Chapter 1192 It Is Impossible to Work Part-Time

"Qiming, why don't you give your aunt a call. She has been in New York for so many years, so she has something to do with it. Let her help you find a job to deal with it, and then we can figure out a way?" Guo Yan said when she woke up in the morning. She is very dissatisfied with her aunt's arrangement yesterday, but now they are not in Beijing, but in New York. They are unfamiliar with the place, and they can't even understand American language. Apart from seeking help from her aunt, she really can't think of any other way .

"Don't worry, we finally came to the United States, why are we in a hurry to work? We have to go shopping for a few days before we talk about it." Shen Long knew very well what kind of work his aunt could recommend, and it was nothing more than washing dishes in Ah Chun's Xiangyuan Building Washing dishes is also the only way for almost a generation of overseas students and new immigrants in the 1980s.

Wang Qiming had never done this before in the capital. He started playing the cello at the age of eight, and his hands have always been protected. On the second day in the United States, when he started working upstairs in the Xiangyuan, his hands were covered with bleach, powder, Detergent and dirty dishes ruin all senses.

From the age of eight to thirty-five, from elementary school to middle school, from the conservatory to the symphony orchestra, Wang Qiming never left the cello for a day in 27 years, but since he came to the United States, he has completely insulated from the cello; All kinds of misfortunes in the future may not have nothing to do with this. starter

"We can't wait any longer, now we only have five hundred dollars, and there is still two hundred dollars a month's rent in this kind of crappy place, and it must be quite expensive to eat and so on. Five hundred dollars can't last for a few days " Guo Yan has been in charge of the family's expenses, and it has become almost instinctive to settle accounts.

"Sharpening knives is not the same as chopping firewood. Let's go around and get to know the United States well, so how can we know what kind of work is suitable?" In fact, foreign students and new immigrants in the 1980s are not the only ones who can do dishes. They can come out during this period. They are not ordinary people, and they all have their own strengths.

For example, Wang Qiming and Guo Yan, one of them is a cellist and the other is a violinist. It would be too wasteful if they only use it for washing dishes and knitting sweaters.

The reason is that, firstly, people in this period were not confident enough, and their English proficiency was not good enough. When they came to the United States, they dared not and were not able to communicate with others. Without the qualifications to work, they can only go to similar places to be squeezed.

If Shen Long goes to the Xiangyuan Building, it is estimated that the proprietress, Ah Chun, will have to fire the current chef the next day. Please respectfully treat Shen Long to be in charge, and after a while, here will be able to get Michelin reviews, let alone foreigners who can’t eat Chinese food. , in fact, even during this period, top Chinese chefs can still make their mark in the United States.

As early as 1968, Zhou Yinghua, the Chinese food god, founded the "Mr. Chow" restaurant in the expensive Knightsbridge area of ​​London, England, facing Hyde Park; in 1974, he went to the United States and opened the second Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Now it has expanded to New York, Gandhi, Bill? "Mr. Chow" dine.

If Shen Long wants to do this, New York will soon have another Chinese God of Cookery, but Wang Qiming's wish is not just to get rich, otherwise he would not seek Shen Long's help. You must know that he has become a rich man in the future. In terms of money, he is not lacking. What he wants more is a happy family and the realization of his dreams. So what is Wang Qiming's dream?

To put it bluntly, Shen Long took Guo Yan out. Guo Yan held Shen Long's arm nervously along the way, and carefully looked at the hippies who were dressed up on both sides of the street. When she arrived at the bustling area, she began to marvel at the American developed.

Shen Long's performance surprised her,

Whether it's the gangsters with tattoos all over their arms, or the towering skyscrapers, he didn't show any strange color, "Qiming, you...you're not surprised at all?"

"Hey, haven't we seen these in the picture album!" I really can't be surprised by this, I have a big manor in Long Beach, see, the building opposite, it used to be mine. The building next to it is also the same; as for the gangsters, I am not surprised. I was the overlord of the underworld in New York back then, and these people didn't even have the qualifications to stand guard in front of me.

After shopping for a while, the two of them were a little hungry. Shen Long took Guo Yan to KFC for a meal. This brand-new dining mode and food type opened Guo Yan's eyes. In addition, she was indeed hungry. After eating two hamburgers and several chicken legs, I was a little flustered when I learned the price, and complained repeatedly about Shen Long's wasted money.

"Hey, why did we come to the United States? Isn't it just to live a good life? What is KFC? After a while, I make money and I will take you to a big meal! What steak and red wine are delicious , keep you full!" Shen Long said carelessly.

"Life in the United States is good, but only rich people can enjoy it." Guo Yan said with emotion that the bustling business in New York opened her eyes, but it also put more pressure on her.

When it was time for dinner, Guo Yan said that she didn't want to eat outside, so she dragged Shen Long to the supermarket to buy some cheap ingredients and went back to the basement to cook for herself.

After just wandering around New York for three days, she still didn't see Shen Long looking for a job. Guo Yan was really anxious. She called her aunt, who introduced her to a part-time job in a Chinese restaurant.

As soon as Guo Yan came back, she told Shen Long the good news, "Qiming, my aunt has found a job for you, and she went to the restaurant to help others. I asked, and it costs 800 dollars a month. annual salary, I will accompany you to meet the owner of the restaurant in a while."

During this period, domestic wages were extremely low. Wang Qiming and Guo Yan worked in the symphony orchestra in Beijing, and their monthly salary was only about 30 U.S. dollars, which had to be the official exchange rate; It is indeed an astronomical figure.

"Forget it, you can just say thank you aunt, but I have my own plan." Shen Long is now seriously cleaning Wang Qiming's cello, and he didn't even lift his head when he heard the news.

"Qiming, I know that this job has wronged you, but now is not the time to choose. Let's work hard first. After saving next month's rent and the money for my aunt, let's think of a way, okay?" Seeing this scene, Guo Yan also had a sore nose, they are also artists after all.

"Isn't it just to make money? Come on, go out with me to see how I make money!" Shen Long got up and said.
