Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

Niu Ping'an did not tell the Qin family about the embarrassing situation of self-employed individuals.

In his opinion, the status of farmers and self-employed individuals is not much different, and neither has security.

At this stage, being self-employed is actually very shameful.

After all, most of those who can become self-employed are those who have no job and are forced to do so due to financial difficulties.

Shame?

Is there anything more shameful than being poor?

In this way, Qin Dahe began his business career.

From market research to renting a house and opening a store;

From obtaining the license to purchasing the goods;

From selling to pricing...

Qin Dahe took steady steps and earned his first pot of gold in life.

.......

The days passed peacefully.

In the blink of an eye, time came to 1980.

On this day, Niu Ping'an saw a piece of news in the newspaper: the first individually-owned restaurant in the old city, "Yuebin Hotel", opened.

This also indicates that the old city has entered a new chapter, and private restaurants will emerge like mushrooms after rain to make up for the lack of food for the people.

Niu Ping'an came here because of its reputation, ready to see the style of the first individual restaurant.

Yuebin Hotel is a very famous restaurant. It is the first individually-owned restaurant in the old city. However, the store is very low-key, hidden in Cuihua Hutong in Dongcheng District.

Cuihua Hutong is T-shaped, connecting to Wangfujing Street horizontally to the east;

Vertically to the north is May Fourth Street, and diagonally opposite is the National Art Museum of China.

The kitchen was built with 4 old tables, 15 old chairs, bricks and wood, and an old barrel for roasting sweet potatoes was converted into a stove.

All of them reveal their simplicity.

The alley was packed with people, and the line stretched all the way to Wusi Street at the entrance of the alley.

The four tables in the store can only accommodate fourteen or fifteen customers a day.

You have to queue up to eat, and the last one in line has to wait more than 60 days before you can eat.

This shows how serious the lack of food is in Beijing.

In the end, Niu Ping'an was unable to taste the dishes of Yuebin Hotel as he wished and returned home disappointed.

That night, Niu Ping'an began to discuss with Qin Jingru the idea of ​​resigning and opening a store.

Just do it if you want to. The next day at noon, Niu Ping'an found Sha Zhu in the cafeteria.

"Niu Ping'an, do you want to talk to me?"

Nowadays, Shazhu lives a very happy life.

His wife gave birth to another son for him, which made Xu Damao jealous.

"Brother Zhuzi, I have something to talk to you about. Let's go out and talk."

The cafeteria is crowded and not a good place to talk.

"Row!"

Sha Zhu was also curious about what Niu Ping'an wanted to talk to him about.

The relationship between the two is neither good nor bad, they are just ordinary neighbors.

In Sha Zhu's opinion, Niu Ping'an must have asked him to prepare the banquet.

Naturally, Sha Zhu would not refuse this.

Now that there is a new member in the family, I have to earn more money.

The two came to a secluded place.

"Brother Zhuzi, I am planning to quit my job and open a restaurant. I would like to invite you to be the chef."

Niu Ping'an went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

Sha Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect Niu Ping'an to give up his stable job in the Security Department and start a private business.

This was a little difficult for him to understand.

After all, state-owned units can guarantee a stable income regardless of drought or flood, and their welfare benefits are all excellent.

"No, Niu Ping'an, are you kidding me?"

Sha Zhu stared with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, thinking that Niu Ping'an was teasing him!

"I do have this plan, but you know I don't have the skills."

Niu Ping'an also knew that his decision was quite outrageous at that time, so it was normal for Sha Zhu not to believe it.

"What do you think?

I don’t want such a stable factory job, I want to open a shop!”

Sha Zhu found it difficult to understand. In his opinion, those who did private business were people who had no jobs and had difficulty in life and were forced to make the choice.

"Don't worry about what I think. I just came to ask for your opinion. Do you have any ideas to follow me?"

Niu Ping'an didn't have the patience to explain his thoughts to Sha Zhu.

All you have to do is convince him to work as a chef in your restaurant.

"How can it be!

There's nothing wrong with my brain!"

Sha Zhu replied angrily.

"Don't rush to refuse, listen to my conditions.

What do you think of a salary of one hundred yuan a month? "

Niu Ping'an directly started the bribery mode.

Although it was already the 80s, a salary of one hundred was not a small sum.

Take the consumption at Yuebin Hotel for example. How much does it cost to have a meal of the most authentic Sijiucheng cuisine here?

I ordered braised cabbage, roast duck, shredded pork with fish flavor, and a bowl of duck bone and tofu soup, which cost a total of 4 yuan.

"How many?"

Sha Zhu confirmed with some disbelief.

It is really hard to believe that Niu Ping'an would offer such a high price.

You have to know that Sha Zhu is trying every means to earn money to support his family, but he can only earn sixty or seventy yuan a month.

"one hundred!"

When Niu Ping'an saw that Sha Zhu was moved, a smile appeared on his lips.

"If you can train a kitchen team for me, there will be an additional subsidy every month."

Considering that he knew nothing about cooking, Niu Pingan added.

The most taboo thing in running a restaurant is to change chefs frequently.

That way it is easy to lose old customers.

Sha Zhu hid his skills and refused to teach his apprentices, which made Niu Ping'an very unhappy.

The survival of the hotel cannot depend on Sha Zhu alone.

“What does it mean to develop a team?”

Shazhu was somewhat moved.

Although Niu Pingan did not specify how much subsidy would be given, it is likely to be a lot.

However, Sha Zhu still had a plan in mind. If Niu Ping'an wanted him to teach his skills unconditionally, he would have to think carefully about it.

"It means that your craft cannot be preserved."

Niu Pingan explained.

“How can that be possible!

The disciples of the church starve to death of the master.

If you chase me away, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"

Sha Zhu quickly refused.

Unconsciously, Sha Zhu had already begun to lean towards leaving the factory and going out to work with Niu Ping'an.

There is no way, Niu Ping'an gave too much!

Niu Ping'an thought about it and felt that Sha Zhu's worries were not unreasonable.

“Then let’s change the terms.

If you can teach me real skills, I will give you some shares."

Niu Ping'an changed the condition again.

“What are shares?”

Sha Zhu asked doubtfully.

“That is, in addition to your salary, you also get dividends.

Another way to say it is that this store is also a part of you.

You are also the owner of the restaurant.

That way, you don’t have to worry about your livelihood.”

Niu Pingan explained.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Shazhu didn't believe it.

"Since you are worried, I will give you a reassurance.

The biggest worry when running a restaurant is changing the chef, and I don’t want you to leave either.

Besides, at your age, are you still planning to keep doing physical work like a cook?"

Niu Ping'an persuaded with full sincerity and patience.

"I need to go back and discuss this with my wife!"

"No rush, once you've made up your mind we can discuss how many shares you'll be given."

"Row!"

The matter came to an end for the time being, and Niu Ping'an did not expect Sha Zhu to agree immediately.

After all, Shazhu is just a part of opening a store.

Niu Ping'an was interested in half of the kitchen in the third canteen.

This is a ready-made strong laborer!
