Chapter 69: The Sudden "Western-style Education" (2)
Thanks to their continuous efforts, on the third night, the bartender and the restaurant manager finally introduced the two of them to the drink preparation stage for the first time.
In fact, in a restaurant like this, it is not difficult to prepare drinks, many of them are composed of fixed recipes, and there is no difference, as long as you memorize the recipe list and follow the steps, as long as the raw materials used have not deteriorated, there will generally be no taste difference.
But Ah Fu and Xiao Dong didn't know that the two of them were very serious about adjusting, especially Ah Fu, whose hands were shaking when measuring the raw materials.
After making their first drink, the two of them were at the bar, secretly watching the customer's reaction, eager to see how their drink was mixed from the customer's face.
But God seems to be working against the two of them, the customer went up from the drink, to the end, he didn't drink, and the two of them were nervous, every time the customer raised his hand, the two of them widened their eyes, stretched their necks, stared intently, and almost didn't stare a hole in the customer's body.
The bartender also smiled when he saw the two of them like this, and the two newcomers were too nervous, so he pulled the two of them back and asked, did you just measure clearly? The two nodded. You didn't add anything more, did you? The two shook their heads. You didn't add soda to Sprite, did you? The two shook their heads. The bartender smiled and said, "That's no problem, you guys go back and keep doing it."
Time passed quickly, and when Ah Fu saw that his mobile phone showed that there was a sum of money deposited, Ah Fu knew that his labor last month had finally paid off, although it was not much, at least it could last for a while.
Although Ah Fu and Xiaodong don't go into the kitchen at home, they still learn these things very quickly, because this restaurant is not a normal kind, but a franchise restaurant, all the ingredients and steps are shipped from the head office, and they are just responsible for blending and heating.
The two of them successfully turned the table three times in half a month, preparing to march to the fourth operating station.
By the time Ah Fu's parents received Ah Fu's repayment, it was close to the end of the period, and Ah Fu not only repaid the money with interest, but also repaid the interest and late fees by the way, and then in the surprise of his parents, he returned to the restaurant to work during the winter vacation.
Since then, Ah Fu rarely returns home during the holidays, and generally works outside, even if he goes home, he only stays for a few days, and he will consciously pay the room fee and do housework.
For Ah Fu, this is just to do what he originally wanted to do, he is in school, in the cafeteria, it is also like this, the place he has stayed in must be tidied up, and he will have to pay the price for living things. Ah Fu felt that it was nothing, and it should be taken for granted.
At the beginning, Ah Fu's parents also felt that this was the case, their children were independent and grew up, what was they not satisfied with?
But over time, Ah Fu's parents felt that something was wrong, and everyone lived together, and now they looked like landlords and tenants, not like children and parents.
What's more, now Ah Fu doesn't go home, he works all the time, and he rarely comes back when he rests, except for the school that doesn't allow him to live, otherwise he won't be able to see his son at home at all. As a parent, I miss my son a little.
As a parent, what do you do with your children? Ah Fu's mother not only complained about her husband once, but she couldn't see her son, and every time they met, she gave money to live in the hotel, and she looked like a hotel owner.
Ah Fu's father doesn't think so, aren't all children abroad like this? After the age of eighteen, the parents don't care, other people's children can, why can't their own children? What's more, other people's parents began to enjoy the two-person world when they reached their age, but their own wife didn't know how to enjoy it.
In this world, one thing is certain, that is, God rewards hard work, and I don't want to always talk about some negative energy things, and this is not a negative energy thing, and I will not talk nonsense in order to conform to the previous article.
Ah Fu's efforts soon paid off, and the reward was not from the restaurant, but from the family.
Ah Fu's mother completely ignored her husband, took the soft first, and went to the school to find Ah Fu.
Ah Fu was very surprised to see his mother, because when his mother arrived in the dormitory, he still carried the copied formula sheet on the bed.
Ah Fu's mother saw her baby son in the palm of her hand, alone on the bed, holding bread in her left hand, holding a small notebook in her right hand, and there were words in her mouth, and her heart was not a taste.
Ah Fu saw his mother's arrival, put down the formula table in his hand, wrapped half of the bread he ate, climbed out of bed, pulled out a stool and asked his mother to sit down, Ah Fu thought, this mother will not come inexplicably, there should be something, so he casually asked, "Mom, do you have anything to do today?" ”
Ah Fu's question embarrassed Ah Fu's mother, and she really had nothing to do, just to take a look, Ah Fu's mother looked at her son's serious indifference, and thought, this son is not confused and still angry with himself, right? He asked, "It's okay, I'm just here to see if you're doing and how you're eating?" If you don't eat in the cafeteria, isn't there enough money to spend? ”
"No, I'm too lazy to go downstairs, the floor is not low, and I'm even lazy to go downstairs without class." Ah Fu looked at his mother, and didn't say much, this is also the truth, he is indeed too lazy to go downstairs, this sixth floor, running back and forth is the twelfth floor, the weather is still hot, back and forth is sweaty, and he has to take a bath, and he has to take a bath when he comes back from the restaurant at night, and he is in trouble. What's more, the weather is hot, people's appetite is not very good, I don't want to eat those things in the restaurant at night, and I go to the canteen during the day to see those greasy dishes, which is really disgusting.
