The story of a cook

Chapter 543 Fighting in the Kitchen
Life always gives people experience, and in the experience, we can taste the ups and downs, joys and sorrows.

When you embrace life with open arms, it will reward you.

Hatred and complaining will never work, because no one listens to your complaints, and even if someone doesn't want to listen to them, just like you don't want to listen to other people's complaints.

On the second day after the cooking competition ended, the old man called and said that Wang Yaxin was not needed, and asked Jiang Yajun's husband to come over.As for who he decides to use, I am quite happy not to use Wang Yaxin. He is almost done now. I am not in the kitchen and he can handle some things, so I feel relieved.

Jiang Yajun's husband, surnamed Wang, is 50 years old, in good health, of medium build, with a red face, and looks like a loyal and reliable person.

When I arrived at the new store, I went to the kitchen first and said hello to Li Shuangliang. Lao Zhao saw me and asked me what I was doing. I told the old man about the smoked pickles. .I told him that I would stay here for a month, and he was very happy, saying that we would drink together at night.

Now that you're here, let's get to work.

First, check the equipment and facilities. They are all easy to use. When the cold dishes open, you should want to serve smoked pickles. There are smoke pots and grates. Find out and ask Lao Wang and stew brother Lao Qiao to clean them up.Li Shuangliang found two large old soup buckets from the warehouse, and asked Lao Wang to wash them.Then I called the old aunt and asked her to arrange to buy [-] catties of big bones and a bag of chicken racks, and prepare to hang the old soup.

Since you are working in a hot processing room for cold dishes, you must first get acquainted with cold dishes.

There are eight people in Xindian cold dishes. The boss is surnamed Hu, in his 30s, and a local.He didn't participate in the culinary competition, his apprentice was sent instead.

The open stall for cold dishes has a large space, the stall is long, and there are four chefs with four younger brothers.Two chefs are in charge of seafood cold dishes, while Meng Hongwei and another chef are in charge of northeast cold dishes.The cold dish stall is next to the stew stall, and now the stew is a woman in her 30s, with a good image, who is only in charge of sales, and the kitchen master comes down to stew dishes every day.I asked Brother Qiao, who used to be a chef in charge of stews, and he said that they used to be stewed by the master, and he sold them there.

The kitchen is like this, you can develop any habit, and it is difficult to change it after you develop it. Those who are officials don’t want to change, they find it troublesome, and those who work don’t want to change, and they don’t want to work more.It stands to reason that one person should be responsible for the four large pots of stew. From the preparation of raw materials to the production, one person can easily take it.But the kitchen is not under our control, we are only here to make smoked pickles, so we try to talk as little as possible.

Zhou Xiaomei knew I was coming and went to the first floor to see me.

"Uncle, have you been transferred here?" She asked happily.

I said, "No, come here and make the smoked pickles, and go back when you're done."

She was a little disappointed and said, "I thought you were transferred."

"Would you like me to transfer here?" I asked.

"of course."

After finishing speaking, he dragged me to the fish tank and said, "Uncle, you should pay attention to the boss of cold dishes, apprentice Li Shuangliang, he is a bad person, and his character is not good."

I glanced into the cold dish room and found that Master Hu was looking this way, looking at me, he immediately turned his head away.

"Did he offend you?" I asked Zhou Xiaomei.

"No, I came to see me twice and wanted to invite me to dinner, but I ignored him." She said.

"Is he single?" I asked.

"I don't know, I heard about the divorce."

"Then he has a crush on you."

"Okay, uncle, I don't need him to match me, don't blame me." Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and asked me carefully: "Do you like Sister Ma?"

Knowing what she wanted to say, she said directly: "I like it, everyone in the kitchen likes it, Sister Ma is a good person."

"Hmph, just cover it up, my aunt isn't here, you should pay attention, don't be far away from the emperor, if no one cares about you, just mess around."

"Impossible," I said.

"It's still impossible, why don't I wear a new down jacket?" After finishing speaking, he patted my shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't be late, old classmate."

I stared blankly at her.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Sister Ma, we both talk and talk about everything, don't you know?" She gave me a blank look.

I smile wryly.In her mind, she also knew about buying a down jacket for Sister Ma, and Sister Ma would not tell her about other things, such as hugging.

At noon, I bought the big bones and chicken skeletons, hung up the two buckets of old soup, and then led Lao Wang and Lao Qiao to the seasoning room to prepare the ingredients. They're done.

I had nothing to do on the first day, so I arranged the work well, told them to keep an eye on the old soup, and the fire must be turned off when it was hanging. On the second day, I was going to make barbecued pork, and opened the raw materials for the barbecued pork. I went back to the old shop after four o'clock. .

I didn't expect to run into a fight in the kitchen as soon as I came back.

There are two chopping boards from the seafood side. They are very good, and they work well. They just like to be idle, poking this one for a while, and poking that one for a while. There is no idle time.Children are all like this, and Bao Peng was like this at the beginning, but now he has changed a lot and looks like an adult.Today is not busy. Before the guests, the two chopping boards started to tease Xianglong after finishing the preparation work. Xianglong is a Mongolian child who cannot speak Chinese fluently.

At the beginning, Xianglong didn't pay much attention to it, but the three of them became anxious, maybe Xianglong didn't understand what he said, and thought he was scolding him, which suddenly aroused the bloodiness of the Mongolian people, and the three brothers started to do it .At the beginning, everyone thought the three of them were playing around, and no one paid attention to it. Only when the fight started did they realize that the matter was a bit serious, so they all went up to fight.

