The work was not easy in that firelit kitchen of the Sri Krishna Eating House that seemed to grow hotter and hotter and never to cool down even at night. The Eating House never quite shut and customers had to be served with tea and bread or bread and lentils whenever they demanded it, day or night. Jagu kept his promise of paying Hari a rupee a day which came to seven rupees a week, good wages for a young boy new to the work, and Hari was grateful for it.
This passage works in contrast to the studied passage as it describes the lifestyle when living in the city, as apposed to living in a village such as Thul. It shows a contrast of wealth in people living within the city and that they have a higher quality life style. It explains how there is more technology around when describing the kitchen and also the personalty of customers, when it says "The Eating House never quite shut and customers had to be served with tea and bread or bread and lentils whenever they demanded it", words such as "demanded" give off this idea.
This passage also gives the theory of it being easier to find work in the city, as Hari has now got a job which enables him to support his family.
