The boss replied:

"Dunzi."

Zhang Jiaze was stunned, this was the first time he had heard of this word:

"Dunzi? What is the pier for? ”

The boss laughed.

But this kind of laughter is not the same thing as the boss's unbridled laughter just now.

The boss explains:

"You always know, chef, right?"

Zhang Jiaze nodded:

"Chef, I know."

Boss:

"Dunzi is for the chef to do chores, such as chopping vegetables, washing vegetables and the like."

Zhang Jiaze suddenly realized, nodded and said:

"Oh, I see......"

The boss continued:

"You don't think that this job is simple, a dish is delicious or not, in addition to the chef, the skill of cutting vegetables is also very exquisite."

Zhang Jiaze didn't expect that there was so much knowledge behind this.

Subsequently, the two negotiated the conditions: the boss has food and lodging, a salary of 1,500 yuan, and about 12 hours of work every day from opening to closing.

Despite the low salary, Zhang Jiaze is already very satisfied. Anyway, the belly problem was finally solved.

Next, Zhang Jiaze lived a purgatory-like life in this small restaurant.

The business of the restaurant is good, and every employee is tired to death. At the end of the day, Zhang Jiaze felt that his bones were about to fall apart.

The next morning, Zhang Jiaze was awakened from his sleep by an angry shout. When I opened my eyes, the boss was furious, scolding him for why he hadn't gotten up yet, and everyone was lining up for breakfast.

Because he was too tired the day before, Zhang Jiaze hadn't slept like this for a long time. Woken up from his dream by his boss, he quickly rolled over and got up.

During this time in the restaurant, Zhang Jiaze's food volume increased greatly and his physical strength doubled, the only drawback was that he was too tired every day.

He was so tired that he didn't have time to think about his life, his wife and daughter, or his second child.

He was hidden in the city, isolated from the world.

He wanted to give up countless times in the middle, but when he thought about what he would do after giving up? And the wages here are all monthly, what if you give up halfway and the boss doesn't pay the salary?

During this time, 3 to 5 p.m. is a relatively free time, during this time, the boss goes to play mahjong, and there are a few employees left in the store, and everyone chats together. From the chat, Zhang Jiaze met Xiao Jiang, a poor boy who only graduated from primary school at the age of 14 and came out to work, although he was poor, he was very optimistic, and he was very satisfied with an income of a few hundred yuan a month. He paid all his salary to his hometown every month for his father's treatment and his sister's education;

He met Xiaohui, a woman who was also in her 30s but divorced from her husband. Xiaohui is silent and rarely talks to people, and it can be seen that Xiaohui still misses his husband. For the road ahead, Xiaohui is still very confused;

He met Grandma Zhou, who was in her 60s, who came to take her grandson in the city, but because of discord with her daughter-in-law, she came out to work in a fit of anger;

……

The small restaurant opened another window for Zhang Jiaze.

In the past, he only knew that he was working behind closed doors at home, and all his writing materials came from his own imagination, or collected some creative materials from the Internet, and he believed that in today's developed Internet, there is no creative material that he can't collect. It is under this idea that for many years, he has adhered to his creative route of "collecting materials + imagination on the Internet";

However, the experience of the small restaurant gave him a different experience. This is something he has never had, when he needed help and survival the most, this small restaurant took him in, gave him a bed to shelter from the wind and rain without paying rent, gave him three meals a day, gave him a meager salary, and more importantly, gave him rich creative materials.

The owner of the restaurant, the employees who work at the restaurant, and the customers who come to eat...... Zhang Jiaze can hear everyone's mental journey from everyone's expressions and conversations, and can understand the voices of the lowest level of this society.

Almost everyone who comes to eat is a great story.

Listen to what the diners have to say to know their origins and stories. Even if you come to eat alone, you can gain a lot from the content of their phone calls and calls.

Zhang Jiaze suddenly realized that he had fallen into a treasure trove.
