He Ruixue got straight to the point, "Third brother, I do have a job opportunity here. It depends on whether you are willing to do it."
He Qiusheng turned his head suddenly, looking at her anxiously with joyful eyes, "I knew that our sister is the most reliable. What kind of job is it?"
"It takes about three years for an apprentice chef to become a full-time chef. Don't even think about passing the chef exam. Before you become a full-time chef, you'll be paid the same as a kitchen helper, which is 27.5 yuan."
In fact, the apprentice salary in the factory is very low, 18 in the first year, 20 in the second year, and 22 in the last year.
But Zhu Haihui, as the mainstay of the canteen, is in charge of the kitchen.
As his apprentice, it was nothing for him to enjoy some extra treatment. He just had to tell his superiors and the director of the logistics department would naturally give him face.
Wang Taozhi was the first to express her approval, "Dongbao, you are really capable. This is a good job."
Cooks are great. They say that even in a famine, a cook will never starve to death. Even if they bring back leftovers, at least they can fill their own stomachs.
You can also learn a skill, and in the future you can earn a few dollars by preparing banquets for others, and bring back some meat strips and fish tails.
She kept calculating in her mind, "Last time the Zhao family hired someone to prepare a banquet, they seemed to have given the cook two dollars. Once you become an apprentice, if you take on more work on weekends, you can earn an extra ten dollars a month."
He Qiusheng was even happier after hearing this, not even slightly complaining about the low salary. "That's enough. I have a small family, so I can't spend much money. But can the apprentices at your company transfer their household registration? What about food?"
"You can transfer to a city hukou. Apprentices are not like temporary workers. They have food supplies. However, Xiaohua's food supply depends on the third sister-in-law. You still have to find a way to find her a job."
"Ah, there is such a rule. Why don't I give my current job to Shu Yu?"
Zhao Meiya, who had been listening intently, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this. "She's a cook? Don't be ridiculous. The chef has no grudge against you. Are you going to piss him off to death?"
He Qiusheng defended his wife, "Mom, Shu Yu was just a little slow, but the food she cooked tasted okay."
"Yes, she can't even cook for several people. If she were to cook for the big pot, they might not even be able to eat from noon until they get off work. It's a small matter if others go hungry, but what if Dongbao goes hungry?"
The more Zhao Meiya thought about it, the more she felt that this was not possible. She took He Ruixue's hand and said, "Dongbao, can you change your third brother's unit? Even if he learns his craft, it won't be very good. You will be the one who suffers in the future."
He Qiusheng was anxious, fearing that the matter would fall through. "Mom, I promise I will study hard. Don't always look at people with old eyes."
"I am an old man, I will not use my old eyes to pick out the eyes of young people!
You usually cook sloppily. The potato shreds you cut are thicker than my fingers, and they don’t get cooked even after a few stirs in the pot. I’m worried Dongbao will get an upset stomach.”
"If I don't learn the cooking skills well, my master will not let me graduate. Dongbao, don't worry about mom, just keep talking."
He Ruixue smiled and said, "As for becoming a regular chef, according to the standard for an eighth-level chef, the monthly salary will be 35.5 yuan. It depends on your cooking skills. If the food tastes good, it will be higher."
After the cancellation of the occupational grade assessment, various factories have tried out new wage assessment standards, such as the new level 2 and level 3.
The salary of the new third-level worker is around 40 to 50 yuan, which is not as high as the legendary eighth-level worker’s salary, but it is also a preferential treatment for talented young technicians.
The average salary of an ordinary worker after entering the factory is 32 yuan, which is equivalent to the passing line of urban income.
As long as you can reach this amount, you can live a good life if you raise one or two children.
Even though He Chunsheng's family income is often around 40 or 50 yuan, it is definitely a high income in the eyes of others.
His family has many employees and many children, so they need tickets to buy everything, so they have to live a frugal life.
If you save for a year, you can buy a big item.
"How do you calculate the food supply?"
"Cooks are not considered heavy manual laborers. Their monthly ration is 32 kilograms, with a ratio of seven to three for coarse grains and fine grains. Children under ten years old receive 20 kilograms."
The regulations were different in different regions and periods. The county's quota was only 30 kilograms.
Zhao Meiya asked, "Dongbao, what about you?"
"I work for an institution or group, and my ration is 29 kilograms, which is more than enough to eat anyway."
"Then the fine grain you receive is only a little over eight kilograms a month. Wow, how much grain did you buy?"
“Mom, everyone says that my food doesn’t cost money, so forget it if you don’t believe me.
Third brother, if you've made up your mind, I'll take you to meet your future master. Remember to bring him two bottles of wine."
Wang Taozhi nodded. "Yes, there are also eggs and meat. Our chickens lay eggs diligently. You can bring half a basket over."
He Chunsheng added, "I still have a few packs of good cigarettes. Keep an eye out when you come in. If there's a problem with the light bulbs in his house, I'll have He Xiaotuan come and fix it."
He Qiu Sheng was slightly excited and agreed to their instructions one by one.
Looking at He Ruixue, he said eagerly, "Dongbao, thank you for thinking about me. When I learn the craft, you can come to my house for dinner every day."
Zhao Meiya expressed her disdain, "No, what do you eat at home? How can it compare to what Dongbao usually eats?
Since you get off work earlier than her, when you cook for your family, don't forget to run to the kitchen next door and help her prepare the meal so that Dongbao can eat it as soon as she comes back."
"Okay, wait until the weekend and I'll cook for her three meals a day."
Come on, by the time the third brother had finished his apprenticeship, Jiang Yanxu had already moved in. Does her family just need someone to cook?
But she did not spoil his fun. She expressed considerable anticipation and encouraged him again.
Seeing that he was still a little nervous, He Ruixue took the initiative to talk to him about Zhu Haihui's family affairs, reminding him not to speak casually and offend other people's taboos.
Even Zhao Meiya, who is surrounded by the best, could not help but be amazed by the story of Zhu Haihui's wife Xu Xiaohua, and felt very sorry that this person was not her own daughter-in-law.
What a good sucker!
If she married into the He family, Dongbao would have someone who cared for her wholeheartedly. She would have no idea how comfortable her life would be.
He Qiu Sheng listened carefully and took notes throughout the whole process.
This job is very important to him. If something goes wrong at the last minute, his mother will beat him to death.
In fact, with He Ruixue's advance invitation and He Qiu Sheng's eloquence and intelligence, although He Qiu Sheng was a little older, Zhu Haihui still drank the tea he offered and accepted him as his third apprentice.
He had few disciples, and one of them was his eldest son, who was more talented. He accepted him as his last disciple, intending to pass on all he had learned throughout his life.
As for He Qiu Sheng and another apprentice who paid to learn the craft, they were probably the so-called registered disciples.
I can teach, but only a little.
After returning, He Qiu Sheng was still in high spirits. He kept praising Master Zhu for how easy-going he was and how patient he was with his disciples. He did not dislike his low level of understanding in cooking at all.
As for He Ruixue, who had secretly paid the "private training fees" for him, she smiled slightly, keeping her achievements and fame to herself.
