The story of a cook

Chapter 64

Just finished working at night, I cleaned up on the case, and the boss went back to the house to rest.

The waiter brought over a bowl of hot and sour soup to heat up.

On the stove, Xiao Zhang went out to smoke, and the Sichuan water case was also cleaning up. Xiao Li saw that he was going to the stove to heat up the hot and sour soup.It's a simple thing to heat up the dishes, anyone can do it, so I don't care much.

Xiao Lizi went to the stove to heat up. He just lit the fire when he heard a "bang". It's spewing fire.

Little Lizi was so frightened that he ran down from the stove, pushed open the back door of the kitchen and ran outside.

At this moment, two sounds of "bang" and "bang" were heard, and the two adjacent hob hoses also burst open and caught fire.

The Sichuan water case ran out.

I was also stunned, and within a few seconds of being stunned, the whole stove was on fire.

When I woke up, I hurried to the gas room and closed all the big gas tanks.When I turned off the gas tank, my mind was thinking of pulling the switch. After I turned off the gas tank, I ran to the switch and pulled it down. The whole restaurant was completely dark, leaving the kitchen on fire.

Quickly ran into the kitchen.

The entire stove was on fire, and the gas hose that had collapsed slammed out like flames, and the oil stains on the stove were also on fire, making a "sizzling" sound.

He took off his work clothes by the light of the fire, ran to the pool to wet the work clothes, and then ran to the stove to put out the fire with the wet work clothes.

I knew in my heart that the large gas tanks were closed, and the hoses were full of residual gas, which would not last long.

I beat the fire on the stove hard, and soon the fire on one stove was extinguished.

Then I slapped the second stove, and then I heard a "snap", and the lamp on the exhaust hood above the stove was broken.

I looked up and saw that the iron sheet of the entire exhaust hood was all red hot, and my face was burning hot.

Continue to beat the fire on the second stove, and it is quickly extinguished.

Then there was the third hob. When the third hob was hit, the kitchen was full of smoke.

Someone entered the kitchen from the vestibule.

"Why is there a power outage—it's on fire, third child!" the voice of the eldest.

Without thinking about answering him, he quickly extinguished the fire on the third stove.

The front desk also knew that the kitchen was on fire. Some waiters ran to the kitchen, and some ran outside. The guests also ran out of the hotel in panic. The front desk was in chaos for a while.

I get off the stove.

At this time Huang Ping came over with a flashlight, and I shouted, "Give me the flashlight."

Huang Ping gave me the light, and I hurriedly shone it on the stove to see if there was any fire.After careful inspection for a long time, no place with fire was found.Then go over and push the switch on, and the whole hotel is fully lit.

The whole kitchen was full of smoke.

The boss opened the front and back doors of the kitchen, told the waiter that it was all right, and asked the waiter to greet the guests.

I went directly outside, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt much more comfortable.

It took six or seven minutes before and after. Although the time was short, it was thrilling.

I stood outside and took out a cigarette, and when I lit it with a lighter, I realized that my hand was shaking badly, and it took me a long time to light it.Not only did my hands tremble, but my legs also began to tremble, as if I couldn't stand still.

I'm scared.

When I put out the fire, I didn't think of fear at all. I tried my best to fight the fire, and I didn't even feel that the light bulb on the top of my head blew up.

I was afraid of returning home, and I knew that if Xiao Lizi and Xiao Li ran out like the Sichuan water case at that time, they didn’t rush to put out the fire. Now the whole kitchen is already on fire, not only the kitchen is on fire, but the front hall will also be on fire, and the large gas tank will probably explode. , if the large gas tank blows up, the consequences will be disastrous.

I stood outside smoking a cigarette, and the boss led Xiao Lizi and the others inside to clean up the mess.After a while, I felt very cold on my body, only to realize that I was wearing a sweater on my body, and I was shivering in the winter.

Huang Ping came out and gave me a thick coat. After putting on the clothes, I felt better. I felt less cold and less shivering.

Huang Ping asked me, "Tan Zi, are you okay?"

"It's okay." I said.

At this time, I felt like I was exhausted, I had no strength at all, and I looked like I was about to fall down.

"I'm afraid." Huang Ping asked.

"Yes."

She saw my pants and said, "Look, my legs are burning."

Looking down, there was a burnt hole in the calf of the right leg. It should be caused by the pressure of the remaining gas in the hose after the gas tank was closed, the hose fell to the ground, and the fire coming out of the hose burned.Fortunately, it only burned a hole in the trousers, and the liner inside was not burned, and the calf inside was fine.

After reading it, he said to Huang Ping, "It's okay, second sister-in-law, just burn a hole."

The eldest came out of the kitchen and asked, "Third brother, is it burning?"

"No." I said.

"Take a good look." The boss asked worriedly, and also came to see me.

I felt my face was very hot, and my hair smelled like burning hair. I touched my hair and asked the boss: "Boss, is my hair burned?"

The boss looked at my hair, brushed it with his hand and said, "The back is burning, it's okay, not much." Then he turned to my front to look carefully, and then said, "My eyebrows are burning too."

I touched my eyebrows and it was really burned, but fortunately it was only half burned.He touched the back of his head, and then looked at his hands, which had ashes from the burnt hair.No wonder it smells like burning hair.

I felt a burning pain in my right arm. I rolled up my sleeves and found that my right arm was red from the fire, but there were no blisters. It was lucky.

