Chapter 33 The opening of the mahjong parlor
After a busy day, Tao Xueming was completely tired and lay on the ground.
On the first day of opening today, it has been tossed into this miserable situation, and the body can still eat for a short time, but if the time goes on for a long time, it will definitely be over.
You'll have to ask someone to help.
After resting for a while, Tao Xueming got up to clean up the garbage in the house, there were cigarette butts and melon seed shells all over the floor, and a lot of phlegm or something.
There are too many people who come to play mahjong today, and there are many people who come to eat and drink onlookers, a mahjong table, at least a dozen or twenty onlookers.
He was alone, and he couldn't keep busy at all.
After more than an hour, the house was finally almost cleaned, and Tao Xueming returned to the bathhouse exhausted.
After taking a shower, I lay down in my room.
"Taozi, I haven't settled the account today. Bao Zhipeng shouted.
"You can do the math, just give me a number. ”
Tao Xueming said angrily.
"Then I'll do it myself. ”
Bao Zhipeng opened the drawer by himself, took out all the change, and began to count.
After about 20 minutes, Bao Zhipeng walked into the room after calculating, and said with a smile: "Today's business is good, and I have made a profit of almost 200 yuan." ”
Tao Xueming didn't react after hearing this, he was used to two or three hundred a day, and he didn't pay attention to this money at all.
"Baozi, let's ask a few people to help, my mahjong parlor needs at least two people, and the bathhouse is also looking for someone to come over. ”
"No, no, I'm just here alone. Bao Zhipeng hurriedly waved his hand, thinking that it would cost money to invite someone over, so it was better to get it yourself.
Tao Xueming also understood what the other party meant, he knew that Baozi was a bit deductible, and he was very reluctant to spend a penny, who made him poor when he was a child.
After coming over for a while, Bao Zhipeng got some pickles and steamed buns, but Tao Xueming was in no mood to eat them, so he lay down and went to sleep.
On this night, he had a good dream, dreaming that he had made a fortune and bought a big villa, and his father also found a very beautiful stepmother from scratch.
Early the next morning, Tao Xueming woke up by himself.
When I woke up, I found that it was still dark outside, but it was about six o'clock.
Lying down again, it is impossible to fall asleep, Tao Xueming got dressed and walked out of the room, and then found that Bao Zhipeng had already started to burn the stove.
The other party is more positive than him.
Subsequently, Tao Xueming took chalk and wrote a recruitment information on a wooden board and put it at the gate.
Time flickered, a few hours passed, and around seven or eight o'clock, a family of three came to take a bath.
Tao Xueming found that people nowadays seem to like bathing very much, and they are willing to come over to soak for a while if they have nothing to do, and then go up to the second floor to chat, play cards or something.
This reminded him of the predecessor of the sauna.
Tao Xueming began to think in his heart, now sauna is just an incomprehensible word for most people, and it has not been completely spread.
If you get it yourself in advance, it's definitely the county, no, it should be said to be the first in the province.
People can only remember who the first is, can't remember the second, as long as they open the first sauna in the province, it is difficult not to be prosperous.
However, thinking of the various difficulties of opening a sauna, Tao Xueming was a little worried.
Opening a sauna requires capital, and now my business has just started, and I don't have much money.
Even if you want to open one, it's a little too far away, and after thinking about it, maybe it's not too late to open in a year.
He vaguely remembered that the first sauna in the province, the Royal Baths, appeared in 1991, two years before now.
As long as you open one in advance in the nineties, you can do it.
While he was wandering, a man walked in from outside the door, and stood at the door without saying a word.
When Tao Xueming turned around, he was suddenly startled: "What are you doing, scaring people to death." ”
The man standing at the door, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was dressed shabbyly, with a pair of rotten cloth shoes on his feet, and his face was dirty, and he was very hungry.
After Tao Xueming looked at the other party carefully, he thought to himself, is this here to ask for food?
He had a flash of kindness and took a dollar and handed it over.
However, the man shook his head, and he reached out and pointed to the sign outside the door.
Tao Xueming suddenly realized that he was looking for a job.
"You said it earlier, I thought you were ......"
Tao Xueming smiled, but he didn't say the word "ask for food" later, so as not to hurt people's self-esteem.
"I'm only looking for locals here, so it's convenient to stay and eat, where are you from?"
He asked.
The man lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I'm from the south, I don't have parents at home, and I don't have any other requirements, as long as you give me a bite to eat." ”
Tao Xueming was surprised, listening to the other party's accent, it seemed that he came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, why did he come so far to the north.
After pondering for a while, Tao Xueming felt that it was not bad to find a coolie who didn't need money, as long as he gave the other party a bite to eat, he could work, and there was still money left.
"Boss, give me two meals a day, one meal is fine, I can sleep on the ground. ”
The man said in a low voice.
Tao Xueming smiled, does Lao Tzu seem to be that kind of person, how can he still manage three meals a day.
Although I am a little suspicious that this guy may have escaped from an accident in his hometown, but the young people of this era, who are not impulsive at the time.
As long as the other party is willing to work honestly.
