Chapter 568 Another Setback Hits Me

Han Li found a guesthouse, took out the letter of proof, registered a room, asked the waitress for the nearest and cleanest bathhouse, and went to take a bath. As a result, he was so comfortable in the bathhouse that he forgot the time. When he felt hungry and walked out, the lights were already on.

At this time, Fu Weihong had already gone home from get off work. Although Han Li's idea of ​​treating people to dinner today was unsuccessful, he could only find a restaurant to make do with a bite.

Han Li came to a state-owned restaurant nearby. There were several kinds of casseroles hanging on the wall. He ordered a sauerkraut spine pot with some meatballs.

This meal was particularly delicious after taking a bath. It might also be because the chef's skills were good. He ate a full casserole with soup and vegetables, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

After eating, Han Li put on his hat and scarf after sweating and walked out of the restaurant.

However, he did not go back to the guesthouse to rest directly, but went to a large black market in a roundabout way.

Because Han Li asked Zhang Ganying to buy ginseng last time, and spent more than half of the cash he had prepared. Let alone what he would use the money for in the future, he would not be able to collect any more large goods such as ginseng.

So Han Li's main purpose of coming to the black market this time was to exchange the gold and jewelry in the decomposed space for money, and to exchange more. If one black market doesn't work, go to several more.

Facts have proved that as long as the black market does not involve the interests of "certain people" and the people who come here are not too ostentatious, it is still relatively safe in the current "big environment".

Because the black market in big cities is different from the black market in small counties, where they can cover the sky with one hand.

But the territory in big cities is too large, and it is not something that one person or one force can take over, which has caused strong competition between black markets.

Because there are only so many people in a city, if more people go to your side, there will naturally be fewer people coming to my side, so they are trying their best to snatch every potential customer source, for fear that they will not make money or make less money and be replaced by the boss behind them, or they will not be able to "supply" and be wiped out.

So, except for the slightly higher prices in the black market and the need to be careful after leaving the black market, the treatment here is better than that in the state-owned stores.

However, this situation is limited to the past few years, because now you can't go anywhere without a certificate. It's hard to say when you don't need a certificate to go anywhere in a few years.

So Han Li went around four black markets in a low-key manner today without encountering any trouble. In addition to exchanging gold and jewelry for a large sum of money, he also bought a lot of canned food, beef, white striped chicken and chicken racks, which are relatively rare things.

The next day, Han Li got up early in the morning and stretched his muscles in the house.

Because it was too early now, Han Li sat on the bed and read a book to kill time after washing up.

It was not until the sound of people going out on the street that Han Li put away his books, put on his backpack, went to the front desk to say hello to the waitress and left.

Because this guesthouse is relatively close to the library, he didn't know what would happen today. After finishing his work at the library, Han Li not only planned to treat his pen pal Fu Weihong to a meal, but also to purchase some medicinal materials for refining Dali Pills. These things filled up today's schedule, so he didn't check out.

After Han Li came out of the guesthouse, he walked all the way to the vicinity of the library, and then chose a restaurant to eat a bowl of tofu brain and two large fried dough sticks.

While eating, Han Li looked at the building in front of him. This is a building that has experienced the Republic of China and the puppet Manchukuo period. This was the former Northeast General Bookstore, which housed many precious historical archives at the time.

And before liberation, many upright books, revolutionary literary works and newspapers were published here, including "Turnover Music", "People's Music" and "People's Drama", as well as the highest quality quotations in the country in the early days, etc.

In 1948, due to some reasons, the Northeast General Bookstore not only transferred all the precious archives to Shengjing, Liao Province, but also changed from a general bookstore to a branch store. It was not until 1950 that it reopened. No matter from which aspect, this is a great regret for Bingcheng.

After eating and drinking, Han Li took out the telegram and walked into the building, and was then directed to the office of Director Ying.

After Han Li knocked on the door and got permission to enter, he first introduced himself. Without waiting for Director Ying to complain, Han Li immediately explained the reason for his late arrival. The heavy snow in the countryside blocked the road, and both letters and telegrams were delayed for several days. Wait.

After Han Li explained the situation, Director Ying's face looked much better, and the next thing was simple.

After the two of them exchanged some polite words, Han Li was led by Director Ying to apply for a qualification certification for a Bingcheng translator, and then he was given a quota for a temporary worker in the library.

