In a small restaurant, due to the small number of people, each employee is busy every day, serving different customers, and trying to make customers satisfied and happy. The owner and the chef are all from Sichuan, although they open a Sichuan restaurant, but there are many people from other places who come to patronize, and every time it is time to eat, the restaurant is almost full. Sometimes, on holidays, there will even be a queue for a seat. That's a good idea for a small restaurant.

The first day Xiao Ying came to sleep in the restaurant, using two tables to be chuang, which was harder than the one in the hut, and the next day she slept and was in pain.

She has no money, and it is only her first day of work, and her boss will not advance money to her. She can only sleep in the shop, which can be regarded as the boss's mercy, otherwise she would not even have a place to live.

The employees in the store were very curious about Xiaoying at first, and they all fantasized about what Xiaoying looked like under the mask. But later, when Yanhong heard that Xiaoying had a wound on her face, everyone lost interest in it, and her eyes were even more complicated. There are sympathy, pity, and dislike, but Xiaoying doesn't know anything about other people's strange eyes, and just works diligently every day and says little.

People are good at being bullied, the more low-key and honest Xiaoying is, the more the two waiters in the store feel that Xiaoying is easy to bully. Sometimes when the boss is not there, the waiter thinks about being lazy and pushes the work that should have been done by himself to Xiaoying to do.

Not only that, but even the two young men in the kitchen who were working hard gradually began to ask Xiaoying to do more work that did not belong to the dishwasher.

It is said to be washing dishes, but in fact it is impossible to really just wash dishes and not do anything else. Hiring Xiaoying is equivalent to hiring an extra waiter, she also has to help serve the food, be responsible for cleaning, plus wash the dishes, she is as busy as a mule, and she is exhausted when she sleeps every night.

Don't think that the people who work in the restaurant eat well, like this kind of small restaurant, the owner eats it, but the food is also very average.

Master Wu is not responsible for making staff meals, they are all two young men who are doing it, and follow the instructions of the boss, there are only three dishes for each meal, and seven people eat, fortunately, it is a relatively large portion, otherwise where is there enough to eat.

Xiaoying is new here, I don't know if you want to eat meat when you eat here, you have to be quick and thick-skinned, otherwise you won't even be able to get a piece of meat.

There will be meat in only one dish at each meal, and it will be snatched up not long after it is served, so the people here eat very quickly, even if it was slow before, they have to be exercised after they come.

Xiaoying's adaptability is very strong, and she soon got used to living and working here, used to the disgust and curiosity of others, used to being coldly spoken by, used to being called like a mule, used to burying the sad past in her heart, and used to looking at the world from a cold sidestander's perspective...... She deeply understands that numbness is her way out. Only by numbing the heart can we not be defeated by the cruel reality, and only by numbing the heart can we go on in this cold and ruthless world.

Even if she lives so humbly, Xiaoying still has to be careful, she doesn't dare to offend everyone in the store, she swallows her anger, and swallows all the grievances into her stomach.

After she came, she became a servant to the staff of the store, and she was the busiest one, except for the fact that she didn't have to do things like grocery shopping, she would almost always have a share of everything else.

Only Master Wu is not as excessive as others, he will not instruct Xiao Ying to do things for him, he has a considerable love and devotion to cooking, although he is in the kitchen every day, but for cooking, Master Wu still has a keen heart. The two young men who worked hard also stole a lot from Master Wu, but when it comes to actual operation, the taste of the dishes will always be a little worse, so Master Wu still has the same important status as the boss in the store.

There is one less employee in the kitchen today, and a deputy has taken a leave of absence and will not come to work today. It happened to be a weekend, and the business in the store was busier than usual, and suddenly there was one less person, which made it even more stretched.

Master Wu, who was dressed in white, sighed while chopping vegetables: "The boss is really stingy, he refuses to invite more people, there is one less person today, and I don't know what it will be like to be busy." ”

No wonder Master Wu complained that the business in the store was good, but the owner was a miser, and he wanted to break a dollar into two dollars, and he still refused to hire another person even though he knew that the kitchen was short of manpower.

Xiaoying was helping to wash the vegetables, and when she heard Master Wu's complaints, she could only express sympathy in her heart...... Who let everyone stand up to a stingy boss, no matter how hard and tired they are, they are all employees, and the boss will not experience it.

To say that the person who admires Xiaoying the most in this restaurant is Chef Wu, every time you can hear guests praise Chef Wu's cooking skills, and he himself laughs at it, he will not get carried away, and he will not look above the top. He is low-key and kind, he will not call Xiao Ying like others, let alone look at her with strange eyes, and sometimes when he sees Xiao Ying being wronged, he will help say a few good words.

A young man wearing a chef's hat on his head and chopping vegetables in his hand said, "Master Wu, when will our boss figure out when we can hire one more person......

"Huh...... It's hard to wait for him to figure it out. Don't nag your kid, concentrate on your work, the guests outside are still waiting to eat! Although Master Wu was talking, the kitchen knife in his hand was not slackened at all, and the knife work was very good.

