My 1979

Li He just listened quietly and did not interrupt.

"This was said at least 10 years ago. I was working as a section leader at our agricultural machinery factory, but then someone reported me for having a bad work style. At first I lost my job, but then the trouble got worse and I was sent to a labor camp. I just met Brother Shoushan. But I came out early, but I don’t have a job. I am almost forty, and I rely on my parents to support me every day. It’s like saying something, but I don’t even want to work as a temporary worker. What can I do? any solution."

Li He moved his body, and then asked curiously, "Then you don't have any style problems?"

"Hey, no, I'm just a section chief, and I have all the big men under me." Zhao Zunian smiled bitterly.

"Look at him, he probably won't have a chance if he doesn't think it right." Shoushan teased.

Li He looked at him and held back his laughter. He looked really anxious.

"Then you can just set up a stall and become a small self-employed person. The situation will not be bad, and you won't starve to death. There is no need to be so entangled."

Zhao Zunian hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and said, "Self-employed businesses also need capital. Shoushan said there is a shortage of people here, so I came here."

Shoushan said, "Although this boy has never been a cook, he has the talent to be a cook. Although he is a bit older and a little bit rough, he can work for a year or two and he can be used by several people."

I don’t know whether this was a compliment or a disservice. Anyway, the taste was quite strong. Li He asked, “Are you going to teach him your family’s cooking skills and accept him as your apprentice?”

Shoushan said with a smile, "There are no apprentices or masters in the chef, and there is no clique. Whatever the taste of the guests is, you will be the clique of food. In the past, you usually started as a young boy, working in the kitchen for many years, you can What skills you learn depends purely on chance. If you meet a master who likes you and gives you some tips, that's good luck. There is no such thing as cleverness or stupidity. Everyone has a heart. If your heart is on this dish, you can do it. He is a good cook if he is dedicated.”

"Isn't there some palace recipes, imperial dining room, etc.? And there are also cuisine heirs and the like?" Li He was curious.

Shoushan glanced at Li He with his eyes, and then said, "Where did you hear this nonsense? It's up to the individual to cook, so what's the use of having a recipe. Take your favorite dish, such as braised pork, you also You know how to make it, but can what you make taste the same as mine? No, right?"

Li He suddenly felt that it made sense. Just like if someone gave him a set of exercise methods, he might not be able to develop eight-pack abs. Give him some martial arts secrets, maybe it can only serve as a foothold.

"Okay, I'll leave first. Brother Zhao, please arrange it. You can discuss the salary and treatment." If he interferes in this matter, he will be really busy. His journey is to maintain world peace, across the stars and the sea. Protect the earth and defend the universe.

After Li He left, Zhao Zunian turned around and asked Shoushan excitedly, "Are you leaving me behind?"

"What do you think he is? He is a good man. As long as you work hard, he will not treat you badly. He said he wanted to open restaurants all over the country. Although he was happy to hear it, things are changing so fast now that he can't tell." Even though Shoushan still thinks Li He's heroic words are a bit unreliable when he thinks about them now, it doesn't stop him from dreaming about them.

Zhao Zunian immediately expressed his determination, "Don't worry, brother Shoushan, you take such good care of me, I can't let you down."

"It's not to disappoint me, but it's not to disappoint the person just now. The person just now is the boss, and like us, we all serve other people's bowls and are managed by others.

"Hey, I understand." "

When Li He brought He Fang home, he was thinking about what birthday gift to give He Fang. The range of choices is too small, and you definitely can’t give away things like watches, scarves, clothes, etc. randomly.

He thought for a long time and couldn't come up with a clue, so he had to ride his bicycle around to look around and buy something suitable when he saw it.

When passing by Xuanwumen, he saw someone setting up a stall selling tapes on the roadside. Li He stopped his bicycle and took a look. He was delighted to find that there were those of Li Guyi and Teresa Teng.

There seems to be no more suitable gift than this. I originally planned to give him a book or a pen if it didn't work out.

"How much? Brother, take this."

"Two boxes, right? A total of 8 yuan."

"Brother, it's so expensive." Li He was shocked. This was a money grab.

The hawker was also a young man, and said disdainfully, "Brother, if someone buys one box, I will sell it for 5 yuan. I only want you to buy two boxes to give you a cheaper price. Look at that girl just now, did you bargain? Why don't you just give money as usual, without blinking an eye, people know the goods and know they are in short supply.

Who doesn't know Li Guyi and Teresa Teng now? They are very popular. Even if I sell a box for ten yuan, people are rushing to buy them. But I can't make that kind of unscrupulous money. Brother, what I sell is a real conscience price. "

"I'll give you 6 boxes for 20, okay." He decided to discuss the price with the stall owner. Although he is not a fussy person.

"No, bro, my pants are leaking out of my butt, for this price."

"If you are wandering in the world, don't be afraid of my machete. Just say a word."

"But your machete is too cruel. Brother is so down-to-earth, so I'll treat it as a favor. Next time, I'll come to take care of my brother's business. I usually set up a stall here."

Li He directly selected 6 cassettes, paid the money, and without stopping, got on his bicycle and headed home.

At dinner time, after finishing his meal, Old Man Li went to his room and tinkered with his things.

In the living room, Li He said to He Fang, "How about I boil an egg for you? After all, you are the birthday girl!"

He Fang said, "I'm not a child, why are you coaxing me to do this?"

Li He handed the tape over, "This is for you, consider it a birthday gift. I don't know what to give, just don't dislike it."

"You still have a conscience and know how to prepare a gift for me!" As He Fang spoke, an unconcealable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"When the conditions are met later, I will prepare a big cake for you, let him salute for three days and three nights, and open a table for fifty or sixty people, so that I can be sure of face." In the end, Li He really couldn't think of any words, so he thought I thought, "It's exactly the same as the party scene in foreign movies. It's even richer than him."

"Don't lie to me?"

"No one can lie to you."

He Fang said, "They will be assigned immediately. If you have your own wishes, you have to find a way. It is estimated that after the stage, the school will start to talk to students about their intentions."

"I'm casual. I'll look at the arrangements when the time comes. The main thing is you, where do you want to go? Do you want to do your own major? Or do something else."

"I want to be assigned back to the Northeast."

After listening to He Fang's words, Li He felt that something was wrong with his style of painting, "Don't you want to stay in Beijing? Didn't you say before that I would take your mother over when you get a job? Why did you suddenly want to go back? I don't understand. .”
