Chapter 61 The Sudden "Western-style Education" (2)

With the continuous efforts of the two, on the third night, the bar staff and the restaurant manager finally let them get in touch with the drink making stage for the first time.

In fact, it is not difficult to prepare drinks in this kind of restaurant. Many of them are composed of fixed formulas, and there is no difference. Just memorize the formula table and follow the steps. There will be no difference in taste.

But Ah Fu and Xiaodong didn't know it, and they were making adjustments very seriously, especially Ah Fu, whose hands were shaking when measuring the raw materials.

After Trembling made the first drink, the two of them were at the bar, secretly watching the customer's reaction, eager to see how their drink was mixed from the customer's face.

But God seems to be against the two of them. The customer didn't drink from the drink until the end, which made the two of them nervous. Every time the customer raised his hand, the two of them widened their eyes and stretched their necks. Staring so intently that he almost made a hole in the customer.

The bar staff also laughed when they saw the two of them like this. The two newcomers were a little too nervous, so they pulled them back and asked, did you measure them clearly just now?The two nodded.You didn't add anything just now, did you?The two shook their heads.You guys didn't add soda to Sprite, did you?The two shook their heads.The bar member smiled and said, that's no problem, you go back and continue working.

Time passed quickly, and when Ah Fu saw that a sum of money had been deposited on his mobile phone, Ah Fu knew that his labor of last month had finally paid off, although it was not much, at least he could last for a while.

Although Ah Fu and Xiaodong don’t enter the kitchen at home, they can learn these things very quickly, because this restaurant is not a normal one, but a franchise restaurant, and all the raw materials and steps are shipped from the head office. They are just responsible for the preparation and heating.

The two successfully switched stations three times in half a month, and were ready to move on to the fourth operation station.

When Ah Fu's parents received Ah Fu's repayment, it was almost the end of the period. Ah Fu not only paid back the money with interest, but also paid back the interest and late payment fees. When I arrived at the restaurant, I started a winter vacation job.

From then on, Ah Fu seldom came back home during his holidays, and usually worked outside. Even if he went home, he only stayed for a few days, and he would consciously pay the room fee and do housework well.

For A Fu, this is nothing more than doing what he was supposed to do. It is the same at school and in restaurants. The places he has stayed in must be tidied up, and the things he lives have to be paid for.Ah Fu felt that this was nothing, as it should be.

At the beginning, Ah Fu's parents also felt the same way. Their children have become independent and grown up. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

But as time went by, Ah Fu's parents felt that something was wrong, and they lived together. Now they are more like a landlord and a tenant, not a child and their parents.

What's more, now Ah Fu doesn't go home anymore, he works all the time, and rarely comes back during breaks, except that the school doesn't allow him to live, otherwise he won't be able to see his son at home.As a parent, I miss my son a little bit.

As a parent, what do you do with your children so clearly?Ah Fu's mother complained about her husband more than once, so that she couldn't see her son. Every time she met, she gave money to stay in the hotel, and she was like an innkeeper.

Ah Fu's father doesn't think so, isn't this the case for all foreign children?Parents don't care after others, their children can do it, why can't their own children?What's more, his parents began to enjoy the world of two when they were old, but my wife didn't know how to enjoy it.

In this world, one thing is certain, that is, God rewards hard work, and I don’t want to keep talking about negative energy things, and this is not a negative energy thing at all, and I will not talk nonsense in order to conform to the previous article.

Ah Fu's efforts soon paid off, not from the restaurant, but from the family.

Ah Fu's mother completely ignored her husband, convinced herself first, and went to the school to find Ah Fu.

Ah Fu was very surprised to see his mother, because when his mother came to the dormitory, he was still memorizing on the bed with the copied formula sheet.

Ah Fu's mother saw her precious son in her hands, alone on the bed, with bread in her left hand and a small notebook in her right hand, and she was muttering words, and she felt uncomfortable. How could this be her own son? How could he be willing to let him eat these at home? Even if he didn't eat a lot of fish and meat, he never treated his children badly by letting them eat these fast foods.