As soon as Master Wu's words fell, the young man was about to respond, but at this moment, he suddenly screamed-"Ah! ”

"Ah Xiang!" Master Wu exclaimed, and when he turned his head, he saw that Ah Xiang's fingers were beading with blood.

It turned out that he accidentally cut his finger, and a small piece of meat was almost cut off, and it was bloody, and people couldn't help but feel numb at the sight of it.

"Why are you so careless, you are told to concentrate on your work, look at you!" Master Wu was distressed and anxious, and beckoned Xiao Ying to go over and clean up the cutting board.

Xiao Ying couldn't help but tremble when she saw a little blood stain on the kitchen knife, and then silently took it to rinse.

Ah Xiang's face turned pale, and he covered the lower end of his fingers in pain, and Master Wu took a sip of white wine in his mouth, and sprayed it on Ah Xiang's injured finger with a snort, which was considered to be disinfecting him.

Ah Xiang screamed even worse, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and Master Wu had to sigh helplessly: "You go out to deal with the wound first." ”

Ah Xiang went out, Master Wu had a big head, and now the only helper is injured, even if he can continue to work, the efficiency is greatly reduced, and he can't cope with it at all, he is already very busy, how can this be good?

Xiao Ying saw Master Wu's embarrassment, her heart moved, and she wanted to volunteer to help, but when the words came to her mouth, she was pressed into her stomach again......

Xiaoying continued to wash the vegetables, and Master Wu began to put the cut vegetables into the pot with a sad face, his heart was quite depressed, he was not three heads and six arms, how could he be busy.

In desperation, Master Wu glanced at Xiao Ying anxiously: "Do you know how to chop vegetables?" How about cutting beef? ”

The guest ordered a dish of boiled beef, and Ah Xiang was cutting beef just now, but he was gloriously injured without cutting a few pieces. Time cannot be delayed, and guests will be impatient when they are in a hurry.

didn't want to come out, but Master Wu asked her, and she was a person who didn't want to lie, so she nodded subconsciously.

In the current situation, Master Wu can't be picky, so he has to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"Okay, you cut that piece of beef, hurry up." Master Wu said to Xiao Ying, but his eyes were staring at the pot, and he was in charge, so he couldn't be sloppy.

Xiao Ying answered, didn't say much, picked up the kitchen knife and fell.

Master Wu was busy stir-frying, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Ying chopping vegetables, but he didn't bother to look at it, until the vegetables in the pot were cooked, and after the pot was cooked, he turned around to look......

"Huh?" Master Wu looked at the cutting board in amazement, and then looked at Xiaoying, with a light of surprise in his eyes.

Originally, he didn't expect Xiao Ying to cut it well, as long as he could barely make do with it, but now when he looks at Xiao Ying's cut beef, it is not only thin, but also very evenly sliced piece by piece, and she has cut it in such a short time, which is faster than Ah Xiang's speed.

Xiao Ying was a little embarrassed by Master Wu's staring, hung her head, and whispered, "Look, is it okay?" ”

"Hahaha, of course, it's just too good! Xiaoying, you are really hidden! Master Wu was very satisfied, but he didn't have time to ask anything at the moment, the most important thing was to deal with today's guests.

"What else would you have? Do you know how to stir-fry? Master Wu asked with the idea of giving it a try.

Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment and nodded...... It seems that she can't hide, there is an urgent shortage of manpower in the kitchen, and she can't bear to see Master Wu so anxious.

Master Wu was overjoyed again, somehow, the girl in front of him gave him a feeling that he could be trusted, he didn't even feel that she was lying or boasting, and a thought rose in his heart that surprised even himself...... "The guest also ordered mapo tofu, you can do it, I will make boiled beef." ”

Master Wu is the mainstay of the restaurant, he spoke, which is equivalent to trust and attention to Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying looked up in shock, but saw Master Wu smiled and patted her shoulder and encouraged: "Don't be afraid, take out your craftsmanship, I will taste it after it is fried, if it is really bad, I will fry it again." We're pressed for time, so let's move fast. ”

Chef Wu's encouragement has given Xiaoying strength, she used to like to cook very much, and her skills are even better, and today she can pick up the pot and spoon again as a temporary chef, which is a great surprise for a dishwasher.

Xiao Ying nodded solemnly again, and immediately began to work quickly.

Chef Wu was secretly a little nervous in his heart, although it was just a simple vegetarian dish, but it was this simplicity that could reflect the chef's skills. He doesn't want Xiaoying to fry how delicious it is, as long as it is enough to serve it on the table. Today's situation is exceptional, so we can only do this.

At this moment, the customer who ordered a dish of "mapo tofu" was sitting in the corner of the restaurant, looking down at his phone. He was like a luminous body that could not be ignored here, attracting a lot of attention, but he seemed to be unaware, and in front of him sat a man as thin as a bamboo pole, chattering in his ear......
