Chapter 819 Takenozuka

   Chapter 819 Bamboo Mound

   At six o’clock in the morning, the dawn comes. Masayoshi Kishimoto ended his first day of working at a convenience store in Takenozuka, Adachi Ward. I started at 22 o’clock last night and ended at 6 o’clock this morning, working for a full eight hours.

   To be precise, he should have started working at 21:30 last night. Arguably, this should count as eight and a half hours of work.

The reason why    was deducted for half an hour was because it was not considered work, but only pre-job training. The manager familiarized himself with the working environment with himself, and also gave a necessary work content explanation.

   The hourly wage is 900 yen per hour, and you get a total of 7200 yen. There is no problem with the store manager paying according to the hourly salary during the day. After all, in order to get this temporary job, he agreed in advance.

   The other party still kept his promise, paid his salary on the spot, and also told the individual to come to the store at 21:30 tonight.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi did not show the sullen look on his face. Instead, he happily answered the word “okay”, completely hiding his true emotions and thoughts.

   He put the money away, went to the locker room, took off the work clothes of the convenience store, changed into his daily clothes, and then walked out of the convenience store where he worked.

   An hourly wage worker like myself has no autonomy, especially when I am especially short of money now, it is even less so.

   If you have to compete with the store manager for something, then others can no longer hire yourself. As for the reason, is it not easy for people to find a reason at random?

   Masayoshi Kishimoto, as a single young man, lives in Tokyo, an international metropolis, as long as he is diligent and willing to work, then it is not difficult to survive.

  Here, low-end hourly jobs like convenience stores are still everywhere. Many young people of his age, whether they are local in Tokyo or from other places, generally just regard it as a simple job that they do not plan to do for a long time.

  In their minds, they would naturally feel that such a job has no future. In fact, if people get into this part, there is no future at all, just try to live a little better.

   Of course, young people living in this social class also have some aspirations. Men and women aspire to be models, idols, comedians, entertainers, etc.

   Do they think so, or do they feel that only in this way can they change their own destiny. Other than that, it’s not something they can hook up with.

   Entering a large Japanese company and becoming an official member is simply unrealistic. After all, the prerequisite is to graduate from a famous university. Therefore, they do not have such unrealistic ideas.

   They have a completely different life scene and path from the middle class. They belong to the bottom of Japanese society, and they are generally poor.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was walking on his way home, can lie down and sleep when he gets home, which is considered a kind of happiness. When one person is full, the whole family is not hungry.

   At this time, many middle-class office workers in Tokyo, Japan, just took off their work clothes from convenience stores and put on suits and leather shoes for going to the company.

  If they feel mentally and physically tired, they will go to the pharmacy to buy mental and physical medicines to swallow.

  Responsible men in Japan live so hard because of debt. On the one hand, the breadwinner needs to carry a family, repay the mortgage or something. Tokyo’s housing prices are among the highest in the world.

  If you want to take root here and own your own home and private property, even an ordinary small apartment of about 50 square meters with a loan repayable in 35-year installments is still very expensive for ordinary people.

   Such a thing, naturally, you can’t count on your wife. The wife also has her own business, in addition to housework and cooking, she has to take care of the children.

  On the other hand, individuals owe a lot of card debt or usury. Otherwise, it’s gambling debt or something. If you don’t pay back the money when it’s due, naturally you won’t have good fruit to eat.

  Adachi Ward is the northernmost ward among the twenty-three wards in Tokyo. Takenozuka is a small area at the northernmost tip of Adachi Ward. If it is further north, it will be out of the administrative division of Adachi Ward.

  As long as people born in the twenty-three wards of Tokyo have a pride in themselves, Tokyo people. Outside the 23 wards of Tokyo, even if you are from the 26 cities, 5 towns, and 8 villages under the jurisdiction of Tokyo, you will not self-identify as a Tokyo native, but will say that you are a person from a certain place.

   On this point, people in big cities in China are the same. Except for the main urban area of ​​the city, the rest of the people will say that they are from a certain county, not with a certain city.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi crossed the bar street of Takenozuka, and it was not as lively as the night. However, some stores are still open. Due to the low latitude of the earth, the skin of the Japanese is naturally paler.

  It is not surprising that he saw some dark-skinned Southeast Asians. This is the place where the most Filipinos gather.

  Many Filipinos open mid-to-low-end small bars on the bar street in Takenozuka. They also have to work sixteen, seven hours a day, or more.

  Customers who come into the store to have a drink during the day are half as much as they are at night. In the current time period, it is not that there is no business, but that there is still business.

  Many taxi drivers who have finished their shifts, ordinary office workers who have finished overtime, etc. also come here to seek a kind of self-comfort and relaxation.

   In 2004, Chinese taxi drivers also had a middle-class or well-off skilled job. At this time in Japan, taxi drivers were not only a tiring job, but also did not earn much money.

   Even if the taxi fare is high, it is the taxi company that makes the most money, not the taxi driver. Japanese people don’t think that driving a car is a very technical job.

   As long as you are human, you are not mentally disabled or physically disabled, you can get a driver’s license. If you have a special vehicle driver’s license, the income can be higher.

   Some of the young Japanese volunteered to join the army and joined the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, in order to have a driver’s license to drive a special vehicle. Not for anything else, but for the sake of making a living in society in the future.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi knows that the entry and exit of this kind of low-end small bar is still a place opened by Filipinos, which belongs to the ordinary people at the bottom of Japanese society.

   They are willing to take the initiative to come and consume. One is that the price is cheap, which is equivalent to half or even one-third of the price of the low-end small bars opened by the Japanese.

  The other is passion. In order to make money and to be able to send money back to their family members far away in the Philippines every month, the Filipino **** girl naturally has to work harder. Otherwise, you will lose your competitiveness on this one.