After Han Li got this temporary worker quota, he could not only receive a salary of 18.5 yuan per month, but also some simple basic benefits, and he could apply for a dormitory. As for whether he could apply for it, that was another matter. In addition, as a temporary worker, he does not have to pay a deposit when receiving the translated documents.

Moreover, his salary will become 19.5 yuan in the second year, 22.5 yuan in the third year, and 36 yuan and all corresponding benefits after becoming a regular employee.

Han Li was stunned for a moment after hearing this. This was another increase in his salary. If the salary of the doctor in the commune health center was included, wouldn't he be a dual-income earner now? If the translation fee was added, he would be a high-income earner now, and he could withstand any inspection.

However, Han Li immediately realized that Mr. Liu would not fight for any salary for himself under normal circumstances, and even if he did, it would not be a temporary salary.

So his temporary salary should be the work of Director Ying to curry favor with the superiors, but Han Li just needed to express his sincere gratitude at this time.

What is sincere gratitude? In this era, it is at the wine table.

So with Han Li's sincere gratitude and repeated invitations, the two walked out of the unit and walked into a restaurant hidden in the alley under the leadership of Director Ying.

There was a sign of a state-owned restaurant hanging on the street door, but whose restaurant would be opened here?

Han Li was confused, and Director Ying said at this time.

"Brother Han, don't look at this place in a remote place, but it is an authentic state-owned restaurant. The chefs here are absolutely excellent. The key is that there are not so many people here, and they are all single rooms. It is very quiet and worry-free when eating."

When Director Ying said this, Han Li understood that this was the kind of private chef and private club in the future that was quite well-connected and skilled.

Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seemed that he was really too ignorant. It might also be because of his identity that he couldn't get in touch with it, because he had never even heard of such a place before, let alone come in to eat.

There was no need to look at the menu on the wall here. The person who led them in directly told them what was available today.

There was nothing special about the dishes provided here, but the environment and service here were enough to beat those restaurants on the street by a large margin. As for the taste, you will know it after tasting it.

Of course, Han Li would not be stingy when hosting. Besides, after he was admitted to university next year, he would not need this library establishment far away in Bingcheng.

But Han Li would not let it go. This organization would be a great favor to whomever it was given to. Besides, he had a lot of it, so when it was needed, he would have to trouble Director Ying.

Han Li ordered the most expensive roasted mandarin fish in milk sauce first. Director Ying's eyes showed a little more joy after hearing it.

Ordering dishes is the most challenging thing for people, and it is also an indispensable knowledge in the officialdom. Especially when two people eat for the first time, the first dish ordered by the host can explain many, many problems.

Director Ying is trying to curry favor with his superiors, but it is the best thing to make friends with a potential stock while currying favor with his superiors. Now we can guess it from the posture of Han Li's ordering dishes.

Next, Director Ying ordered a dish of fragrant double-section and fried cocoon pupa and stopped ordering. Han Li added pot-wrapped pork, braised pig face, and potato-braised spareribs, but was stopped by Director Ying, saying that the two of them could not finish it.

But Han Li said that there was no soup yet, so he asked the waiter to add hot and sour soup to whet the appetite and sober up before he stopped.

(Stir-fried cocoon pupa is not explained, grilled mandarin fish with milk sauce is one of the representatives of traditional Russian dishes in Bingcheng. Fragrant double-section is also one of Bingcheng's specialties: its main ingredients are pork tenderloin and shrimp, the taste is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, fresh and delicious. Hot and sour soup is one of Bingcheng's traditional soups: made with pork shreds, fungus, eggs and other ingredients, sour and spicy, it is the best choice for appetizers and hangovers.)

It is worthy of being a chef in such a restaurant. Not only are the dishes served very quickly, but the taste of the dishes is also quite good.

And Han Li is also the first time to act as a person who persuades people to drink at the wine table. Director Ying has a very high alcohol tolerance. It can be said that he drinks all the wine. Although Han Li has the help of the golden finger, the taste that is worse than the water used to wash the pot almost made him vomit.

When Director Ying said that he admired him and didn't drink, the time had come to three o'clock in the afternoon.

The two returned to the library together. Although they drank a lot, they walked as usual. No one was crooked or unsteady. If you didn't get close, you couldn't tell that they were drunk. However, Han Li relied on cheating, while Director Ying relied on his own ability.

The two returned to the office and exchanged pleasantries. Han Li finally left the library with a pile of documents before leaving get off work.

After Han Li put away the documents in the deserted alley, he immediately went to the post office and called Fu Weihong.
