Chapter 193: A Chef's Future

At night, Zilanhai hurried to catch the last subway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were not many people on the last subway, and Zilanhai could still grab a seat.

Zi Lanhai leaned back on the chair, letting her tired body slow down while squinting her eyes. After a busy day, nearly twelve hours of high-intensity work, he was tired.

Zi Lanhai is a 24-year-old chef at a food stall in the Tianhe district of Suicheng, a sashimi chef to be precise, and a high-level water platform for fish and meat processors.

Suicheng people like the habit of living at night, until more than ten o'clock in the evening, he did not get off work, dragged his tired body, ran a kilometer, fortunately caught the last subway.

He lives in an urban village, far from where he goes to work, and needs to take half an hour by subway and then walk for 10 minutes to rent a house.

On the subway, most of the passengers are talking about the SS company, especially in the past two days, when he is at work, he hears a lot, but he is really busy and has no time to look at his mobile phone.

"SS Company is recruiting chefs, NND, it needs 5,000, so many, I heard that it is specially prepared for the snack city. ”

"Well, the treatment must be very good, the minimum wage is 5,000, and it is still covered, but the requirements must be very high, you must have many years of experience as a chef, if I could, I would definitely sign up." ”

"There is other income in addition to salary, profit dividends, and housing is also divided, and it is being built, I heard that it is at least a one-bedroom apartment. ”

"Well, it's better than the average blue-collar treatment, but it's mainly SS company, and I believe that SS company will definitely not treat employees badly. I'm also thinking about what they're going to do for me, and being a chef is a skilled job, and I don't. "Haha, it's good to be clean and hygienic, just have the physical strength, but I don't know if you need it." ”

Zi Lanhai listened to the chatter of the passengers next to him, and when he heard the attraction, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The minimum wage is 5,000 yuan, and it is still covered, at least one bedroom and one living room?!

The treatment is really very good, it's still SS company, and the salary does not include the store's profit dividend, even if it is one percent, it should be a lot.

Zi Lanhai turned on his mobile phone to read the news of SS Company, and after about twenty minutes, he finally understood the various requirements and treatment of SS Company's recruitment of chefs, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and all kinds of thoughts lingered in his heart, and he also looked forward to that beautiful life.

Compared with his current job, the monthly salary is 3,500, including food and housing, in order to save money, he lives very far, or the kind of narrow dormitory, less than ten square meters.

Zi Lanhai usually doesn't spend much, he can save two or three thousand a month, he has worked for a few years, and he has saved nearly 100,000 yuan, and he plans to save more, build a house in his hometown village, and marry a daughter-in-law to live a small life.

Zilanhai's hometown is a small village in your province, a very poor, remote small village, a few years ago, he followed the introduction of the people in the village, came to Suicheng to work, the beginning of the work is very simple, the first line of water, is to kill fish in the stalls.

At the beginning, he was not very good at killing fish, this job seems simple, but it is not simple, he is often stabbed by the fins of fish, sometimes accidentally cut by a knife, the palms and backs of his hands are full of scars, sometimes the wound is inflamed, especially in winter, the wound is very piercing after soaking in water.

After working for a year, Zilanhai didn't know how many fish he had killed, how many internal organs he had cleaned, and he didn't know how many times the efficiency was high, and he was rarely stabbed by the fins of fish.

So, the stall owner asked him to start working as a real fish knife worker.

Suicheng is a place that is particularly keen on sashimi.

What is sashimi? I guess many people don't know.

Sashimi, also known as sashimi, is a dish in which fresh seafood is cut into raw slices and eaten directly with seasonings.

Sashimi is often used for tuna, salmon, sea bream, flounder, bonito, capel, yellowtail, trevally, sea bass, mullet, etc., as well as freshwater fish such as carp, crucian carp, and grass carp.

However, due to price reasons, the public often chooses freshwater fish as the feed fish for sashimi.

Since it is sashimi, the fish must be carefully selected.

The best fish to choose are from farms with good water sources, such as ponds with mountain peaks behind them, followed by large reservoirs, and free-range fish that are not fed feed.

Among freshwater fish, grass carp is best used for sashimi. Because of the living environment of grass carp, the food is mostly aquatic plants and the like, which is not complicated.

Sashimi is very complicated to make, and it is very particular about the beauty of the fish. Although it is prone to parasites, people do not give up on this delicacy because of its unique taste.

The fish must be drained blood, and then remove the gills to dig the internal organs, the fish meat is naturally selected on both sides of the fish backbone, from the fish tail to the upper body a few centimeters into the knife, the back of the knife along the backbone to the direction of the fish head, until the fish head, cut off, you have to have one side of the fish, in this way to cut out the other side of the fish.

The next thing is to pay more attention to knife skills, except for fish bones.

In addition to the fish bones, if the knife work is poor, the cut fish pieces will not be even, and the fish meat will be less.

