Starting from Selling Bento at a Construction Site

Did you hear that the food at construction sites is not very tasty?

Well, that happens to be perfect, because I sell boxed lunches right outside the construction site gate!

Eight yuan for two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, plus a bowl of slow-simmered soup, and the whole box is packed full of rice so it will definitely fill you up.

What’s on the menu today?

Sticky rice pearl meatballs, stir-fried minced pork with grandma-style pickled vegetables, and tender stir-fried cucumbers.

It’s pretty hot today, right? Have some mung bean paste drink to cool down.

Want a serving?

I originally just wanted to open a boxed-lunch stall to make money and support my family, but as I kept going, the little lunch stall outside the construction gate turned into Xu Family Fast Food, and before I knew it, Xu Family Fast Food had become Xu Family Catering. The business expanded from Haishi to Haiyang Province, and then across the whole country...

Here, let me clarify!

I admit the explosive popularity of Xu Family braised dishes did use a little tiny trick, but I really never expected it to become popular nationwide! As for helping disabled association members find jobs and gain a new life, that was a coincidence, really just a coincidence!

And also, poverty alleviation and helping farmers really were only for a win-win outcome, I’m really not such a noble person! But if you insist on awarding me a title like "Poverty Alleviation Star Enterprise" or "Honorary Village Chief," I won’t refuse either!

Ah! What?

Xu Family Village has become a tourist hotspot, where you can watch the sunrise by the sea in the morning, catch jumping fish in the tidal flats at noon, go out to sea for oysters in the afternoon, soak in a sea hot spring at night, and look up at the starry sea of galaxies—living happily like an immortal. How do you explain that?

That really can’t be explained in just a sentence or two; the answer is all in the book. Esteemed guests, please come on in and read.
