Chapter 164: The Art of Refinement (Part 1)
When I returned to the dormitory, I quickly repaired the severed wires, and then the lights in the room came back on, and the light was slightly dazzling.
I hid the rest of the tape and pliers under the bed, turned my head and took out a cigarette and lit it, and I destroyed all the evidence.
The electrician can find the circuit problem, but he will definitely not find me here, because now everything is normal here, and it is estimated that the electrician will go back when the circuit is back to normal.
For people in the repair shop, it's normal for everything to be fixed when the electrician comes, and I'm not going to do anything about the circuit tonight,
If it rains these days, I will definitely try again, and it is my goal to find trouble in the casino, and I will never miss any opportunity to make trouble.
After smoking, I went out to find Gangzi, yesterday he said that the kitchen was going to make a supper at night, and I was going to go over tonight to see the situation,
I've made a note of what they look like when they specialize in delivering food, and if possible, I'm going to get in touch with them, and I'll start with them.
I carefully thought about the next plan in my head, and there must be no mistakes in it, and I must prepare reasons and arguments in advance......
Gangzi's room is next door to me, and after entering the door, he was lying on the bed on all fours, and when he saw me coming, he immediately sat up.
"What is Brother Gang doing, I miss my sister-in-law," I joked with a smile, and he immediately laughed embarrassedly,
"It's really evil tonight, the good ones are always blackouts, and the heat kills me......"
I took out a cigarette and handed it over, and the seven-dollar five-day pack of Hongtashan was very choking to smoke, but now my identity can only smoke this grade.
"Brother Gang said that there will be supper in the kitchen at night, what time is it?"
"Twelve o'clock to one o'clock, the specific time is not fixed, and the evenings are all shifts...... I'm on duty tonight,"
"Oh, then I'll go over tonight and see if I can help a little,"
I smiled and said a kind word, saying that no one would refuse to help, not to mention that I didn't want to be shared with other people.
"Okay, I know that you kid is right, you work hard, and the most important thing is that I can see the difference in your eyes,"
"Ah, what's different," I asked weakly, it can't be a problem with my eyes,
"There's a tenacity in your eyes that no one else has, I've seen it several times when you're working, it's a good material,"
“……”
Gangzi's words made me not know how to answer, but I was secretly relieved in my heart, and my eyes should be disguised in the future.
Gangzi and I were smoking cigarettes and chatting, and the electric fan was blowing and I could feel a little cool, but the heat of early summer was always easy to upset.
After learning that Gangzi is a native of Zhangqiu, he has been a chef for almost ten years, and he has been working since he dropped out of school at the age of eighteen...... No wonder he looks like he's thirty-five or sixteen,
Time flies, nearly twelve o'clock Gangzi changed into work clothes and prepared to go to the kitchen, he said that there were not many suppers at night, but he didn't say who was eating,
I know that it must be the gamblers in the casino who need supper, after all, gambling money is a very tiring thing, and it is normal to eat something hungry in the middle of the night.
I followed Gangzi to the kitchen, and there were just two of us in the whole kitchen, and he was smoking a cigarette slowly and looked very leisurely.
"Brother Gang, when will we start cleaning up,"
"No, you just have to wait here, wait for someone to order before you prepare,"
"Oooooooo
I sat next to me and took out a cigarette and lit it, and I have nothing to worry about seeing if Gangzi dares to smoke here, after all, who is okay at night will look at the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, there was a dingdong in the kitchen, and a machine on the wall spit out a list.
"Let's start preparing, these people are eating strangely,"
"I see,"
I saw that there were a few dishes on the list, and there were remarks requested by the guests at the back, no chili peppers, no coriander or something, this feeling immediately made me go to the request when I ordered food in the restaurant.
It's just that now that the identity and role have been reversed, I have become a kitchen, which can't help but remind me of the time when I changed from an uncle to a small chef who served my uncle, and this abnormality was very impactful.
