After the homestead purchase and sale and compensation procedures are completed, the next step is to build the house.

Uncle Hu’s construction company suddenly became very popular.

There is no way. Nowadays, country people are still accustomed to hiring a few workers to build their own houses, and then find a master craftsman who knows how to build houses. Anyway, it is at most two floors, which is not a big project.

But this time it's different.

Especially after the opening of Hu Qiongfang's "Haosheng Hotel", with a reference, these wealthy bosses along Provincial Highway 336 were no longer willing to build houses as shabby as before.

Moreover, as Hu Qiongfang said, after the provincial road is widened this time, judging from the width, it may not need to be demolished or widened again for at least 20 to 30 years.

In other words, the storefronts and houses they are building now will have to be lived in for at least another 20 to 30 years.

That's a big project.

In the entire Shuangfeng Town, the only "professional-level" construction company is Hu Jianguo's. Who else should we turn to if not him?

After the Chinese New Year, Hu Jianguo listened to his niece and recruited a large number of construction workers locally in advance, including some young workers who had just graduated from high school and had not found a job yet.

But even so, it is impossible to satisfy everyone's requirements.

I also saw that this industry could make money, and I wanted to follow Hu Jianguo's example and open a construction company.

But here comes the problem: all the experienced workers, plumbers, bricklayers, and even brick-moving workers in the area dozens of miles around were all taken away by Hu Jianguo in advance.

Even if they wanted to open a construction company, they couldn't recruit enough construction workers at once!

Uncle Hu was so happy that when he went to the city to do some business, he bought his niece a pair of heavy gold bracelets so that she could keep them as a dowry.

Jiang Tian chuckled and accepted the pair of large gold bracelets weighing two hundred grams in total without hesitation.

Well, my uncle only told her to use them as a dowry. If she really can't get married, my uncle can't take the gold bracelets back, right? Hehe~

After the Chinese New Year, both sides of Provincial Highway 336 became bustling again.

Some people came to build roads and plant trees, some were digging foundations and building houses nearby, and there were also trucks and tractors coming and going to transport things. The roads that had not been completely repaired were filled with dust every day.

Even though the environment was so bad, it did not stop Jiang Tian from taking the opportunity to make money.

After the Chinese New Year, the Foreign Languages ​​University also started the new semester. As expected, I found that the fast food restaurant opposite the school was booming last year. As soon as the semester started this year, many food stalls popped up opposite the Foreign Languages ​​University like mushrooms after a rain.

Some sell boxed lunches, some sell steamed buns, and some sell flower rolls, as well as various fried fruits, pancakes, fried rice and fried noodles.

No matter how good Fangjie's lunch boxes taste, it's easy to get tired of them if you eat them every day. Moreover, these stalls are right opposite the school. College students have more free time than high school students. At noon and in the evening after school, many people who don't like to eat in the cafeteria will stroll out to the "snack street" opposite the school to find food.

The fast food restaurant's business is not as booming as it was last year, and the employees in the store are getting very anxious.

Jiang Tian asked them to be patient.

"Don't worry, I've got a big order for you. Wait a couple of days. By then, only half of the staff will be left in the store. The rest, follow me over there to provide support."

Two days later, Jiang Tian indeed arranged a "big order" for them -

In order to prevent others from intercepting her branch's business, Jiang Tian led her team and quietly lurked in the section of the provincial road before the road closure.

This is where the provincial highway is most congested, especially during rush hour, when traffic jams often extend for hundreds of meters.

There is no way, the main road is closed. All cars that want to pass from Provincial Highway 336 must turn here and detour from other places. After passing the closed area, they can go back to Provincial Highway 336.

Jiang Tian had been eyeing this place last year, but by then the peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush had passed, the roads were not so congested, and business certainly wasn't so good.

After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Tian just received a sum of New Year's money. Hu Qiongfang knew that she was prudent with her money and never asked to keep it for her. Jiang Tian immediately used the money to build a few large plastic sheds at the bend of the provincial road. She used white paint to write a few simple and crude words on the outside:

Boxed lunch, hot water, buns, and pancakes.

