Chapter 113: The Chinese in Kaiserslautern
Ni Tu can be regarded as settling down in Flender Lixi's house.
The couple behaved very friendly, as if they had learned the lesson of the past, when Ni Tu was at home, the conversation between the two would usually be kept very low, and even if there was a disagreement between them, they would always be in their own room when they quarreled.
And Ni Tu also adheres to the polite demeanor of the Chinese, tries to have friendly contacts with the Flanders and his wife, and he always rushes to do housework with an oriental thinking.
Mr. and Mrs. Flanders were very fond of Chinese culture, and they agreed with Ni Tu that they would help each other improve their language, that Ni Tu would teach them Chinese, and that Mr. and Mrs. Flanders would teach them German.
They are all taught from the simplest, and Ni Tu feels that this kind of learning is more vivid and easy to remember than what he learned in a language class. And many of the everyday words that Flender Ritch invisibly taught Ni Tu are the key to helping Ni Tu adapt to life in Germany.
Although Ni Tu came to Germany alone, he did not mess up his food, clothing, housing and transportation, which seems to prove that Ni Tu has a strong ability to adapt, and his advantage began to manifest.
After solving the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Ni Tu now needs to solve the problem of money the most.
As the saying goes, "a penny is hard for a hero", since he came in a hurry, Ni Tu still had to plan early.
When he first came to Germany and had not yet entered the rhythm of studying, Ni Tu was ready to look for a job.
Since he is not fluent in German, it is very troublesome to find a job, and he cannot be accepted by a regular German unit in his case, so the best job Ni Tu can get is to work in a Chinese restaurant.
The good news is that there happens to be a Chinese restaurant in Kaiserslautern called "Zhonghua Chuanfu", and the bad news is that the restaurant doesn't recruit people at all.
Faced with financial pressure, Ni Tu decided to try it out with a cheeky face, and he had to stand on his own, especially when he was uprooted.
The owner of the restaurant, who has lived abroad for many years, knows how to be inclusive, and he has made some improvements on Chinese cuisine to make it more in line with German tastes. This restaurant is well-known in Kaiserslautern and does good business.
Ni Tu came to this restaurant in the center of the city, and the whole store was decorated with Chinese characteristics, with red lanterns hanging high, a pair of stone lions in front of the door, and red couplets posted on the door.
In this wandering overseas, in this foreign country, seeing Chinese elements, Ni Tu felt cordial from the bottom of his heart. He came to the restaurant in the morning, and it wasn't business hours yet.
When the restaurant is open, it should be that the restaurant is making preparations before opening the door to admit customers. There was a man in a robe in front of the counter who was counting the accounts, and it felt like he should be the boss.
Ni Tu walked forward and asked, "Are you the owner of this restaurant?" ”
Du Jianbai was calculating the cost of buying materials today, and when he heard someone calling him, he habitually raised his head, and saw a young man in his early seventies standing at the counter, as if waiting for his reply. "Yes, what's the matter with me?"
"I'm here to get a job." Ni Tu said cheekily.
"That's right...... It's a pity that there is no shortage of people in our store, is the little brother just going abroad? It's the first time I've seen you among the Chinese in Kaiser," Du Jianbai responded to Ni Tu.
"I just went abroad and want to feed myself." Ni Tu smiled, a little shy.
"Are you having any problems?" Du Jianbai has been abroad for many years, and at the beginning, he would often encounter some compatriots who encountered difficult situations, and he would help them, but with the development of the times, this situation has become more and more rare.
A large part of the Chinese who study abroad now are the children of rich families, and even if the family is not rich, there will be some miscellaneous scholarships, so as not to make their lives embarrassing.
"Sort of." Ni Tu is not a rich man, and he went abroad in a hurry, even if he has subsidies from domestic universities, he still has a very tight life.
Du Jianbai looked at the person in front of him seriously, he intuitively believed that this child was not rich, so in the spirit of helping out, he took out 200 euros from his pocket and prepared to hand it to Ni Tu: "Young man, you use this money, they are all Chinese, and it is not easy to be outside." "This is a kind-hearted Chinese, which is really rare.
