Chapter 442: Waiting for the Lantern Festival (2)
Ji Xue accompanied Ji Xia to play checkers for a while, ate two pieces of candy, and went to the room to change her clothes, so that Ji Xia could stay in the living room and watch TV.
TV can only watch the central set and the central three, their cable TV has not been renewed, and there are only a few stations that can be watched, but Ji Xia still watches it with relish.
Her parents were not worried about letting her go out to play, but there was no TV to watch at home, and there were no books suitable for her age, or everything she could read had already been watched. Except for Ji Xue, there is no one to accompany her at home, and now Ji Xue is also going out.
Jiang Feng took advantage of the sisters' checkers to take a look at their house, a house with three bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, and a small balcony, all kinds of furniture are readily available, and the decoration is not bad. Jiang Feng couldn't understand anything else, but he could see that the quality of the flooring in Ji Xia's house was good.
The two sisters have their own separate small rooms, and the area of the house is more than 120 square meters, and Jiang Feng feels that it is larger than his house.
Jiang Feng reasonably speculated that when Ji Xia's father was still opening a restaurant, the business of their restaurant should be quite good. The money he made must be more than his family's original healthy snacks, after all, their house prices here in Ji Xia are much more expensive than those in Z City.
Ji Xue changed into a dark dress, this dress was from last year, she is now growing a year and a height, last year's clothes are obviously smaller on her body, and she looks tight and tight.
She couldn't find a better outfit, the two new clothes she bought this year were white, and she had also helped out at the family restaurant, knowing that white clothes would get dirty quickly in that environment.
"Xia Xia, my sister has gone out beforehand, and when you come back at night, you stay at home and watch TV by yourself, don't run out. Ji Xue admonished.
"Sister, can I read the little princess on your bookshelf again?" asked Ji Xia.
Ji Xue was stunned for a moment, thought for a while before remembering which book "The Little Princess" was, a little strange, and asked, "Xia Xia, can you understand?"
"I don't understand. Ji Xia said honestly, "But I want to be a maid like Sara (the heroine of the little princess)!"
Ji Xue was completely stunned, and after a long time, she spoke slowly: "Why do you want to be a maid in Xia Xia?"
Jiang Feng was also stunned, staring at Ji Xia curiously.
I didn't expect Ji Xia's childhood dream to be so different, other children wanted to be astronauts, astronauts, and scientists at this age, and Ji Xia actually thought of being a maid. Fortunately, later Ji Xia changed his ambition to open a breakfast shop, and opening a breakfast shop is a lofty ambition compared to a maid.
"Sara used to have a lot of beautiful dresses and a lot of sweets and snacks, but then she was gone, so she went to work as a maid, but after she became a maid, she was the same again. As long as Sara and I go to school as a maid, we can go dress-buying in the summer and cake shopping with my mom and dad on the weekends. Ji Xia said.
"Little Princess" is not a very childlike child, Ji Xia just understood the superficial meaning of the book, and felt a little empathy.
Ji Xue didn't know how to answer Ji Xia, so she could only smile and say to her: "Then you don't need Xia Xia to be a maid, my sister can be a maid." ”
"I'll go first, if your sister comes back in the late summer and you are hungry first, you can first heat up the steamed buns in the morning and eat half of them. "Monsoon slopes.
"Hmm. Ji Xia nodded, "Sister, come back early." ”
Jiang Feng went out with Ji Xue, in fact, he didn't understand the meaning of Ji Xia's words just now, but he could hear that Ji Xia definitely misinterpreted the original work.
When Jiang Feng went out, he found that the floor of Ji Xia's house was quite high, on the 6th floor, there was no elevator, and it was quite difficult to go up and down the stairs.
Good location in the neighborhood with a bus stop right in front of the door. Tan's small restaurant is not far from Ji Xue's house, you don't need to transfer by bus, it takes 20 minutes, and it is no wonder that Ji Xue chose to work here.
As an expensive private restaurant, the Tan family's small restaurant is not large in area, and the decoration is decent, so I really can't see the appearance of a private restaurant.
Ji Xue obviously came to ask before, the proprietress knew her, and she didn't react much when she saw Ji Xue coming, and her attitude was even a little ignoring.
Ji Xue went to talk to Master Tan's daughter-in-law, obviously talking about specific treatment, and Jiang Feng was wandering around in the Tan family's small restaurant.
The Tan family's small restaurant is not large, and there are few tables, counting the second floor Jiang Feng counted a total of only six tables, which is no wonder that it was difficult to find a dish of Huadiao chicken in the tile altar back then, and the appointment could be arranged for a few months or even a year.
There are only six tables in total, and even if Master Tan's son and daughter-in-law want to make money, it is impossible to drive out the diners who have just started eating. Even if they could really do something like urging diners to eat quickly, Master Tan wouldn't be able to do it alone, after all, the age was there.
Jiang Feng glanced around and was surprised to find that there was no one in the back kitchen of the Tan family's restaurant, and there was only Master Tan's daughter-in-law in the store, and Master Tan was not there, so he must have gone back to rest.
Jiang Feng looked at the Tan family's small restaurant from the inside out, and didn't even let go of the warehouse where the things were kept, and when he went back to look for Ji Xue, he found that Master Tan's daughter-in-law had already taken Ji Xue to the back kitchen to work.
"First of all, I have to tell you okay, our restaurant is not like other restaurants that are closed for one or two days a week, our store has no rest time, you have to come all year round, including the Lantern Festival for two days, don't give me two days to delay my business. Master Tan's daughter-in-law first sounded the alarm for Ji Xue.
