Chapter 14: The Little Helper for Soliciting Customers

"Come on, come on, let me introduce to the big guys, this is my brother Xu An. He is a good cook, and he came to our construction site today to sell boxed lunches for the benefit of us.

The lunch box costs eight yuan a piece, three dishes and one soup, and Tong Su is not bullied. ”

Uncle Dongliang didn't treat himself as an outsider, so he stood next to Xu An when he came over and helped greet him, as if he was the second boss in the stall.

As for Xu Heping, he took Xu Kang and Xu Le to the side. There are too many people, you have to watch the children, who knows if there are bad people mixed in.

The worker brought by Uncle Dongliang did not hesitate after reading the meal, picked up a box and handed it to Xu An.

Maybe Uncle Dongliang told them in advance, and all they handed over were eight yuan, and they didn't need to give change at all.

This wave of people did not leave after buying food, and found a shade in the east and west and squatted down to eat.

After they all finished buying, Uncle Dongliang picked up a box of lunch and handed Xu An eight yuan.

"Uncle, no, I invited you to eat at that time."

"Brothers settle accounts, and business belongs to business. If you come to an acquaintance, you won't be charged, and you can't do this business. Without saying anything, he stuffed the money into Xu An's hand, took the lunch box to the shade of the tree, squatted with other workers, and started eating.

Xu An sorted out the remaining lunches in the foam box, and there were only six boxes left, and Uncle Dongliang sold twenty-four lunches in this wave.

Xu Le bit his finger and looked sideways at Qiao Xingguo, who was standing next to the tricycle and hesitated, suddenly broke free of Xu Heping's hand, and ran in the direction of Qiao Xingguo in small steps.

"Uncle, are you hungry, do you want to eat?" Xu Le tugged at the corner of Qiao Xingguo's clothes: "My brother's cooking is super delicious, look at my belly, I am full." ”

Saying that, Xu Le also wanted to lift her clothes to show Qiao Xingguo her round belly, but Xu An, who reacted in time, was held down, and gave Xu Le a look of 'I will settle accounts with you later'.

Xu Le was immediately unconvinced, and argued loudly with Xu An: "My brother's cooking is super delicious!" ”

This shout was soft, not so much angry as coquettish.

The workers who had just bought a boxed lunch and were feasting on it laughed and gave a thumbs up to the two.

"Yes, the lunch box is delicious."

His words were recognized, and Xu Le was suddenly very proud, and he crossed his waist and tilted his head to look at Xu An with his nostrils.

Xu Kang was not to be outdone, and forced Xu Heping to run to the door of the construction site and shouted inside: "My brother is selling boxed lunches, super delicious boxed lunches." ”

At his shouting, several workers who were walking towards the construction site canteen turned their heads to look at this side, as if they were aroused, and after some discussion, they came this way.

Smelling the aroma of food in the air, looking at the big flickering eyes of the little girl next to him, he thought of his daughter in his hometown, who was about the same age as Xu Le.

Qiao Xingguo's right hand slowly raised and accurately picked up a boxed lunch.

"Uncle, a boxed lunch is eight yuan." Xu Le reminded at the right time.

Qiao Xingguo took out a piece of ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xu Le, and asked gently, "Uncle gave you ten yuan, how much money should you find your uncle?" ”

Xu Le took the money and handed it directly to Xu An, and replied very seriously: "Uncle, I haven't gone to school yet, so I don't know how to count." ”

This sentence amused the people around the dinner again.

A few people recruited by Xu Kang over there also walked to the door, looked at the people eating under the tree, and walked over to see what dishes were in the lunch.

The man didn't mind, and generously spread out the lunch box so that they could see it clearly.

Several people swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time when they saw the large piece of meatloaf in the lunchbox, the red-colored eggplant full of soup and the cabbage vermicelli with tempting oil, and rushed to the tricycle to reach out and pick up a boxed lunch.

In Xu Kang's milky solicitation, several groups of workers came and went, with as little as one and as many as two or three copies, and the remaining six were sold out.

Xu An packed up the tricycle and squatted under the shade of the tree with Xu Heping and the three of them, waiting for Uncle Liang's feedback.

Qiao Xingguo squatted back under the tree with the lunch box, and first opened the lunch box containing the rice, the rice inside was full and soft, and there was the unique aroma of the wood stove.