I began to prepare the vegetables according to the requirements of the order, washing what should be washed, cutting what should be cut, and if I didn't have a firm belief in my heart, I swear that I would never stay in this kind of place for an extra minute.
In the past, the second uncle often said that people choose everything they do, and they choose their own life path in order to live, and they are the champions in all walks of life......
I think if you can rely on your brain to eat, you will never rely on physical strength, even if it is a technical class, there are subdivisions, and the brain technology is always better than the physical skill, such as the better than the chef with the spoon upside down......
The deserted kitchen quickly became lively, Gangzi was in charge of stir-frying, and I was responsible for preparing the dishes, but he said that the amount of food should be smaller, and the meat was more seasoning, which looked exquisite.
At first, I was confused and didn't understand it, because I had never been in the kitchen industry before, but I soon understood it under Gangzi's explanation.
He said that no matter where people are, they will have a consciousness, that is, they will compare the ratio of vegetables and meat on the plate, and subconsciously feel that more meat is more affordable...... Even if the amount of meat is reduced, it will also give people the illusion of affordability.
He said that the amount of food cooked here must be small, even if the same dish is smaller, the more delicate it is, and if you give a sufficient portion, it will make people feel that it is not classy......
I think this is completely fooling people, in my impression of exquisite dishes should not be carefully prepared by the chef, and the exquisite plate decoration is not all painstaking?
"Where did you kid work in the kitchen before, you haven't learned such a simple truth, go over and bring some tomatoes over to prepare to decorate the plate,"
"Ah, let me decorate the plate, I haven't done it before, I don't understand......"
"Haha, this thing still needs to be understood, you bring it and I'll tell you,"
Under the command of Gangzi, I cut a few tomatoes and broccoli to be put on the plate, but I always had no bottom in my heart.
To be honest, I'm starting to feel a little weak, after all, I haven't been in this industry before, and I don't know how to decorate plates......
"The area on a plate is fixed, just decorate it and smear it with some jam and chocolate sauce, you don't need any styling or anything like that, anyway, the more people can't see anything, the better,"
"The more I don't understand, the better, it's just that I play casually,"
"Yes, just get it casually, have you ever seen anyone who has deliberately studied the decoration on the plate, it sounds like art, and it is simple to give people a sense of refinement,"
I see that there are always very few dishes on the plate, but Gangzi said that this will give people with tricky tastes a sense of delicacy and artistry, and he also said that the more people who do more, the more they like to pretend not to understand......
I put the tomatoes and broccoli on the table, and by the way, I messed up a little jam, and as long as the jam was connected in a line, it was a success.
I think what Gangzi said is quite reasonable, there are unknown things in all walks of life, and there is always something to learn from everyone, before that, I didn't expect that the chef also understands people's hearts and human nature.
I think it should be the surprise caused by the different industries, looking at the dishes I decorated in front of me, I didn't expect that I used to eat those exquisite dishes were like this.
Suddenly, the kitchen door was knocked twice, and the two waiters came to the kitchen listlessly, looking like they were still two of the ones from yesterday.
It's just that there are a lot fewer waiters who come at night, and it is estimated that the two of them are also not good at mixing among the waiters...... Otherwise, I can come and deliver food at night,
"The two brothers will sit down and wait for a while, and it will be all right soon," I took the initiative to greet me, and the two of them looked at me in surprise.
I gave them a big smile and said in my heart that once they were born and twice matured, there will always be a time when they can slowly get together......
"Don't sit down, you guys just hurry up,"
"No problem,"
I turned my head and immediately started to get busy, in fact, I had to wait for the stir-fry to just go, and soon the things on a list were ready.
The two waiters pushed the dining cart away, but the machine on the wall that they had just walked with their front feet dingdong again, and another order came.
I just glanced at it and gave me the order, I continued to prepare the dish, and said that the two waiters just now would come in a while.
If only I had some laxatives or something now, and I could have poured some on them, it would have been a logical way to help them deliver food, and I guess they would have wished I could run errands for them......
