The story of a cook

Chapter 12

After get off work, Li Jianhan and Yao Liying went out to press the road, Master Chen went home, and the cold dish master and I were left to follow the chef, and the three of us were not interested.After lying on the bed for a while, Zheng Li, who was recruited from the labor market, was called to the female dormitory.

"Brother Tan, how is Li Jianhan?" she asked.

"Very good, not bad." I said.

"When we came out of the house, our parents told us to find someone else. Now that Yao Liying and Li Jianhan are inseparable all day long, I'm a little worried."

"It's hard to say, no one can control it, it should be nothing, and it's normal for the two of them to be in a relationship."

"I'm afraid that Yao Liying will be deceived by Li Jianhan."

"There is no one who cheats the other, it's all a matter of mutual affection."

"When a man and a woman are together, the woman suffers, and the man takes advantage." She said.

I laughed and said to her, "It's not about doing business."

"Why not, men like to take advantage." She said.

"If you're worried about Yao Liying, I'll give you an idea. Tell Yao Liying to tell Li Jianhan that she told her family, and the family agrees. Ask Li Jianhan to take a few days off to go home with her and meet her father and her. Mom, let's see what Li Jianhan has to say."

"What if Li Jianhan agrees?" she asked.

"Then you don't have to worry, it's true."

She thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to Yao Liying."

Everyone knew about Li Jianhan and Yao Liying, but no one cared.It is easy for young people to collide with each other. They are all passionate ages, which is natural.

I also want to have a partner, but there is no suitable one, so I just think about it.I spend more time working in the kitchen, thinking about how to improve my skills.

The cold dish master was going to work with his partner. Master Chen transferred me to the cold dish position, and the boss also raised my salary. The current salary is [-] yuan.

The salary has risen, and the pocket money has been increased from fifty to one hundred. I bought a lot of cooking books, read them when I have time, and fiddled with the books when I saw new things, and made a lot of jokes.A joke is a joke, no matter what those things are, I still enjoy it.Because this master Chen said that I am a culinary idiot and a drunkard, but I just don't understand the style and don't know who to date.

Before the cold dishes, I always help the cold dishes master to work. The cold dishes in the store are good, so I am not very unfamiliar.Master Chen also served several new cold dishes, which I had never seen before. He first taught me how to make them, and then let me operate them by myself. I learned a lot.

Art knows no bounds.

After making cold dishes, I have a new understanding of the dishes.At the water table, I just cut and garnish vegetables, not fry them. Although I will help the cold dish chef to mix a few dishes, I don’t have a deep understanding of the basic seasoning of the dishes.

I started cooking cold dishes, and I feel that basic seasoning is very important, and it is the basis of a dish.Master Chen told me that the most important thing for a chef to cook is the basic seasoning. No matter whether the dish is sweet and sour, spicy, or the most basic salty and fresh, basic seasoning must be carried out. If there is no basic seasoning, the dish is fail.

This is true for hot dishes, as well as cold dishes.

"I can't teach you too much about cold dishes. I have a short time to cook cold dishes. You must remember that basic seasoning is the key to a dish, and it is the focus of a dish." Master Chen said.

After he finished speaking, I began to feel slowly, understand slowly, and comprehend bit by bit.As the saying goes, "The master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual." Master Chen led me in, and what happens in the future is up to me.

From the fear of making the first plate of cold dishes to the later hands-on, this is a very hard process.In the end, I concluded that there is no shortcut to being a chef. You must go forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner, laying every foundation, not being sloppy, not fooling around, and being careful, serious, rigorous, and then unremittingly persistent.

Persistence is too important, don't think that if you have learned the same, you can cook and you are a chef, but at most you are a person who can cook, not even a cook.If being able to cook is said to be a cook, then all housewives in China should be cooks, and they can go to hotels to cook.

Stir-frying is a science, because dishes have character and soul, good dishes can make people have endless aftertaste, can bring back memories and touch.

Sometimes when I see young chefs cooking sloppily and not carefully, they will say a few more words, and if they listen carefully, they will correct them.

In fact, food is like this, if you take it seriously, it will take you seriously.Chefs’ salaries depend on what makes them go up, and it depends on the dishes. If you cook carefully, carefully, and with soul, your dishes will taste good, sell well, customers will like them, and the boss will regard you as a talent.What do talents earn?Talent money of course.

If you don't take the dishes seriously and are irresponsible to the dishes, then the dishes will speak up by themselves, not only won't earn a high salary, but will be fired by the boss.

