Peng Kaiqun is the director of the company's purchasing department, he came to participate in the Haishi Machinery and Equipment Expo this time mainly to purchase new equipment for the company to replace the old equipment, his main task is to record the parameters and prices of the required equipment, and send it back to the company to decide which company to purchase from.

Before he came, he knew that the Haishi Convention and Exhibition Center did not provide any catering services, and the surrounding area was deserted and had no facilities. So, before setting off in the morning, he bought a breakfast set at McDonald's near the hotel, burger + cola, and took a piece to the Haishi Convention and Exhibition Center.

As soon as he got off the bus, he saw a standing sign at the door, which showed that a catering area was opened up in the east area on the first floor of the convention and exhibition center, and six well-known hotels in the city provided catering services, and exhibitors in need were welcome to go to the catering area to consume meals.

Peng Kaiqun glanced at it and left directly, not taking it to heart. He has participated in not a hundred but eighty exhibitions, and he has seen what the restaurants in the exhibition look like.

A bottle of mineral water costs five yuan a bottle for two yuan outside, and a fast food of 15 yuan outside costs 30 or even 40 yuan a piece inside. He touched the burger and coke in his bag, and ate a casual meal at noon, and then went to eat a good meal in the evening, so as not to spend money in the convention and exhibition center.

The time for serious work always flies very quickly, and it was 11:52 p.m. in the blink of an eye, and I saw many booth staff coming back one after another with a boxed lunch. Peng Kaiqun also felt a little hungry, so he found an empty seat in the rest area and sat down, took out the hamburger that had already been cold and the coke that was out of breath and no longer cold, and ate a bite of hamburger and coke.

Suddenly, a scent wafted from afar, through his nose and into the distance. The scent was so short that the people around him didn't even notice it, but it was caught by his sensitive nose. I saw that his nose twitched slightly, and his brain analyzed the information contained in the fragrance.

The first thing you feel is the aroma of white garlic being crushed and fried in a hot oil pan until it turns brown. This is followed by a rich and pungent spicy smell wrapped in a faint grass fragrance, and the numbness of rattan pepper is faintly felt in the spicyness; The final finish is the sweet and warm aroma of rice.

It's the smell of the meal!

Peng Kaiqun raised his head a little dazed and looked around, and at first glance, he saw that on the booth opposite him, two staff members were facing each other, and several boxes of hearty meals were placed in front of them. One glance at the food, and then at the hamburger that was cold in my hand, with soft bread, wilted vegetables, and sticky sauce, suddenly felt a little hard to swallow.

Eat as much as you like at noon, and then go to the hotel in the evening to eat delicious food.

After comforting himself for a few words, the hamburger that looked unappetizing was raised to his mouth again, Peng Kaiqun's mouth opened to the maximum, and when he wanted to solve the remaining hamburger in two bites, an extremely strong aroma of food suddenly erupted above the convention and exhibition center.

His overly sensitive nose allowed him to instantly catch what dishes these fragrances were coming from, garlic pork, mapo tofu, vermicelli cabbage, corn and carrot bone broth

Depend on! I really can't help it!

Peng Kaiqun stood up suddenly, stuffed half of the remaining hamburger and two-thirds of the glass of Coke in his hand directly into the trash can, followed the instructions posted on the ground, and strode towards the east side of the negative floor. When Peng Kaiqun arrived on the first floor, there was a bustling crowd everywhere he looked. There are those who plan to go to the dining area to eat like themselves, and there are those who buy good food from the dining area and go back.

As the flow of people advanced, Peng Kaiqun observed the people who had bought their food and walked back, most of them carrying a box lunch with the big 'Xu' character printed on a plastic bag. It seems that this shop with the word 'Xu' in its name is one of the most popular, so let's try this one for yourself.

The flow of people was moving fast, and Peng Kaiqun had already seen six stalls set up in the hall in front of him. The eye quickly scanned the six stalls, and finally landed on the only one of the six stalls with a door installed. Because of the crowd in front, Peng Kaiqun could only see the banner at the top of the door and the first four words of the couplet.

'Contracting company', 'Takeaway city', 'Interested in detailed talks'

Peng Kaiqun knows what takeaway is, and 'intentional detailed discussion' is even more straightforward, but what does 'contracting company' mean?

Driven by curiosity, he squeezed in front of the booth and finally saw the full contents of his face. It turned out that it could provide staff meals for major companies, and this advertisement was hit in the convention and exhibition center, and the owner of this hotel really did not miss any publicity opportunity!

