Return To 1977 Chapter 1063: Triangle
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
Before 2013, there used to be a small, triangular-shaped open space where the "Model Workers Square" is located in the southwest corner of the "Ming City Wall Ruins Park" in Chongwenmen.
It is habitually called the "Chongwenmen Triangle" by people in the capital.
Don't underestimate this inconspicuous place guarding the "X" intersection, it has special luck.
Because this place is close to the Beijing Railway Station.
Migrant workers who have just come out of the Beijing Railway Station, especially those with dark eyes and tight pockets, are often used to staying here.
At the same time, this area is also busy with traffic and is an important hub for people traveling from north to south
It is inevitable that some people who need handymen or nannies will happen to pass through here and take the opportunity to recruit them.
So gradually, a "labor market" was spontaneously formed.
Especially after the Spring Festival every year, a large number of migrant workers from all over the country flock here.
This place has become extremely popular, and its scale, reputation, and influence are expanding day by day.
By the 1990s, it had become a nationally renowned illegal labor market that caused the most headaches for the Beijing government.
Of course, in this day and age, there is no such thing as "illegal" or "legal".
Because there is no other choice at all, I wish that all the people and employees in the south of the capital would go here.
Hong Yanwu is no exception. If he wanted to hire a nanny, he would have to go here to find one.
No need to ask, since it is not formal.
Disorder, mess, and mess are inevitable, and troubles are also inevitable.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu came here for three days in a row, and he was already a little annoyed just because of his clothes.
On the first day, he wore a fur coat and drove a clear Crown car from his work.
Good guy, just wearing this rich outfit is like hanging a sheep's head on your head.
As soon as he got out of the car, he hadn't even walked in yet.
A group of more than 50 outsiders waiting for job opportunities at the outermost area surrounded us with cheers.
There are plumbers, kitchen workers, carpenters, cotton players, all of them, all talking about promoting themselves.
Some people even dared to touch his pockets
Within half an hour, Hong Yanwu was forced to start the car and drive away.
The next day, having learned from experience and gained a good memory, he no longer dared to reveal his wealth.
I came here wearing work clothes, my work clothes wrapped in a cotton coat, and I secretly parked my car somewhere else.
But that doesn't work either.
Because this time it was not the outsiders who surrounded him, but the hired workers who came to him.
Some people looked at him and then took the initiative to ask him.
"How much money do you need per month, and what kind of food do you cook?"
Well, there are so many people wanting to open restaurants these days, and the biggest hiring gap in the capital is chefs.
No matter Hong Yanwu's "beautiful" appearance, the white chef's clothes under the cotton coat still smelled like oil smoke.
His shining identity as a chef was exposed.
As a result, he inevitably became the target of public criticism and a popular person.
But I can't explain this yet.
Because he wants to say, "You are mistaken, I am also here to hire people", and more!
Soon he will be surrounded by another group, repeating yesterday's mistakes.
"Boss, boss, you also run a restaurant? Do you want part-time workers? Do you care about food and accommodation? How much are the wages?"
"Brother, can I learn a craft from you? As long as I can learn a craft, I can do it for less money."
"Brother, I have worked in a restaurant, washing dishes, washing vegetables, peeling onions and garlic, you name it..."
So on the third day, Hong Yanwu didn't even go to work, but "dressed up" at home first.
I simply put on the most ordinary clothes, then went to Shui's house and borrowed my father-in-law Shui Gengsheng's bicycle.
Of course, this has almost reached the bottom line of his patience.
He had already thought about it. If he couldn't find the right one this time, he would have nothing to do.
I'm afraid we can only leave this matter to Li Fu and resolve it slowly.
Not to mention, there is usually no hope of resolution until the Reclamation Festival.
This is the temper of fate and the characteristics of life.
This time, Hong Yanwu clearly came with the mentality of being put down if he failed to achieve, but he didn’t expect that he would actually meet someone who was more suitable.
He wandered around for ten minutes, and saw two young girls in the innermost part of the triangle, near the brick wall.
Seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face as red as a high school student, wearing a plaid coat, looking rustic and childish at the same time.
There are some luggage and baggage under my feet.
Looking like this, he looks like he just got off the train station, and his personality is extremely shy.
Because before Hong Yanwu could pass by, there was already an old man with a burnt mouth and yellow teeth who got there first and stood there to ask questions first.
"Are you two trying to find an excuse?"
The two girls were stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Have you done this before?"
The two girls looked at each other again and shook their heads.
"Hey, shaking your head doesn't count as nodding..." The old man happily asked a taller girl, "What's your last name?"
Unexpectedly, the taller one blushed, but the shorter one spoke up to help.
"Her surname is Guan."
The old man followed and asked the shorter one.
"What's your last name?"
It was amazing, this time the two girls actually fell apart again.
The girl named Guan spoke up on her behalf.
"Her surname is Zhang."
This is even more true after another.
"How old are you?"
"She is 17."
"She is 18."
"Where are you from?"
"Huangchuan."
"Have you ever been to school?"
"Goed to junior high school."
"We were classmates from elementary school to middle school."
Look, what does this say? Are you being honest?
So the old man saw the advantage within a few words.
As the saying goes, "People are old and bad, and horses are slippery."
This old guy just cut the price down on the grounds that the two girls didn’t know anything.
Originally, there were different services on the market based on ordinary laundry and cooking, as well as care for the elderly, young and sick.
The typical price for a nanny is between thirty and forty yuan
But he actually told the two girls that he would be given twenty dollars a month to take care of his "sick wife".
Thanks to the persistence of these two girls, they did not fall into this trap.
Because he asked who was willing to go with him, Xiao Zhang said softly.
"Okay, okay...but, you have to go, we have to go together."
Xiao Guan also had persistence in his tone.
"If you don't go, none of us will go."
Well, now the old man was so wet that his eyes were wide open and he almost swallowed his tongue.
"Two? Are you kidding?"
Unexpectedly, Xiaoguan's answer shocked him even more.
"No...yes...there are three. There is another one who went to buy steamed buns for us..."
Hey guys, there’s nothing we can do! What a strange story in the world!
After struggling for another five minutes, the two girls just shook their heads.
The old man had no choice but to leave in disappointment.
Isn’t this because Hong Yanwu should be lucky?
Of course, it is the luck of these girls.
So Hong Yanwu passed by confidently, and he said to Xiaoguan and Xiao Zhang with a smile.
"I just heard that there are three of you here. Are you willing to work together?"
"Then are you willing to do housework? You don't need to have experience, you just need to be willing to learn. I will take care of food, housing and clothes, and you will be paid a lot."
"Fifty for each person, two months of trial work, forty first, and when we are all satisfied, we will make it up to you. How about it? Come with me?"
The two girls were not happy with such conditions, and their eyes lit up when they heard it.
But just when the two of them were about to answer.
However, there are many branches.
A voice sounded from behind Hong Yanwu.
"Don't listen to him! Liar! He must be a liar!"
At the same time Xiaoguan and Xiao Zhang called "sister".
Hong Yanwu turned around and saw a girl standing behind him holding a few steamed buns.
glaring at him with the vigilance of glaring at a bad guy.
He said it reluctantly.
"Look at how you dress up, how can you lie to us that you haven't entered the city? How can such a good thing happen in the world? You seventh grandson! Get out! If you don't get out, I will call someone!"
Hong Yanwu was helpless after being scolded.
What kind of fate do I have?
Why do I have to stumble when it comes to everything?
It’s not good, it’s not good, it’s not bad either!
I really don’t have to sympathize with others blindly anymore. Just thinking about myself is enough to make me sad.
