Chapter 283 Concept of an Exquisite Takeaway Box

Chen Jianhai strolled into the kitchen leisurely. 

In the clean and bright kitchen, he saw Xu Bo wearing a white chef's uniform and a tall hat, with a slightly bent back, carefully inspecting the dishes.

"Qiao Ni!"

Chen Jianhai happily ran over, only to be nudged aside by Xu Bo's hip.

"Get out, don't let the dust get on the dishes."

"Oh."

Chen Jianhai obediently stood aside, waiting until Xu Bo had carefully inspected each dish. Only then did the kitchen staff start placing the dishes on the serving cart to be sent out.

"You're back!"

Xu Bo turned around, habitually wanting to punch Chen Jianhai in the chest. 

But halfway through the punch, noticing the flour on his hand, Xu Bo withdrew his hand, a happy expression on his face.

"How was your time on the island? I read the comic, the hotel on the island is very beautiful."

"Ugh! Don't mention it!"

Chen Jianhai rolled his eyes, feeling his whole body tingle and get goosebumps at the thought of his wealthy second-generation persona and the silent dedication of his character.

Deep affection my ass!

I'm the most badass in the heavens and earth!

If I like someone, I'll go for it, if not, I'll move on!

Why would I hang myself on one tree?

That's not dashing at all!

"Are you done?"

"Even if you're not, don't do it anymore. Xiaolang bought a few cans of eight-treasure porridge, let's go out and celebrate Laba Festival," Chen Jianhai said with a smile.

Xu Bo was stunned, "The hotel has eight-treasure porridge, why buy canned ones?"

"We didn't know you made porridge, we bought them already, let's go!"

As he spoke, Chen Jianhai pushed Xu Bo out,

"But it's not time for me to get off work!" Xu Bo said anxiously.

"Come on, let's go!"

Chen Jianhai forcefully pushed Xu Bo out of the kitchen, "The boss is giving you a day off today!"

...

While Xu Bo was taking a shower and changing clothes, Chen Jianhai was standing at the door of the small red house.

Over the past few months,

The small red house had expanded a bit compared to before, the house was clean and bright, and the tiled floor was so shiny it reflected light.

Even the trash can at the door was wiped clean,

It didn't look like over a hundred people had been there every day.

Three sanitation workers were sitting under the air conditioner, each eating watermelon and drinking eight-treasure porridge.

After finishing the watermelon, one sanitation worker took out a small alcohol spray bottle and sprayed the table,

Another took out a small cloth and carefully wiped the table, making sure there was no watermelon juice on it.

The remaining worker cleaned up the watermelon rinds, put them in a trash bag,

Only after cleaning the house did the three leave.

As they passed the door,

The three sanitation workers smiled at Chen Jianhai,

They didn't know who Chen Jianhai was, they thought he was just a hotel employee who had just gotten off work, and one of them, who was honest and straightforward, said "thank you" to him as he passed by.

Chen Jianhai felt warm inside and said,

"Thank you, you all work hard."

Taking out his phone,

Chen Jianhai opened the group chat "One Happy Family on the Island,"

He had set this group to do not disturb mode,

Not for any other reason,

Simply because the chat frequency in this group was too scary.

Sometimes within a few minutes, there would be hundreds of messages,

All sorts of trivial matters on the island were discussed in the group,

There were even many chat disruptions,

Even private messages about kids not doing well in exams and husbands comforting their wives not to get angry and not to hit the kids,

If one carefully dug, it would be a massive urban ethical life drama.

And now, in this massive urban ethical life drama, there was a message tagging him.

"Is there something in the group chat for me?"

Chen Jianhai curiously opened the group chat,

Only to see a message from Jian Kui saying:

"Guess what, we thought your employees are all working at the hotel and can't go home for Laba Festival, so everyone at home made extra porridge to send to your hotel."

"Who would have thought halfway there, we ran into your hotel also launching a big pot to share porridge with us."

"What a coincidence!"

The next message was a photo,

In the photo,

A group of islanders and several hotel employees were standing in front of the hotel, happily taking a group photo, with a huge porridge pot in front.

"Is this porridge made by the employees at the small island restaurant?"

Chen Jianhai gratefully looked at Xu Bo behind him and asked.

