A mom-and-pop stall on the verge of closing down received 316 lunch orders from the construction site. Previously, a supplier I had worked with for two years thought the workers were "disgraced" and the orders were "trivial", so they kicked him out of the group before dinner. Zhou Jianguo and Li Mei don't know how to talk nice. They only know how to provide enough meat and soup, buy vegetables in the early morning, and keep samples of each meal. Bowls of hot and substantial lunches earned the recognition of the workers and the trust of the managers, and the stall eventually became an exclusive catering unit. No one is born to be looked down upon, and no one can be easily fooled. When the boss next door laughed at the "low-end" construction site meals, she would not have thought that a real job that would last a lifetime would not depend on sky-high price orders.

Not bad, just an ordinary, down-to-earth life
Beautiful, a happy ending. Cook steadily, do what you promised, and don't look down on your customers. Liu ended up setting up a roadside stall and later reconciled. Liu sells porridge at the construction site.
