Chapter 1 Heirlooms
"Night search, hurry up, hurry up, the guests in the No. 3 private room need a piece of jade white jade soup, and they have to work!"
Ye Xun, who was sitting in the kitchen and dozing off, was just about to make out with his school flower goddess in a dream, when a thunderous voice suddenly sounded, making Ye Xun a spirit and almost fell on his head.
Ye Xun opened his hazy eyes, and a chubby figure stood in front of him, which turned out to be the head chef Wang Fatzi.
"Okay, okay, I know, isn't it cabbage and radish soup, I have to give it the name of jade and white jade soup, I don't know which one is wronged this time!"
Ye Xun muttered impatiently, and began to prepare the ingredients needed for the "Jade White Jade Soup" very skillfully, a few cabbages and radishes that had been in the kitchen warehouse for a week, almost rotting and spoiling.
"Hey, Xiao Xunzi, this is called packaging, understand! In a hotel as tall as ours, the name of the dish is naturally high, the same cabbage and radish soup, the price of a few dollars in the small restaurant outside, hehe, but after our packaging, jade and white jade soup, one hundred and eighty-eight, this profit, tsk!" Wang Fatzi proudly showed off to Yexun.
"Okay, fatty, your jade white jade soup, one hundred and eighty-eight, no matter how much you earn, Lao Tzu will only have a salary of eight hundred yuan!"
A simple dish like "Jade White Jade Soup", even without Wang Fatzi's shot, the night search for this miscellaneous, three times five divided by two, a few minutes later, a large bowl of beautifully decorated, steaming jade white jade soup was served away by the waiter waiting outside.
Ye Xun, a student of the "famous" New Western Chef Technical School of the Republic, works part-time in this famous star-rated hotel to supplement daily expenses because of living constraints.
As for Wang Fatzi, he can be regarded as Wang Dong's senior, who graduated a year earlier than Ye Xun, because his brother-in-law is a manager in this hotel, he can be mixed into this kind of star-rated hotel as a chef, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, and a commission, so he is not free to nourish.
Although Wang Fatzi looks like a profiteer, his cooking skills are not bad, and he is not bad for Ye Xun, otherwise, Ye Xun may not have the opportunity to come here to work part-time and do chores, after all, this is a famous star hotel in the provincial capital and a designated reception place for the provincial government.
"Xiao Xunzi, when you graduate from the New West, I will tell my brother-in-law to let you become a regular and at least double your salary!"
Wang Fatzi lit a cigarette, hooked up Ye Xun's shoulder, patted his chest, and said very righteously.
"Well, thanks, fatty!"
Ye Xun nodded, knowing that Wang Fatzi had no malicious intentions, and he didn't care about the joking title of "Little Xunzi", and even felt a trace of warmth and gratitude.
However, as soon as I talked about this New Western Chef Technical School, Ye Xun was angry, saying that the "New West" was famous in the Republic, which is indeed true, because now when I turn on the TV, there are advertisements for the "New West" all over the world.
However, the "New West" said that if it is spent, it will not be a technical school that will not enter the stream, and you can sign up after graduating from high school, and you can go to it as long as you pay the money, and those who come will not refuse, it is not even as good as Pheasant University.
Originally, Ye Xun's grades were not bad, even if he couldn't go to a key university, he still got nine out of ten in the exam and the like, but the old man in the family forced Ye Xun to learn to cook, saying that the ancestors of the night family were palace chefs, and the ancestral skills and inheritance could not be lost, and if you don't learn to cook, you will forget your roots.
As soon as he talked about his ancestors, Ye Xun couldn't help but pout, what a palace kitchen, God knows if it's true or fake, anyway, according to his grandfather, when he broke the four olds, his family was confiscated, and even the family tree was lost, not to mention any craftsmanship and inheritance.
"Xiao Xunzi, there isn't much business now, I'm going to take a nap, something calls me!"
Yexun and Wang Fatzi are on the night shift, and the guests and business in the hotel are less than during the day, seeing that there is nothing to do, Wang Fatzi smiled sheepishly, patted Yexun's shoulder, yawned, and went directly to the room next to the kitchen, and went to sleep.
"Hmm!" Yaxun nodded.
After Wang Fatzi left, in the huge kitchen, only one person was left in the night, and the silence was hairy. Ye Xun, who has nothing to do, unnaturally recalls the events of a few months ago in his mind.
A few months ago, the old man was critically ill, and the neighbor notified Ye Xun to go to the end, and when Ye Xun rushed home overnight, the old man on the occasion of his death cherished and handed Ye Xun a family heirloom, a rusty and strange kitchen knife.
