Chapter 52

It was already late at night when Zhang Moyuan arrived home, Lin Yan didn't know he was coming back today, and fell asleep early.

Although it's already September, it's still very hot. Lin Yan's underwear was lifted up, revealing his slightly bulging belly.

Zhang Moyuan walked over and pulled off his coat for him before going to take a bath.

When he came out of the shower, Lin Yan had already woken up, leaning against the bedside and waiting for him.

"you're back?"

Zhang Moyuan hummed, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Want to talk to you."

Zhang Moyuan sat by the bed and looked at Lin Yan quietly.

"Is everything about the Qiu family settled?"

"Qiuhou asks to be cut."

"What about County Magistrate Ji?"

"There's no rush, he's still needed to reclaim land from the sea."

Lin Yan nodded, and then yawned. He is really prone to sleepiness now. He obviously sleeps a lot every day, but he is still sleepy.

Zhang Moyuan smiled, "Go to sleep, I'll ask tomorrow what I want to know."

Lin Yan shook his head, "I've slept a lot."

He cheered up and asked some questions about the beach, Zhang Moyuan answered them one by one, halfway through the conversation he found that Lin Yan's eyes had been closed.

He stopped, but the next moment Lin Yan lazily said, "Go on, I just close my eyes for a while."

However, when Zhang Moyuan finished speaking and called him, he had already fallen asleep.

Zhang Moyuan laughed.

After covering Lin Yan with a thin quilt, he got up and put the lamp on his palm, and began to write the conclusion of the Qiu family's case.

Originally, this work belonged to the master, but because he has been working on this case, Ji Gaochi specially entrusted this work to him.

Zhang Moyuan considered his words and wrote a watertight closing statement. Even if Ji Gaochi was pointed at in the future, he would still have a way to get himself out.

The salted duck eggs are marinated.

Lin Yan stood at the back door, took a deep breath and said, "Do it."

As soon as he gave an order, Aunt Lin and Aunt Lin immediately walked towards the backyard, and Hai Bei and Haike followed him.

Lift off the cloth covering the jars, revealing ten jars neatly stacked.

Hai Ke drooled and said, "Xiao Su, two times."

Meaning he's going to eat two.

Lin Yan touched his little head and said ruthlessly, "You can only eat half of it."

Hishell: "..."

Father Lin and Mrs. Lin each took a can to carry the salted duck eggs into the house. Brother Linsan, who was busy moving the barbecue grill inside, immediately came to help when he saw it.

Together, they moved all ten jars in two or three trips.

The marinated salted duck eggs are covered with salt and need to be cleaned before being boiled.

Father Lin lit the fire, Mrs. Lin washed the duck eggs, and Lin Yan cooked them.

A pot can be cooked in ten minutes.

Lin Yan scooped out the salted duck eggs with a big spoon and put them in the prepared basket.

A big pot can cook about 50 duck eggs. The inner and outer pots were fired together. After four hours of hard work, all the duck eggs were finally cooked.

Lin Yan cut two of them, tasted them himself, and nodded with satisfaction.

Hai Ke raised his face and anxiously pulled Lin Yan's trouser legs, and Lin Yan fed him a mouthful.

"Is it delicious?"

"Good times."

Father Lin also said: "This time the taste is even better than last time."

Sister Lin nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, I think we have to make two thousand next time."

Brother Linsan loaded the barbecue stove into the bullock cart, tidied it up and came in, impatiently said, "Let me try it too."

Lin Yan handed him a whole one, but Brother Linsan hesitated for a while and still didn't take it, "Hai Bei, share with third uncle."

Father Lin patted him and said angrily, "There are so many in the basket, why do you want to grab a bite of Hai Bei?"

Brother Linsan smiled and said, "I want to save one and sell it?"

Hai Bei was very reluctant at first, but when he heard what the third uncle said, he graciously broke off one piece for him.

This time Lin Yan also went together.

The iced fruit tea is about to be taken off the shelves after the last round of sales. Lin Yan originally planned to try selling fresh milk tea with milk and tea leaves.But the tea is too expensive, and the cost after making it is too high. It is estimated that few people will buy it.

