Chapter 331: The mission failed, Xu Damao showed up
The next day, after Yan Jiecheng got off work, he took some leftovers from the restaurant. He took a few more items and put them in lunch boxes. He carried them all the way to Nanluoguxiang again and went straight to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard.
"Uncle, I just got off work!"
Yan Jiecheng came to Liu Haizhong with a smile and handed his lunch box over directly.
"We just happened to have some ingredients left over today. It would be a waste to leave them alone, and they might go bad tomorrow. So I asked the kitchen to make a big stew. Uncle, if you don't mind, you can have it as dinner!"
Although Yan Jiecheng's family is rather stingy.
However, these days, even the leftovers from restaurants are a rare treat for ordinary people.
After all, most people eat ordinary food on a daily basis, and meat is considered a rare good meal!
This situation still exists even at the beginning of the 21st century.
"Hey, this is a good feeling!"
When Liu Haizhong heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up. He took the lunch box without hesitation and said directly to his wife in the room,
"Wife, please help them and free up the lunch box."
As he spoke, Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Jiecheng enthusiastically.
"Solved, how about we have a couple of drinks later?"
In the past, even a plate of scrambled eggs could be eaten as a side dish by Liu Haizhong.
The leftovers that Yan Jiecheng sent today were enough for him to have a delicious meal. Of course, the food was sent by Yan Jiecheng, so he naturally had to express his appreciation.
"No, I have something else to do."
Yan Jiecheng waved his hands quickly, looking at Liu Haizhong and said,
"Uncle, we have been neighbors for many years. I will just get straight to the point."
Yan Jie Cheng Dao,
"I just want to expand my restaurant's business recently. I want to make a few carts and have people push them to other places to sell goods to increase sales. I was thinking, you are an old employee of the steel mill, there are a lot of waste materials there every day. Can you make use of the waste and help me make a few more carts?"
As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng gave a thumbs up and praised Liu Haizhong.
"Uncle, you were also an eighth-level worker back then. I trust your skills! Let me make a deal. If you can help me get this done, I will definitely deliver any extra food from my restaurant in the future to you. What do you think?"
If you run a restaurant, naturally you can't avoid leftovers.
In the past six months, Yan Jiecheng and his wife usually took the food home to eat themselves, and never gave it to their biological parents.
But it's different now.
It’s just leftovers anyway. If Liu Haizhong can help him get it done, it won’t be a loss to send him a couple of meals occasionally.
It doesn't matter who you give it to.
"Hey, so this is it."
Liu Haizhong suddenly realized.
I was wondering just now, the Yan family father and son have always been stingy, why did they send so much food today? I guess they were waiting for me here.
Having worked in a steel rolling mill for his entire life, Liu Haizhong naturally knew everything about the situation in the factory.
To be honest, he wanted to refuse, but since he had already accepted the food and Yan Jiecheng kept praising him, Liu Haizhong really couldn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Liu Haizhong blinked and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, the steel mill produces a lot of waste every day, and many people in the factory even secretly sell the scrap iron, making a lot of money. Is it okay to use some useless waste to make a few carts for Yan Jiecheng?
Although he is retired, Liu Haizhong still has many connections and technical skills in the steel rolling mill.
In just three days, Liu Haizhong helped Yan Jiecheng make five carts.
If we weren't worried about setting too high a goal and causing unnecessary trouble, we could do more.
“Hey, this is good quality!”
That night, Yan Jiecheng, who received the news, rushed to the back door of the steel mill with his wife Yu Li.
When they looked at the cart pushed out by Liu Haizhong, they couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
After all, he is an old worker with solid craftsmanship. Although it is made of scrap iron, it is well-organized and neat, and very suitable for them to sell meals.
"Thank you, Third Uncle."
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were overjoyed and prepared to push the carts back.
There are small pulleys under the car, which is very convenient.
The couple even thought about buying one set each for their parents when they got home. As for their sister-in-law Yu Haitang, Yu Li got angry when she mentioned it.
She originally wanted to mobilize her sister to help her promote food sales, but she never expected that her sister would go to He Daqing's small restaurant to help out after get off work.
She is obviously your own sister, but she is so disrespectful. How angry are you?
However, even if Yu Haitang doesn't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it. Old Yan has several brothers and sisters. If it really doesn't work, she can also mobilize her parents.
As long as you can increase the sales of food, why would you worry about not making money?
"stop!"
However, at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly came from the front.
But they saw a figure blocking their way, shining a flashlight at them.
"What are you doing, the guys..."
The figure was cursing as he walked towards them. When he got closer, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Hey, isn't this Yan Jiecheng, and Third Uncle... why are you here too?"
"Xu Damao?"
Seeing the person coming, Yan Jiecheng and his wife couldn't help but frown. They didn't expect to meet Xu Damao, such a scoundrel, at the back door of the steel mill in the middle of the night.
“Wow, so many carts?”
Xu Damao's gaze quickly shifted to the cart in the hands of the couple. He looked it up and down, looked at Liu Haizhong, then at Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, and immediately understood.
"You asked Uncle San to make this for you. In fact, nine times out of ten, it was made with materials and machines from the factory, right?"
Xu Damao's eyes were sharp, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Yan Jiecheng, Third Uncle, you are reselling and stealing public assets. This is a crime, do you understand?"
"What? Crime?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng and his wife became depressed.
Yan Jiecheng quickly said in a flattering tone,
"Not at all, Damao. We've been neighbors for many years. Just pretend you didn't see anything, okay?"
As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Damao's pocket, smiling and saying,
"How about this, Damao, from now on whenever you come to our restaurant, I'll give you a 20% discount, how about that?"
The two have been friends since childhood, and Yan Jiecheng is very familiar with Xu Damao.
Although this guy cannot defeat Sha Zhu, he is very vicious. If he offends this guy, he will have a hard time in the future.
Yan Jiecheng never expected that, although he originally wanted to take advantage of Liu Haizhong to gain some small benefits, he would encounter the plague god Xu Damao before he even started his business.
"Brother, it's not that I'm not fair."
Xu Damao touched the cigarette in his pocket and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, but the look he gave Yan Jiecheng was particularly sincere.
"But you are committing a crime. If I knew about it and didn't report it, I would also be making a mistake."
The implication of his words is very clear: the benefits you, Yan Jiecheng, gave us are not enough.
