my old life

Chapter 1205 Exquisite Art

When I returned to the dormitory, I quickly repaired the cut wires, and then the lights in the room were turned on again, and the light was slightly dazzling.

I hid the remaining tape and pliers under the bed, turned around and took out a cigarette and lit it. All the evidence was destroyed by me.

The electrician can find out the problem of the circuit, but he can never come to me, because everything is normal here now, and it is estimated that the electrician will go back when the circuit returns to normal.

For people in the repair shop, it is normal for the electrician to come and fix everything, and I will not tamper with the circuit tonight.

If it rains these days, I will definitely try again. It is my purpose to cause trouble in the casino, and I will never let go of any chance to make trouble!

After smoking, I went out to find Gangzi. Yesterday he said that the kitchen was going to have supper at night. I'm going to check the situation tonight.

As for the few waiters who specialize in food delivery, I have already noted down their appearance. If possible, I have to win over the relationship, and I will start with them later!

I carefully calculated the next plan in my mind. There must be no mistakes in it, and I must prepare reasons and excuses in advance...

Gangzi's room is next to mine. After entering the door, he was lying sprawled on the bed. When he saw me coming, he immediately sat up.

"What are you doing brother Gang? Do you miss your sister-in-law?" I joked with a smile, and he smiled embarrassedly immediately.

"It's really evil tonight. The power is always cut off. It's so hot..."

I took out a cigarette and handed it over to me. The seven yuan five pack of Hongtashan was very choking, but now I can only smoke this grade with my status.

"Brother Gang said that there will be supper in the kitchen at night, what time is it?"

"From twelve o'clock to one o'clock, the specific time is not fixed, and there are shifts at night... I am on duty tonight."

"Oh, let me go over tonight to see if I can help."

I smiled and said a polite word, and said that no one would refuse to help, not to mention that I didn't want to be shared with other people.

"Okay! I knew I was right, boy, you work hard and nimbly, and the most important thing is that I can see the difference in your eyes!"

"Ah? What's the difference?" I asked with a guilty conscience. It couldn't be because of my eyes, could it?
"There is a tenacity in your eyes that no one else has. I have seen it several times when you were working. It is a good material!"

"..."

I didn't know how to answer Gangzi's words, but I was secretly relieved, and I will have to disguise my eyes in the future!
Gangzi and I were smoking cigarettes and chatting, and the whirring of the electric fan can feel a little cool, but the heat of early summer is always easy to upset people.

After learning that Gangzi is from Zhangqiu, he has been a chef for almost ten years, and has been working since dropping out of school... No wonder he looks like he is 35-[-].

Time passed by, and it was almost twelve o'clock when Gangzi changed into his work clothes and was about to go to the kitchen. He said that there was not much portion for supper, but he didn't say who it was for.

I know it must be the gamblers in the casino who need supper. After all, gambling is a very tiring thing, and it is normal to have something to eat when you are hungry in the middle of the night.

I followed Gangzi to the kitchen. There were only the two of us in the kitchen. He was smoking a cigarette leisurely, looking very leisurely.

"Brother Gang, when do we start cleaning up?"

"No, you can just wait here, wait for people to order before preparing."

"Oh oh oh!"

I sat next to him and took out a cigarette and lit it. Seeing that Gangzi dares to smoke here, I have nothing to worry about. After all, who is free to watch the kitchen at night?
Ten minutes later, there was a ding-dong sound in the kitchen, and a machine on the wall spit out a list. Gangzi tore off the list, glanced at it, and handed it to me.

"Let's start preparing, these people eat strange food!"

"I see."

When I looked at the list, there were several dishes on the list, and there was a note on the back of the customer's request, no chili or coriander, etc. This feeling immediately made me the first request when ordering in a restaurant.

It’s just that now that my identity and role have been reversed, I’ve become the kitchen. This reminds me of the time when I changed from a grandpa to a chef serving him. This abnormality is very shocking!
I started to prepare the vegetables according to the requirements of the order, washing and cutting them. If I didn’t have a firm belief in my heart, I swear I would never stay in this place for one more minute!

