Chapter 186 You are the next monitor

Chapter 186 You are the next monitor (first update)
Tang Dashan's face immediately showed an expression full of anticipation and longing.

He graduated from junior high school and has a limited level of education. Even if he were allowed to go to a steel mill to learn technology, there would be no one to teach him. If he could learn cooking from Wang Dongjin in the steel mill, he would definitely have no problem supporting his family in the future, even if he didn't become rich.

After Wang Dong finished speaking, he was moved.

But in the end, he shook his head helplessly: "Dongzi...thank you for thinking of me..."

"But I can't take this job, and I can't afford it..."

"When I was carrying a large bag at the grain station, I heard that the price of an apprenticeship is now more than 300 yuan. The steel rolling mill is a large factory in our city, and the price of an apprenticeship is even higher. You may not be able to buy one even at 400 yuan."

"Don't think that I only make a little over ten yuan a month doing odd jobs outside. If it weren't for my grandma doing handicrafts at home, she could still make four or five yuan a month. Our family would definitely not be able to survive."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me..."

"The total amount of money in the whole family is less than thirty dollars."

"Not to mention the quota for apprenticeships in the steel mill, even the quota for apprenticeships in other small factories cannot be afforded..."

"But thank you anyway..."

"When there are job openings for apprentices, they will think of me first."

Grandma Wang and Tang Dashan are both very principled people, otherwise Wang Dong would not be the closest to them among the four courtyards, and would not be the first one he thinks of when he has something good.

In this case, even if Wang Dong wanted to give the apprenticeship quota to Tang Dashan for free, they would not accept it.

Facing Tang Dashan, whom he wanted but couldn't afford, Wang Dong said bluntly: "Brother Tang..."

"This apprenticeship is a reward from the factory. It doesn't cost that much..."

"Just give me two hundred dollars..."

"And you don't have to pay me right away. Starting from next month, you can give me five yuan every month after I get paid. When I have collected two hundred yuan, you don't have to pay me anymore..."

"Get ready. I'll take you to the steel mill to start work tomorrow morning..."

"Follow me from now on...If you are willing to become my disciple..."

"It's okay if you don't want to become my disciple..."

Tang Dashan shook his head like a rattle and refused again: "No..."

"Dongzi..."

"You've helped me enough. I absolutely cannot accept this job..."

"If I nod my head in agreement, people will poke me in the spine."

"You should sell this job to someone else."

"The mountain..."

At some point, Uncle Chen suddenly appeared at the door of the Tang family and was helped in by Chen Jun.

"Wang Dong told me about the work. I watched you grow up, so there must be no problem with your character."

"Since I was injured, you have been the one who has helped me the most in the yard..."

"Wang Dong finally got a job quota, who else should I give it to if not you..."

"If he really sells the job to someone else and watches you continue to work odd jobs outside, the one who will be stabbed in the back will be Wang Dong."

"Since you think two hundred bucks a job is too cheap..."

Then I'll set a number for you: "Two hundred and fifty dollars in total, give Dongzi five dollars every month."

"Work hard in the steel mill and try to get a permanent job after three months. Then your monthly salary will increase to more than 20 yuan, and even if you subtract 5 yuan, you will still have 15 or 16 yuan."

"With the extra money you make from helping Dongzi take in banquets outside, your monthly income can definitely be more than twenty dollars."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Grandma Wang who was still in shock, and continued: "Aunt Wang..." "Just listen to me about Dashan going to the steel mill."

“Occassional work is not a long-term thing.”

"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider Xiaoshan and Xiaojuan."

"If you don't have a stable job, how are you going to support Xiaoshan and Xiaojuan to go to junior high school, take the college entrance exam, and then take the technical secondary school entrance exam in the future..."

"If Dashan wants to be a chef in the future, I'll make the decision. He can become Dongzi's apprentice now."

"I will learn cooking from Dongzi and strive to be promoted to a higher level every year. It will take me three or four years to pass the seventh-level chef exam, or even a sixth-level chef exam... With the monthly salary plus subsidies, I will have at least 40 to 50 yuan."

Seeing Grandma Wang nodding at him, Tang Dashan spoke: "Uncle Chen... I will listen to you... I will take Dongzi as my master now and learn cooking from him in the future..."

Wang Dong looked at Uncle Chen with gratitude.

If he hadn't appeared suddenly, it would have been difficult to convince Tang Dashan to accept this job by myself.

Looking at Tang Dashan, he continued, "Following me, you must not only learn how to cook, but also how to manage the kitchen..."

"The factory leaders promised me that as soon as I reached the age limit, they would promote me to be the canteen manager."

"By then, I must have someone to help me watch over the cafeteria and serve as the monitor of the cafeteria..."

"I think Brother Tang is the best candidate..."

"As long as you raise your chef level to level eight, I can make you the canteen monitor."

"With the monitor's allowance, even if the salary at that time didn't exceed 40 yuan, it wouldn't be much different."

Seeing Tang Dashan's stunned expression, Grandma Wang glared at him and said, "Why don't you thank Dongzi quickly..."

"Thank you Dongzi. I, Tang Dashan, will never forget this kindness today."

Wang Dong waved his hand and replied: "No need to thank me..."

"If you have a bad character and our two families have a bad relationship, even if I have an apprenticeship quota, it won't be your turn...

"This is all the result of your own efforts..."

"correct……"

"Although I only charge 250 yuan for the job I'm giving you, if anyone in the yard asks about it, just say 350 yuan, never 250 yuan..."

Grandma Wang understood: "Dashan... You must remember what Dongzi said..."

"There are many petty people in this yard. If they knew that you spent 250 yuan to get an apprenticeship quota from Dongzi, many people would definitely go to him for help..."

"It will be difficult for Dongzi to live in the courtyard if he agrees or not."

"The price of three hundred and fifty yuan is about the same as outside, so no one wants to take advantage of Dongzi."

Tang Dashan nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Grandma..."

"I'm not a fool. I understand all these principles..."

"A total of three hundred and fifty yuan. I will pay Dongzi five yuan a month before I am promoted to a regular employee, and ten yuan a month after I am promoted to a regular employee."

Wang Dong nodded and continued, "There is one last thing to tell you..."

"Working in the kitchen of a steel mill, I come into contact with large amounts of grain, pork, oil, and salt every day..."

"But you must not do anything with these things..."

"It's all a lie that a cook doesn't steal and that a worker doesn't work hard. A cook's duty is to cook well and constantly improve his cooking skills. Everything else has nothing to do with him."

"Only if you take good care of your hands will I have the opportunity to promote you to the position of canteen monitor in the future."