"You're an apprentice, you know, apprentices are learning. 600 yuan a month is still given to you because of your young age and family difficulties, and other people's apprentices are only in charge of food and do not pay for it. ”
"I know. "Monsoon slopes.
"It's good to know, since you come here to work, you have to be diligent, you have to do what you see, don't let people call, you have to take the initiative. What to cut vegetables, wash dishes, clean, wipe the table, do what you can, and then get off work when you are done, people are not allowed to leave if the kitchen is not cleaned, even if the meal is finished. ”
"Our old man is a famous chef, if I didn't see that you are young and honest, and you don't look like you're here to steal a teacher, I won't let you help in the back kitchen. Usually control your eyes when you do things, don't look around, and don't think about wanting to steal this and steal that. You are an apprentice, I will teach you a little when you should teach, don't learn what you shouldn't learn, if I find out what you want to steal, I tell you to get out of it. After this long list of words from Master Tan's daughter-in-law, it can be regarded as giving Ji Xue a dismissal.
"I know. "Monsoon slopes.
Seeing that Ji Xue was so obedient, Master Tan's daughter-in-law nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's start working first, I won't be paid for my trial work today, but I can take care of your food at night." The dishes over there are all to be cut, as if they haven't been washed yet, you wash the dishes first, and then cut them. You cut the vegetables in front of me when you came that day, didn't you? I remember that the cut seemed to be okay, but forget it, you can show me it when you're done, so I don't have to remember wrong. ”
"Good. "Monsoon slopes.
Master Tan's daughter-in-law left the back kitchen.
Ji Xue began to wash vegetables, and it can be seen from his movements when washing vegetables that she is not very skilled, and she usually does not wash vegetables often.
In fact, this is normal, even if Ji Xue's family originally opened a restaurant, it is impossible to let the boss's daughter go to the restaurant to help wash the vegetables.
Jiang Feng personally washed the vegetables very rarely, and Comrade Wang Xiulian, a master of washing vegetables in their family, basically did not have the opportunity to wash vegetables in others. Comrade Wang Xiulian is proficient in the Dafa of violent vegetable washing, and although the washed vegetables do not look very good, they are very clean and fast.
Ji Xue was washing vegetables in the back kitchen, and Jiang Feng was watching from the side. When Ji Xue washed the two pots of vegetarian vegetables and cut them in half, the door of the back kitchen was opened again.
It was an old man with gray hair who came in.
That is, the founder of the tile altar flower carving chicken, the late red case master Tan Weizhou.
When Tan Weizhou was alive, there were two things that were most famous, one was the tile altar flower carved chicken, and the other was his unfilial son Tan Lin.
In a sense, Tan Weizhou's unfilial son who fell into the eyes of money and was unwilling to learn his father's cooking skills is more famous than his tile altar flower carving chicken. Jiang Feng had just mixed into the Peking culinary circle, and other chefs shared the old melons in the culinary circle with him, and the most Jiang Feng ate was Master Tan's father-son melon.
After so many years, the Lu cuisine chef circle is eating the melon of the Cantonese chef, you can imagine how wide and powerful this melon was back then, and how famous it was in the chef circle.
All in all, Tan Lin is a representative of unfilial descendants, and he has been lying on him to suck blood until the year before his father's death.
Jiang Weiming's eldest son can be regarded as a filial son and grandson compared to Tan Lin.
Jiang Feng remembered that Tan Weizhou was in his early 70s when he died, so the current Tan Weizhou should be around sixty-five years old.
Because of overwork, Tan Weizhou looks far more than 65 years old, he is very old, and his gray hair has become the youngest place on his body.
Tan Weizhou saw a little girl in the back kitchen chopping vegetables, was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "Daughter-in-law Alin, who is this little girl in the back kitchen?"
The daughter-in-law ran over with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically: "Dad, this is a new apprentice." ”
"Apprenticeship, this is too young, not as old as Wenwen. Tan Weizhou was a little dissatisfied.
"Dad, this girl is in a special situation, her parents are seriously ill, and there is a younger sister below, the family is really difficult, I don't want to leave her behind. Don't look at her young age, her family used to run a restaurant and learned a lot, and there is absolutely no problem for you to cut vegetables or something. The daughter-in-law hurriedly explained.
"The one before was Sister Hong, who was tired and troublesome and didn't want to come. I really can't find anyone for this New Year, you know my body, I can't bear this burden, my shoulders are sore these days. Tan Lin didn't say let him go to the back kitchen to help you, he couldn't even see people until he ate, and I was tired of serving our family every day. "The word tired is sincere.
Tan Weizhou wanted to say something, but he swallowed it again when he came to his mouth, and could only sigh: "Then so be it." ”
"Dad, thank you for your hard work, when you cook, be cautious. After all, although this little girl's family is pitiful, she doesn't know the roots. The daughter-in-law had a smile on her face, and when she saw that Tan Weizhou seemed a little unhappy, she quickly changed her face, "Really, where did Wenwen, this dead girl, go? I don't know where to go if I asked her to come to the back kitchen to help, I'll go and arrest her for you!"
After saying that, the person slipped away.
Ji Xue had already put down the knife and looked at Tan Weizhou a little nervously.
"It's okay girl, you...... Let's do it. Tan Weizhou barely showed a smile, and walked towards the cooking table with heavy steps.