There was a small shed next to it, with two huge words written on three sides as if afraid that others would not see it:

Public toilet!

When stuck in traffic, I can still hold back my hunger and thirst.

But as the saying goes, “people have three urgent needs”, who can hold back urination and defecation?

This temporary public toilet that suddenly appeared on the roadside soon became the busiest place in the vicinity.

Jiang Tian built a temporary public toilet here, not just to make a few cents per trip.

A car full of people stopped to use the toilet, just like the highway service areas in later generations. After finally stopping to rest, it is impossible for them to just use the toilet.

I'm craving for cigarettes, so I have to go in and buy a pack of cigarettes, right?

When adults and children are hungry, they should buy a lunch box or some pancakes, right?

Less than a month after opening, this place has become the busiest place on the Shuangfeng Town section of Provincial Highway 336.

Jiang Tian also brought all the classmates who used to deliver takeout at the branch store here.

During the rush hour every day, this group of "delivery men" work in groups of two, pushing small carts loaded with boxed lunches, rice dumplings, buns, herbal tea, etc., going upstream and selling their goods at every car window.

Fortunately, the long-distance buses of this era were not the fully enclosed ones with air conditioning like those in later generations, and the windows could be pushed open.

If a customer wants to buy something, he or she just opens the window, tells him or her what he or she wants, and hands over the money. The delivery man will then immediately hand over the item to the customer. This is much faster than ordering takeout by scanning a QR code on high-speed trains in later generations.

Passengers passing by were very satisfied with this mobile fast food restaurant that suddenly appeared.

Jiang Tian is also very satisfied with the speed at which he makes money.

Let those guys across from the Foreign Languages ​​University who are trying to steal her business regret it!

Do you really think I will just sit there and wait for death, and engage in a price war with you guys in my small piece of land at the Foreign Languages ​​University?

I'm sorry, I moved to a new location, and not only did I not lower the price, I even raised it.

The food is delivered directly to the car window, which is of course not a free service. Otherwise, how can she support so many "food delivery boys"?

This year's prices have risen significantly compared to the whole year, but fortunately, people's wages are also rising. Everything has increased in price, and of course, boxed lunches have also increased in price.

Now the price of a lunch box with two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes at a fast food restaurant has risen to five yuan per dish, and a lunch box with one meat dish and three vegetable dishes costs three yuan.

The price of the big rice dumplings produced by my grandma’s factory has also increased. The original retail price was 80 cents, but now it is 1.2 yuan.

For the above items, the delivery man will add two or three cents for each one when it delivers to your car window.

Don't want to spend the money? You can also stop by the store and buy it.

Boss Xiao Jiang welcomes you warmly with both hands and feet!

After all, girls who have been shopping know that if you order takeout at home, you will only spend a few dollars on delivery fees at most.

But if you want to save a few dollars and ask a few girlfriends to go to the store to buy it, it is completely unpredictable how much money you will end up spending.

Originally, you just wanted to have a cup of milk tea, but after meeting, you might go straight to the hot pot restaurant with the milk tea.

After coming out, I saw a nail salon across the street. Hmm? My nails were a little faded, so I went in to get a new one!

After coming out, I bought a new dress and some random snacks. I came home with a lot of bags and lay down on the sofa. Thinking back to everything that happened that night, I couldn't help but start to doubt my life...

No! When I went out, I just wanted to buy a cup of milk tea!

Looking at the payment information in my phone again, tears of sadness finally rolled down my face.

Well, after walking around all night, I had already digested the hotpot I ate. I was so hungry that I didn’t even have the energy to cry.

So, should I continue to make a late-night snack appointment and go out for a feast, or should I spend a few more dollars on the delivery fee and just order takeout?

Similar psychological changes have been realized time and again in passengers who get off the bus and eat in restaurants in order to save money!

Damn~ Who would have thought that a small roadside shop selling boxed lunches actually has a local specialty shop hidden inside?

Now that we are here, some people who eat quickly have finished their meals, while others in the car are still chewing on ribs. I can only walk around the store and look around by myself.

He came in empty-handed.

When they went out, they carried large and small bags of local specialties in their hands.
