Chapter 13: Applying for a Chef
Song Tao describes himself as a chef and is 25 years old this year.
Why self-proclaimed?
Because he has never studied with a teacher, let alone a good chef.
The only systematic skill I have ever had is that I have been cooking in a stewed noodle stir-fry restaurant for two years and two years of smooth cooking, and I learned it by watching the master of the pot stir-fry.
This year, he talked about a girlfriend.
The girlfriend is beautiful and lovely, but the cost is a little too much.
As a shuncai, his salary is only about 3,000 yuan a month, and he can't afford to support his girlfriend at all.
In addition, it has not been very pleasant to do in the store recently, well, Song Tao decided to find another job.
The first thing he aimed at was 68.com.
Just now, he saw a recruitment information on the 68 website: "10,000 salary is looking for a chef, you can ...... if you can stir-fry"
Well?
10,000 yuan!
The salary was so high that it was suffocating, so high that he almost instinctively wanted to close the page, because he felt that he couldn't do it.
10,000 yuan, in the 13-year-old third-tier city of Nandu, is definitely the level of a chef in a four- or five-star hotel.
But when he saw the request behind him, his whole heart beat throbbing.
Can you stir-fry?
It seems that this one is very simple!
Song Tao thought hard.
Although I haven't been cooking lotus and shun vegetables in a braised noodle restaurant for several years, my family is poor, and I have been cooking for my father and mother since I was a child, and I don't know everything about the pot stove.
Besides, if I haven't eaten pork, I've always seen a pig run.
He also knows better than anyone else about the stove in the kitchen.
So, why don't you go over and try it yourself?
Stir-fry, I will too!
Song Tao cleaned up and rode the little donkey in the direction indicated in the address.
After about ten minutes of riding, he reached the approximate position where he was, and made all kinds of judgments about it in his heart.
Downtown.
Well, it's a bit biased, how did I turn two big corners outside the gate of the community, this is a complete dead end.
What's more, there is not a single restaurant around, and it is very difficult to do business in this kind of place!
Soon, Song Tao found the words 'chili fried meat' with the headlights on in broad daylight.
Turning on the lights in broad daylight is really a trench.
Song Tao parked the little donkey, and then walked in with some trepidation.
The decoration here is very ordinary, the chandeliers are very ordinary, and the surrounding walls are also painted with latex paint, although they are white, but there is no restaurant atmosphere.
The tables and chairs are even more of a mess, and they are simply the most inferior tables, chairs and benches that sell fried rice noodles on the roadside.
The most important thing is that the tables, chairs and benches are so densely placed, not to mention that the guests come to eat, even if it is him Song Tao, after coming in at this moment, he feels that the level of experience is extremely poor.
He inevitably had some doubts, could such a store really initiate a salary of 10,000 yuan a month?
Immediately afterwards, Song Tao's eyes locked on a table in the center of the hotel.
In front of the table, there sat a young man dressed in black, with black hair but handsome facial features.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that on the table in front of the young man, a thick hundred-dollar bill is placed!
There is also a cardboard standing next to it, with a line of words written on it: "If the application is successful, one month's salary will be paid immediately." ”
Well.
Song Tao is sure that this is a place that can indeed pay 10,000 yuan a month's salary!
However, it seems that the competitiveness is a bit small.
Opposite the young man, there were two people sitting, both of them were filled with the familiar smell of kitchen oil, and they looked like and behaved, and they were definitely chefs.
Song Tao felt a little unsure in his heart, can he really apply?
He found an empty stool and sat down.
"Master, please introduce yourself. The handsome young man played with the hundred-yuan bill in his hand and said to the cooks: "From the basic salary of 10,000 yuan, if I am excellent in all aspects, I can continue to increase my salary, and I will pay in advance, so I don't need to worry that I can't pay my salary." ”
Looking at the hundred-yuan bill, listening to him say that he could continue to increase his salary, the group's eyes were staring.
Although this boss said in a somewhat dragging tone.
But there is no way, who wants to live with money?
You know, although the head chef of other big hotels can also get such a high salary, which one doesn't pressure your half-month salary, and then there are a lot of rules, if you have something to deduct, it's okay to deduct it again.
And the little boss in front of him is paying his salary in advance!
Therefore, people have the capital to drag.
"I am 47 years old this year, and when I was 16 years old, my father sent me to Sichuan to worship the master. In addition, I have also studied Cantonese cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Shandong cuisine, and I am relatively proficient in them. I worked as a chef in a four-star hotel in Jingzhou, and I received a salary of 14,000 at the highest, and now I am almost satisfied with the salary of 10,000 when I go back to my hometown to take care of the elderly. ”
The first interviewer was a master, who spoke with confidence: "I don't dare to guarantee anything else, and I don't want to say anything, I can go to the back kitchen and fry two dishes for you to taste, if it feels good, you will leave me, and if it doesn't feel good, I will leave by myself." ”
Hearing the introduction of the master, Song Tao in the back felt cold.
Competitiveness...... It's too big!
He is a person who has never even touched a real restaurant stove, but how can he compare with a master who has been working for 30 years.
And this master also worked as a chef in a four-star hotel in Jingzhou.
Emma, it can't be compared, it really can't be compared.
Just when Song Tao was very unhappy in his heart, he heard that the handsome young man made such a promise.
"Don't try, you're too qualified...... My store is small, I can't afford you, thank you. ”
The old master looked confused, and seemed to want to continue trying to fight for opportunities: "Huh...... I only need about 10,000 yuan for a salary!"
"I really don't need it, please go back, thank you. ”
Then, Song Tao saw the roaring old master, standing up with a depressed and strange face, and sitting in a remote place in the store.
The old master is now extremely depressed in his heart.
Isn't it a good thing to have high qualifications?
The salary I want is not high, and it is ...... to brush me off in this way Unable to complain!
I'm going to see here, I can't have an old credential like me, and who else can pass your interview here!
Soon, the second interviewer came up.
"I'm Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, I don't have the qualifications of that master, I worked for three years, played lotus for three years, and then I have been making stir-fried vegetables. I'm not a head chef or a master chef, but I personally think the stir-fried dishes are pretty good...... I did it a year ago at the 'Old Fashioned Yellow Braised Chicken' in the West, and I was paid 8,000 at the time. Just three months ago, they fired me because I was paid a lot. ”
"I think we're quite suitable here, if I can go to the back kitchen and stir-fry two dishes for us, let's try them." ”
He was a fat man, but he seemed very energetic.
Probably absorbing the elimination experience of the previous master, this guy is very low-key and doesn't boast too much about himself.
But!