Since May, the hotel has been busy, so Xiao Ma left and went to her partner's place to have sex.There are two new waiters, HLJ's and sister-in-law.The sister-in-law is Zhou Lan, and the sister-in-law is Li Haina.Zhou Lan is beautiful, big, with big eyes and double eyelids, she looks like a girl from Northeast China at first glance, while Li Haina is petite, small and exquisite.

Li Haina worked as a waiter in the hotel across the street, and it was a successful job. Zhou Lan came out to work for the first time.

I have been working in a hotel for a long time, and the boss always calls me for anything, and I am about to become a hotel housekeeper.After their aunt and sister-in-law came, the boss asked me to send them to the dormitory and arrange beds for them.The two of them brought a lot of things, helped them get to the dormitory, and arranged for them to go back.

"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow." Li Haina said.

"You're welcome, no need." I said.

After get off work the next day, the aunt and sister-in-law really wanted to invite me to dinner, but they refused after some excuses, and followed.

It was the first time I saw the drinking capacity of HLJ's woman at the dinner table, she was really a hero among women, not worse than men at all.The two of them don't drink beer, they just drink beer. They drink with me, and they drink as much as I drink, and they don't seem to be drunk.

Li Haina asked: "How long have you been working here?"

"Almost a year." I replied.

"How many years have you been out?"

"A year and a half."

"how old are you?"

"22."

She couldn't believe it, "You just turned 22? It doesn't look like it. I thought you were 25 or [-]."

I smiled and said nothing.Zhou Lan just drank along and didn't talk much.

"You've only been out for more than a year, and I've been here for three years." Li Haina said.

"You are a senior, I respect you." I clinked glasses with her and took a big sip.

"I did it at the Yellow River Hotel across the street," she said.

"I heard that his family takes care of young ladies." I said.

"Yes, when I was working there, I didn't have a lady, and after I became a lady, I stopped doing it."

"The lady in his family has been there for a while."

"What's the matter? You think I'm a lady?" She was a little unhappy when I said that.

I quickly said, "That's not what I meant."

"I know you don't mean that. After he became a young lady, I quit my job and went back to my hometown to celebrate the new year. After the new year, I will work in our city." She said, and then said: "It's not that my second brother and my sister-in-law are fighting for a divorce. I took my sister-in-law out and told my second brother to reflect on himself at home."

I looked at Zhou Lan, she smiled, then took a sip from her wine glass.

I said to Li Haina: "Oh, you are very good, you brought your sister-in-law out."

"My sister-in-law and I are close. Before she and my second brother got married, we were best friends." She said to Zhou Lan after she finished speaking, "Is that right, second sister?"

Zhou Lan didn't speak, just smiled.

"Isn't it your sister-in-law? Why is it called Second Sister?"

"I'm used to it at home, and I can't change it for a while."

"They haven't been married long?" I asked.

"We got married years ago."

"You're messing around enough. He's still newly married, so you led him out."

"You dare to train me, my sister will beat you up."

This girl is enough to mess around, and she led the young couple out after a few words of arguing.I have solved the conflict between the third sister and the fourth sister, and I know what's going on. It's normal for couples to quarrel. Outsiders just say a few symbolic words. Don't get too involved. It's better to be a couple at that time.

"I'm not scolding you, you did something wrong in the first place." I said.

At this time, Zhou Lan said: "I don't blame Haina, I asked her to take me out, and her second brother's personality is not compatible, and he always fights, so it's good to come out."

Didn't say anything, we don't know the situation about the couple, so we can't talk nonsense.

Li Haina said proudly: "See, I didn't ask her to come out, but she wanted to come out by herself. It should be said that I did a good deed."

"I can't say if it's good or not, but I know you shouldn't do it," I said.

"Why shouldn't I do this?" She was upset and questioned me.

"You don't have to be unhappy, you don't know what you don't get married."

I'm a little angry.

"Looks like you're married?" She pouted at me.

"No."

"You know I'm not married, she's about the same as me."

"I'm not married, but I have resolved this matter." I said: "My sister and my brother-in-law always fight, but no matter how much they fight, they are husband and wife after all. After the incident, they fall apart and have to live. You The sister-in-law should persuade the two of them to be together instead of leading the sister-in-law out, you know!"

"What's the matter with getting it out? No, I'll get my second brother out in two days or so." She knew she had done something wrong, but she refused to admit it. She was really stubborn.

"It's good, but you're smart, I didn't think of it." I said.I don't want to get entangled with her on this matter, no.

At this time Zhou Lan said: "Don't talk about me, have a drink."
