Yokogawa Three Migrations, Sober in the World (1)

The next morning, Gu Hengchuan woke up in a daze and found Schrödinger lying on his chest, sleeping soundly.

He began to seriously consider how to earn a living, even if not for himself, to feed Schrödinger. There is a deposit, but it is not a matter of sitting on a mountain to eat empty, the rent of Longhu Building is not a small amount, fortunately, I only paid half a year's rent in advance not long ago, so there is no need to rush for the time being, but if there is no entry for a long time, you must consider moving.

Gu Hengchuan lives very comfortably here, and he doesn't want to move.

He has no academic qualifications, no certificates, and it is not easy to find a job. It's not impossible to go back to picking up garbage in his old business, but it's hard to make a frugality from luxury, and he doesn't want to take this road until he has no choice but to do so.

These days, no one picks up waste paper, they all pick up cardboard and drink bottles instead.

Gu Hengchuan touched Schrödinger's little head, it yawned and snorted a few times.

Cats sleep 15 hours a day, which is a waste. Gu Hengchuan carried Schrödinger back into the basket, got up to wash, grabbed a handful of cat food and sprinkled it in the cat bowl, and went out to look for a job.

Schrödinger was very smart, and when he was thirsty, he would drink from the tap and turn it on and off himself. It never drinks water from the flush toilet.

Gu Hengchuan eats a bowl of noodles for breakfast.

There are many particulars about noodles in Surabaya City, red soup, white soup, tight soup, wide soup, free green, heavy green, oil-free, heavy oil, hot mix, cold mix, light noodles and heavy watering, heavy noodles and light watering, one piercing the head, rotten pot, crossing the bridge, five flowers, peeling, hard fat, belly crotch, throwing water...... Gu Hengchuan ordered a bowl of hard fat, and the red soup was heavy and green and hard. Hard fat is also called big sperm head, which refers to a little fatter stewed meat.

After eating noodles, Gu Hengchuan went to several large and small supermarkets and asked if there were any temporary workers, so they would start making them for the time being. Riding a horse to find a horse, a long-term and stable job can be found slowly.

He found a part-time job at a Tesco supermarket in the alley, tally and checkout, tally and checkout, tally while the store manager is there, and the store manager is gone and check out.

Tesco is a brand franchise store, the store manager has a good family background, and the façade is his own, saving a lot of rent. He doesn't expect the supermarket to live, find something to do, just make a little money a year, and use it as pocket money, so he doesn't have the heart to train employees or anything, it's troublesome, and he recruits a few temporary workers every three or five times, and the mobility is very large.

The store manager's surname is Cao, and he interviewed Gu Hengchuan in person, and when he heard that he had done it in Surabaya Middle School, he was immediately interested and asked him what he did. Gu Hengchuan kept an eye on him, saying that he was a contract worker, introduced by Vice President Zhang, doing chores in the teaching affairs studio, managing student registration files or something, and later Vice Principal Zhang went to a private school, but the school did not renew the contract with him.

After all, Store Manager Cao has been crawling in society, and immediately understood, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it's all like this!" I also graduated from Surabaya High School, and I am half an alumnus, so you can stay and do it! ”

Tesco supermarkets operate two shifts, the morning shift from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., the middle shift from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., and there is no evening shift. After closing at 9 p.m., you have to settle the accounts, and you usually can't leave until 9:30, and the salary is slightly higher. It is the habit of Surabaya City that dinner is the most important of the three, and when a family has children, the whole family should get together to eat and chat, and eat outside. Gu Hengchuan is a bachelor, and Store Manager Cao is exclusive to the middle shift, working six days a week and resting on Sundays.

Gu Hengchuan has no opinion.

The supermarket is much easier than the academic affairs studio. Gu Hengchuan is used to moving textbooks, and he has a lot of strength, and the goods in the supermarket are handled with care. There is an ATM at the checkout, a few clicks of the code scanning gun, and WeChat Alipay payment, which is clean and neat, and there will be no mistakes.

But working in the supermarket, even if you are free, you can't read a book, the store manager Cao can shout and play games, he is the store manager, from the store to the supermarket, Gu Hengchuan has to take the time to sort out the shelves, what sells well, what is unsalable, so that he knows it in his heart, and puts it forward when he clears the accounts at night, and replenishes the stock in time.

After trying it for a while, Store Manager Cao was very satisfied with Gu Hengchuan, and he watched it in the store, so he didn't come in the afternoon, and he only appeared at 9 o'clock in the evening when the account was settled.

Mr. Cao's nightlife is very rich. Sometimes his mouth was full of alcohol, and he couldn't say anything, so he threw the car key to Gu Hengchuan and asked him to send him back. Gu Hengchuan couldn't drive, so he could only call a substitute driver to send him home safely, and hand over all the tails to his sister-in-law. Sometimes it's too late to call a substitute driver, so you can only take a taxi. Manager Cao's car was parked in front of the supermarket, and if he was unlucky, a ticket would be posted on the window the next day.

Store Manager Cao didn't remember in a daze, but he would ask his wife Gu Hengchuan how many times he sent it, and when he paid his salary at the end of the month, he would give one or two hundred more, which would be regarded as a subsidy for his taxi fare.

Gu Hengchuan's life is very regular. In the morning, you can read a book with your heart, tease Schrödinger for a while, and then go to work in the afternoon. Buy three large meat buns on the way, heat them in the microwave when you get to the meal, swallow them in two bites, and drink a few hot teas. The filling of the meat bun is very sufficient, and the dough is just right, and you will never get tired of eating it. At night, I came home and fed the cat, took a bath and read a book, waited for my hair to dry, and slept in a sleeping bag.

The city library has a branch in Longhu Building, and it is very convenient to borrow and return books, and it can be delivered every day or two with two clicks on the mobile phone. Gu Hengchuan is not short of books to read, what he lacks is time to read. He sometimes thinks that it would be good if people could not die, or not sleep, but since they can't get it, they can only talk about friends and not get married.

The salary in the supermarket is not high, with thousands of dollars in hand, and there is not much left after paying the rent, but there are a lot of benefits that are explicit or implicit. In order to enter the market as soon as possible, some goods sign an agreement with the supermarket, and have a certain commission according to the sales. Store Manager Cao didn't like this, so he waved his hand and asked the clerk to divide it himself, and Gu Hengchuan also took a share, which was not without a small supplement.

But he never argues for more, too little.

didn't find a suitable job, so he could only do it day by day under the manager of Cao, just like that, Gu Hengchuan turned temporary workers into permanent workers, and unknowingly became a "senior employee" of Tesco Supermarket.