Fighting is like this, if there is no one next to them, the two of them will just chat in a few words, afraid that there will be people next to them, and they have to do it for the sake of face, afraid that others will look down on them and say that they are bears.The three brothers were like this, when they saw someone coming up to fight more fiercely, they all started to jump up, wanting to be young and Dangerous.Those who started the fight pulled hard, and those who fought fought hard, and the quarrel became more and more fierce, and no one would listen to it.

I went into the kitchen at this time, seeing this fierce scene, I immediately became angry, thinking that you guys started fighting all morning after leaving, if I wasn't there, why didn't the roof be raised?

"What are you doing!" I yelled.

The sound is really loud enough, the fights and fights are all agitated, don't tear it up, it's all up to me.

Come among them, look at Xianglong, he looks dissatisfied, panting heavily, staring at the two brothers with red eyes.The two brothers also had the same expression.

"There's nothing to do, isn't it?" I yelled.

No sound.

"Don't you want to fight? Come, fight with me!"

Look at Xianglong, the young man avoided me, turned around to look at the two brothers, the two brothers lowered their heads.

No bias, everyone kicks their buttocks.

He asked the three brothers sharply: "Do you know how to deal with fights?"

They all drooped their heads and said nothing.

"Fired immediately, do you understand? Talk!" The voice was so loud that the three brothers trembled in fright.

"I left the kitchen for half a day, and you started to work. You have grown up. It seems that the kitchen of Qinghua Pavilion is too small to call you! This is easy to handle. I won't talk nonsense with you, and I won't be angry with you. Follow the rules and give You have one minute to pack up and leave immediately, are you listening?" I said loudly.

The three brothers didn't say anything, just stood there with their heads down.

There were quite a few people standing beside them, but they didn't dare to make a sound, they stared at them and shouted, "Are you all right?"

"brush--"

These people are obedient, and they should do what they should do immediately.

The entire kitchen was silent, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

When one minute is up, he said in a deep voice to Xianglong: "You, go through the back door, right away." Then he said to the two brothers: "Both of you, go to the front door, move right away."

None of the three brothers moved.

I yelled, "Move!"

Seeing that I was really angry, Zhao Xiaojun came over and said, "Boss——"

"Shut up!" I yelled.

Zhao Xiaojun swallowed back what he wanted to say, and dragged Xianglong to the back door.Seeing that Xianglong was being dragged away from the back door, the two brothers walked out of the kitchen and walked to the front door dejectedly.None of the others spoke, just working silently.

At this time, the dishes are coming, and everyone starts to side dishes and stir-fry dishes.Every day at this time the kitchen is bustling with people shouting and drinking, today is good, no one squeaks, they are afraid of provoking me to bring about unwarranted disasters.

Half an hour later, there were people poking their heads at the mouth of Chuancai. It was the brothers from the chopping board, sneaking into the kitchen, afraid that I would find them, they were thieves.Pretend not to look at them and ignore them.

Zhao Xiaojun saw that there was no food behind him, he got down from the stove and walked to me, and said with a smile: "Boss, calm down."

He stared at him without saying a word.

"Look——" he pointed at the food delivery port and said, "I'm just sitting there, I know I made a mistake, and I'll give them another chance."

I said coldly, "Give me a reason."

"First offender, first offender, don't you always say that everyone has a chance? Give them one." He said hastily.

"If you think they should come back, call them back. You are their boss. If there is a next time, don't be your boss and be laid off with them." I said seriously.

"Okay, I promise there will be no second time. If there is a second time, I will be laid off with them." He immediately promised.

I looked at him, turned and walked out of the kitchen, out the back door.

Xianglong was standing by the back door, a little surprised to see me come out.When I came to him and looked carefully, the child was crying outside.

Now that the anger is gone, I asked him: "Tell me, why are you crying?"

There was no sound for a long time.

Then asked: "Are you wronged?"

"Well, kind of." He whispered.

"Why don't you leave when you are wronged? Can crying solve the problem?"

"I like it, chef, I don't want to leave, I want to learn here."

At this time Zhao Xiaojun also came out, and said to Xianglong: "The boss will stop kicking you out, follow me into the house."

Xianglong still didn't believe it, and looked at me.

"What are you looking at, hurry up and enter the house, the boss will change his mind after a while."

Zhao Xiaojun dragged Xianglong in.

These children cannot be taught a lesson.

Standing in the backyard and looking up at the sky, there are faintly a few stars twinkling in the night sky.I can't help but ask myself with emotion, is it the same way when I was young - full of vigor.

Once upon a time, it gradually became stable, its edges and corners were worn away by life, and it was running around for a living.

After 30 days and noon, you are at the age of struggle, but you have no ambitions. You just want to cook all the flavors of life on a three-foot stove, right?is it wrong?

Have you really thought about this life?
But there is still a choice?

He took out a cigarette and lit it, and gave himself a thought in the silence, asking if he was still the boy he was back then?The night is like water, slightly cool into the body, a rare quiet in the cold.

There is no one in the old house where he was born, and his loving mother and sister took care of him, and they are also taking care of him for the rest of his life. He feels ashamed of his son and feels uneasy.

He has been married to his wife for five years, has four sons, and lives in a rented house.

The family has no money and is still running for their lives, just for my son to grow up healthy and have a good future.

There is no way out, just go forward, although the scenery is good and you don’t want to enjoy it, the sun is going to the west, so you should hurry up.

If the practice is as bitter as a monk, if it is three cups of worldly wine.

Where did it come from, and where it will go.