Huang Ping saw that my right arm was burning red, and immediately said: "Hurry up and buy burn ointment and put it on, it's all red, it hurts, Tan Zi."

I said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt very much, it will be fine in a while."

Huang Ping hurriedly said: "After a while, they will all turn red, wait, I will tell them to buy burn ointment." She called Xiao Lizi to buy burn ointment.

The boss told me to go into the kitchen and wash my face, saying that my face was covered with black ashes.

I smiled, thinking about my face now without looking.

into the kitchen.The kitchen is almost cleaned up, except for the black spot on the stove, the light bulb has blown out, and there is no light.The exhaust hood was no longer red, and it was black after being burned.

I washed my face and went to the gas room.A large gas tank is still hot, and there are still hot water pipes flowing underground.

Every restaurant kitchen uses gas tanks. It is cold in winter, and the gas in the gas tanks is not clean and there is surplus gas, so I try to use up the remaining gas in it.Some use the gas tank upside down, and some put the gas tank into a large basin, and then heat water in the basin, so that it can be used more and save some money.In fact, it is the most unsafe to do so, and it is easy to cause gas leakage and cause a fire.

At that time, the awareness of fire protection was not strong, and they didn't pay much attention to it. They thought it was nothing.It's okay for every family to do that, and there is no fire. Is it just my own family that is unlucky?Also relaxed vigilance.

Boss Zou knows how to heat the water, and there is heating in the gas room. He connected a faucet to the return valve of the heating, and connected a water pipe to the faucet. When the pressure of the gas tank was not enough, Xiao Li ran to the gas room to turn it on. Fix the water pipe to the gas tank, and then turn on the heating faucet, and the hot water in the heating will be poured directly on the large gas tank, and the air pressure will come up, and you can continue to use it.

I remember the boss who delivered the gas tanks at that time said that your gas tanks were the cleanest, and if they were like yours, we would all have to lose money.Everyone also praised Boss Zou for his contribution to the restaurant.

It is because of this contribution that this fire was sparked.

The gas in the gas tank has residual liquid, that is, liquefied gas.No matter how good the gas ball valve is, it can shut off the gas, but it cannot shut off the residual liquid.Every day after cooking, Xiao Lizi would go to the gas room to turn off the heating and hot water. I just forgot that day, and the hot water kept pouring on the gas tank.When cooking, I have been using gas, and the air pressure inside is not high enough.When the cooking is over and the fire is turned off, the air pressure inside the gas tank continues to increase, and as the pressure increases, the gas hose is stretched tightly.It happened that Xiao Li went to the stove to ignite, and the pressure directly found the release point. First, the hose burst, and then it caught fire.

One hose burst, followed by a second, and a third.

When I went to close the valve of the big tank, I just touched the hot water pipe on the big tank to the ground, otherwise I couldn't put out the fire.

Fire and water are ruthless, this sentence is true.

Most of the kitchens now use gas pipelines, which greatly enhances the safety factor. At the same time, seamless steel pipes are connected to the stove, and each stove eye is equipped with a cut-off ball valve, which is much safer.Even small restaurants must be connected by seamless steel pipes, and hose connections are completely prohibited, which plays a great role in preventing safety.If the gas pipeline is used in normal operation according to the requirements, there will be almost no fire, unless it is a brutal operation, a gas explosion accident will occur.

What are the precautions?Taking precautions and doing a good job in fire training and training are the most important things at any time.

Fire safety is everywhere, we must pay attention to safety, it is a matter of human life.

Came out of the gas room and glanced into the kitchen to see the other people who were still in shock.

It's really hanging, I'm in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Boss Zou also came back, and with him came the eldest brother and sister Wang.

Boss Zou asked, "Why is it still on fire?"

Huang Ping said: "It's on, but it's good to be off." Then she glanced at me and said, "It's all up to Tan Zi, otherwise what you see now is a pile of ashes. Tan Zi is alone in the kitchen Putting out the fire, if it wasn't for Tan Zi, let alone the kitchen, the whole restaurant would be burnt down."

Boss Zou walked up to me and looked at me up and down.

"Tanzi, are you okay?"

"fine."

The eldest brother and the second brother said with concern: "It's good that there's nothing wrong, it's good that people are good, and the fire is good luck." Then he said to Boss Zou: "Zou, you should have a good time. It's okay to be on fire in the kitchen. It's a great joy. If this Let alone burning down the restaurant, it’s a trivial matter if the restaurant burns down, if you burn someone down, you’ll have to pay for it in your life.”

Boss Zou said: "It's not a big deal, this time Tan Zi made a great contribution." Then he asked: "Haven't you eaten yet?"

The boss said: "It's all gone, this time the stove is on fire, so I can't cook anymore."

Boss Zou said: "What are you doing? Let's go out to eat. I'm happy that there is nothing wrong with the fire today." He took out money from his pocket and handed it to the boss, saying: "Brother, take everyone out to eat something good. Drink and have fun." Helehe, I won’t go, I’ll have a drink with my brother today.”

The boss took the money and said, "Okay, thanks to the third brother today, if it wasn't for the third brother, the kitchen would have burned down."

Boss Zou and the eldest brother seemed to have something to do, so they left after a few words.

Huang Ping gave another 200 yuan to the boss, and asked the boss to lead everyone to take a bath with me after dinner, massage and relax Fan Song, even if it was to calm me down.
