Chapter 204 Opening the door to business is blocked
March has entered in the blink of an eye, and Feng Yanhong's small shop has obtained its business license and is ready, just waiting for the day of opening.
Feng Yanhong hadn't thought of any good projects before, so she decided to make box lunches and fried noodles as before.
Although her shop is small, she also hired people.
Aunt Gao's daughter, Jiang Yuxin, is seventeen years old and has never gone to high school. Her family's financial situation is really not enough to send her to a technical secondary school. She has been unemployed at home since she graduated from junior high school last year.
When she was entertaining guests before, Jiang Yuxin came to help. He didn't talk much and was very agile. He was her favorite type. When she thought of recruiting people, she was the first person she thought of.
As soon as the firecrackers were hung and the red cloth was lifted, Feng Yanhong's snack bar was opened.
The two worked hard to prepare the ingredients all morning, but at noon they really slapped her in the face.
Feng Yanhong expected that the business would not be very good, and she did not prepare many things, but when it was time for dinner, there was no one at all, which she never thought about.
If there are no people at noon, it is even less likely that there will be more people in the afternoon.
Feng Yanhong stood in front of the door and shouted for a long time before selling ten box lunches, and no one cared about the fried noodles.
This made Feng Yanhong even more confused. Why?
If you want to know why, of course you have to ask among the customer groups.
Feng Yanhong put down her apron, said hello to Jiang Yuxin, and headed towards the office building opposite.
There are many companies in this building that deal with trade and foreign trade. She had asked before that there was no canteen here.
People were coming and going in the building during off-duty hours, and the security guard didn't stop Feng Yanhong. The old-fashioned elevator went up one floor at a time, and Feng Yanhong's heart started to lift.
She went up to the highest floor, and then took the stairs to the ground floor. There was no one on the top two floors, and there were even some people sleeping guarding the door.
Going down to the third floor, Feng Yanhong finally saw a pretty girl in formal attire.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?"
At this moment, Feng Yanhong seemed to be experiencing a long drought, and she suddenly rushed to the table at the front desk.
She said with a smile: "No, girl, have you eaten?"
"Ah?" The little girl looked at Feng Yanhong dumbfounded.
"Oh, I run a snack bar. I just opened it today. I would like to ask if your company has any need to order food."
The girl's face suddenly changed unpredictably, her eyes were a little embarrassed, and the surprise just now disappeared.
"Our company has food reservations, so it's useless for you to ask me about this."
Although the lunch boxes ordered by the boss of their company were terrible to eat, as a receptionist, she could only dare to be angry but not speak out.
Feng Yanhong suddenly realized that this was the case. No wonder when it was meal time, no employees here went to eat. It turned out that although there was no canteen here, they all ordered meals collectively.
"Then who is in charge of ordering food in your company? Can I meet him?"
The little girl took a look inside, turned her head and shook her head at Feng Yanhong.
"Why don't you go somewhere else and ask."
If she let her in, she would definitely be scolded again. She didn't have the courage.
Seeing her embarrassment, Feng Yanhong didn't beg again. After thanking her, she went to a small company nearby.
"Did you bring a lunch box? We haven't eaten yet."
Feng Yanhong was overjoyed, "I didn't bring it here, but my store is just across the road, so you can go there to eat at any time."
"Forget it then, I'm still busy. I don't have time to go out to eat." The man with glasses lowered his head and ignored her.
Feng Yanhong looked at the other two people, who didn't speak and were busy with their own business.
"Just three copies? Why don't you wait a little longer, and I'll get it right away and bring it to you."
"Um."
Fortunately, she had prepared a disposable lunch box. Although it was a bit expensive, the price was included in the lunch box, so it was acceptable.
The box lunches sold in Yincheng are all vegetarian for 50 cents and include meat for 80 cents. The lunch boxes here in Beijing are generally all vegetarian for 70 cents and include a piece of meat.
Otherwise, how can I say that most people here rarely go out to restaurants?
The prices are really expensive. She doesn't plan to do anything special. She just sticks to the normal prices and she can't go wrong.
Feng Yanhong brought a few more boxes at once this time. If she met someone who was interested, she could at least give them a taste.
"Who can settle the bill?"
When Feng Yanhong saw the three of them, she got the box lunch and ate it voraciously. After waiting for a while, she spoke.
"Checkout? Isn't this a sample? What's the check?" The man wearing black-rimmed glasses looked at Feng Yanhong with confusion on his face.
"Who told you this is a sample? Besides, are there three copies of the sample?"
Depend on!
Is there anyone else who eats Overlord Meal like this?
"It's not a sample? Then take it back!"
Feng Yanhong opened her mouth and looked at the half-eaten lunch box. The anger in her heart was instantly suppressed.
This is not Yincheng. She has just arrived and she has to make a living by this. There are many potential customers for her in this building. She can't be impulsive!
Don't be impulsive! Don't cause trouble!
The clenched fists slowly relaxed.
"No need!" If you take it back, you don't have to throw it away, just treat it like a beggar.
She has memorized the faces of these three people. If you don’t pay, don’t even think about eating at her place again!
Feng Yanhong angrily gritted her back molars and walked out the door. As soon as she got down the stairs, the man with glasses couldn't help but praise her.
"Not to mention, the food is really good."
"Brother, isn't it too immoral for us to do this?"
"If I can get food money, why am I like this? Don't we have to survive? We can't starve to death before the payment is received."
"Eat quickly. When you're done, you can go and ask for the bill. Once the bill is paid, it won't be too late to give her food money."
The three of them murmured a few words and had a delicious meal.
Feng Yanhong continued to go downstairs, running from one company to another, chatting with people while she was away. After a while, she found out that there were three lunch boxes in this office building, and they basically took care of one meal at the company every day.
After some of them tasted it, they thought it was pretty good, but they never gave her an accurate answer and only said that they would discuss it with the boss.
Feng Yanhong walked out of the elevator with some frustration and was stopped by two security guards.
"We can't sell packed lunches here. Don't come here after you're done, you know."
The two security guards were about thirty years old, and their accents were not local. They were dressed neatly in work clothes, but the old cloth shoes on their feet revealed that their living conditions were not good.
"I'm not selling lunch boxes, I'm here to deliver meals to customers. Big brothers, I still have two lunch boxes here. I won't take them back, so I'll leave them with you."
Feng Yanhong smiled and put the two boxes of food in her bag on the table in front of the door.
"This...how is this so embarrassing?" The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. I made two more portions and I can't sell them back. I can't waste food. I just think that the two elder brothers have helped me."
As Feng Yanhong spoke, she quickly opened the lunch box. At the same time, Feng Yanhong heard the sound of them swallowing saliva.
"Then I'll leave. Thank you two brothers."
"Hey! Don't leave yet."
The two stopped Feng Yanhong, looked at her mysteriously, and waited for her to come closer before whispering:
"Someone reported you, so our leader asked us to block you. Please be more careful next time and go out through the back door when you leave."
