Chapter 56 Insulated Box Upgrade
After glancing at Chen Yuan, Ma Wenming lowered his head again and began wiping his stall.
Chen Yuan left quickly.
After all, although they operate in different product categories, they are indeed competitors.
As Chen Yuan walked to the entrance of the residential area and passed by Chen's Steamed Bun Shop, he heard the loudspeaker repeatedly uttering the same sentence from afar.
"Chen's Steamed Buns Shop: Delicious and affordable, half-price sale! Come and try them!"
As Chen Yuan passed by, he glanced into the steamed bun shop and thought to himself.
"These are the real competitors."
"But they've been offering this half-price discount for several days now, can they keep it up?"
Chen Yuan now makes his own steamed buns, so he is very familiar with the costs.
The cost and profit of a steamed bun are basically 50/50. A steamed bun that costs three yuan has a cost of about one yuan and four or five yuan.
"This boss is really something, always offering half-price discounts, which is practically not making a profit. How have they managed to hold on until now? Do they own this house?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand."
With a thought that crossed his mind, Chen Yuan vanished in the blink of an eye.
Chen's Steamed Bun Shop.
The proprietress, Zhao Dan, looked grim and somewhat anxious as she spoke to Chen Hui.
"What should we do? The half-price sign has been up for almost a week, and their business is still booming. Today I went to take a look from a distance, and wow, there were so many people queuing up."
"You'd better think of something! Lowering the price isn't a solution; we can't keep lowering it. Next month's rent is due soon, and you don't want to lose money, do you?"
Chen Hui looked at the remaining steamer basket full of buns, his brows furrowed tightly, a surge of anger rising within him, and he immediately spoke in a very rude manner.
"Stop arguing, all you do is argue! What's the point of telling me this?!"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Do you think you're the only one in this family who's worried, and I'm not?"
Zhao Dan glared at her: "You good-for-nothing, why are you taking it out on me? What did I do to you? If you're so capable and have such a temper, why don't you go find that guy surnamed Chen!"
"Why would I want to see him? I'll beat him up and go to jail myself. You're up to no good, aren't you? You'll be happy if I go to jail?!"
"Bullshit! That dog's mouth can't produce anything good. I've been cursed for eight lifetimes to be with you!"
"If you're so capable, go find someone better than me!"
"Fine, Chen Hui, you think you're all grown up now? Divorce! Divorce tomorrow!"
"Fine, let's get a divorce! Anyone who doesn't is a coward!"
Zhao Dan was so angry that she choked up and gasped for breath.
The two had just gotten into a heated argument and ended up saying the wrong thing. Now they were staring at each other, neither willing to back down first.
After a while, it was someone who came to buy steamed buns who broke the deadlock.
Seeing that the steamed buns were not selling, Chen Hui could only resort to a half-sale, half-giveaway approach: buy two, get one free.
After seeing the customer off, Chen Hui sighed.
"I just felt something was off. How does this kid have so many customers? People would rather queue up over there than come here to eat."
Zhao Dan gritted her teeth and stamped her foot, saying...
"Never mind, I'll buy some and try it tomorrow!"
"I'm going to see just how delicious those steamed buns that kid sells really are!"
the other side.
After dropping Chen Youyou off at kindergarten, Chen Yuan turned back.
By this time, Ma Wenming had already packed up his stall.
Chen Yuan took the insulated box out of the breakfast shop, and just as he was putting it into the bread cart, he suddenly heard the system beep.
Good stuff is here again.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully selling fresh meat wontons!]
[To facilitate delivery by the host, the equipment is now being upgraded.]
Before Chen Yuan could even wonder what was being delivered, the insulated box in his hand suddenly trembled violently, startling him.
Then he saw that the incubator had visibly doubled in size.
The originally dark blue box has changed color.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Delicious Insulated Box.]
[Function: Elevates the food in the box to a freshly cooked state, maintaining it at 100% perfection and the optimal temperature.]
Chen Yuan reached out and patted the insulated box, feeling that it was even sturdier than before the upgrade.
"Great! With this, we won't have to worry about delivering goods anymore."
Chen Yuan was overjoyed and drove his little van to the address Qin Zhengjiang had given him.
It's exactly eight o'clock.
Chen Yuan arrived at the parking lot of an office building in the central district of Yong'an, which was over 500 meters high.
This is the most famous business building in Yong'an City, encompassing commercial and office areas. Just passing by, you can feel the overwhelming smell of money.
Most of the people coming and going are well-dressed white-collar workers.
at this time.
Underground Parking Lot.
Chen Yuan's small van looked completely out of place with the luxury cars inside.
Chen Yuan made a phone call to Qin Zhengjiang.
soon.
A very familiar person came into his field of vision.
Wang Xiaoya.
Wang Xiaoya looked around a few times and immediately set her sights on the bread truck.
She skipped and hopped over to Chen Yuan, her face already flushed.
I don't know if she's tired or just shy after seeing Chen Yuan.
Wang Xiaoya greeted Chen Yuan in a very open and friendly manner.
"Boss Chen, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work. Can you carry all that stuff up there by yourself?"
"...Probably not, there are too many."
"Then I'll take you up there."
Wang Xiaoya watched as Chen Yuan effortlessly lifted the incubator, which was very heavy for him, and her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
"Wow, Mr. Chen, you're amazing! Do you usually work out?"
"no."
"Then you must be naturally strong, that's amazing."
At this moment, the muscles on Chen Yuan's arms, which were holding the incubator, were taut and their lines were clearly outlined by his clothes.
He said it very humbly and truthfully.
"No, it's probably from practicing making steamed buns and chopping meat."
Wang Xiaoya laughed so hard she was shaking.
"Haha, Boss Chen, you're really funny."
"Is there?"
Yes, yes, yes, absolutely!
After entering the elevator, Wang Xiaoya pressed the button for floor 72.
Chen Yuan kept his eyes straight ahead, while Wang Xiaoya had more on her mind, and she would steal glances at Chen Yuan from time to time.
At this time of day, everyone is at work, and there aren't many people waiting for the elevator.
But everyone who entered the elevator stared in surprise at Chen Yuan and the box in his hand.
We've finally reached the 72nd floor.
Wang Xiaoya led Chen Yuan inside.
As soon as Chen Yuan entered, he immediately attracted the attention of several "urban slaves".
"Hey? What does that guy do? He's so handsome."
"By the way, Manager Gao said that President Qin treated us to breakfast today. Could this guy be a deliveryman?"
"Huh? Are delivery drivers this good now?"
