Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 596: The long-term relationship network finally shows its value

The two apprentices have been with Sha Zhu for more than ten years, but in the end, none of them can become a chef independently.

In other words, after following him for more than ten years, I still can't stir-fry some dishes.

This is really unreasonable.

But judging from the results, it was actually right for Shazhu to be defensive.

Of the two apprentices, one followed him wholeheartedly, and the other, a little fat boy, really betrayed him.

Fifty percent probability. No wonder in the old society, masters always liked to keep a secret.

In fact, for more than ten years, I have not been able to see clearly the character of my apprentice. If I am not careful, I may be stabbed in the back by my apprentice one day.

Fortunately, Shazhu didn't dare to hide his love for the country and the people like this.

To put it bluntly, based on Chu Xiangqian’s relationship, loving one’s country and people does not mean one has to be a cook for the rest of one’s life.

In this way, the conflict of interest with Sha Zhu is not big, which makes it easier for Sha Zhu to take the initiative to teach patriotic and people-loving cooking skills.

Now that Chu Xiangqian has invited his old boss Chen Huaili and Xu Guiju, who basically works in the district, the matter is almost certain.

This is rare, and at the same time, it is also a great thing for Cao Guanglin.

This at least shows that Chu Xiangqian always regards himself as a member of the street.

But he knew more or less that there were rumors in the district, and even in the city, that Chu Xiangqian had gained the attention of his superiors, and when he heard that Chu Xiangqian planned to arrange for his prospective siblings to work on the street.

If you want to get a marriage certificate, you will have to wait a few years at most.

Not only did he go to the street, but he also took his aunt Xue Hongmei with him, accompanied Shazhu and Yuyu to the administrative office, and watched the clerk complete the entry procedures for Yuyu.

If the position of Yuyu is too high than patriotism, the relationship between husband and wife may not be happy.

Chu Xiangqian was indeed moved, but thinking about his patriotic arrangements, unless he went to Hong Kong Island, this boy and Aimin would stay in the canteen of the steel rolling mill for the next ten years.

Just being able to eat Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine in the future will be a pleasure.

At that time, maybe the children will be able to do so, and even if the neighborhood committee and the street know about it, at most they will just give them a painless education.

After dinner, we left and ran to find Cao Guanglin, the street director.

When you are stable in your 30s, it will be just in time to open a restaurant. When the time comes to open a restaurant, you will be the first group of people in the capital to become wealthy.

It is impossible and impossible to really break up a young couple.
-

The next day, when Shazhu and Yuyu were called by people from the street to go to the street in person to go through the employment procedures, both brothers and sisters were dumbfounded.

The salary starts directly at 58.5, which is already the same as that of technical secondary school and university graduates.

If you attract ghost guys to come over to support you, you don't have to worry about the guests anymore.

And Chu Xiangqian also truly realized that "Suiyuan Cuisine" would be so famous because of its actual strength, and he became active in opening a Suiyuan Restaurant on Hong Kong Island.

There is really no need to enter politics.

So let alone the countryside, even in the city, the management of the marriage age is actually relatively loose.

And the more upscale the restaurant, the less you need to worry about losing money.

If Yuyu was not really young and had no work experience, Cao Guanglin would even want Yuyu to be a clerk under him.

After just thinking for a moment, he made up his mind to let Duan Jidong go through the entry procedures for Yuyu tomorrow.

If you add Tan's cuisine and You Guang who specializes in Cantonese cuisine, maybe you will occupy half of Hong Kong Island's catering industry in the future.

Although the officers are not yet considered cadres, they are already considered preparatory cadres.

Instantly I became happy again.

People even organize their own weddings, and after treating them to a meal, the big guys recognize the two young people as husband and wife.

When the third grade of junior high school ends in June and Yu Yu has obtained his junior high school diploma, he will be able to officially work in the street.

After dinner, Xu Guiju even hinted that Yu Yu should go to the district and serve as a liaison officer for the Women's Federation under her first. After two or three years, when she has work experience and seniority, she would be transferred to the district as an organization department officer.

But Duan Jidong was unwilling and found several reasons to give up Cao Guanglin's little idea.

With the blessing of fame and the praise of diners, from now on the queue alone may last three to five months.

Fortunately, although Xue Jinglan no longer works on the street, her working relationship still remains with the street.

When Lao Cao heard that Chu Xiangqian was inviting guests, but he was not invited, he was actually unhappy.

As for letting Yuyu enter the street office with a junior high school diploma as soon as her 16th birthday is over, Xue Hongmei can actually handle it.

It is better to have more children while you are young.

