Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 115 Find Her a Job
Can't find a place to stay?
Doesn't exist!
There are actually quite a lot of job opportunities along the provincial roads now.
Moreover, from what Jiang Huihui said, as long as food and accommodation are provided, the salary amount doesn’t matter. Isn’t that simple?
Jiang Tian smiled and served a lunch box to her aunt's second sister, asking her to eat first, as everyone coming from far away is a guest. She was not familiar with Jiang Huihui, and she did this mainly to give face to her aunt.
Seeing Jiang Tian bring over a large lunch box and specially pick up a piece of braised pork ribs, Jiang Xiuxiu immediately looked at Jiang Tian with gratitude.
Jiang Huihui deliberately didn't come for dinner, just to appear haggard and pitiful. Then her brother-in-law would see how pitiful she was and would definitely take her in.
Unexpectedly, Hu Jianguo didn't come to the restaurant to help today. She looked so pitiful due to hunger, but no one appreciated her. Wasn't it like she was throwing her seductive eyes to a blind man?
Smelling the tempting aroma of the braised pork ribs, Jiang Huihui swallowed and picked up the plate reluctantly.
Ever since the lunch box stall at home was upgraded and moved to the store, people from the neighborhood no longer need to bring their own lunch boxes to the store to eat lunch boxes, unless they are taking them home to eat.
The store specially bought more than a hundred deep-mouthed yellow-colored vegetable plates, put two spoonfuls of rice on them, covered them with vegetables, and drizzled them with a spoonful of braised meat broth. The nearby residents all like this dish. Recently, the number of local people who come to their store to eat has almost exceeded the number of passing tourists.
Such delicious food was served to relatives without blinking an eye. It seems that Hu Qiongfang's small restaurant is making a lot of money.
Jiang Huihui ate her meal while looking around the small restaurant.
In fact, this restaurant is not small at all. The layout inside was designed by Jiang Tian based on the layout of fast food restaurants in later generations.
The cashier counter is right at the entrance. In order to simplify the process and speed up the serving of meals and dishes, Jiang Tian designed four set meals for the store, two with meat dishes and two with pure vegetarian dishes.
When guests come in, they first go to the cashier to choose a set meal. After paying according to the number of people, the cashier will give you a meal ticket of a different color. Give the meal ticket to the person who serves the food, and he will know what dishes to serve you.
This is much faster than having customers go to the food window and choose one by one.
Except for the food serving window and the separate braised food window, the entire hall is connected, with only eight pillars in the middle left to support the frame.
These eight pillars originally seemed a bit of a hindrance, so Jiang Tian talked to her uncle and built eight round tabletops along the edges of the pillars. In this way, the pillars that were originally useless and easy to bump into people were suddenly turned into eight round tables. Combined with the customized arc-shaped benches, one table can seat at least eight people, and the eight round tables add 64 seats.
In addition to these round tables, other places in the hall are not decorated with the square tables commonly seen in rural areas, but rows of narrow wooden tables with space for people to sit and eat on both sides.
At a glance, the hall could hold at least two hundred .
Even next to the wall, there is a circle of narrow tables against the wall. The wooden benches underneath are not the heavy and bulky benches commonly seen in the countryside, but narrow ones. They may not be as comfortable to sit on as big benches, but they are particularly light and compact.
To build a restaurant like this, including the building and furniture, it would cost at least three thousand dollars, right?
Jiang Xiuxiu, what an idiot!
She only gets a hundred yuan salary every month, look how happy she is!
If she were Hu Jianguo's wife, she would definitely run the restaurant herself. Hu Qiongfang is a divorced sister-in-law with children, and without a husband, wouldn't she have to rely on her two brothers to support her in the future? In the final analysis, she can afford to open such a big restaurant, isn't it because of the support of Hu Jianguo's brothers?
Anyway, after she marries Hu Jianguo, she will definitely take back this restaurant and become the boss herself.
Sister-in-law? Just give her a salary of 100-80 yuan a month. Living in her parents' home with her family, and still having the nerve to ask her brother and sister-in-law to work for her? Pah! You wish!
Before Jiang Huihui even set foot into the Hu family, she was already thinking about how to deal with her sister-in-law once she got in.
After dinner, Jiang Huihui brought up the old matter again. Anyway, she didn't plan to go back to the village this time.
Either Jiang Xiuxiu finds her a job, or she will have to beg on the streets.
Jiang Tian rolled her eyes and really wanted to say, "Who cares if you die?" She hated being morally blackmailed the most.
She had only heard of divorced women returning to their parents' home, but had never heard of a divorced woman running to her married eldest sister's home to ask for shelter.
Brother-in-law and sister-in-law are easy to make people think of bad things. How can you feel comfortable living in your sister's house?
Isn’t it just about finding a job with provided food and accommodation?
Jiang Tian packed a lunch box and went out, then immediately found a good place for Jiang Huihui.
It was only after she moved here that she realized that there were already "agents" along the provincial roads in this era.
However, these "agents" are not the kind that open stores. They are the kind that have extensive local connections and take on a variety of "businesses", including matchmaking, house finding, and job hunting. They do everything.
There was an old lady near her house who worked as a middleman.
This old lady really lives a straightforward life. She earns her own money and spends it on her own without ever putting herself in a difficult position.
It is said that the old lady originally lived with her son and daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law disliked her as an old woman. She would either smash the pot or turn her face away when cooking, as if having an old lady like her in the family would make the family go bankrupt.
Well~How can we live together?
The house where the old lady and her son lived was the ancestral home passed down by her husband's family. She couldn't drive her son and daughter-in-law out. The old lady was also stubborn, so she simply used her own pocket money to hire someone to build two thatched houses with mud brick walls on the side of the provincial road, and moved in alone.
This time, the son and daughter-in-law were slapped in the face with a loud slapping sound.
The son almost knelt down and begged her to go home and live with him. Otherwise, they were living in a big brick and tile house while his mother was living alone in a thatched hut. It would be so ugly if it got out that word got out. Would he still want to live?
The old lady doesn't care whether her son has face or not.
I once gave you face, but you are shameless, so don't blame others for stepping on your faces and laughing at you.
The son and daughter-in-law thought that the old lady had moved out alone, couldn't farm, and couldn't support herself, so sooner or later she would have to give in and go home.
Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't have the strength to plow the fields, but she was a good talker.
She goes from one house to another all day long, acting as a matchmaker for one family and selling a house for another. This old lady is really generous and even trades in "old things". Not to mention, after all this trading, she earns no less than her son and daughter-in-law in a year.
Anyway, as long as she is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry, and her life in her later years will be so leisurely.
Some people have advised her to be submissive to her son and daughter-in-law. She is so stubborn now and is rubbing her son's face on the ground. When she is old and cannot move, who will care about her life or death?
The old lady pouted and retorted to the person who came to persuade her.
"I've lived a carefree life for most of my life. What's wrong with me suffering for a few days before I die? I'm willing!"
"It's better than being depressed like this for the rest of your life. When you get old, your children may not be willing to take care of you, humph~"
Jiang Tian admired this old lady very much.
Whenever I encounter problems, I am willing to ask her for help.
If nothing else, she would be happy to give money to such an old lady.
