The story of a cook

Chapter 513 Master Du Drinks

The old man's words sounded the alarm for me.

As expected of someone who has been an official for a long time, he sees problems very thoroughly and gets to the point.In terms of how things are handled, I still lack cultivation and are not proper enough.The old man didn't agree with the self-assessment he said at first, but after listening to him, he felt that it was indeed the case.But I really didn't expect this at the time, it was like going to fight without thinking after receiving Li Yan's call - I was thinking about Bao Peng and the others so they must not be beaten, I didn't expect to call the police and the old man, I thought I can solve it myself.

Nothing happened that day. If something happened, it would be over, and I couldn't bear the responsibility.

It's still a short practice.

You must pay attention to the woman thing that the old man mentioned last, this is not a joke, you must control the things in your crotch, and don't make any mistakes.As the saying goes, "One misstep will cause eternal hatred". Losing your job is a small matter, but losing your reputation is a big matter.

Ma Shuli has reminded me several times, but she didn't take it seriously, thinking that as long as she doesn't mess around with women and doesn't have sex, it's fine. Now it seems that she should stay away from women and keep herself clean.

On the third day after the old man's interview, Master Du was transferred to Coarse Grain as the chief chef.

Li Xingtang and Wei Chef stopped working together.

Wang Yaxin was the kitchen supervisor, and later Master Li Haicai took over the position of Master Du, cooking on the stove.

Many people did not expect this personnel change, and the one who did not expect it most should be Mr. Guo, who is from Coarse Grain.He thought that he could be the head chef after Wei Chef resigned, but he didn't expect that not only did he not become the head chef, but also the position of sous chef was cancelled, and he became a chef.He resigned in a fit of anger, and it happened that there was no shortage of chefs, so the old man approved it directly, and he returned to the provincial capital.

After Master Du arrived in Coarse Grain, he approved the resignation of the dormitory manager's lover, and was directly transferred to the old store.

At the same time, Master Du went to Coarse Grain to announce the culinary competition. The chefs of the two shops competed together, and the date of the competition was postponed to early July.

Received 3000 yuan from the finance department and handed it over to Mr. Wang, who was responsible for buying prizes and certificates, as well as making score cards and competition banners.Now chefs from two restaurants are participating, and the number of people has doubled.The three of us, Mr. Wang and Manager Chen, sat down to study carefully and perfected some details. Later, we also called Zhou Xiaomei. She was the moderator that day, and some details required her to participate.The four of us studied for an hour, determined the entire culinary competition process, made a detailed division of labor, performed their duties, and strived to do a good job in this competition.

On the fifth day when Master Du was transferred to coarse grains, he came to me for dinner after get off work.He meant to go to Hongfu, I said goodbye, and went to my hut for a bite, still silent.He packed two dishes, and I packed two dumplings. The two of us sat in the dormitory and chatted while drinking.

"Coarse grains are quite messy, and everything has to be reorganized from scratch." He said.

Knowing that he would say these things, he asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Transfer Cao Ligui and Master Li to me, I am in urgent need of help," he said.

I said, "It's okay to transfer them, will the old man agree?"

"I talked to the old man, and he said to discuss it with you." He said.

I know what the old man means, he has set up these two people, and said that discussing with me is just to give me face.He said that he would separate the people I was looking for, and now he has started to act.I also meant to release Cao Ligui and them. It’s fine to always work under my hands, but it also hinders their development.

Sometimes I really care about them too much.

I asked, "What did the two of them do in the past?"

Master Du said: "Master Li is still in charge of Northeast cuisine. He is now good at cooking and responsible. After that, he will bring those cooks who bring coarse grains. Cao Ligui used to be the boss of the cutting board and helped me straighten out the cutting board. .”

"What about their wages?" I asked.

"Master Li will increase by two hundred, and Cao Ligui will increase by one hundred."

"Master Li's increase is [-] lines, and Cao Ligui's increase of [-] is a bit small. The cutting board is very important. Cao Ligui has not thrown away his work. In our house, he sees my face. He can't go anytime soon," I said.

"Then how much do you want to raise?" Master Du asked, "I don't have the right to raise too much."

