Han Li had watched a sketch or a cross talk or something like that, and he had forgotten what he was talking about, and he had forgotten who said it, so he remembered a line, saying that Americans' plates are not easy to brush because there is too much butter and they are too greasy.

At this time, according to the instructions of the proprietress, Han Li brushed it, and it didn't feel so difficult to brush, he smiled, put on gloves, and brushed the dishes that had been piled up in the pool.

"Boss, do you think it's okay?"

Han Li grinned and worked hard.

The proprietress has been supervising and nodded, "The brush is very clean, and the work is very good, but the speed should be accelerated, if you are busy, you can't do it so slowly and leisurely, and you will delay the serving, but you will have to deduct your wages." ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Han Li felt that it was fast enough, but since the proprietress was not satisfied, she sped up a little faster and nodded with a smile, "I will definitely brush it faster next time." ”

"Okay, the attitude is very good, young people learn quickly, come, see if you can cut vegetables." ”

The proprietress said it just now.

Americans love to eat chicken breast and chicken thighs, so they need a lot of diced chicken and chicken thighs, and when he picked up the kitchen knife, Han Li was vague and didn't do it.

To change the knife for the chicken thigh, it is to cut the seam, it's okay, cut into cubes, it's slow to death.

"Haven't you done it at home?"

"Well, no. ”

Han Li was embarrassed.

The proprietress said: "Then I can only give you two thousand three dollars, and the other three hundred will be given to the others, who are responsible for dicing them, and you, who are responsible for cutting the chicken legs, and when the guests start to come, they will be responsible for washing the dishes, you know?"

"yes, okay. ”

Unequivocally agreed.

It's good to have money to make.

The proprietress was happy, "That's it, come, change your clothes." "Took to the locker room, found a white chef's suit, and some tools needed.

Everyone's tools were different, and they were responsible for preserving them, the gloves for brushing dishes, and the knives for cutting chicken legs were all kept by Han Li himself.

"Don't lose it, if you lose it, you have to accompany it, you know?"

"Yes, hostess. ”

"Okay. ”

The proprietress became more and more happy, so she said, "Then let's go, cut the chicken legs, well, cut a hundred and you can rest, even if you go to work on the first day today, you will be paid at the end of the month." ”

"Well, good. ”

Han Li was completely obedient when he first arrived, huddled in the corner of the kitchen, cutting them one by one, in fact, he was not tired, of course, the first day, everything he did was fresh.

I happily cut thirty or forty hours.

Han Li's arms were a little tired.

At this time, a boy who was about the same age as Han Li walked over and said, "Brother, you have decided to stay, hmph, this proprietress is dark, the salary of other restaurants is more than three thousand dollars, we are only two thousand six, and as long as you make a slight mistake, you will deduct the money, it would be good to have two thousand dollars in hand, in the United States, you can't do anything." ”

"Well, I just want to have a place to stay. ”

Han Li smiled awkwardly.

Look at this little brother's face, the black and slightly ugly, small eyes, and big mouth are really not very good, but I feel very enthusiastic.

"What about you, since you know that there are few drives, why don't you leave? ”

"Oh, we are from the same village, his husband is my second uncle, my mother asked me to work hard, our salary is a year, 30,000 US dollars a year, usually give some pocket money, anyway, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, so I did it here." ”

"Oh, that's pretty much it. ”

"So, do you say the boss lady picks!"

The little brother shook his head, "When there are more people, they are busy to death, and when there are fewer people, they also let you distribute flyers and pull customers, which can exhaust individuals." "I complained vigorously at that one.

Han Li didn't care, he just wanted to get acquainted with life in the United States first, so he didn't think about it, and said happily: "Okay, my name is Han Li, what about you, what is your name." ”

"My name is Zhang Nan. ”

It's kind of an acquaintance.

In the following days, Han Li would brush the plates in the Chinese restaurant, and at the end of the day, a thousand plates were less, and the chicken thighs had to be cut into about three hundred.

It's definitely a physical job.

At the end of the day.

Han Li's waist hurt, he returned to the dormitory, lay there, didn't want to move, he was tired and stupid, fortunately, Han Li grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, and he had suffered hardships, so he was able to persevere.

