Chapter 2346 Doomsday Survival Competition 8
"Stop working and come sit here." The boss weighed the money he made today in his hand, which was more than three thousand yuan, more than double the usual amount.
"Wait a minute, it'll be ready soon. I'll fry two more vegetables." Xining brought up the fried shredded cabbage and pork, and then fried sweet corn and eggs. There are not many dishes left, otherwise it would be better to fry shrimps and eggs.
Only then did the boss feel hungry. In order to do business, he often helped others make dinner and late night snacks, but he was hungry himself.
Being in a rare good mood, he took another bottle of beer from the side, opened it and poured it into the cup. He took two cups, but looking at the little girl cooking, her face was red in the firelight, her skin was rough and yellow, and she didn't look big, so she put the cups down and didn't help pour them.
When the scrambled eggs are ready, the boiled fish fillet pot on the small stove next to it is served hot.
Xining was not polite, filled up a large bowl of rice, sat down at the small dining table, and started eating opposite the boss.
"Do you want to drink?" the boss asked.
"I don't drink." Xining took big mouthfuls of rice and ate vegetables. It's fragrant and delicious. Apart from eating at a banquet, this body has never eaten such delicious food.
The boss saw her gobbling up the food and tried to ask: "How old are you and where are you from?"
"Zeng Zhaodi, from Zengjia Village, Huangtu Town, Beixian County, 19 years old, adult." Xining put one hand into his bib, took out his ID card from his cotton-padded coat pocket, and handed it over.
I took it and looked at it to check that the information was correct. He didn't expect the other party to be so direct, so he responded directly: "Three hundred a day, including food and accommodation. We start the stall at four o'clock in the afternoon every day and finish work at eleven o'clock in the evening. If there are still customers, we can finish at twelve o'clock at the most. How about that?" ”
I'm afraid that the other party won't be happy to add another one: "You just cook, you don't have to do the washing and garnishing."
"I only work for ten days." Xining said while eating.
"This..." It's because of the shortage of people that I want to hire a worker. Moreover, this girl is good at cooking and cooks quickly. If the time can be extended, that would be even better.
Xining made another attractive offer: "I will teach you two simple and low-cost specialties. Then it will be easier for you to find a helper than to find a cook."
"Okay!" Let's start working first. The boss handed over the three hundred yuan: "My surname is Qian."
"Thank you, Boss Qian." Xining took the money with both hands, nodded and stuffed it into his pocket, then picked up the bowls and chopsticks.
Once the decision is made, I feel relieved. Boss Qian picked up a piece of fish fillet with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and his eyes lit up. It's much more delicious than what he made. No wonder the business is so good today. After eight o'clock, everyone eats late-night snacks. After sitting down, everyone adds more dishes.
Seeing that Boss Qian was eating well, Xining asked: "Why are you alone? Why don't your wife and children help?"
Boss Qian took a sip of beer and killed a third of his body in one sip. He felt satisfied: "We divorced early. Let's be frank. I was impulsive when I was young and hit someone. I was sentenced to three years and paid half a million yuan. My wife She and I divorced, and the child was raised by my grandmother. She is a daughter. After I came out, I took my daughter back and started a small business.”
"My daughter is going abroad now to learn Chinese. Hehe, if you don't study at home, why go abroad to learn Chinese? The tuition and living expenses cost me hundreds of thousands every year."
The daughter is the biological child, and the parents who own the body are leeches. Xining picked up the empty wine glass next to him and poured half a glass of beer: "It's not easy, here's to you!"
After clinking glasses, he finished his drink in one sip and continued to eat.
As a middle-aged man, Boss Qian smiled faintly, drank the beer in his glass, and poured another glass.
Xining thought for a while, then looked down at herself: "Your daughter will wear the remaining clothes and give me two sets."
"Okay." Boss Qian agreed. Next, the two of them finished the meal in silence. Boss Qian also took the initiative to clean up the dishes and threw them into the trolley locked with an iron chain against the wall behind: "Go back and rest early."
Boss Qian's car is in an old and small neighborhood nearby, so the parking fee is much cheaper than the underground parking lot of the business building.
It is a 40-50% new family car with extended storage in the back. I usually use this car for grocery shopping and delivery. I drive it every day. I don’t know how long it has been since it was cleaned. It smells strange when I sit in it.
Boss Qian unnaturally opened some windows and turned up the heating and air conditioning.
The car drove into a community and parked in an open parking space. Not to mention, the car is not that good, but the house is pretty good, it is a commercial building.
Xining looked around for a week, and his breath was filled with white mist: "Did you buy it or rent it?"
"I bought it." Boss Qian led the way: "I bought it two years ago. I had already made some money at that time, and house prices had been falling for a few years. It happened that the old house was demolished, so I bought it with some money. Fortunately, I was jailed. If I had made money after I bought it a few years earlier, I would have lost more than a million and needed a loan.”
After taking the elevator upstairs, Boss Qian pressed his finger on the combination lock, opened the door, went in, turned on the light, and continued walking inside.
The room wasn't too messy, but there was a lot of dust in many places. You can tell at a glance that he only comes back to sleep and doesn't clean it often.
In this house with two bedrooms and one living room, Boss Qian opened the door to the side bedroom and turned on the light: "You will live in my daughter's room. You can take whatever clothes are in the cabinet and take away everything she needs. I don't have anything left behind." Throw them away, they are all very expensive, maybe she will want to wear them again one day.”
He is frugal and his clothes are from several years ago, but he treats his daughter extremely well. As long as the task falls on the daughter of such a family, it will be easy to do too much. There is no need to worry about money. Poor me, most of the money in my pocket was earned by myself today.
There is a single bed in the room, with a wardrobe next to it and a desk with a computer. The bed is covered with a layer of sheets to avoid getting dust. Boss Qian reaches out and pulls the sheets away. There are all mattresses and quilts underneath.
Xining nodded: "I want to take a shower, who takes the shower first?"
Boss Qian walked out: "I'll wash first, you girls wash very slowly."
It was indeed very slow. It wasn't that she was slow to take a shower, but that she hadn't taken a shower in almost a month. Plus, she usually ate raw garlic and her sweat smelled bad.
There is no other way. If you want to take a bath, you need to fetch water, boil it, and then pour it into a big wooden basin. In a room with earthen walls without heating, it is very troublesome to take a bath, and it is easy to catch cold and get sick, making it difficult for locals to pay attention to hygiene habits.
After washing for half an hour, I felt like the old dirt all over my body was wiped clean.
He reached out and wiped the foggy mirror, and saw "myself" in the mirror. He has a big face, flat facial features, small eyes, flat nose, and a proper passerby appearance. My cheeks were also red and had a little rash from being exposed to the cold wind for a long time. Even if she is eighteen or nineteen years old, she cannot be beautiful.
The hair is quite thick and black, but for convenience, the owner's mother uses scissors to cut it to the shoulders every six months, which is long enough to be tied with a rubber band.
This appearance is indeed ordinary, extremely ordinary. She married young, and after three or five years, she became the mother of two or three children. She looked like she was in her forties, just like other aunties in the village. There are just a few wrinkles on the flat black and yellow face.
Just like that, you still want a gift of 188,000 yuan? Hehe. Apart from being used as a reproductive tool by men, it has no use.
After cleaning up, she wiped her hair and walked out. Boss Qian was sitting on the sofa in the living room, scrolling through his mobile phone.
