"Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in a hotel?"
"Uh---, I'm here looking for a job?"
"Looking for a job?"
"Oh, I'm here to find work."
"Well, I've got enough people here, so you'd better go somewhere else."
"Guest, please take a seat--- what do you need?"
"I'm here to find something to do."
"Well, I'm missing a bartender here."
"Really, that's great. How is the treatment? ”
"Eat and live."
"None?"
"Of course, what else do you want."
.
Dock.
"Big brother, do you still need someone here?"
"If you want, but can you do it with your little body?"
"Of course, I'm strong."
"Alright then, you take this and go to the back of the line."
"Hehe, alright."
"Hurry up, hurry up, you stinky minion, haven't you eaten?"
Bang Bang Bang! Bang bang bang!
"Ouch Ouch Ouch ---!"
"I'm sorry, my little brother temporarily remembered that there was something going on at home, so I'll come back tomorrow."

"Alas, I can't imagine that the employment pressure in the Northern Song Dynasty is even greater than that of my time, and those bosses, typical capitalists, MD, die in one day, and only eat and live, not even a salary, what a fucking cheat." Li Qi stood by the river, spitting bitter water at the surface of the river.
In a month at most, Drunken Xianju is afraid that it will change hands, and Li Qi will not take advantage of this gap to find a job quickly, otherwise I am afraid that he will really have to sleep on the street by then.
But after looking for a whole morning, I didn't find a more decent job to do, which made Li Qi anxious.
"Baked cakes, baked cakes."
Pancake? Wu Dalang?
Li Qi's face was overjoyed, and he turned his head sharply to look, unfortunately, the person who shouted "baked cakes" was not the legendary Wu Dalang, who was less than five feet tall, but an old man with a white beard, I saw that the old man was wearing a linen shirt, carrying a bamboo burden, shouting, and slowly walking towards Li Qi.
Li Qi looked disappointed and let out a long sigh.
Of course, Li Qi would not have any interest in Wu Dalang, but he really wanted to meet Wu Dalang's beautiful and coquettish wife--- Pan Jinlian.
However, according to what is written in "Water Margin", Wu Dalang is a person from Qinghe County, how could he appear in Bianliang, Tokyo, and he is also a character in the novel, whether there is such a person in real history remains to be investigated, and the most important point is that what others Wu Dalang sells is not baked cakes at all, but cooking cakes, but Li Qi himself remembers it wrongly.
Wu Dalang didn't see it, Li Qi's stomach was gurgling, he ran all morning, he didn't even drink a glass of water, at this time he was already hungry, and when the old man came to him, he hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, how do you sell this baked cake?" ”
The old man smiled honestly: "One penny for one." ”
It's cheaper, too. Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay, give me one first." ”
When the old man saw that there was a business, his face was happy, and he hurriedly put the burden down, uncovered the lid of one of the baskets, and saw that it was a basket made of bamboo chips, and the basket was covered with a white cloth.
The old man took out a piece of baked cake from the basket, wrapped it in a piece of yellow paper, and handed it to Li Qi.
"Thank you!"
Li Qi took the baked cake, then took out a penny from his bosom and put it in the old man's cocoon-covered hand.
Li Qi has eaten a lot of all kinds of cakes in his life, but he really has never eaten this Northern Song Dynasty baked cake, and he is quite looking forward to it, and his stomach is already empty, so he picked up the cake and took a big bite.
Wow! It's so unpalatable! What the hell is this, why doesn't it even taste at all.
It's unpalatable, and it's hard to swallow, just after eating the first bite, Li Qi was choked half to death, and hurriedly thought about the old man for help: "Ahem, cough, uncle, do you have water here to drink?" ”
The old man sneered and said, "This little brother, I'm really embarrassed, the water I brought has been drunk by me." ”
No way!
Inhale! Hold your breath! Out!
Li Qi took several deep breaths in a row before relieving himself.
"Little brother, are you alright?" The old man saw that Li Qi's face was flushed, and asked with a worried face.