According to the old man, except for the four olds, everything in the family was confiscated, leaving only such an inconspicuous heirloom kitchen knife, the origin of this kitchen knife, even the grandfather of Ye Xun could not tell, only knew that when the ancestors of the Chinese New Year's Eve family were in the palace as a royal cook, they owned this kitchen knife, which has always been regarded as the heirloom of the Ye family.
After the old man died, there was only one person left in the night family, and the small shop had already been transferred because of the old man's medical treatment.
"Is this a kitchen knife? But the shape seems to be quite simple, not like a modern thing, it is not an antique! It seems that there is a chance to go to the antique store to have a look, is it valuable!"
Ye Xun thought about it, and took out the palm-sized kitchen knife, the kitchen knife was quaint, with a strange shape, somewhat similar to a dragon, and it was extraordinary at first glance, and Ye Xun began to suspect that it was an antique.
This made Ye Xun's eyes light up, and he started the idea of this kitchen knife, even if it was an ancestral heirloom, he couldn't manage it so much, who made himself poor and couldn't open the pot, not to mention that there was a butt of debts, and it was a usurious debt, the bald old man said, if he didn't pay back the money, he would let himself go to the sea to feed the fish.
"The ancestors of the Ye family, you will definitely be considerate of me, and you don't want to watch the Ye family break off!"
Ye Xun began to pray in his heart, the bald sixth is not easy to mess with, it is said that there are several lives under his hands, and it is black and white, Ye Xun doesn't think that the bald sixth is scaring himself.
"Hmm, what a taste!"
Suddenly, an extremely pungent smell came into Ye Xun's nose, which made Ye Xun slightly stunned, and subconsciously began to look for the source of the smell, which turned out to be the hotel storage room not far from the kitchen.
"Damn, it's on fire!"
Soon, Ye Xun not only smelled the more and more pungent smoke, but also saw the increasingly fierce fire, and it was on fire.
This sudden fire burned very fast, soon covering the entire corridor, and blocking the exit of the kitchen, the kitchen was soon covered with black smoke, and the oxygen in the air was drastically reduced, making Ye Xun begin to feel short of breath and chest tightness.
"Fatty, fatty, it's on fire, run!
Thanks to the common sense of self-help that has been popularized since kindergarten, Ye Xun picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, soaked it, covered his mouth and nose, bent over, and crawled forward, ready to escape. Of course, before escaping, I didn't forget to call the fat man who was sleeping, but I pushed open the room next to the kitchen, and there was no figure without a fat man.
Ye Xun knows that this star-rated hotel is famous for eating, drinking and playing, Wang Fatzi relies on the relationship between his brother-in-law, and often enjoys free happiness in the entertainment club on the top floor of the hotel.
"Damn, Lao Tzu's life matters, the fire in this corridor is too big to work, it seems that you can only take the emergency exit!"
Ye Xun observed the fire in front of him, and decided to take the emergency exit of the hotel, but Ye Xun wasted all his strength, and when he came to the emergency exit of the hotel, the emergency exit door was locked.
"Damn, who is so lacking in morality, even the emergency exit is locked, how did the fire inspection of this hotel pass!"
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Ye Xun had an urge to scold his mother, but the fire behind him was getting stronger and stronger, and the back road had already been blocked, and there was no other way out except to break the door.
"Someone hasn't, open the door, it's on fire, help!"
The fire is getting closer and closer to Ye Xun, the hot air and less and less oxygen make Ye Xun's forehead break out in cold sweat, his chest rises and falls violently and he gasps, and his brain's thinking seems to be half a beat slower, Ye Xun knows that this is a physiological reaction to the lack of oxygen in the brain.
The instinct of survival, let Ye Xun desperately slap on the emergency exit door in front of him, hoping that a miracle can be born, hoping that someone can show the fire here and help Ye Xun open the emergency exit, but everything is in vain, the silent night, except for the cry for help of Ye Xun and the burning sound of the fire getting closer and closer, there is no other sound, as if Ye Xun has been forgotten by the whole world.
"Boom!"
Under the burning of the fire, the entire emergency passage was overwhelmed and collapsed directly, and Ye Xun exclaimed, and was buried by countless ruins in an instant.
"Little Xunzi!"
I don't know if it's a hallucination, at the last moment, Ye Xun vaguely saw that the door of the emergency passage was finally opened, revealing the sweaty Wang Fat Man outside the door, screaming anxiously.
However, it was too late, and it was one step away.