Moreover, there were actually many special approvals. In addition, the policy of delaying marriage and delaying childbearing was not implemented at this time. Instead, after a war in the past few years, the superiors called for more children several times.

As for Duan Jidong, he really wanted Chu Xiangqiang's younger siblings to work for him.

Even if my work relationship does not involve the street, I still think about the street.

In case these two brothers really stopped being cooks, the one who would lose the most in the end would be Si Zhu himself.

And from a family like his own, Chu Xiangqian actually didn’t want his younger siblings to be cadres, let alone leaders.

As for the issue of patriotism and Yuyu not reaching the age of marriage.

Before Chu Xiangqian could reply to Xu Guiju, Chen Huaili and Duan Jidong quit.

These days, the legal age is 20 for men and 18 for women, which is very restrictive for cadres, but for ordinary people, there are too many cases where men get married at 18 and women at 16.

After all, in the past year and a half, Jiaodaokou Street, Luoguxiang neighborhood committees, police stations, supply and marketing cooperatives, steel rolling mills, and even grain stations and textile factories have basically become Chu Qianqian's basic network of contacts.

Otherwise, he would not be able to send the Zhao boy to the police station easily.

He also doesn’t have the ability to recruit Nan Yi, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiefang into the street kitchen and become regular workers.

Of course, when doing this favor, Chu Xiangqian also received money from the Zhao family, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui.

Nan Yi gave several treasures, even family recipes, and finally gave them to Chu Xiangqian.

As for Jiang Erlang's trip to the used goods collection station, Chu Xiangqian was looking for a helper for Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huairu establishes a foothold in the buying station and has qualifications, and pushes the current manager of the buying station to appreciate and leave, Qin Huairu can take over the Luoguxiang used goods buying station.

After completing the entry procedures for Yuyu, Shazhu couldn't even close his mouth with a smile.

Although He Yuyu was a little confused with excitement, he still didn't forget that Xue Jinglan would most likely be his sister-in-law in the future.

The feeling towards Xue Jinglan also changed from envy to gratitude. After all, He Yuyu is still a little girl who will turn 16 in two months. If she says she doesn't like Xue Jinglan, that's true.

But to say that I hate Xue Jinglan is not true.

Not to mention, Chu Xiangqian didn't show any intention of liking He Yuyu from the beginning.

As long as reason is still there, He Yuyu shouldn't hate Xue Jinglan.

Now that he is about to graduate from middle school, he is faced with the huge surprise of being able to work in the street. He Yuyu loves Wujiwu, and he immediately feels grateful to Xue Jinglan.

Speaking of which, girls in the early 60s had a junior high school diploma, which was considered a high diploma in this age of widespread illiteracy.

It is actually not difficult for high school students to find a formal job as soon as they leave school.

Of course, this is also because it is only 61. By the late 60s and early 70s, high school students in Beijing will no longer be valuable.

Firstly, education has gradually become popular in the city, and secondly, as people go to the countryside, many families find jobs for their children in advance, so they don’t have to go to the countryside.

So in just a few years, the number of jobs in the city has begun to be saturated, and jobs are naturally not that easy to find.

But in townships, if you are assigned to a township after graduating from high school, you are still considered a talent.

Therefore, although there are occasional staff members in the street who complain secretly, but they want to find fault, there is really not enough reason for the superiors to issue a document requesting an investigation into illegal operations.

Besides, Chu Xiangqian has been trading dried fish with the street and the district.

Every month, 4 kilograms of salted fish are sold to the streets and 1 kilograms of salted fish are sold to the steel rolling mill.

Even though most of the 4 kilograms were taken away by the district, there was still a lot left on the street.

Eating salted fish stewed with shredded radish every two days in the street canteen also made everyone on the street admit that they owed Chu Xiangqian a favor.

Now that Yu Yu has not married into the Chu family, there is no excuse for anyone who wants to cause trouble.

When the news reached the courtyard, few people except Shazhu and Yuyu said anything about it.

Chu Xiangqian understood after a moment's thought that Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian, Jiang Erlang, the boys of the Zhao family, plus Aiguo and Aimin were Chu Xiangqian's cousins, but they were also young people in the courtyard.

Chu Qianqian helped find all the jobs for so many boys.

It can be said that among the younger generation of Siheyuan, except for Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi who offended Chu Xiangqian, the others can find jobs when they reach their age. Only fools would go to trouble Chu Xiangqian.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai saw the rainwater entering the street, and Shazhu became the kitchen monitor of the canteen of the steel rolling mill. Although he and the deaf old lady did not pay attention to He Yueyue before, they would definitely side with Chu Qianqian now.

