The story of a cook

Chapter 113

At the age of 25, it is time to marry a wife and have children in the countryside. I just got married, and I have to wait another two years to get married.

I am 25, my mother is 65, and the 65-year-old is the time to coax grandchildren, but I am not even married, and my mother's desire to hold grandchildren

It will take another two years for that to happen.

My task is daunting.

Returning home from home in the provincial capital, I made my first meal since renting a house.

The feeling of being at home is really good.

Prepare the meal and wait for Lin Yan to come back from get off work for dinner.

It was a feeling of happiness.

When Lin Yan came back, she was very happy to see that I had finished cooking. She put her arms around my neck and kissed me, and said, "Old Tan, you are back, I miss you so much."

I said, "Really, I'll take a look, I don't think so."

Lin Yan said, "I've thought about everything."

That kind of shy little woman reminds people a lot.

During the meal, Lin Yan ate salted duck eggs and asked, "Is this salted by our old lady?"

I said: "Yes, my mother pickled it, let me bring it back for you to eat."

She said: "It's so kind, the old lady is so kind to us."

I said: "Don't always be an old lady, an old lady. If you don't want to be called a lady, you can call me a mother. It's not good to be called an old lady."

She said: "I can't say "Mom" because we're not married yet, so let's call him Da Niang."

I said, "It's okay, but Mom will have to call sooner or later, don't you practice first?"

She said: "It still takes practice, and it will naturally be called when the time comes."

While eating, the young couple of classmate Lin Yan came back and called them to come and eat together.Our two families had dinner together for the first time.When asked if they drank, Wang Hao said not much, and Wang Jing said yes.So he took out the wine and saw that it was baijiu. Wang Hao said he couldn't drink baijiu, so he went downstairs to buy beer.

Wang Hao really can't drink, even after drinking a bottle of beer, but Wang Jing can drink quite a bit, and he drank with me till the end.

When she was sleeping at night, Lin Yan said: "Old Tan, you are not allowed to drink with Wang Jing from now on."

I asked: "Why?"

"You'll know in a while." Lin Yan said, "Before you got off work late, and we all fell asleep when you came back. You don't know, this time you can experience it for yourself."

I felt it myself, the voice was passionate, loud and soul-stirring, and it could make people's blood boil even through two doors.

Lin Yan and I looked at each other and started our story.

I was not in a hurry to find a job, and wanted to enjoy life at home for a few days, but the pager rang, and I called back downstairs, and it was Boss Zou who passed me.

The eldest sister asked me: "What are you doing? Tanzi."

I said, "Stay at home."

The eldest sister asked: "Did you not find a job?"

I said, "Not yet."

The eldest sister said: "You know the Yangchun cold noodle shop next door to our house?"

I said, "I know, isn't it the Xianzu restaurant?"

The eldest sister said: "Yes, it's just his house. Now his house has opened a big barbecue restaurant opposite. It's almost finished renovation. I want to find a chef. Ask me what you do. Ask me if you want to do it?"

I asked: "Their barbecue restaurant still employs chefs, isn't it all cold noodles and mixed vegetables?"

The eldest sister said: "This time his family opened a restaurant, and there are customers ordering stir-fried dishes, so I want to find a chef."

I said, "Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow to see if it works."

The eldest sister said: "You are allowed to do it, then I will tell people to come over tomorrow."

I said, "OK, I'll be there tomorrow."

I want to find a bigger Chinese restaurant to work in, I want to continue my studies, and I don't want to go to a small restaurant to cook.But then I thought about it, I still need to have a job first, now I am not alone, but living with two people, and renting a house, I can’t do without earning money.

Plans never change fast.

I went over the next day.

Before I left the Rose Hotel, I knew that Yangchun Cold Noodles was renovating a barbecue restaurant across the street. At that time, I never thought that their family would use a chef, so I didn't pay much attention to it.Besides, I never thought that Huang Ping would rent out the restaurant and she would be laid off.

Come to the kebab shop to meet the boss.I have known the boss for a long time. The boss is an old couple, both from the Xian nationality. The old man's surname is Cui, and the old lady's surname is Jin.

Entering the newly renovated barbecue restaurant, the inside is very big, nearly two-thirds the size of the Rose Hotel, and it is the largest barbecue restaurant on Taishan Road.
shop.The decoration is very characteristic, and it can be seen that it has been specially designed.

I asked the old lady: "Auntie, who designed this? It's really good."

The old lady said with a proud tone: "It's very good. My son designed it. He studied in Korea and studied design."

I stuck out my thumb and said, "Amazing, really amazing!"

After reading the front hall, I entered the kitchen.Most of the kitchen is designed according to the design of cold noodle barbecue restaurant. The place for cooking is small, and it is enough for one person to cook.The kitchen is very clean on the whole, and the equipment is new, especially the stove, which is a stainless steel stove. It was the first time I used a stainless steel stove. I have only seen it before, but I have never used it.At that time, I thought, I have to do it just for this stainless steel stove, and I have to use the stainless steel stove for anything.

Since it has not opened yet, there are not many people in the kitchen, just a few people.

I came out of the kitchen and sat down at a table in the front hall. The old lady asked me, "How about Xiao Tan, do you want to do it?"

I said: "Since my aunt is looking for me, what are you talking about, just do it."

