"Chongqing First Wipe" Laid-Off Shoeshine For 22 Years

The day before yesterday, accompanied by Tang Yuanzhen, 22 years' retired worker Tang Da Jie shoe booth, the sign retired. Instead, it was a new sign with the word "Chongqing first wipe". It was published in the book "laid-off shoeshine twenty, a model of self-improvement."

This is the signboard of Tang's elder sister's reputation as "shoeshine star". It's Mr. Yang, who lives in the five li shop of Jiangbei District.

Yesterday morning at 8, Jiangbei District Sansteel road.

Tang's elder sister, who lives in No. 17 Jialing village, has set up a booth as usual, and excitedly hit the new sign of "Chongqing first wipe".

What is the unique skill of Tang elder sister? It can be called "the first wipe in Chongqing"?

"The shoes she wipes is long and the service is warm and thoughtful."

Li Gang, an old customer who had rubbed shoes for more than 20 years in Tang Da Jie, opened his speech.

Tang Da Jie, 56, was a brick worker in a construction company in Jiulongpo District. After she was laid off in 1985, she sold green powder and tea and worked in a restaurant.

Six months later, Tang elder sister set up her shoes booth and began to think about shoeshine.

"Shoeshine pays attention to one fast, two good, three solicitation."

In addition to technical clearance, enthusiasm is a big sign for Tang's elder sister. In her spare time, she often clears dust on her shoes for old customers free of charge.

When a guest is in a bad mood, she tells jokes to make people laugh.

Old customer Zhang Bihua used "long dragon" to describe the welcome scene of Tang's elder sister.

Once, a Hong Kong businessman who came to Chongqing worked in a pair of crocodile shoes with a pair of tens of thousands of yuan.

Tang's elder sister is getting more and more famous in the circle, and many people come to learn technology.

"Many people squatted at the stalls, and for many years there were no fewer than 100 disciples.

Lao Tsai, a neighbor's shoe repair teacher who had been working with Tang's elder sister for more than 20 years, said that every time sister Tang was very happy to use her family skills, she never asked the name of her "Apprentice".

In the street, she often calls her "master".

"The restaurant's shoes are very greasy, and their heels are often rubbed badly."

After 20 years of shoeshine, Tang's elder sister saw shoes and could tell the owner's information.

A few days ago, Mr. Yang specially produced the "Chongqing first wipe" sign for her.

"This is everybody's affirmation to me."

Sister Tang is a treasure.

Now, when her son graduated from University, her family was gradually getting rich, but she could never throw away the shoe box: "I must persist until I can't rub it."
