Chapter 47 Eating Watermelon
Grandma Jiang was still enjoying the shade under the walnut tree in the yard, when an old lady from another family came over and was having sex with her.
"Grandma, I have to go out for something. I may come back later. Please remember to leave the door open for me." Gu Yan greeted Grandma Jiang.
"Xiao Gu, who is that man?" Grandma Jiang asked in a loud voice.
"Chief Lin from the Nanjiao Hotel is in charge of the cleaning department." Gu Yan would definitely not tell her about writing the management manual. "Grandma, I'll talk to you when I get back."
"Xiao Gu!" Grandma Jiang stopped her, her voice was very serious, "Even if you are looking for a partner, you have to keep your eyes open. Don't think that you are fat and have bad conditions, so just look for someone casually."
Gu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, what are you thinking about? It's not possible, don't worry."
What she likes is the kind of gentle scum like Shen Yucheng. No, she is the kind of gentle, handsome, and lustful type. How could she like Lin Tianbao, who is so utilitarian?
Grandma Jiang may have a bad temper sometimes, but she has a very good heart.
Gu Yan followed Lin Tianbao to Youth Park, and they chatted while walking.
"You came later than I thought."
"You don't understand this, you can't be in the limelight all the time."
"Yes, did you mention the management manual?"
"I've mentioned it, I've passed it, I'm just a bastard, and I'm not the editor-in-chief."
Gu Yan laughed after hearing this, "How does the current editor know that the next editor will not be you? Once the emperor and the court minister, what are you afraid of when you are still young? By the way, if it is published, remember to give me a copy of the management manual. "
"That's natural. I'm not just coming to you this time because of the issues in the management manual. I also have something I want to consult with you about."
"What's the matter, you say?"
"During the meeting these two days, someone proposed adding a dance hall to the hotel to sell some foreign wine and other things. I think the leaders are very interested, what do you think?"
Gu Yan almost laughed, "Who is this? He is so talented and he also opens a dance club in a hotel."
Lin Tianbao was very happy when he saw Gu Yan saying the same thing, "You don't think it's possible too?"
"I've never seen a hotel with a ballroom, it's nondescript!"
There will be fitness areas, swimming pools, etc. by then, but forget it in the 1980s.
"But the leader is very interested. I want to come up with a different opinion. Please help me think of one."
Gu Yan thought for a while and said, "How is the restaurant in your hotel doing?"
"Yes, the people at breakfast are pretty good. At other times, they are just decorations. They entertain the leaders and so on. They can't generate income and they still lose money. All the money and water are taken away by those who work in the restaurant," Lin Tianbao said Very disdainful, "A bunch of parasites, worse than nothing!"
"I think if we have the money to build a ballroom, it is better to renovate the restaurant environment and make it more beautiful. Then we can optimize the restaurant's menu, add some desserts, special drinks, and coffee to make afternoon tea more Western-style, which is not only good for It can be used both internally and externally, and it can also increase revenue, which is not much better than a dance hall."
"Yes!" Lin Tianbao's eyes lit up, and he knew that he was right to come to Gu Yan.
The two of them found a street lamp and sat casually underneath it. Lin Tianbao then took out a notebook, opened it and handed it to Gu Yan.
"The questions are all written on it."
Gu Yan opened the book and started discussing it with Lin Tianbao. Time passed by unknowingly. In the blink of an eye, it was already past ten o'clock. Lin Tianbao wanted to give Gu Yan money. Gu Yan didn't ask for it anymore. She just told Lin Tianbao that they were open.
A labor dispatch center. If Nanjiao Hotel is looking for temporary workers or something, you can go to their dispatch center to find them.
When Gu Yan went back, she didn't expect that Grandma Jiang hadn't rested yet.
Gu Yan lit a fire and boiled water, and the old lady followed her, "Xiao Gu, you left early and came back late this day, what kind of work did you do?"
"Grandma, I opened a labor dispatch agency."
The old lady didn't know, "What kind of mess?"
"It was either messy stuff or helping people find jobs. At that time, I had been doing odd jobs in the market, and I would go there early every day to wait for jobs, so I opened an agency with others and contacted all the jobs in advance.
Make arrangements for everyone in advance so that no one has to worry about running out of work."
"Can it still be like this?" the old lady asked doubtfully.
"Of course, how about you come with me tomorrow? It's half an hour away. If you want to go, I'll take you there by bus."
"I'm not going!" the old lady said and turned around and walked away.
Gu Yan called her, "Grandma, I may not come back until eight or nine o'clock every day from now on. You don't have to worry about me. I already know what I should do at this age."
"I don't care if I die outside."
"You're an old lady, you have a sharp mouth and a soft heart."
"Huh." The old lady hummed and came back with a plate in her hand with two watermelons on it, "Here, wash the plate and put it in the kitchen after you're done."
"What?"
Gu Yan stretched her head to take a look and exclaimed, "Watermelon!" She was so drunk when she smelled the fragrance of watermelon, no, her saliva was almost flowing out.
She quickly wiped her hands and took the watermelon, "Grandma Jiang, who gave you the watermelon?"
In the 21st century, it is not uncommon to eat watermelon in winter, but now it is quite a luxury.
"It was a gift from someone else!" She didn't know why, but when Gu Yan heard the old lady say this, she felt like she was gritting her teeth.
Gu Yan felt that her luck was so good. Her gums were now swollen and painful, so it was best to eat watermelon. She picked up the watermelon and couldn't wait to take a bite. The taste was that old-fashioned sweet and sandy taste.
Gu Yan remembers that when she was young, her family would trade wheat for watermelon.
At that time, there were no harvesters in the wheat harvest, so it was all cut by hand. The wheat was then hauled back to the yard on a cart and threshed with a wheat thresher. A lot of wheat ears often fell on the road. During the wheat harvest, she would take her younger brothers and sisters with her.
Take a broken fertilizer bag to pick wheat ears on the road. One wheat harvest can pick up a hundred pounds of wheat grains.
These wheat grains are kept and used to exchange for watermelon.
At that time, there were not many varieties of watermelons, and they were usually the big and big ones. However, there were more than one person in the family, so one person could not eat more than a few pieces. Later, watermelons were freely available, and he could eat them with all his heart.
, one person can't eat half of it.
After eating two pieces of watermelon, Gu Yan felt much better. Unfortunately, she had no money now and had nothing to give to the old lady.
Take a shower and go to bed, then work as usual the next day.
Gu Yan went to the Lingong Market early and ran all the way. Her clothes were soaked through. What surprised her was that she had gone there very early, and there were already many people waiting at the door of the dispatch center.
.
As soon as Gu Yan left, people surrounded her and asked, "Xiao Gu, I took the job of building roads in the southern mountainous area yesterday. I can do any job. I didn't bring enough money yesterday, but I brought enough today."
