed lunch you make can be more cost-effective than the restaurant and not unpalatable, then you have a problem. ”

After speaking, he immediately added: "If you want to do it, just go to my construction site to try?" When the time comes, Uncle will bring you a few people over, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sell them.

It's that if it's not delicious, you can change the place next time and don't come back. Otherwise, if they want to beat you up, Uncle won't be able to stop you.

Now there are about 20 construction sites in the city, large and small, and one construction site can be sold for a month a day. After all the construction sites have turned around, I will stop and wait for the university to start and go to college with peace of mind. ”

Uncle Dongliang's words made Xu An's stall business clear from the first day to the end. It's just to shoot a shot for a cannon, and leave quickly after the pit.

"But if you do a good job of boxing lunches, you can keep this construction site and sell them. Several nearby villages basically work at this construction site, and you honestly sell boxed lunches, and you can't stand being bullied. ”

"Uncle Dongliang, what time do you get off work tomorrow, go to my house for a meal after work, and see if I can change one shot for another or keep a place to sell."

Xu An is confident in his craft, but others don't know that Xu An's cooking is delicious. The situation of Xu An's family, everyone will not go to their house to eat if they are fine, and more often ask Xu An and them to go to their own house for dinner.

"Okay, it's noon tomorrow. It's too hot these days, so I leave work at 12 o'clock at noon, and I don't go to work until 3:30 in the afternoon, so I can just come back for a meal and take a nap. ”

After finalizing the time, Xu An said goodbye and returned to his home. Xu Kang and Xu Le slept peacefully in the bedroom, not realizing that his brother had run out at all.

Early the next morning, Xu An still got up at four o'clock in the morning to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden, after all, he promised the second uncle of Guoqiang yesterday to set up a stall today.

Everything is not ready yet, plus my sister-in-law is coming to the house today, no matter how fast she is, she will have to start a lunch business tomorrow, so she has to set up a stall honestly today to make more money.

There are not many dishes today, three catties of tomatoes, two catties of cabbage, two catties of eggplant and two catties of green peppers, three times five divided by two, sold out, a total of twenty-three yuan.

Compared with yesterday, today's income is almost half-folded.

Xu An planned to go to the wholesale market in the town to inquire about the wholesale price, so he asked the second uncle to help him bring the basket back, so he left the vegetable market.

The wholesale market is on the northeast side of the town and ranges from daily necessities such as pots and pans to edible items such as rice and vegetables.

Xu An took note of the wholesale prices and minimum purchase quantities of different food items as he walked.

For example, frozen chicken wings, wholesale from 10 catties, the wholesale price is 14 yuan a catty, and the price of frozen chicken wings on the market is 181 catties, which can save 4 yuan per catty.

Frozen chicken thighs are also wholesaled from ten catties, and the wholesale price is six yuan a catty. If you can wholesale fifty catties at a time, you can get another dollar cheaper.

Basically, the price in the wholesale market will be 2-5 yuan cheaper than that in the market, that is, the required amount is relatively large, and there is no refrigerator at home, which is too much and there is no place to put it.

Coming out of the wholesale market, as soon as he walked to the door, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears came over, leaned over to Xu An's side and asked in a whisper: "The boss is here to wholesale ingredients, I just saw that you were all eating and circling." The price in this wholesale market is still on the high side, I have cheaper ones, do you want to take a look? ”

Although this person looks honest, as soon as he opens his mouth, he gives people the feeling of being angry, not like he is doing serious things.

Xu An didn't talk, widened the distance from this person, and waved his hand to refuse.

Seeing this, the man was not annoyed, took out a flyer from his arms and stuffed it into Xu An's hand, and after giving Xu An a 'you know' look, he went to look for the next target.

After leaving the wholesale market more than 100 meters, Xu An spread out the flyer in his hand, which was a flyer from a small food processing company.

Frozen chicken wings start at five catties, ten yuan a catty; Frozen chicken thighs start from five catties, three pieces of one catty; Frozen pork starts at five catties, four pieces a catty.

More than 20 kinds of food were printed on the leaflets, and the price was four or five yuan per catty cheaper than the price in the wholesale market.

It's ridiculously cheap!

But this low price really attracted Xu An, if he bought the ingredients at this price, he could earn five yuan for a box lunch of eight yuan.

Let's take a look.

Xu An looked for the address on the flyer, not far from the wholesale market, and walked for about ten minutes.

The environment here is visibly worse than the wholesale market, with sewage flowing across the ground and discarded putrefined. As people move, flies continue to fly and fall, and maggots can be faintly seen in some corners.

In front of a bungalow, a whole row of faucets was set up, under which seven or eight people were washing the ingredients, and various unknown stains were floating on the water in the basin.

