Chapter Thirty-Eight: Whew!
At twelve :02, Ding Nan and Luo Min arrived in front of Xu An's lunch stall on time.
After buying the boxed lunch, the two of them did not leave immediately, but stood in place, you look at me, I look at you, looking like they want to say something.
Xu An obviously couldn't ignore their obvious move, and asked the two directly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Ding Nan and Luo Min glanced at each other again, and finally Luo Min spoke.
"Boss, it's getting hotter and hotter these days, we wonder if you can provide door-to-door delivery service here?" Luo Min was afraid that Xu An would refuse, so he hurriedly pointed to the three-story building across the street and said, "Our company is opposite, less than a hundred meters away, very close." ”
Xu An looked at the fine beads of sweat on the foreheads of the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Although the two copies are not much, the advantage is that the two are close. In addition, it is an old customer, and this requirement is not unsatisfied.
When the other office workers next to the two saw Xu An agree, they began to gesture and ask if they could also send it to them.
This sudden enthusiasm made Xu An a little confused, and finally determined that within a radius of 300 meters, at least two copies could be ordered before they could be delivered.
Those who had only come on their own seemed a little disappointed, but the two or three of them who had come together were visibly overjoyed.
Starting tomorrow, you can sit in the office and blow the air conditioner, waiting for the boss to deliver the box lunch!
When Xu An registered the number of boxed lunches, addresses and times, the army of students of Haishi Navigation Academy had already arrived at the entrance of Snack Street.
The moment they saw Xu An's lunch stall, they ran towards this side like a bull in the Colosseum saw a red flag.
The momentum was so great that even the stalls on the side who had seen their movements yesterday were astonishing.
The office workers who couldn't see this battle yesterday moved to the side one after another, away from the scene, for fear that the boss's blood would splash them.
After yesterday's posture, Xu An and Liang Dani were not only very calm today, but also counted with great interest how many students came.
More than 50 people came today, 1.5 times more than yesterday.
It's a pity that there are only thirty-two lunches left on Xu An's stall, and some people are doomed to not be able to buy boxed lunches from the beginning.
In just two minutes, thirty-two lunches were sold out, and the rest of the people had to go home empty-handed.
After the students dispersed, the office workers on the side were relieved to see that there was no blood splashing in the five steps, and returned to the stall to continue to register the relevant information.
Lao Han, who was at the forefront of the students, was a little curious about what they were doing, so he walked behind a few people and looked around.
"Aisha Clothing Company, two boxed lunches, delivered at 11:50, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Sixteen pieces in total."
"Is this going to be paid first? Can I wait for the lunch box to be delivered before checkout? ”
Ding Nan and Luo Min were a little hesitant, although eight yuan was not much, but if the boss ran away, it would also make the two of them feel distressed.
"I've been here for more than a week, and I'll continue to do business here for a long time in the future." Xu An knew what they were worried about, and opened his mouth to explain, but this explanation was a little pale and weak.
"It's not that we don't believe you, but you're a little three-wheeler, and we won't have a place to find it when the time comes. But if you have a store or something, it's not unacceptable to say that we can make a reservation. Ding Nan struggled for a while and said this.
The office workers next to him have agreed.
"Yes, yes, although this money is not much, it is still easy to be annoyed if you lose money for no reason."
"Isn't it the same for us to check out after this door-to-door delivery, the difference is not big, and the boss should not think about it anymore."
Xu An was also helpless when he saw this, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart.
"In this case, I won't collect the money first, and then I will collect the money when the lunch box is delivered. However, I need to charge a delivery fee of five cents for this door-to-door delivery, if you can accept it, it will be delivered to the door, if you can't, you can continue to come here to buy a boxed lunch, how about it? ”
As soon as they heard that there was a delivery fee, some people turned back.
But people like Ding Nan and Luo Min, who are afraid of heat, are still acceptable for the delivery fee of five cents, and nod happily.
Xu An registered a series of specific information such as the names, numbers and company addresses of the two in the notebook.
After Ding Nan and Luo Min left, the two office workers quickly squeezed over and quickly said their information.