"My name is Tao Xueming, and I am the boss here, what is your name. ”
"My name is Xiang Yuhang. ”
"Xiaohang, my work here is also simple, you go to my mahjong parlor, three meals a day, from eight o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening, occasionally there will be all-nighters, including food and accommodation, and you will be given fifteen a month, are you willing?"
After hearing this, Xiang Yuhang nodded without hesitation, and said thank you in his mouth.
Tao Xueming also nodded secretly, looking at the kid's posture, it didn't look like he was asking for food, and he didn't know why he ran so far.
"I'll show you there. ”
Tao Xueming took Xiang Yuhang directly to the mahjong hall.
After coming in, Tao Xueming gave the other party some pointers, what is the work to be done every day, and what should be paid attention to.
Although Xiang Yuhang didn't say much, he listened carefully.
After Tao Xueming finished speaking, Xiang Yuhang suddenly held on to the wall and couldn't move, and his expression was still very painful.
Tao Xueming was taken aback, this kid would not be an infectious disease with any hidden dangers.
"Gollum. ”
Xiang Yuhang's stomach screamed.
Tao Xueming's face suddenly darkened, damn, he was hungry.
……
At lunchtime, Tao Xueming cooked noodles and steamed buns, he and Bao Zhipeng ate very little, but Xiang Yuhang was like a starving ghost reincarnated.
After eating five steamed buns, a big bowl of noodles, and drinking a lot of soup, my stomach was round.
But he ate too fast, and his stomach couldn't stand it, Xiang Yuhang suddenly ran outside and vomited, Tao Xueming went outside to take a look, and the things he spit out were except for what he had just eaten.
There are also some vegetable leaves, tree bark or something.
He was surprised in his heart, this kid couldn't have picked up garbage all the way, it was really awesome.
After Xiang Yuhang vomited, he went back and began to continue eating, and after eating, he put two steamed buns in his pocket.
"I'm going to get busy. ”
Xiang Yuhang lowered his head and went to the mahjong parlor.
"Taozi, where did you find someone to ask for food? ”
Bao Zhipeng couldn't help but ask.
Tao Xueming shrugged his shoulders and said: "He came from the south, and said that he had no parents, and he only needed fifteen yuan a month, which was mainly cheap." ”
Bao Zhipeng pouted, fifteen yuan is also very expensive, he thinks it is good to give seven or eight yuan.
"Don't worry, if he can't do his job, just let him get out. ”
After Tao Xueming finished speaking, he passed with a smile.
When I came to the mahjong hall, there were many people playing mahjong inside, and there were even more people watching than playing.
After a day, Tao Xueming sat at the bar and didn't move much, and he was the one running around to Yuhang the whole time.
Tao Xueming has always seen it in his eyes, this kid works neatly, moves quickly, and must arrive when he is called.
At night, without waiting for him to speak, Xiang Yuhang took the initiative to clean up the garbage on the ground, and even wiped the table with a rag.
Tao Xueming felt that fifteen yuan a month was too little.
In the evening, the three of them sat down to eat together, and Xiang Yuhang could eat three big steamed buns without eating pickles.
After eating, don't forget to put two in your pocket.
"Boss, I'll just sleep on the floor at night, leave me alone. ”
Tao Xueming pouted, on such a cold day, you can't freeze to death if you sleep on the floor.
Immediately, he and Bao Zhipeng each took out the futon, let the other party lay on the floor, and slept in the boiler room, where it was warm.
When he went to bed at night, as soon as Tao Xueming closed his eyes, he began to think about a lot of things in his mind.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep.
In the blink of an eye, another night passed.
After Tao Xueming got up and went outside, there was a sudden sound in the boiler room, and he immediately went over.
After coming over, I saw Xiang Yuhang helping to light the stove.
Tao Xueming didn't say anything, went to heat up a few steamed buns, and after they were done, he asked the two of them to come over and eat together.
At eight o'clock, Tao Xueming opened the door of the mahjong hall, the three-day free period has passed, and today is the first day of official business.
He was worried that business would not be good today.
However, about half an hour after opening the door, a few aunts came in one after another, sat at a table and began to play mahjong.
Xiang Yuhang immediately went over and poured hot water, and put a plate of melon seed candy next to him.
Tao Xueming leaned on the stool, cocked Erlang's legs, and glanced at it from time to time.
At noon, there were more people coming to the mahjong parlor, although it was not full of more than 20 tables, but the business was not bad.
Tao Xueming went to a toilet, and when he came out, he saw that there were many more people in the hall, and one of the tables was even more familiar.
"Why is Director Li's wife here? ”
After Tao Xueming was surprised, he immediately went over to say hello.
After Mother Li saw Tao Xueming, she also introduced her friends with a smile on her face.
The friends of Director Li's wife are not ordinary part-time workers, they are all self-employed small bosses in the neighborhood.
The kind that doesn't treat one or two hundred as money.
"Mom, why are you still playing mahjong here, and you're going home for dinner. ”
Li Cui walked in from the outside and shouted angrily.
"You go back first, Mom is playing two. ”
Li Cui rolled her eyes helplessly, she looked up at Tao Xueming, and Tao Xueming walked over with a smile.
