My days as a dishwasher

June-July, 21

Actually, my first part-time job started after the senior high school entrance examination. When I was a child, I didn't know what books I read. I always wanted to go to school while working. After the mid-term exam, my mother finally agreed to let me go out and look for it. She probably thought I couldn't find a place.

At that time, I was about 15 years old, so I was a child laborer. I didn't expect xxx Pie Shop to be in a hurry to recruit people, so I became a dish washer with a monthly salary of 8 yuan. As for the working hours, I now think that I was really young and able to fight. I could work until eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning and afternoon, not only washing dishes, plates, chopsticks and spoons, but also washing all the porridge pots.

My aunt who washes dishes with me is about fifty years old. She has worked in that shop for more than a year, so she can be regarded as an experienced dishwasher. I worked with people older than my mother when I first started working. To be honest, I was still a little nervous at that time. Out of "respecting and loving the elderly", I always rush to work. The waiter pushes a car full of dirty dishes and immediately takes out an extremely warm welcome. At the same time, he tells my aunt to rest first, and I can handle it myself.

Probably because I am clever and capable, my aunt is very willing to chat with me, my children and husband are trivial at home, and I am a novice and always listen to everything fresh. So, I know the perfect aloe vera gel, that children who are soldiers can't go home often, and that middle-aged people will be greedy. Our working condition is that our hands don't stop and our mouths don't stop.

It's a step into the society to go out to work. The people you meet are really completely different from those at school. Apart from the aunt who is easy to talk to, there is also a sports student who has just finished the college entrance examination. He is a sunny boy and is also very talkative. He often shares some experiences of high school life, and we will also make jokes about him and a waiter named Chunchun. There were brothers and sisters who came from the county to learn how to make pies. At that time, the hukou in the city was still very popular. I didn't think there was any difference. On the contrary, there were extra points in the entrance examination of rural hukou, but they would tell me how important it was to really work. There is a handsome boy who regrets going to school early. He looks like LEE JOON GI and can dance street dance. He is also very kind and often helps us wash the dishes. I added his QQ, but he blacked me out not long after my high school started. I always feel that he has some inferiority, which may be due to his academic qualifications or an embarrassing life. For me who have been staying at school, their lives and stories are new to me. Although it has been seven years, their appearance is blurred, but their stories remain in my mind, and it seems as if it happened yesterday every time I tell people.

Now I often go to Hong Kong to wash dishes, and I can earn more than 1, yuan. Washing dishes is really manual work. Although I have only worked for a month, I know the basic situation of this industry.

Dishwasher's job can be regarded as manual labor. Because all of them work standing, you must have a good body. At least you have to be able to stand. Three or four hours is a short time. When the shop is busy on weekends, the dishes haven't been washed at noon, and the tableware comes again at night. If there are not many tableware in the restaurant, you really can't catch up with the trip. Moreover, the dishwasher is exposed to the tableware used by the guests, and some food scraps are inevitable on it. A basket of dishes were poured into the pool, and all the oil, vegetable leaves and steamed bread cakes were floating on the water. I felt disgusting when I first started working. Isn't this a dirty pool? I can barely do it with plastic gloves. After two days, because wearing gloves to wash dishes really affects work efficiency, I just started directly. During that time, my hands were always in a state of vesicle.

For the first time, I don't know how to compare and choose, but I'm happy to earn money, and I forget whether I'm tired or not when I get the money I earned myself.
