Chapter 443: Waiting for the Lantern Festival (3)
Tan Weizhou's cooking movements are very slow, it looks like a video that has been adjusted to 0.5 times the speed, and everything he does is slow, with a kind of slowness of the elderly.
Jiang Feng glanced at the wall clock on the wall when he was wandering around the Tan family's small restaurant before, it was not yet 4 o'clock, and most restaurants did not open until 5 o'clock, and the private restaurants were more casual, even if they opened at 6 or 7 o'clock, no diners would say anything.
Tan Weizhou has to be busy from 3 o'clock, just because he is the only chef in the Tan family's restaurant.
Compared with Ji Xue, who is responsible for washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, doing some other chores, cleaning, and even washing dishes, Tan Weizhou's work is actually much more.
In order to prevent outsiders from stealing Tan Weizhou's tile altar carved chicken, Tan Lin and his daughter-in-law never let others participate in the production of tile altar carved chicken, and even wished that every dish was only handled by Tan Weizhou, completely ignoring whether Tan Weizhou, who was in his 60s, could eat it physically.
This kind of son is not as good as giving birth to a char siu.
Halfway through, Jiang Feng left the back kitchen and went to the front desk to shake around, saying that he was going to sit at the front desk and watch TV with a smile on his lips and say that he was going to go and help Wenwen, who might have been called by Tan Weizhou's granddaughter to help, and forgot everything he had just said.
When Jiang Feng returned to the back kitchen again, Ji Xue had already finished cutting the dishes and washing the dishes-the bowls left over after the Tan family's restaurant opened at noon had been piled up in the pool and not washed, Jiang Feng didn't know what Tan Lin and his daughter-in-law were thinking about every day, did they still want Tan Weizhou to be in charge of washing the dishes?
What Jiang Feng didn't know was that Tan Lin certainly didn't have the whimsy to think that he could let his father, who was in his 60s, wash the dishes by the way after cooking, but he had a daughter.
From the resignation of Sister Hong, the helper invited by the Tan family restaurant, to the long time that Ji Xue came to work today, it has always been Tan Wenwen who washes the dishes.
Tan Lin can not only squeeze his father, but also his daughter.
Ji Xue finished washing the dishes, and she didn't know what she could do.
Tan's small restaurant has a good reputation in the city, as long as you are in the catering industry, you know it, and Ji Xue has already heard of it. She was a little afraid of Tan Lin's daughter-in-law, and she was also a little afraid of Tan Weizhou.
"That Master Tan, I... What do I need to do now?" asked Ji Xue.
Tan Weizhou had been doing the preliminary preparations for the tile altar flower carving chicken before, and he didn't pay attention to what Ji Xue was doing, and when he saw Ji Xue asking him, he looked towards Ji Xue and found that Ji Xue not only cut vegetables, but also washed dishes.
"Little girl, in fact, you don't have to wash ......" Tan Weizhou said to his mouth, and suddenly remembered something, and the expression on his face looked a little tangled, "If you want, wash it." ”
"And what about me now?" Ji Xue then asked.
"Do you know how to cut meat?" Tan Weizhou asked.
"Yes!" Ji Xue nodded impatiently.
"Cut that piece of beef, shreds. Tan Weizhou said.
Jixue begins to cut beef.
Ji Xue was burying her head in cutting beef seriously, and she didn't notice that Tan Weizhou actually stopped what she was doing to watch her cut, Tan Weizhou looked at it for a while, his originally serious expression soothed a lot, and he continued to do his own thing.
Until more than 5 o'clock, Tan's small restaurant began to have guests who had booked in advance. Tan Lin's daughter-in-law came in a few times to ask about the dishes, but she didn't have any intention of helping, and every time she went out after asking. When the dishes were ready, Ji Xue took them out, and she worked as a kitchen staff and waiter, but she didn't get two salaries.
Tan Wenwen finally came to the Tan family's restaurant at more than seven o'clock, and she came to wash the dishes. As soon as Tan Wenwen stepped into the door of the Tan family's restaurant, she was grabbed by her mother and pulled into the warehouse to scold, and then rushed to the back kitchen to help. Tan Wenwen shrugged her face throughout the whole process until before eating, and she didn't have any communication with Ji Xue.
It wasn't until more than eight o'clock in the evening that Tan Lin was late with his son. Tan Lin has these two children, Tan Wenwen is a few years older than Ji Xue, and his son looks a few years older than Ji Xia, and the age difference between the Tan family sisters and brothers should be about the same as that of the Ji family sisters.
The dinner is still made by Tan Weizhou, which is quite sumptuous, probably because of the Chinese New Year, there are all kinds of fish, meat and seafood, and the plate of boiled shrimp in the center of the table is extremely beautifully arranged.
"Why did you come back so late, and you went out to fool around with your son. Tan Lin's daughter-in-law was dissatisfied, Tan Lin came to the food so late and no one helped to help with the dishes, although it was only 6 tables of dishes, but she still felt very dissatisfied.