Soothing, living such a day.

Slowly for the composition of the Hunan restaurant, I also understand, this restaurant has been decades, the 80s out of the tide of going abroad, this is originally a Hunan restaurant, but the craftsmanship is not good.

The owner, who started as a chef here, has taken the plate, and this is what it is today, and on the main road of Chinatown, it is now the second generation of the owner's son to start the business.

But the boss's son is a lazy person, and he basically doesn't come to the store, so here the proprietress has the final say, there are three chefs, more than ten assistant chefs, and of course Han Li is also one of them.

There are five juniors in the front hall, three men and two women, all of whom are relatives of the boss's wife's family, and the boss's relatives are basically in the back kitchen, forming two factions.

Zhang Nan, whom Han Li knew, was such a person, the boss faction was more suppressed, to put it bluntly, the work was more tiring, and the boss's wife was more idle.

But it was Han Li who was most tired.

Brush the dishes, brush the dishes.

In particular, there were knives and forks, which accidentally injured his hand, making Han Li very embarrassed, and after three days, he couldn't lift his arm.

His fingers were covered with all sorts of small wounds.

"Persistence, persistence, persistence, let's do it. ”

Half a month.

Every day I am tired and sore, and when I go home, I don't think about anything, I just sleep, I wake up, I work, and slowly my body gets used to it, and my head is familiar, and I feel that the days are still okay.

The main thing is to wait for the news of the green card.

Han Li had a green card before he could apply for a bank card, and it was impossible to look at a bank card without an identity in the United States, so he waited for this opportunity to test his scolded magic skills.

As a result, this day.

A group of people suddenly came to the hotel, shouting and drinking, tattooed, tall and burly, shouting, "What about your boss, it's time to pay for it." ”

"Oh, I'll call you. ”

Zhang Nan ran to the rest room on the second floor.

At this moment, the proprietress who usually yelled at five and six nodded with a smile, "It's Second Brother Kong, you are here, and the money has already been prepared." ”

A big red envelope was handed over.

"You're still sensible. ”

Happily gone.

Han Li was curious, "What kind of money, it seems that protection money is collected in Hong Kong movies." ”

"It's just to collect protection money, hum, to open a store in Chinatown in the United States, you have to pay protection money, but it's just a different name, it's just called member money. ”

"That's true. ”

Han Li had heard in various reports and movies that it was necessary to pay protection money to open a store in Chinatown in the United States, but he did not expect to witness it with his own eyes, "Does the government take care of it? Isn't the U.S. government very powerful, why do you still pay it?" ”

"If you don't really burn your shop, it's amazing. ”

Zhang Nan whispered: "The entire Chinatown of San Francisco is under their control, called the Hong Gang. ”

"The Hong Gang?! is the Hong Gang during the Qing Dynasty!"

"Yes, that's them. ”

Han Li nodded, "The whole of San Francisco is their territory, Chinatown is only a part, it's very powerful, hum, every store has to be paid, of course, if you run into trouble, you can also find them." ”

"That's right. ”

Han Li felt interesting.

smiled, when she came, Sister Snake said that she could find the old snake's friend if she fell to San Francisco, and the old snake's friend must be the underworld, could it be that it is from the Hong Gang.

There is a door.

I also began to pay special attention to the hope of getting rid of the dishwasher as soon as possible.

If you can enter the Hong Gang, it will be a chance to get ahead.

But Han Li basically brushes dishes and cuts chicken legs in the back kitchen every day, and rarely has the opportunity to come to the front desk, and there are not many opportunities, but as long as he has this heart, he will slowly have the opportunity to come into contact.

Han Li didn't worry.

Anyway, he made an appointment with Zhang Lu, Gu Dayong and others, and he just went back in four years, and he also enjoyed this time with a smile, although he was tired, although he was tired.

But there are some gains.

Like what.

English, I can practice English while brushing the dishes when I have nothing to do, and I can also communicate with foreigners, and I come and go for a month.

English has reached the point where it can communicate normally.

Therefore, Han Li was also very relieved, waiting, looking for opportunities, anyway, he had no worries about eating and drinking, and he was also happy.
