Chapter 162: The Teahouse Water Boiler
That evening, the car returned to the Intercontinental Hotel.
The three knockout rounds are over, and tomorrow the InterContinental Hotel will host a feast in the lobby to entertain the fifty players who participated in the knockout round.
The dining standard of the Intercontinental Hotel is a minimum consumption of more than 500 per person.
Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's feast.
Especially those who win, you can taste the food and feel the joy of victory, which is a double enjoyment.
Sitting in the self-driving car of Da Maha, everyone started to discuss.
Aunt Spicy Shrimp Says:
"Alas, by the way, Song Kun, you all have an impression, right?"
Song Kun is one of the judges of this competition, although everyone has not had direct contact with him, but everyone knows this person, and in the next top 20 competitions, it can be said how far the contestants can go in the end, and then it will be in the hands of these judges.
Yin Xiaoyue had some intersections with Song Kun before.
In the process of communicating with him, he revealed that he had crossed paths with Yin Xiaoyue's father, and there was a look of wanting to speak and stopping in his words, and the people who watched were full of doubts.
Just listen to Aunt Spicy Shrimp continue:
"This Song Kun is not simple, have you heard of his deeds back then?"
The team members all shook their heads, everyone looked at Aunt Spicy Shrimp, only to see that her eyes were shining, and after a pause, they began to tell everyone one thing:
It turned out that when Song Kun first came to Rongzhou, he was working in a teahouse.
At that time, there was no InterContinental Hotel in Rongzhou.
More than 20 years ago, the catering industry was heaven and earth compared to now.
Song Kun, who is less than 16 years old, is a child laborer.
At that time, the control was already strict, and many restaurants did not dare to ask for him. In order to be able to eat, Song Kun finally applied for a job as a water boiler in a local teahouse.
Generally, larger tea houses will hire a water boiler.
The water boilers are tired and have little pay, and no matter how hot the weather is, they have to stay in the boiling water room with a temperature of up to 50 degrees, and the hardship can be imagined.
Those who are willing to do this kind of work are generally half-old men in their fifties and sixties who cannot find a job.
As for young people, many quit their jobs after less than a month.
When the teahouse owner saw Song Kun for the first time, he felt that he must not be staying long.
Nowadays, there are very few young people who can endure hardship. A person like Song Kun, who has not grown a few hairs, must not be able to endure this hardship, and besides, Rongzhou is a world of flowers, and it is difficult for a young man to stay in the boiling water room for a long time.
The teahouse made of iron, the water boiler of flowing water.
The boss decided that this young man would definitely leave.
Originally, he didn't want to recruit Song Kun, because it was really troublesome for the flow of people to come and go, but the boiling water master in the store at that time resigned because of something, and it was not easy to find another stable one for a while.
Therefore, the owner of the teahouse agreed to let Song Kun do it first.
For the job that he finally found, Song Kun cherishes it
Although this job is hard and the salary does not seem to be high, Song Kun values it for food and accommodation. In this way, he can be regarded as settling down in Rongzhou.
Although the temperature of the boiling room is indeed very high.
But Song Kun found that he didn't stay in it twenty-four hours a day.
Every morning, noon and evening, Song Kun chooses to boil water ten times.
There are fewer customers in the morning, and they can't be used up twice, but two times in the afternoon and two times in the evening are enough, so that the time spent in it in a day is only five hours.
In his spare time, Song Kun would sit in the pantry for employees to rest, reading books or something.
worked like this for three months in a row, and Song Kun didn't say a word about leaving.
As the days went by, my colleagues were full of curiosity about this young water boiler. As usual, people of this age are studying, why would they go so far to work alone.
Moreover, while working part-time, I don't forget to study, hold a book to read all day long, and don't go out to play on occasional vacations.
Everyone couldn't figure out what the hell this kid was doing.
Some people even said: "Running here to be a water boiler, and holding a book to read all day long, what is this, he wants to go to university, and he uses us here as a springboard." ”
The boss didn't listen much to everyone's criticism.
In fact, he thinks that if their teahouse can really produce a college student, then listen to it.
The boss also wanted to study when he was a child, his family was poor, and then he grew up and became rich, but he didn't have that opportunity, and his son had good conditions, but he didn't have four or six all day.
Every time he told his son bitterly to let him study hard, but the other party just couldn't listen to a word.
Later, the boss simply didn't care.
If you don't struggle for your own future, and rely on others to speed up, you will not be able to hold back sooner or later, and you will end up tired and tired. Whether it is study or work, it depends on consciousness.
The urging of outsiders is only temporary.
Although I don't know what Song Kun is watching, he is quite active in learning, and the boss is also happy.
He specially called Song Kun over:
"You're studying for the university entrance examination, I heard about it here, you can work here with peace of mind, as long as you are responsible for boiling the boiling water for me, you can arrange it however you want at any other time."
Hearing this, Song Kun was stunned:
"Going to college? Boss, are you talking about me? ”
The boss nodded: "Of course, don't hide it, I know all about it." You really rest assured, if you work with me, you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and if I can produce a college student in this teahouse in the future, then everyone will be happy. If you don't have enough tuition, I can sponsor you! ”
Song Kun was confused.
He knew that his boss had misunderstood, so he quickly explained that he was not preparing for the college entrance examination at all.
"Not the college entrance exam?" The boss blinked: "Since you don't want to take the college entrance examination, then what are you reading with a book all day long, and you are so serious, it doesn't look like ah, I heard them say that you are still drawing with Bibi, you are taking notes." ”
Song Kun nodded: "That's right, I'm indeed taking notes." ”
"You've taken notes, so you still don't admit that you're studying?"
"I'm really learning!" Song Kun paused for a moment, then raised his eyes and said to the boss: "But what I am studying is not cultural knowledge, I haven't graduated from elementary school, where can I read the college entrance examination books, I am studying......"
"What are you studying?"
"I ...... I'm learning to cook! I want to be a chef in the future! ”
Learning to cook? Hearing this, the owner of the teahouse was stunned.
He looked the boy up and down, thin and small, with a pair of eyes, and the whole person was gentle, which was not the same concept as the guy with a big waist and a thick neck in his impression.
"Have you studied before?"
"Follow my master, I studied for a while......"