Li Qi let out a long breath, shook his head, looked at the baked cake in his hand, he really wanted to cry without tears, but at this time he was hungry again, and in desperation, he could only chew slowly and swallow carefully, and ate in small bites, really aggrieved.
Some people buy such unpalatable pancakes?
Li Qi pondered while eating, and the more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt, so he asked the old man, "Uncle, is business okay lately?" ”
The old man sat on the flat shoulder, wiping his sweat, shaking his head and sighing: "It's okay in winter, but since spring, it's not good, don't hide it, little brother, you are still the second guest I met today." ”
It seems that I am not the only one who suffers.
Li Qi balanced his heart a little, and then asked, "Then how much can you earn in a month?" ”
The old man said: "I can't make a lot of money, so I can only barely open my mouth." ”
Marvel!
It's not a miracle that such an unpalatable thing can barely open your mouth. If this baked cake is sold on the streets of Beijing, it is estimated that you will have to pay as much as you make.
In fact, this baked cake is not as unpalatable as Li Qi said, otherwise this old man would have starved to death, where would he dare to pick it out and sell it. It's just that in Richie's time, there were too many delicious cakes, such as hamburgers, pizzas, etc., which were meat and fruits, could they not be delicious. And this baked cake only has flour, nothing is added, where is Li Qi used to eating.
Li Qi has never missed hamburgers so much in his heart, although hamburgers have always occupied the position of junk food in his heart before, but compared to this baked cake, I really don't know how many times stronger.
Li Qi looked at the old man who was honest and honest, and at such an old age, he still carried the burden out to run for life, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he wanted to help him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you want to make more money?" ”
Isn't this nonsense, who would be afraid of having a lot of money.
The old man's eyes were shining, and he nodded hurriedly: "Little brother, do you want to sell a few more baked cakes?" ”
Sweat! Still buying? You really think I'm long-lived!
Li Qi shook his head and said, "Even if I buy you a few more cakes, it will only help you for a while, if you want to make it for a long time, the key is still in this cake." ”
The old man was full of disappointment when he saw that Li Qi didn't want to buy his cake, but when he heard the back, he was puzzled and asked, "Little brother, do you mean there is a problem with this cake?" ”
"It's not just a problem, it's a big problem." Li Qi first frightened the old man, and then said: "To be honest, the taste of this cake is really difficult to eat, so if you want business to be prosperous, you must make changes in this cake." ”
"Change?" The old man was puzzled.
"Not bad!"
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "That's it, let me first talk about your method of making cakes, do you first use cold water to mix the noodles, then stir them with chopsticks, wait until they are evenly mixed, and then knead them into dough, and finally put them directly into the oven to bake." ”
After hearing this, the old man exclaimed in surprise: "Little brother, could it be that you also sell baked cakes at home?" ”
If I were a bread seller, would I still have your share?
Li Qi broke out in a cold sweat and said, "You just need to sue me, yes or no?" ”
The old man nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, little brother, what you said is right, that's what I did in my ---." ”
"That's right." Li Qi nodded and said: "The cake made by this method will only be thick and hard, making it difficult to swallow, so those customers will not come again when they visit you once, this is a big taboo in business, especially in the food and drink, you must attract customers from the taste of the food, which is also the most basic." ”
The old man nodded and asked, "Then according to what the little brother said, how should this baked cake be made?" ”
Li Qi smiled slightly: "It's very simple, you first have to use warm water and noodles, while stirring, slowly add water, so that the noodles will be softer, when there is no dry noodles, then knead the soft dough by hand, remember, after kneading, you must first put the dough in a warm place, let it for a quarter of an hour, and then put it in the oven to bake." ”
The old man would still doubt Li Qi's words now, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, I remember, use warm water and noodles, add water while stirring, and put it in a warm place for a quarter of an hour." ”
Hey! This old man's memory is quite good.
Li Qi smiled slightly, and continued: "But this is still the most basic, if you want everyone to buy your baked cakes, then you have to make some more distinctive cakes." ”
