Chapter 217: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature (Twenty-nine)
Isn’t it magical?
These young men claim to be Master Gu's apprentices.
At the age of seventeen, eighteen, or twenty, he was busy working around the clock with his sleeves rolled up.
Light the stove, wash the vegetables, coax the children, sweep the floor...
Brother Gu, who was used to "the male leading the outside and the female leading the inside", just felt messy in the wind.
The key point is that these young men just do some women's work, but they still rush to do it!
Why, doing housework for others is not a good thing?
Or do these young men love to work in the first place, and this is also the case at home?
Brother Gu's outlook on life was shaky. He said with a sneer, "You city people are so diligent!"
Huoshui covered his mouth: ... He must be from the city, he really knows how to play!
When all the apprentices heard this, they all started laughing.
diligent?
At home, which one of them is not the master who "doesn't help the oil bottle when it falls"?
There is a mother and sister at home, so there is no need to serve food yourself, and there is no need to hold chopsticks.
However, home is home and outside is outside.
Others are not his parents and will not support him.
If you want to learn skills from other masters, you must be quick-sighted, smart and sensible.
It was just helping the master pick up the children and doing housework. In the old society, those apprentices would have beaten the master's back and washed their feet.
In fact, even now, apprentices and apprentices are still different.
Apprentices can regard themselves as workers and do not try to please their masters.
As for the master, due to factory regulations, he cannot refuse to teach his apprentices skills just because they are disrespectful.
But technology and technology are also different.
If someone teaches you the basics, it counts as teaching.
As the saying goes, "The master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual."
This "cultivation" is not only about talent and hard work, but also depends on whether the apprentice is a good person!
Isn't it just to do some work? As long as the master is satisfied and is willing to give a few pointers, it will be worth the price of admission.
Just like the female fitter Han Tiexin, her skills improved by leaps and bounds with just a few instructions from her master.
It is estimated that when the factory takes another technical examination, she will be able to get a level 6 job!
Level six, although it is only one level higher than level five, is an existence that can be respected as a master.
The key is that wages, benefits, etc. will all be raised accordingly.
And, this is just the beginning.
As long as Han Tiexin continues to fawn over his master, he can still get some tips and his skills can be improved!
Perhaps in the near future, Han Tiexin will become the first eighth-level female fitter in a machinery factory.
As for Master Gu, hehe, he has long been freed from the restrictions of his level.
People, the highest level!
…
In the evening, Gu Qingcheng returned to the courtyard in a small jeep.
Everyone in the room heard the noise and ran out one after another.
Brother Gu is the fastest runner. He has many things to ask his sister.
Then, he saw such a scene——
The little jeep stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and a young apprentice jumped out first.
He did not rush into the house, but opened the car door.
He kept saying, "Master, slow down!"
This attitude is too attentive.
Huoshui:...What do you know? This is called kneeling and licking!
If you want to learn technology, you must learn to keep your head down.
Then, a woman with a big belly slowly got out of the car.
"Xiao Ni!"
Brother Gu was very excited when he finally saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face of stunning beauty.
"Brother? Why are you in the city? Is there something going on at home?"
Gu Qingcheng showed an appropriately surprised expression and asked with concern.
"No! It's just your sister-in-law. She's worried about you and asked me to come here to see you and bring you some food by the way!"
Brother Gu chuckled.
When he said "delivery food", he was somewhat proud.
Not all natal families can be so generous to their married daughters.
Also delivering food?
It would be good if married women are not allowed to fall behind.
Brother Gu also knows that, even in their rural areas, these vegetables, dried mushrooms, etc. are not worth much. They are just a handful of seeds and a lot of effort.
But in the city, drinking water costs money.
Fresh vegetables are sometimes not available even if you have money.
This gift from him is not shabby at all.
"Come on, come on, what are you doing with these? It's so tiring!"
Gu Qingcheng smiled and said to Brother Gu.
She didn't dislike it, she simply felt it was unnecessary.
Brother Gu was about to say something, but when he saw the actions of several apprentices, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
The young man who opened the door for Gu Qingcheng helped Gu Qingcheng get out of the car and walked around to the other side of the car.
Familiarly, he opened the car door and began to move things out.
Other young men were also very accustomed to running over to help.
There are packages of vegetables, baskets of eggs, and fresh game such as plucked pheasants and wild ducks.
This this--
Noticing Brother Gu's gaze, Gu Qingcheng glanced at those things and said with a smile, "The Erba Factory I went to this time is in the mountains. Their units grow their own vegetables, and the soldiers also go hunting in the mountains."
"I helped solve a technical problem and rushed back to the city without staying for dinner. Their leader felt very sorry and packed some stuff."
Brother Gu babbled, suddenly feeling that the "gift" he had brought was really nothing.
The young apprentice who helped open the door did not forget to speak to his master, "Master doesn't want it! But he is too enthusiastic."
"I can't stop it no matter what, I have to stuff it into the carriage!"
"If it weren't for the stuffing, there would probably be more stuff!"
Alas, people with great skills are respected wherever they go.
