Chapter 89
Grandma Yang stayed at home, while Father Hu and Mother Lan took the children to the town to "find jobs." On the way, they happened to introduce the general terrain of the place to them, so that they would not be unable to find their home when they came back at night.
"The town is not big, and the streets closest to us are all here, one in the north and south, and two in the east and west. They are all small stores. The starting time of work is late and the finishing time is early. Overall, the working time in a day should be
About six hours, the specifics will of course depend on the requirements of the boss."
"People here are used to taking a nap, and there is generally no business at noon. You have to buy food when you go home, so remember to ask the boss to settle your wages twice a day. The place is small and there are not so many requirements, so this matter is not a problem."
"Remember, the money you earn must be earned through hard work, and cannot be earned without hard work."
"Also, only one person can work in the same shop."
"Finally, the food you bought for lunch should be eaten together by everyone. The two of us and your grandma Yang will also eat together, so the quantity cannot be too small." Hu Zhou said with a smile.
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, and the rest is up to you! Come on!"
After saying that, Hu Zhou and Rancho waved to them together, turned around and left without any regrets.
Heartless parents, weak and pitiful little kid.
The six little cubs looked at the three streets in confusion and trembling.
"...I have an ominous feeling. Can I really make money here?"
"What kind of job can you find here? Could it be a restaurant waiter?"
"The shops here are so small. Do they really lack staff? Why do I feel like it's not easy to be a restaurant waiter?"
"Ahem, it's already eight o'clock now. Let's go our separate ways. If we waste any more time, it won't be enough."
Everyone talked to each other, and after seeing the scale of a small town street for the first time, they finally realized the difficulty of the task.
Time was running out, so everyone dispersed. Most of the others went directly into a store to ask about the situation, but Jiang Xiaobai felt there was no rush and planned to take a look around first.
In fact, it's still a bit early now, and not many are open except some food stores.
The shops in the town are very convenient and down-to-earth, such as barber shops and nail salons, restaurants, small supermarkets, clothing stores, express delivery stores, beverage stores, and a small department store. You can see it from the billboards outside.
I saw there was a movie theater inside.
This kind of department store will not accept temporary workers for two days.
So what kind of stores will accept them?
If we discard the element that the shopkeeper only accepts people because he is kind-hearted, then all that remains is that he is too busy to take care of people when there are many people.
But if there are many customers throughout the day, the boss should have hired regular employees long ago, and will not retain them even if the staff is full.
Only stores that have time slots and customers flock in after the time limit will accept people.
Today and tomorrow are weekends, and most students and employees will have a day off...
The restaurant may accept people, but it's not clear which one is doing well. You have to find someone to find out. But even if you go there, you can only do the job of cleaning tables, sweeping and ordering food. Jiang Xiaobai feels that this is not suitable.
Jiang Xiaobai was thinking while scanning the shops on both sides purposefully, and stopped when he reached "Xin Yue Tea".
This is a milk tea shop. There is a billboard at the door, and the sign of the store is pink and girlish. This shop is slightly larger than the ones next to it, so it looks like it should be doing a good business.
"Hello, is the store hiring temporary workers?"
The glass door was half open, and no one could be seen inside. It seemed that it had not officially opened yet, but had just opened. Jiang Xiaobai made a sound at the door first, and then walked in.
The cameraman did not follow immediately, but stood outside the door and recorded through the glass.
"Temporary worker? I..."
There was a man at the counter who was bending over to pack his things. After hearing the sound, he stood up in confusion, but when he saw Jiang Xiaobai, he was stunned for a moment and seemed a little lost.
This person who may be the boss is a girl in her twenties, with a round face and a slightly chubby face. She is wearing an apron and holding a small bucket in her hand. She is trying to think of something after seeing Jiang Xiaobai.
"You look familiar. I seem to have seen you somewhere... You said you wanted to be a temporary worker? How many days can you work?"
She tried hard to think about it, but couldn't remember it and simply gave up.
"Only these two days, I will leave town in two days."
"...Two days of temporary work, you are too temporary, it's like doing it for fun."
The girl was speechless and wanted to laugh.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled sheepishly, "Because of time constraints...can I stay here? Although I have no experience, I can learn."
"My business is okay, but I don't need to recruit people, because there are only more customers in the middle of the afternoon. Well, these two days happen to be weekends, so I will be busier. If you don't mind, then you can
Come here this afternoon, and we’ll talk about tomorrow in the evening.”
The female boss made the decision readily.
She will be busier on weekends, and this girl is also very beautiful, which may make the store's business better. So she can accept people, but there is no one to have customers in the morning, so let her come over in the afternoon, which can also save her morning wages.
.
"You come over at half past one, and you'll be fine by five or six at most. I'll give you 30 yuan for the afternoon, do you think that's okay?"
The female boss thought about it and originally wanted to say 20 yuan, but she changed it to 30 yuan.
Four hours and thirty yuan would definitely not be enough to see in City S where Jiang Xiaobai was located, but in this small town, it seems to be OK.
So Jiang Xiaobai agreed, and after making an appointment to come over to work at one o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xiaobai left and continued walking around the town.
When he reached the intersection of the main road and an east-west road, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to see something red on the left side of the road in the distance, like a carpet.
Has a new store opened?
With a thought in his heart, Jiang Xiaobai walked towards him.
The five characters "Lemon Tree Internet Cafe" gradually came into view.
It occupies a large area, has a brand-new facade, and the exterior decoration style is emerald green. There are two green trees standing at the door. Of course, the trees are fake, and Jiang Xiaobai cannot tell whether they are lemon trees or not.
It is indeed newly opened, but it must have been yesterday or the day before yesterday, because there are still some red firecracker shells on the ground that have not been swept away.
It's only early eight o'clock, but there are already some people sitting inside, and you can see shaking heads outside.
Internet cafe...
Jiang Xiaobai was still worried at first. The business in the store in the morning was generally not good, and people came in the afternoon. But she had already booked a milk tea shop in the afternoon. It was obviously not easy to find a job in the morning.
But if you can't find it, it means there is no food for lunch.
