Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

In terms of living conditions.

The countryside is naturally better than the city.

In the village, people can be self-sufficient. They grow food in the fields and some vegetables in front of their own courtyards. Throughout the year, the only things they spend money on are fertilizers, pesticides and seasonings. If the harvest is not good, they can buy on credit. As long as they are not bad people, most people will buy on credit. The land is here and people can't go far.

But when you come to the city, you will have all kinds of life needs.

You have to buy food, you have to buy vegetables, you have to buy all kinds of things with money.

If you don’t have enough money, you’ll easily go hungry.

Qin Jianguo and Qin Jianjun brought their wives to the courtyard.

Coincidentally, I met Qin Jingru who was about to go out.

"Brother and sister-in-law are here? Why didn't you send me a message? I would have driven over to pick you up."

"Hey, we're not without legs, we can just come here by ourselves." Qin Jianguo smiled.

"Well, that's fine. I have to go to work. You guys come with me and we can talk while we walk. Where are the kids? Why don't you bring them up with you?"

The younger ones in Qin Jianjun's family already have children, and they are in their twenties, so it is time for them to try their luck.

"Let's come over and take a look first. If they are busy, they will have to come up and help."

"That's fine. Let's go."

This was the first time that Qin Jianjun and Qin Jianguo came to Samadhi Tower.

I had only heard of it before but had never been here in person. Qin Jingru did invite me when the shop opened, but it was the busy farming season at that time and I missed the invitation. In addition, there was a lot of work to do on the farm at that time, so they could find work even during the slack season, so I didn't come up.

When they saw the crowded Samadhi Dining Hall, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Sister, what are they doing?"

They arrived quite early.

After the farm was built in Qinjia Village, a road was built to facilitate transportation, which greatly shortened the time it took them to get to the city. They set out before dawn and arrived in the city at around 8 a.m. But how could there be so many people eating at this time?

"Oh, they are having breakfast. There are so many people in the cafeteria every day. By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it..." Qin Jianjun said hurriedly.

"I haven't eaten yet. Let's go and eat together." Qin Jingru pulled a few people and entered the Samadhi cafeteria.

After entering the Samadhi Canteen, they were even more shocked. It was the first time they saw such a clean and tidy canteen, and everyone was queuing up in an orderly manner.

Qin Jingru led them into a small door next to it. There was a not-so-long corridor outside the door. They walked through the corridor and entered the room.

The room is not big, about 100 square meters, and there are quite a few people eating there at the moment.

See Qin Jingru come in.

They all stood up and greeted him: "Boss Qin."

Qin Jingru twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and pressed her hand down:

"Eat, eat, I want to have a meal."

"My sister-in-law is so majestic." The sister-in-law whispered to Qin Jianguo.

Qin Jingru didn't really want to. There weren't so many rules before. Later, when the Samadhi Building was getting bigger and bigger, some people started to shout, and gradually others followed. In fact, this group of people also admired Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru didn't do anything else over the years, but she read a lot of books, and she also went to the farm for internship for a while, so she managed the Samadhi Building in an orderly manner.

He is always smiling, but he is never vague when doing his work.

Qin Jianguo and Qin Jianjun were shocked by the scene before them.

There is nothing special about breakfast. Whether in the south or the north, breakfast is simple and the best thing is to grab and go. Although there are many people lining up for breakfast at the Samadhi Canteen, the efficiency is really high. If you like something, you just point your finger and the chef will put it in your lunch box and you can take it and go. It is very fast.

"Baozi, soy milk, fried dough sticks, take whatever you like. Otherwise, it will be wasted." Qin Jingru pointed to the dining table over there.

There aren't many chefs here, and the main feature is self-service. Everyone is family, so just don't waste anything.

"Is it free to eat like this?" Qin Jianjun asked his sister curiously.

"Well, I do, but it's not much. The company will subsidize it." Qin Jingru picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. The crispy taste made her eyes slightly narrowed in comfort. "Pay fifteen yuan a month and you can eat it all at the company."

"Fifteen yuan?! Fifty cents a day? So expensive?!" Qin Jianguo was shocked.

"Oh, this is just the beginning." Qin Jingru said nonchalantly: "Here, a dishwasher makes 50 yuan a month."

"Take... take the young master?"

"Fifty, but they usually don't choose to eat at the company."

The employees of Samadhi Tower are now divided into two types. One type is old and has no ambition. They just want to find a job. Cao Wei doesn't care. After all, the company has a lot of miscellaneous work to do, such as cleaning and washing dishes. In fact, in later generations, most of them are outsourced. Because these jobs, to be honest, have no room for advancement. Big companies don't bother with these things. They just outsource them. If they don't do a good job, they will be scolded.

But now it is not possible, there is no such option as outsourcing, so, for this kind of people, Cao Wei also pays wages, but the wages are slightly lower. If you spend 50 yuan a month and spend 15 yuan on food, no matter how good the food is, you still can't bear it. You are not allowed to take the things here home.

Except for this category.

Those are the energetic employees who can move up. For example, those who work in finance, statistics, cooking, and serving, Samadhi House has a whole set of reasonable and stable promotion opportunities. If it really doesn't work out, in the end, you can still go out and do something on your own, and Samadhi House will support you. This kind of employees are very motivated, and they will give them 15 yuan at will.

Mainly, their salary is not too bad.

It’s worth spending fifteen yuan to eat the good food at Samadhi Tower.

The group of four finished their breakfast with some trepidation, and then followed Qin Jingru to Samadhi Tower.

"Sanni, wasn't that a restaurant just now?" Qin Jianjun was stunned when he walked downstairs of Samadhi Restaurant.

The Samadhi Canteen was not small to begin with, but the restaurant on the third floor in front of him was even more shocking to him.

The third floor is not high, but it occupies a large area.

"Yes, that's just the cafeteria, this is the restaurant."

There are not many people eating in the restaurant at this moment. Most of the time, people do not choose a restaurant for breakfast, unless they are some wealthy gourmets. Usually, people start to come in at lunch time.

He led his family to the third floor and knocked on the door of Cao Wei's office.

"Brother Wei, my brother and others are here!" Qin Jingru shouted before they even entered the door.
