Chapter 12 The Imperial Blessing Building
Like a labyrinth of alleys, Wang Ming walked very slowly all the way, remembering some obvious road signs in his heart, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he looked at the big road that appeared in front of the alley.
Wang Ming stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the road signs in front of him, and after buying a map of the city, Wang Ming figured out his exact location now.
Dongjiang City covers a huge area, on the whole, the city is planned as five areas, with the moat as the line, in addition to the four major districts of east, west, north and south, located in the central area, take peace as the name, and each district is also very large, in addition to the five districts in the city, Dongjiang also has jurisdiction over four suburbs and five counties, known as the largest city in the southeast region, and Wang Ming's area is called the Black Bull City, under the jurisdiction of Nankai District.
Walking slowly along the wide avenue of Black Bull City, gradually, a pedestrian street appeared in Wang Ming's field of vision, the front was full of traffic, on both sides of the wide pedestrian street, various shops had begun to open, above the main road, a tall overpass connected the east and west sides, Wang Ming pondered for a moment, walked on the overpass, looked at the crowd coming and going below, and subconsciously walked towards the entrance of the pedestrian street.
Along the way, people come and go, all kinds of cries and sales, sandwiched by the sound of clearance sales coming from the loudspeakers, and the noisy sounds of the surrounding crowd, making this pedestrian street very lively.
Following the flow of people and walking forward, the first horizontal road appeared in front of him, which was still bluestone ground, and Wang Ming saw that on both sides of the road, there were several vendors pushing simple tricycles and selling all kinds of snacks.
Egg scones, loin, pancakes...
Wang Ming looked at it roughly, and while nodding secretly in his heart, his stomach also screamed at the right time, Wang Ming shook his head and smiled, touched the more than two hundred yuan in his pocket, and walked towards the intersection where the small traders gathered in front.
The road crossed the pedestrian street, and Wang Ming saw the number plate "Nanfeng Road" on the sign next to the road.
In front of the small tricycle of flatbread eggs, a middle-aged man stood on the side of the glass cover with a slightly nervous expression, in the pan in his hand, an irregular round egg cake was steaming, the periphery of the egg cake was already a little burnt, but the middle part was still the egg liquid that had not yet been formed, and the middle-aged man held the handle of the pan in his left hand, turning slightly jerky.
Looking at the egg cake in the pot that was constantly shaking, Wang Ming shook his head gently, the middle-aged man should have just come into contact with this industry, and there is no certain foundation, when the pan in his hand was turned jerky, suddenly his wrist shook slightly, and the egg cake in the pot crossed an arc, and when it fell again, the egg liquid in the center of the egg cake splashed out gently, and the part near the bottom of the pot before also had some burnt.
Seeing that the omelet was formed, the man seemed to be relieved in his heart, took out a piece of sliced flatbread from the insulated box on the side, stretched out his hand to uncover it, brushed the sauce and chili peppers, sandwiched the omelet in the pot, and put some shredded pickles and potatoes on it, rolled it up, put it into a bag, and handed it to the diners waiting next to him.
"The technique is jerky, the oil temperature is too high before frying the eggs, the color of the noodle sauce is black and inferior, and the shredded potatoes are gray and white, obviously they have not been soaked in water before frying, which leads to oxidation..."
Wang Ming said secretly in his heart, shook his head and walked to the next stall, the one who sold the egg scones was a middle-aged woman, at this time, the skillful preparation of the raw embryo of the scramble, the dough on the board was pulled off by her hand, the palm of the hand was gently shaken, as if to control the weight, and then, the dough in the hand skillfully kneaded a few times, becoming a palm-sized dough, the rolling pin in the hand was extremely flexible to roll it into an oval dough sheet, and then picked up the oil brush, skillfully brushed one, and when it was rolled up quickly, the right hand gently pressed it.
The rolling pin quickly rolled on the dough, that is, a few breaths, a round dough was formed, she picked it up and patted it gently, placed it on the heavy iron plate that had been dripping with oil, and waited for the dough to be slightly formed, and gently scratched it in the center of the dough with a small wooden ruler, and a crack appeared.
The stall owner quickly took an egg, accurately knocked into the crack that was opened, and when the wooden ruler in his hand was gently stirred, the egg was cracked in it, and then he took the side of the shovel and turned the dough over, the whole process was extremely skillful, Wang Ming nodded in his heart.
When he arrived, he reached out and took the egg scones handed by the middle-aged woman, and after paying two yuan, he bought water on the side of the road, and stood there like this, wandering around these hawker cars from time to time, while he began to enjoy his breakfast, while observing the methods and quality of their operations.
"The only disadvantage is that the hot noodles are too sticky, because the water is boiling at the beginning of the dough season, and after that, the temperature does not reach, and the dough cake is a little yellow, and the taste will be reduced."
Wang Ming chewed the bread in his mouth carefully, in general, in today's Dongjiang, the variety of simple breakfast patterns is not too many, and the method is also very rough, but it does not affect the crowd of people queuing in front of the small three wheels of the vendors, at this time, people are not so picky about the quality of snacks.