Xu Bo looked at Chen Jianhai with disdain,

"I heard Bai Cheng and the others say you get along well with the people on the island,"

"Making porridge doesn't cost much, it's great for everyone to have fun together."

Chen Jianhai looked at Xu Bo's handsome face with tears in his eyes,

Look!

A real brother indeed!

From winter solstice noodles to Laba porridge,

Every single thing hit his heart.

"Da Bo, can I have dumplings with chive filling for the Spring Festival?" Chen Jianhai asked longingly.

"Sure." Xu Bo nodded. "I can also make celery filling for you."

"Da Bo, you're the best~~"

"Scram!"

...

"Pop!"

"Pop!"

"Pop!"

Three crisp sounds rang out,

Chen Jianhai, Xiaolang, and Xu Bo each held a can of eight-treasure porridge, walking leisurely on Nanjiang Coastal Road,

"I went to see the beer-themed tent today, it's awesome!"

"Those long barbecue tables and chairs, each table can seat 20 people, and the tent can accommodate at least 3,000 people."

"I heard each beer tent has three rounds of welcoming guests, with each round lasting four hours."

"By that calculation,"

"If I do well at this beer festival, I can get a new car next month!"

Xiaolang said excitedly while stuffing eight-treasure porridge into his mouth.

Xiaolang's beer tent was located at the shopping center on the thriving avenue of Nanjiang City, the most bustling area of Nanjiang City.

Right next to major shopping malls, cinemas, and office buildings,

Only a street away from the subway,

A prime location.

Unlike Chen Jianhai, as soon as Xiaolang knew about the Nanjiang Beer Festival, he found people and secured a good spot for his barbecue stall in the shopping center's beer tent.

Although Xiaolang had been on Little Majia Island,

He hadn't been idle, recruiting many people early on, preparing to make a lot of money at the beer festival.

The three walked into the shopping center's beer tent,

Unlike the association's five-star hotel with no sign of construction,

The shopping center's beer tent, a uniformly planned elliptical tent by the city,

Had a three-meter-high, twenty-meter-wide stage at one end, with a massive backdrop made of hundreds of LED light screens on either side,

Workers were adjusting the wiring and sound system.

Hundreds of colorful spotlights and stage lights changed angles, flashing in the tent,

And around the tent, large advertisements in blue, green, yellow, and red hung,

The middle of the venue was filled with rectangular wooden tables that could seat 20 people each.

Around the tent, there were many small booths for exchanging lucky items,

Many workers were stacking beer bottle-shaped blocks.

The visual impression alone felt lively and festive.

"You guys did a good job with this tent!"

Chen Jianhai's eyes widened in surprise at the shopping center's tent.

The tent here, regardless of whether you drink or not, had a festive beer festival atmosphere,

Completely different from the lifeless beer tent of the five-star hotel association.

"It's alright!"

Xiaolang said nonchalantly, "This thing is all about the crowd,"

"When the beer festival actually starts, it'll be smoky and chaotic! With some people randomly dancing and singing on stage, and the drum beats banging, people with weak hearts can't stay long, they'll leave after a while,"

"In the end, it's just like that,"

Chen Jianhai was a bit stunned,

"Then according to you, if the beer festival is smoky and chaotic, and people can't stay, how do you make money?"

Xiaolang looked helplessly at his dear brother and said,

"Are you stupid? The more it is like this, the more money I make!!"

Chen Jianhai was confused, "How so?"

Xiaolang explained, "The tent stipulates that each batch of people can only stay for 4 hours."

"But you can easily drink a pint of beer and chat for 4 hours. But to eat barbecue and drink beer for 4 hours straight, that's impossible!"

"If the venue here is comfortable and feels like home, and everyone sits down and doesn't leave,"

"How am I supposed to make big money then?"

"I might as well sit down and chat with them!"

Xiaolang rolled his eyes, downed the eight-treasure porridge in his hand, and threw it into the trash can next to him,

Then continued:

"So, the shorter they sit, the quicker they leave, the higher the frequency of guests, and the more lively the business."

"These people order a bunch of barbecue, a pint of beer, drink it up and leave."

"Then another batch comes in, orders more barbecue, drinks up and leaves."

"That's how my money comes in!"

When talking about making money, Xiaolang's eyes sparkled, and if he had a cigarette in his hand, he would definitely have the demeanor of pointing the way.