Cow's milk is also not common, at least Lin Yan has never seen a cow here.

Lin Yan was thinking all the way, and arrived in the town before he knew it.

They drove two ox carts, one was full of salted duck eggs, and the other was the same as before, with barbecue fruit tea and so on.

Brother Linsan was in charge of the salted duck egg car. After arriving at the first point, he removed the salted duck eggs from above, leaving only two baskets.

Lin Yan handed him the appointment form, the writing on it was written by Brother Linsan himself, so it would be most convenient for him to recognize it.

"Third brother, go to the neighborhood first, and go door-to-door to give them the salted duck eggs they ordered, and tell them that the fried shrimp with salted egg yolk is on the market."

"Listed?"

"It means you can buy it."

When he got off the car, Lin Yan suddenly had an idea to make takeaway.

This is not the first time he has had this idea.

Although the food delivery we are doing now is close, in the end, the customers come to the door on their own initiative. In essence, it is still setting up a stall, which is not the same thing as takeaway.

It just so happens that the salted duck eggs are easier to give away this time, and they don’t need to be packed in a box, so just try it once.

"Third brother, I'll let my sister-in-law go with you. You must protect the duck eggs and try not to bump them."

"Sister-in-law is meticulous, give him the duck egg, and you will be responsible for recording the next reservation."

Lin Yan explained some details, and Brother Linsan and Mrs. Lin drove the ox cart away after they understood it.

They came early today, so there were no guests for the time being. After Brother Lin and the others went out for a while, the guests came one after another.

"Brother Yan, hurry up, give me two fried shrimps with salted egg yolk, I've been thinking about this one for a month."

Lin Yan quickly put the processed shrimps into the pot while chatting with the guests, "Brother Wang, have you delivered the salted duck eggs you ordered?"

Brother Wang laughed and said happily, "I have delivered them. I ordered 30, which is quite a lot. When your little brother came to the door, I wondered why it was delivered to my house."

Lin Yan smiled, "Isn't this just trying to make things easier for the big guys?"

"Really, you see, I'm missing a basket this trip."

"Actually, fried shrimp with salted egg yolk can also be delivered. If you still order next time, I will also send it home for you."

Doing takeaway is also good for Lin Yan, it saves the time of waiting for customers, he just needs to cook the fried shrimp one by one, and then pack them up one by one for his brothers to send out.

Once a point is delivered, it will be exchanged for another point.

Set a time range with the guests at each point, and there is no situation where there is no one at home.

Brother Wang's eyes lit up, "Can this also be delivered?"

Lin Yan nodded, "It's fine with salted duck eggs. I cook it here, and it's close to your home, so it won't affect the taste."

"That would be nice."

Brother Wang ate two of the fried shrimp immediately after getting them, and ordered three without saying a word.

Since setting up a stall on Xishou Street, most of Lin Yan's customers are actually those with more money, which has something to do with Xishou Street itself.

Moreover, the chutney, barbecue, and fruit tea he sells are not necessities in themselves. If you don’t have enough money to eat it once or twice, you may not come back again.

Regular customers who can place orders repeatedly and keep staying must have no worries about food and clothing.

For example, Boss Ma, Boss Jiang, and the shopkeeper of the rice shop, as well as this big brother Wang just now.

This type of people, as long as they eat well, their purchasing power is amazing.

Lin Yan was so busy making fried shrimp that he didn't have time to take notes, so he could only temporarily keep the customer's order in mind.

When he has time, he can make some simple records, and then wash his hands before going back to make fried shrimp.

Lin Yan secretly decided that he must make a list of regular customers when he goes back, so that when he records next time, he only needs to write a number at the end.

Lin Yan began to miss modern computers.

Using a computer to make a form, all problems are easily solved.

It can also be printed out and used repeatedly.

Lin Yan sighed silently.

Because it is the first delivery point, there will inevitably be some problems in the middle. For example, some customers have not yet delivered the salted duck eggs to their homes. When they bring a basket, Lin Yan will patiently explain that the salted duck eggs will be delivered to their homes.

