Mangoes!
Picked yesterday, two big sacks of mangoes.
Jiang Xu sorted out a portion of the ripe ones.
Off we go.
An Nuonuo sat at the back of the electric tricycle.
A small stool had been arranged for her.
She was wearing a face mask that covered most of her attractiveness.
Only a pair of clear and bright eyes could be seen.
They arrived at the first Internet cafe.
It was the same Internet cafe where they sold clothes last time.
The owner happened to be there.
Jiang Xu took out a boxed meal and walked in with An Nuonuo.
"Hello, boss."
"Oh, it's you."
The owner had a strong impression of Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu handed over the boxed meal with a cheerful smile, "Boss, I cooked this meal myself. Would you like to taste it?"
The boss was a bit puzzled about what Jiang Xu wanted to do.
But he opened the boxed meal anyway.
It was scrambled eggs with tomatoes and chili fried chicken.
The aroma was very strong.
After the boss took a bite, his eyes lit up, "Not bad, excellent cooking."
Jiang Xu's cooking skills were beyond question.
After all, he had been in the kitchen since the first year of middle school.
Only then did Jiang Xu clarify his intentions, "Boss, the main purpose of me coming here is to improve your customer flow and enhance your competitiveness."
"Oh?" The boss showed interest, "Go on."
"Boss, many of your customers leave to have lunch in the noon, right?"
"Yes, that's correct."
"Even if these people come back after finishing their meals, they waste at least an hour back and forth.
Keeping track of the time and the number of people, it's all money.
If at this time, there's a handsome guy who can provide food delivery service.
So that these people don't have to leave when it's mealtime.
Wouldn't you, boss, be able to earn more?"
Although the Internet cafe also sells beverages and snacks, they can't curb hunger.
It's not possible to eat them every day.
The boss's eyes lit up, indeed, that was a sound idea.
Why hadn't he thought of that before?
The boss gave a smack on his thigh.
And then gave a thumbs-up to Jiang Xu, "Are all the students this clever now?"
Jiang Xu cheerfully replied, "A fresh mind, recently out of the factory, is rather useful."
The boss immediately welcomed the idea of selling meals in his Internet cafe.
However, Jiang Xu did not start selling immediately.
He silently took out a contract and placed it in front of the boss.
"Boss, we should do things in a more regulated manner. Please sign this for me."
The content of the contract was simple.
Just that up until the end of the summer holidays,
Only he could sell food in this Internet cafe.
If any other retailers sold food here, they would have to compensate him.
This was also to prevent the Internet cafe owner from seeing the profit in this line and replacing Jiang Xu with himself.
In the future, he wouldn't care,
But for this summer vacation, only he could run the business in this area.
The Internet cafe owner was reluctant to sign.
Sign a contract for selling boxed meals?
So he launched into a persuasive speech,
Saying this wasn't the first place, they had already signed contracts with other Internet cafes.
If they didn't sign, they would lag behind others.
He even took out several contracts that had already been signed.
The Internet cafe owner immediately got anxious.
After reading the contract and making sure there were no problems,
He made one demand,
That Jiang Xu could only sell boxed meals to a maximum of two Internet cafes.
Any more, and he would lose his advantage.
Jiang Xu immediately agreed.
Jiang Xu was thinking to himself, he would sign two,
And let An Nuonuo sign two more, that would be enough.
This boss probably had no idea that this young lad was being so cunning at such a young age.
Once this was settled, they brought in the boxed meals and the mangoes.
Jiang Xu held a foam box and shouted loudly.
"Selling boxed meals. Affordable and delicious boxed meals for sale.
Only eight yuan per box.
Also, on our opening day, a large mango will be given as gift."
The shout drew some people's attention.
A customer, who was about to log off, became interested.
He asked, "What's available?"
Jiang Xu announced the menus.
He also opened a boxed meal for him to see.
The rich aroma instantly wafted through the air.
The ones he opened were all spicy.
The aroma spread very fast.
G This was Jiang Xu's deliberate ploy.
It was close to mealtime then.
The overpowering smell of spice was more likely to stir people's appetite.
"I want a chili chicken dish."
An eight-yuan meal wasn't particularly cheap.
However, with the addition of a mango that was as big as an adult's palm, it seemed quite cost-effective.
There was also a free soup.
"I want one too."
The aroma attracted many who were battling on the computer.
Jiang Xu glanced at them.
Basically, they were all playing Legend.
There were a few who looked well-off.
An Nuonuo took care of the money and handed out the mangoes on the side.
Twenty-two orders were sold at the first internet cafe.
Then the two of them went to the next one and repeated the process.
Two more contracts signed.
They easily sold the boxed meals.
In the end, Jiang Xu left two for himself and An Nuonuo to eat.
The two found an unoccupied corner and squatted there to eat.
An Nuonuo didn't act spoiled like most girls.
She was very happy while eating.
Despite making only a little more than ten yuan all morning.
But she was very happy.
Mainly because she could learn a lot from Jiang Xu.
This classmate always has some unconventional ideas.
She admired him a lot.
Jiang Xu finished his boxed meal.
He then said to An Nuonuo, "Our first day of selling wasn't very smooth, but tomorrow will be a lot better."
Since they were going to sing at the KTV in the afternoon, they would not sell in the afternoon.
Tomorrow he planned to find some regular suppliers at the vegetable market.
To lower the cost a bit.
Then, Jiang Xu gave thirteen yuan to An Nuonuo.
"Thank you." An Nuonuo happily accepted the money.
Jiang Xu glanced at An Nuonuo's feet.
The canvas shoes she was wearing were very old.
He said to her, "You should get a new pair of shoes. Come on, let's go shoe shopping."
"Okay."
"Hmm?" Jiang Xu was surprised, "You agreed just like that?"
He thought he needed to prepare a lot of thoughts.
An Nuonuo told the truth. "Dad said he has made over a hundred thousand recently.
Just yesterday, he gave me two thousand yuan as pocket money.
After I get busy tomorrow, would it be okay if I treat you to a meal?"
Jiang Xu laughed.
It seemed that An Nuonuo had finally seen better days.
Of course, Jiang Xu wouldn't pass up the opportunity to spend time with An Nuonuo.
"Okay, let's go then."
Jiang Xu rode the tricycle, taking An Nuonuo to Commercial Street.
Only a girl like An Nuonuo would not mind the strange looks of others and be willing to sit in the back of a tricycle.
If it was Zhou Qingyue, she probably would have slapped him by now.
On the way to Commercial Street, Jiang Xu went to the post office to pick up his paycheck.
Lin Nan contacted him yesterday. It was the manuscript fee for the first book.
Though he had gotten the money, he still needed to keep the document.
On the way, Jiang Xu suddenly thought of a joke.
"I have a question for you. How many years does it take to go through all twelve zodiac signs?"
"Huh?" An Nuonuo dumbly answered, "Isn't it twelve years?"
"Incorrect." Jiang Xu shook his head and hehe chuckled, "It takes thirteen and a half years.
Because it takes two and a half years to get through Rooster Year."
An Nuonuo: "???"
