22 episodes. Things started to get weird.

Inham’s workplace is divided into two main categories.

These are the red zone and the white zone.

The criterion is whether you see blood or not.

Therefore, workers unconditionally prefer the white zone.

It’s clean, comfortable, and the work environment is good.

For example, bones and pavements belong to this white zone.

So what is a red zone?

It’s dirty, hard, and uncomfortable, and it’s a place everyone avoids anyway.

‘But you want me to go there?’

According to the supervisor, there was a sudden vacancy in the Red Zone.

Inevitably, he said that he had to replenish the staff from other lines, but it was decided to send new employees instead of skilled workers if possible.

So our rider became the target.

Among them, 10 people remained excluding women, and 4 European girls were excluded from it.

Europeans don’t last long in the Red Zone. (Isn’t this racism?)

The remaining 6 finalists.

That’s where I won.

The reason was that there was a discussion with the Lead Hands, the part managers of the workshop where 6 candidates were assigned.

Of course, there must have been a battle between the leading hands who did not want the number of people to decrease.

However, the person who came out first and put out the number of people was the leading hand of the Boning Line to which I belonged and to which Kim Ha-min also belonged.

According to Hee-sun and Ji-hyeon yesterday, they were very close to Kim Ha-min and were the parties who recommended them to Inham.

‘Whoever sees this is that bitch… Whoa!’

how should i cook this

I’m angry, but I have to put up with it right now.

I have a heart attack, but I don’t have any physical symptoms.

The fact that Kim Ha-min flirted with the leading hand is just a circumstance, and they have the cause.

The justification that they took the initiative and introduced the staff.

How pretty would it look from a supervisor’s point of view?

“Then where should I go?”

“Follow me.”

I followed him to the Red Zone.

On the way, he gave me some brief information.

“Your place to work is the hanging part.”

It is said that the line of the Red Zone is divided into Hanging, Kill Floor and EVIS.

Hanging is the operation of hanging the chickens alive, the chickens are moved along an automatic line, and the line where their necks are cut and their hairs are removed is the kill floor.

“Still, the colleague I work with is the same Korean, so it’s worth it.”

“Are you Korean?”

“Yeah, he’s the only Korean in Red Zone.”

I heard that most of the Red Zones are from Southeast Asia or Africa.

In the case of Southeast Asia, they say that by their standards, the pay here is very strong, so no matter what you order, they say nothing.

Africans are also compliant because they have refugee visas.

There are Koreans there.

‘What kind of person are you…’

I was taken over by Supervisor Tommy in Red Zone, who took me to the Hanging Dock.

Hanging part work place, hanging dock.

It is called so because it is the place where trucks loaded with chickens dock.

A large Asian man was working there, sweating profusely.

“Hey, Poe!”

pho?

Does your name have a po?

Korean names are difficult for Westerners to pronounce, so they usually use foreign names or use one letter in their names.

In my case, they just asked me to call her by my last name, ‘Jin’.

But it’s not a ticket, it’s a porno. Is there Mr. Po? I can only think of Pocheongcheon…

“Yes, Tomi.”

A man who appeared to be at least 185 tall approached me.

“Po, you teach Jin how to work. Jin is also Korean.”

“all right.”

“Jin. Do your best.”

Tommy patted me on the shoulder and went to look at the other parts.

There is no leading hand or anything like this in other parts.

why? It’s an incredibly simple job.

“Hello, I’m Park Yoohyeon.”

He took off his gloves, wiped his hands on his hips, and reached out in front of me.

I said to wipe it off, but the palm of my hand was still stained with chicken dung.

If you look closely, your body is covered in chicken dung and chicken hair.

“Yes, this is Jinyuseong.”

Without hesitation, I took her hand.

“By the way, is your English name Po?”

“Ah, that’s it. Yes, my name is hard to call. And it’s also my nickname.”

Yoohyeon.

it’s understandable difficult to pronounce

Also, Kim, Lee, and Park are common surnames, so it is easy to get confused with other people.

I need an English name in many ways, but I was unfamiliar with it, so I decided to use a nickname.

What is this ‘po’?

The name of the panda in the movie Kung Fu Panda.

Their eyes are small and round like a buttonhole, so they look gentle.

In addition, he said that he was an MMA fighter in Korea, befitting Kung Fu Panda.

He is 28 years old, the same age as me.

It is said that he came to Australia in search of a turning point in his life after beating him because he could not see the future.

‘I heard it one day. Martial arts are really hard to make a living on…’

How desperate were you to come to Australia?

It must have been dark because he had invested his life until he was 28 and did not see any results.

When Korea treats losers again, isn’t it merciless?

If you do not have the specifications or experience you have accumulated at this age, there is no answer.

what? Aren’t you young at twenty-eight?

not young No, I’m young.

Although he is young, in Korea, there are many competitors with great specifications accumulated at that age.

The correct method is to beat a rock with an egg.

So, whatever it is, you have to find another way and constantly try it.

“See the ring here? You can lift the chicken upside down and put your feet between its teeth.”

Park Yoo-hyeon showed a demonstration in person.

– It’s pretty 🤩! Pretty Pretty Pretty 🥺!!

Knowing that the chicken is about to die, it flaps its wings and throws shit in all directions, and there is no riot.

I also picked up one and tried it.

It’s dirty and dirty, but it’s quite heavy when I listen to it in person.

“Isn’t it a little heavy?”

“Yeah, I’ll get an egg in my arm after work.”

If you look closely, the chicken is quite large.

My house is a chicken house, so I know the standard.

-Small and Medium: No. 7, 8, 9.