When Ah Fu saw his mother coming, he put down the formula sheet in his hand, wrapped up the half-eaten bread, climbed out of the bed, and opened the stool to ask his mother to sit down. Ah Fu thought, this mother would not come here out of nowhere , there should be something, so I asked casually: "Mom, what do you want to do today?"

Ah Fu's question made Ah Fu's mother embarrassed, and she really had nothing to do, just to come and see, Ah Fu's mother saw her son's serious indifference, and thought to herself, this son is still alive Are you angry with yourself?He asked: "It's okay, I just came to see how you are doing, how do you eat bread? If you don't go to the cafeteria to eat, don't you have enough money?"

"No, I'm too lazy to go downstairs. The floor is not too low. Now that I don't have class, I don't even bother to go downstairs." A Fu looked at his mother and didn't say anything. It was true, he was really too lazy to go downstairs. The sixth floor, running back and forth is the twelfth floor, the weather is still hot, the whole body is sweaty, and I have to take a shower, and I have to take a shower when I come back from the restaurant at night, so troublesome.What's more, the weather is hot and people's appetite is not very good. Looking at the food in the restaurant at night, I don't want to eat it. If I go to the cafeteria during the day and see those greasy dishes, it is really nauseating.

"Are you still angry? Actually, I told your dad that it's not right, but your dad insists on imitating other people's "Western-style education". I didn't expect it to take so long." Ah Fu's mother looked at Ah Fu's face, her chin was pointed, and her heart ached so badly, she continued: "I thought you couldn't support it in a few days, but I didn't expect you to It's been so long, if I knew the life you lived in school, I would never give you money."

"Mom, I think this is very good." After Ah Fu said, he looked up at his watch. It was time for him to go to work, and he had to learn new products early today, so he was about to go out, turned around and said to his mother, "Mom, I want Going to work, go back if you have nothing to do, be careful on the road."

Looking at the back of Ah Fu turning away, Ah Fu's mother felt very uncomfortable. She was also selfish at the beginning. Seeing that her child could live a good life and not live a bad life, she just thought about exercising. What, I didn't expect that my child is so indifferent to me now, and won't go home after vacation.Ah Fu's mother thought that since her child had left, it was meaningless to stay by herself, so she went home.

After that, Ah Fu's mother came several times, but she didn't get any good looks, or Ah Fu didn't give her mother any good face.In this matter, it’s not that Ah Fu doesn’t want to give his mother a good face, because when he goes to work, he sometimes comes into contact with customers. It is also a kind of relaxation.

But A Fu's mother didn't know it, she just felt that her child was blaming herself and not forgiving herself, and the blaming towards A Fu's father was even worse.

Ah Fu's hard work in the restaurant was not in vain, the reward was not only huge, it was so big that Ah Fu was dumbfounded.

When Ah Fu came to the restaurant for almost a year, one day, the manager of the restaurant asked Ah Fu if he would like to be the head chef.

Ah Fu was stunned by the sudden happiness, he couldn't speak anymore, he just nodded and giggled.Ah Fu knows what it means to be a head chef. The head chef means that he has done a good job in the inner kitchen, has rich experience, and has leadership skills, and can be in charge of the entire inner kitchen.Although the kitchen of this restaurant does not have any technical content, such a position is a great encouragement for a part-time college student who has not yet graduated.

Because Ah Fu knew that before him, there had never been a real head chef in the restaurant, and it was even more impossible for someone who had only been in the restaurant for a year to take such an important position as the head chef of the evening shift.For a restaurant whose business hours are from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, the dinner period basically contributes [-]% of the daily turnover, which cannot be missed. The chef on the evening shift not only represents that he has gained technical leadership The affirmation also represents the leader's trust in him, and he feels that he will not mess up, so he entrusts such an important thing to himself.

But Ah Fu's first day as a chef was not easy.

