"Sir, do you want to work in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
"Uh---, I'm here to find a job?"
"find a job?"
"Oh, I just came here to find work."
"Uh..., I already have enough manpower here, you should go elsewhere."
.....
"Sir, please take a seat, please take a seat - what do you need?"
"I came here to find something to do."
"Just in time, I still need a bartender here."
"Really, that's great. How is the treatment?"
"Food and lodging included."
...
"there is none left?"
"Of course, what else do you want."
...
pier.
"Brother, do you still need someone here?"
"If you want, can you do it with your small body?"
"Of course, my body is strong."
"Okay then, take this and go queue up at the back."
"Haha, that's it."
"Hurry up, you stinky slave, haven't you eaten yet?"
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
“Ouch ouch——!”
"I'm sorry, I just remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll come back tomorrow."

"Oh, I didn't expect that the employment pressure in the Northern Song Dynasty was even greater than that of my time. There are also those bosses, typical capitalism, md. They work until death in a day, and they only provide food and accommodation, and don't even get a salary. Damn it.
What a cheater." Li Qi stood by the river and kept spitting bitter water into the river.
In a month at most, Zui Xianju will probably change hands. If Li Qi doesn't take advantage of this gap, he should quickly find a job, otherwise he might really have to sleep on the street.
But after searching all morning, he still couldn't find a decent job, which made Li Qi very anxious.
"Shaobing, Shaobing..."
Shaobing? Wu Dalang?
Li Qi looked overjoyed and suddenly turned his head to look. Unfortunately, the man calling "Shaobing" was not the legendary Wu Dalang who was less than five feet tall, but an old man with white beard and hair.
Wearing a linen shirt and carrying a bamboo load, he was shouting and walking slowly towards Li Qi.
Li Qi looked disappointed and sighed.
Of course Li Qi was not interested in Wu Dalang, but he really wanted to meet Wu Dalang's beautiful and coquettish wife, Pan Jinlian.
However, according to "Water Margin", Wu Dalang was from Qinghe County. How could he appear in Bianliang, Tokyo, and be a character in the novel? Whether this person actually existed in history remains to be investigated, and the most important thing is...
The only point is that what Wu Dalang sells is not sesame cakes at all, but cooking cakes. It's just Li Qi's own misremembering.
Wu Dalang didn't see him, but Li Qi's stomach began to growl. He ran all morning without even drinking a glass of water. He was already very hungry. When the old man walked up to him, he hurriedly shouted: "Old man
Uncle, how do you sell these sesame cakes?"
The old man smiled honestly and said: "One penny each."
It's quite cheap. Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay, give me one first."
When the old man saw that there was business, he looked happy, hurriedly put down the load, and opened the lid of one of the baskets. Inside was a basket made of bamboo, covered with a piece of white cloth. When the old man opened the white cloth, he saw
There was a basket full of sesame seed cakes inside, which were round and about the size of an adult's palm. They looked very thick, but the color was a little ugly, as if they were burnt.
The old man took out a piece of sesame seed cake from the basket, wrapped it in a piece of yellow paper, and handed it to Li Qi.
"Thanks!"
Li Qi took the sesame cake, took out a penny from his pocket, and put it in the old man's calloused hand.
Li Qi had eaten many kinds of cakes in his life, but he had never tasted the Northern Song Dynasty sesame cakes. He was looking forward to it, and his stomach was already empty, so he picked up the cakes and took a big bite.
Wow! It tastes so bad! Why does this thing have no taste at all?
It didn't taste good, and it was hard to swallow. As soon as he took the first bite, Li Qi choked to death. He hurriedly asked the old man for help: "Ahem, cough, cough, old man, do you have water here?"
The old man smiled and said: "Brother, I'm so sorry. I just drank all the water I brought."
Holy shit!
Breathe in! Hold your breath! Breathe out!
Li Qi took several deep breaths in succession before he calmed down.
"Brother, are you okay?" The old man asked with a worried look on Li Qi's face.
