Chapter 148: Eventful
Thinking of this, I adjusted my facial expression, squeezed out an expression that I thought was pitiful, and said to the woman in front of me, "Beauty solve, we really don't have sirloin steak in the store, last time you had to eat, I bought it out of my own pocket, and used the kitchen of the restaurant to make it for you, at that time, because I didn't understand, I burned several pots, and this month's salary was basically lost, and the boss said that if I made a mistake again, I would be driven away." β
I pretended to be extremely pitiful, and even forced out a few tears.
"Beautiful sister, I am a student in a nearby school, the family conditions are not good, so I came here to work at night, but the previous month's salary is gone, if I make a mistake again this time, then this job will be gone, the job will be gone, I will not be able to earn the tuition for the next year, I will drop out of school at that time, I still have an eighty-year-old mother and teenage brothers and sisters waiting for me at home......"
I tried my best to portray myself as a super pitiful and miserable person, hoping to win the sympathy of the woman in front of me.
As long as she sympathizes with me, she will definitely change the dish.
The woman sighed at this time, and didn't look at me, but directly reached out and picked up her bag, I thought she was annoyed by me, so she was not in the mood to eat and leave.
It's better this way, and it saves me more unnecessary trouble.
But I didn't expect the woman in front of me to directly open her small white leather bag, take out a plate of red tickets from it, and hand it to me.
"Here are three thousand yuan, more than enough to make up for your monthly salary, if you have more, you can buy me steak, I want to taste the same as before, you made it yourself."
I looked at the red ticket she handed over, and the corners of my mouth twitched.
This is really ...... to solve the problem with money at every turn It's so handsome!
I dreamed that I would have this arrogance, but unfortunately it is impossible in this life.
Originally, I didn't really want to give women sirloin women's volleyball team, because there were no materials in the store, I had to go to the supermarket outside to buy it, and then I had to do it myself, which was not time-consuming and thankless.
But if it's a reward, that's a different story.
3,000 yuan to buy a steak to eat, let alone sirloin steak, I want to buy the whole beef thigh for her.
I immediately took the wad of tickets from the woman's hand, bowed to her and said, "Sister Beauty, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare the steak you want." β
With that, I turned and ran downstairs.
After seeing me running downstairs, Luo Qi happened to pass by and said, "Lin Mu, why did you come down, didn't you say that during work, you are in charge of the upstairs and can't come down?" β
"Brother Luo, you don't know, last time that strange female guest came again, she was going to eat sirloin steak by name, but we don't have it in the store, so I thought about going out to buy it and make it for her to eat like last time."
Hearing this, Roach couldn't help frowning, and he said to me, "Although we are in catering, adhering to the principle that the customer is God, if some guests make rude requests, we can also refuse." β
After saying that, Luo Qi was going to go upstairs to talk to the upstairs theory, but at this time Zhao Hong happened to come out of the kitchen, he saw Luo Qi going upstairs and coughed, and said to Luo Qi, "The store manager can say, if he doesn't allow it, you can't go up to the second floor casually, the second floor is used to receive distinguished guests, as long as it is a guest who can go up to the second floor, then they make any request, the staff in the store must unconditionally try to meet it, deputy store manager, you won't forget the rules of the store, right?" β
I think Zhao Hong must have said these words on purpose, he just wanted to stimulate Luo Qi.
When Roach heard this, he retracted his half-staired leg, looked at me and whispered, "Go early and come back early." β
I was a little speechless, and I made a fuss for a long time, and finally I went to it......
But fortunately, this time it was not unrewarding labor, at least the woman upstairs gave me 3,000 yuan.
I hurried out of the restaurant and went to a nearby supermarket that was open to start shopping for ingredients.
Last time, because the supermarkets were closed, I bought a relatively cheap women's volleyball team in a small supermarket, but this time because the budget was sufficient, I deliberately picked up more than 200 steaks in the big supermarket.
The reason why I chose such an expensive one is also because it is useless, I thought that I had received 3,000 yuan from others, and it was not an exaggeration to take out more than 200 yuan to make a good meal for others.
After buying the ingredients, I went back to the store.
When I walked into the back kitchen with the ingredients, Zhao Hong, who saw me coming in, immediately walked over with a smile and reached out to take the ingredients in my hand.
"Xiao Mu, leave these ingredients to me, your brother Hong, I promise to make a steak that people can't forget after eating a bite."
So soon, Zhao Hong gave me a nickname.
What little wood...... How does that sound like that...... Disgusting.
Goosebumps suddenly appeared, and then reflexively retreated.
Zhao Hong saw that I was a little resistant, but he didn't get angry, but said with a smile, "Xiaomu is still shy." β
With that, he came over again.
I was stuck on a wall, and there was no way back.
At this moment, Luo Qi walked in and shouted at Zhao Hong, "Zhao Hong, don't make trouble, the guests upstairs are going to eat the woods, even if you can make a full banquet, it is not uncommon for guests to come." β
When Zhao Hong heard this, his eyes narrowed a little angrily, and then he glared at Luo Qi and shouted, "Luo Qi, you are deliberately finding fault today, right?" β
"That's right, I'm just finding fault, what's the matter?"
Luo Qi snorted coldly, but Zhao Hong didn't do it, he threw off the apron in front of him and took off the chef's hat on his head, and then strode to the door, Zhao Hong, who was physically strong, grabbed Luo Qi's arm and dragged him out.
"Let's go, I'm going to have a good talk with you."