Although Ah Fu used to work as a head chef, he had never really been a head chef. Without this title, although Ah Fu ran around at various operating tables and helped everywhere, he never really managed the entire inner kitchen.

The most important thing is that there has been no head chef on the night shift, and everyone has always had a very relaxed life. As newcomers, Ah Fu and Xiaodong quickly got along with everyone, and now they became head chefs, a year older than everyone. They can be regarded as the management level, and it seems that there is a gap in the usual conversation and communication, but it is even more difficult to order others.

And Ah Fu and Xiaodong came here together, now that he has been promoted to head chef, Xiaodong is still a small bar member, Xiaodong is not feeling well, and sometimes the chef and chef will tease Ah Fu.

But these are nothing to Ah Fu, because Ah Fu has already worked as a chef, and he is familiar with these, just do it as usual, and you have to distinguish everything clearly. Familiarity returns to familiarity, troubles return to troubles, and when you go to work, you still have to follow the rules.

However, Ah Fu acted according to the regulations, and was rejected on the first night.And the top person is Ah Fu's good friend, Xiaodong.

The restaurant rule for drinks is 2 minutes.That is to say, from the moment the drink order is received at the bar, except for special drinks, the waiting time is only 2 minutes at most. After deducting the time for the waiter to serve the plate, basically the longest time for making drinks at the bar is no more than one and a half minutes.

That night Xiaodong didn’t know why he was a little absent-minded. The restaurant at night was full of orders as usual, especially the list at the bar counter. It was longer than the toilet paper in the toilet, but Xiaodong didn’t seem to care very much. Do it slowly, regardless of the list that keeps coming.

Ah Fu is impatient, and the chef's workbench is the window for serving dishes, which is directly connected to the outside of the restaurant, and the waiters also serve dishes from this side.

After Ah Fu received a reminder from the outside waiter for the nth time, he finally broke out and shouted towards the bar: "Xiaodong! Drinks! 48 tables of crystal dream cups have been waiting for half an hour! The guests have finished eating! What are you doing!"

When Xiaodong heard this, he slowly returned: "That can't be helped, the crystal pearls have just been cooked~ they'll be here soon~"

"The caramel macchiato with double cream at table 86! Customers have been waiting for 15 minutes!"

"Come here~ Don't you need to make this drink cup by cup? What's the rush? What's the rush~"

Hearing this, Ah Fu turned his head to look at the list at Xiaodong's bar, there were quite a lot of them, and there was a whole row, and there were still many that hadn't been listed, and were still hanging on the machine.Ah Fu was startled when he saw it, and went directly to the bar to help Xiaodong do it.

When Ah Fu helped Xiaodong finish the long-delayed order and returned to the food outlet, Ah Fu heard Xiaodong complaining behind his back: "It's awesome to be the head chef, and you can't even call people around." Already~ What are you proud of?"

Ah Fu didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the vegetable outlet to get busy.

When it was time to close, Ah Fu routinely went to each console to ask about today's wear and tear, and the first one was the bar.When Ah Fu walked to the bar, Xiaodong was cleaning the operating table there. Ah Fu stepped forward and asked Xiaodong: "I am not complacent, I don't care whether I am the chef or not, I stand at the food outlet, and if someone urges me, I should Help remind me, you won’t understand after staying for so long, right? In addition to the explosion of orders today, it will be very troublesome for you to return the order. We have encountered it before. If you are angry because of this, I will not Method. What about tonight's attrition and abandonment?"

After reporting the truth, Xiaodong continued to do his own work, and Ah Fu also switched to other stations to ask about tonight's situation, and registered one by one.

By the time Ah Fu finished his work, Xiaodong had already done it for a long time, and Ah Fu was exhausted from the first day's work. This night was like several nights. It was really different whether he had this title or not.It turns out that I just do this job and do my own job well. Since I became the head chef, I not only have to do a good job at the food outlet, but also manage the affairs of other stations. I am really busy and dizzy. Thankless.
