Chapter 6 Hello, your takeaway

March 3, 1999, February 16 of the lunar calendar, morning.

The uncontrollable sunlight came through the cracks in the window, causing the fur on my face to itch.

Han Qiao wrote in his diary: "Wuhu, take off!"

Today is the first step in Brother Han’s mold career, but Han Qiao is confident that he will become bigger and stronger.

First set a small goal and seize the two chess and card rooms at Jinhua Railway Station.

After Han Qiao cheered himself up, he quickly started to prepare for the opening of the dumpling shop.

I don’t know if I don’t do this, and it will be quite troublesome once I do it.

first,

Boss Han opened the door. It was still dark outside, and people who were rushing to catch the train looked in a hurry while holding their suitcases.

I took a look at the stove and saw that the briquettes left last night were almost extinguished. I quickly moved them to the small stove, added new briquettes, and moved them to the door of the store to start a fire.

Nowadays, there is no natural gas as convenient as in later generations. Gas tanks do exist, but the cost is too high, so coal is often used.

Han Qiao glanced at the stove. With more oxygen, the flames in the stove grew stronger.

After preparing the stove, Han Qiao took out the meat and vegetables bought at the evening market last night and prepared to make meat fillings.

The weather in March is not too hot yet, so meat and vegetables can be cooked overnight. This is a strenuous task.

Holding two sharp kitchen knives in his hands and humming "Huo Yuanjia" in his mouth, Boss Han started chopping.

………………

At 7:30 in the morning, the uncle and aunt appeared at the door of the dumpling shop carrying small lunch boxes.

At this time, Han Qiao had prepared the meat filling and rolled out the dumpling wrappers. On the stove, the water in the big pot was steaming.

"Xiao Han, thank you for your hard work." The aunt took a look at the store's preparations for business, nodded with satisfaction, and pulled Han Qiao to sit down. Looking at the glistening beads of sweat on Han Qiao's forehead, she felt a little distressed:

"You kid, you've said it so many times, just wait until we come and do these things together."

"It's okay, aunt, I woke up early and exercised."

"What a good boy. Come, here is the old hen soup your uncle specially made for you yesterday to supplement your nutrition."

The aunt opened the lunch box and saw crisp green green onions floating on the chicken soup.

"You're just too thin, kid. You're still growing, so you need to eat more." The aunt said earnestly. After observing her for a while, she really regarded Han Qiao as a junior.

After all, both his parents are dead, he is sensible and has some talents.

The character pierced the heart of the old lady.

Han Qiao was not polite, picked up the lunch box and drank it in one gulp. Not to mention, it tasted really good.

………………

The business hours in the morning passed quietly in the busyness.

At noon, Han Qiao became the chef at the front desk, cooking dumplings while looking outside.

Today is the first time to deliver food. To be honest, Han Qiao is a little nervous. This is like an old girl entering the bridal chamber for the first time.

At 11:30, outside the store, a bare-headed child trotted into the dumpling shop.

The child was fussing and shaking the white paper in his hand: "Who is Han Qiao? Is Han Qiao here? I'm looking for Han Qiao."

Han Qiao was washing dishes in the sink when he saw the child and recognized it as the child of the owner of the chess and card room. He went up to him and touched the child's head: "Didn't we just meet him yesterday, but we don't recognize him today?"

I really felt sorry for this kid. I probably read these three sentences all the way through.

Han Qiao took the white paper from the child's hand, which recorded the information of the people who ordered the food. He counted them and found that there were sixteen people, of course they were all dumplings.

Han Qiao had already prepared it. He threw the dumplings into the pot, the white dumpling skins rolled, and shouted to the uncle: "Uncle, do you have a take-out box? Take sixteen."

After hearing this, the uncle stopped kneading the dough in his hands and looked puzzled. However, this was a big deal. He quickly asked: "What is a take-out box?"

Han Qiao was stunned. This was a common problem when it was dark under the lamp. After explaining it, he was surprised to find that in this era, there are no special take-out boxes at all. There are lunch boxes, but the ones for soup and water are not practical.

Han Qiao had no choice but to put a plastic bag on the bowl, pack it up and pack it away.

After sixteen portions of dumplings were cooked, Han Qiao found a bucket, put them in one by one, counted sixteen more bowls, and prepared to send them to the chess and card room.

Before going out, I asked my aunt to prepare some more dumplings, but the order form for the other chess and card room had not been sent yet.

………………

The chess and card room is not far from the snack street. It only takes six or seven minutes to walk out of the back door.

Han Qiao jogged all the way, and the time was shortened to four minutes.

When we arrived at the chess and card room, the boss was already waiting at the door.

The owner of the chess and card room is a middle-aged woman named Xie, who is quite aggressive. When she saw Han Qiao, she shouted: "Brother Han, run faster."

Han Qiao quickened his pace and followed Sister Xie into the chess and card room.

The chess and card room is a house with four rooms and one living room, with twelve mahjong tables and eight card tables.

The room was filled with smoke and smoke, and the clatter of mahjong could be heard one after another.

At present, the most popular ones are Mahjong and Solitaire, and most of the later games have not yet appeared.

Han Qiao followed Sister Xie and walked up to a bald strong man carrying a bucket.

"Wang Laopi, your dumplings have arrived." Sister Xie shrugged at Han Qiao.

Han Qiao took out a piece of dumplings, put it in a bowl, handed it to the bald man, and said solemnly: "Hello, Ele.me's takeout, your takeout has arrived."

The bald man looked at it and reached out to take it. "It smells good. How much does it cost?"

"Eighty cents for the dumplings and 30 cents for the errands, a total of one yuan a piece."

"Take it! No need to look for it."

Boss Wang was busy playing at the card table, absent-mindedly, and generously handed over the money. He held the bowl in one hand and polished the mahjong patterns with the other hand, showing the demeanor of a god of gambling.

After Han Qiao handed out sixteen takeaways, he stood at the door and counted the money in his hand.

Sixteen dumplings cost a total of 17.6 yuan, and the toll to Hanqiao is 4.8 yuan. Don’t underestimate these few dollars. In a month, just a trip to the chess and card room at noon costs 144 yuan. In Canada, the toll is 144 yuan.

Last night and the delivery volume of another chess and card room.

Oh, that's a small five hundred a month. You know, the average salary of BJ's working class now is only a little over three hundred.

"Xiao Han, you have a good idea. Some people have ordered food before, but no one has ever proposed this method." Sister Xie looked at the handsome young man in front of her with hot eyes.

The guy in front of me is not only handsome, but also has a good brain. Before, when it was lunch time, the chess and card room was half empty, and many people went out and never came back. Now we have this method, which not only retains people, but also attracts more people.

an income.

Han Qiao's appearance is a serious Chinese aesthetic, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a shaved face, thin lips, and most importantly, temperament, with a calm and happy posture. This is also standard for reborn people, and everyone knows that in the next few decades

The trend can make you feel calm and happy.

"Brother Han, has anyone said that you look a lot like Louis Koo?" Sister Xie took Han Qiao and handed it over to share the dividends. She didn't put the money in front of her.

In 1995, Louis Koo starred in the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which became popular all over the country and became the dream of many girls and teenagers.

Remembering that a sister came to Hanqiao's door and called her enthusiastically, Sister Xie was also happy.

After all, women are also lustful!

Han Qiao blushed and made Sister Xie laugh for a while.

The chess and card room smelled of dumplings, and it was noon again. After waiting for a while, Han Qiao had eighteen more people ordering food. Thirty cents was not a lot, but he could still afford it. Business was booming for a while.