"Let's talk, I'm afraid you won't make it!"
Luo Qi and Zhao Hong left in front of me like this. And after watching them leave, the whole kitchen was left with me and a junior apprentice who gave Zhao Hong a hand.
The apprentice looked younger than me, with eyes as small as beans, and little freckles on his face, which gave people a sense of joy.
He is not tall, that is, one meter seventy, but the whole person is very thin, when he saw me looking at him, the junior apprentice laughed twice, and then greeted me, "Your name is Lin Mu, right, the first time we met, I am the apprentice of Master Zhao Hong, my name is Tiezhu." β
Saying that, he stretched out his hand to me, and I hurriedly reached out and shook it with him, and I found that when I shook hands, his palms were particularly cold, and it was that kind of cold feeling.
The kitchen itself is hot, and most people who stay here are sweating profusely and their bodies are hot, but this apprentice doesn't sweat at all, but his hands are cold, which is really strange.
"Are you and Zhao Hong the two cooking masters in this kitchen?"
I blew up and asked at the iron pillar.
He nodded and said, "It turns out that there is a chef, who is the veteran who opened this store with the store manager, but then it seems that he quarreled with the store manager because of something, and the chef left, and Master Zhao Hong is the chef's apprentice, so after the chef leaves, he becomes a chef, and then I am Master Zhao Hong's apprentice, hehe." β
This iron pillar is a little naΓ―ve, I noticed that he especially likes to say one sentence: I am Zhao Hong's apprentice!
always emphasizes one sentence, which shows that this junior apprentice cares about his identity very much, so whether he wants to replace his master's position like Zhao Hong, or does he emphasize it out of respect, then I don't know.
I smiled politely, then borrowed a frying pan from Tiezhu, and began to clean up the ingredients.
Tiezhu is not very busy at the moment, because the store is in the off-season, and there will be no customers during the golden hour at night, so the kitchen will naturally be idle when there are no guests.
Although the woman on the second floor asked me to make the steak by name, she didn't say that it was okay for others to help me while I was cooking.
Tie Zhu is a warm-hearted person, he saw that I had to clean the steak alone, and I had to prepare side dishes, a little too busy, so he took the initiative to come over to help, and also taught me some cooking skills, such as steak should not be supervised to be fully cooked, and medium rare is when the steak mouth is tender.
I also talked a lot with Tie Zhu, during which I asked Tie Zhu what his last name was?
Tie Zhu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand what I said.
When I saw his ignorant look, I asked, "You can't be surnamed Tie Mingzhu, right?" β
If Tie Zhu is his real name, and his surname is really Tie, then Tie Zhu's parents are too talented, how could they give their child such a name.
"I don't quite understand what you said, what is the surname, the iron pillar is my name, this is the master gave it to me, saying that he wants me to be as hard and indestructible as the iron pillar."
Iron Pillar doesn't look like a lie, he doesn't even know what his surname is? Is it a minority?
But a few names should also have a surname and a first name, right? I've never heard of a minority who has only a name and no surname.
And Tie Zhu said that his name was given by his master, isn't his master Zhao Hong?
This Zhao Hong is in his twenties at most thirty-one and twelve, and Tiezhu is also in his early twenties.
I couldn't understand it, and I was about to ask in detail, but Tiezhu said, "The steak is going to be fried, hurry up and pull it out." β
Tie Zhu is particularly concerned about cooking, and he can't be sloppy at all.
Even when we were chatting just now, his eyes were always on the steak in the pot, staring at the heat, for fear of getting old.
I hurriedly stretched out the steak as the iron pillar had said, and then put it on a plate.
Looking at the steak with all the color and flavor, this time it is more attractive than the last time, and it is estimated that the taste must be great.
I was a little smug and thought that I had improved my cooking skills again.
At this time, Zhao Hong happened to open the curtain and walked in from outside.
Seeing that he was disheveled and his face was clear, he knew that he must have fought with Roach just now.
I didn't know what to say, so I said I was going to deliver the food, so I went out of the kitchen with the steak.
When I walked out of the kitchen, I saw Roach sitting at the exam bar, touching the back of his hand with ointment.
I stepped forward and said to Roach, "Brother Luo, did you fight?" β
Roach was stunned by my unexpected remark, and hurriedly looked back at me, then frowned, and did not speak.
And when Luo Qi turned around, I found that there were several small bruise-like spots on his neck on his open collar, and I immediately shouted with wide eyes, "I'm Cao, this Zhao Hong is too ruthless, and all the bruises on your neck are blue." β
When Luo Qi heard my words, his face immediately turned red, he hurriedly covered his neckline, and then said to me, "The guest is still waiting upstairs, you hurry up and deliver the food." β
With that, Rocky turned his back to me.
I originally wanted to care about him kindly, but I didn't expect Roach to not appreciate it, which made me a little helpless.
After a sigh, I went up to the second floor with the steak.
The woman on the second floor was probably hungry this time, and when I served the steak, she found that the tarot cards on the table had been put away by her, and when she saw me approaching, she beckoned, sat up straight with half leaning back in the chair, and smiled at me, "Hurry up, I'm dying of hunger." β
I put the steak and drink on the table and said, "Please slow down." β
With that, I got up and was about to stand aside, but the woman pulled me and pointed to the seat across from her, and said, "You sit across from me?" β
"Huh?"
I was stunned for a moment, wondering what kind of tricks this woman wanted to play.