If there is a customer who did not make a reservation last time, Lin Yan will tell them kindly that this time the salted duck eggs will be next to the customer who made the reservation last time, and then leave the name and address of the other party, and if it is delivered this time, if it isAnd then send it home.

He looks good, speaks well, smiles all the time, and is generous to give new customers a taste. The key is that the food he makes is really delicious, so naturally no one makes things difficult for him.

Brother Linsan and Mrs. Lin took some time this trip, after all, it was the first time, and they were not familiar with the addresses of the guests.

When they came back, Lin Yan and Lin Adie were already resting.

Father Lin said distressedly: "Yan'er, let your second brother come with you next time, you are too tired to work on both sides."

Lin Yan nodded.

If it wasn't for his sudden whim to deliver food, there would still be enough staff.

But since he decided to do it, he had to think carefully when he went back.

Brother Lin had faint excitement on his face, and when he came back, he didn't even bother to drink his saliva and said, "Yan'er, this method you thought of is really convenient, and I was pleasantly surprised to see those guests."

"Yes." Mrs. Lin also said: "We are not familiar with the location for the first time, and it will be soon next time."

"Are the duck eggs broken?"

Mrs. Lin shook her head, "I watched them all, but there wasn't a single one."

Lin Yan smiled, "That's good. The most important thing for us to do food delivery in the future is that the items delivered should not be damaged. Be careful."

"takeout?"

"The first one is called takeaway, now this one is called takeaway, how about the new name I gave?"

Brother Linsan nodded, "Yes, it fits well."

"Next time, let's add fried shrimp with salted egg yolk."

Mrs. Lin was a little worried, "Can fried shrimp work?"

"It can be done." Lin Yan nodded, "After closing the stall, I will go to Jiang's kiln and ask Boss Jiang to make a batch of takeaway boxes for us and deliver them in boxes."

"Do you want to give away the box?"

"If it's convenient for the guests, they can make room for us to take away the empty boxes. If it's not convenient, can we just recycle them next time?"

Sister Lin said happily, "Brother Yan, you still have a way."

When it was time to move to the next point, Aunt Lin took the initiative to ask Ying, "Let me deliver it with the third child, your sister-in-law can write, and she can help you write down some time."

Lin Yan agreed.

The next few points are faster than the first point, mainly because Brother Lin has experience, and he even speaks faster when explaining than the first point.

After closing the stall, the four of them went to Jiangjiayao together.

Boss Jiang wanted to hide when he saw Lin Yan, but Brother Linsan grabbed him.

"Boss Jiang, I have a big deal for you."

Boss Jiang said blankly, "It's not some kind of ice tray, is it?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "This time it's a bowl."

Boss Jiang's face looked better, "What kind of bowl is it?"

Lin Yan took out the sketch paper he had sketched on the road, and after unfolding it, Boss Jiang turned and left, but was held down by Brother Linsan.

"Boss Jiang, don't rush away. Although it looks like an ice tray, it is taller than an ice tray, and it is much easier to do."

Lin Yan drew two shapes of takeaway boxes, round and square, and each shape has three styles, some without a block inside, and some with one or two blocks inside.

The general shape is indeed somewhat similar to an ice tray.

But the takeaway box is covered.

Each style of takeaway box has subtle differences for easy distinction.But one thing is the same, there is a word Lin on them.

Boss Jiang took it and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed simpler than the ice tray, so he softened his tone and said, "How much do you want?"

Lin Yan raised the corners of his lips, "Thirty for each, a total of one hundred and eighty."

Boss Jiang: "..."

After a busy day, Brother Linsan happily hopped around the house, wanting to share a wave of takeaways with everyone he sees.

Eldest Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin were all interested, so they gathered around to inquire with Lin Yan.

"Yan'er, you said fried shrimp can be delivered, but can barbecue be delivered?"

"Alright, let's put them all together."

"Are all the salted duck eggs delivered today?"

"There are some left. Go to a few villages tomorrow and tell them about our takeaway."