No wonder the ancients said, "In famine years, craftsmen will never die of hunger."
From now on, I will try my best to learn skills from my master!
The apprentices swore secretly while moving things.
Brother Gu:......
He didn't even know what to say.
It seems that the wife's plan will not work out.
Brother Gu is just honest and not stupid.
Besides, after being an old married couple for more than ten years, he still doesn’t understand his mother-in-law?
It's a pity that Xiaoni is so powerful that she doesn't need to be taken care of by her parents at all.
On the contrary, they are very eager to rely on Xiaoni for support!
"Master, are you going to stew chicken tonight?"
A certain young apprentice with fairly good cooking skills asked tentatively while holding the slaughtered game in one hand.
"Forget it, it's a bit late today, so we won't fire anymore!"
Gu Qingcheng looked at the sky and then at Brother Gu, "It just so happens that my brother is here, let's go have a good meal!"
"Let's go to the restaurant in Xijiekou. I haven't had braised pork in a long time!"
Gu Qingcheng now has a considerable status in the machinery factory, so a certain plan can be implemented.
"My treat! Just open it and eat!"
Gu Qingcheng looked like a rich man.
Although during this period of time, she has become accustomed to the service and filial piety of her apprentices.
But as a qualified "superior", it is still necessary to give appropriate favors.
What she wants is a reliable apprentice, not a humiliating slave.
"good!"
"great!"
Several young men cheered happily.
Their master is not only very skilled, but most importantly, he is also generous.
I will not blindly squeeze or blackmail my apprentices.
When it’s time to teach techniques, others will teach you.
If you benefit from it, your disciples will also benefit from it.
Such a master can definitely be called "good".
The apprentices were a little more sincere when they "served" me.
Brother Gu originally wanted to persuade him, but he felt that going to a restaurant was too wasteful.
But seeing how excited a few young men were, it was hard for him to pour cold water on them.
At most, he just needs to find a place where no one is around later. He reminds the girl: spend less! Don’t waste the money you make!
A group of people came to Xijiekou Hotel, entered the door, and found that there were not many customers.
Yes, it's already this time. It's almost past dinner time.
If it were half an hour later, the master chef would probably have to get off work.
Even so, the waiter muttered with a bad attitude: "What time is it? Are you still here to eat?"
"They are off work, shouldn't we be off work?"
However, the waiter did not dare to say it loudly.
It wasn't that her attitude had changed for the better, but that she recognized the nephew of the hotel manager among the crowd surrounding Gu Qingcheng.
Although he is a nephew, the leader's family only has three daughters, so the leader raised his nephew as a son.
Find a job for him and learn skills from his teacher.
Just half a month ago, the leader specially treated Master Gu to a meal at the restaurant.
During the dinner, all the waiters standing aside saw the leader's earnest attitude.
Therefore, at this moment, even if she was angry that the arrival of Gu Qingcheng and his team had delayed her from getting off work, she would only dare to whisper a few words behind her back.
"Okay, okay! There's still an hour left until get off work!"
Although the hotel manager doesn't like to get off work late, he doesn't tolerate the waiters below either.
After scolding the waiter, he also reminded him, "Master, please be careful and don't fool around just because you are in a hurry to get off work!"
Xijiekou Hotel and Wuxing Machinery Factory are not part of the same system, let alone have any affiliation.
However, Gu Qingcheng's skills were so good that they were spread throughout the major steel manufacturing plants.
It's better to have a good relationship than to offend someone to death.
Who has no children or relatives and doesn’t want to work as a factory worker?
This person may find someone else to ask for help at some point.
Hotel managers are the best at maneuvering and don't make mistakes easily.
"Um!"
The waiter pursed his lips, but still ordered the dishes according to Qingcheng's request.
She was about to take the list to the kitchen, but Gu Qingcheng shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The waiter gritted his teeth: Are you done yet?
I didn’t scold you, but you started to scold me?
She is indeed worried about the leader, but she is not really afraid.
She is a regular employee, so even if she offends her boss, she will not be fired!
"I heard that you have Meng Yao in your hotel, and his ancestral craftsmanship is particularly good at making braised pork!"
"I want her to take charge!"
The waiter couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Hey, this word seemed inexplicably familiar.
Why is there another idiot who orders a chef?
Do you really think this is the old society, where you can not only order dishes, but also order chefs and have dinner parties?
"She is an apprentice and has not yet started her apprenticeship. According to the regulations, she cannot take the spoon!"
"What rules? Why didn't I know?"
Waiter: ...There is indeed no explicit rule, but it is the hotel's convention.
Besides, if you don’t have a master, the craftsmanship will not be good, and the customers will be dissatisfied after eating it.
"I just want Master Meng to take charge of the cooking. Whether it's delicious or not, I'll accept it."
Gu Qingcheng said it was a willful thing.
Her uncle, an apprentice of a hotel manager, quickly stood up and said, "Yes! Listen to my master!"
The waiter gritted her teeth. Unwilling to give in, she called Meng Yao out.
When Gu Qingcheng saw Meng Yao, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: We haven't seen her for more than twenty days, why did she become like this?
