Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 136 The Educated Youth Returning to the City

morning.

Wang Xuejun led five young people into the kitchen.

"Xiao Jianjun, Huang Tingting, you two will follow Master Du from now on. Deng Gang, Gao Guoqiang, Yang Li, you three will follow Master Dong from now on."

Wang Xuejun first made a brief introduction. These five young people were all educated youth who had returned to the city. They had worked in the labor service agency under the Electric Power Industry Bureau for a period of time, and only now had they solved their work quotas.

To be honest, they are lucky.

In the past two years, there has been a trend of people returning to the city, and many people are unable to find jobs in time. Although the college entrance examination was resumed last year, not everyone can get into university. The admission rate last year was less than 5%, which shows how difficult it is.

Being able to work as apprentices at Guangyuan Hotel shows that their families have some resources.

Du Shaojie looked at Xiao Jianjun and Huang Tingting. Xiao Jianjun was short and thin, giving people a feeling of a pointed face and monkey cheeks. Huang Tingting, on the other hand, had a good appearance, tall and plump.

These two people are about the same age as Du Shaojie, only one or two years older, and are of the same age.

"Xiao Jianjun, Huang Tingting, you two come with me."

Du Shaojie did not chat with the two of them. Many things can be understood slowly through work.

He took them directly to a cook and asked them to follow him to wash vegetables. Apprentices must start with odd jobs, and he himself had gone through the same thing.

"Master Du, can I learn to cook from you after work?"

Du Shaojie was about to leave when Huang Tingting suddenly asked with a smile.

"Wait until you have mastered the basic skills."

This is a very scheming girl, Du Shaojie made a judgment immediately.

He rejected the other party's request expressionlessly, thinking that instead of being an apprentice in the kitchen, it would be better for Huang Tingting to go to the housekeeping department.

However, there are very few regular employees in the housekeeping department, and most of them are temporary workers.

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Master Du."

Huang Tingting behaved very naturally. If Du Shaojie had not experienced the information bombardment in his previous life, he really would not be able to see what kind of person she was.

Of course, the other party’s principles have nothing to do with him. He will neither indulge Huang Tingting nor deliberately target her.

After finishing the work at noon, Du Shaojie called Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun together and asked them about their first day's work experience. Fortunately, neither of them showed any grievance or impatience, and they were able to complete the tasks assigned to them well.

"Well, let's eat first. After dinner, I'll take you to the dormitory."

Du Shaojie fulfilled his duties very well and took the two to the dormitory after dinner.

Both the male and female dormitories were four-person rooms. After all, it was a newly established unit, so the accommodation conditions were better. But forget about single rooms, Xiao Jianjun and Huang Tingting were not qualified.

in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie received two letters at once.

One of the letters was from Qi Yan, and inside it was a photo of him and the other person. The other letter was from Liang Meiqin, and the content of the letter was very short, mainly telling Du Shaojie that she would come back to visit relatives in the summer.

He quickly read the two letters and put them away.

Being quite busy at the moment, he didn't have time to read it carefully, let alone write a reply.

In the evening, another table of individual customers came and asked Du Shaojie to be the chef. To be honest, this was all caused by the banner hung by Yao Liwen. If this continues, it will break the rules.

Du Shaojie plans to talk to Manager Yao in the next two days. Is it time to take down the banner?

Before going to bed at night, he took stock of his gains over the past few days.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

【Level: Level 2 Chef】

[Current works: Sweet and sour pork tenderloin, crispy pork intestines, fish with fermented soybean paste, twice-cooked pork, boiled pork slices, spicy and sour chicken offal]

【Overall evaluation: up and down】

[Bonus: Simulated Chef Skills Competition Duration (360 hours)]

[Rewards: Exchange points (36 points), simulation training time (360 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

[Exchange points: 795 points\824 points]

【Duration: 1520 hours\18856 hours】

Du Shaojie felt that the previous things should come to an end. From now on, he has two short-term goals:

The first is to strive to win the championship in the simulated chef skills (Group B3) competition, and the second is to raise the overall evaluation of a certain dish to the "high" level in reality as soon as possible.

The mid-term goal is to obtain the qualification of “first-level chef” in the chef grade examination at the end of the year.

After making up his mind, Du Shaojie fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, he went out for a run, and then returned to the dormitory to write back to Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin.

The two letters were quickly written, and he put them into two envelopes, sealed them, put stamps on them, and then kicked them.

After breakfast, he put the two letters at the hotel front desk. A postman would come to pick up the letters and send them out in time.

Du Shaojie seemed to have returned to his state before the competition. Every day when he had free time, he would go to the simulated chef skills (Group B3) competition and participate in round after round.

After discovering your shortcomings, you can conduct simulation training or carry out actual operations in reality.

The business of the Chinese restaurant in Guangyuan Hotel is getting better and better. Most of the time, Du Shaojie, Dong Yunxian and Sanzao are so busy that they naturally have no shortage of opportunities to cook.

