The story of a cook

Chapter 316
On the eighth day of the lunar new year, all the kitchen brothers arrived at their posts and began to prepare for the opening of the next day.

Master Hou and Master Wang came here on the seventh day of the first day, and it seems that they still have a lot of affection for the villa.

All the people at the front desk also came, and everyone went to work after celebrating the reunion year at home, and they were all very happy.

This is the case for catering. If the restaurant is open during the Chinese New Year, no one can go home, so they have to spend the New Year in the restaurant.It is very hard to go home and reunite with your family after the busy Spring Festival.

After working in catering, except for the first few years when I went home to spend with my mother, I seldom went home to celebrate the New Year. It’s not that I don’t want to go back, but I can’t go back.

Chefs in the catering industry have an extravagant wish. If they can go home for the New Year, that is the happiest thing.

Catering people are very tiring, as anyone who has done catering knows.

In fact, everything is tiring.

The reason why I don't feel tired is because I like it.

The greatest joy of a person is to do what one likes. The greatest tragedy in life is to spend a lifetime doing things that one does not like, and end up with nothing.

Because of liking, there will be love, because of love, there will be professionalism, only professionalism will become an expert, and only professionalism will lead to achievement and success.

What is success?It is to do what you like to do and get the result, that is success.

Some people say that persistence leads to success, but persistence does not necessarily lead to success. Success requires persistence, and more importantly, the help of others and your own efforts. These three things are indispensable.

Now is no longer the era when one person can conquer the world alone. It requires the cooperation and joint efforts of the team to conquer the world.

Walking in the vast desert, if you are alone, you may not be able to get out of the desert, and you will die of exhaustion in it.If it is a team, the team will help and support each other, and they will be able to get out of the desert and reach the oasis;
In the endless virgin forest, a person will lose his way, and a team will walk out of the forest.

Take the catering industry as an example. In the past, a chef and his apprentices could start a restaurant, but now it is different. A cook cannot start a restaurant. A team is needed to start a restaurant.

Master Hou finished the preparations and came over to me and asked, "Master Tan, do you have time tonight?"

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"It's nothing else to have a meal together."

As soon as she heard about eating, she immediately felt dizzy. Just after eating with Zhang Li and Li Shuang, Lin Yan gave an ultimatum, and she really didn't want to break the precept again.

I asked, "Who is there?"

"No one else, just you and me, plus Master Wang, Master Xu, and the second child, the five of us."

"What do you mean by eating?" I asked.

"It's not interesting, isn't it the new year? We have to get together anyway." Master Hou said, what he said was reasonable.

Master Xu also came over and said that he wanted to get together at night. He said that after the opening, he would run out of time and started to be busy every day.

"Okay, Juju, you can choose a place, and just let me know when the time comes."

It's Chinese New Year, and it's good for everyone to get together. The official business will start tomorrow, and it's okay to chat with a few bosses in advance.

But when you get together, you have to drink. Everyone knows that I drink, and it's not good if I don't drink.

Lin Yan doesn't ask me to drink, wants to have children——
Drinking is my favorite again.

She still likes to drink a little wine, as long as Lin Yan doesn't find out, she said that she wants to have a baby next year, and she still has time to drink, so she found a plausible reason for herself.

Zhang Li at the front desk called me, saying that the health wine was almost gone, and she was going to buy more.Mr. Wang was very angry with the headquarters because of the closure of the fire department, and he didn't want to buy the health wine at the headquarters, but most of the customers liked to drink the health wine, so they asked me what to do.

I said: "How about this, I will prescribe some medicinal materials for making wine, and let's make it ourselves."

Zhang Li asked suspiciously: "Do you know how to make wine?"

"Understood." I nodded.

"Don't be too ignorant, what if you don't drink well and are bad people?" Zhang Li asked worriedly.

"It's not bad to drink, and my brew is not necessarily worse than the headquarters." I said, "What's wrong? Don't believe me?"

Zhang Li said: "It's not that I don't believe it, the main thing is that you can really make wine? I haven't heard you say that you can make wine."

She still doesn't believe I can make wine.

