Chapter 1684 Work
Although it's expensive, General Manager Vincent doesn't want to return the product. After all, all commodities are necessary, any one makes people reluctant to give up, and even makes people want more.
As for the money issue, it is not a problem for Mr. Vincent who is the general manager. Now the management of both the government and the organization is very chaotic. As long as the mines are done well, there are plenty of opportunities to make money.
As for the assistant Logan, serving Mr. Vincent well is his greatest duty. Although spending too much money made Mr. Vincent a little dissatisfied, but the other party was not particularly angry, and then comforted him a few words, and even rewarded him with a tip.
Logan is a follower hired by Vincent's general manager privately. The basic salary is not much, and only the tip after running errands is worth looking forward to.
It was already late at night after serving the big shots and going home to rest. Logan was tired and hungry after running around all day. He fumbled for the tip in his pocket, and decided to treat himself too. During the day, he saw a small grocery store near the supermarket, which seemed good.
Walking to the street where the shop is located, Logan saw many people gathered here. There are police cars patrolling nearby, and everyone is more disciplined. Before and after he went up, he saw a big pot at the door of the small shop, and all kinds of ingredients were cooked in the big pot.
Those who can open a shop now are all big shots. When Logan was shopping during the day, he heard that even such a small shop was owned by a bishop in the church. And looking at the crowd who came to consume, the business seems to be good.
"What do you want?" The store is not big, with a few light bulbs lit by batteries, and three or five employees are busy. An employee stood in front of the cauldron and asked Logan who was pushing up.
The hot soup was burning in the big pot, and it smelled delicious. Various ingredients are constantly emerging in the tumbling water bubbles, which makes people very appetizing.
"What are these?" Logan had never seen this way of eating, but it felt pretty good. There is also a price tag on the cauldron, which doesn't seem expensive.
"Ma La Tang."
"What?"
"Ma-spicy-tang." The clerk said three words, then shrugged and said that the name of the thing is just that. "Don't ask me why it's called this name? I don't know, but I promise it tastes good."
"It's a bit like the 'Oden' in Japanese cuisine, and it's like the 'military pot' in Korea." Logan was also happy. He has received a higher education and has a lot of knowledge.
"No." The clerk shook his head. "This is the Chinese way of eating. It is said that it was recommended by the emperor of the Aurora Legion. Our food seasonings are all imported."
The clerk grabbed a used packaging bag in his hand,
It says 'Ma La Tang Bottom Material'. No one at the scene could understand it. They only knew that the food cooked with this thing tasted really good.
There are many types of ingredients in the cauldron, which is very wasteland. Luncheon meat is in good supply, 'Supreme' instant noodles are cheap and plentiful, and vacuum-packed quail eggs are also good. In addition, there are rice noodles, something that Americans seldom eat.
"The vegetables are grown on our own farm. Would you like some potato chips and radish chips? This is the lowest price." The clerk introduced patiently.
Logan was so amused by the smell in the cauldron that his mouth was drooling, coupled with the constant urging from behind him, he squeezed the money in his pocket and said: "Give me some. I'm hungry, and I should be able to eat a little more .”
A large stainless steel iron bowl was quickly filled with food, and the peaks were piled up high, full of weight. The price is really not expensive, and Logan can consume it. Holding the big bowl, he took the fork handed over by the clerk, and slowly walked to the table next to him and sat down.
American tastes are biased, and many so-called "Chinese dishes" in Chinese restaurants are sweet and sour and greasy to suit American tastes. Americans don't like 'Chinese food' as much as they imagined, but no one cares about the so-called 'American taste' any more.
The taste of 'Ma La Tang' is also heavy, and the taste is very mixed. The mix of various flavors made Logan very addicted to eating. He quickly ate a large bowl to the bottom, and when he was about to drink up the soup, someone suddenly called out "Logan".
As soon as Logan looked up, he saw a sloppy man sitting beside him. The other party looked at the soup base in his hand in surprise and said, "Oh, the food is really good, have you found a job?"