When he was about to leave, he was looking for the stall with 'Xu' in its name, and the two people standing at the front of the stall took the lunch box and left, revealing the tablecloth covering the humble table, and the word 'Xu' was printed on the tablecloth! Got it!

Xu An thought that the five hundred boxed lunches had been packed, and the rest was just a job of collecting money and making change, so he took this job on himself. Let Wang Datou, an employee who is obviously a driver, but has been busy in the kitchen all morning, find a place to rest.

At more than eleven o'clock, there were not many people who came to buy a boxed lunch, and the two or three kittens dealt with it very easily, and Xu An even had the leisure to continue to draw flatbread for Wang Fulong next door.

But as time went on, more and more people came down the escalators and out of the elevators, and kept coming towards their six stalls. At the beginning, these exhibitors would compare the prices and dishes of the six lunch boxes before making a decision, but as there were more and more people, they basically bought which one was closer, and the booth of Xu's fast food restaurant happened to be the first one under the handrail, and for a while, Xu An was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

I just received a ten-dollar note here, and several people handed the money to me at the same time; As soon as he took the lunch box in his hand, more than a dozen hands reached out to him. Even so, Xu An still insisted on handing the flyer and business card to the guests when he was making change, and said with a smile: "Our store has a group purchase ordering business, and if you need it, you can contact me through the business card, as long as the company is in Haishi City, it can be delivered." ”

Peng Kaiqun, who came to buy a boxed lunch produced by Xu's fast food restaurant, naturally also received two yuan of change, a flyer and a business card. After taking the lunch box, I stuffed all the change, leaflets, and business cards into my trouser pocket, and went to the dining area to find an empty seat and prepare to eat.

Finally found an empty seat in the vast sea of people, and sat down one step ahead of others in a few steps, and when he sat down, he felt the residual warmth left by the previous person. But at this time, it is rare to have a chair to sit on, and I can't care so much. With both hands, he untied the plastic bag on the outside of the lunch box and took out the lunch box inside. The dishes are exactly the same as they smell, and there is no difference.

It looks pretty good, too! Pulled off the chopsticks and pulled twice to start eating, and the two people at the next table had already finished eating and were chatting. Because the distance between the tables was quite close, the content of their conversation entered Peng Kaiqun's ears word for word.

"Do you know what this Xu's fast food restaurant is all about?"

"What's the origin, listening to the name of this store, it should be a relatively famous large fast-food chain restaurant in the market? However, the taste and the price are really good, and it is normal to be able to make the business bigger. ”

"Hahaha, then you're wrong." The man on the other side asked with a mysterious smile on his face, "How long do you guess this store has been established?" ”

"It's going to be years, right?" There was some uncertainty in the man's tone.

"No, no, no, this Xu's fast food restaurant has been open for less than three months now!" The man stretched out his right hand and made a 'three' gesture to emphasize this fact.

"I can't." The man lowered his voice a little and asked, "Does the owner of this Xu fast food restaurant have any background?" ”

"That's wrong again, this boss is poor and white, and it took a lot of effort to open the store."

These words went around and around, and the person who didn't know the truth was directly confused, urging his companion to say something straight and not to play dumb riddles. Under the repeated urging of his companions, this person finally told all the information he knew about Xu's fast food restaurant.

"This Xu's fast food restaurant, at the beginning, it was just a box lunch stall opened at the entrance of the construction site to develop a take-out delivery service, providing staff meals to many companies, and there were three or four hundred companies serving. In the end, the other five hotels with long qualifications and reputation in the city won the food label of the expo and served meals to the exhibitors. You will take a closer look to see if the boxed lunches eaten by those exhibitors are all produced by this Xu's fast food restaurant. ”

After this man finished speaking, he was still a little unsatisfied, but the history of Xu's fast food restaurant was too short, and he couldn't find a suitable point no matter how much he wanted to chatter, so he had to give up.

"How do you know so much about this Xu's fast food restaurant?" The person on the other side asked the question that Peng Kaiqun also wanted to ask.

"Hey, hey." The man smiled a little embarrassedly: "Most of them were seen on TV, and the local station of Haishi filmed a documentary "Visiting Fast Food Restaurants", and this Xu's fast food restaurant was one of the ones that was assaulted, and it also won the 'excellent' evaluation!" ”

"Brother, do you know the procedure for this Xu's fast food restaurant to supply staff meals to the company?" One of the people sitting behind the two suddenly turned around and asked, "Our company plans to re-select a hotel that serves employee meals."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice interjected into the conversation between the two, Peng Kaiqun looked up at the person who spoke, and found that the people sitting at several tables around him all turned to look at the two chatting in unison. It turns out that I'm not the only one who is interested in this Xu's fast food restaurant, everyone is eavesdropping!