Xu An found a woman who looked the most honest and handed the flyer to her: "Is this Anxin Food Processing Company?" ”

The woman glanced up at Xu An, wiped her apron with oily hands, and took the leaflet: "I haven't been here before, I'll take you to see it." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but say something, and walked to the bungalow with Xu An.

Inside the bungalow, the red headlights are on, and many people are shuttling through the rows of shelves, picking out the ingredients they want.

The woman took out a form and a pencil from the wall and handed them to Xu An, pointing to an old man: "All the ingredients are here, you take this list, put a tick on it if you like that, write as many catties as you want, give it to the old man in a leather jacket, and he will pack you the corresponding amount of ingredients." ”

With that, the woman went out to continue her work, and Xu An walked to the shelf closest to the gate to check the ingredients.

This shelf is filled with pork, and at a glance, there are pork in all parts, as well as a lot of pig offal. The ingredients were packed in red plastic bags and stacked haphazardly on the shelves, with a lot of blood dripping down the shelves.

Under the red light, the ingredients look fresh. But the smell in the air told Xu An that the ingredients had begun to spoil.

At this time, someone filled out the list and handed it to the old man in the leather jacket, and the old man took the list and put on his military coat, opened the curtain behind him, opened a heavy door and walked in.

Xu An only then discovered that behind the old man in the leather jacket was actually a cold storage.

Walked behind a shelf near the person who had just picked up the goods, pretending to be looking for the goods he wanted, keeping in on with the movement over there.

Heavy footsteps came, and the old man walked out of the cold storage with a large basket of goods. Even in a military coat, it was still freezing and hissing.

The person who picked up the goods picked up two bags of ingredients and checked them, and suddenly shouted loudly: "This date is not right, didn't you say that it is only half a year overdue, and it has been expired for almost two years." Two years is not the price, you have to be cheaper. ”

"This is frozen in the cold storage, and there is no difference between half a year and two years. If you're not satisfied, you can go elsewhere, and you can't find a cheaper place in the city than mine. ”

"Boss, I'm not greedy, it's one dollar cheaper per catty."

"It's not for nothing that you want cheaper, you see those on the shelves that don't, a dollar and a pound, whatever you want."

"I'm your old customer, and I won't give this discount."

"At this price, we are doing charity, and we are making a lot of money. You look at how many workers there are, no matter how low they are, they can't even afford their wages. ”

"Okay, okay, bag me."

It turned out to be expired food, no wonder it was so cheap.

Xu An is not a person with a flooded heart, but he is not a person without a conscience, he is just an ordinary normal person, he has his own conscience.

Most of the workers working on the site were the same age as his parents, and if his parents were still alive, they would have been one of them.

Many of the people in the village who have helped their own family also work on the construction site, and Xu An can't afford to buy expired ingredients here and go back to make boxed lunches and sell them to them.

At this time, another person went to the old man to pick up the goods, and Xu An took this opportunity to leave here.

Black-hearted money is easy to earn, but I still have a conscience, and I can't earn this black-hearted money. I just don't know what kind of food the ingredients in it will eventually flow to that store, what kind of food will be made into and eaten by those people.

When he went back, Xu An entered from the north intersection of the village, and went to Xu Guosheng's house first, and then walked in the direction of his home.

Xu Kang and Xu Le squatted outside the courtyard gate, looking at the intersection in front of the house, and when they saw Xu An's figure, they immediately rushed over, and one of them hugged Xu An's calf.

"Brother, the old witch and the old demon king have come to our house."

"Yes, they also said that we were cute and gave us candy to eat, are they the abductors that my brother often said."

Old demon woman and old demon king, isn't this the monster they dreamed of in their dreams, how could they come to their own house.

Xu An looked into the courtyard, there were seven or eight people in the courtyard, and three of them were sitting with their backs to the courtyard gate.

He took off his left shoe, stepped barefoot on the wooden bench, rubbed one hand on his foot, and waved the other hand in the air.

There is only one sister-in-law in such a classic trio, and this is the sister-in-law's uncle and sister-in-law's mother-in-law who came to the door together.

Xu An walked into the courtyard gate with the two little people in his arms, shouted politely to the three of them, and found a corner to sit down.

Time is too long, Xu An only remembers that the three of them took Xu Kang and Xu Le away after an argument in the previous life, but I don't remember the specific details, and now it's time to relive it.

Xu Kang and Xu Le seemed to realize something, and after entering the courtyard door, he hid behind Xu An, poking out half of his hairy little head and looking at the three sisters-in-law.

Xu Le pulled Xu An's clothes, motioned for him to lower his head, and whispered to him: "The one with a wrinkled face is the old demon woman, and the tall and thin one is the old demon king." ”

Well, Xu An always thought that the old demon woman and the old demon king in the mouths of the two of them meant the sister-in-law and the little uncle, but he didn't expect it to be the little uncle and his mother.
