Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

In later generations, there is a term called career guidance.

In fact, from the very beginning of economic development, the most troublesome problem was not that many people were unemployed.

But a lot of people lost their jobs.

As mentioned earlier, under the current situation, there are many industries with too many people.

Some things, after technological innovation, can now be done by one person instead of ten people. Not only that, with the gradual liberalization of the economy, individual businesses and foreign joint ventures have gradually squeezed out the living space of state-owned enterprises. This has led to a problem that many companies cannot support themselves. If they cannot support themselves, they have no money, and the superiors cannot pay them.

This led to the subsequent wave of layoffs.

Those who have not experienced this wave of layoffs cannot understand how terrible it is.

Cao Wei did not have that much ability, so he could just make some small achievements and then let the higher-ups see how the individual economy should be developed.

Of course, in 81, there was still a long time before the wave of layoffs, and during this period, there was plenty of time to slowly adjust.

In the room where only one person was left, Cao Wei sipped his tea and stared straight ahead.

After a while, the door was pushed open.

Lou Xiao'e walked in and saw Cao Wei's appearance. She sat down next to him, took the empty teacup from his hand, and refilled it for him.

"How is it? Is it troublesome? If it is really troublesome, we can just not do it." Lou Xiao'e asked softly.

On the surface, Samadhi Tower's business was booming and everything was developing in a good direction.

But in fact, the line led today almost determines the life or death of Samadhi Tower.

As far as Cao Wei himself knows, many people have been talking about him being involved in capitalism. Let's put it this way, in this era, raising more than three chickens will be defined as capitalism, not to mention that Cao Wei's restaurant has such a turnover in a month. You have to know that this restaurant belongs to him personally.

The food street is a Sino-foreign joint venture.

Naturally, some people are dissatisfied.

It was reasonable for Jing Yu to blame Cao Wei, as he had prevented countless troubles for Cao Wei.

As for the leaders, they have received countless letters of complaint.

No matter how glamorous it is, if something goes wrong, it will be gone in a moment.

Among them, only Lou Xiao'e and Cao Wei were the real insiders.

Lou Xiao'e was born in that era. Her family was suppressed, so she knew exactly what it was like. As for Cao Wei, he had read history. As the first person to try something new, he might have a mouthful of oil, but he was more likely to be clamped tightly by the crab claws and unable to move. Things were not as smooth as expected.

Fortunately, the attitude shown by the leader today did not cause him any trouble.

It seems that everything is moving in the right direction.

"Nothing bad." Cao Wei shook his head. "The leadership is determined to reform. We can see that today. His willingness to sit down for dinner is a sign of recognition and a signal to the outside world. Next, we will develop according to the plan. In addition, how is the farm going?"

"Then you should ask your Huairu." Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes: "I've been so busy these days that I don't even have time to take care of my Nian Nian. How dare you say that."

"Are you taking care of me? I'm embarrassed to say anything to you." Cao Wei retorted.

The door was opened.

Qin Jingru came running in, saw the two people, and blinked her eyes: "What are you doing here? Hurry up, get to work, Wei Ge'er, you can't be lazy, and you, Lou Cairen, if you are lazy again, I will spank you!"

Cao Wei, Lou Xiaoe: …

This is the opposite of Tiangang!

"Hey, hey, stop messing around!"

Qin Jingru looked at the account book with a smile on her face.

I am so happy to see the little money growing day by day.

She felt that the days she had spent in the past few months were much more exciting than her entire life.

Cao Wei once told her that people always need to find something to do and have their own hobbies. She liked listening to stories, so she started reading books. At first, she read vernacular books handed down from the Qing Dynasty, and later, she gradually began to read official history. She liked to hoard money, so she started to learn arithmetic. Many professors in the valley taught her for a while.

But after all the learning, there is no chance to put it into practice.

Until the restaurant actually opened.

The complicated accounts made her so happy.

It's not about how much you earn, but about putting what you learn into practice. Every day, I happily count my money, and the day goes by in a crackling sound. When I open my eyes, it's another day full of energy.

This made Cao Wei sigh that Qin Jingru was really a good candidate for the 996 work style.

This mental state is like SpongeBob SquarePants.

You know, the account books of this era are different from those of later generations. In later generations, computers naturally generate bills as soon as goods are put into or taken out of the warehouse. But now there is no such thing. Everything is handwritten. The amount of calculation required for this integration is outrageous. It can be said that the daily bills, combined together, can almost bury Qin Jingru. The key is that this thing is still handwritten.

But Qin Jingru couldn't help being so happy that she even pulled her daughter, whom she usually loved to bully, over to settle the score during the holiday.

Cao Leyao felt numb all over.

She swore that she would never be fooled by her mother again in her life.

After finally getting a summer vacation, Qin Jingru found her mysteriously and asked her if she was interested in working in the restaurant. The job was simple, just doing the math, and she was offered a high salary of fifty yuan a month.

Fifty yuan! She agreed without hesitation, and even dragged Cao Nian and Cao Xiucheng along, and successfully bargained with Qin Jingru, and the final price was two hundred yuan for three people.

When they go to work full of energy, they are faced with piles of bills.

Only then did they realize that they had been deceived.

It's too late to regret it.

Qin Jingru had asked them to sign and seal their names long ago.

Qin Jingru is average in other things, but she is very talented when it comes to tricking her daughter.

Cao Leyao looked at the sunlight that had turned orange again and sighed: "Ergou, hurry up..."

Cao Xiucheng: ...

"If you hadn't said this, I wouldn't have made a mistake!"

"Tell me, is there something that can help us figure out this damn bill?" Cao Leyao supported his chin with both hands, his eyes dull. It was obvious that he had been tortured beyond measure.
