Chapter 1: Winning the lottery
The back kitchen of the WhiteWater Hotel.
"Hua Jitian, you have been dismissed, this is your salary this month, three hundred and twenty-one eight. "Qin Yong, the head chef who is fatter than a pig, has thrown away a few pieces of money, there are bits and pieces, not a single cent, and it seems to be a lot.
"Why did you fire me?" Hua Jitian looked incredulous, with a trace of pain in his eyes.
"Why? Because my brother-in-law came to work in Whitewater City, we have to make a place in the back kitchen, and I will look for it, and it is only you. Qin Yong said very bluntly, obviously not taking Hua Jitian in his eyes.
Hua Jitian was silent.
Three years after coming to Baishui City, he has been working in the kitchen of this star-rated hotel, and the salary is very low, only 500 yuan a month. He endured low wages, hoping to learn a little cooking, then open a small restaurant in the suburbs of Whitewater, marry and have children.
But now, I didn't learn how to cook, and I was fired.
He was cautious for three years, but he didn't expect the result to be like this, Hua Jitian was a little angry.
When he came to Whitewater City three years ago, he was just 16 years old, and he was introduced by his fellow villagers to learn how to cook in this restaurant. Qin Yong saw that he was young, so he bullied him, and only let him be in charge of the raw anvil, that is, cutting vegetables and potatoes.
Cut for three years and got nothing.
"Take the money and go. "Qin Yong drove people away.
It was almost noon, and the guests began to eat in the store, and if Hua Jitian made a fuss and delayed the guests' dinner, although Qin Yong was not afraid, it was difficult to explain to the leader.
"Chef Qin, Xiaotian has been with us for three years, there is nothing wrong, and he is willing to work hard. Keep him, the salary is not high anyway. Uncle Wang, who was in charge of killing fish and chickens in Shuitai, spoke for Hua Jitian.
"Wang Youwen, you beep less, don't look at your age, you have worked here for more than ten years longer than me, and you don't use chickens. Here, in the back kitchen, Lao Tzu has the final say, and it is not your turn to speak, so I provoke Lao Tzu and drive you away. Qin Yong ignored Uncle Wang's dissuasion.
With a lot of heavenly heart, he snatched the money in Qin Yong's hand, which is not much, but it is also his hard-earned money.
Hua Jitian said to Uncle Wang: "Forget Uncle Wang, I am a young man with hands and feet, where can I not find a job." ”
Uncle Wang sighed, stopped talking, stepped forward and patted Hua Jitian on the shoulder, and then turned to work.
Everyone else was still around to watch the excitement, they were all gloating, none of them came out to help say a good word, even the young man who had a good relationship with Hua Jitian didn't speak, in fact, others were soft-spoken, and it was useless to speak.
Hua Jitian also has a little cook with the best relationship, and he went back to his hometown today from work. If he is here, he will definitely say a few good words for Hua Jitian like Uncle Wang.
"Yes, security guards, it's okay to move bricks and do chores, but in the culinary world of Whitewater City, no one will ask for your number again. Aren't you hard-mouthed, I can't let you do this business. Qin Yong smiled gloomily.
Qin Yong is in the culinary world of Baishuicheng, he is also the number one person, and he knows other chefs who are a little famous, since he said this, then the back kitchen of the star-rated hotel in Baishuicheng will basically no longer use Huajitian.
As for small and medium-sized restaurants, as long as Hua Jitian wants to do it, it is naturally no problem, and he Qin Yong can't manage it so widely.
But from the back kitchen of a five-star hotel to a small and medium-sized restaurant, the gap is too big, and I'm afraid no one will do it.
Therefore, the road after Hua Jitian is basically to change careers and do other work.
Hua Jitian heard that Qin Yong was going to kill them all, and his eyes were red: "I'll go to you, mom, Qin Yong." The master has cut vegetables for you for three years, where is it not good?" he let go, even if Qin Yong asked people to beat him, he would scold Qin Yong.
When Qin Yong heard that Hua Jitian dared to scold him, he was furious: "Boy, look for a beating." ”
There are two Qin Yong's henchmen, and they are about to do it when they come up.
Everyone else advised: "A colleague, why bother." They just moved their mouths to persuade them, but no one came up to stop them, they were all afraid of Qin Yong's retaliation, so they gave them small shoes.
At this moment, on the intercom, the manager's voice sounded: "What are you doing?" The guests are starting to get to the table, so hurry up and get to work. ”
The people around all dispersed, Qin Yong's two henchmen looked at Qin Yong, Qin Yong shook his head slightly, signaling not to do anything for the time being. So the two henchmen also went to work.
Qin Yong said: "Hua Jitian, you wait." ”
Hua Jitian smiled angrily: "The master is scared." He walked out of the back kitchen without looking back.
Hua Jitian came to the street and was at a loss. He didn't know where his future lay be. He looked at the more than three hundred yuan in his hand and smiled bitterly.
After learning to cook for three years, in the end there are more than 300 yuan left, it is better to be a small security guard three years ago, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of yuan in savings now.
Now that I've been dismissed, I'm definitely going to move out of my dorm today. Even if Hua Jitian didn't want to move, Qin Yong probably wouldn't agree. Qin Yong is responsible for renting the dormitory, and the people in the back kitchen basically live there, and Qin Yong occasionally lives there.
Hua Jitian didn't have much clothes and luggage, and it wasn't difficult to pack up, but he was depressed and didn't want to pack his things.
