Chapter 256: Money Comes from the Sky While You Stay at Home

After the winter vacation began, the students of the Foreign Languages ​​University went home for vacation.

However, the business of the fast food restaurant across the street suddenly picked up.

Otherwise, how can we say that Jiang Tian is possessed by the God of Wealth in this life?

She originally opened this branch opposite the Foreign Languages ​​University in order to make money from college students.

Unexpectedly, just as the university was on vacation, Provincial Highway 336 was completely closed from Shuangfeng Town to the next township.

This section of road should be repaired next year. In order to speed up the construction period, the roadbed must be dug out during the winter when the road cannot be repaired.

As a result, all large and small vehicles traveling on Provincial Highway 336 must take a detour via the road in front of the Foreign Languages ​​University.

Jiang Tian: “…”

This is really like sitting at home and making money from the sky!

If there are benefits, how can I not think about my classmates?

It was winter vacation and everyone was at home instead of going to school.

Jiang Tian found the class monitor and asked him to help find a few people in the class to notify every student. Those who are willing to come to the store to work during the winter vacation and earn some pocket money can come to the store to work directly after receiving the notification.

Because of the road closure, this road is narrower than the previous old Provincial Highway 336. It happened to be the peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush, and there were traffic jams on this road almost every day.

Jiang Tian borrowed a dozen wheelbarrows from her uncle that were used to move bricks on construction sites. Every day, she packed the lunch boxes in the store, put them in a wooden insulated box, and asked her classmates to work in groups of two to push the boxes to the road to sell.

There are only two kinds of lunch boxes sold on the roadside.

One type is one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, which cost two yuan each. For each dish sold, the store would give them a commission of 1.5 cents.

One type is two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, which cost three yuan each. If you sell one, you can get a commission of 30 cents.

The lunch boxes sold on the street with a cart are a little more expensive than those in the store. Jiang Tian, ​​the little profiteer, has perfectly "borrowed" the practices of later food delivery platforms and directly imposed the "delivery fee" on the customers.

Calculated this way, the price of these lunch boxes is actually the same as those sold in the store, or even a little bit higher.

After all, the packaging fee must also be taken into account. This is what all food delivery platforms do in later generations!

As for the extra few cents, that is of course the delivery fee for the delivery man.

In this way, for lunch and dinner, as long as you are a little diligent and make a few more trips, you can earn at least ten dollars a day!

However, even if a meal costs two or three cents more, when you are stuck in traffic and cannot get out of the car to walk around, this kind of hot boxed lunch that can be delivered directly to under the car window is still very popular.

He Sanhua and Xu Ying have a good relationship in private and are from the same village. When they were divided into groups, the two of them claimed a "meal delivery truck".

Needless to say, He Sanhua, in order to share the tuition pressure with her parents, she wanted to run out to deliver meals in the morning.

Xu Ying's family conditions are slightly better than He's, but not much better.

Ever since her eldest brother got married, her sister-in-law disliked her and her second brother as a burden and kept asking for a division of the family property. Last year, she finally did so and even took away the only cow in the family.

It was originally agreed that the oxen belonged to the eldest brother's family, and that the two families would use them together when needed.

As a result, when the family was going to plow the land this year, my eldest sister-in-law plowed the few acres of her own land first, and then rented the ox to a relative from her mother's side!

Because my sister-in-law had taken other people's money, my parents couldn't say anything, and finally they could only borrow a cow from other families in the village.

A working ox is not cheap. After the family split up, she and her second brother were still in school, and her parents were the only ones working at home. Money was already insufficient, so how could they have extra money to buy a ox?

During the autumn harvest this year, Xu Ying heard from her parents that if they had no other options, they should sell all the wheat and rice they had harvested this year. No matter what, they had to buy a calf in the spring of next year.

Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

She and her second brother usually had to bring their own rice to cook when they ate at school. Their parents must have reserved this ration for them.

In other words, if her parents sold all the food at home, after she and her second brother went to school, her parents would probably only be able to eat whole grains such as pumpkin and sweet potato for every meal.

How can this be possible?

It’s okay if you eat it for one or two meals, but if you eat it every meal, a normal person will damage his health.

During the winter vacation, when Xu Ying heard that Jiang Tian’s fast food restaurant was still hiring, he immediately pulled his second brother over.

Now, she is in a group with Sanhua, and her second brother is in a group with another boy in the class. The brother and sister have only been selling lunch boxes for three days. When they returned home and counted the money, they almost jumped for joy.

Xu Ying earned 8.6 yuan on the first day, 11.5 yuan on the second day, and was lucky on the third day, so he actually earned 24 yuan. Adding up the three days, he actually earned 44.1 yuan!

Unexpectedly, her second brother Xu Liang actually earns more than her.

Xu Liang is an observant person. He found that after mealtime every day, there are often large trucks, long-distance buses and the like stuck on the road. These people may have bought lunch boxes somewhere else, but what if they didn’t?

In addition to boxed lunches, Jiang Tian’s fast food restaurant also sells rice dumplings from Grandma Hu’s factory.

Xu Liang told the store, and after mealtime every day, he would take some cooked rice dumplings from the store to sell.

You can only make five cents from selling one zongzi, but the quantity is huge. Xu Liang guessed correctly that there are some people who are lucky enough to buy two zongzi. They think that the lunch boxes sold on the street are too expensive, so they think that when there is no traffic jam on the road, the car will stop, find a small shop, buy two zongzi to eat, and save some money.

Unexpectedly, the whole way from Shuangfeng Town to the University of Foreign Languages ​​was jammed. Not to mention stopping to buy buns, there was no place to go to the toilet!

I couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly heard someone selling freshly cooked large rice dumplings on the roadside. They were a local specialty. I asked the price, hey! One dollar and fifty cents for two?

Look at the size again, this zongzi is not small. Two big ones can be a meal.

When people are hungry, their sense of smell and taste will be infinitely magnified.

At this time, in the eyes of these hungry passengers, Grandma Hu’s big meat dumplings looked even more tempting than the lunch boxes they didn’t want to buy at noon!

Isn't it just one dollar and fifty cents? Buy it!

In this way, Xu Liang sold boxed lunches at noon and at night. When he had free time, he and his partner pushed a cart back and forth to sell rice dumplings.

After a day's walking, the cotton shoes with thousand-layer soles on my feet have become slippery, but I have made a lot of money.

During these three days, Xu Liang earned 57 yuan from selling boxed lunches and 39.4 yuan from selling rice dumplings!

"Dad, Mom, don't sell all the food at home, we'll keep it for ourselves!"

"Yes! My second brother and I can definitely earn enough money to buy a working ox for our family!"

Xu Ying was so happy that she wanted to hug Jiang Tian and kiss her.

Jiang Tian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good!

The devil Xu Ying is busy making money to buy a cow for his family, so he should not have time to force her to memorize words, right?

She was so happy too early...