"Uh..." Logan faltered for a while, he really couldn't remember who the person in front of him was, so he could only nod at the end of the sentence and said, "Yes, I found a job."
"Work there?"
"Bingham Copper Mine."
"Oh..., it's good to be a miner now. I saw with my own eyes that many miners came to the city today to make big purchases. They bought a lot of goods casually. No wonder you can afford such good food. It turns out that your life is guaranteed. "The sloppy man looked at Logan enviously.
"It's better now than in the past." Logan didn't want to say that he was actually just running errands for others. After all, it was obviously a very decent thing to talk about working in the 'Bingham Copper Mine'. He looked at the other person's eyes and stared blankly at his iron bowl, and subconsciously asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Oh, yes. If you don't mind." The scruffy man scratched his messy hair, and snatched the iron bowl from Logan's hand.
Logan's original intention was not to invite the other party to eat. He didn't want to give it, but the other party's dirty fingers touched the bowl. He suddenly lost his mind to fight, and could only watch the other party happily eat up the remaining soup base, almost licking it clean.
"You haven't found a job yet?" Logan was almost full, so he simply chatted with the other party.
"It's better now than in the past. Anyway, I can do some odd jobs from time to time. But it's hard to find a stable job." The slovenly man waved his finger around the small shop, "Why do you think these people gather here? Everyone is here to find a job .”
The sloppy man's finger finally pointed to the side of the 'Ma La Tang' shop, and only then did Logan realize that there was another shop closed in the dark. Look at the signboard at the door is a place to recruit workers. Now that he was excited, he ran to the notice at the recruitment office and took a few glances.
The sloppy man followed up and explained: "After the signing of the free trade agreement, there have been more job opportunities. The mine has recruited more than 20,000 people in one breath, and the church has also hired 2,000 truck drivers. It also requires a lot of manpower.”
"There will be more and more job opportunities, and life will get better." Logan also echoed. Compared to suffering day and night in the past, at least he is quite satisfied now. For this, I must thank the 'His Majesty the Emperor', although the things he sells are very expensive.
"However, jobs are not easy to find, and the requirements are quite high." The sloppy man sighed, "For example, the church only recruits its own personnel, and high-paying positions will definitely not go to outsiders. Those of us who escaped can only do some jobs. Pieces of work."
The positions released by the recruitment office are really service positions, and the working conditions are quite harsh and the pay is low. But even so, there were still a lot of people robbing. Most of the people near the 'Ma La Tang' shop were not here for dinner, but were waiting to recruit workers the next day.
"However, I heard that the Aurora Legion occasionally releases jobs with extremely high salaries, but the requirements are also very high, which is not something ordinary people can apply for." The sloppy man said pretending to be mysterious, "The number is small, and the competition is very fierce. It is even possible to grab a job. Initiate a duel."
"Duel?" Before Logan could figure out what position it was, a car suddenly drove up by the side of the road, and several people appeared with a large notice.
Seeing these people, the sloppy man jumped over excitedly as if getting an electric shock, and asked loudly, "What job do you have? I am willing to dedicate all my loyalty to His Majesty!"
Logan was taken aback, and subconsciously ran forward. At this time, all the crowd gathered around the 'Ma La Tang' shop squeezed past, and Logan felt the surrounding space shrink rapidly, and it was so crowded that it was difficult to breathe, but everyone still tried their best to ask what work they had?
"Come here to kick the dogs. Experienced ones are preferred. We need architects who understand advanced languages. The treatment will be favorable, and the remuneration will be paid according to the standard of the legion." The visitor simply jumped into a car and shouted loudly. "It's okay to have someone who is familiar with advanced databases, we all want it."
Logan was shocked when he heard the words, and shouted in ecstasy: "I'm just kicking a dog. I graduated from MIT. I've been waiting for His Majesty's call for a long, long time!"
After saying this, Logan burst into tears, and all the pain in his heart spewed out. In the last days, kicked dogs have no human rights. It is not easy to live until now. Waiting for His Majesty is so hard!