-Mid: 10, 11, 12.

-Large: No. 13, 14.

-Extra large: No. 15, 16, 17.

For chicken, I used #10 in the past.

However, for some time now, the head office has been sending down No. 9 mixed. How do you know? pretend you know

The difference is so small that it is barely noticeable.

However, when the steps are taken, the difference is stark.

The chicken I have in my hand now must be of great quality.

No, it was so huge that I thought there was nothing strange about it being a turkey.

So how heavy is it?

‘Wow, this is no joke.’

Hanging a chicken that is constantly vibrating makes my arms tremble and my back hurts.

‘That person is a Roboton…’

Park Yoo-hyeon held one in each hand and walked around.

Anyone can see it as an ace.

The physical strength that comes from being an MMA fighter was enormous.

device ging.

Then suddenly the conveyor line stopped.

Looking around for something, Tommy walked around and announced the break time.

After that, the sound announcing the break time also came out of the speaker.

It looked like they couldn’t hear it because it was noisy inside the factory.

“It’s break time. Let’s go.”

In Park Yoo-hyeon’s words, being on time is like a knife.

We went to the break room and bought drinks from the kiosk.

“Is it hard?”

“Yeah. It’s kind of like that. But Yoohyeon applied here? Or did you get assigned because of a vacancy like me?

I asked, rubbing my arms.

“I applied. The pay here is higher than other lines. I’m trying to earn as much money as I can from entering the factory to make money.”

Hmm, does it mean that money recognizes the value of labor?

Rather than paying more hourly wages because it is something that many people are reluctant to do.

“If that’s the case, the kill floor gives you more, right?”

“At first, I didn’t know how to apply, but I went and asked for a change in one day.”

“Is it that hard?”

“It’s more mentally exhausting than hard, man.”

I do.

No matter how dumb you are, you have to kill living creatures every day.

It seemed like the perfect fit for me to be mentally ill.

“You see them over there, don’t they have life in their eyes?”

Park Yoo-hyeon pointed to the Southeast Asians gathered to one side with a wink of eyes.

Unlike the White Zone, the Red Zone is all wearing red work clothes.

It is because it is easy to see blood, and when blood is stained on white, it looks more prominent.

However, the only place to actually see blood was on the Kill Floor.

It was far away, so it was hard to see, but it was clear that the red work clothes were stained with chicken blood.

“I’m bigger than them, and I used to fight, but when I ask them to fight, I’m not confident.”

“……”

Real eyes are no joke.

It seemed like it could make him lose his fighting spirit from the moment he met anyone.

“Hey, Poe.”

A black man next to him spoke to Park Yoo-hyeon.

“Hey, Kanuta.”

“Are you new here?”

“Yeah. Greetings. I’m Korean and my name is Jin.”

“Hey, Jin. I’m Kanuta. Nice to meet you.”

“Yes, call me Jin. Nice to meet you.”

I reached out my right hand to shake Kanuta’s hand, but it was a bit awkward.

The hand position is high for shaking hands.

Then he took my hand and crossed his thumb and my thumb, pulled me straight, and lightly bumped his shoulder and mine.

Ah, this is the greeting I saw in a foreign movie.

‘You really do say hello.’

Besides, because the opponent is black, it has a hip-hop feel.

Another foreign greeting is the fist bump, which is a fist bump, but I don’t know the name of the shoulder bump.

Anyway, that’s a really cool way to say hello.

“That friend is from the EVIS part.”

“Ah, the part that removes the chicken head and intestines.”

“Okay. But he’s no joke either.”

“What?”

“I’m from Sudan, and I was a mercenary there.”

“OMG······”

Somehow, when I bumped into my shoulder, I felt like a stone.

What is this, the Red Zone is a collection of only human weapons.

***

after work,

I had a drink with my classmates and was called to a pub.

Of course, not all 15.

Half of the work was done in the afternoon.

Inham is divided into two shifts, morning and afternoon.

This place was for morning shifts only.

“brother.”

“Uh, are you here?”

It was Hee-sun.

Jihyun, my best friend, seems to have come alone because she works in the afternoon.

She said hello to the others at the table and then sat down next to me.

It’s probably more comfortable for someone with an acquaintance.

“How was work?”

“It’s really good. I take breaks well and it’s easy to work. I don’t know if it’s okay to work like this and get paid.”

According to Hee-sun, it seems like they are getting too much money for the work they do.

Let’s take a break if there is only a little tension! After that, let’s rest again! So he said it doesn’t seem to work.

In addition, the air conditioner will come out and it will be cool, just like packaging, emptying your brain and repeating it, how easy would it be?

It was then that I realized what she had to say.

Even if this is a company accessory, you can be happy if you get a lot of money.

Even if I do what my ego tells me, if the hourly wages are high, the work is comfortable, and the welfare is good…

Of course, this doesn’t apply to everyone, but it was a refreshing shock to me, who didn’t like a life like accessories.

okay. I thought that my salary may have been unhappy because the amount of money I received was small compared to the work I was doing.

I realized it all over again. that money is so important.

“How was oppa? Did you meet Hamin oppa on the line?”

I shook my head at Hee-sun’s question. And he told me what had happened.

“Uh huh, that oppa really… I told you to get along like that.”

“Do you think so?”

“I think it’s highly likely because he’s recognized by the boning side and he’s close with the leading hand.”

“First of all, don’t even bother. If the evidence for this isn’t clear, rumors can get weird.”

“Yes, don’t worry. That mouth is heavy.”

I clashed her glass with the words I believe.

But a few days later.

Things started to get weird.