Although she was dissatisfied with her husband, she still smiled happily in the face of her son Tan Lin's daughter-in-law, and the smile she showed could be regarded as the most sincere and brilliant smile Jiang Feng had since he saw her today.
"Rui Rui, did your dad take you to the zoo today?"
"Happy!"
Tan Wenwen's face became a little gloomy when she looked at it from the side, obviously sulking.
"Didn't the zoo close at 6 o'clock, why did you come back so late?" Tan Lin's daughter-in-law instantly changed her face when she faced Tan Lin.
"It's not that Rui Rui is clamoring to eat barbecue, and if he orders and doesn't eat, I'll eat it all by myself, let me see what I'm eating today. Oh, Dad, why do you burn this for the New Year, this boiled shrimp is usually eaten for the New Year, can't you change to a new trick to burn?" Don't look at Tan Lin who doesn't work, but his requirements are quite high.
After complaining about the dishes on the table, Tan Lin noticed Ji Xue, Tan Lin was also there when Ji Xue came to apply for the job last time, and when he saw him coming, he knew what was happening, and without saying a word, he dragged his daughter-in-law into the warehouse.
The door was not closed tightly when it was closed.
"That girl is here today?" Tan Lin asked.
"yes, I'm here this afternoon. Why, you're still not happy? I haven't seen you do a favor in the store, I have to go to the back kitchen to wash and chop vegetables when I'm tired of serving food every day, Wenwen's dead girl doesn't know where to run today, and she didn't come until more than seven o'clock. ”
"Who wants to hear you say this, how is she in the back kitchen this afternoon?" Tan Lin was obviously a little impatient to listen to his daughter-in-law talk nonsense.
"What's the matter, I don't know, I'm not in the back kitchen. ”
"Didn't you stay in the back kitchen?" Tan Lin suddenly raised his voice, and the people outside instantly heard it more clearly, "You just let that girl stay in the back kitchen with her father for an afternoon? Do you know if she came to sneak a peek, so you are so relieved to let her stay with her father?"
"It's just a little girl, what can you learn secretly?"
"What are you learning secretly? Now the girl is shrewd, on the surface she looks honest, but behind the scenes, she doesn't know what she looks like. I remember that her family runs a restaurant, and her peers are enemies, do you understand?"
"Okay, okay, why are you so loud, be careful to be heard by outsiders. I'll go to the back kitchen tomorrow, and you'll be outside the store. ”
"Isn't there still Wenwen, what am I doing in the store? ”
“......”
The couple chatted vigorously in the warehouse, but the people outside were extremely embarrassed, Tan Weizhou had a gloomy face, and Ji Xue blushed, I don't know if it was because of shame or anger. Even Tan Wenwen, who had been unhappy before, looked a little embarrassed at this time, embarrassed to look at Ji Xue, so she could only pretend to be deeply attracted by the dishes on the table, and kept staring at the plate of boiled shrimp.
Tan Rui didn't react at a young age, sitting at the dinner table and waiting for the meal to start.
After a while, the couple came out of the warehouse, their faces were as usual, completely unaware that the wonderful conversation between the two of them had been heard clearly by outsiders.
"Well, boss, can I pack some food to take home. My sister is still at home, it's too late, my parents are not at home, I'm afraid she'll be at home alone. Ji Xue whispered, lowering her head.
Tan Lin's daughter-in-law was a little unhappy, and her tone was not very good: "The packing boxes in the store are used up." ”
"I have a lunch box in the kitchen, you can use my lunch box to pack it back, and return it to me tomorrow, and if you want to pack it in the future, you can bring your own lunch box. Tan Wenwen suddenly spoke.
"Thank you. ”
"There's still a little bit of fried leftovers in the kitchen and you can pack the kitchen away. Tan Weizhou said.
"Thank you. ”
"Dad, why do you fry too much when you stir-fry? What a waste, besides, if you fry too much, you can just put it on a plate and serve it out, and everyone can eat it together." Tan Lin had something to say at this time.
Tan Weizhou glanced at him: "Didn't you say it before, don't let me fool you with leftovers?"
Tan Lin coughed a little embarrassed.
Tan Wenwen led Ji Xue into the back kitchen and took out a pink plastic lunch box from the cabinet.
"When I go to school, I usually use this lunch box to bring lunch to school, and my grandfather doesn't feel at ease letting me eat the food in the cafeteria, he always feels that the canteen food is not clean. Tan Wenwen explained.
There was a plate on the kitchen table, and there were some leftover dishes from Tan Weizhou's previous stir-fry on the plate. In fact, it is just some leftovers, the taste is not different, but the appearance is not good-looking, it is inconvenient to use it on the plate, there are meat and vegetables, and they are piled together on the plate like a hodgepodge.
Tan Wenwen helped Ji Xue scoop half a box of lunch into the lunch box, then poured all the dishes into the lunch box and handed the lunch box to her.
"Hurry back, I didn't talk to you just now because I had an opinion about you, because I was in a bad mood, thank you for helping me wash the dishes at noon. Tan Weiwei said.
"Thank you. Ji Xue whispered, smiling at Tan Wenwen.
