Chapter 111: Factions
Perhaps it was Laishun's sincere advice that moved Cheng Tie, and after Su Miao gave Laishun a yƬ, Laishun and Cheng Tie gradually became closer.
Although Cheng Tie is an anxious child, he likes to teach people, and he does not have the strict hierarchical rules between masters and apprentices, but he has taught a lot of things in private. Lai Shun has mastered the tricks and has become more and more proficient, the number of scoldings has decreased, and people have become lively and confident. Under his influence, several apprentices who were close to Lai Shun also tried to come around to ask Cheng Tie for advice, hoping that he could improve his skills as soon as possible. Cheng Tie is still very elderly, and he does not refuse, but this kind of refusal stung the eyes of several chefs in the original pigeon building headed by Zhao He, people's jealousy is not all about the love of men and women and mediocre opponents, sometimes it is just because "you are from my side, you can't be too close to other people, otherwise I will have a feeling of being betrayed somewhere", this feeling is also a kind of jealousy.
Although the people of Pigeon Building and the people of Pinxian Building now belong to the same Su Ji Pinxian Building, they are two forces with equal balance, because the two forces are even, so they can maintain the calm on the surface. And now, as Lai Shun and other apprentices gradually move closer to Pinxian Building, the balance that was originally stable has been broken, and the atmosphere has become turbulent.
Su Miao naturally noticed such a change, but she remained silent and did nothing.
On the second day of the first month of June, the second round of the children's examination was held in Toyosu as scheduled, and the same five examinations were held, and the content was said to be similar to that of the prefectural examination. Once you have passed the prefectural examination, you can continue to take the entrance examination in September. Once you pass the college examination, the first person becomes a student, which is commonly known as "Xiucai". Those who are talented in the examination can enter the official school to study, the official school is funded by the state, not to mention that there is no tuition fee, and there is a talent subsidy every month, which is also the reason why many people sharpen their heads and squeeze into the official school. With the talent subsidy, it is more than enough to support yourself at least, and it is a veritable "making money by studying".
Su Yan has recently stopped saying childish words such as "I will concentrate on learning to cook after I am in the exam", and after passing the county exam, he seems to have found fun in the exam, and he has a feeling that he has found something new that he is good at, and he takes the preparation for the exam very seriously. However, no matter how serious he is, he does not have Ning Le's motivation, entering the official school is currently Ning Le's biggest goal, for the future monthly allowance, he has already practiced the ability to serve food and endorse at the same time. Every time she watched him recite silently with straight eyes while serving food, Su Miao would feel very frightened, but fortunately, he didn't break the plate or rush the guests, and after a long time, it became a unique skill.
On the morning of the house test, Su Miao cooked two bowls of champion and the first porridge. With the experience of the last time, Su Yan and Ning Le also became much calmer, and after breakfast, they didn't need to be instructed, and went out with their schoolbags on their backs. Mrs. Su and Hu Shi naturally put their hands together and kept praying to God and Buddha, Su Miaoli stood by the door and watched the two of them walk away, before turning around to go to the kitchen, facing each other, rushing over with joy, with a panicked face, panting and saying:
"Master, Master, it's not good! Oh no! There's a fight in the kitchen, Master, go and take a look!
Su Miao was slightly stunned, her head didn't react, but her feet subconsciously hurried towards the kitchen.
Tongxi didn't need her to ask, and quickly told her what happened. It turned out to be Cheng Tie's new apprentice and the apprentice of the pigeon building in the past, and the sixth son made a mistake when he made a mistake, and when he made up for the mistake, he grabbed a kitchen knife and stomped on the pork bones. The reason was this kitchen knife, he didn't pay attention to it because he was in too much of a hurry, and when he finished chopping, he found that what he was holding was Zhao He's most precious meat cleaver. Zhao He's baby kitchen knife was taken to chop pork bones, how could he swallow this breath, he was angry on the spot, and scolded Liuzi for a bloody head. In the workplace, and in a busy situation, the scolding is still his apprentice, and the scolding is too ugly, Cheng Tie is naturally unhappy, he himself also sees that Zhao He, who is cautious, is not pleasing to the eye, where can the temper come up and allow Zhao He to be arrogant, the sixth son did not dare to talk back, he dared, so he and Zhao He quarreled. Niu Guang couldn't look at the front of the gang, and the two gang cooks with Zhao He naturally couldn't watch Zhao He suffer, so they messed up and scolded each other.
