At half past six in the morning, before dawn, Tang Yu saw through the window that the sky was still dark in the early morning. Tang Yu got up in a daze, squeezed the toothpaste with no strength all over his body, opened and closed his eyes and watched the toothpaste squeeze into his mouth, waving up and down to brush his teeth.

Neon lights illuminated the street in the dark night, Tang Yu changed his clothes, and at this time, it was already daytime in an instant. The sun came out, and Tang Yu seemed to return to the time when the morning fog was surrounded by junior high school, and that early morning was unforgettable for Tang Yu for the rest of his life.

After a traffic light, the claypot restaurant was in front of him, Tang Yu looked at the Samsung mobile phone, and the mobile phone showed that the time had only passed for 8 minutes. The old chef saw Tang Yu, and with the help of the proprietress, Tang Yu and the old chef met for the first time, the old chef's name was He Youcai, and he was called Uncle He for the time being.

In addition, there are two young men, the smaller one is called Ah Jiang, the older one is called Ao Jin, and there is also a fat chef named Li Fan who is busy at this time, an old chef, a young man who does not trim his beard, Tang Yu saw the other party's explosive head, and the other party said: "New here, my name is Li Kai." Tang Yu said cautiously: "Well, the first time we met, hello everyone." Everyone saw Tang Yu take the initiative to say hello, and everyone except Uncle He began to get busy.

After Tang Yu corrected the gesture of holding the knife in his right hand, for an hour and a half, his hand was stained with the blood of pork, and he kept cutting pork slices. He Bo brought a box, and after putting a hemostatic patch on Tang Yu, Tang Yu continued to cut beef.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Tang Yu and other staff went to the canteen for breakfast, Ah Jiang gently patted Tang Yu's shoulder with his left hand, and Ah Jiang whispered: "Let's go, drink porridge." Tang Yu and Ah Jiang came to the dining hall, Tang Yu sandwiched a little mustard and shredded meat, and ate a big bowl of porridge. Tang Yu felt that white porridge was so delicious for the first time, resigned from the shoe factory for half a year, and finally found a job, Tang Yu couldn't help laughing in the canteen.

Ah Jiang saw Tang Yu laughing, and he said loudly: "Don't laugh, what's wrong with you? Tang Yu put away his smile, which made everyone laugh.

"Looks like the newcomer likes this job. ”

"yes, I hope he does it longer. ”

"When I first arrived, I wasn't familiar with the internal situation, but it was me who went to a better place to be a chef after working for half a year. ”

Ah Jiang said: "Hey, everyone is laughing at you, don't laugh, Brother Laughingstock." ”

Tang Yu said disdainfully: "You are the laughing stock brother, you are... ”

Ao Jin said loudly: "Okay, what are you talking about? Ajiang is my brother." ”

Tang Yu and Ah Jiang smiled and looked at Ao Jin, Ao Jin coughed twice, and then he said, "Let's go, go to work, Tang Yu, you too." Tang Yu started cutting chicken chops at half past nine, cutting two knives on the chicken with a knife, although it looked simple, but Ah Jiang still taught Tang Yu for a few minutes before the other party learned.

Tang Yu was cutting chicken steaks in the narrow corner of the kitchen, and the two people next to him, Ah Jiang was cutting beef, and there were a lot of tendons on the original beef, but it was easily solved under Ah Jiang's knife technique. Ao Jin picked up the kitchen knife and slashed, and after a while, more than a dozen catties of pork ribs were divided into one by one.

Then, Ao Jin was removing the scales and cutting the flesh of the fish. Ah Jiang walked to another place to marinate pork ribs, fish, and chicken steaks. Tang Yu was left to continue cutting the chicken cutlets, and the others went to make claypot rice. In the afternoon, when the sun was shining, Tang Yu saw that it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and he just wanted to find a place to sit, at this time, everyone went home to rest one after another.

Ah Jiang stood beside Tang Yu and turned his back to him and said, "Get off work, remember to come in the afternoon." Tang Yu said lazily: "Got it." Tang Yu felt that his whole body had no strength, and when he returned home, after Tang Yu opened the door, he picked up the water cup and took a sip, Tang Yu's mother said happily: "Ah He, go and rest." Tang Yu fell on the bed, his eyes blinking at the orange sun, finally, Tang Yu started his own work, although it was the first day, but it was enough for him to feel the joy of the first step of success.

After an hour and a half of deep sleep, Tang Yu was woken up by Tang Yu's mother. With a tired sleepiness, Tang Yu dragged his body to work. The security guard of the community saw Tang Yu and took the initiative to say hello to him, and Li Baoan said, "Where are you going? Tang Yu saw that it was him, and Tang Yu said, "It's finally time to go to work." Li Baoan said loudly: "Okay." ”

Li Baoan just arrived half a year ago, his hair is pale, he is old, he wears a pair of small red glasses, his skin is dark, and he is usually happy to talk. In the security guard, he is an honest man. When Tang Yu came to the clay pot restaurant, Ah Jiang and Ao Jin had just arrived, but they were already making claypot rice.

At this time, there were more than a dozen customers in the store, all of whom were students from nearby schools. Tang Yu put on a plastic apron and a disposable head covering. The evening work began, Ao Jin was responsible for pouring rice, adding ingredients, and the ingredients were bacon, fish, chicken cutlets, pork ribs, and sausages. Ah Jiang is responsible for cutting the ingredients and teaching Tang Yu, Li Kai is responsible for cooking clay pot rice, Tang Yu is mainly responsible for cooking the cooked clay pot rice, and then passing it to the waiter one by one.

After Tang Yu handed the waiter dozens of claypot rice, because the ingredients were not enough, Ajiang took Tang Yu to cut the ingredients. Ah Jiang made a heart at this time and asked Tang Yu to cut the bacon and cut the sausage himself. Tang Yu didn't think much about it, who knew that Tang Yu's knife had just cut bacon, Tang Yu tried his best, and the first piece of bacon was cut out, Tang Yu looked at Ah Jiang in surprise, Tang Yu said: "This... ”

Ah Jiang snickered and said, "It's okay, cut slowly, I'll wait for you." After Tang Yu cut a few pieces of bacon in a row, he changed his technique, and after a while, the bacon was cut, and Tang Yu's thumb left a deep knife mark.

Ah Jiang saw that Tang Yu's face was wrong, and he asked, "Does it hurt?" Then, picking up the bacon and sausage and going to Ao Jin to receive the merit, Tang Yu found that he was on the other party's way at this time. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Ah Jiang taught Tang Yu to brush the pot, that is, to use peanut oil to brush a layer of oil on each disposable lunch box and porcelain bowl.

Tang Yu was embarrassed when he saw it, it was Tang Yu's turn, the speed dropped a lot, Tang Yu needed about 3 seconds for each pot, Ajiang taught Tang Yu the essentials of brushing the pot: that is, gestures to turn in circles, and then throw it away. After Tang Yu focused on imitation, his speed was only half a second slower than Ah Jiang.

At night, Tang Yu walked out of the claypot restaurant, looked at the scenery under the night light, and was full of emotion, whether Tang Yu could have thought of his current situation. Those memories of the past have engraved a brand in Tang Yu's heart, how much I want to tell Tang Yu's own experience with my former classmates, if I do it again, I must work hard, but unfortunately I didn't.