Ni Tu didn't mean to accept it, he said: "I still want to earn the 200 euros with my own hands." ”
Du Jianbai smiled, he said: "Young man, take this money, it's not ashamed, don't be embarrassed." ”
"Boss, you might as well give me a job!" Ni Tu is very stubborn.
Du Jianbai was embarrassed, the key was that there was really no shortage of manpower in his store now, and he didn't know how to get rid of this persistent young man. He didn't respond positively, but asked about Ni Tu's situation: "What's your name?" Did you come to Kaiser to study? ”
Ni Tu replied simply: "My name is Ni Tu, I am a student at Kaiserslautern University of Technology, can you give me a job?" ”
"If you're a student, you've just come to Germany, you're going to be busy, so why are you in such a hurry to find a job?"
"In the past, I used to have clothes to reach out for food in the country, I wanted to support myself, and I came in a hurry, and now I am really short of money."
Du Jianbai asked: "Are you tired of doing dirty work?" He seemed to want to test Ni Tu.
"Yes." Ni Tu was ready for the worst.
"That's it, I don't have any serious work for you here, if you can accept it, you can come once a day in the morning and evening in the future, help carry the goods, if you are not afraid of dirty, and then help me pour out the kitchen waste to clean the kitchen, I can't give you too much in a month, 500 euros if you accept it, come and do it, and settle the bill for you at the end of the month."
Ni Tu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and the first time he came cheekily to find a job, it turned out to be done.
This made him happy, so he bowed to the kind boss and said, "Boss, I can get to work right away." ”
"Call me Uncle Du, they are all compatriots, and it is fate to meet together in this foreign country, and we should support each other, and we will be friends and family in the future. You don't have to be in such a hurry, you must have a lot of things to take care of when you just come abroad, and you can come back when everything is in order. Chen Jianbai was very tolerant, "You take the 200 euros first, which is considered the salary I paid you in advance." ”
Du Jianbai was not afraid of the 200 euros, he just asked Ni Tu about the situation and let Ni Tu go, obviously he had decided that Ni Tu would not break his word and get fat, after so many years abroad, he still has the ability to see people.
And Ni Tu came to work early the next morning, which made Lao Du very satisfied, at least Ni Tu's attitude was very correct, and in this way, Ni Tu started his part-time career.
After returning to Flanders' house, Ni Tu helped Mr. Flanders Lisch with the housework, and he came out to clean the yard.
While doing housework, Ni Tu suddenly remembered one thing, that is, he heard Schmork mention that this family also has a daughter, but he has been here for 3 days, but he has not seen their daughter, and he can't help but feel a little strange. But when you think about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, what if you are studying abroad? Ni Tu can only wonder to himself, casually asking others does not seem to be a popular thing abroad.
……
In the blink of an eye, Ni Tu has been in Germany for a whole week. He actually accomplished a small feat: he took care of everything such as food, clothing, housing and transportation in this week.
This is indeed a thing that makes Ni Tu happy, and he is happy about his ability to adapt. It has been shown that a person tends to bring out more of his or her potential in the face of adversity.
Ni Tu went to "Zhonghua Sichuan Mansion" to do part-time work in the morning, because it was a weekend, he went a little early in the evening, anyway, he was not busy today, Ni Tu planned to help Lao Du of the restaurant more.
There is a group of Chinese eating in the restaurant, and it seems that they are also international students. One of them was shouting, "Those Korean sticks are too arrogant!" Isn't it good to play football by yourself, as for such a wave? Ay! If only one of us could teach them a lesson. ”
"It's hard! We can't play with them at all, and this tomorrow is another game, and I'm worried about what to do! A man sighed.
Lao Du smiled and handed tea to a few compatriots, listened to it, and turned back to Ni Tu and said, "Hey? Ni Tu, don't you also play football? It's all Chinese studying at Kaiser, let's go play together and give it a try! ”
