The number of boxed lunches prepared the next day was still 60, but this time the distribution was 20 at the Bauhinia Garden construction site and 40 at the Haishi Library construction site.

This time, I met an acquaintance, the one I met when I inspected the construction site before, a simple man who squatted at the door and ate a chicken leg box lunch.

Xu An recognized him, and this honest man obviously remembered Xu An, and walked straight towards him.

"I knew that you kid didn't want to work on the construction site when he asked so much, the part-time worker didn't ask about the salary, but couldn't do without food." The man looked at the boxed lunch on Xu An's stall and quipped.

"Hey, hey." Xu An smirked, opened a boxed lunch and asked, "Eight yuan a piece, three dishes and one soup, do you want one." It's a lot better than the chicken thigh rice you've eaten before. ”

"Okay, let's have a copy, I'll see how your craftsmanship is."

Several co-workers who followed the man saw that the man had bought a boxed lunch, and they all stepped forward to pick up a boxed lunch to settle the bill.

As soon as the stall opened, four copies were sold, which is a good start, which is really good.

In a somewhat dilapidated house diagonally opposite the construction site, a tall young man walked out. The upper body is an ordinary white T-shirt, the lower body is wearing a pair of light blue denim trousers, and the refreshing short hair looks like an office worker.

This young man's name is Ding Nan, a college student who just graduated this year, and after graduation, he found an administrative job in Haishi and became a 9-to-5 office worker.

He quickly adapted to the pace of work, but there was something he couldn't get used to, and that was eating.

When he was studying, he basically ate in the school cafeteria, and three or four yuan could fill his stomach. Such a low price made him think that the highest price outside was only six or eight yuan.

But when he officially came out to work, Ding Nan found that the price of meals outside was not only six or eight yuan, but basically from ten yuan, and if he wanted to eat well, he had to pay twelve yuan.

Even if it's expensive, after all, you can't live without eating, but it's still unpalatable!

For example, today, he has been praised by his boss for his work, and he is happy in his heart, and he wants to eat a good meal to reward himself for his hard work.

After some selection, I chose a shop with a very Western-style decoration, the store looks clean and tidy, and the owner is also a chef at a glance, and I sat down and ordered a luxurious pork chop rice worth 12 yuan.

The luxurious pork chop rice served did not live up to Ding Nan's expectations.

The golden fried pork chops are cut into evenly sized pieces and spread on top of the crystal plump rice, and the rich black pepper juice gives the pork chops a new soul; The soft-boiled eggs are also just right-done, shaking 'DuangDuang' with the touch of a fork, and the two choy sums are verdant and add a touch of color to the meal.

Everything was so perfect.

Ding Nan happily forked a piece of pork chop and put it in his mouth, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon and he was about to enjoy this delicacy.

'Quack...... Chirping...... Babbling...... Ha! ’

The green tendons on his hands were coming out, the teeth were about to loosen, and the pork chop between the teeth did not move.

'Phew! ’

After another failed attempt, Ding Nan finally gave up on the pork chop and switched to the soft-boiled egg next to the chicken chop.

As soon as the fork went down, the egg slipped away. With a little more force, I watched as the intact soft-boiled egg turned into a mixture of egg whites, egg whites, and egg yolks.

Speechlessly, he stretched out his fork to the choy sum, which would be no problem.

One bite down, raw, choy sum is raw, raw!

Ding Nan put down the fork in his hand stupidly, he finally understood why this store looked attractive, but the store was empty.

Because the food here is all like that! You can only see it, you can't eat it!

The owner came out to open a restaurant because he had a mine at home, so as to spend his long boring time.

A luxurious meal of 12 yuan, the only thing you can eat in the end is a glass of lemonade. This glass of lemonade not only failed to fill Ding Nan, but the faint sour taste of the lemonade made him feel even hungrier.

This time, I'm going to find the most crowded restaurant!" ’

Walking out of the store, Ding Nan began a new round of searching.

As soon as Ding Nan walked among the group of workers, the red light turned into a green light. The group of workers walked across the street in unison, and Ding Nan was caught in the crowd like a little chicken and forced to walk across the street.

On the other side of the street, the group of workers dispersed, leaving only Ding Nan, who looked confused, standing in place.

Xu An saw Ding Nan who was confused, and greeted warmly: "Handsome guy, the boxed lunch of three dishes and one soup costs eight yuan a piece, do you want one?" ”

Eight dollars, three dishes and one soup?

Ding Nan leaned over curiously, wanting to see what these three dishes were. When he saw the box of glutinous rice meatballs at the top, he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.

'Eight dollars, only eight dollars, why don't you try it?' ’

The little devil in his heart made him eager to take out eight yuan to buy this boxed lunch.

But the remnants of his mind brought him to his senses at the last moment.

"Boss, you won't use gutter oil to fry this box of lunch, right?"

Xu An was amused when he heard it, and took out the bill he received when he bought oil yesterday and handed it to Ding Nan.

"This is the ticket I bought yesterday, if you still want to see it, I have kept all the receipts for the purchase of ingredients from the time I set up the stall to the present.

Gutter oil has a strong flavor and is used in dishes that are heavy on oil and salt. You see my glutinous rice meatballs look like a dish that can be cooked with gutter oil, right?

It's not so much to save that little oil, just change the oil for cooking. With this effort, I might as well make two more boxes of lunches. ”

Ding Nan wasn't sure whether the receipt was true or not, but he believed that a person with a mouth full of trains might have said such categorical words. Besides, the young man in front of him looked no more than twenty years old, younger than himself, and he should not have learned those profiteer behaviors.

decisively took out ten yuan and handed it to Xu An, and received a box lunch of three dishes and one soup and two pieces of one dollar.

Xu An This is a temporary stall, and there is no place to eat, so Ding Nan had to return to the company's workstation with a boxed lunch.

At the top of the lunch box is a bone broth with winter melon and barley, which contains two large pieces of winter melon, barley that can be spread all over the bottom of the box, and a small piece of meat.

Underneath the soup is a full box of glutinous rice and pearl balls, six fat meatballs wrapped in a layer of glutinous rice that is as smooth as jade, and topped with a few shallots.

It smells so good!

Suppressing the urge to eat immediately, Ding Nan opened the box under the glutinous rice and pearl balls. Half of it is fried eggplant in sauce, and the other half is homemade tofu, both of which are extremely delicious dishes.

At the bottom is a whole box full of boxed lunches, which is enough to eat two meals for yourself.

All the meals had been opened, and Ding Nan tore open the chopsticks and feasted on them.

Glutinous rice and pearl balls, delicious!

Fried eggplant in sauce, delicious!

Home-cooked tofu is still delicious!

Winter melon and barley bone broth is sweet, and I feel comfortable in my stomach when I drink it, it's super delicious!

After some gobbling up, there was still a lot of food left, but Ding Nan found that he was full and couldn't eat!

I've only eaten less than half of it, why am I full, damn it!

Looking at the rest of the meal, a thought suddenly popped into Ding Nan's mind, why don't you save it until you go home in the evening to eat?

That way, you don't have to worry about what to eat at night.

As soon as he said it, Ding Nan quickly packed the rest of the meal again and placed it in the corner of the workstation.

I also set an alarm clock on my mobile phone to remind myself to remember to bring back the boxed lunch after work.

The colleague sitting next to Ding Nan had been twitching his nose all afternoon.

'How did you smell the smell of glutinous rice and pearl balls, it's an illusion, it's definitely an illusion. But the smell is really clear, it's really weird. ’
