Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Scored a Big Order

The small restaurant was still bustling with activity, but with Old Song and his son on hand, Cheng Su was finally able to catch a break. Just before the lunch rush kicked off, Cheng Su received a large takeout order.

The order came from the same man in slacks and a white shirt who had previously inquired about delivery, a man by the name of Xie Zhihong. He was managing a construction site, and meals for the workers there were provided in bulk. Cheng Su’s fast food takeout was the perfect fit, so he placed an order to help save the workers the time of going out; it allowed them to rest instead.

Xie Zhihong’s order was for lunch boxes, two meats and one vegetable each, and he needed fifty of them. As for the vegetable, he left the choice up to Cheng Su’s delivery. Because it was a large quantity, it was best to avoid repeating dishes so the workers could have a variety of options, considering it’s difficult to cater to everyone’s tastes when dealing with many people.

Understanding Xie Zhihong’s requirements, Cheng Su responded, "In that case, how about we split the fifty portions into a ratio of two to two to one?"

After pondering for a moment, Xie Zhihong replied, "That works, what about the price?"

A box of this type would cost sixty cents if bought individually or eaten in the restaurant, but since Xie Zhihong was ordering fifty at once, Cheng Su offered a discount: fifty-five cents each, rice included. Considering that soup was difficult to transport, she decided not to include it. Since it was for workers, she could afford to add a bit more rice.

Xie Zhihong found the discount quite fair, especially given the gradually rising prices. With meat at twenty cents a serving and rice at a dime or two, he readily paid up.

Everyone was happy to land a big order, as it meant an increase in the restaurant’s revenue, and their year-end bonuses would be more substantial.

Xie Zhihong’s construction site wasn’t too far away; it only took a fifteen-minute bike ride. Since they hadn’t yet hired someone for deliveries and miscellaneous tasks, Cheng Su had Song Xiaojang take the order over.
