Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 2 - 【Meeting with fellow countrymen】

   In the kitchen of Sunshine Restaurant in Webster Township, Wang Jun, who was unwilling to be mediocre, was chopping onions and tears, and he was ecstatic.

   Many people say that American freedom, democracy and equality are purely nonsense, but inequality is very vague. For example, many restaurants in the United States prefer to accommodate black people who see women who only ask “about” instead of hiring Chinese who do not have green cards.

Todd Ken, the bald boss of Sunshine Restaurant, used Wang Jun as an outsider, mainly for his ability, washing dishes and dishes, pouring garbage, moving goods, sweeping and mopping the floor can be dry, but when the kitchen is busy, he can help cut vegetables. . The best part is that he can do the work of three people by himself, and only takes one person’s salary.

  After cutting the onions, Wang Jun leaned against the kitchen door and rested a bit, watching the waiters draw with some envy.

  Meditation is a dead salary. The boss only gives a weekly salary of $250, a very depressing figure. The waiter has no basic salary, but the salary is a tip given by the customer.

When dining at a restaurant in the United States, as long as a waiter orders food, you must pay an average tip of 15% to 20%. Above this amount, you are satisfied with the service attitude, and below this amount, you are dissatisfied with the service attitude. , Generally not less than 10%.

   Good areas are easy to get more tips. For fairness, draw lots every day. The waiter draws the number, and today he is responsible for taking care of several districts. The guests in this district are responsible for him, taking guests, serving, closing, adding water, closing tables and so on.

  Waiters can get hundreds of dollars a day if they are lucky. Doing miscellaneous work is nearly 12 hours a day, tired of the pain of backache.

   “Wang, what are you foolish about? Move these two boxes of soda to the kitchen quickly.” boss Todd cried. As long as the employee is standing still, he is not comfortable.

   “Got it.” Wang Jun nodded.

   After a while, Todd called again: “Wang, move all these ingredients into the kitchen, can you hurry up? Then rub it up and deduct your wages today!”

   Today is a weekend with many guests. Until ten o’clock in the evening, Wang Jun finally finished cleaning and was ready to leave work.

   He said to the boss: “Mr. Todd, I decided not to resign.”

   Todd froze for a moment, and put on a smiley face: “You did a good job, I am not bad to you? Why should I go? Are young people so afraid of being tired now?”

Wang Jun shook his head and smiled, “No, I’m doing very well and I learned a lot. I want to go to a big city to find a job that makes more money. I have to save some money before I go, even if I get there I can’t find a job right away, but I can support it for a while.”

Todd stopped persuading and withdrew three hundred dollars from his wallet and stuffed it into Wang Jun’s hand and sighed: “It seems that you have thought about it for a long time. Boy, I suggest you go to Ann Arbor, only a few dozen kilometers away. If you can’t find a good job, you can go to Detroit by car.”

   “Boss, thank you for your suggestion, and thank you for giving fifty more.” Wang Jun smiled. Although Todd has a lot of trivial matters, at least he does not default on wages.

  He is looking for a job here, more to exercise communication skills, and chat with people when he has time. The result is good, although his English pronunciation is not very standard, the conversation is no problem.

   knew that he was a passer-by. Wang Jun did not rent a house in Webster Township, but found an old unoccupied house in the slum area to live temporarily. After a little cleaning, there was no water or electricity, so he could make a living to save money.

   Todd patted Wang Jun on the back and went out with him to the restaurant. Like an elder, he encouraged, “You are very capable and aggressive. I believe you will make money.”

   “Thank you for your kind words.”

   Although he has nothing in the United States, Wang Jun can always live with a smile. Although his salary is very low, he takes things seriously. He earned respect with his own efforts.

  The next day, Wang Jun carried his travel bag to Ann Arbor.

   In a week, he earned 2,400 yuan at the exchange rate of 1 to 8. Wang Jun was very satisfied. He believed that he would earn more in big cities.

  Ann Arbor is Michigan’s sixth largest city and the closest to his location. There are nearly 40,000 students there. It has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the United States for many years, and its residents have the highest education level in the United States. These characteristics alone are enough to attract Wang Jun, even better than Detroit. If you have money, it is good to pick up Leying and let her study at the University of Michigan.

  Wang Jun took a car, this time not so lucky, the driver’s destination is the township near Ann Arbor, he can only think of the rest of the way.

  Wang Jun had a lunch at the town basketball court and watched the locals. Heads up with 10 goals in a round, taking turns to attack, advanced 10 goals count as a win, and a goal of 10 dollars.

   The stakes are not small, so poor that he can’t wait for a dollar coin to be cut in half, and Wang Jun is a bit tempted, but after seeing the performance of those people, he didn’t hesitate to shrink his neck back and eat quietly.

   The speed of a few black people is too fast, they can also jump high, and they can easily dunk about 1.8 meters in height. The emergency stop jumper is also amazingly high, and it is impossible to block it. Wang Jun lamented that amateur players are so powerful, the United States deserves to be a basketball nation.

   In the afternoon, he left the town and walked from two o’clock until it was dark. He didn’t catch the car again, nor saw the shadow of the city.

  He started to have a headache. Isn’t it going in the wrong direction? Awful, are we going to sleep in the woods and on the grass today? It’s cold enough here.

   Michigan has a wide temperature gap between day and night, and even in July, it is painful to sleep in the street. Moreover, Wang Jun does not have a tent or sleeping bag, so I am afraid it will become a blood bag for mosquitoes.

