Chapter 100 Huang Yuezhen is hired
Huang Wenlong hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Then bring it here on the 16th to try. If everyone can accept her cooking skills, I will use her. This is the price of this seafood."
Lin Qin understood immediately, "Don't worry, Boss Huang. You can get the same price as we gave Boss Zheng. If you are not sure, you can check with Boss Zheng. We are doing a long-term business and we will definitely not cheat you."
Huang Wenlong smiled, "Okay! Then I'll wait for my sister-in-law to make the arrangements."
After everything was discussed, Lin Qin went back to busy herself with weighing and accounting for the seafood. After a while, Chen Wenjun delivered the second truck, and she didn't stop working until after ten o'clock.
It was not safe to carry so much money back home late at night, and the couple also had to ask Zheng Guoxing for help to buy a tricycle, so they were not in a hurry to pay the bill.
After returning home, Lin Qin specially woke up Huang Yuezhen who was sleeping and talked about work.
Huang Yuezhen was overjoyed. "Cousin, you said you only work half a day every day and earn thirty yuan a month? There is such a good thing?"
Lin Qin nodded repeatedly, "I used to do this job, but now Wenjun and I are going to wholesale seafood. Wenjun is too busy, so I can't do this job. If you want, you can learn how to handle seafood from my dad in the next few days. My dad taught me how to cook.
I'll teach you a few home-cooked dishes when I have time. Go try them on the 16th. If Boss Huang agrees, the job will be yours."
Huang Yuezhen was so excited that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and kept thanking him.
Lin Qin was extremely tired, so she spoke to her for a few more words and then went back to her room to sleep.
Huang Yuezhen returned to the room, excitedly holding hands and whispering to Hong Weimin: "I thought this job was hard to find, thanks to my cousin, if I take this job, I can find another half-day job after I get the hang of it, and I can earn at least 40 yuan a month!
If you can find a job that pays more than 30 yuan a month, the two of us can earn 70 yuan a month. If we live frugally, we can save 50 yuan! By the New Year, we can take 600 yuan back home. "
The more Huang Yuezhen thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and her eyes narrowed.
Hong Weimin was also happy, and said with a simple smile: "You are right, but we have to find a house to move out. We can't always live in my cousin's house. Renting a house is a big expense."
Huang Yuezhen's smile faded a little, but she quickly adjusted her attitude, "No matter what, we can save four or five hundred in one year! It's much better than staying in the village and farming."
Hong Weimin had no objection.
The next day, when the couple got up to work, they found that Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin had already gone out. After asking Lin Yi, they learned that they had gone to Nangang again.
Hong Weimin sighed, "Aqin and Wenjun are really capable. From morning till night, I can only see them once when I come back for lunch at noon. I can't see them at other times."
Lin Yi also sighed with emotion, "That's right! They both go out at around four in the morning every day, and after wholesale seafood, they rush to the vegetable market. After waking up in the afternoon, they have to collect traps and rush to Nangang. After wholesale seafood, they have to deliver the goods immediately. It's almost ten o'clock when they finish.
So it’s not easy to make money. For the sake of their family, they have to work hard. I heard from Wenjun that most of the boat people are in Nangang and follow the cargo ships. They run around with the cargo ships. It’s very tiring, but the salary is very high. Some of the more tiring ones can earn more than 100 yuan a month! Ordinary boat workers also have 67 yuan. If they can’t find cargo to work, they go to Nangang. ”
Hong Weimin was overwhelmed by what he heard, and turned around to discuss with Huang Yuezhen, "What do you think about me going to Nangang to work on the cargo ship? My uncle said that the salary for ship workers is high, at least sixty or seventy."
Huang Yuezhen's eyes widened in shock, "So many? What are they for?"
Hong Weimin shook his head, "I don't know either, but being on a ship must be dangerous, otherwise the wages wouldn't be so high."
Huang Yuezhen shook her head when she heard that there was danger. "Forget it. We don't want to be rich. A salary of thirty or forty yuan is good enough, like the job my cousin introduced to me."
Hearing this, Hong Weimin couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Do you think this kind of good thing is everywhere? Thanks to my cousin, otherwise this job wouldn't have been our turn. You should learn how to cook from your uncle, and don't worry about my affairs. I'll find a chance to ask Wenjun about it in detail later."
In the end, Hong Weimin didn't find a chance to inquire.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Lin Qin took Huang Yuezhen to the construction site.
Huang Yuezhen was the chef, with Lin Qin helping out. They prepared stir-fried squid, mixed fish in soy sauce, clams in garlic sauce, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, stir-fried pork with greens, and a crucian carp and tofu soup.
Huang Yuezhen just learned how to cook these dishes in the past few days. It was the first time she cooked for so many people, so she was a little flustered. Fortunately, the dishes turned out pretty good in the end.
The people working at the construction site came back from work and started praising the food before they even had their meals.
Huang Wenlong exclaimed repeatedly, with a very praiseful expression, "Great! Both sisters-in-law are capable! This dish smells good! It must taste good! Brothers! Today we are eating real seafood. If you like it, we will arrange it every day in the future!"
"well!"
The workers were working with great enthusiasm.
Huang Yuezhen served food and dishes to them one by one.
Those who got the food found a place to sit down and ate in silence.
Seeing that everyone was eating hard, Lin Qin hurried over to ask them one by one.
Seeing everyone praising her, she and Huang Yuezhen both breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing his meal, Huang Wenlong smiled and said to Lin Qin, "Sister-in-law, your cousin's cooking skills are pretty good. She's the one for you!"
Lin Qin couldn't help but be delighted and quickly pulled Huang Yuezhen over to express her gratitude.
The two of them cleaned up the place where they worked before going back.
When Hong Weimin learned that Huang Yuezhen had successfully gotten the cooking job, he was so excited that he cried.
Chen Wenjun patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Cousin, you can do it. Your cousin's wife is now stable. You will follow me to Nangang starting tomorrow. We can move goods at the dock even if we don't work as boatmen. It's hard work, but you can earn a lot. You can also help me keep an eye out for some seafood entering the port. I will pay you for your work. You will definitely earn a lot in this way in a month."
Hong Weimin slapped his thigh and nodded heavily, "I'll listen to you!"
In fact, he had gone to the city to find out more in the past few days, but there was no shortage of people for the good jobs. Those that were short of people were temporary workers with low wages and long working hours. Originally, Lin Qin wanted to introduce him to work at Huang Wenlong's construction site, but was worried that Huang Wenlong would mind, so she didn't dare to ask.
He also understood the other boss's concerns, so he thought about looking again. After looking for so many days, he still couldn't find anything satisfactory. After much deliberation, he decided to go to Nangang with Chen Wenjun to try his luck.
Huang Yuezhen thought about it and said to Lin Qin, "Aqin, if Weimin goes to Nangang, I will rent a house close to the construction site and move out."