The old lady said: "Then you come to work tomorrow, get ready to prepare, and pull out a menu. You don't need too many dishes. There are thirty dishes. Our family mainly uses barbecue, and we eat a lot of mixed vegetables. We can't order a few in a day." Stir-fry."

I said, "Okay, I'll go back and pull out the menu, and I'll show you tomorrow."

The old lady said: "Okay, you are the only one who cooks. If you are busy, someone will help you. If you don't have side dishes, the side dishes are all your own business. You can do it."

I smiled and asked, "Is there no side dish?"

The old lady said: "No, you are alone, our family is not busy cooking."

To be honest, when I heard that there were no side dishes, I wanted to quit, but I still agreed after thinking about the stainless steel stove.The salary given by the old lady is not low, one thousand and five a month is fine.

It never occurred to me that my first job as a cooking chef would be a Korean barbecue restaurant, and it is enough to think about it.Later, I told many people that I started as a chef in a Korean barbecue restaurant, but few of them believed it. I will lie to them in the future.

I went back and told Lin Yan that I was going to go to the barbecue shop to cook. Lin Yan looked at me and said, "It's okay, you can do it. You can fry the vegetables well there, so you can practice your skills."

I said helplessly: "Go ahead, I hope I can persevere, I really don't want to go to a barbecue restaurant to cook."

Lin Yan said: "Do you know that if you want to achieve great things, you must first toil your muscles and bones and starve your body——"

I quickly interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, wife, husband knows."

The kitchen of the barbecue restaurant is roughly like this. The innermost part is the vegetable processing room, next to the vegetable processing room is the cold noodle processing room, and then my hot food processing room, and then, near the front desk is the food delivery port, which is quite Yu Chuancai Department.There are two people in the whole kitchen who mix vegetables, one person who makes cold noodles, one person who pays the meat, and the rest is me.

In the Chinese kitchen, the chef is in charge of the kitchen. In the barbecue restaurant, the chef is in charge of the kitchen. It is a big sister who mixes vegetables. Her surname is Wang, and she is from the Xian nationality. At that time, I was curious. , I’ve never heard of anyone with the surname Wang.The elder sister surnamed Wang is over 40 years old. She said that she worked in Korea before, and now she comes back to work in China. She mixes vegetables very well and knows Korean cooking.The other person who mixed the vegetables was a 30-year-old woman whose surname was Ma, who was also from the Xian nationality. It was the first time I heard that the Xian nationality also had a surname Ma.I call them Sister Wang and Sister Ma. Sister Wang is the head of the kitchen, a bit serious, not tall, very thin, maybe because she has been abroad, she is very good at makeup, she doesn’t look like a 40-year-old, only 35-[-] , very delicate.Sister Ma is a native of the provincial capital, and her family lives on Taishan Road. She is divorced and lives alone.

The master who cooks the cold noodles is the old man's younger sister, who is nearly 50 years old, a little fat, chubby, with a baby face, and doesn't look like a person who is nearly 41 years old, only 30 or [-].The person who pays the dishes is a [-]-year-old woman, surnamed Jin, from the Xian nationality. She is tall and very beautiful. She wears the costumes of the famous ethnic group of the Xian nationality and pays the goods at the Fucaikou, which is very attractive to customers.

The whole kitchen is full of women, and I'm the only man. To be honest, it feels very awkward.And they are all from the Korean nationality. They all speak the Korean language, and I can't understand a word.But there is one advantage, that is, women of the Xian nationality love to dress up, and they wear very delicate outfits at work, and they look very beautiful.But in terms of beauty, there is no doubt about it. The big sisters in the kitchen are all good-looking and seductive.

Most of the waiters at the front desk are Korean. It seems that there are two of them who are Han. It is estimated that they are prepared for Han guests.

There is also a special person in the barbecue restaurant, a woman named Cui, who is in charge of cutting and feeding the meat.She doesn't work in the store, but operates at the boss's house. She has worked with the boss for many years. She is the boss's goddaughter. She will come to the store to help when she is free. It seems that the head of the kitchen is a little afraid of her.

My job is just me, thirty dishes.I prepare myself to do it myself, even kicking and hitting all martial arts is enough for me to be busy.

The [-] dishes I drew are very simple. Except for a few dishes that ordinary people like to eat and often order, the rest are based on what ingredients are in the side dish, and the dishes are written according to those ingredients. I didn't serve the dish when I was at the Rose Restaurant, but I did it when I was free. At that time, I regarded it as a study and experiment, but I didn't expect it to be used here.For example: fried yuba with fungus, stir-fried wolfberry shreds, cod fish tofu in miso pot, pollack shredded fried spicy cabbage, etc.At that time, there were Korean-style mixed dishes in Rose Restaurant, such as Goubao, pollack, spicy cabbage, yuba, cod, these are the ingredients for Korean-style mixed dishes. I studied the ingredients for the dishes, and they were delicious to eat, but I didn’t serve these dishes in the Rose Restaurant, because the Rose Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant after all, and there are still many customers who eat Chinese food.

I also served two pickles, one with sauced pig's feet and the other with sauced pig's ears.At the beginning, I prepared to just write it on the menu. Later, I saw that there was a place at the food delivery port, so I consulted with the old lady, and put the pickles at the food delivery port. Customers can see it directly, and the sales will be better.The old lady thought it was very good, so she agreed.
