Chapter 144 The problem of people

Lao Tan had a dream, dreaming that he was studying in high school.

The dream is very real, everything is the same as when I was in school. Classroom, playground, teachers, classmates------

In his sleep, there was a smile on his lips and tears on his eyes.

What was he dreaming about? Was he crying? Or laughing------

Yaru, who was sitting by the bed, thought blankly.

Yaru was not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory after get off work. She was a little worried, so she cooked porridge and boiled a few eggs. She went to the cold dish room to get some pickles, packed her bag and ran to the apartment.

I opened the door and saw Lao Tan sleeping. He put the food he had brought back on the table. He mopped the floor of the house first, then threw Lao Tan's dirty clothes into the washing machine and tidied up the closet.

She wanted to wake up Lao Tan and see him sleeping soundly, laughing and crying. She knew she had a dream, but she didn't know what in the dream could cause such torture.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost half past ten. I thought I would not call me Lao Tan and go back first.

At this moment, Lao Tan woke up. To be precise, he woke up from urinating.

"When did you come?" Lao Tan asked in surprise.

"I came here after get off work." Yaru said with a smile, temporarily giving up the idea of ​​going back.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Lao Tan quickly went to pee.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw the food on the dining table and smiled. He said to Yaru: "I'm a little hungry. I might as well go out to eat something."

"I guess you didn't eat much when you were drinking." Yaru laughed, and then said, "I'll go back if you don't wake up."

Lao Tan sat down at the dining table, took a sip of porridge, and asked, "Are you busy tonight?"

"I'm busy. Can I not be busy on Saturday?" Yaru said.

"Is everything okay?"

"Nothing happened."

"You should eat some too."

Yaru took a sip of porridge, picked up some pickles and threw them into her mouth.

"You're going to drink less from now on. Did you forget to get a bottle for vomiting blood last year? You just drank it. Besides, you have high blood pressure now, so you can't drink at all." Yaru said.

"Then what do you think? We're treating guests, so we can't ask them to drink by themselves." Lao Tan said helplessly.

"Drink less, don't drink so much. I don't believe you when you say you have high blood pressure and you are told to drink? Just pour it into your mouth?"

Lao Tan laughed, finished an egg, and said, "Everyone knows that I can drink, but I'm sorry not to."

"I still want to drink it myself--see if my dad has it. Jie'er has a stomachache all day long and keeps taking medicine. He drinks it all. He refuses to listen. As soon as the pain stops, he picks up the flask and keeps drinking."

Yaru said.

"Those who like good wine should not enter the teahouse."

"Hmph! You don't need to drink it. If you get sick after drinking it, you'll be fine."

After the two of them had eaten, Yaru put away the dishes and chopsticks.

Old Tan lit up a cigarette as a habit. Yaru cleaned up in the kitchen for a while and came out. She frowned when she saw Old Tan smoking, but didn't say anything. She went into the bathroom and washed the handles, looked in the mirror, and simply pulled her hair back.

, came out and said to Lao Tan: "I'm going back."

"Sit down for a while, what are you busy with?" Lao Tan said.

"What time is it? I have to go to work tomorrow." Yaru said.

"After a good night's sleep, I'll feel refreshed. I'll give it to you later for ten yuan."

Yaru smiled, thinking that those waiters were noisy and noisy when they returned home, so they could just sit there for a while.

The two sat on the sofa, one at each end. Lao Tan remembered that there were apples in the refrigerator, got up, took one, washed it, and handed it to Yaru. Yaru took it and took a bite.

"It's very difficult to dice the mutton rolls. It seems that we need a dicing machine." Lao Tan said.

"It's okay. The dumpling cook sometimes helps me cut it, so I can keep busy." Yaru said.

Yaru is a little troubled when it comes to work.

There are eight people in the dumpling room, she is the eldest, one younger brother, five dumpling workers and one older dumpling cook.

The dumplings and noodles had to be mixed in advance, so someone had to work the morning shift every day. The three female workers from the provincial capital were fine and accepted it. When it was their turn to work the morning shift, they all arrived on time, mixed the dumplings and noodles, and then got off work.

Make preparations for the preparation.

Those who work in the morning naturally get off work early, and those who work the early shift get off work at 7:30 p.m. This is the busiest time in the dumpling shop. The three female workers from the provincial capital are basically not in a hurry to leave, and they do not get off work until eight o'clock.

Two local female workers were not like this. They refused to work the morning shift at first, saying they had to cook for their children in the morning and could not come. The head chef Yang Zhijun also had a bad temper and said directly that he could not work the morning shift and he would be laid off and find someone who could.

The two female workers saw what the chef said. In total, the wages here are higher than other places and the treatment is better than other places, so they reluctantly accepted it. But what was annoying was that they didn't wait even a minute until the end of the day, no matter how busy they were.

Like this, just lift up your legs and walk away without any courtesy.

Also, the dumpling restaurant needs to have staff on duty between 2pm and 5pm to prepare for customers to add dishes, add dumplings, or reheat Cai. Sometimes guests will come in to eat, making it easier to receive guests.

Regarding the matter of being on duty, the two local female workers were not willing to do so. Yaru talked to them about this. They said that in other hotels, they always get off work on time and do not work overtime. If you work overtime, you will be paid overtime. And they are very rude.

It is said that there are no restaurants in Hohhot that are open from 2 to 5 pm. It is good here. It is still open and has to be on duty. If it were not for the money and face, I would have quit working.

Yaru choked so much that she thought it was hard to find a dumpling maker, so she would just make do with it.

