Aunt Zhong was just joking and wanted to take the opportunity to praise Gu Jinyao, but when she left, Gu Jinyao made her a bowl of steamed rice noodles.

Ouch, how embarrassing is this? As for the big meat and vegetables, it’s all money.

Gu Jinyao told her not to be polite. From now on, when they live here, neighbors will have to look after each other. If they refuse even a little meat or vegetables, they will get angry.

Gu Jinyao was right when he said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. In addition, the city is not as peaceful as the countryside. If you have the opportunity, you still have to build a good relationship with the people nearby. You may not be able to use them one day.

Aunt Zhong was not polite when she heard what she said, and told Gu Jinyao to come to her if he needed anything in the future. She had nothing to do anyway, and she usually took care of her grandson at home, so she was very free.

During lunch, everyone looked at the dishes on the table and naturally praised them.

Although the food in the store is usually delicious and fragrant, compared with what Gu Jinyao cooks, it's still a bit lacking.

You can't describe that feeling, but it's a little different anyway.

In fact, the employees in the store usually use oil with fairy water added to their meals. The only difference is that Gu Jinyao's cooking skills have improved.

It is not in vain that he has studied with Guo Kun for so long. Gu Jinyao has made great progress in terms of sword skills, fire Hou, and taste.

No longer a layman.

After dinner, Ji, Shaobei and others sat in the yard to bask in the sun and talk.

Hearing that Song Guangguang was engaged, Shang Hongyuan sighed and congratulated him.

When he was in the army, Song Guangguang was a soldier under Shang Hongyuan.

Song Guangguang's smile was a little unnatural and he nodded lightly.

Shang Hongyuan was unhappy when he saw him like this, "You kid, don't think one way on the outside. You're already engaged to another girl. You have to act like a man and be responsible."

How is Meng Xia? Shang Hongyuan just observed him. He is tall and good-looking. He is very busy and diligent when he comes back. I heard that he was a teacher before.

What's wrong with such a person? How can he be any worse than that Li Qiao?

This kid was born into blessings and doesn't know how to be blessed.

Although he is now retired from the army, Song Shiguang still has an instinctive fear of Shang Hongyuan.

He quickly explained: "No, I have let go of those things before."

Shang Hongyuan: "That's good. We are no longer in that circle. You have to let it go if you don't want to let it go."

Song Guangguang remained silent.

The few of them chatted for a while, and Shang Hongyuan and Chong Dayu were ready to leave. They had to go to work in the afternoon.

Ji Shaobei's unit was close, so he sent them out first. Then he told Gu Jinyao and planned to go to work, but was stopped by Song Guangguang.

"Brother Bei, Li Qiao wrote to me not long ago asking for your address. I told her where you work."

Ji Shaobei frowned, "Didn't I say not to reveal my information to that other party? This kind of thing will never happen again. If you quit, you will quit. I don't want to have any contact with the people before."

Song Guangguang hesitated to speak, and said apologetically: "I know, Brother Bei, I didn't think carefully this time."

In fact, Song Guangguang didn't want to say it, but he was overwhelmed by the fact that he received several letters in a row.

Ji Shaobei returned to the factory. As soon as he entered the door, Old Man Lin called him, "Shaobei, I have your letter."

letter?

Ji Shaobei took it and took a look, frowning unconsciously.

Old man Lin said: "Who wrote it for you?"

As soon as he looked at the handwriting on the envelope, he knew it was from a girl.

Ji Shaobei: "Former colleague."

He opened the letter on the way, read it casually, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it in the trash can on the roadside.

After Xiang Wenfeng and others arrived, preparations in the city accelerated again.

Everyone has only been busy for two days, and the sign in front of the door, as well as the tables and pots and stoves that will be used in the store are all ready.

Instead of burning firewood as most of the time in town, coal is burned here, which increases the cost, but is relatively more convenient.

On the day of the interview, Gu Jinyao, Xiang Wenfeng, Song Guangguang and Ji Lan were all sitting in the shop. Everyone was queuing up outside, holding their letters of introduction, waiting to be called in.

In this era, identity information is not as strict as in later generations. In order to avoid unnecessary things happening, those who come for interviews need to bring a letter of introduction from the Human Resources and Social Security Office or the commune and village committee.

When you come here, everyone immediately goes to the small room next door to get a number and enters after being called. This way, you don't have to queue up or fight to get a seat.

Of course, some people feel that if they come late, they will lose the opportunity if they are at the back of the queue.

In the past few days, more than 200 people have come to register for recruitment, and almost all of them came on the day of the interview.

Some were from nearby villages, some were from the city, and some came all the way after hearing the news.

The wages offered by Gu Jinyao and the others are not low. Not to mention the skilled noodle workers, the waiters alone earn 42 yuan a month. They also provide room and board and have one day off every week.

This salary is not much different from those of regular workers in the factory, but here you don't need to be an apprentice first and wait for others to quit before you can become a full-time employee. You can join directly and you will get this salary in the first month. If you do well in the future, you can get an increase.

Of course, if you don't do well, people can fire you immediately.

The interview started at eight o'clock in the morning, with a meal break in the middle, and ended at four o'clock in the afternoon.

More than 200 people applied, and one of ten was chosen.

Opening a shop in the city is different from that in the town. Business can be done from morning to night, so Gu Jinyao and the others planned to work in two shifts, opening the shop at six in the morning and finishing at eleven in the evening.

There are a lot of talents in the city. The four noodle chefs who work every shift are all experienced, and some of the waiters also have relevant experience. Unlike the girls and boys in the village, they are just a blank slate.

Four people were interviewed, each with their own opinions, ticking the ones they thought were good and crossing the ones they thought were not so good. Finally, the top twenty who were most recognized were selected, and the results were announced at the door the next day.

After the results are announced, the selected ones will come in to report, tell them their clothing sizes, and then order uniforms for work clothes. Then they can temporarily move into the dormitory and wait for the day after tomorrow to start work.

Of course, it’s okay not to live in the dormitory, but there will be an additional allowance of three yuan per month.

When planning two shifts, Gu Jinyao asked Song Guangguang to find another employee dormitory nearby.

It is a large courtyard of a unit. It was used as an office in the past. Now it has been moved out and it is now vacant, so I rented it to them.

The yard is large, water and electricity are provided, and the room is square and can be accommodated with just a bed.

Song Guangguang specially found someone to sort out and plan the place. Men and women were separated, and the bathrooms and toilets were clearly stipulated.

After everyone has moved in, I will mention two management issues. Work and life must be properly arranged without any chaos.

The day before the opening, Shang Hongyuan came with his wife and two sons.
