Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 512 Secret Gift (ask for a monthly pass)

After finishing the chat with the other party, Chen Nian turned around and sent An Hongdou good night, then turned on the cross talk, put on the earphones and lay down on the bed and began to sleep.

It didn't take long for me to feel drowsy constantly, and my thinking consciousness became heavier and heavier.

Chen Nian feels that his sleep quality has always been good, and he seldom dreams at night. He usually closes his eyes and opens them in the morning, and there is no special feeling in between.

Basically, you only need five or six hours of sleep a day to meet your normal needs.

Time passes quickly at night, and the sky turns dark blue in a short time, which is a precursor to the coming of day, and Chen Nian basically wakes up at this time every day.

He opened his eyes in a daze and reached out to turn off the alarm clock.

Every day, Chen Nian wakes up to the alarm clock saying that 100 million yuan has arrived. He thinks that sooner or later he will be able to turn the sound of the alarm clock into a real account.

So every day, Chen Nian wakes up with the dream of being a rich man and firmly believes that he will become a rich man sooner or later.

"You can do it, come on!"

Chen Nian looked at the mirror and cheered himself up. When he went to the store, Chen Nian looked at the things he had bought earlier on the Internet, and it probably arrived today.

In other words, starting from today, you can make a birthday present for An Hongdou.

After arriving at the store, he received the ingredients from Brother Liu, and Chen Nian began to devote himself to the intense and busy preparation work.

But today, with Xie Yu, besides He Hai, who always goes with him every morning, there is also Li Ting.

Li Ting is Xie Yu's cousin. He came here for an interview to help the cook before, but he performed well and was hired by Chen Nian.

I must have prepared my health certificate and other things when I came here today.

"Coming?" Chen Nian looked at the neatly dressed Li Ting and nodded.

"Here comes the boss." Li Ting also responded with a smile. He was quite satisfied with his new job these days. He was too nervous that day, so he didn't ask for salary when he left.

It was later that Xie Yu remembered this matter and asked him about it. As a kitchen assistant, a salary of five thousand and five thousand five thousand five hundred and fifty was already very good, not to mention five social insurances and one housing fund and annual regular medical examinations.

In this industry, especially when going to small restaurants, many people don’t know how to get social security, let alone provident fund, and there is still a phenomenon in many places, that is, they just come to the trial period or the internship period, and they have to work once they have completed their work. It will take three months to become a regular.

Only when it is time to become a full-time employee can I get the full salary agreed at the beginning.

But in Honghong Hotel, as long as you come, you will be paid according to the agreed salary. If you work for one day, you will get one day's money. Even if you work for three days and leave, you can still get the full salary for these three days.

This is what makes Li Ting more excited. Of course, he came here to find a job, and naturally he didn't want to leave after only three days.

What's more, the social security and provident fund promised here are also available just after joining the job.

While talking, Li Ting took out his original graduation certificate from the bag he brought with him, the new health certificate issued in the past few days, the nucleic acid report within three days, and some chef certificates and certificates he had taken before. s things.

Chen Nian took it over to check, and found that there was nothing wrong with those documents, and then went to the computer to check the health certificate, and all of them could be found.

"Welcome, we have another friend in our store from today." Chen Nian looked at everyone in Honghong Restaurant with a joyful smile on his face.

Then he pulled Li Ting to his side: "Although we have met before, why don't you introduce yourself a little bit?"

Li Ting nodded, and after clearing his throat, he began to introduce himself: "Hi everyone, my name is Li Ting, Li is Li Shimin's Li, Ting is very good, the one with chest and head up is Ting, this time I'm here We are applying for a vegetable cutter in our shop. I am 22 years old, unmarried and have no girlfriend. In the future, I hope everyone can take care of me. If there is a suitable girl, you can also introduce me. After all, I am quite a person. Work hard."

"Hahaha, did you lie to me back then? At that time, you said you wanted to find a job, and I introduced it to you. Why does it seem that you are here to solve the problem of being single?" Xie Yu, the cousin, immediately asked Made a joke.

"Cousin, I don't think there is any conflict between them." Li Ting said innocently.

Others were also very happy to hear the conversation between the two brothers. Feng Honghong, as the oldest elder here, came out quickly and said, "There is no conflict. What is the conflict? You can work here with peace of mind. Auntie Wa'er will introduce you, Auntie has lived here for decades and still knows some people."

"Well, thank you, Auntie, I will definitely work hard here!" Li Ting smiled after hearing this.

"Okay, then you guys go to work in the kitchen first, Xie Yu, tell your brother about the situation here, and by the way, let him familiarize himself with the kitchen, and see what we are going to do in the future." Chen Nian arranged for everyone go back to work.

And he himself came to the door. There is a bulletin board on the wall here, on which are the photos and names of all the people in the store, as well as the store's business license, sanitation permit, and other things that need to be announced. .

In addition to these, there is also a health certificate for everyone in the store.

Open the outer cover and put Li Ting's health certificate inside, then erased the line below and changed it to "There are seven people in the store, and seven of them have been vaccinated."

After finishing these, Chen Nian put the lid back on and went back to work in the kitchen.

I have to say that the newcomer Li Ting is still very capable at work. He just got to know the ingredients for a while in the morning and followed everyone to get acquainted with the ingredients. Pay attention to what the requirements are when dealing with them.

When it was time to start working, Li Ting quickly got started.

"By the way, Xiao Li, if you have time later, you can practice cutting tofu more. Our Wensi tofu is a signature dish. You should know it after studying it. It is similar to the chrysanthemum tofu you made when you came last time. But the cut wire is required to be finer.”

While everyone was preparing the dishes, Chen Nian said suddenly.