Lao Tan has very strict requirements for dumplings. Take dumpling noodles as an example, there are strict requirements on how much water to add to a pound of noodles, how many grams of salt to add, how much lecithin and oil to add, and there is no room for sloppiness.

There are standards for how long the dough machine should run on the mixed dumpling surface, how long it takes for it to rest, how many grams a batch weighs, and how many grams of dumpling fillings should be put into the dumplings when making them, and the dumpling workers are required to strictly abide by them.

The dumpling maker uses a rolling pin with two pointed ends and rolls it with both hands. The rolled out belly is thick and thin. After filling, the thick belly is stretched thin. When the thin edges are pinched together, the thickness is the same as the dumpling belly. The cooked dumplings have the same maturity.

,Good taste.

In addition, the speed of rolling out the dumplings with two hands is also very fast. A skilled dumpling worker can roll out at least six dumpling wrappers at one time, which can be made by four people.

Before the opening, a total of six dumpling workers were hired, and Yaru took them to practice kneading and rolling the dough.

I ran two of them that day, mainly because I was not used to using a rolling pin with two pointed ends to roll dough with both hands, so I couldn't do it.

Three days later, three more people left. They were all not used to using a rolling pin with two pointed ends, and they couldn't adapt to the standard of kneading dough. I used to do it according to my own habits, no one restrained me, but now I feel restrained.

uneasy.

Later, three more people were recruited, and two left, leaving one behind.

The main reason why the two local female workers did not leave was the salary issue. It is 2,500 yuan a month here, which is 300 yuan higher than other hotels. They have three days of paid rest every month, a 300 yuan attendance bonus, and work points.

,very attractive.

But the two of them are really not good at work. Not only do they have bad attitudes, but their efficiency is also low. Others roll out dough four at a time, sometimes six. They have always been two people who are not in a hurry, and are said to be at their best.

.

Lao Tan knows all these situations and wants to transfer all the dumpling workers from the provincial capital, but it is obviously unrealistic. There are few girls studying pastry and there is a shortage of dumpling workers in the provincial capital. The three female workers who came are Zhongqing and Wang Hong.

It's a big job, otherwise I wouldn't come.

It’s really hard to recruit locally.

It takes a lot of effort to recruit, and we can’t have no one making dumplings. In the future, opening branches will require more dumpling workers, so this problem must be solved in advance.

"The two local dumpling workers are not lazy, maybe everyone in this place is like this. Yang Zhijun said that the two chopping boards for side dishes are also left at the right time, and they are unwilling to go on duty when they are on duty. Sometimes they even curse." Yaru said.

.

"Hmm------" Lao Tan thought deeply, and after a while he said: "It will probably change when the capital is raised. Our salary is not low. Counting the full attendance bonus and other restaurants that exceed it, the salary is 500."

Yuan, once you get the money, you have to work hard to save the money."

"The main reason is that we don't have any pressure. We don't think it's easy to find someone if we don't need them, so we need to take one. In addition, our business is good, we have a lot of work, and we are more tired than others. I don't want to come to this business," Yaru said.

Old Tan smacked his lips and said: "This is the situation. We don't have any free time when we go to work, and we don't even have time to smoke a cigarette. It's ridiculous to be able to smoke a cigarette at other people's houses------"

"Our family is tired, but we earn a lot and learn a lot. Let's talk about the two dumpling workers. If they didn't work at our house, they would go out to find work. Other bosses would definitely like to use them. What were they like when they came here? Now

What's it like? You can be a team leader when you go out," Yaru said.

"Well, our home is a place to train people and learn skills--but the problem of personnel must be solved--" Lao Tan felt a little worried.

"You can't find it from your hometown. My family is really hardworking and they still accept it," Yaru said.

Yaru reminded Lao Tan, her eyes lit up, and she slapped her thigh hard.

"Yes, I'm looking for it from my hometown!"

"It's hard to find girls and boys over there, and there aren't many people working out now, and their family conditions are good. There are people our age and older than us, most of them are idle at home. My old uncle

My aunt and I split up the family after my younger brother got married, and most of the land was given to his son-in-law, but the daughter-in-law was not happy with it.

During the Chinese New Year, I went home and told me that if there was any suitable job, please contact me and I would like to earn some money. Otherwise, I would not even have pocket money. I would like to give it to my son, who also has a daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law is not willing.

Yeah." Yaru said.

"It's all like that. How many good daughters-in-law are there now? Two old ones can support five young ones, but five young ones can't support two old ones -------" Lao Tan said: "My family is a farmer.

It's okay, life is good, and every family is doing well. But when the industrial households fail, the mines turn yellow, no coal is produced, and most people are laid off.

There is a coal mine in the mountain behind my home. When I was at home, the mine was still working, and the profit was good, and a thermal power plant was built. Now there is no coal underground, and the power plant is in decline. I heard from my fifth sister that many mine workers are wandering around when they are busy in farming.

It’s scary enough to work for someone else’s farm for 80 yuan a day and make stew for lunch.”

"Hey, it's the same over there in my home. There are a lot of coal kilns in Jiuhemen. There are many laid-off people. Those who are capable are doing business and those who are not are working. It's such a mess now. Didn't you listen to the jingle: Once you enter Jiuhemen, it's like entering

The camp was chaotic, the men were stealing and the women were prostitutes," Yaru said.

They both fell into silence at the same time.

People, no matter how far they travel or how capable they are, their feelings for their hometown will never change.

When people outside look back at the actual difficulties in their hometown, they feel uncomfortable. Although they cannot make any changes or contributions to their hometown, they still have the idea of ​​​​contributing to their hometown, even though this contribution is insignificant.