"it is good."

Lin Yan went to his room to fetch a stack of papers, and then put together the list made by himself, Aunt Lin and Brother Linsan today.

Then he turned his head to look at Zhang Moyuan and blinked.

Zhang Moyuan was stunned for a moment, then consciously picked up the pen and sat down, resigned himself to his fate and said, "What to write?"

Lin Yan leaned on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Help me compile a list of regular customers."

Zhang Moyuan understood.

Lin Yan gave him a rough outline of the form, which included a list, address, and a list of current meals.

Just write the number in the corresponding area for the number of meal reservations, and tick the number when the delivery is finished.

For the time being, there are only salted duck eggs, fried shrimp, grilled oysters, scallops, and three kinds of meat in the food list, a total of seven kinds.

Facing Zhang Moyuan, Lin Yan's thoughts were much faster, and there was no need to say some words, Zhang Moyuan would understand.

Of course, Lin Yan can also write by himself, but most of his characters can only be written in simplified Chinese characters, and his secrets will be revealed as soon as he writes.

Brother Lin and the others were still giggling, but Lin Yan quickly found them.

"After Moyuan finishes writing, you can make a copy yourself and keep it with you for later use."

After thinking about it, Lin Yan added, "It's best to make a few more copies, so as not to get dirty and lose it."

Brother Linsan, who was still having fun just now: "..."

Zhang Moyuan laughed.

Lin Yan put his eyes on him again, and flattered him: "Moyuan, please help me write a few more copies too, I will get dirty and lose it too."

Zhang Moyuan: "..."

I can't laugh anymore.

The Lin family sat together and copied the list of regular customers all night. During this period, Lin Yan and Zhang Moyuan had to answer the questions of the three brothers. After all, they knew only limited words.

After Zhang Moyuan's second list was written, Lin Yan began to consolidate today's reservations.

Combine the two written by him and Brother Linsan into one list.

It's all numbers, and it's easy to figure out.

When the three older brothers were copying to death, Lin Yan walked around eating the fruit, which made the three older brothers resentful.

Zhang Moyuan wrote fast. When he finished five copies, the three brothers didn't even finish the first one.

Seeing the three older brothers getting more and more irritable, Lin Yan quickly slipped away.

The next day they went to several nearby villages, mainly selling salted duck eggs, fried shrimp with salted egg yolk, and promoting takeaway.

The purchasing power of several villages is lower than that of the town, but they add up to a considerable amount.

Brother Linsan's expression was very complicated. He was naturally very happy with the large number of orders, but he couldn't laugh at the thought of copying a new list when he went back.

For some reason, holding such a light pen feels so heavy in his hand, which is more tiring than his busy day delivering it.

Lin Yan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "I'll find a bookstore in the town some other day, and engrave these lists into a book, engrave dozens of copies, and exchange them when they're used up."

Brother Linsan hesitated and said, "Engraved books are expensive."

Lin Yan nodded, "It shouldn't be cheap."

"Forget it, I can copy."

"You can copy, but Moyuan can't, you can't let him copy every time."

Brother Linsan: "..."

Lin Yan also just thought of it. First, he copied the list and used it to see how the takeaway food works. After a while, he decided to engrave the official takeaway menu into a book.

Although engraving books is expensive, it is more convenient than copying them yourself every time.

What's more, he will continue to do takeout, and the guest list will get longer and longer in the future, so copying is absolutely unrealistic.

Several villages ran down, and the last remaining salted duck eggs were exhausted, so Lin Yan went to the town to order another batch of duck eggs.

The delivery time of duck eggs is different from other food, after all, he delivers once a month, which is more regular.

When there are no salted duck eggs, only a few other dishes will be given.

Because had to wait for Boss Jiang's takeaway box, the first takeaway was delayed until half a month later.

Still in town.

Because it was the first time, all three brothers came, and even Zhang Moyuan came to help.

The fruit tea has been completely removed from the shelves, and today's main focus is barbecue.

The first time was quite special, and the time could not be set in advance, so Brother Linsan and Brother Lin made a special trip to the town and several villages yesterday to make an appointment with the guests on the delivery time.