Two office workers collided with each other, and in the end, one of them could only take a step back and choose a time point ten minutes late.
It's better to have lunch later than to go out and buy a boxed lunch in the scorching heat.
Lao Han looked at it for a while before he realized what Xu An was doing.
That's a great idea!
You only need to increase the delivery fee by five cents, and you don't need to walk nearly two kilometers to buy this boxed lunch in the scorching heat.
After the office workers finished registering, Lao Han came over with a smile.
"Boss, can the Haishi Navigation Academy send it, if you can, we can immediately count the number of people for you."
Xu An thought about it, the Navigation Academy is more than 900 meters away from here, and it is almost two kilometers back and forth, plus the time of waiting for the handover, this trip will take twenty minutes, which is too long.
Thinking of this, Xu An decisively shook his head and refused: "Now it's just a trial stage, and for the time being, only orders within a radius of 300 meters will be delivered, and your school is out of range." ”
"Boss, although our school is far away, it is at least thirty years to start, isn't it?" The last sentence was addressed to the other students, and the other students also said yes when they heard it.
Lao Han looked at Xu An's tangled appearance, and then thought about the orders of the office workers just now, and instantly understood what Xu An was struggling with.
"That's it, boss, you're only responsible for sending them to the school gate. Let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and I will handle the rest of the things, and you can go back after collecting the money, which can't delay any time, do you think it can be done? ”
It's all said and done, and if you continue to dwell on it, it will be hypocritical, Xu An finally made a decision, do it!
Lao Han didn't procrastinate, and counted the number of people directly on the spot, but counted the number of people who wanted to order a boxed lunch in five minutes.
There are 42 copies in total, and they can be delivered before 12:15.
After seeing the students leave, Xu An and Liang Dani began to clean up the stalls.
Students alone account for one-third of the production, and after deducting the number of orders from office workers, the remaining number of lunch boxes is obviously not enough to meet the needs of workers, unless the production of box lunches can be increased.
Xu An found that the matter of increasing production capacity was imminent, unless he was willing to guard this one-third of an acre.
If you want to increase production capacity, you have to add equipment and manpower, so that the small yard and small kitchen at home cannot meet your needs, and you have to change the venue.
If you want to change the venue, why not consider renting a storefront?
With a storefront, if you pre-sell, others will not worry that you are a small vendor and may run away at any time.
With a façade, you can apply for a business license, which can be regarded as a regular self-employed person.
With a façade, you can also expand your sales scope.
Now one of the leaders in the food delivery industry, 'Eat Enough', has just begun to expand, and no matter how soon it is, it will only expand to the sea market next year.
With their own façade, they can eat their first bite of meat before they expand into the sea market.
......
Xu An's thoughts drifted farther and farther away.
This is the second day that Kodaka is in charge of store procurement, and as always, he goes to Anxin Food Co., Ltd. to pick up the goods.
But what has changed today is that all the rotten meats on the shelves outside yesterday have been cleaned up and replaced with some meat that is just a little spoiled.
Xiao Gao stood in front of the shelves at this time and observed the meat, and he had a little thought in his heart.
The meat still looks quite fresh, and there is nothing unusual about the appearance at all, except that the color is slightly dull and whitish.
You can smell a little bit of the smell when you smell it closely, and if you put a lot of seasoning on it when you cook it, you may be able to suppress it.
Why don't you buy a piece and try it back?
Xiao Gao picked out a piece of pork about a pound from the shelf and checked out with the other goods.
When checking out, the old man in the leather jacket glanced at Xiao Gao several times.
"The meat on the shelves outside can only be used to feed cats and dogs, not to people, you know."
"I know, there are a lot of stray cats near where I live, and I see that this meat is cheap, and I plan to cook it for them."
The old man nodded after hearing this, settled the payment for him, and reminded again: "What we are doing is a long-term business, we are all conscientious people, and those who eat bad people will not sell them for others to eat." ”
Xiao Gao said yes again and again, but he was scolding in his heart.
Old stuff!
What a good person to buy expired food!
Phew!
