Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 8: First visit to the kitchen
When bidding farewell to the old Su family, Pandi was still a little reluctant to leave.

Even her sisters were a little surprised.

Pandi has never looked like a girl since she was a child, she is as wild as a monkey.

That's why grandma can still suppress this little monkey.

But she had an extraordinary affection and dependence on Su Qingfeng, who had just woken up.

It's just that...the two sisters seemed to understand something when they saw the suspicious glint at the corner of Pandi's mouth.

……

The scenery in the town is very different from that in the countryside.

Looking around, everyone's clothes are mostly black, gray, blue and green.

Dust would rise from time to time on the streets, making the whole scene look dusty.

But the people walking on every street have a unique look of the times, with heads held high and full of energy.

It seems much better than the workers of later generations who worked overtime every day and soaked wolfberry in a thermos cup.

Su Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and walked into the state-owned hotel.

"Tuk Tuk."

At the counter window, a tall and thick-waisted aunt glanced at Su Qingfeng and pointed at the time on the board angrily:

"The door opens at ten, you're early."

Su Qingfeng looked handsome, with pure eyes, and smiled with big white teeth, "It's late, eldest sister. I'm here to report to work."

Miss?

This guy has such a sweet mouth.

Chen Meilan looked at Su Qingfeng again, with a rare smile on her face.

She shouted to the kitchen, "Master Li, Master Xiao Lin, the new chef is here!"

"Boom!"

Only the sound of banging on the chopping board was heard, then it stopped.

Through the small window, you can vaguely see the kitchen knife inserted on the chopping board.

The curtain opened, and two fat men with bulging bellies came out.

The leader was short in stature and looked rather unkind.

He wiped his hands with a towel, took the envelope from Su Qingfeng's hand, and then showed a meaningful smile.

He pulled the flesh on his face and said, "I happen to be short of someone in the kitchen, so come over."

What He Qianjin was talking about back then was the position of chef in a state-owned hotel.

But now...this state-owned hotel obviously has a chef.

Su Qingfeng glanced at the short fat man and walked to the kitchen without saying a word.

"Boom."

A basin of water and a pile of vegetables.

"From now on, you are responsible for choosing and washing the vegetables, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Su Qingfeng seemed to realize at this moment, "That's not what the letter said at the beginning..."

"Tsk!" Li Gen glanced at Su Qingfeng, and there was a hint of ferocity on his fat face:

"Boy, when you enter my territory, I don't care how arrogant you are outside. If you want to make a living here, you can only follow my instructions."

At this time, the chef of a state-owned hotel is equivalent to a master.

When a disciple sees his master, doesn’t he have to be cautious and respectful?

Su Qingfeng looked at Li Gen, and then at Master Xiao Lin next to him who was not surprised.

This was probably another hole dug by He Qianjin.

Be prepared for him to jump.

Although there is a saying that when you enter a state-owned hotel, you have to work as a vegetable cutter for three years after entering.

But the problem is that He Qianjin originally agreed to the position of restaurant chef.

The salary levels are different!

After thinking about it, Su Qingfeng put his hands in his pockets and rolled up his white shirt loosely, looking a little carefree. "Do you know He Qianjin?"

When Li Gen heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a ray of light flashed past.

There was some impatience on his face, "What about He Jinjin, Li Jinjin, I don't understand what you are talking about! Anyway, here, I have the final say! Now you can wash the vegetables for me! Otherwise, I will be in the Li family from now on." You can’t even hope to learn any of my knife skills and recipes.”

Most people might be fooled by this carrot-and-stick attitude.

But for Su Qingfeng...

Pull it down!

He glanced at the pork belly buns with radish tassels that Li Gen had made earlier.

These buns have one thing in common.

That is, the skin of the buns is always torn and they don’t look very good.

In this era, eating meat is already an extremely luxurious enjoyment, and almost no one would dislike meat buns that don’t look good.

But in Su Qingfeng's view, Li Gen's level was not as good as his.

At least he knew that there was a lot of water in the radish, and if he wanted to ensure that the bun skin would not break during the process of putting it on the steamer, he had to fill it with enough stuffing, hold up the skin of the bun, and leave a slit in the pleats of the bun.

Su Qingfeng said with a smile, "Did you miss the point? Now it's me who holds He Jinjin's hand. It was he who begged me, not me who begged him. You are targeting me. If I make a fool of myself one day, I will kill this person." If the matter is revealed, you, He Qianjin and Deng Xiaoya will all have a hard time."

"I'm not afraid of anything anyway. If I go back to the countryside to farm, I won't starve to death anyway. But what about you? If you are angered by He Qianjin and lose your iron rice bowl, that will be bad..."

Li Gen took a deep look at this kid.

It just feels tricky.

But it is undeniable that he still wavered in his original plan because of Su Qingfeng's words.

Li Genyuan was just He Jinjin's fair-weather friend. To say that he sincerely worked for him was simply nonsense.

Why bother?
Doing things for He Qianjin with all your heart will not only bring no benefits, but will also cause harm.

It's better to mix things up at both ends.

In a short period of time, Li Gen's mind changed rapidly and he had already made a decision.

He glanced at Su Qingfeng indifferently, without saying a word, walked to the large stove on the side and vacated the second stove position.

Su Qingfeng immediately smiled and said, "Master Li, please give me your advice."

Li Gen glanced at the boy and turned away.

This kid is very clever and troublesome.

It's better to mess with less.

However, Master Xiao Lin secretly gave Su Qingfeng a thumbs up when Li Gen wasn't paying attention.

He dared to tease the master's tiger beard, but in the end he escaped completely.

This new little master is awesome!

After getting the master master done, the next step is to follow the procedures.

By the time I get all the certificates and letters of recommendation, time is almost up.

Su Qingfeng stood in the back kitchen. After cleaning, he stuck his head out and read the words on the small wooden board.

The dishes served today are: braised pork, cold fungus and day lily, pork belly buns with radish tassels, and fried bacon with garlic moss.

Three full dishes with meaty taste!
He looked in the direction of Li Gen.

Master Xiao Lin is still chopping vegetables and washing fungus.

Although Li Gen was not very good at making buns, he still looked like a chef with the calm demeanor.

When frying the sugar color in the big pot, it feels like having it at your fingertips.

From this point of view, Su Qingfeng only needs to stir-fry bacon with garlic moss.

He didn't rush to make a big dish like braised pork. He washed his kitchen knife, took the bacon, and looked at it.

The bacon you got was alternately lean and fat, the lean meat was dark red, and the fat meat was translucent and shiny, faintly exuding the unique oiliness of fat. During the curing process, it was smoked by pine and cypress firewood, exuding the fragrance of fruit wood.

The most important thing is that this bacon is the best farm pork, not the so-called feed pigs of later generations.

　The signing process is finally complete, please feel free to read on~
　　I didn't sleep well last night. I accidentally took a nap at noon. I woke up late. I'm sorry.
