Chapter 8 Listen to Feng Shui
Early the next morning, Su Ming came to the zoo again.
Director Song arranged for the middle-aged eldest sister in charge of the written test to take Su Ming to handle the entry, and he held a meeting to investigate the responsibility for the accident.
The fences around Monkey Mountain are all rubber-coated and reinforced, which is very sturdy and regularly inspected, so it stands to reason that it is absolutely safe. But this time, he inexplicably broke such a big hole, and the little girl Orange Orange fell down, almost making a big fuss, and Director Song was extremely annoyed by this and asked to investigate it to the end.
The middle-aged eldest sister, surnamed Tong, is the director of the zoo's director's office, assisting the zoo director in handling the daily work of the zoo.
Sister Tong is very enthusiastic, and has been talking to Su Ming non-stop, introducing him to the situation of the zoo and the work arrangement.
Su Ming is considered an 'apprentice' and is responsible for assisting another old breeder in feeding the animals.
The animals eat at different times, so Su Ming must spend most of his time in the zoo, and the old director sees that he is young and strong, and he is also very good at dealing with animals, so he simply gave him a dormitory in the park, and if he encounters another emergency, he can also come to deal with it in time.
This is exactly what Su Ming wants, anyway, he is a bachelor, and he has nothing to worry about, so he was ready to rent a house close to the zoo, and now he even saves rent.
Not only Su Ming, but also many zoo employees also live in the park.
In terms of income, the basic salary, plus subsidies, duty pay, food expenses, a lot of bits and pieces, except for five insurances and one housing fund a month, there are about 3,000 in hand, and it will rise year by year in the future.
The salary is not much, but Su Ming feels that if he can make good use of the ability of Animal Friends, the income brought by him is definitely not comparable to the salary, and there is no need to worry about the gains and losses in front of him. The zoo is blessed with unique conditions and can come into contact with a large number of various animals, so even if the zoo doesn't give money, as long as he takes care of the food, he is willing to do it.
"Xiao Su, don't think too much, any temporary worker or regular worker, it's all the same. Equal pay is now given to equal work, and regular and casual workers are treated the same. And let me tell you, in the past two years, the country has to transform, and public institutions, especially those like our zoos, have no longer given new staff......"
Obviously there was no one around, but Sister Tong still looked mysterious, and lowered her voice: "I heard that our zoo will be restructured soon, and when the time comes, it will be self-responsible, maybe it won't be compiled, so you don't have to care too much about the compilation." ”
"Uh-oh." Su Ming nodded, but what he was thinking about was not a matter of preparation at all.
Just like salary, the 'establishment', which is extremely important in the eyes of others, is now like a floating cloud for him.
I followed Sister Tong through the Wolf Mountain and Tiger Hill in the center of the park, and then through a small forest, and walked along the forest path for more than ten minutes, and finally arrived at the dormitory.
Su Ming's eyes lit up!
In front of me, there is an artificial lake about a dozen acres in size, surrounded by trees, and the water is sparkling in the sun.
Seven or eight hovercraft stopped on an artificial beach on the edge of a small lake, and at the end of the beach, there was a winding water corridor leading to an antique two-story building in the middle of the lake.
Although the building is a little old, it can be carved and painted, which is quite ancient, like a water attic.
From a distance, you can see a plaque hanging on the gate, which uses traditional Chinese characters to write the four big characters of 'Listen to Feng Shui Pavilion'.
"I'll go! Wonderland on earth! ”
Su Ming was about to call out, no wonder so many people wanted to come to the zoo to work, although the money was not much and it was not compiled, but the environment was so good that there were no friends!
This is a dormitory, it is clearly a small landscape villa!
If it weren't for the fact that I worked here, I wouldn't have been able to buy a house like this in the zoo, no matter how much money I had.
"We are a service tourism unit, and the environment is naturally good. This place used to be a souvenir attraction, but later it couldn't be operated anymore, so it was simply used as a dormitory for employees. Sister Tong said.
"How many people do you have?" Su Ming asked.
The environment is so good, if you live a lot of people, it will be very bad.
"Just you, our zoo is very big, and the staff all live alone or as a family. But staying here for a long time is also very boring and lonely. You young people like to be busy, so if you want to go out, just say hello and ask for leave. Sister Tong said.
"It's okay, I like it here."
"That's fine. There are six rooms on both sides of the water pavilion, and the furniture is ready-made, but it is a little old, no one lives in it for a long time, and you want to clean it. Water, electricity, internet, and telephones are available. Occasionally, there may be tourists who come here to play, if you want to make some extra money, you can contract those boats, and calculate your own losses, and earn income and open the park. ”
Sister Tong introduced the situation of the water pavilion to Su Ming again, and then left the key to Su Ming and went back to work.
Su Ming walked along the corridor, the water corridor is about two meters wide, on both sides are stone chairs for people to rest and stop, walking in the corridor, there is a breeze with a slight water vapor blowing on the water surface, which makes people feel refreshed.
The corridor is not long, and after turning two small corners, you will arrive at the 'Listening to Feng Shui Pavilion'.
The two hardwood doors, inlaid with nine rows of rivets, are like the main entrance of the ancient eunuch's house, and a copper lock thicker than Su Ming's arm hangs on the door.
Su Ming weighed it, the lock was probably twenty pounds heavy, and with these two gates, it was more effective than any security door.
When the lock was opened and the door was opened, there was a creak, and a stale smell came to the face.
The name of this Feng Shui Pavilion is quite elegant, and it looks very imposing from the outside, but it is not flattering from the inside. There was dust everywhere, and with a single step, you could make a footprint in the dust on the ground, and there was a foul smell in the air.
"Ahem, ahem...... It smells bad to death......" Su Ming covered his nose and opened all the windows from room to room.
There are a total of six rooms in the water pavilion, which together are about less than 200 square meters, divided into bedrooms, living rooms, storage rooms, and a power distribution room.
Tables, chairs, benches and cooking utensils are all available, there is also a set of artificial leather sofas in the hall, and there are some commonly used tools in the storage room, which can be lived in by cleaning.
After getting a little familiar with the environment, Su Ming hurriedly pushed open the back door and went out, waiting for the smell inside to smell better before cleaning.
After the back door goes out, there is a water platform of forty or fifty square meters, surrounded by a fence, standing on the platform, the view is quite wide, you can see the small lake and the surrounding scenery.
It is said that this platform was originally used as a tea house, but unfortunately the experience is not good, and no one comes to drink tea.
It was a little hot, so Su Ming simply sat on the edge of the platform, took off his shoes, and soaked his feet in the lake.
The lake water is cool and cool, refreshing, very cool!
"What a great place. But it's no wonder that the zoo can't make money, and such a good place is empty. ”
In fact, it can't be regarded as 'empty', Yangchuan Zoo is divided into three major areas: animal area, garden area, and viewing area, which belongs to the viewing area, which is equivalent to a small park.
"So, I'm not the one who runs the park?"
Su Ming smiled, and the image of an old janitor wearing a blue tunics with a red armband came to mind.
At this moment, my feet soaked in the lake water suddenly felt a little itchy.
There seems to be something in the water!