  He walked for another hour, but he hadn’t gotten in the car yet. He saw a faint light on the roadside ahead.

   Luck. In this dark environment, Wang Jun was like a boat lost in the vast sea and saw the lighthouse of hope. He walked over and found a beautiful RV parked on a wide lawn, which looked very advanced.

  Wang Jun was tired early and went to knock on the door. Sleeping in the RV, maybe he will be taken to Ann Arbor tomorrow, and he will kill two birds with one stone.

   dong dong! The knock on the door is very textured, the door is made of metal.

   opened the door to an old man with ordinary dress, ordinary appearance, beard and gray hair, just like the kind of retired elderly people like Huaizhou who often play chess on the side of a big tree. Wang Jun almost shouted in excitement, this seems to be a Chinese!

   “Hello boy, are you Chinese?”

   The old man speaks standard Chinese Mandarin. Wang Jun took a deep breath and was pleasantly surprised: “I am Chinese, hello old man.”

  Meeting fellow countrymen in the wilderness of the United States is so fortunate.

   The old man smiled and said: “Are you doing anything?”

  Wang Jun solemnly bowed and said seriously: “Old man, my name is Wang Jun. Soon after I came to the United States, I lost my way and wanted to stay overnight. Is it convenient?”

   “Please come in. I’m the only one here.” The old man kindly pulled his arm into the house and smiled: “I’m so bored, I hope someone can chat.”

   The layout in the RV is very simple, with everything from beds, sofas, tables, and cooking stoves. Wang Jun sincerely admired: “It’s a really good car.”

   “Do you like cars?”

   “No, I just saw that this car suddenly had money-making inspiration, about catering.” Wang Jun was excited.

  The old man poured a glass of water to Wang Jun. Wang Jun quickly thanked him and sat down on the sofa. The old man sat on the bed.

  The old man asked: “Since you are Chinese, how come you came to such a remote place in the United States, can you tell me? It is too early to take a break, it is not yet 9 o’clock.”

   “That’s really a long story.”

   “I like listening to stories, do you drink? Do you want to have a drink with me? I still have some leftovers here at night.”

   “Respect is worse than obedient.”

  Wang Jun lamented that he met a good person. This old man is really generous. He not only has beer to drink, but also has crispy duck, smoked fish and other foods to make alcohol. At first glance, he is a person who can enjoy life very much, and he is an old-time eater.

  Wang Jun is not a person who can hide things in his heart. The hard work of this time has a strong desire to pour out. He first talked about his own affairs in China, and then how he was deceived in the United States.

“Father’s car accident, mother’s terminal illness, living in relative’s house, uncle and cousin still look bad on you, really bad luck. You want to make money so that you can leave their house as soon as possible?” The elderly drink well and drink for seven Bottle of beer.

  Wang Jun accompanied him to drink seven bottles, a little dizzy at this moment.

  Drinking mantra after drinking, he speaks more and more. “If it’s not impossible, who would send someone under the fence? This time I came to work, my uncle disagreed. The reason was that I was afraid of Yingying’s problems during this time. I blamed them for taking care of them and blackmailing them. Isn’t there something great about me? Isn’t it a deputy director of a state-owned enterprise? If my aunt hadn’t been worried about us, I wouldn’t want to go…”

   “Do you hate them?”

   “Not count, my aunt is really kind to our brothers and sisters, I will return this kind of affection sooner or later.” Wang Jun sighed: “I just don’t know when it will develop.”

   “Dare to come to the United States without money, and have confidence to make a name in a year. Should I say that your kid is confident or arrogant?”

“I’m more confident now. After ten days, I found that American food is extremely unpalatable and I have to pay a tip for eating in the restaurant. It’s troublesome. If I sell some delicious food without tipping, I probably make a lot of money. UU reading www.uukanshu.com” Wang Jun laughed.

   “You have to hire people when you open a store. You have to pay rent, utilities, and taxes. Don’t tip, you have to pay the waiter’s salary.”

“I don’t open a store. When I have money, I buy a dining car. It’s as big as this RV. I cook in the car. I drive to tourist attractions to sell cakes, Baiji buns, hot squid, etc. Eat, easy to do, don’t tip, just find two helpers. I think it’s easy to find someone to cooperate with.” Wang Jun smirked: “Buying a car is always cheaper than opening a store?”

The old man nodded appreciatively: “Xiao Wang, you are a wise man with a lot of feelings and good character. I admire you very much and I am going to give you a small gift. Have you thought about it? Your talent is not suitable for cooking. “

   “So what should I do?”

   “Athlete, did you go to sports school, do you like to play basketball?” The old man pointed to the small TV in front of him, the sports station was playing basketball games, and the Bulls VS Jazz 98 Finals was recorded. He said: “Playing basketball is more profitable than being a cook.”

“I like basketball, but I can’t play the main role in Chinese sports schools. Do you think my size is like playing and making money?” Wang Jun pinched the fat on his stomach, layer by layer, horizontal Seen as a peak on the ridge side.

   “It’s fine to lose weight. I think your height and arm span are good, and you have big hands. This is a star figure.”

   “In short… I’m the kind of person who drinks cold water and grows meat.” Wang Jun laughed at himself and took a sip of beer.

   “Maybe I can help you lose weight.”

   “Hey, thank you first.” Wang Jun suddenly felt his head getting dizzy and his eyelids began to fight.