"I don't know about that." The person chatting paused for a moment and suggested, "Didn't you give flyers and business cards when you first got change, you can contact the boss directly and ask." ”

Flyers and business cards?

Peng Kaiqun reached into his trouser pocket with his right hand and took out a few pieces of paper, two pieces of one dollar, a palm-sized business card, and an A5-sized flyer. At the bottom of the flyer, it is written - staff meals, team meals, please contact 138xxxxxxxx

Staff meals.

Peng Kaiqun's company includes lunch, but their company does not have a canteen that belongs to the company, and cooperates with outside hotel fast food restaurants to serve lunch. The restaurant that has been serving food to the company recently seems to be called 'Ippinxiang fast food restaurant', right? Peng Kaiqun looked down at the food on the table, and compared it to the lunch provided by the Yipinxiang fast food restaurant in his mind.

Well. Compared with the Yipinxiang fast food restaurant, the latter was directly KO!

His eyes fell on the flyer again, and when he saw the dishes of the next few days, Peng Kaiqun suddenly had an impulse. If the output of Xu's fast food restaurant is stable these days, why not push this fast food restaurant to the administrative department and see if they can contact Xu's fast food restaurant to serve staff meals? If you don't succeed, you won't lose anything, but if you do, then you can live a life of big fish and meat every day!

A group of people slowly gathered at the next table, and they were also discussing the matter of serving staff meals at Xu's fast food restaurant, and they all seemed to be a little moved by this.

Xu's fast food restaurant stall, Xu An.

As more and more people came to buy boxed lunches, Xu An couldn't cope with it alone, so he found a gap and called Wang Datou and asked him to come to help. Within two minutes of hanging up the phone, Wang Datou came to Xu An's side through thousands of mountains and rivers and fought side by side with him. In the end, it took nearly two hours to finally sell out all the boxed lunches, and the two of them could finally sit down and rest for a while.

Although the lunch box has been sold out, people keep coming to ask if there are any box lunches for sale, which makes Xu An have to take out a signature pen and write a big word 'sold out' and place it on the stall, so that it finally calms down.

It seems a bit too much for two people to be in charge of the sales of 500 boxed lunches, and it takes at least three people to get busy. But there are only two seats in the insulated dining car, how can one more person come over and stuff the car?

Xu An shook his head, shaking this bold, unreliable and unrealistic idea out of his mind. Forget it, there are only four days left, and I will get through it with Wang Datou. Xu An patted Wang Datou's shoulder and said loudly: "Master Wang, I have to trouble you to help sell boxed lunches at this stall in the next four days." It's not an easy job, so you'll be paid three times as much for these five days. ”

"Thank you boss!" Wang Datou didn't twist his head, and answered directly, and his eyes smiled into a slit. This boss is good, and he will be paid as much work as he does! Fortunately, I promised Guosheng to come to work!

Xu An's voice was not small, even in this noisy hall, the voice clearly reached the ears of Wang Fulong's master and apprentice, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, their eyes full of surprise. Can you get extra money for working for your own company during normal working hours? This is unheard of!

They were full of doubts about this, but the customers who came to buy the lunch box kept coming, and they didn't have time to think deeply, and smiled at the guests into a new wave of busyness.

Xu's fast food restaurant.

At two o'clock, there were only two or three customers left in the store who were chatting with fans, and everyone was free, packing up their things and getting ready to get off work. Suddenly, a slender figure appeared outside the store, looking at the environment of Xu's fast food restaurant with a curious face.

"I'm sorry, but all the meals prepared for today have been sold out." Xu Heping happened to come from the No. 2 store, and saw the girl standing in front of the store, and hurriedly informed her of the news that the food in the store was sold out.

"I'm not here to eat." The girl shook her head and looked at Xu Heping curiously: "Are you the owner of Xu's fast food restaurant?" ”

"No, what's the matter with your boss?" Xu Heping also looked at the girl when he heard this, exuding a strong atmosphere of office workers, seeing that his age was not the same age as himself, not a classmate or anything like that. The relatives of Anzi's family also knew each other, and the person in front of him was not among the relatives. So what is the reason why this man came to Anzi? Xu Heping's heart was full of alarm bells.

"I'm a new employee recruited by my boss, in charge of publicity planning, and I'm here to report today. I messaged my boss but none of them got back to me. The girl said generously.

Well. Yasuko didn't tell herself about this!