"You just transferred to be the head chef, and the old man won't say anything about giving the employees more wages." I said, "Cao Ligui has been transferred, and I can't transfer back. He has to work with you all the time. A good cutting board The boss is more effective than the pot. He is the big steward of the kitchen. He is in charge of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. You know, who else can be the boss of the chopping board in our old kitchen besides Cao Ligui? I feel half ashamed when you leave It’s like a door, and I’m even more in need if I transfer him away. There’s no way, you’ve just arrived in Coarse Grain, and your work is not easy to carry out, so I’ll help as much as I can. Let me tell you, Lao Du, what do you think when we become the head chef? It’s like, if we don’t have the help of these brothers under our hands, we are nothing, and we can’t treat our brothers badly at any time, and sometimes we would rather work than not to protect our brothers, this is morality.” I said.

"I know Lao Tan, he raised Cao Ligui by three hundred." He said.

I nod.Cao Ligui has been here for more than a year, and his job is really good. I feel sad to transfer him to coarse grain, but it is also a good thing to be able to increase his salary through transfer.I'm short of hands when he's gone, but fortunately, the kitchen is stable, so I can promote Yu Wenxue to be the boss of the chopping board, and train him by the way.Master Li was also a little bit reluctant to be transferred, the two brothers have been here for a long time, and the relationship is very good.But Master Du lacks helpers. It is also a good thing that Master Li was able to help gather Northeast cuisine in the past.He has a good relationship with Master Du, and he can use his abilities after the past.

"Old Du, you are more cautious and more stable than me. Don't worry about getting results. First, stabilize the kitchen and lay the foundation." I said, "You understand how the Wuchang management is adjusted. If it can be rectified, first implement the Wuchang management. Make the kitchen feel different, and then focus on the dishes. Remember, no matter how good the kitchen is, it is an auxiliary function. The most important thing is the dishes. You must put the quality of the dishes first. That's what a chef should do."

He nodded and said, "I know that. I have learned a lot from you this year, and I know everything. Without you, I wouldn't be able to be transferred to Coarse Grain as the head chef."

I said, "You did well on your own, it has nothing to do with me."

We both had a drink.He has a small capacity for alcohol and can't drink much, and his face turns red after half a glass of white wine.

"I wish I could drink as much as you, but I envy you who can drink." He said.

"There is nothing to envy. I still envy you for not drinking." I said, "Drinking is not good. After drinking, you will talk big, make mistakes, and be impulsive. If you can stop drinking, it is good for your health."

"If you don't drink, you don't dare to come forward on some occasions, and you can't even talk together." He said with a little regret.

"It's all about drinking, there's nothing to talk about. After drinking, I forget everything. It's nothing but a waste of money. If you don't, you'll take advantage of women. Use the alcohol to make some relationships. Okay, I might ruin my reputation, so I have to try." I said.

"Old Tan, you see clearly."

"There's nothing impenetrable, that's how it is. If drinking can solve the problem, we won't have a meeting." Instead, he said: "If drinking with good buddies is okay, we can chat together, sometimes they just don't chat at all. It’s also fun, but there are not many good buddies in my life, two or three are too many, when something happens, a good buddy will know what to do with a look, and he will get things done for you before you say anything. That's buddy, good buddy," I said.

"That's not right, how can a person not have a few buddies in this life, your old Tan is a good buddy, come, have a drink."

Picking up the wine glasses, the two touched each other and took a big sip each.

Someone knocked on the door, and it was Wang Hong who came in.

"The two leaders are drinking together." She smiled.

"It just so happens that you're here, let's have a drink with Lao Tan. I can't drink enough, so I can't drink him." Master Du said.

Wang Hong said: "It's a big man who can't drink alcohol. It's really embarrassing to Tie Ling."

Master Du smiled and said: "I can't drink it, you can drink it, aren't you also a Tie Ling person?"

Wang Hong sat down and poured herself a glass.

She is so familiar.

"Come on, I'll have a drink with the two leaders."

Master Du said: "You can drink with Lao Tan, I can't do it."

"That's okay? You can't leave one person in a group. If you can't drink less, what does it mean to take a sip? Why, you don't want to drink with me? Is it affecting you? Are you not welcome?" Wang Hong's series of questions called Du The master couldn't bear it a little bit.

"Where did you say, I'll drink it." Master Du said.

"That's enough. We Tieling people would rather drink to death than be scared to death. The two of us together can't drink a beipiao."

