Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Five p.m.

In a masonry and tiled house in Bobai New Village.

On a square table, there is a plate of pork head meat, a plate of fried peanuts, and a plate of seasonal vegetables. Zhang Guangzong, who is 54 years old this year, is sitting there leisurely drinking a small drink.

While he was drinking leisurely, Zhang Guangzong suddenly heard his cousin shouting from outside the door: "Third uncle, are you at home?"

Zhang Guangzong put down the wine bowl and responded: "I'm drinking. Guoan, you're here just in time. Come in and have a drink with me."

Soon, his cousin Zhang Guoan walked in, looked at the food and wine on the table and said, "Hey, third uncle, what day is it today? There's even pork head!"

"My daughter-in-law brought this to me."

As Zhang Guangzong spoke, he took a peanut and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it and cursed with a smile: "You are taking the bowl and chopsticks by yourself. Do you want me to help you get it?"

Zhang Guoan was not polite. He went to the side and brought the bowls and chopsticks. He picked up the wine bottle next to him and poured it. While pouring it, he said: "Uncle San, you are leading a carefree life. You drink a little wine every day. You are much better than me." ”

Zhang Guangzong picked up the wine bowl and touched it with him, and said: "You are eating commercial food now. I can't compare with you. If it weren't for the fact that my children are still filial and bring me some wine and food from time to time, I can't even drink." get up."

Zhang Guoan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Third uncle, I don't know you yet, so don't call me poor in front of me. If you want to go out and make money based on your ability, I'm afraid even the young people in the village can't compare with you. ”

Zhang Guangzong waved his hand and said: "I'm old and don't want to bother anymore. My wish now is to drink two bowls of wine comfortably every day."

Zhang Guoan picked up a piece of pork head and ate it, and said, "Uncle Third, I came here today because I actually have a job I want to introduce to you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Not interested in!"

Zhang Guangzong didn't even listen, so he just shook his head and said: "We are all people who know our destiny. How many years do we have to live? While we can still move and our teeth are okay, hurry up and eat more delicious food. Drink a few bowls of wine, so you won’t lose money when you go underground.”

Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "Third uncle, don't be too busy to refuse. The job I introduced to you doesn't require you to do anything. You just sit there and eat and drink every day. It won't delay your enjoyment, and you can get a salary every month." A salary, are you sure you don’t want to do this kind of job?”

Zhang Guangzong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed and cursed: "Guoan, if you dare to make fun of your third uncle, are you itchy?"

Zhang Guoan pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth. While chewing it, he said, "Uncle Third, how dare I make such a joke with you? Everything I say is true."

Seeing that his cousin didn't look like he was joking, Zhang Guangzong couldn't help but ask: "What kind of job are you talking about?"

Zhang Guoan said: "Go to a hotel to be a security manager."

Zhang Guangzong asked in confusion: "The hotel's security manager? What kind of position is this? Does the hotel have this position?"

Zhang Guoan explained: "Uncle Third, this security manager is just a title. You have only one job, and that is to ensure that no unscrupulous people in society are allowed to cause trouble in the hotel.

As long as you, Third Uncle, can do this, you can eat and drink in the restaurant every day and get an extra salary every month. What do you think of this job? "

Zhang Guangzong said excitedly: "This job is good. I have delicious food and drink every day. I am willing to do it even if I don't get paid."

He didn't talk about whether he could meet the hotel's requirements at all, because there was no need to mention it at all. He wouldn't dare to say it in other places, but in this three-acre land in Bobai County, the hotel he Zhang Guangzong wanted to protect had Who doesn't have the guts to make trouble?

Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "I knew that you, Third Uncle, would be interested. I have reserved this position for you. After the hotel is built, you can go to work."

Zhang Guangzong asked: "Where is this hotel owner from? Where is the hotel built?"

Zhang Guoan said: "The owner of the hotel is from Songshan Commune. The hotel is built diagonally opposite the People's Cinema. You can go to work in about three months."

Zhang Guangzong picked up the wine bowl, touched it with his cousin, and said, "Thank you, this job is really suitable for me. I can go to work at any time."

Zhang Guoan smiled and said: "Third uncle, you are out of town. Between our uncle and nephew, who is drinking with whom?"

Zhang Guangzong smiled and said: "Well, drink!"

…

When we came out of Third Uncle's house, it was already dark.

Zhang Guoan did not go home, but walked towards another house in the village.

What he was looking for was a brother of the same race, named Zhang Guofu. He was originally the chef of the state-owned hotel in Shuangfeng Commune. Because of some things, he offended the person in charge of the restaurant, and then he was constantly made things difficult by the person in charge. This brother of his own race gave him to him in anger. A good beating.

In the end, I got angry, but I also lost my job.

Last year, when Uncle Jiu mentioned that he wanted to hire a chef, Zhang Guoan immediately thought of this brother of the same clan. Because he didn't know when the restaurant would open before, Zhang Guoan never mentioned this matter to this brother of the same clan.

Now that the approximate opening date of Jiu Shu Restaurant is already known, Zhang Guoan plans to take advantage of this opportunity to go home and talk to the other party first.

When he arrived at Zhang Guofu's house, he was sitting in front of his house chatting with his wife and children.

After greeting each other, Zhang Guoan got down to business: "Seventeen, I came here today because I have a job I want to introduce to you. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

Hearing this, before Zhang Guofu expressed his opinion, his wife's eyes lit up and she rushed to answer: "Brother Six, he must be willing to do it. I wonder what kind of job it is?"

Zhang Guoan said with a smile: "Still doing the same job as Qi Qi and working as a chef in a restaurant."

Zhang Guofu said in surprise: "Brother Six, are you serious? Which restaurant is short of chefs?"

Zhang Guoan said: "The hotel hasn't been built yet. I came here today just to say hello to you in advance. It will take about three months to build the hotel. If you are willing to work, I will give you the position of chef." You keep it.”

Without his wife rushing to answer, Zhang Guofu quickly expressed his position: "Of course I am willing to do it. Is this hotel state-owned?"

Zhang Guoan shook his head and said: "It's not state-owned, it's a restaurant owned by a friend of mine. Since you are willing to do it, then do it well and don't embarrass me, okay?"

Zhang Guofu patted his chest and said, "Brother Six, don't worry. You know I'm never lazy when I work, and you know my skills. I promise not to embarrass you, Brother Six."

Zhang Guoan nodded and said: "Of course I believe you in this, then try your best to arrange things at home during this period. When the hotel needs people, I will come back and notify you to go to work. As for wages, we will discuss it then. I believe my friend will not treat you badly."

"Okay, Sixth Brother, I promise to be available for duty at any time."