I said: "Just know a little bit, it's okay to drink the wine we sell now."

Zhang Li looked at me like a rare animal and asked, "Old Tan, what else do you know?"

"From a man's point of view, having children won't do it."

"cut!"

"I'm starting to have an interest and admiration for you again."

She looks like a nympho.

I said, "You can study me, but you can't love me, it hurts, silly girl."

Zhang Li looked at me with tender eyes, and said, "Old Tan, your silly girl's words have melted my heart—"

I looked at her, smiled, turned and left.

I told Mr. Wang that I want to make wine by myself, and Mr. Wang was very happy, and immediately took the money and asked me to go to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials for making wine.After taking the money and preparing to go to the pharmacy, Zhang Li also went with her. The pharmacy was not far away, so she was asked to go with her.

Coming out of the villa, Zhang Li said: "Old Tan, I found that you are getting better and better, it seems that you can't do it without you."

I said, "Don't talk nonsense, you just came out for a stroll by using the introduction of coming out with me to buy medicinal materials, and you don't know your little thoughts."

"whee"

"People are too smart to have no friends, do you know that?" she said.

I said, "I'm not smart, and you're not my friend."

"That's right, we are iron sons."

"Why don't we both do what Tie Zi should do today."

I looked at her with a smile.

"Let's do it, whoever doesn't do it will be his grandson."

"Grandma, you are impatient."

"If you know you, you don't have the guts to talk about it. I don't know you yet." He curled his lips and said.

I smile.

Zhang Li asked: "I heard that your kitchen is going out for dinner tonight?"

"You're well-informed."

"What Li Shuang said, it's Sister Shuang, I don't know anything."

"What, what do you think?"

"Bring me one, and I will participate."

If she can ask about this, she wants to participate. I have already seen it.

I said, "I can't say that. Master Hou made a fuss about it. You have to ask him."

"I asked him what he was doing, and you just said you don't want to take me with you, and you still ask him? Cut!"

"Whoever makes a fuss has the final say, don't ask him who to ask."

I went to the pharmacy to buy the medicinal materials needed for making wine.

Making wine is not a problem for me. I learned it from the "grandfather" when I was at home, and discussed it with Mr. Wang when I went to Laohan Mountain Villa. The health wine sold now can be easily prepared.This is the case with everything. It is not difficult for those who meet it, but it is good for you to learn more.When I was at home, I accidentally became friends with the "Old Man", and I learned how to prepare the old man's health wine. I didn't expect to use it now, so I am very happy.

To make medicinal wine, you need to know the pharmacological properties of the medicinal materials, and you can make wine only when you know the ruler, minister and envoy.We have never studied Chinese medicine, it is the prescription left by the "grandfather" back then, remember, take the medicine according to the prescription.I don’t know if it works or not, but to be honest, I haven’t drunk it much.Because the "old man" said at the beginning that any brewing wine may not really have an effect, but it just removes some of the spicy taste of the baijiu and makes it easier to drink.But the "Donkey Whip Wine", "Bull Whip Wine" and "Horse Whip Wine" made by the old man are really effective. I was young at that time and had never drank it, but I knew that the village chief always drank it and agreed.

I drank the health-preserving wine made by Waiting for Wang Lao, and it tasted very good. After drinking it for a couple of ounces, I felt a little hot all over, and felt very smooth.

In fact, drinking white wine also has this effect, but after soaking with some medicinal materials, the alcohol content is reduced, the spicy taste is gone, and it tastes good, so I feel very good.

It is impossible to say whether wine is good for health or not. I love drinking and think that wine is just a fun thing and has nothing to do with health preservation.On the contrary, drinking too much can damage the body.

Health preservation should start with nourishing the heart, and the best health preservation is useless if the heart is not well nourished.This is the same as when a person has a disease. Two people with the same physique and the same disease may be able to recover without taking medicine if they have a good mentality, and they will not be cured if they have a bad mentality.Take cancer as an example. Some people became anti-cancer heroes. Some people became afraid after hearing that they had cancer.

It's not that cancer has to die, it's that when one's heart dies, one has to die.

Doctors don't kill people!
