C252 (1/2)
It was night, and I found another problem with my belly: staying.
However, since it was May and they were in a restaurant, sleeping was actually not that difficult to solve.
The fat woman and the skinny man discussed, then they put a few tables together and threw a mat and a quilt onto the table.
Date: 7 May
Three days. I spent three days in the kitchen, working with my head down.
I didn't ask for a salary, either, because I didn't say so at first.
And with food and shelter, I'll slowly get used to it and think about other things.
You don't need to worry about eating when you know how to do things?
That's right, there was the importance of washing dishes and vegetables, even if it was just the most basic of tasks, there were still a lot of things that one could learn when doing them.
For example, when washing vegetables, a large basin was thrown into the water. If one did not have too much water, they would be scolded if they wasted it. If one did not wash it cleanly, they would also be scolded.
When he was washing the dishes, he would wipe the cloth with a bowl in one hand, with the other hand. After he had washed the dishes inside and the second time, it was done.
It was definitely not the kind of grinding that was done at home. There was still oil at the bottom of a few bowls that had been washed for a long time.
I washed a pile, picked it up and put it in the disinfector. My arms were sore, and I was really tired.
However, labor is the most...
A small castle walked past me, ”Hua La La La”.
I don't know if I stumbled, or if she bumped into me, a pile of bowls on the floor, a crisp sound, reverberating in every corner of the kitchen.
My mind suddenly cleared up. Looking at the happiness that flashed past my face, as well as the provocation from the corner of my mouth, I understood and became confused again.
Staring at her coldly, I don't know why she provoked me, because I just buried my head in my work and never got in the way of others.
The little girl drew back her neck, and before the others could gather around her, she stopped and said that I had stepped on her, that the bowl had knocked her down, that she was hurt and wanted me to accompany her to the hospital, and as she spoke she sat down on the broken bowl.
The young woman was crying herself to the heavens. It was a sound filled with grief and resentment.
I looked at myself, and I had to say, the world is amazing: a pile of bowls smashed, I'm fine, not a bit of oil broken.
A chef squeezed in front of me, hugged me as if nothing had happened, and seriously said, ”Forget it, it's not intentional. Get up and rub some safflower oil, I'll keep watch for you.” However … ”With so many bowls, I'll have to spend at least a hundred and eighty …”
I shoved the cook's greasepaint hand to one side.
This man must have a bad brain. He wants to take advantage of me for a hundred and eighty yuan. He wants my family to know that I must laugh to death.
These chefs have been hanging around in front of my eyes quite a few times these past few days. Everyone knows about Sima Zhao's intentions, and he even dared to threaten me with a hundred and eighty yuan. He's underestimating me too much.
Aunt, I …
Even if there was no backing down, he wouldn't be suffocated to death by the one hundred and eighty yuan.
The chef immediately told the others openly and secretly about how serious the matter was. The head waiter who brought me in also had an ugly expression on his face. When they said it, it was even worse than my dream.
I stood by and watched, waiting for the fat woman and the thin man to come in.
I'm not afraid to run away, and a small part of it is my responsibility.
Not long after, an earth-shattering sound came from the front. If it wasn't for the occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, people would be fighting and destroying houses to create destruction. I feel like I'm going to tear the house down.
Everyone in the kitchen was stunned. The chef and the head waiter went out, but before they even reached the door, they sneaked back and fearfully said,
”Five or six people really did smash things. The boss was held up by someone. ”Snatching money.”
I raised my eyebrows. I'm afraid … I remember him telling me not to look for me again. Who could it be?
Was he someone else?
There's nothing I can do about it. It's clear that this is the first time I've met them, so I … Think about yourself.
After half an hour, we were all stunned and waiting at the side. The skinny man looked at me and asked with a complicated expression:
”Who the hell are you?”
I looked down, and it was obvious that it was coming for me.
Instead of answering the boss, I asked:
”What is going on?”
The skinny man sighed...
The thin man said, ”Someone's looking for you, and I can see that you're not that bad. Those people were very aggressive, so they didn't say anything about you. Those people said that they would come back later to look for him. ”Leave something for me and I'll leave quickly.”
I didn't say much as I took off my apron and turned around to leave. ”I'm sorry, but if there is, I will accompany you in the future. ”Thank you …”
Light and shadow, broken tiles everywhere, a few curses, floating in the wind …
Date: 10 May
I searched for three days, but couldn't find anything.
I wanted to go to the police station and get an ID so I could get a job.
However, I don't know how the paperwork will be done. The government department won't be able to finish all their work in a short time, and I'm too busy to go anywhere.
I am still in and out of every hotel, whether or not there are advertisements like ”Recruit dishwasher” outside the window.
During the rush of time, night descended as the lanterns were being lit. It was a beautiful night.
I was dirty and almost smelly. I didn't have any place to sleep for two nights and I didn't dare to sleep out on the streets. I wasn't afraid of robbers or sex fiends.
Stumbling into unfamiliar alleys, I prepared to try my luck at the popular hotel across the street.
Maybe I can go get a glass of water or a bowl of broth.
Yes, I'm thirsty, have some tap water.
However, there was no running water to drink on the streets.
The public lavatory has, but to charge, one time 2, I have no money, can not enter.
Every time, he would ask his grandpa for half a day before he could go to the toilet to drink some water to satisfy his hunger.
Occasionally, he would meet the noodle shop and ask them for bowl noodle soup because he couldn't get one to sweep the floor and wash the dishes, which was even more satisfying than running water.
For three days, I never met a good boss like the first one.
I understand that it is not that you are willing to work hard and someone needs you; it is not that you think you are unhindered and others agree that you are unhindered;
Not all people are bad, and not all good people are good.
Society and the world existed in such a simple and complex manner.
Little by little, I began to understand Yin Yijie's care and benevolence. I also made up my mind to come out.
Come out, let me know more, learn more.
Philosophy and economics, once learned, are like winter snows, slowly waiting for spring to melt, seep into the soil, and begin to absorb.
Although it was a bit cruel and somewhat thirsty, he had said that only by taking a longer view would one be able to progress even faster.
Yes, I'm growing up in this mess, aren't I?
It was strange to leave him, but his thoughts kept coming back to him, little by little, so clearly and vividly.
On the contrary, my parents had never seen or even thought of her.
It was as though he was the only existence in my world.