When Su Miaocai walked to the kitchen door, she heard a fierce scolding from inside, and when she went in and stood in front of the food table, the scene in front of her made her speechless. In the kitchen, which was a little narrow because there were too many utensils, Cheng Tie and Zhao He grabbed each other's collars, and Niu Guang and Lin Xin, the assistant cook, held a boning knife and scolded each other at two elementary school apprentices who were so frightened that they were about to faint. The others huddled in a clump and hid aside, their eyes full of panic as they watched the chaos unfolding in front of them. The whole kitchen only has the most calm aftertaste, cooking the dishes slowly and methodically, out of the pot, letting Lai Shun pass up, turning a deaf ear to the surrounding qiÄ, as if he didn't see anything, so that the two guys standing outside the food table waiting to serve the food are incredible.
Su Miao frowned, and said coldly: "What are you messing around in the kitchen, don't stop it quickly!" ā
However, no one in her anger would listen to her.
Su Miao was really angry this time, her face sank, and she said sharply:
"I'll count three times, whoever doesn't stop, immediately roll me up and leave, don't respect the owner and don't respect his workplace, the god store can't afford it, three, two, one ......"
The people who were fighting were stunned for a moment, and then they didn't know if it was themselves or the other party who loosened their strength first, in short, they all stopped after three counts, pulled their collars and snorted disdainfully at each other, turned around, and collectively looked at Su Miao. The other people who had been standing in the corner and watching also hurriedly stood up and faced Su Miao one after another.
Su Miao swept over their different expressions, her eyes fell on the six sons who lowered their heads, and said softly:
"Liuzi, even if you are not careful, taking the chef's cherished knife is equivalent to breaking his hand, even if it is not intentional, it is your mistake, apologize."
"Yes." Liuzi lowered his head and whispered, cowered in front of Zhao He, knelt down and pleaded, "Uncle Zhao, it's mine, I didn't find out that the kitchen knife was wrong for a while, I didn't mean it, Uncle Zhao has a lot of don't worry about me, I must be careful next time, don't dare again!" ā
Zhao He glanced at him indignantly, snorted, don't look over.
"Zhao He, Lin Xin, Cheng Tie, Niu Guang, as an elder is disrespectful to the elderly, openly fights in the kitchen, does not respect his own business, does not respect his own age, brings trouble to other people's work, and has a very bad impact on the juniors. The others saw it, but did not persuade them, and allowed them to make trouble in the kitchen, and they were considered accomplices, and each of them was fined half a penny. The next time someone makes trouble in the kitchen, whoever it is, quit their jobs and leave. The kitchen is not a place for you to play around, and any employees who do not respect their workplace cannot afford it, so please find another job. Now, immediately, immediately, get to work! Su Miao said sternly.
The kitchen was quiet for a few seconds, and then they took their places and returned to their posts to continue working, although they were somewhat unconvinced, but they intuitively felt that the angry owner could not afford to provoke them, and if they really lost their jobs because of their willfulness, the gains outweighed the losses. Especially the four of Zhao He, although they were reprimanded in public and lost face, they couldn't refute a word.
"It turns out that the owner will also be angry!" Defu sighed quietly.
"It's rare and weird, the second girl used to start a fire to be more terrible than the evil ghosts, which is good!" Chen Yang pouted and said.
Su Miao glanced at them, Defu and Chen Yang shook their shoulders in shock, picked up the tray, and hurriedly served the food.
It is a big problem for the people of the pigeon building and the people of the Pinxian Building to be unconvinced by each other, and there are too few people in Su Miao's own way, and the people in the kitchen are the people of the Pigeon Building. On this point, the outfield is much easier, except for Chen Yang, all the guys and recruits left behind in the pigeon building, Chen Yang will create an atmosphere, but it is more harmonious than the back kitchen.
On a June night, the moon is bright and the stars are thin, the wind is light and the clouds are light, and the crickets in the grass under the window are singing happily.
Su Miao rubbed her cheek with one hand and rubbed her lower abdomen with the other to face a table of ledgers, which were also mixed with the employee roster, she stared directly at the employee roster, biting the pen and lazily in a daze. The sweet and slightly spicy taste wafted slowly, she was slightly stunned, and looked back, only to see the aftertaste coming quietly, and placed a bowl of deep amber steaming soup in the tray in her hand in front of her.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, looked down for a while, sniffed, and asked him suspiciously:
"What is this?"
"Brown sugar dried ginger cinnamon soup." Aftertaste replied lightly.
