Chapter 4: The First Arrival
After Qin Jianguo left, Master Guo led Qin Feng around the huge kitchen at random, casually told him some basic rules in the kitchen, and then called a young man about 20 years old, and ordered: "Xiao Zhao, this is a new apprentice, I will follow you in the future." ”
Xiao Zhao hurriedly nodded and said okay, and as soon as Master Guo left, he put his arm on Qin Feng's shoulder very familiarly, and asked with a smile in a pure Northeast accent: "Little brother, what's your name?" ”
"Qin Feng."
"The peak of the mountain or the edge of the golden character?"
"The wind that blows."
"What?"
"The wind of the electric fan."
"Oh?" Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Coincidentally, my name is Zhao Yun, and the two of us are a combination of wind and clouds now!" ”
Qin Feng had no salt soda in his mouth, otherwise he would definitely squirt out at this time. I knew that there were many people with the surname Zhao, and there would be fans of the Three Kingdoms who would name the child Zhao Yun, but he really didn't expect to meet here.
Qin Feng laughed dryly twice and didn't make a statement.
Xiao Zhao asked again: "How old are you this year?" ”
Qin Feng replied, "It's 16 years old. ”
Xiao Zhao smiled, and said with a slight surprise: "Yo, you came out at such a young age, have you finished junior high school?" ”
Qin Feng replied with a smile: "I'm done reading." ”
"It's good to finish reading, don't look at the chef's profession as cooking, my brother told you, now you have to be educated to be a chef. If you want to take the grade certificate in the future, you have to take a written test. Xiao Zhao played with Qin Feng.
Qin Feng perfunctorily expressed his teaching.
Seeing Qin Feng's low eyebrows and pleasing appearance, Xiao Zhao's vanity as a senior was immediately satisfied, and he patted Qin Feng's shoulder and taught earnestly: "It's okay, if you want to take the grade, then you have to stay up for seven or eight years first, and there is still a lot of time." In this world, I am afraid of the word serious, and it is still too late to start learning hard. Between the words, it was as if Qin Feng was regarded as a scumbag.
Qin Feng didn't have much to explain to him, so he nodded with a smile.
Xiao Zhao's words were much more than Qin Feng imagined, and he kept asking Qin Feng about his parents' shortcomings, and he asked for about ten minutes, until Qin Feng said that he was a native of the city, and then he lost interest in continuing to ask, and instead put on a businesslike posture and assigned Qin Feng the work in the morning.
"It's 6 o'clock in the morning, you don't need to make breakfast, all you have to do is come early and wash the dishes. When the masters start work at noon, you will stand and watch with me, and Master Tang, who will take us, will let you do it before you can move, otherwise, nothing on the stove will be allowed to touch. Do you understand? ”
Qin Feng nodded and asked, "Then I'm going to wash the dishes now?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Zhao nodded his head, "You come with me first and change into your work clothes." ”
Xiao Zhao led Qin Feng to the dressing room in the kitchen, opened the door, and saw dense white overalls hanging on three walls, Xiao Zhao pointed to the inside, and said: "You go and choose a similar one to wear, and the clothes you take off will be hung on the wall, and everything in the pocket of your clothes will be taken out and put in your pants, otherwise you won't lose the hotel." ”
Qin Feng followed his words, went in and chose a piece that almost fits well, and when he changed his clothes, he was taken to the dishwashing room by Xiao Zhao.
As soon as he entered the dishwashing room, Xiao Zhao shouted at the person inside: "Wen Qiang, this kid is new, look at it!" ”
Xiao Zhao pointed to Qin Feng beside him, and a slightly chubby young man named Wen Qiang immediately ran over, glanced at Qin Feng, and said with a smile: "The new apprentice?" ”
"Yes, my name is Qin Feng." Xiao Zhao replied for Qin Feng.
"Okay, just do it when you come!" Wen Qiang gently patted Qin Feng's arm, and casually pointed to the countertop when washing dishes, "The rags and gloves are all over there, how to wash the dishes shouldn't be taught, right?" ”
Qin Feng smiled and nodded, and very consciously entered the working state.
As soon as Qin Feng walked away, Xiao Zhao grabbed Wen Qiang, pointed at Qin Feng and muttered quietly: "He said that he is a local." ”
"Really?" Wen Qiang smiled faintly.
Xiao Zhao said: "Don't you think it's strange? Dongou locals, who came out to work at such a young age, don't you say that the people here are very rich? ”
"No matter how rich you are, there will always be one or two who don't have money." Wen Qiang said with a smile.
Xiao Zhao didn't get the echo he wanted, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to talk nonsense, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't talk to you, I'll work." With that, he walked out of the dishwashing room, not knowing what he was doing.
The bowl of the hotel is actually cleaned every night when it closes, and this round in the morning is mainly to rinse off the smell of overnight water, so there is no need for dish soap at all, just use clean water to wash it, and it is very convenient to wash.
But even then, the amount of work to rewash thousands of dishes is enormous.
After washing, some of the dishes and chopsticks were directly taken to the hotel's cafeteria, and the rest of the dishes that were not used were put back into the disinfection cabinet.
Qin Feng sat in front of the sink and washed until almost 7 o'clock in one go, and then finally stopped working.
At half past seven, the manager of the hotel called all the people in the back kitchen out and held a short morning meeting.
"Since I've already done the daytime shift, let's come over during the day in the future. You work from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., and when the Chinese New Year is busy, you come back in the evening to help, and the store will give you overtime pay. There is still half of this month, and the salary will not be opened first, and it will be regarded as a probationary period. Starting next month, the monthly salary is 1,200 yuan. Starting today, you can eat all three meals in the store, and since you're a local, I won't arrange a dormitory for you. ”
The manager, surnamed Wang, explained Qin Feng's benefits and obligations clearly in a few words.
Qin Feng has no objection to such a schedule and treatment, as for saying that he will come to work overtime during the New Year, Qin Feng calculated the days in his heart, thinking about whether he will still be here by then, then he really can't say.
After the morning meeting, it was a long break for most of the guys in the hotel.
Everyone sat in the staff lounge, either napping, or in a daze, or just like Xiao Zhao, holding a copy of "Bosom Friend" to replenish their soul chicken soup.
Qin Feng closed his eyes and recuperated until 9 o'clock, and just when he was almost about to fall asleep, someone patted his body and said in his ear: "Young man, wake up." ”
Qin Feng immediately opened his eyes, and what he saw was a simple and fat face.
"Yo, you're not asleep." The fat-faced man said with a smile and asked, "You're a new apprentice, aren't you?" ”
Qin Feng nodded.
The fat-faced man introduced himself: "My surname is Tang, and when you enter the kitchen in the future, you will follow me." ”
As soon as Qin Feng heard that this was bringing his own master, out of politeness, he quickly stood up and said, "Master Tang is good." ”
"Okay, you're good, young man, you're quite clever, haha......" Master Tang was very satisfied with Qin Feng's reaction, and his first impression of Qin Feng was quite good.
