Chapter 243 When Fellow Villagers Meet, Tears well Up in Their Eyes



"Open the pot!"

After saying that, Old Han walked a few steps to Li Yao's side, carefully looked at the contents of the notice, and then read the contents of the notice aloud.

However, the income from that job was indeed lower than that of the express delivery platform, and the delivery positions at Zhang Hong's slow-dining restaurant, which the young man highly recommended, were too difficult to secure. The two had no choice but to reluctantly accept the job, intending to look for a better one while still employed.

As soon as he said that, everyone around him started to jeer.

"Oh dear, she really knows that. I only told you I was in Haishi before I left." Xu An's mother quickly placed the bowl and chopsticks under her knees, a look of worry on her face. "She knows I've found a job, so I'm eating well, but I have nowhere to sleep..."

“You’re Zhang Dezhen’s people. You make braised dishes every year during festivals. We’ve been watching the younger generation make them since we were kids, and we often make them ourselves, so we’re really not very good at it!”

Looking at the meager hundred-yuan reward in their hands, and recalling the wages they had earned working early and late for the past two days, the two realized once again why the delivery clerk position at Zhang Hong's Slow Food Restaurant was so hard to get...

"If something happens outside the house, even if he's been gone for a few days, there will be some news. Mom is worried..."

"He means?"

These two men are Zhang Hong and Li Guang. Yesterday, they worked as deliverymen at the Shengli Supermarket distribution center. With their two flimsy bicycles, they made eighteen trips carrying thirty to fifty kilograms of goods before finally receiving their payment: sixty-four yuan plus a boxed lunch, and a body full of aches and pains.

"Boss, you have no experience in cooking braised food, and you don't have a certificate of weakness. Could you try working as a braised food helper?" the two said to Zhong Qiu in unison.

"The taste of braised food! That's definitely the taste of braised food!" Before taking a deep breath, Xu excitedly patted Zhong Qiu's arm: "That taste, it's exactly the same as the taste of our braised food right after it comes out of the pot. Yes, it seems a bit more fragrant over there, but it's still not quite the same..."

The whole process was smooth, but it required waiting and scrambling. You had to keep running back and forth according to the order information, and as you ran, the work was delayed, and you couldn't afford to be late getting back to work and collecting your pay...

After today, the two heard from others about the advantages of being a sales clerk at Zhang Hong's slow-paced restaurant: short working hours, few orders delivered at a time, bad food, low wages...

“Let him think about it himself!” Xu An explained slowly, “Ah Yao’s brother-in-law and sister both work at Zhang Hong’s braised food shop. He said, ‘Why am I working with us? Why did I go to work at another shop, and I’m even a braised food chef?’”

The young man chatted as he ate, and the most frequent topic of conversation was the recent weather. It was so cold that it felt like the crops were being thoroughly watered morning and evening. If the weather continued to get colder, some crops would lose up to 20% of their yield.

"Hey, Lao Ba's family, I heard Ah Hong went to work there?" An old woman swallowed her food and looked at Xu An's mother with a mischievous look: "Did you find a job? What kind of job is it? It's hard work and tiring, but the pay isn't much less?"

We can change our phones, but we can't use desktop computers! Desktop networks are slower, more stable, and have longer-lasting connections than mobile networks!

"These are Xu An and Zhong Qiu, right? Here are their ID cards and certificates. Sign their names on that form."

Zhang Hong's Braised Food Shop!

Lu Ziyue stood at the store entrance holding the list, checking the identities of the deliverymen one by one. Because the two were new deliverymen, their ID cards were confiscated before their information was registered, and would be returned when we settled our wages later that evening.

There's a second chapter, but it'll be a little later (?_?)
