1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 172 Zhang Wang Waiting
In the past two days, I have been busy with rectification and did not ask them to come to the store to help. I only asked them to check on the kitchen when it was being renovated.

Master Wu’s name is Wu Fuyuan and he is 62 years old this year. Master Zhang’s name is Zhang Deqing and he is 60 years old.

At this age, they had long been relegated to the second line, and there was no incentive for re-employment. The leadership of the Zhengyangmen Restaurant did not pay attention to senior chefs like them, which allowed Xichang Tower to take advantage of the loophole.

They all come with a follower. Master Wu is accompanied by his young apprentice named Zhou An, who is only 20 years old this year. This child learned cooking from Master Wu when he was 14 years old, and he has only learned to cook for two years.

In the past, I was chopping vegetables behind the chef, learning how to mix the dishes and practicing basic skills.

The young man was very motivated and wanted to continue studying with Master Wu. When he knew that Master Wu was coming to Xichang Tower, he followed him.

Master Zhang brought his son Zhang Kang, who is in his prime this year. He is 38 years old. He is a calm man and rarely talks. He has already mastered the cooking skills, and all the recipes he has learned are family heirlooms.

This is a talent attracted by high wages. At only 38 years old, he is already the father of five children.

She has a stubborn traditional mindset that favors sons over daughters. All her first four children were girls, and she only had a baby boy when she was 35 years old.

Although he favors boys over girls, he treats all children's education equally, which is still very good. The more children there are, the heavier the burden will be.

Working in the canteen only cost more than 60 yuan a month, but his salary nearly doubled when he came to work in Xichang Building. How could he not be tempted?

"Master Hong, you already know the matter. It's up to you to handle the rest." Luo Tao said to Hong Shan, who came late, meaning to let him clean up the house.

"Hey, don't worry, Mr. Luo, I will definitely let them stay. These three bastards have grown strong wings."

Master Hong didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so Luo Tao had no choice but to open the door and speak frankly.

"It's fine for you, master and disciple, to reminisce about old times. We all have our own ambitions and don't force them. It's true that my small temple cannot accommodate their three giant Buddhas."

"Mr. Luo, they must have lost their minds. I will go up and talk to them right now. I will also beg you to keep them afterwards."

Hong Shan's words were very sincere, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"Master Hong, it's not that I'm keeping them here, but that they want to leave on their own. It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. There's no way to stop this."

"they are not……"

"Okay, Master Hong, you'd better go up and have a chat with them."

Luo Tao didn't want to explain too much to him, so he might as well let his disciples explain it to him for him.

"Ah."

He turned his head and went to the next door, Luo Tao saw everyone surrounding him.

"Almost everyone is here today. To be honest, I can't open the business this month. As you can see, the renovation won't be solved for a while. If any of you want to find another job, you can say it now, and I won't stop you. "

After speaking, I heard them whispering, and no one said to quit. Haha, if this person wants to leave, he will not talk to so many people now.

"If you're embarrassed to say it, you can contact me and Hou Ming privately to settle the account. If no one leaves, it's the same thing. If you don't work next month, your salary will still be paid."

"In the month when you are not working, an additional 50 yuan subsidy will be given to each person. Of course, it will not be paid in advance. It will be paid together with the salary the next month after working."

When they heard that there was an additional subsidy of 50 yuan, their eyes gleamed.

"Work hard. I dare not say that I will pay you the highest salary in this industry, but it will never be much lower than them. If you have nothing to do next month, rest more. If you have nothing to do, go to Fragrant Mountain, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace to relax. Feeling."

It’s not really like letting them rest at home for a month. The store decoration also needs people, such as doing some small jobs.

After Luo Tao finished his speech, everyone gave him warm applause.

Luo Tao accompanied them to brainwash for a while, and then saw Master Hong walking over in despair.

"Master Hong?" Hou Ming hurriedly stepped forward and gave him a hand.