He found a small restaurant, went in and ordered two side dishes, and asked for a bottle of Erguotou.
Hua Jitian borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and after a while, a bottle of two pots reached the bottom.
Hua Jitian was dizzy and fell asleep on the table.
I don't know when, he was woken up by the owner of the restaurant: "Little brother, it's not early, wake up quickly." ”
Hua Jitian opened his eyes, glanced at the wall clock hanging on the dirty wall, and was taken aback, it was already past two o'clock.
When he arrived at the tavern, it was about eleven o'clock, and he spent at most half an hour drinking, which means that he slept for about three hours.
Hua Jitian got up and asked the boss to settle the bill.
"Thirty-eight pieces in total. In addition, your luck is good, your bottle of two-pot head won the lottery, and this is the prize. The owner of the hotel finished settling the account and handed Hua Jitian a black jade plaque.
The black jade plaque is half a centimeter thick, the size of a business card, and it is very warm to the touch.
Hua Jitian looked at the jade plate and said strangely: "What is this?"
"I don't know, this kind of two-pot jackpot prize is all in the box, whoever buys the wine, I will give him what. "The bistro owner was down-to-earth.
The restaurant owner holds a two-pot wine bottle cap. It was on the bottle of wine that Hua Jitian drank, and there were five words written on the cap: square black jade plate.
"I sold hundreds of boxes of two-pot heads, all of which were lighters, toilet paper, playing cards and other prizes. The meal money is thirty-eight in total, and the jade plate is left, and you give me thirty-three. The restaurant owner said.
He didn't think the black jade plate was valuable, he just bought it for fun.
When Hua Jitian heard it, he felt that the strange goods were habitable, and said, "Ten yuan." ”
The restaurant owner smiled: "A bottle of wine is only nine yuan, I just look good, so I bought it, and this kind of plastic brand on the stall is too much, at most two yuan." Ten pieces, five pieces at most, or you can take it. ”
Hua Jitian thought about it, although he was poor to death and unemployed, he was really not short of the five yuan. Maybe it's really a piece of jade, it can be worth hundreds of dollars, and I can make a small fortune.
"Forget it, I'd better keep it for myself. Hua Jitian took out the money to pay the bill, and put the black jade card in his pocket.
The restaurant owner didn't force this black jade brand, and he also threw the wine bottle cap into a drawer, and waited for the wine salesman to come and recycle it together, but he didn't find that the five words on the wine bottle cap had disappeared.
Out of the restaurant, the cold wind blew, and Hua Jitian's originally dizzy mind suddenly cleared up.
It's autumn, the weather is cold, and my heart is cold. The sun is warm, but the years are not so quiet, and many things in the world are unpredictable.
Hua Jitian walked forward, and after a while, he came to Whitewater Square. There are a lot of people in the square, all of them are people who are looking for fun.
He put his hand in his pocket and touched the black jade plate, the tentacles were warm and heavy, not like plastic. His mind moved, and he took it out and played with it.
Hey, there's a little hole in it.
Hua Jitian took a closer look at it. The small hole is too small to see clearly, Hua Jitian's eyes are closer to the jade plate, and the eyelashes are almost rubbing against the jade plate, but he still can't see clearly.
Hua Jitian held up the jade plaque, facing the sun at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and then leaned up to look at it, hoping to see it more clearly.
The sunlight passed through the small hole on the black jade plaque and shone on the pupil of Hua Jitian's right eye, flickering strangely as Hua Jitian's eyes turned.
Hua Jitian looked at the small hole, and was a little surprised, this brand is so exquisite, there are patterns in such a small hole. The pattern is very simple, I can't say what the pattern is, but when I see the pattern, I feel desolate and far away.
Suddenly, a change occurred.
The black jade plaque vanished out of thin air.
Hua Jitian only felt a lightness in his hand, and the jade plate was gone, and he was shocked.
Could it be that he didn't grasp it firmly and fell to the ground, Hua Jitian lowered his head and looked everywhere on the ground, but there was no trace of the jade plate. Even if it falls to the ground, such a big jade plaque must have a sound, right?
The jade plaque disappeared, where did it go?
Hua Jitian was panicking, and a voice sounded in his head, like Hong Zhong Dalu: "The Heaven Mending System has succeeded in recognizing the Lord." ”
"Class B subsystem, clairvoyant eye activation. ”
"Class C subsystem, cooking starts. ”
What the hell? Hua Jitian jumped in fright. Looking at the crowds of people coming and going around them, there is nothing unusual. Obviously, he was the only one who heard it.
Hey, it's cold in the late autumn season, why don't these people wear clothes? It's really shameless, he doesn't even wear underwear, are he, fucking these people having a naked or physical party, do you want to take off and carnival together?
Hua Jitian was about to take off his clothes and hi together, but he felt that he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and found that the people around him were all dressed again, very normal, peaceful and peaceful.
What's going on? Hua Jitian was very surprised.
It happened that a girl with a good figure, slender legs, and a beautiful appearance walked by, and Hua Jitian looked at it intently.
"Big Big Wolf panties, leopard print bras, curious tastes. But the legs are really white, tsk. Hua Jitian muttered.
The girl was startled when she heard Hua Jitian's self-talk, she was indeed wearing gray wolf underwear, leopard print bra, and as for the legs, of course she knew, they were very white.