Hearing this, Li Ting couldn't help raising his head: "Boss, what is the requirement for our Wensi Tofu?"

"It's not easy for me to describe this to you in detail. You can take a look when I do it. It will basically meet that standard by then."

After more than an hour passed like this, Chen Nian planned to start making Vance Tofu.

So I called Li Ting to come and see.

The two dishes of chrysanthemum tofu and Wensi tofu are similar to each other to some extent, so Li Ting didn't feel much novelty in the previous steps, because he also did the same, and the state when cutting Can't see anything either.

It's just that he can feel that Chen Nian's hand holding the kitchen knife is more stable.

As for the cut tofu, it can only be seen when it is put into the water.

After Chen Nian had cut a piece of tofu, he put it into the water and kept pushing it gently until the shreds of tofu were evenly spread out. Only then did Li Ting see the shredded tofu inside.

"So thin?"

"Boss, why are you so good at knife skills?"

"It's made by practice." Chen Nian took out another piece of tofu while talking, and handed the knife to Li Ting at the same time, asking him to try it too.

Li Ting took the knife nervously and began to cut the tofu.

The others were watching intently, because Li Ting's knife skills were already very strong for them, and the most important thing was that Li Ting was still young.

After a while, Li Ting also cut a box of tofu, which also fell apart after being placed in the pot, but it was obvious that the shredded tofu inside was twice as thick as the shredded tofu cut out of old age.

"Boss, my level is still not as good as yours. I was concentrating on cutting just now, but the cut is still so thick." But Li Ting didn't expect that the gap would be so big. If you look at it separately, you might not be able to see it. What is it, but it is very obvious when put together, and the thinner the thing, the more obvious if the thickness is inconsistent.

Hearing this, Chen Nian smiled and patted Li Ting on the shoulder: "It's okay, you've actually done a good job. I also knew a friend before. He was much older than you, but his level was about the same as yours. , Later I told him my tricks, and after a period of practice, he was able to cut like me."

Listening to Chen Nian's words, Li Ting regained his confidence. When his cousin was crazy about Amway, he was not very tempted, but until now he feels that he has really come to the right place.

After all, when he was in many big restaurants, those chefs were not willing to teach him. It was not because of anything else. Mantle.

But just on the first day of coming to Honghong Restaurant, the boss promised to teach him the skill of cutting tofu into thin strips. How can this keep him from being excited?
You must know that cutting tofu is very difficult. If you can cut tofu well, you can learn from it when cutting other things.

"Master is buying people's hearts by teaching others again. That's how I got into the boss's trap step by step." He Hai whispered to Qiao Zhaomei from the side.

But after finishing speaking, he couldn't help sighing: "But what the master said is true teaching, if it were different, I would definitely not dare to do this, and I would run away if I taught my apprentice to the apprentice, let alone this is the first day. "

"Yeah, or the boss is different from other people, this is called charisma!" Qiao Zhaomei said admiringly.

"That's right, that's called charisma. People who have gone to school are better than illiterate people like me." He Hai nodded quickly.

But the old pot of Wensi tofu just now was intended to be used as a staff meal. After all, he put the two together for comparison, so that Li Ting could have a more intuitive understanding.

At least one goal is motivating.

Work at noon and afternoon was as usual, but no one from their small group came over. After all, everyone had their own jobs, and they couldn't change people to eat every day.

During the day, after Chen Nian received the courier, he put it under the table, and the others didn't ask Chen Nian what he bought.

After everyone left at night, Chen Nian opened several express boxes.

Several square pieces of wood, an electric milling cutter, an electric drilling machine, sandpaper of various sizes, a jigsaw, a metal file, a vise and a A green handmade mat with grids painted on it.

This is what Chen Nian bought back, and he plans to make a hairpin for An Hongdou.

In this way, the gift is more personal, but it is not too expensive, and it can also show your heart.

It took a long time for Chen Nian to choose this gift. He chose for a long time from all kinds of finished gifts and finally decided to make one by himself.

Although Chen Nian had never done carpentry before, he felt that he should be able to do it. After all, what this thing needs is fineness, aesthetics and some physical work?
However, in order to prevent loss, Chen Nian bought two more pieces of wood on purpose.

He bought sandalwood, because when he checked on the Internet before, he saw that the texture of sandalwood is denser, and it is hard and not easy to break, and it looks better when made.

I have already thought about what style to age.

First of all, he took a piece of paper, and he planned to draw a pattern on it, but he didn't know it until he did it. After he started, he realized that it was not so easy to draw just such a simple sketch.

The lines should be smooth and the spacing should be moderate. After changing a few drafts, I found that I was either struggling with the circular painting, or the proportion of the drawing was not right.

In the end, Chen Nian drew more than 50 sketches before finally drawing the effect he was satisfied with.

It has been more than an hour to get to this step alone.

"Why is this thing so troublesome? It's completely different from what I imagined!" Chen Nian was sweating profusely. This thing mainly requires extreme care.

Even if my hands are steady when cutting vegetables, I still feel very nervous when picking up a pen.

Looking at the tutorial again, Chen Nian pasted the previously drawn drawings on the wood, and then fixed it on the table with a vise.

It was only at this point that he gradually became more comfortable. After all, he was using tools or metal jigsaws. He just cut along the lines on the drawing, and quickly removed all the excess parts on the corners.

Then there are the lines inside, but at this time Chen Nian looked at the time and it was getting late. If he continued at his own pace, he didn't know when he would be able to take out the inside.

"Let's do it tomorrow." Chen Nian removed the tools from the table, put them into a box and hid them in an inconspicuous place under the counter.

Although a lot of energy was spent tonight, Chen Nian felt that it was worth it, at least now he can gradually get started.

"Looks like I'm still very talented."