"It's okay, Mr. Luo, I'm sorry for you. I can't stop them from leaving." His voice was choked with tears and tears welled up in his eyes. This time it really hit Hong Shan. He didn't expect that the apprentice he taught would be such a person.

"Master Hong, don't be too sad. As the saying goes, everyone has his own ambitions. You have done what you should do, and it's good that you have a clear conscience."

Luo Tao comforted him a few words, and then said to Hou Ming: "Mingzi, pay the wages for the three of them. Remember to give them an extra month's salary. It can be regarded as Xichang Tower did not treat them poorly. He also told them: Eat out." You can come back at any time when you don’t have enough to eat.”

These words are not meant for Bai Er and the others. Luo Tao wants all employees to know his benevolence and righteousness. It can be said that he is performing it for everyone present, especially for Hong Shan.

These words really worked. Hong Shan, who was still sitting on the chair, knelt on the ground and said, "Mr. Luo, I, Hong Shan, am here to thank you for your great kindness on behalf of these three unfaithful, unfilial and unjust dogs. "

Luo Tao pretended to be surprised and knelt down on one knee to help him stand up, "Master Hong, what are you doing? Aren't you ruining my life!"

"I don't mean anything else. You are a good person. If you hadn't taken us in back then, we wouldn't have been hungry."

That's right, when their master and apprentice opened a shop and lost their entire family, if they hadn't come to Xichang Tower, they would have been in such a difficult time.

"It's okay to take them in or not. Master Hong is the master invited by me, Luo Tao. You can't say such things again in the future. Mingzi goes to settle the bill for them."

Hou Ming went out in response, and Luo Tao talked freely with the three old masters about the future of Xichang.

Hou Ming came back after doing something good, "Brother, they are all gone."

"I understand. I won't stay here any longer. I'll call Master Han and the others tomorrow night. We'll all go to Fengze Garden for our first dinner together. I'll just take it as my thank you for your dedication to Xichang Tower for so long and express my gratitude. .”

"it is good."

Everyone was very happy. They never expected that leaving three people would bring them so many benefits.

"Can Mr. Luo bring his family members?" a waitress asked sheepishly.

"I can bring it, but you have to tell Hou Ming in advance so that it can be arranged easily."

Luo Tao once again won over people's hearts, even when working in a state-owned unit, he did not have the benefit of bringing his family members to eat with him.

After saying a few more official words, he asked Hou Ming alone about the report on Xichang Tower.

"How's the investigation going?" Luo Tao asked casually, smoking a cigarette and playing with the tea set.

"We found it. It has something to do with Jiang Bo, whom we met in Wanggezhuang last time. He knew a deputy director in charge of this matter in the Work Bureau, and it was he who sent someone to check us."

"Oh, it's interesting. This guy can really jump."

Luo Tao also spoke with a hint of murderous intent. This Jiang Bo was in conflict with him. First he was over antiques, then he was wooing Han Li, and now he was reporting him. If he didn't repay the debt, he really thought he was easy to bully.

"Brother, do you want it?" Hou Ming made a gesture that he didn't understand.

"If you don't commit the crime, let Qin Hua and the others help get the deputy director in and discipline him first. Jiang Bo don't touch him now. Let people keep an eye on him first. He will be of great use to me."

Luo Tao had other concerns about Jiang Bo's treatment, which could not be explained to outsiders.

"Well, I see."

After talking about good things, they rode back home. As soon as they got home, Su Guilan said that Huang Yuanchao had called to see him. Luo Tao hurriedly went to Uncle Wang's place and called him back.

I learned from the phone call that Han Li and the others had found out their supply sources in the south, and that Wang Jun and the others had cast their net and were waiting for a suitable opportunity to close it.

Luo Tao told him that Han Li must be eliminated by the end of June, otherwise the trouble would be greater as time goes by, and severe crackdowns would begin soon.

He also told him not to worry about Jiang Bo now, as he would have other uses.