In the past, my second uncle often said that people choose what they do, they choose their own life path in order to live, and all walks of life become champions...

I think if you can rely on your brain to eat, you will definitely not rely on physical strength!Even if it is technology, there are subdivisions. Brain technology is always better than physical technology, for example, better than a cook who flips the spoon...

The deserted kitchen soon became lively, Gangzi was in charge of cooking and I was in charge of preparing dishes, but he said that the portion of the dishes should be smaller and the meat seasoning should be more, so it looks delicate!

At the beginning, I was still confused and didn't understand much, because I had never been in the kitchen industry before, but after Gangzi's explanation, I soon understood!
He said that no matter where people are, people will have a consciousness, that is, they will compare the ratio of vegetables and meat on the plate, subconsciously feel that more meat is more affordable... Even if the amount of meat is reduced, it will also give people an illusion of being more affordable!

He said that the portion of the dishes here must be small, even if it is the same dish, the smaller the portion, the more delicate it will look, if you give a full portion, it will make people feel inferior...

I think this is completely fooling people. In my impression, shouldn't the exquisite dishes be carefully prepared by the chef?And isn't the exquisite plate decoration all a lot of hard work?
"Where did you work in the kitchen before, kid? Didn't you learn such a simple truth? Go and bring some tomatoes over here to decorate the plate."

"Huh? Let me decorate the plate? I've never done it before..."

"Haha, I still need to understand this thing? Take it here and I'll tell you!"

Under Gangzi's instructions, I cut up a few tomatoes and broccoli and prepared to put them on a plate, but I was always confused. What if the spelled things are messy?
To be honest, I have already started to feel a little guilty. After all, I have never been in this industry before, and I don’t know how to decorate plates...

"The area on a plate is fixed, just decorate it with some jam and chocolate sauce, no styling is required, anyway, the less visible, the better!"

"The more you can't understand, the better? Is it just me playing it casually?"

"Yes, you can just do it casually. Have you ever seen anyone who deliberately studied the decoration on the plate? To put it mildly, it is called art, and to put it simply, it gives people a sense of refinement."

I think there are always very few dishes on the plate, but Gangzi said that this will give people with tricky tastes a sense of refinement and art. He also said that the more things people have, the more they like to pretend to understand...

I randomly placed the tomatoes and broccoli, and smeared some jam along the way, as long as the jam was connected in a line, it was successful.

I think what Gangzi said is quite reasonable. There are unknown things in all walks of life, and there is always something to learn from everyone. Before this, I didn’t expect that cooks also understand people’s hearts and human nature!

I think it should be the surprise caused by the different industries. Looking at the dishes I decorated in front of me, I didn’t expect that the delicate dishes I ate before were all made like this!
Suddenly the kitchen door was knocked twice, and two waiters came to the kitchen listlessly, looking like they were still two of the few from yesterday.

It's just that there are a lot fewer waiters who come over at night. I guess the two of them are not good among the waiters... Otherwise, they can come here to deliver food at night?
"Two brothers, sit down and wait for a while, and you will be fine soon." I took the initiative to say hello, and the two of them gave me a rather surprised look.

I gave them a big smile, and said in my heart that once you are acquainted with each other twice, there will always be a time when you can slowly draw them together...

"Don't sit down, just hurry up."

"no problem!"

I turned my head and started working immediately. In fact, I had to wait for Gangzi to cook, and soon everything on the list was ready.

The two waiters pushed the dining cart away, but just as they walked past the machine on the wall, another order came.

I took a look at it just now and gave me the order again. I continued to prepare the dishes, thinking that the two waiters just now would have to come in a while!

If only I had some laxatives or something, it would be a matter of course to give them some laxatives, and it would be a matter of course to help them deliver food. They probably wish I could run errands for them...
