Chapter 152 New job

At the beginning of December 1978, it was another good day to count the fruits of victory and enjoy the joy of harvest.

Last month, Hong Yanwu's movie ticket sales exceeded the target, making a total of 66,000 yuan in net profit.

His subordinates who ate in front of the cinema successfully doubled their income, which was equivalent to another double-pay month.

"Tangxin'er" and "Ciermei", because of the benefit of "Two Heads" this time, their profits increased twice as much as usual, and they each divided 6,000 yuan.

This not only made "Tang Xin'er" sing with joy all day long, but also made "Cier Mei" smile so hard that she narrowed her eyes and even spoke to the "little landowner" with a strong voice.

This can completely explain a problem. Money is not only the courage of heroes, it is also the courage of women.

The most praiseworthy person is "Er Head". According to reports, this guy got a bonus of 2,000 yuan.

But he was not alone in the money. He even shared five hundred dollars with "Big Eyed Lamp", "Stretch Out" and "Roller" without any hesitation. Including "salary", each of them got it.

There must be more than 800.

According to his approach, it can be said that these four brothers are already one step ahead in realizing happy communism.

Although Hong Yanwu felt that this was a bit unrealistic and thought that it would be difficult to maintain it like this as time went by, he still admired it in his heart.

Because this action shows his character. Since such a person is working for him, can he still feel uneasy?

Of course, when it comes to handling money, Hong Yanwu doesn't have to worry too much now. He still runs between Wangfujing and Liulichang, buying famous calligraphy and paintings, and the three treasures of seal stones.

And because he was no longer in a hurry, he slowly picked it up and said hello to everyone he knew well in each store.

He said that as long as there were rare large pieces of Tianhuang, chicken blood, or paintings by Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Fu Baoshi, Li Keran, and Huang Binhong, they would definitely be kept for him.

To be honest, he felt quite satisfied at this time. He was dreaming about opening a museum of stone seals, calligraphy and painting for the rest of his life.

At that time, as the prices of these things rise, various media outlets will surely rush to report on it.

He must also be known as a literary and entertainment expert. He must also appear on a TV station to do a few programs and listen to the hosts calling him "teacher".

Teacher Ma deals with antiques, so what does that mean? Can you compare with him?

The blue and white flowers from the official kilns are only measured in tens of millions. At most, they are tied with the Tianhuang in his hands. But these calligraphy and paintings are measured in hundreds of millions. We are as good as his ten official kilns!

Thinking about the good things about being in the limelight, I felt extremely happy. Hong Yanwu was a good teacher and wanted to educate some "sugar-hearted children".

"Sister, learn from me. You can also buy some calligraphy, paintings, and seal stones. You know how to keep money foolishly. That money is nothing. It will only become more and more valuable. Do you understand that rare things are valuable? Maslow's needs

Do you understand the hierarchy theory? Buying these things is like the stamps in our hands, which can keep rising. At the same time, it also reveals taste and cultivates personal cultivation..."

"Tang Xin'er" who accompanied him to the store nodded modestly. "Well, that makes sense..."

But then, he stretched out his delicate hand and took away the two scrolls that Hong Yanwu had just received for a thousand dollars.

It was a picture of a lady by Qi Baishi and a picture of a tiger by Xu Beihong.

As we all know, Qi Baishi's shrimps and Xu Beihong's horses are the most famous. But from a certain perspective, the reason for this is not only that they painted these two things vividly, but also because they painted these two things the most.

In fact, the price of subjects like this, which the painter rarely attempts, is often higher.

So Hong Yanwu's smiling look immediately turned into dumbfounded.

"Oh, oh, what are you doing?"

"Tang Xin'er" has his eyes wide open, looking completely harmless to humans and animals.

"What are you doing? I listen to you. I'll take two paintings to hang at home and smoke them."

"Hong Yanwu" immediately choked on his mouth.

"Xun? You are just a mosquito. I am afraid that you will suffer a loss, so I asked you not to keep any money..."

But unexpectedly, "Tang Xin'er" took the blame.

"What's yours and mine? What's yours isn't mine? We're not going to be a family in the future? If you ask me, you can continue to buy calligraphy and paintings from now on, and I'll keep the money..."

"I, I... gotta, you're right..."

"I also want two stones. What's the point of just keeping them? Let's carve a chapter for each of us. It's easier to have a chapter. You don't have to write your name. Just seal it..."

"Okay, okay, you just want to be happy, no matter what..."

Hong Yanwu really suppressed his heartache and had to keep smiling. But who made him so poor?

This is called retribution, and there is still someone who can cure him.

But then again, this kind of pain is actually quite satisfying.

What does it mean to be rich? That means you have to treat good things improperly. We don’t care at all whether it’s tens of millions or hundreds of millions. We just waste it.

Master, how about beating me up~

Also at the beginning of this month, Hong Yanwuhe and Chen Liquan's jobs were finally settled, and they had places to work again.

To put it bluntly, Director Li from the street never worked so hard for his own brother Zhang Luo.

It was for the sake of the TV that I followed their request and took the trouble to make countless phone calls. Finally, I found a more suitable reason for them at the front door.

I have to say that this job is really good. Although it is a temporary job, it still costs 18 yuan a month. But I work indoors every day, from 6 am to 12 noon, six hours of work.

Although he is a manual worker, he is not sweating all over his neck. He has one day off every week, which is much better than staying at the vegetable station where it rains and winds every day.

