Qin Ye and Li Yunshu had lunch at Li's house. In the afternoon, he accompanied the two old people and chatted for a while, then took Qin Ye back.
Qin Ye didn't wear the watch given by the two old men as a gift, and asked Li Yunshu to keep it for him.
He had to work all the time, so it was inconvenient for him to carry such a nice watch. If he left it at home, he was worried that it would be stolen. After all, there were some dishonest people in their compound.
With Song Jiarong's help, Lin Jianshe rented a staff house from the cotton mill. The house had one bedroom and one living room and was located in a large courtyard where all the employees of the cotton mill lived.
Because I rented a private house, the price was more expensive than the public housing I rented from the Housing Authority, and the monthly rent was 10 yuan.
In order to avoid complaints from the cotton mill employees, the landlord claimed that Lin Jianshe was his cousin.
After returning to the city from the countryside, my family couldn't accommodate me anymore, so I came to borrow my own house.
After signing the contract, Lin Jianshe paid six months' rent in one lump sum.
After seeing the landlord off, Lin Jianshe frowned as he looked at the empty and dusty house. He turned and walked into the yard. Looking at the middle-aged woman washing clothes in the yard, he said, "Auntie, can you help me clean the bathroom in this room? I'll give you money."
Che Huijuan raised her head and asked, "How much do you pay me for helping you with your health?"
Lin Jianshe thought for a moment and said, "One dollar."
"Okay, I'll do it for you right away." Che Huijuan wiped the water off her hands on her apron.
You can earn one dollar just by doing a sanitation job. It's such an easy job, why not do it?
Her husband works as a clerk in the factory and earns only a little over one yuan a month.
It's just a health job, it's not a difficult or hard job.
Che Huijuan took a broom and mop from home and started cleaning Lin Jianshe's new home. While cleaning, she also asked about Lin Jianshe's situation.
When she heard that he was unmarried and had no job, but was thinking of buying one recently, and that he didn't look poor from the way he dressed, and that he had a pretty face, she said, "I have a niece who's twenty years old and single. She works as a textile worker in a cotton mill. I could introduce her to you."
Lin Jianshe shook his head. "There's no rush. I'll take a break first and slowly get my work done."
Having been hurt in love twice, he is now somewhat repulsed by women and does not want to consider dating for the time being.
Che Huijuan said, "A man needs to establish a career before starting a family. Speaking of work, there are a few people in the cotton mill who are about to retire. Their children have jobs and they don't need their children to take over. They want to sell the jobs they have."
When Lin Jianshe heard this, he was interested. "How is the efficiency of this cotton mill?"
Che Huijuan said as she swept the floor, "Of course it's good. Our cotton mill is the largest state-owned cotton mill in Beijing. We have a lot of orders from home and abroad, and sometimes we even have to work overtime!"
"What's wrong? Do you want to buy a job at the cotton mill?" Che Huijuan asked Lin Jianshe.
Lin Jianshe pursed his lips and said, "I have this plan."
Che Huijuan said, "If you want to buy it, I can ask my husband to help you find it when I get there. But we work in a cotton mill, so the price is not low. It costs a thousand yuan."
Lin Jianshe: That’s definitely not low!
Che Huijuan said, "There's a mechanic in our hospital who's about to retire in a few months. He's gone off on his own to make a living in the south. He says he's started a company there and they don't want his job. So when he retires, this job will definitely be sold."
"Young guys like you are suitable to be mechanics. The work is easy and you can learn skills. These days, people with skills are popular."
Lin Jianshe felt that she was right. This man should be a skilled worker. Like his previous job in the garment factory, operating a sewing machine with a group of women was really boring.
Therefore, Lin Jianshe began to think about buying a job in a cotton mill.
The experiences of these days made him feel that this person still needed to have a formal job.
If you don't have a formal job, everyone will look down on you.
After cleaning the room, Lin Jianshe went to the furniture store and bought a bed, a set of tables and stools, and a wardrobe.
He didn't have to do any heavy work. He had to pay the delivery workers to move the furniture into his house.
After the furniture was arranged at home, it was already quite late, and Lin Jianshe returned to the guesthouse to stay.
The next day, he bought bed sheets, quilt covers and daily necessities, and Lin Jianshe officially settled down in the cotton mill's staff quarters.
On Tuesday, Qin Rong was off, and the dumpling shop launched a new dish, braised pork rice.
A bowl of braised pork rice, eight pieces of braised pork, a sliced egg, a piece of blanched greens, a bowl of marinade, priced at 10 cents per bowl.
For the first sale, Li Yunshu didn't prepare much, only thirty servings.
"Why does your dumpling shop smell like braised meat? Do you sell braised meat?" A white and plump middle-aged man asked while standing at the door of the dumpling shop.
Huang Qiuyan heard this and quickly went over to recommend it, "We have a new dish in our dumpling shop, the braised pork rice. It's really delicious. Would you like to try it? It's only 0 cents per portion, and it comes with a braised egg."
"Can we eat now?" asked the middle-aged man.
Huang Qiuyan said, "Okay."
The middle-aged man entered the store and ordered a bowl of braised pork rice and a bowl of kelp and bone soup.
The braised pork rice is served very quickly. Except for the vegetables which need to be blanched for a few seconds, the braised pork and braised eggs are already prepared and can be placed on the scooped white rice.
"Hello, here's your braised pork rice and kelp and bone soup."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw the fat and lean braised meat.
He is a meat connoisseur, and his favorite is braised meat. The braised meat in front of him looks delicious.
The middle-aged man is called Pang Xin, the director of the nearby supply and marketing cooperative. His home is nearby, and he usually leaves work early to go home for lunch.
Today, when I passed by the dumpling shop, I was attracted by the aroma of braised meat.
As soon as Huang Qiuyan left, Pang Xin picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
As soon as he took a bite of the braised meat, he closed his eyes in enjoyment.
This braised meat is amazing, much more delicious than the ones sold in state-owned restaurants. It is fatty but not greasy and melts in your mouth.
The rice soaked in braised pork sauce is very fragrant and delicious.
If you feel tired of eating, just eat some green vegetables, which are crisp and refreshing.
Pang Xin finished the bowl of braised pork rice with one bite after another.
"Girl, give me another bowl of braised pork rice with more marinade." He loves the taste of the rice mixed with the marinade.
"good."
By the time Pang Xin finished his second bowl, customers started to arrive. Seeing how delicious his meal was, the customers who had originally come for dumplings switched to braised pork rice.
There were more than 30 servings of braised pork rice, and more than 20 were sold at noon. The rest were sold out shortly after the market opened in the evening.
On the second day, Li Yunshu prepared more braised pork rice, about ten servings.
