Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

The county theater troupe is located on North Street, only a few dozen meters away from Bobai Normal University.

The full name of the county theater troupe is the county tea-picking troupe. Its predecessor was the county cultural center. In November 1959, it was changed to the county art troupe. Then it was changed to the county literary and art guidance troupe in 1961, and then it was changed to the county theater in 1965. The artistic troupe was not changed to the county tea-picking troupe until the beginning of this year.

On this day, Deng Shirong came to the county theater troupe again and found Director Zhou who had not gone out to perform.

The two parties were polite and after drinking a few cups of tea, they got down to business.

Deng Shirong said: "Captain Zhou, my eldest granddaughter was born two days ago!"

Captain Zhou quickly picked up the tea and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Jiu. I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

Deng Shirong smiled and picked up the tea and touched it with him. After finishing the cup of tea, he continued: "I came here this time to implement what I mentioned to you last time. I plan to do it on the lunar calendar." I’ll give my eldest granddaughter a full moon party on November 17th, and ask your troupe to perform on that day. Is that okay?”

Captain Zhou said with a smile on his face: "Of course, no problem. The song for the performance is "One Flower". Uncle Jiu, do you think it suits you?"

Hearing this, Deng Shirong laughed and said, "This song is good, so I'll make it this one."

Captain Zhou smiled and said: "As long as Uncle Jiu is satisfied, our troupe will be there on time on the 17th next month."

Deng Shirong said: "Well, the room will still be the same room you stayed in last time. I haven't dismantled the stage I built last time!"

Captain Zhou said: "That's good. Our troupe has gone to the countryside to perform quite often, but the most comfortable place to stay is at Uncle Jiu's house. Of course, what the young and old girls in our troupe will never forget the most is, Uncle Jiu, your skills are comparable to those of a chef."

Deng Shirong said cheerfully: "When you come, I will personally cook food for you and make sure you are satisfied."

Captain Zhou smiled and said: "Then I will first thank Uncle Jiu for the members of our troupe!"

After the two of them finished talking about business, they drank tea and chatted for about ten minutes before Deng Shirong said goodbye and left.

…

Deng Shirong's family did not stay in the county for long. A week after the child was born, they packed up and prepared to take the car back to their hometown.

Before going back, Deng Shirong came diagonally across the street again to ask the doorman Uncle Zhang for a chimney to burn cigarettes, and chatted for a while.

Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and said, "Brother Zhang, our family will be taking a bus back to our hometown later. Please help me keep an eye on my house and don't let those young people sneak in."

Zhang Guoan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to take advantage of your house."

Deng Shirong lit a match and lit the tobacco, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said: "When I go back this time, I will probably spend the New Year in my hometown before coming back. At that time, I may let my eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law stay here in the county. If you want to do some business, if this business is really successful, you will definitely need to hire a few people to help.

Therefore, please, Brother Zhang, please keep an eye on me during this period and recommend a few suitable candidates to me when I need it. "

Zhang Guoan couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this. Today is not like the later generations. As long as you are not lazy and don't mind the low salary, you can find work wherever you want. If rural people in this era want to find a job, then it is really Thousands of difficulties.

Now, Deng Shirong asked him to help recommend a few suitable candidates. For Zhang Guoan, that was a great thing that could be used as a favor.

Therefore, Zhang Guoan responded with a very positive attitude: "Uncle Jiu, it is definitely no problem to recommend candidates, but I just don't know what your recruitment criteria are?"

Deng Shirong revealed a little bit and said: "My plan is to open a hotel. First of all, I need to recruit a security manager. This profession does not require any work. The only function is to calm down the place and prevent others from coming to the hotel to cause trouble."

Zhang Guoan understood immediately after hearing it. Private hotels are not like state-owned hotels. What he fears most is someone causing trouble. Asking someone to come back to calm things down is very necessary and a very smart approach. He immediately clapped his legs and said: "Uncle Jiu , I really have a suitable candidate for this profession. He is a cousin of mine who is only two years older than me. He has a high prestige in our village. If your restaurant invites him to take over, he will be the one who dares to cause trouble. Probably very few.”

Deng Shirong was very satisfied when he heard this. He was looking for just such a person: "Brother Zhang, then I will leave this career to your cousin. We will discuss the specific remuneration in detail when my hotel opens. "

Zhang Guoan nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. Are there any other positions that we are recruiting for?"

Deng Shirong put the tobacco into the mouth of the chimney again and said: "The other thing is to hire a master chef and two waiters. The master chef only needs to be good at cooking and listen to instructions. The waiters must be diligent, have good facial features, and be women between 18 and 25 years old. , it is best to be proficient in Diluo and Hakka.”

Although he has initially trained his nephew in cooking skills, currently his nephew's ability is no problem in making home-cooked stir-fries, but it is still a little bit difficult to become a master chef in a restaurant. After all, the master chef in a restaurant can cook at home. Cooking is still different.

Let’s not talk about taste, just talk about speed. The two are not on the same level.

As a chef in a restaurant, you cannot serve food quickly during peak customer traffic. Unless your food is so delicious that others cannot replace it, few customers will be willing to wait for a long time.

Therefore, if my nephew wants to become a qualified master chef, he must train as a chef in a restaurant for a period of time.

Only by practicing the speed of cooking can you become a master chef in your own right.

As for the waiters, we cannot all use our own relatives. It is still necessary to hire two local waitresses from the county.

After all, this era is not like later generations. Hakka has become the common language in the county. There are still quite a lot of people in the county who speak Diluo. Hiring two local female waiters who are proficient in Diluo can reduce a lot of trouble.

After hearing this, Zhang Guoan felt confident and said, "Okay, I have suitable candidates for these positions. When your hotel is established, I will recommend them to you."

Deng Shirong was filled with emotion. Having a well-connected local to help with the recruitment process really helped him get twice the result with half the effort in recruiting workers. He nodded and said, "Then it's settled. When my hotel is built next year, I'll talk to you, Brother Zhang." Recruitment matters.”

Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "No problem, then I will wait for your good news. You don't have to worry about me. The people I recommend to you will definitely be of good character."

Deng Shirong took a few puffs of cigarette again, then put the chimney aside and said: "Brother Zhang, you have fought against Japanese soldiers. Of course I believe your words 100%, so I will have to trouble you next." ha!"

Through this period of contact, Deng Shirong naturally knew that the uncle Zhang in front of him was a serious veteran who had killed Japanese soldiers on the battlefield.

If he hadn't had a low educational level and didn't want to cause trouble to the country when he retired from the army, so he took the initiative to turn down the good job that the country had arranged for him, then his current status would be more than just being a janitor in the court.

Zhang Guoan laughed and said: "What trouble are you talking about? Uncle Jiu, you are just giving me a favor."

"My luggage has been packed over there, so I won't talk to you anymore, Brother Zhang. Let's see you next year!"

"Okay, have a nice trip!"

"Thanks!"