The village is fine. Everyone has a limited range of activities. After finishing their work in the morning, they have a lot of free time in the afternoon, and they like to walk around.

Not much different from delivery in the past.

The main audience of takeaway is the guests in the town.

So the two brothers spent most of the day in the town.

Brother Linsan is good at coaxing people, and he is also familiar with these guests. With his efforts, he has tried his best to arrange the guests at the same point in the same time slot.

With sufficient manpower, Lin Yan didn't panic at all.

Except it took a while to get those takeout boxes shipped.

After all, they are all made of ceramics. Although a single piece is not heavy, the weight of 180 pieces together is solid.

Father Lin took the initiative to take over the important task of washing the takeaway boxes.

to the first point.

Because there are only two bullock carts, the three brothers and sisters-in-law negotiated and divided them. Brother Lin, sister-in-law Lin, went to one side, and brother Linsan, brother Linsan, went to the other side.

Lin Yan was cooking barbecue while looking at the reservation list.

Oysters and scallops are relatively large and can only be placed in unblocked lunch boxes, but these two have the advantage that they can be taken out directly by hand, so the takeaway boxes that put these two types must be recycled immediately.

The other three kinds of meat depend on the customer's reservation, and the three styles of takeaway boxes are used in rotation.

What Lin Yan said about this was to free up the guests as much as possible and take back the takeaway boxes.

Although it is possible to keep it at the guest's house and recycle it later, it will take time after all, and if there is a bump, you will have to wait to make another batch.

All three brothers understood.

Lin Yan only made 20 copies for the first batch, 10 copies for each side, and asked them to come back to pick them up after delivery.

Father Lin guarded a bucket of clear water, ready to fight.

Lin Yan laughed, "Father, don't be so nervous."

Adie Lin said seriously: "We only have so many takeaway boxes, and if we don't wash them in time, it won't be enough."

Zhang Moyuan sat next to him, and his task today was to help integrate the reservation list.

Brother Linsan is faster, after all, they just came here yesterday.

"How, have you taken back the takeaway boxes?"

Brother Linsan nodded, "It's taken back, just one thing."

"what?"

"Brother Wang last time, he took a fancy to our takeaway box and asked if you sell it?"

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "It's okay to sell, but Boss Jiang...he might kill me."

Brother Linsan Brother Linsan laughed.

Lin Yan thought for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Moyuan, "Maybe you need to come forward."

Let Zhang Moyuan brush his face.

Zhang Moyuan: "..."

The dirty takeaway boxes were handed over to Father Lin for washing, and Lin Yan made another 30 copies, and the two elder brothers went back to deliver them.

After a while, brother Lin and sister-in-law Lin also came back.

Mrs. Lin sent it back last time. Although she is not as familiar with the other two brothers as to the route, she is not bad.

There was one less takeaway box in their hands.

Sister Lin was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "There is a little doll who has been clamoring for our family's takeaway box. We persuaded him but we had to keep it first."

"Do they want takeaway boxes too?"

Mrs. Lin was puzzled, "Why?"

Lin Yan talked about what happened to Brother Wang just now.

Mrs. Lin nodded, "So that's the case."

Lin Yan looked at Zhang Moyuan again.

Zhang Moyuan: "..."

The matter of asking for takeaway boxes is still going on, and the next few companies all want Lin's takeaway boxes, thinking they are beautiful and convenient.

Lin Yan hurriedly leaned forward, "Sir."

Zhang Moyuan said helplessly, "Okay, I promise you."

Lin Yan happily kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr.

Zhang Moyuan chuckled lightly, which was not a bad thing.

The first time to deliver food, the effect was much better than Lin Yan expected. He originally thought that there would be a discount on the taste.

It turned out that it was okay to deliver it in one day, probably because he made it in batches, Brother Lin and the others delivered it quickly.

Overall, I am still very satisfied.

And accidentally sold a batch of takeaway boxes.

The author has something to say:

Sorry, it's late today, and a new chapter will be added tomorrow.
