The story of a cook

Chapter 16 Ending Shengmei
No one knows which one will come first, the surprise or the accident. It does not depend on the individual's will, it has its own character, and it comes when it is said.

When Master Chen was about to go to his master, the hotel's contract period came.

At first the boss signed a one-year contract, but now that the contract has expired, the factory leaders asked the boss if he would continue to work, and the boss said no.The reason for quitting is simple. The hotel is an in-factory hotel, and most of the consumption comes from the factory. The branch factories and workshops in the factory keep accounts when they come to eat, and they don’t see much cash every month.

It is very difficult for the boss to go to the factory with an IOU to ask for the account. Usually, it is not until the end of the year to pay.The boss has made money after working for a year, but they are all white bills, and he has not earned cash.If he wanted to turn the IOUs in his hand into cash, it would take at least a year and a half, so he quit.

I don't have to feel guilty about not being able to be laid off with Master Chen. Well, now, all the employees are laid off as a whole.

When I was laid off last year, I felt flustered, fearing that I would not find a job or a place to live.Now that I am laid off, I don't have to panic, because I can find a job with my skills, and I don't have to work hard anymore. It is easier to find a job.

Master Chen reported to his master. Before he left, he told me not to rush to the labor market to find a job. In the past few days, he contacted me with a job and told me not to worry.It was also a coincidence that a friend of his had just taken over an internal restaurant in Tiexi, and there was a lack of a water case, and the salary was not low, 500 yuan per month, so Master Chen asked me to go and do it.

I am going to work in Tiexi, Li Jianhan is going home, Li Haina and Zhou Lan are also going home.

When Li Jianhan was leaving, he told him that if he liked Yao Liying, he would go to her house to have a look, whether he made it or not, he said let's see, maybe he might go or not.I hope he and Yao Liying can succeed. After all, Yao Liying was recruited by me from the labor market and has feelings.

In a blink of an eye, I was the only employee left in the entire hotel. I finished inventorying the kitchen and front desk with the boss, and went back to the dormitory alone.

I went back to the dormitory to pack up my things, and after living here for a year, I developed feelings for him. I was a little bit reluctant to think of leaving the next day.

Back in the dormitory, four or five young men played poker, chatted, and talked about women happily. Now I’m the only one left, and I’m going to go to another place. I’m really full of emotions.

Migrant workers are like this. They work here today and go to another place tomorrow.I wonder when I will have my own home, a place to settle down, and stop being so wandering.

Being homeless doesn't feel good.

I also want to go home to see my mother. I just went back to go on a blind date for more than two months. I don’t want to waste money. It takes a lot of money to go home. Now I have no money, so I have to save money, and I have to pay off foreign debts, and I have to save money to call my daughter-in-law , I really dare not waste money.

After much deliberation, it is still a matter of strength.Now that there is no strength, some problems cannot be solved.You have to slowly make yourself stronger, have strength, and only with strength can you achieve your goals one by one.Now I am still very weak, I need to keep learning and tempering, and I will sharpen myself in the process of moving forward, and I will gradually become stronger and own a world.

Li Haina and Zhou Lan came while packing up.Seeing me packing things, Li Haina came to help me clean up, and I said to do it myself, but she said that you guys are not professional in this job, so let me do it.

There wasn't much stuff at first, but it was packed in a few minutes.To tell you the truth, women work better than men and stand at attention. Everything is neatly folded and looks comfortable.

She zipped up her backpack and said to me: Your toothbrush is useless, I will go to the mall to buy a new one for you in a while, and I will also buy a piece of soap and a towel. Look at your towel, it is all hairless .

I said, "No, I'll buy it myself when the time comes."

Zhou Lan said: "It's okay anyway, today, let's go together later."

"Are you all done?" I asked.

"After packing up, I sent them to my godmother's house." Li Haina said.

"Do you still have a godmother?" I asked.

"Yes, I met when I was working at the Yellow River Hotel the year before last. She was very kind to me. She has no children, so I recognized her as my godmother." She said.

I said, "Really, I never heard you say that."

"You never asked me." She complained.

"I seldom inquire, and I don't pay much attention to women," I said.

She said sourly: "Just pay attention to your fellow countryman, he is beautiful, we can't compare."

"Hina, you are jealous." Zhou Lan said.

"How dare you, I'm that onion or garlic, I'm not qualified to be jealous." Li Haina said, her face full of resentment, she is quite cute at this moment.