"Brown sugar? Dried ginger? Cinnamon branches? I always felt that the ingredients of this soup were a little delicate, Su Miao was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, Huo Di jumped up and stayed away from him, stared at him vigilantly, as if she had been looked at, she was annoyed and angry, and shouted, "Why do you know?" Are you a voyeur/madman! ā
"My dad said that any woman who is suddenly moody and angry usually has a stomachache, and it is good to drink a bowl of this." Aftertaste replied calmly.
The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, his father's education method was really special, his face was so red that he could drip blood, she bit her back molars and asked:
"How can I be moody?"
"If today's events were normal, you would definitely smile and say, 'It's all a family, you can't fight, you have to get along well', instead of telling them 'If you fight again, you'll roll up and leave'." Aftertaste put down the tray and sat down in the chair next to her, and said flatly.
"Are you an idiot for me, how could I possibly say to a group of uncles who are all over 100 years old, 'Don't fight, get along well'. Besides, I also have things that I can and can't endure, fighting with knives in my sacred kitchen, and the people who fight are not new to the industry, which I can't bear no matter what. Su Miao's pretty face sank and said unhappily.
Aftertaste held his cheek with one hand, looked at her, and looked at her all the time.
"Why are you looking at me like that, am I wrong?" Su Miao was uncomfortable, her scalp was numb, and she asked suspiciously.
"No, I just think you're quite bold, I want to take a look at such a rare expression, take a good look." Vermilion lips curled slightly, and he smiled softly.
āā¦ā¦ Are you a playboy? Su Miao's face became more and more red, she gritted her teeth, and asked wordlessly.
Aftertaste smiled and pushed the brown sugar dried ginger cinnamon soup to her: "Drink it while it's hot." ā
Su Miao held the soup bowl in both hands and said, "Let's talk about today's fight, you are obviously the head chef, and you should occasionally take on your own responsibilities, but you don't say a word when they fight under your nose, if you continue like this, you, the head chef, will definitely be underestimated by them." ā
"Every one of them has a point, and I don't know who to be on. Besides, I'm not interested in that kind of thing, and a group of old men quarreling is so boring that it really doesn't lift people's spirits. Aftertaste said lazily.
"......" Su Miao was speechless.
"But now the atmosphere in the kitchen is really bad, the pigeon building has closed down, and it can still be divided into two factions, I knew that I shouldn't have renewed the contract for the hundred taels of silver." Aftertaste said nonchalantly.
"If it weren't for the renewal of the contract, the restaurant would not have opened so quickly, and it would have taken a lot of effort to recruit another person. Zhao He's people are not necessarily proud because they came out of the pigeon building, they are proud of their craft, and they can't tolerate their craftsmanship being despised . The position of the head chef of the back kitchen is all the people of the original Pinxian Building, and they are naturally unwilling to fall from the position of the leader. ā
"People should also be a little self-aware, their craftsmanship is indeed inferior to Cheng Tie and Niu Guang, but they can't see it alive or dead, which is no longer pride but arrogance."
"After running in for so long, it's time for them to see their opponents clearly, it's a good thing to be unconvinced, and being unconvinced is the driving force for progress." Su Miao sipped the cinnamon soup and said.
Aftertaste glanced at her and asked curiously, "What the hell are you trying to do again?" ā
Su Miao smiled but didn't answer, and said, "That's right." She pulled out a money bag from under a pile of books and handed it to him, "Well, this month's payment." ā
The aftertaste was slightly stunned, took it in his hand and turned it upside down, and said with a smile: "Didn't I say that I don't need to, you are all mine, why be so stubborn." ā
"One yard is one yard, I promised to associate with you but didn't sell it to you, I still have to pay it back. Besides, you are mistaken, I am not yours, you are mine, yours is also mine, mine is still mine. ā
After thinking for a while, he smiled, hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled indulgently: "Okay, okay, got it." ā
Su Chan quietly appeared behind Su Miao, like a ghost, and said in a swishing voice: "Second sister, come here." ā
Su Miao was startled, answered slowly, stood up and followed her out.
From an angle that Su Miao couldn't see, Su Chan turned her head and glanced at the aftertaste gloomily.
Aftertaste was speechless, I often heard that the new daughter-in-law would be bullied by the eldest aunt and sister-in-law when she entered the door, so is he being bullied by the sister-in-law and brother-in-law now, his eyes quietly poked into the door Su Yan, who looked guarded, glanced at it, and his eyebrows twitched.
