Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

This is also the reason why the third uncle was so emotional.

Well, as a cook, you not only cook, but also study the art of speaking.

This saves me a lot of worry.

He not only took Cao Wei's agency fee, but also took the host's wedding money.

This money actually meant that he was not allowed to attend the wedding banquet. To say this, it was a bit unkind, but since the higher-ups said it was not allowed, the host family had no choice, and the third uncle also expressed understanding. Attending a wedding banquet? What wedding banquet? Don't you have to pay for a wedding banquet? Giving the wedding money is also good.

Look, he is so happy that his teeth are showing and his eyes are not.

Cao Wei was also happy.

In addition to the money given for the wedding banquet.

The screen in the background was also refreshed frantically.

【Positive emotions + ……】

All of them belong to the three uncles.

???

Ok?

Cao Wei took a look.

Oh, Lou the Scoring Machine Puppy

That's fine.

The third uncle's house.

"Old man, how are you?" As soon as they entered the room, the eyes of the whole family were on the third uncle.

The third uncle was shocked.

The third uncle waved his hand and said, "Hey, that's it. What are you doing here? Go to bed."

"Dad, now that you've done it, do you want to consider my marriage?" Yan Jiecheng asked with a flattering smile.

"What are you considering? How much did you earn this time?" The third uncle said dissatisfiedly, but after a while he changed the subject: "You should find a job first. It's not a big deal if you don't have a job. Girls won't look down on you."

"Really?" Yan Jiecheng's eyes lit up. He didn't have a reliable job right now, so he just found some odd jobs on the street. Once the monthly food allowance was paid, it was basically gone. He didn't want to stay in this hopeless life for even a day longer.

"Really? But once you enter the factory, we have to settle the bill. The workstation costs money..."

Before the third uncle finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng immediately patted his chest and assured: "Dad, don't worry, as long as there is a job, I will listen to you!"

"Okay, just remember what you said. Go do what you need to do."

Wait until the kids are gone.

The three aunts came over and asked: "How is it, how much did you earn today?"

"Tsk, not young or old." The third uncle waved his hand and raised his chin.

The third auntie immediately understood what was going on and filled the third uncle's teacup with water. The third uncle picked up the teacup, took a sip, and pretended to say "Pah" twice: "The host gave five dollars, and Cao Wei gave four dollars and fifty cents."

"Hiss..." The third aunt made an outstanding contribution to the cause of global warming: "You make money like this as a broker?"

"What are you thinking about?" The third uncle said unhappily, "In the past, brokers were particular about breaking three and then breaking two."

"If it works, I'll give you 30%, and if it doesn't, I'll give you 20%?"

"Which broker makes so much money? Stealing?" The three uncles were speechless: "3% means the buyer pays 3%, 2% means the seller pays 2%. That means out of 10 yuan, we get 50 cents at most. That's the rule."

"Then your 9.5 yuan is too much." The third aunt was a little scared.

It's really a bit outrageous. Just for this introduction, I get nine dollars and fifty cents?

"Hey, there are some rules here. Let's talk about Cao Wei first. That kid is probably just a new apprentice. The master gave him a standard of 10 yuan, which is not easy to accept. Even if he has the skills, his age is a hurdle. Besides, a -yuan meal also involves the level of the host."

"He's a great chef. After a tour, he will rely on these people to promote him. He can't make any breakthroughs. So I'm willing to give him 20%." The third uncle calmly held the teacup and analyzed to his wife.

"So you charged him four dollars and a half..."

"That two dollars and a half is my face money! It's just this time. From now on, it will be two dollars."

"Then she's not young anymore." The third aunt thought about it. After all, it was just a waste of time talking. Let alone two dollars, she would do it even for fifty cents.

What she didn't understand was how much value there was in these two dollars. Knowing a host who could give ten dollars was a resource in itself. She just thought that two dollars was already a lot.

"You don't understand this, right? It's a big deal to know the host who accepts ten dollars."

"You're just lucky."

"Go away, I can't explain this to you."

"Hey, tell me more, why did the master give you so much?"

"Why give so much? To keep it quiet. Aren't the leaders advocating thrift and diligence now? Think about it, if you are thrifty, you can hire a chef who charges ten dollars?" The third uncle's voice was a little lower: "I heard that the host only arranged two tables, but they were all full of fish and meat. The host didn't want me to go, so he gave me this red envelope. I can be considered to have earned it."

"You are not allowed to go? This is too overbearing." The third aunt was a little dissatisfied. If she went, she could pack some leftovers and bring them back.

"That's their family dinner. What am I going to do? I have to give money. Is that reasonable?" The third uncle flicked the red envelope in his hand and said, "Here. Keep it. I'll have to spend some money on Yan Jiecheng later."

"This job is too expensive. Our family doesn't have much left after buying it."

"I'll ask the old man later and get Yan Jiecheng an apprenticeship status first."

"Apprentice? Is that appropriate?"

Apprentices are also called temporary workers.

Sometimes, after the superiors assign tasks, the workload exceeds the target, but the staffing is unwilling to relax. Therefore, the term "apprentice" is used to recruit a group of people to help with the work and learn skills. Later, when the factory expands and positions are available, these temporary workers can be converted to regular employees.

Therefore, apprentices in some factories are quite popular.

For example, the steel rolling mill is thriving.

If you don't want to be an apprentice, then there is only one left, who can directly replace you. For example, Qin Huairu took over Jia Dongxu's position. Now she is also an apprentice, but as long as she passes the assessment, she can be directly converted to a regular employee, as she already has a position.

Of course, there are various kinds of transactions involved here, but I won’t go into details for now. There is no need to talk about it either, as those who understand will understand.

"Why not? When the time comes, we can get some money and give it to Matchmaker Li to help put in a good word for him. We can say that Yan Jiecheng works in a steel mill. If he can get a female worker, we can have two working couples, and we won't have to worry."

"What if we can't get it?"

"You can't blame me if you can't get it. I've tried my best. I can only look for it slowly."

"How much does an apprentice cost?"

"It's hard to say. I'll go ask the old man later. Maybe he won't accept my money."

Just kidding, an eighth-level worker still has to get a temporary worker position.