Not to mention the second uncle and the third uncle.

The two of them were also thinking about the work of Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi. In addition, they were trading antiques with Chu Xiangqian, and they could earn twice as much as their salary every month.

Jia Zhang, the most difficult to talk to in the courtyard, is thinking of selling copper coins to Chu Xiangqian, so as to save some money for his grandson to marry a wife in the future.

If anyone makes trouble for Chu Xiangqian, the three uncles don't need to discuss it. They will 100% drive the troublemaker out of the courtyard first.

If you find excuses to say this person is not good or that is not good, report it to the neighborhood committee. Even if Aunt Wang does not dare to take too many liberties and directly drive the person back to the countryside, she still has the right and qualification to let the family change to a courtyard house.

Even if this matter is brought to the streets and the district, it will still be in agreement with the neighborhood committee's decision.

If this person really had the ability to cause trouble in the city, he would run into the hands of Chu Qianqian's father-in-law.

Chu Xiangqian's more than 30 tons of wheat every month are now basically handed over to his father-in-law Xue Xiaomin. It is just a small matter of letting the family change to a courtyard house.

The city will definitely scold the person who reported this kind of thing first, and maybe punish the person first, and then comfort Chu Qianqian in turn.

Not to mention, Chu Xiangqian was already talking to his superiors about customizing an OEM watch worth 10,000 yuan.

Even though it was only 10,000 yuan, Chu Xiangqian was not stupid. It was impossible to directly purchase existing watches that Tianchao was already producing and selling externally.

If you want to pass off magnesium as a domestic product and sell it to islanders, you must at least redesign it and put an English trademark on it. The design must be innovative, and it is best to add some innovative technologies.

Watch movements are difficult to deal with. China’s existing technology is indeed not as good as international brands, so let’s start with the appearance.

In his previous life, Chu Xiangqian had seen too many examples where the core skills were not very good, but they relied on their appearance to sell well.

Looking at the appearance of the watch, Chu Xiangqian quickly recalled many kinds of watches he had seen in his previous life.

Except for some designs with high technical requirements, some watch designs will not be surprising even to ordinary people in the future, but in the eyes of people of this era, they are innovative and good-looking.

After getting the design drawings that Chu Xiangqian drew and colored by himself, Tang Lianxin looked up several times and looked at Chu Xiangqian who was drinking tea.

He secretly thought that this guy is really amazing. Not only does he know how to design watches, but he, an old stubborn man, even thought of buying one.

It can be seen that if this watch is really produced, domestic sales will definitely exceed those of the existing domestic all-steel watches, let alone foreign countries.

And Chu Xiangqian put on a beard and a pair of old-fashioned eyes to make his age look like he was in his 30s. After discussing with professionals in the domestic watch industry, he immediately decided to use the newly popular In a few years, sapphire surfaces can also be made in China.

It is said to have a sapphire surface, but it is actually just a special glass that emits blue light.

However, although this kind of artificial glass is not low in cost, its surface is smoother and purer.

When you look at it from an angle, the glass surface does emit a blue light that looks like sapphire.

As for the cost of a piece of sapphire surface, which cost 17 US dollars, Chu Xiangqian called to Hong Kong Island and after asking someone, he agreed without thinking.

Although Chu Xiangqian knows that the cost of domestic production is likely to be far less than 17 US dollars, the cost of purchasing a sapphire surface for several European luxury goods companies in which they own shares is at least 24 US dollars.

With the purchase price of $17, there is no need to haggle anymore.

I even thought about whether to make a batch of finished products and send them to several luxury goods companies in which I have shares.

If these luxury goods companies also purchase, the amount of business on watch faces alone will not be small.

Moreover, these luxury goods companies are also using sapphire surfaces to highlight the class and taste of their own watch brands.

Even if it is said in the end that it is not as good as these brands, just by discussing it in the media, the watch you just created can instantly get rid of the low-end and enter the level of a mid-range brand.

China is very satisfied with the price of 17 US dollars.

This is the asking price, which means that there is still a lot of room for bargaining, but Chu Xiangqian has no intention of fighting for the price difference of US$1 or US$2.

He knows very well that only if China feels that the profits are large enough, it will be more active and care more about quality.

And no matter how much Tianchao earns, it will definitely not be as much as he earns.

A piece of sapphire costs US$17 on the surface, and Chu Xiangqian can easily raise the price to US$20.

Even 30 US dollars, and Chu Xiangqian also decided that the first product of his new watch would cost 240 US dollars.