"Are you still angry? Actually, I told your dad that this is not appropriate, but your dad has to learn what other people do in 'Western-style education', and I can't resist him, I thought he would be fine as soon as the freshness passed, but I didn't expect it to take so long. Ah Fu's mother looked at Ah Fu's face, her chin was sharp, and she was so distressed that she continued: "I thought you couldn't support it in a few days, but I didn't expect you to last so long, if I knew that you lived such a day at school, I wouldn't have given you money." ”
"Mom, I think that's good." Ah Fu said, looked up at his watch, it was time for him to go to work, and he had to go to learn new products early today, so he was ready to go out, turned around and said to his mother: "Mom, I'm going to work, if you have nothing to do, go back, be careful on the road." ”
Looking at the back of Ah Fu turning away, Ah Fu's mother felt very uncomfortable, she was also selfish at the beginning, seeing that her children could live and not have a bad time, she thought that it was okay to exercise, but I didn't expect that now, my children are so indifferent to themselves, and they don't go home on vacation. Ah Fu's mother thought that her child was gone, and it was not interesting to stay by herself, so she went home.
After that, Ah Fu's mother came a few times, but she didn't get any good faces, or Ah Fu didn't give her mother any good faces. In this matter, in fact, Ah Fu doesn't want to give his mother a good face, because when he goes to work, he sometimes comes into contact with customers, and he is all smiling, and he is smiling, and he usually has no expression if he can, which can be regarded as a kind of relaxation.
But Ah Fu's mother didn't know, she only felt that her child was complaining about herself, not forgiving herself, and complaining even more about Ah Fu's father.
Ah Fu's efforts in the restaurant were not in vain, and the return was not only great, but it was so big that Ah Fu was dumbfounded.
When Ah Fu arrived at the restaurant for almost a year, one day, the restaurant manager asked Ah Fu if he would like to be the head chef.
Ah Fu was stunned by this sudden happiness, and he couldn't speak, only nodded and smirked. Ah Fu knows what this chef means, the head chef, and shows that he has done a good job in the kitchen, has a lot of experience, and has leadership skills, and can take charge of the entire kitchen. Although the kitchen of this restaurant is not technical, such a position is a great encouragement for a college student who has not yet graduated and is only working part-time.
Because Ah Fu knew that before him, there had never been a simple head chef in the restaurant, and it was impossible for a person who had only been in the restaurant for a year to be such an important position as the head chef of the evening shift. For a restaurant that is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., the dinner period basically contributes to seventy percent of the day's turnover, and there is no room for error.
But Afu's first day as a chef was not easy.
Although Ah Fu often worked as a head chef, he never really became a head chef, and he didn't have this title.
The most important thing is that there has been no head chef on the night shift, everyone has always had a very easy time, Ah Fu and Xiaodong, as newcomers, quickly got along with everyone, and this time they became the head chef, one level older than everyone, and they can be regarded as management.
And Ah Fu and Xiao Dong came over together, now that he has been promoted to head chef, Xiao Dong is still a small bartender, Xiao Dong is not a taste in his heart, and sometimes the head chef and the head chef will tease Ah Fu.
However, these are nothing to Ah Fu, because Ah Fu has already worked as a chef, and he is familiar with these, just do it as usual, everything must be clearly distinguished.
But Ah Fu did what he did according to the rules, and on the first night, he was topped up. And the top person is still Ah Fu's good friend, Xiaodong.
The restaurant's policy for drinks is two minutes. This means that the order of drinks, starting from the bar, except for special drinks, is only a maximum of two minutes of waiting time, deducting the time for the waiter to serve the plate, basically the bar counter does not take more than one and a half minutes to make drinks.
That night, Xiaodong didn't know why he was a little absent-minded, the restaurant at night was full of orders as usual, especially the list at the bar, which was simply longer than the toilet paper in the toilet, but Xiaodong didn't seem to care very much, and did it unhurriedly, not caring about the non-stop lists.
Ah Fu is an anxious person, and the chef's workbench is the window for the dishes, directly connected to the outfield of the restaurant, and the waiter also serves the food from this side.
After Ah Fu received a reminder from the waiter for the Nth time, he finally broke out and shouted in the direction of the bar: "Xiaodong! Drinks! 48 tables of crystal dream cups have been waiting for half an hour! The guests are all finished! What are you doing? ”
When Xiaodong heard this, he slowly returned: "That's no way, the crystal pearl has just been cooked~ I'll come right away~"
"What about the 86 tables of caramel macchiato with double cream! The guests also waited for fifteen minutes! ”
"It's coming, it's coming~ Isn't this drink going to be made cup by cup, what's the hurry, what's there to urge~"
Ah Fu listened to this, turned his head and looked at the list of Xiaodong bar, it was quite a lot, full of rows, and there were still many of them not yet lined up, still hanging on the machine. Ah Fu was taken aback when he saw it, and went directly to the bar to help Xiaodong do it.
When Ah Fu helped Xiao Dong finish the list that had been owed for a long time and returned to the outlet, Ah Fu heard Xiao Dong complaining behind his back: "Being the head chef is a cow, and it actually arouses people~ What are you proud of." ”
Ah Fu didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the food outlet.
When it was time to close, Ah Fu routinely went to each operation desk to ask about today's wear and tear and abandonment, and the first one was the bar. When Ah Fu walked to the bar, Xiao Dong was wiping the counter there, Ah Fu stepped forward and asked Xiao Dong: "I'm not proud of anything, I don't care if I am the head chef or not, I am standing at the mouth of the dish, someone urges me and I should help urge, you won't understand after staying for so long, right?" In addition, today's explosion of orders is like that, and you will be very troublesome to return the order at that time, we have also encountered it before, if you are angry because of this, I can't help it. How's the loss and waste tonight? ”
After Xiaodong reported the truth, he continued to do his own thing, and Ah Fu also transferred to another station to ask about tonight's situation and registered one by one.
By the time Ah Fu was done, Xiaodong had been doing a good job for a long time, and the first day's work made Ah Fu tired, this night, it was like several nights, whether there was this title or not, it was indeed different. It turns out that I just do this job, just do my own job, since I became the head chef, this is not only to do a good job of the food outlet, but also to manage the affairs of other stations, it is really busy and thankless.