Li Qi took a long breath and shook his head. Looking at the sesame cakes in his hands, he really wanted to cry without tears. However, he was hungry at this time. In desperation, he could only chew slowly and eat in small bites.
Really frustrating.
Does anyone buy such unpalatable sesame cakes?
Li Qi was eating and thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more incredible it became, so he asked the old man: "Old man, how is your business lately?"
The old man sat on the pole, wiping his sweat, shaking his head and sighing: "It was okay in the winter, but since spring, it has not been so good. To be honest, little brother, you are the second guest I met today.
"
It seems I'm not the only one suffering.
Li Qi felt a little more balanced and then asked: "Then how much can you earn in a month?"
The old man chuckled: "I can't make much money, so I can barely keep my mouth open."
Miracle!
It's nothing short of a miracle that someone with such an unpalatable food can barely open his mouth. If these sesame seed cakes were sold on the streets of Beijing, they would probably have to pay compensation for how much they made.
In fact, this sesame seed cake is not as unpalatable as Li Qi said, otherwise the old man would have starved to death long ago, and he would not dare to pick it out for sale. However, in Li Qi's time, there were too many delicious pancakes, such as what
Hamburgers, pizzas, etc., are filled with meat and fruit, how can they not be delicious? However, these sesame seed cakes only have flour and nothing added, so Li Qi is not used to eating them.
Li Qi has never missed hamburgers so much in his heart. Although hamburgers have always occupied the position of junk food in his heart, compared to this sesame seed cake, it is so many times better.
Li Qi saw that the old man was honest and honest, and at such an old age, he was still carrying a burden and running around for a living. He felt a little unbearable, so he wanted to help him and said with a smile: "Old man, do you want to earn a few more
money?"
Isn’t this nonsense? Who would think it’s too much money?
The old man's eyes were shining brightly, and he nodded quickly and said, "Brother, do you want to sell some more sesame cakes?"
Sweat! Still buying it? You really think I live too long!
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Even if I buy you a few more cakes, I can only help you for a while. If you want to continue doing this for a long time, the key is still on these cakes."
The old man was disappointed when he saw that Li Qi didn't want to buy his cake. But when he heard what happened later, he was puzzled and asked: "Brother, are you saying there is something wrong with this cake?"
"It's not just a problem, it's a big problem." Li Qi first frightened the old man, and then said: "To be honest, the taste of this cake is really hard to eat, so if you want your business to be prosperous, you must be here.
Make a difference on this bread.”
"Change?" the old man asked confused.
"good!"
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Well, let me first talk about your method of making cakes. Do you mix the dough with cold water first, then stir it with chopsticks, wait until it is evenly mixed, then knead it into dough, and finally
Put it directly into the oven to bake.”
After hearing this, the old man shouted in surprise: "Brother, is it possible that your family also sells sesame cakes?"
If I were a cake seller, would I still have your share?
Li Qi broke into a cold sweat and said, "You just need to tell me, yes or no?"
The old man nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, that's right, little brother, what you said is absolutely right. That's what I did."
"That's right." Li Qi nodded and said: "The cakes made using this method will be thick, hard and difficult to swallow, so those customers who patronize you once will not come again.
, this is a taboo in business, especially in catering, you must attract customers based on the taste of the food, this is also the most basic."
The old man nodded and asked: "Then according to what the little brother said, how should we make these sesame cakes?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple. You have to use warm water to knead the noodles first. While stirring, slowly add water, so that the dough will be softer. When the noodles are not dry, stir again.
Knead the dough with your hands into a soft dough. Remember, after kneading, put the dough in a warm place for a quarter of an hour, and then put it in the oven to bake."
How could the old man doubt Li Qi's words now? He nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, I remember. Use warm water to knead the dough, add water while stirring, and leave it in a warm place for a quarter of an hour."
Hey! This old man has a pretty good memory.
Li Qi smiled slightly and continued: "But this is still the most basic thing. If you want everyone to buy your sesame biscuits, then you must make some more distinctive biscuits."
