Chapter 35 Taking more than a dozen orders at once
Because no one wanted to go out and ordered takeout, all of a sudden, at noon, some good restaurants were packed with orders.
Shiweitian Fast Food Restaurant is a well-known local fast food restaurant in Jin City.
The food is fresh, the portions are sufficient, and the price is not expensive.
The 15 yuan box lunch, with 3 meats, 2 vegetables and a soup, is the choice of many people for lunch and dinner.
Even on a hot day at noon, when the store has no air conditioning and only fans, the dine-in restaurant is still full of people.
"You have a new takeout order, please check it carefully."
"You have a new takeout order..."
"..."
The announcement of takeout orders has been ringing continuously since 11 o'clock, and an order comes almost every minute or two.
Sometimes several orders come in at once, and the announcements are non-stop.
Zhao Feng and his wife are constantly busy, packing lunch boxes, and from time to time they have to go to the kitchen to ask for more food, and they also have to clean up the tables left by the guests who have finished eating. Sometimes they don’t even have time to collect the money, and they all rely on the guests. They pay voluntarily.
"Brother Zhao, orders for the 25th and 28th." A rider entered the store and hurriedly took away the two orders.
"Hey, Xiao Qi, why don't you take the order for the 26th too, so that you can get more money." Zhao Feng stopped him and asked.
The rider Xiao Qi showed a sunburned face, even his lips were so dry, and smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhao, I really can't give away so much. The weather is going crazy with the heat. I They all suspected that I was about to be cooked.”
"If I didn't have to pay off the mortgage, or if I didn't go out and drink a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, I really wouldn't dare to go out."
"In order to make more money, I don't even have time to drink water."< br>
“Today’s weather, the temperature outside is over 40 degrees, higher than yesterday. I heard He said that two riders were delivering food at noon and collapsed from heatstroke. One of them could not be saved. "
" Making money is important, but so is life. "
" I plan to take a break after delivering these two orders at noon, and then deliver them later in the afternoon.”
After saying that, Xiao Qi left without further delay.
Zhao Feng felt a headache as he looked at the scattered almost missing riders and the pile of takeout orders.
He added money for delivery to the riders, but still no riders were willing to take the order.
Zhao Feng sighed with a sad face, "Is it possible that if you don't accept so many orders, you can't earn so much money, so you can only return them?"
"How about I deliver them?" Zhao Feng's The wife suggested.
"No." Zhao Feng decisively rejected his wife's proposal. "You are pregnant. Although it is in the early stages, you must pay attention. Moreover, in this hot weather, even if I go out to deliver it myself, I can't let you deliver it."
However, he has no way to deliver it. The store currently relies on him.
Looking at the dozen or so orders he had received on his phone, Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and planned to cancel.
Just when Zhao Feng was about to cancel these orders, the order page suddenly changed.
“Hey, finally a rider took the order!”
"Really, let me take a look?" Zhao Feng's wife Li Meiyun also came over to take a look.
If a rider takes the order, the order does not need to be returned.
Although a certain group will get a commission when they go to the order-taking platform, small profits but quick turnover are still earned.
These days, the economic situation is getting worse and worse. Earn more if you can.
"The rider's name is Chai Jianguo. This name is very similar to the name of my grandfather." Normally Zhao Feng would not look at the rider's name, but it was rare for him to look at it today.
Just when he pulled down more than a dozen orders, he discovered——
“Why were all the more than ten orders taken by this rider named Chai Jianguo?!”
“They were taken at the same time. There are more than a dozen orders, can you deliver them?" Li Meiyun looked over and found that it was true.
"Hello, comrade." Just when Zhao Feng and his wife were surprised, a male voice suddenly sounded, with a thick native accent.
As these words fell, the two also discovered that the originally stuffy store seemed to be a little cooler.
Is it an illusion?
How are you, comrade? Did the police come to their store?
Zhao Feng looked up and saw where the police were. Standing in front of him, the person who had just spoken was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties and was dressed like a beggar.
No, even today’s beggars are better dressed than him.
He looks over 1.7 meters tall, but his body is as thin as a stick of firewood.
Seeing Zhao Feng looking at him, Chai Jianguo subconsciously smiled.
"Dad, it smells delicious, and there's meat~" At this time, Zhao Feng heard a soft, waxy and childish voice coming from behind the man.
Zhao Feng and his wife took a closer look and saw that the man was carrying a large backpack on his back, and in the backpack was a little girl who looked like two or three years old.
The little girl was timid, like a little rabbit with yellow hair. She looked malnourished, very thin, and very timid.
Zhao Feng and his wife, who had become parents a long time ago, couldn't help but feel pity for them.
The little girl’s eyes fell on the pot of pot vegetables placed by Zhao Feng and his wife, and she couldn’t take her eyes off it.
Chai Jianguo looked in the direction of his daughter and took a breath.
There are so many dishes, so rich!
There are vegetables, braised pork, chicken, fish, and pork knuckles that look soft and delicious...
Chai Jianguo thought, even in the big pot rice era, there weren't such rich dishes.
Every household, even the village chief’s house, cannot have so many vegetables and meat during the New Year.
Seeing so much food, as a father and daughter who were starved to death, how could they remain unmoved.
But Chai Jianguo knew that this food belonged to someone else.
So he looked away with difficulty.
"Are you hungry and want to eat? Let me pack some for you." When Li Meiyun saw their clothes, she thought they were beggars who came in to beg for food, and their eyes were shining when they looked at the food. This was How many days have you been hungry?
They have encountered beggars before. They will not chase them away, but will give them a meal, which can be regarded as a way to accumulate virtue for the unborn child.
Li Meiyun hurriedly packed a full lunch box, took out another box, put some of each dish, and covered it with a fish on top, which was almost impossible to cover.
Two packed lunch boxes were thrust into Chai Jianguo's hands, "Come, eat."
Chai Jianguo did not expect that as soon as he came in, someone wanted to treat him to something. , he just saw everything in those two boxes.
One box is full of rice, and one box is full of vegetables and meat.
What did Chai Jianguo eat before? It's the black steamed bun that always irritates the throat, and the wild vegetable porridge that's so thin that you can count the grains of rice...
Let alone rice, even fine grains are rarely available, let alone meat.
But now, as soon as they met, they gave him these two boxes of expensive food.
Chai Jianguo suddenly felt that there are really too many good people in modern society.
But...
“No, no, no, I can’t take it.”
“I’m here to work.”
“My name is Chai Jianguo, rider, here to deliver Takeaway!" Chai Jianguo hurriedly held up his cell phone to explain.
“What, you are Chai Jianguo, the rider who just took over a dozen orders?!” Zhao Feng exclaimed.