Li Yanhua hadn't been here since the last time, nor had she made a phone call, so she probably moved to the city.These two months have been waiting for her, looking forward to her arrival, but I haven't seen her until now.I don't know if she is selling clothes in a mall or going to a beauty parlor to learn cosmetology.If you sell clothes in a shopping mall, you can find it, but if you go to a beauty salon, you can't find it at all.

Just lost this fellow ---
If she came back to look for me after I left and saw that the hotel was closed and couldn't see me, would she be as sad as I was?

Is this the reality of beating workers?

Meet and meet in the vast crowd, become friends, become confidantes, and finally disappear in the vast crowd——
There was an inexplicable sadness and helplessness in my heart, and there was a bitter taste in my mouth.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Li Haina pulled me out of the state of trance: "I'm talking to you."

"I didn't think about it, what did you just say?" I said, a little embarrassed.

"I haven't thought about anything yet, I don't even know what I said, you still think about other things when I am a big living person in front of you."

Zhou Lan smiled and said, "He's thinking about women."

"You still dare to think about women when I'm here, am I not a woman?" Li Haina was angry.

I smiled and stood up, and said to them: "Let's go, eat, I'm hungry."

"You really don't care about me." Li Haina stood in front of her angrily.

"How come, are we not good now?"

"No, I'm not feeling well."

When he came out of the dormitory, he was dragged by Li Haina to the shopping mall, where he bought toothbrushes, soap, towels, a T-shirt, and a pair of sneakers.The money was paid by Li Haina, she said that she might not be able to see her in the future, so I will keep it in mind.When she finished saying the word "Nianxiang", I felt the sadness in her heart.

I said we will meet again and work together.She said she thought so too.

That was the end of my first hotel job after embarking on the path of being a chef.

I have worked in Shengmei for nearly a year, and I have worked here from a odd job to a water table, and from a water table to a cold dish.For a beginner, the speed is not slow, even a little fast.This year, I arrived at the store at 07:30 almost every day, and then started a day's work.I rarely leave the kitchen and spend most of my time practicing.

I used other people's dating time to practice knife skills and learn about dishes, so I haven't been dating for a year.After careful calculation, being alone with the woman is Li Yanhua and Yingzi, no one else.Now that they have lost contact with each other, they can only look forward to seeing each other again.

I met a lot of friends here, including Master Chen, Li Jianhan, Xiao Wu, Xiao Ma, Zheng Li, Yao Liying, Zhou Lan, Li Haina, Chef Tie, etc. We all get along well and are friends.

The biggest achievement is getting to know Master Chen. He is a good man and has helped me a lot. He took me to the trade union building twice, and not only gained a lot of knowledge, but also learned a lot.I am very grateful to him, it was he who put me in the position of the water table, taught me knife skills, and then put me in the position of cold dishes, so that I know what is the basic seasoning.

On the road of being a chef, he is my first teacher.

Our two tempers are very similar, and our personalities are almost the same. We always drink and discuss food together, and we are real drinking friends.His attitude in doing things and his style of dealing with people have infected me and guided me, saving me from many detours in my future work.

The boss and the proprietress didn't tell me, they just didn't do it, and if I did, I would continue to do it.

This is the first hotel I worked in. When I first came here, it felt very big. The lobby is spacious, there is a stage, there are private rooms, and the kitchen is bigger than a ramen restaurant. I thought it was a big hotel.A year later, I have seen a lot, and I have a better understanding of the hotel. I know that this is not a big hotel.

When one’s eyes are opened, the things he sees are different, just like the biggest city he went to before coming to the provincial capital was Beipiao. At that time, he thought that Beipiao was very big. Small, not even as big as a district in the provincial capital.Knowing that there are many big hotels outside Shengmei, and their dishes are more than Shengmei, I need to learn more.Now I am at best a primary school student just getting started, and I have a long way to go.

When I left Shengmei, I didn't know if I would come back, and if these friends I knew would meet again.

There is sentimentality in my heart, and I have a longing for a new job.

I don't know what kind of new hotel Master Chen introduced, whether I will meet such good people as here, and I don't know if the work there is good or not, and whether I can do it myself.When Master Chen left, he said that he would work there first, if it was good, he would work there, if it was not good, he would come down, and he would find work for me.

It is lucky to know Master Chen, and I am very grateful to him.

People who work outside are like this. They don't know where their next job will be, and they don't know what will happen in the future. They just move forward firmly in the direction of their hearts and keep working hard.
