From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket-Chapter 219 - 165: Takeout Box_3

For someone like Jiang Xin, wanting to pre-order food because she doesn’t want to wait too long is understandable, so the waiter calmly said:

"Of course, you can. Our restaurant accepts pre-orders. You can select your dishes in advance, and when the time comes, our chef will cook them early, so when you arrive, you can just pick them up." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Moreover, you don’t have to pay the full amount upfront. Just pay a deposit, and the rest can be settled when you come to pick up the food."

Since Jiang Xin is considered a regular customer here, the waiters are quite familiar with her and know she’s not the type to dine and dash.

Therefore, they suggested she pay half as a deposit.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xin was instantly delighted. By pre-ordering the food, she wouldn’t need to rush from the warehouse; she could spend more time working there.

So, after listening to the waiter, Jiang Xin immediately took out the menu again. She casually ordered three dishes and a soup, noted them down, and handed them to the waiter. Then she thought for a moment, took a few lunch boxes from her bag, and handed them over to the waiter, adding:

"Please keep these lunch boxes with you. Once the dishes are ready, could you use these to pack them? I’ll come to pick them up at four o’clock, is that okay?"

Jiang Xin asked, wanting to confirm the timing with the waiter. She couldn’t arrive only to find the chef hadn’t finished cooking yet; otherwise, what would be the point of pre-ordering?

Jiang Xin’s concerns were reasonable.

Hearing her query, the waiter immediately replied:

"Don’t worry about that. Our chef will definitely prepare the pre-ordered dishes in advance. Just make sure to come and pick them up at four o’clock, and you’ll enjoy hot meals."

After hearing the waiter’s response, Jiang Xin felt more at ease. She nodded and went to the counter to pay.

Once everything was settled, Jiang Xin left the State-owned Restaurant directly and headed to the market with her food to find Lin Ye for lunch.

The ordering process didn’t take too long, and now it was just past eleven-thirty, which was perfect for lunchtime.

Jiang Xin wasn’t in a rush and walked leisurely. The State-owned Restaurant wasn’t very close to the market.

Usually, after leaving the State-owned Restaurant, Jiang Xin would run, but today, since she came out early, she wasn’t in a hurry and thought about the tasks at the warehouse while walking.

Jiang Xin thought that when she saw Lin Ye later,

she would discuss the warehouse situation, perhaps even take Lin Ye there to check things out. If all went smoothly, she could start getting goods from the warehouse tomorrow.

But upon careful consideration, Jiang Xin suddenly thought it might not be wise to tell Lin Ye at lunchtime. What if Lin Ye offered to help move the goods, making it awkward for her to explain?

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Xin finally decided she would wait until the evening, after the warehouse was stocked full, to take Lin Ye there. This way, it would avoid many issues.

Once she reached the market, Jiang Xin found Lin Ye’s stall at the usual spot, locating it easily.

Seeing a few customers at the stall, Jiang Xin didn’t make a sound, quietly walked to the side, and placed the food in front of Lin Ye.

As there were still customers, Lin Ye, noticing Jiang Xin had come to deliver food, nodded at her before continuing to introduce products to his customers.

Jiang Xin watched from the side, observing how familiar Lin Ye was with his tasks, which made her increasingly satisfied with this employee.

She felt hiring Lin Ye was the most correct decision she had made since coming to this world.

Otherwise, she would be the one sweating under the hot sun, working hard at the market.

How could she be so carefree, dealing with other matters otherwise?

With Lin Ye around, she could completely delegate everything.

About ten minutes later, when there were no customers, Lin Ye was still tidying up the goods.

Seeing this, Jiang Xin immediately called him over to eat.