But the only drawback of this job is that it smells and is a bit picky. They have to deal with pig intestines.

Where? What kind of job is this?

Hi, the "Tianxingju" restaurant in Xianyukou is a time-honored restaurant in Beijing.

Most people in Beijing have eaten fried liver and know that it is an authentic Beijing-style snack. But older Beijing people also know more stories about "fried liver".

For example, I know that this thing actually evolved from "Baishui pig offal".

We know that the founder of "Fried Liver" originally started his business in "Huixianju" in the first year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1862).

I know that it was the great journalist Yang Manqing who came up with the idea to do public relations, which made the "Huixianju" fried liver popular.

It is also known that in the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), when the third generation successor of "Huixianju" was having internal strife, the "Tianxingju" diagonally opposite it took over. In the end, not only was "Huixianju" defeated

In 1952, "Huixianju" was annexed.

From then on, Tianxingju is the original source of "fried liver" in Beijing.

This "No. 1" title is not for nothing. Even in these years, you can buy a bowl of fried liver for only ten cents in other places. With its second-to-none taste and production technology, "Tianxingju" can make it.

Sold for two cents a bowl.

Even though it is so expensive, it is still overcrowded. The seven pots of "fried liver" cooked every day, each pot can sell 130 bowls, and it is sold out before nine o'clock, so you can't eat it even if you are late.

That’s the difference!

Some people may feel strange at this point. They may ask, "How can such a great time-honored brand have the positions of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan? If these two people who have worked hard can come to work, then Director Li will have enough face."

Big!"

Hey, this matter needs to be discussed separately.

What's going on?

On the one hand, "Tianxingju" is well-known, but its fame is only due to its bowl of "fried liver".

People in the capital eat this as breakfast, along with steamed buns or sesame pancakes, but not as a main meal. Therefore, after all, this "Tianxingju" is essentially a bigger breakfast shop.

The restaurant is 40 to 50 square meters, with about a dozen tables. It is indeed larger than an ordinary small restaurant, but compared with time-honored restaurants such as "Jingcheng Roast Duck Restaurant" (Judequan) and "Qilu Restaurant" (Bianyifang),

But it pales in comparison.

Speaking of actual business conditions, apart from six to nine in the morning, it is busy for less than three hours, and there are very few customers during the rest of the time.

At noon, we also serve simple lunches such as stir-fried vegetables, fried pancakes, and egg drop soup, to cope with the few out-of-town tourists who visit Qianmen just to fill their stomachs.

As for the night, don't even think about it. There are no ghosts. So it is closed. After two o'clock in the afternoon, it will be closed directly.

On the other hand, "Tianxingju" is indeed in urgent need of manpower. And this has to do with the special historical reasons at that time.

It turns out that in order to avoid going to the mountains and countryside as much as possible, most of the young people recruited by "Tianxingju" since the "movement" period were arranged to enter through the back door.

This group of young people, no matter what kind of family they come from, all have one thing in common: they are not good at what they do, and they taste good when they eat. They all have a disdain for the service industry from the bottom of their hearts.

From the first day they came to work, they have never worked seriously. Instead, they are best at being late, leaving early, quarreling, gossiping, or doing the "loyalty dance" or "knocking on the three families" and so on.

When it comes to work, it's good if it doesn't do anything to help.

In the words of Chef Yongxiang, the cook, as long as these guys don't bring crickets to work and don't fall into the liver-frying pot. Don't smoke when making buns and wrap the cigarette ashes in them, he will be thankful.

.

Simply, it is better to let them idle than to cause trouble.

So in fact, "Tianxingju" has always relied on the consciousness of old employees to maintain daily operations. Especially things in the kitchen are related to the century-old reputation of the store. After trying it several times, no one dared

Let the young people intervene.

Of course, the young people themselves also enjoy their leisure time. During the busiest three hours every day, they collect dirty dishes and wipe the table, and spend the rest of the time smoking and playing cards. No one wants to learn some skills from the old master.

.

This situation has continued to this day, and as the old masters retire one by one, the number of young people continues to increase. Naturally, there are fewer and fewer people working, and more and more people are eating and sleeping in the dark.

Over time, if all the accumulated conflicts reach a certain level, they will eventually explode.

And now is exactly this moment, because two old employees in the intestine cleaning workshop have just retired, and the task of cleaning and processing hundreds of pounds of pig intestines every day is no longer available, which has become a big headache.

Yes, there are still some old employees who can do it, but they are so busy that as for the young people, they are not willing to touch it at all.

So this made the plump, Maitreya-like manager Sha Liangbao very worried. Without the prepared pig intestines, how could he make pots of fried liver?

If the people in the capital are unable to eat this bite, they will be blamed. If you write a letter to the catering company, you will definitely be criticized by your superiors. The key is that after being criticized, you still have to solve the problem, so wouldn't it be a big loss?

What a coincidence. At this special moment when the problem was most urgently needed to be solved, a phone call entrusted by Director Li came to Manager Sha's desk.

Manager Sha, who was sweating profusely, his eyes lit up as soon as he answered the phone.

There are two young people who can work who want to come here as temporary workers? Isn't this just because they want to sleep, so someone will hand them pillows.

Forced labor? That's nothing. Anyway, the two boys didn't sneak in.

Having said that, if he wasn't such a flawed person, he wouldn't be willing to do this kind of work without a formal establishment, right?

Okay, just like this, it's settled.