Filling his stomach, at this time, the big clock in front of the pedestrian street pointed to the position of nine o'clock, Wang Ming pondered for a moment, and slowly walked in the direction of Nanfeng Road.
Because Nanfeng Road is close to Donggang University and there are hospitals and other facilities nearby, although it is not as large as the pedestrian street, it is generally prosperous, and because of the proximity to the pedestrian street, there are many restaurants and hotels here.
Wang Ming went down Nanfeng Road, at this time, large and small restaurants also began to open one after another, to welcome the new day, Wang Ming carefully walked slowly from room to room, and finally stayed in front of a restaurant.
"Yufu Tower."
Wang Ming's eyes looked at the two-story small restaurant, and above the main entrance of the restaurant, there was a bronze plaque, on which the three big characters of the Yufu Building were vigorous and powerful, and Wang Ming nodded. His eyes moved downward, and his eyes immediately lit up, and a recruitment information came into his eyes.
"Recruitment - one cook, one cold meat, two pier workers, two dishwashers, and a number of waiters, interested parties enter the store to discuss in detail."
The large glass of the restaurant was pasted with yellow paper, and the eye-catching red recruitment font on it was unusually conspicuous, Wang Ming's heart moved, through the wide glass window, at this time, the service staff wearing light blue overalls were hurriedly cleaning, and the interior decoration was also somewhat graded.
And just as Wang Ming was groaning, a young man in a white shirt walked out of the hotel, he was about twenty years old, and when he looked at Wang Ming with a mop in his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You're here to apply, aren't you?"
The young man grinned, showing his white teeth, and when he looked at Wang Ming with his eyes inquiring, he spoke.
Wang Ming was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, looked at the young man full of sunshine in front of him, and smiled in return, and then nodded at the other party.
"Hello, my name is Liu Can, what position are you applying for, go, go in and I'll take you to see the manager."
The sunny boy introduced himself, and when he smiled and followed Wang Ming, he gave people an extremely comfortable feeling, but the smile fell in Wang Ming's eyes, but it let him know that this sunny boy with a professional smile, although he was not very old, he was also a good person.
"In that case, thank you."
Wang Ming nodded, thanked with a smile, and then, under the guidance of the young man named Liu Can, the two stepped into the Yufu Building one after the other.
Walking into the interior, Wang Ming just saw more clearly, the decoration of this Yufu Building has a unique style, full of antique artistic conception, the landscape painting on the wall looks unique under the reflection of the ceiling lamp, and although the external door is not huge, but there is a hole in it, Wang Ming followed the young man called Liu Can all the way forward, turned a corner, and could see the noisy sound coming from the kitchen at this time.
The two went up the stairs, and at the corner of the second floor, Liu Can stopped and knocked on the door of the manager's duty room.
"Come in."
A woman's crisp sound came from the room, Liu Can pushed open the door, and walked in first, and then Wang Ming thought a little and followed into the office.
"Manager, someone came to apply, so I brought him up."
Wang Ming entered the room, the walls were very white, and the internal layout was also simple and clear, at this time, in front of the desk near the window, a woman about thirty years old was sitting there with her head bowed, the pen in her hand kept sketching, and after hearing Liu Can's voice, she raised her head and looked at Wang Ming.
"Alright, you go down first."
The woman looked at Liu Can, nodded, and then spoke, Liu Can answered, and when she turned to leave, she nodded at Wang Ming, showed a professional smile, and left quickly.
"Sit, I'm the manager of Yufu Building, and my surname is Zhao."
The woman put down the carbon pen in her hand, crouched in front of the desk, crossed her fingers with her hands, and nodded when she looked at Wang Ming, and seeing this, Wang Ming also nodded, while Manager Zhao looked at her, he also slowly took two steps forward, sat down at the desk, and when he looked up, he looked at the badge on Manager Zhao's chest, and the three words Zhao Sijia suddenly caught his eye.
"Have you done it there before? What position are you applying for when you come to us? ”
Seeing Wang Ming sit down, Manager Zhao looked at Wang Ming with an inquiring look, Wang Ming was stunned, and when he turned relieved, the latter spoke concisely and straightforwardly, which was in line with her beautiful appearance's shrewd and capable temperament.
"When I was at home, I cooked for a while, so I wanted to work in the kitchen..."
Wang Ming pondered for a moment, looked up at Manager Zhao in front of him, and said seriously.
"Into the kitchen?"
Manager Zhao was slightly stunned, Wang Ming's face in front of him was still a little immature, and he looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the kitchen is now recruiting all technical jobs, whether it is a dun worker or a cold meat, it needs some good basic skills to be competent, in her opinion, in addition to the dishwashing position, the rest, whether it is cold meat or dun worker, Wang Ming in front of him should be a little difficult.
And now there are a few people at the front desk who need to serve here, especially a teenager like Wang Ming, thinking of this, Manager Zhao frowned slightly, and there was a faint expression of pity on her face, and then, she looked at Wang Ming, who was with beautiful eyebrows in front of her, and asked tentatively.
"You... Looking for a job as a dishwasher? ”