The normal method should be that the knife edge enters the knife from the thick meat, next to the fish ribs, and the back of the knife must be flat and oblique to the fish ribs, not perpendicular to the fish ribs, otherwise the fish ribs will be cut off, and the back of the knife is slightly tilted down the angle to slowly remove the fish ribs.

Of course, the fish skin has to be removed, which is also quite difficult to handle. If it is not done well, the fish will be broken, especially if the fish is small, the fish meat is already small, and the fish meat is too tender and easy to rot.

In addition to the fish skin, of course, it is also torn from the thickest part of the fish skin, and it can only be torn slowly, pulled to the thin part of the fish skin, and scratched with a knife to make the fish skin not easy to tear.

After pulling out the skin of the fish, you need to take a clean handkerchief or paper package to pull out the fish, mainly to absorb too much water in the fish and maintain the taste, and after wrapping, you can put it in the freezer to keep it fresh.

There are many condiments for sashimi, and everyone's preferences are different, so the choice is different.

However, in the Liangguang area, they prefer ginger, coriander, green onions, mustard, shredded radish, and even drink high liquor to disinfect and remove the fish.

Generally, shredding is better than chopping into puree, on a clean and waterless board, the condiments are shredded, and the knife must also use a thin knife, otherwise it is difficult to shred.

There are also other condiments, such as peanut oil, soy vinegar (brewed), sesame seeds, fried peanuts, shredded kohlrabi, garlic, etc.

Of course, the most particular knife work is the last process, cutting the sashimi, the fish fillet must be cut thin, the thinner the taste, the better the taste, after cutting each piece of meat neatly on the plate, you can see the crystal clear sashimi.

Each piece of raw fish is mixed with other condiments, and the entrance is delicious, and you feel that you are not eating fish, but as if you are swimming in the sea formed by the fragrance of the fish, which is refreshing and fascinating.

Of course, Zilanhai can make sashimi, and he does it quite well, and the knife work is extremely fine, which is also what he has worked hard for many years, but the salary given to him by the boss is really not high.

Zi Lanhai returned to the rented room, looking at the bedroom of less than ten square meters, the small bed and a desk, and he couldn't put down other furniture. The bathroom is shared, which is really inconvenient.

In urban villages, many landlords have built like this, especially in the summer, because the buildings in urban villages are too close to each other, there is no ventilation at all, and living in the house feels like being steamed by a stove, and it is not much better to have air conditioning.

Zi Lanhai originally planned to save more money, go home to build a house, and then marry a daughter-in-law, but it was only like that, but it was also quite difficult for him.

Sitting on the bed, looking at the job posting of SS Travel again, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't hold back my heartbeat, I felt love and excitement emerging from every bone marrow, and fantasized about thinking of myself as the chef of the snack city.

He is also thinking about the comparison, continuing to work in the stalls, the salary will not change, and it will never change his life.

If he leaves his job to apply for a job, he may not be hired, and for a period of time, he will not be able to go to work and will definitely have no income.

The best situation is to be recorded, and the most unlucky thing is to come back, but after so many years of working on the water platform, I can find a job at will, and it is estimated that it is much better than the original job.

Thinking of this, Zi Lanhai had already made up his mind to resign and prepare to apply for a job as a chef at SS Travel.

Ten days later, Zilanhai left Suicheng and came to New Oriental.

He also inquired that tens of thousands of people applied every day from the beginning of the formal selection.

The primary selection is still simple, depending on the person's appearance, if you pass, you will ask more about the chef work for a few years, and if you pass, you will get a formal registration form, but it seems that a simple primary selection, most people still can't pass it.

After passing the primary election, after getting the registration form, fill in the type of work you are good at and various personal information, hand it over to the registration office, and then wait for the notice.

The next day, he received a practical interview notice.

There are a lot of practical interview requirements, time is tight, and it is quite difficult.

His practical interview, a total of two, cut carrots and handle crucian carp, two hours.

It didn't take long to feel that it was time node, Zilanhai was sweating profusely, and fortunately he had just completed the task.

The teacher marks on the spot, points out the strengths and weaknesses, and then asks him to go home and wait for the notice.

The admission is based on merit from high scores to low scores, and Zi Lanhai doesn't know how many people he can rank, and whether he can pass in the end, after all, people will come to interview one after another.

However, the exam results are transparent and open, and he also knows his shortcomings, because he has a record of results, he can't have a second interview, he regrets a little, he knew to practice more at home, and then go to the exam.

Before leaving, as a candidate who passed the initial examination, he could also get a fare of 500 yuan, which was the same for everyone.

Although the money is not much, it also makes him grateful to SS Company.

It is estimated that the travel expenses alone will cost tens of millions of dollars, after all, there are too many people who come to the interview, even if there are not many people who pass the primary selection, but there are tens of thousands of interviewers who can enter the actual operation.

Then there was the long wait. (To be continued.) )