I poked the meatloaf with chopsticks, and the juice leached out of the cracks in the meatloaf, giving off the fragrance of pork.

Pick up an eggplant, and the thick soup slowly slides down the surface of the eggplant, and it is not dripping.

You don't need to take a closer look at the cabbage vermicelli at the end, it is very delicious and greasy at first glance, and it can also be satisfying.

For the first time, Qiao Xingguo felt that his wife had come so late and so slowly. I quickly put all the lids back on, and when I looked at it again, I couldn't help but eat it first.

Uncle Dongliang also worked on the construction site for several years and developed the habit of gobbling up. This lunch box has almost three catties of soup with vegetables and vegetables, and it is finished in three or two clicks, and finally the tomato and egg drop soup is finished in one bite, and I have a long burp.

This meal was so comfortable.

The few brothers around Uncle Dong Liang also moved in the same way as him, and they also straightened their necks and burped comfortably.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally had a decent meal. I used to eat all that to fill my stomach, and I couldn't call it food at all.

Although they are migrant workers, they still pack empty lunch boxes and throw them in the trash can with great quality.

Someone squatted beside Xu An, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out two and handed them to Xu An and Xu Heping.

"Ming'er is not here yet, as long as your food is still at this level and at this price, I will buy it when you see me."

"If you think it's delicious and still want to eat it, I'll come back tomorrow."

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's best to come every day, I can't stand that stuff in the cafeteria for a long time."

At the same time, there are also large groups of workers pouring out of the construction site.

Seeing the cardboard sign Xu An placed on the tricycle, his eyes lit up, and when he got closer, he was slightly disappointed to see only two empty foam boxes, and turned around and walked towards a row of restaurants across the road.

Qiao Guoxing's daughter-in-law is as strong as Qiao Guoxing, with a neat short haircut, and the whole person looks very heroic.

She walked out of the gate of the construction site, glanced left and right, saw Qiao Guoxing, strode to him, took off her helmet and sat down.

"I didn't see you in the cafeteria, I knew that you came out to open a small stove, and the lunch box I bought today had some dishes."

Qiao Guoxing looked at his daughter-in-law and smiled, and lined up the three lunch boxes in front of her.

"Meatloaf nest eggs, eggplant with meat foam, cabbage vermicelli, big white rice and tomato egg drop soup." As he spoke, he held the soup high above his head: "Look at this soup, it is full of tomatoes and egg drops, not like those brushed pot water." ”

Qiao Guoxing's daughter-in-law looked at the boxes of meals in front of her, and her face showed a look of pain.

"Today, the foreman will give you a salary increase or a bonus, how much does it cost to buy so much food?"

"Guess how much?"

"Look at this dish, it costs at least ten yuan."

"Then you're wrong, such a boxed lunch is only eight yuan. This is made by Xu Dongliang's younger brother in the work group next door, you see over there, Xu Dongliang has just finished eating. ”

Qiao Guoxing's daughter-in-law looked in the direction of Qiao Guoxing's finger, and had seen this person a few times on the construction site, but she didn't know what his name was.

"That shouldn't be wrong, if it's a trick, he won't dare to come out and recognize this younger brother. Otherwise, his brother would have run away, and his brother wouldn't have been able to run away from working at this construction site. ”

As he spoke, he tore open the chopsticks, took a large piece of meatloaf into his mouth, and served it with a mouthful of rice, and suddenly his eyes narrowed with comfort.

"Ah, that's what normal eating. The toppings of the noodles every day feel like feeding pigs. ”

Then the two of you will scrape the lunch box clean with one bite, and the two of them are still a little unsatisfied after eating.

"There are a lot of dishes, but there are fewer meals, so it would be nice to have more box lunches."

"Be content, think about the Jiajia fast food restaurant opposite, a chicken leg with some vegetables and a box of lunch, you dare to ask for eight yuan."

Uncle Dongliang stretched, walked to Xu An's side and patted him on the shoulder: "It's good, keep it up, Uncle will pull someone's head for you." ”

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Dongliang." Xu An took out a cigarette and handed it to Uncle Dongliang.

Uncle Dongliang took the cigarette and slapped Xu An on the back of the head: "When did you learn to smoke, who did you learn from, why don't you learn this?" ”

"Isn't this a business, how can you start a conversation without a pack of cigarettes?"

"Yes, you kid can."