The only bad thing is that it is not Du Shaojie who decides what dishes he wants to cook, but the customers.

At noon that day, Du Shaojie was cooking, and Huang Tingting came over again. In recent days, after she finished her work, she would always come over to watch him cook, but Xiao Jianjun didn't have the courage to do so.

Of course Du Shaojie knew, but he was too lazy to care about her.
He discovered that Huang Tingting was not just trying to make herself familiar to him, but was really interested in cooking.

It's a pity that the other person is a lesbian. Due to the inherent physiological limitations, few women can become chefs. Therefore, there are almost no female chefs in major restaurants. This is the reason.

But nothing is absolute. There were also "cooks" in ancient times, right?
If Huang Tingting is really willing to work hard, Du Shaojie will also give her serious guidance.

"Huang Tingting, someone is looking for you outside."

Just then, someone suddenly called Huang Tingting and asked her to go out for a while.

Huang Tingting did not act immediately, but looked at Du Shaojie. She and Xiao Jianjun were arranged to follow Master Du, so no matter what they did, they needed to get the other party's consent.

"Go ahead. There's nothing for you to do right now. You don't need to stand here."

Du Shaojie waved his hand and told Huang Tingting to do as she pleased.

The five new apprentices are still at the stage of doing odd jobs. It doesn't matter if they have more or less, so there is no need to be too strict with them.

About twenty minutes later, Huang Tingting came back from outside. Her eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying. Although Du Shaojie was a little curious, it was someone else's private matter after all, so he didn't ask.

After lunch, Yao Liwen called Wang Xuejun and Du Shaojie to his office.

"Director Huang came today, and I just found out that Huang Tingting is actually his niece. Director Huang didn't know in advance that Huang Tingting would work in our hotel, so when he found out about this, he flew into a rage."

Yao Liwen sat behind his desk and lit a cigarette.

As smoke rose, he helplessly told the story of Huang Tingting.

Huang Tingting is Huang Yicheng's niece. She and her family have asked Huang Yicheng for help with work matters, but Huang Yicheng refused to help at all, saying that he could not take the lead in doing something unhealthy.

Huang Tingting's mother was so angry that she wanted to cut off contact with Huang Yicheng. In the end, it was Huang Tingting's father who went to ask Chen Jizhou for help and finally got the work target settled.

Normally, the incident was over, but Huang Yicheng insisted that Yao Liwen send the person back after learning about it. Where? Of course, he sent him back to the labor service agency.

After Huang Yicheng met with Yao Liwen, he called Huang Tingting out to do some ideological work, asking her to cooperate unconditionally.

Huang Tingting had a big fight with her uncle and cried until her eyes were red afterwards, but she firmly disagreed to return the work quota. Her work problems were not solved by her uncle, so why did he ask for so much?

"Manager Yao, this matter is difficult to handle. How about we just listen to Director Huang?"

Wang Xuejun also shook his head secretly, but who can blame him for being the deputy director? Less trouble is worse than more trouble, so it is better to follow the leader's arrangements, after all, it is the leader's family matter.

Yao Liwen snorted without comment, then looked at Du Shaojie.

"I think our hotel has no right to send Huang Tingting back. She works at a Chinese restaurant and has all the necessary formalities. Even Deputy Director Huang can't make any special arrangements for her, right?
Let them go home and solve this matter by themselves. Unless Huang Tingting takes the initiative to ask for it, we have no right to make arbitrary arrangements."

Du Shaojie actually doesn't like unkind guys like Huang Yicheng. There's nothing wrong with sticking to principles, but does one have to step on other people's future to show off oneself?
The bureau takes care of many old employees. Huang Tingting's father is an old worker at the Hongshanzui Power Plant. It is not unhealthy to solve the employment problem of a child.

Chen Jizhou did this for the sake of Huang Tingting's father, not for the sake of Huang Yicheng.

"Master Du is right! I came here to talk to you so that we don't have to worry about how to deal with problems. We won't get involved in Huang Tingting's affairs, and the leaders can't force us to make mistakes, right?"

Yao Liwen had a plan in mind and decided not to pay any attention to Director Huang.

Anyway, if I listen to Deputy Director Huang's words, I will offend Director Chen. However, Huang Yicheng is a heartless person. Wouldn't it be stupid to offend him for him?

The more he looked at Du Shaojie, the more he liked him. However, he was more dissatisfied with Wang Xuejun. Wang Xuejun had good business skills, but he was a fence-sitter in other aspects. He could not trust such a person.

Yao Liwen has already thought about replacing Wang Xuejun.

in the afternoon.

Du Shaojie called Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun to his side and demonstrated to them the simplest straight cutting technique.

"When you have time, practice as I say. There is only one requirement: you are not allowed to waste food."

He began to teach knife skills to his two apprentices. If Xiao Jianjun and Huang Tingting wanted to reach the level of mastery in knife skills, it would take at least three to two years.

Then start practicing from now on. There is no shortcut to this kind of thing. The only way is to study hard and practice diligently.
