Chapter 43: The Tavern
No matter what kind of social form it is, there will be an unconscious fear and obedience to the people, people, or other creatures who control their own jobs.
As for those who can deduct and increase their own feed, this fear and obedience should be intensified.
This has been proven to be inevitable.
Chu Tianshu no longer pressed, but slowly left and went to the tavern again.
In the tavern, he turned around and ordered two side dishes, ordered a bottle of wine, and drank it slowly while it was warm.
When it was time for workers to get off work, workers walked out of the factory area tiredly, in twos and threes, walking in groups or alone.
Many people will go to the nearby pub and order a drink.
In recent days, beers imported from foreign countries have gradually gained popularity among the lower classes because they are cheap and the taste is not as pungent and unpleasant as local drinks.
In the past few days, Chu Tianshu hadn't seen many people drinking beer in this pub.
Today there are only four or five.
After sending away a wave of customers, the bartender in the tavern said to the cashier at the counter: "Why are there so many people drinking beer these days?"
"I've also sung this stuff, and it's quite unpleasant to drink. Why do they say it tastes good and feels good after drinking it?"
The tavern cashier chuckled: "What do you know?"
"Whether it tastes good or not depends on who you compare with."
"Have you ever had a drink?"
"I've had it." The wine boy nodded: "My master told me to drink it when I joined the shop as an apprentice. It tasted terrible."
Most of the local wines in Yun Dynasty are unpalatable to people who are not addicted to alcohol.
Many people drink not for the taste of the drink, but for the feeling of euphoria after drinking.
The taste of the wine itself can only be said to be a by-product.
"This beer..." The cashier took a spoonful of beer, drank it coldly, squeezed out a short "haha" sound of enjoyment from his throat, and then said: "This beer tastes bad."
"But it also depends on what it is compared to."
"Compared to your glutinous rice wine, it's certainly inferior."
"But compared to wine? This tastes amazing!"
The taste is more friendly, the price is cheaper, and it can meet people's demand for alcohol.
"I'm afraid all the workers will drink this stuff from now on." The accountant smacked his lips, drank another spoonful of beer, and went to greet the guests.
People were coming and going in the tavern, and the workers were discussing the Yuanwang Festival.
Many want to get together with their families, but some don't care about that day and only think about whether they can make more money.
Occasionally, two people would be noisy, and then they would relax after drinking.
Chu Tianshu drank a bottle of wine and sat in this pub for three hours.
Sit quietly without communicating with anyone, just listen.
Workers engage in heavy physical labor, sell their labor force, and supply themselves to the factory as carriers of goods. Then the service time is over, the supply of goods is completed, and they leave the factory.
The quality of the products they make has nothing to do with their workers.
Outside the factory, they have no interaction with the things made by their own labor force.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to have any subjective initiative to proactively improve their "skills".
Unless you are sick or have itchy skin.
This is just like Chu Tianshu working for Prince Chen's Mansion and working for the siblings Qi Yingzhi and Qi Zhongliu.
Within the specified time and on specific occasions, he would do what the other party asked him to do, and he didn't care if he was beaten.
But out of that environment, Chu Tianshu's thoughts were not about how to provide services so that the young master could pick up girls better, nor about how to complete Miss Six's instructions faster.
Whether Chu Tianshu at work or these workers, they are two completely different existences from "Chu Tianshu" himself or the "workers" themselves.
Therefore, when workers occasionally mention what happened in the factory during the day, they are mostly resentful.
The people in the factory, the things in the factory, and the work in the factory are not very pleasant meetings for the workers.
When mentioned, there will be some resentment innately.
This is normal.
But there are only a few people who talk about things in the factory.
More importantly, it’s about looking forward to your own life.
What's more recent is the situation at home.
Some people have saved money and want to make clothes for their whole family.
Some plan to buy themselves a new pair of shoes.
Some of them plan to take their families to have a nice meal.
Chu Tianshu listened to all kinds of words for three hours.
Generally speaking, although workers do not have particularly good prospects for tomorrow and the future, they are still acceptable.
And there is a hint of acceptance.
This means.
Generally speaking, even for these hard workers, life is generally acceptable.
Although it is not beautiful, it can indeed provide for the needs of a family without any major disaster.
This is also a symptom.
One, the market scale is expanding, and the life of industrial workers is becoming better.
Moreover, what is very interesting is that none of the workers had any rhetoric, and no one said whimsically about how much money they would be able to save in a few years, where they would buy a house, a motorcycle, and marry a beautiful concubine.
Or how many white-skinned slaves to buy.
This is the most important.
Because during periods of expansion and rise, it is difficult not to create an illusion.
When the market size of an industry is expanding, relevant personnel will benefit from the expansion of the market, and most of the income will show an upward trend.
Many people's income has increased several times.
Under such stimulation, it is difficult for people to maintain such sanity.
These workers generally have low educational levels, relatively shallow knowledge, and lack of entertainment in their lives.
Didn't you feel swollen after drinking alcohol?
There wasn't much bragging and spanking, and there were no fights because of conflicts over bragging.
Not even drunk.
This is simply not right.
Chu Tianshu didn't believe that everyone had such strong self-control.
Before the tavern closed, Chu Tianshu drunkenly put his shoulder on the shoulder of the bartender who was helping him out, closed his eyes, and started snoring.
"Old man Zhu, old man Zhu." The wine boy shouted, unable to bear the weight of Chu Tianshu: "Come here and help me, this man is drunk."
"Really?" The cashier came out from behind the counter: "Are you really drunk?"
"Isn't this nonsense? They are all snoring and falling asleep!"
"Hey, this is not easy to handle."
"Has this uncle drank a pot?"
"You care how much he drank?" The wine boy was dissatisfied: "Come here and help me, I can't bear it anymore, I'm almost exhausted."
"Okay, okay." Accountant Zhu took Chu Tianshu with a smile: "This is indeed drunk, as heavy as a dead pig."
"Put him in our inner room?" the bartender asked.
"Just lock him in the inner room, put some water on it, carry your urinal inside, lock the door outside for him, and ask him to pay for the drink tomorrow morning, and give him some more by the way.
As for the drink money, let’s just say he was drunk and ordered two dishes and one drink.”
"This is good." The wine boy clapped his hands and said, "Let's split the money equally!"
