Chapter 49: The Assistant
After leading Cao Dong into the hotel, Duan Yun found that there was not a single person eating in the restaurant at this time, only a woman wearing waiter's clothes sitting on a stool by the window knitting a sweater.
If there were no guests at noon in the hotel in the future, the boss would have become an ant on a hot pot a long time ago, but right now, no one in the hotel stepped forward to greet him.
"Comrade, is there a menu?" Duan Yun asked after glancing at the waiter who knitted the sweater.
"The menu is on the wall, don't you have a good eye?" The middle-aged waitress said with a little impatience, and then added: "Now there are wontons left." ”
"Well, wontons will do the same. Duan Yun pursed his lips when he heard this, and then said, "Then serve me two bowls of chaos first." ”
"Come and pay and get the ticket. The waitress pointed to Duan Yun and pointed to the window where the rice was served.
"Hmm. Duan Yun nodded and walked over.
Today, Duan Yun took some food stamps from home, and after paying the money, he and Cao Dong found a table and sat down.
After a while, two bowls of wontons were served.
Seeing the fresh meat wontons with oil flowers in the bowl, Cao Dong's eyes suddenly lit up a little.
"You're welcome, eat. Duan Yun had already eaten dinner, so these two bowls of wontons were bought for Cao Dong.
"Hmm. Cao Dong was not polite, and picked up the rice bowl and ate it violently.
"Ahem!" seemed to be due to eating too quickly, Cao Dong was choked on the first bite.
It may be difficult for future generations to imagine what it is like for a person to lack oil and water in his stomach for a long time, and Cao Dong can't even remember the last time he ate meat.
At this moment, Cao Dong's appearance of eating can be described as gobbling up, a big bowl of fresh meat wontons, and it will be turned to the sky in less than a minute.
"Slow down, no one will rob you. Duan Yun reminded on the side.
"Hmm. Cao Dong answered, picked up another bowl of wontons and ate it.
In the midst of the wind and clouds, Cao Dong was already in his stomach with two bowls of wontons, and he was still looking at Duan Yun with straight eyes.
"Wait. Seeing this, Duan Yun got up and asked for three bowls of fresh meat chaos.
Since you invite someone to eat, you must be full, and Duan Yun is really pitiful when he sees this Cao Dong.
Long-term malnutrition, Cao Dong's whole person is almost skinny, with prominent cheekbones on his face and a burnt complexion.
As for the clothes on the body, they are not much better than those called Hanako, and there are patches patched everywhere, and they are a little whitish when washed.
Soon, after Cao Dong's three bowls of chaos were swallowed, he looked directly at Duan Yun again.
In desperation, Duan Yun asked for three bowls of wontons......
Seeing that Cao Dong was thin and small, but he had such a large amount of food, even the waiters in the restaurant were dumbfounded.
But fortunately, after eight bowls of fresh meat wontons, Cao Dong finally burped with satisfaction.
"Brother, let me do what you say!"
Cao Dong, who had filled his belly, was grateful to Duan Yun and did not mention the matter of advance salary.
"Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere. After Duan Yun opened the lock, he motioned for Cao Dong to sit in the back.
Subsequently, Duan Yun took Cao Dong to the rental house where he was.
"Brother, are you ...... Repairing electrical appliances?" followed Duan Yun into the rental house, and after seeing the soldering iron and multimeter on the wooden table inside, Cao Dong asked in surprise.
Cao Dong also knows that there are a few specialized electrical repairers in the factory, but the level is very average, and there is no special shop, but there is no doubt that this is indeed a good money-making craft.
"Did you go to high school before?" Duan Yun asked as he turned his head to Cao Dong.
"No, I won't go to ...... second year of junior high school," Cao Dong said softly.
In fact, Cao Dong's studies when he was a student were still above average, but his family was too poor, even if the tuition for nine years of compulsory education was free, in order to share the pressure on his family, Cao Dong came out early to supplement his family by picking up scrap iron.
At that time, there were many people like Cao Dong who picked up scrap iron, usually with a large magnet, and then went to the garbage dump where the factory piled up steelmaking waste slag to collect scraps, and they could earn about seven or eight yuan a month.
"I'll tell you the truth, now my electrical appliance repair business is only part-time, and I usually have to work in the factory, so sometimes I can't be busy alone. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Of course, I won't treat you badly, you follow me, I will pay you your salary at the end of the month, and give you a ...... in January." 35 bucks, do you think you can accept it?"
"Okay, I'll do it!" Cao Dong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
You must know that now working in the Red Star Gear Factory, the apprenticeship is only 28 yuan a month, and after becoming a regular worker, the salary of the first year is only 35 yuan, and Duan Yun gave him 35 yuan for a novice who has just started working, which has indeed greatly exceeded Cao Dong's expectations.
And Cao Dong's family is just him, and 35 yuan is enough for a bachelor like him who has no burden, which is enough for him to live a relatively 'rich' life.
"This is my five dollars in advance, and I don't have many food stamps, so you can go to the black market and change them yourself." Duan Yun said, took out a five-dollar sheet from his pocket, handed it to Cao Dong, and then said with a smile: "I'll buy you a set of work clothes and shoes when I go back, but you are also mixed with me, I can't afford to lose people by dressing like this." ”
Duan Yun wasn't worried that this Cao Dong would slip away after taking the money, after all, he was helpless now, and unless he was so stupid that he couldn't be helped, he wouldn't let go of his 'golden thighs'.
"Thank you, brother!"
Cao Dong at this moment is like a dream.
With a job, an advance salary, and new work clothes, this is like 'turning over a serf and singing' for Cao Dong!
"Wait a minute, you can watch from the side, learn as much as you can, and ask if you don't understand. Duan Yun said, opened a bag from the corner of the small room, and poured the aluminum pipe and angle iron inside on the ground.
Duan Yun planned to ask Cao Dong to help him assemble and install the antenna.
At present, Duan Yun's antenna business has just opened a few doors in the factory, and he has limited working hours, so he doesn't have much time to carry out publicity while assembling it.
In fact, in addition to the gear factory, there are many industrial and mining enterprises around Daxing, especially the Mining Bureau, where the penetration rate of television sets is much higher than that of Daxing, and the income of ordinary workers is also higher than that of Daxing.
And Cao Dong can usually work in this rental house, and when he has nothing to do, he goes to the surrounding factories and mines to sell antennas, which will undoubtedly provide Duan Yun with great help.
As for teaching Cao Dong to assemble antennas, Duan Yun was not at all worried that this kid would set up his own door and steal his own business in the future.
Because the most core technology is the antenna amplifier part, Duan Yun will still do it himself, and he will not teach Cao Dong everything.