"Drink, neither of us."

"If you don't drink, you can say no, you know? The old man can't say no."

"You--"

Master Du was speechless, but the sharp-tongued Wang Hong took a sip first.

Seeing that Master Du had drunk it, Wang Hong said, "Look at your good performance, let's not talk about you." After finishing speaking, he also took a sip, and then said to Master Du: "My fellow, do you know why you dare to talk to you like this? Now you Don't care about me anymore, we are fellow villagers, so you are not angry?"

Master Du said: "Then why are you angry? Besides, it's not working time. After get off work, they are all sisters and brothers. Didn't Lao Tan say it? There are rules when going to work, and there are no big or small after get off work. It should be like this."

"Then don't dare to talk nonsense. Who knows which sentence is wrong and offends others. When I wear a pair of small shoes when I go to work, I don't know why I died. What do you think, Tan-Chu?" She smiled. , Tan Chu said every word in two words.

Knowing that she was talking to me, she smiled and asked her, "Where's your husband?"

"Go back to Tieling, with the old man." She said.

"The old man built a factory in Tieling, and it will start soon." Master Du said.

I didn't know about it, so I asked, "What factory?"

"In the corn deep processing factory, we have a lot of corn in Tieling. It used to be a major grain-producing county, and it is still the same now. Was the old man the old leader of the grain bureau before? He has a strong relationship. He cooperated with South Koreans, which is quite big." Master Du said.

"Have courage, I admire the old man." I said.

When Wang Hong joined, Master Du got drunk faster, and after a while he said he couldn't drink and went back to sleep.

After Master Du left, Wang Hong and I were left, and I told her that I couldn't drink much, and she said that if I couldn't drink, I had to wait for her to finish a glass of wine.

If the old man hadn't told me about women, he wouldn't have paid much attention to it. He thought it was okay to drink with women, but now he thinks it's okay, but it's not very good. After all, there are too many people talking.

I said seriously: "Sister Wang, your husband is not at home, try not to go out for a drink."

"What's wrong? Can't you go out and drink?" She asked, and then said: "I know what you think, I'm afraid it will affect you."

I said, "I'm not afraid of the repercussions, I just feel bad."

"It's not good because I'm afraid of influence and other people's gossip. I know, you are the chef, you have to have an image, and you can't mess with men and women." She looked at me and said, "Don't worry, I won't have sex with you, look To scare you, don't think of me as a woman, but as a man, I am not your sister, but your brother, we two buddies."

I said: "Okay, we two buddies." Then said: "You don't understand what I mean, your husband is not at home, and you come to my house to drink in the middle of the night, even if no one else says anything, when the time comes, your husband and you Don't fight? Even if you don't fight, you have to think about it, it won't happen."

"It's okay if you want to say that." She said, "Don't worry about this, he doesn't dare to fight with me, he is holding the handle in my hand."

I said, "Why, you're still threatening people."

"Give me some cigarettes, and I'll give you a chat."

Handing over a cigarette, she lit it and smoked it.

"He and I are our first spouse, we belong to free love. I didn't intend to marry him. I just felt that he was a stable person and could drive. At that time, drivers were very popular. I didn't hear anyone say, 'holding a piece of iron, you can go anywhere. Guest (qie)'."

"He and I both work in the food department. He drives for the leader. He's okay, and he can't survive without starvation. In the third year after having a child, the food department started to be laid off. I was laid off first. At that time, he didn't. Driving. I was laid off and didn’t have a job to take care of my children at home. They didn’t have laid-off cows. They had wages. My children and I had to be supported by others. Looking for a young lady, and renting a house with her."

"Then what can I do? What kind of temper do I have? Can I spare him? I don't earn money at home, but I'm not idle either. I wash, cook and take care of the children. Looking for a lady outside, it’s his fate if he doesn’t kill him. I won’t tell you what the trouble is, anyway, it’s quite loud and earth-shattering. Divorce after the trouble is over, and I won’t be with him at all. The child belongs to me, and he cleans up Go out."

"This divorce is even more awesome. No one cares about it. He just lived with her lady. When I'm done, the divorce is very happy, so I think about not having a relationship with him. The sooner I leave, the better. I'm dumbfounded, I don't even have a job, what do I eat and drink? How do I feed my children?"

She took a sip of wine.
