Chapter 15: The Rat Lover
Time flies.
Unconsciously, the two brothers Chen Yi and Chen Kai have been in the company for half a month.
Both of them do the front office, which has already been set, because the back kitchen does not need too many people, there are only a few posts, and there is no place to put them when they come.
They are all diligent in their work, Chen Yi is a chatter, loves to scare the little girl at the bar, and is often looked down upon. Chen Kai talked less, he was so introverted at first that he didn't even speak, and then slowly let go, the key is that the family is handsome, and the waitress in the front hall always revolves around him.
The two are still complaining about this and that, just like a boy who comes out to have fun, complaining about the low salary and living in extreme luxury, smoking, drinking, especially the nightlife is very sufficient, playing games before three o'clock will not sleep, all-nighters are common.
However, they seem to have slowly adapted to the job and integrated into the group of Shunshui Fish Restaurant employees.
I, the first to join, was embarrassed to say that I joined the company before them, and it has been almost a month, and most of the employees in the store have spoken to me politely, and I have been treated as an outsider.
Of course, the problem is with me, and I don't blame them. Since joining the company, I have been immersed in work, I have not participated in a staff party, I have basically not talked to them, and I go to the lounge to recuperate whenever I have spare time.
In this situation, it is strange to be able to cultivate feelings.
Recently, the business of the fish restaurant has been getting better and better, I don't know if it's because of the special physique of the fish spirit master. The sturgeon had been in a coma for almost a month, about three times more than expected, and there was still no sign of waking up.
Some things have always been a mystery, what should the fish spirit master do to be in line with the profession? How do we turn into a soul that is a whole spirit? How long do you have to kill the fish?
These things have always been like a mouthful of phlegm, blocked in my throat and eyes, I can't cough up, I can't swallow, I want to ask clearly but I can't find a suitable person to ask.
I had no choice but to kill the fish in a muffled voice and wait for the sturgeon to wake up!
There were more guests tonight than yesterday, and Master Peng, who was killing fish together, was completely busy, and the hand holding the knife was shaking all the time, and he couldn't stop at all.
It was the same last night, and my hand was sore when I woke up this morning, and it seemed that it was still a little swollen and I couldn't make much movement.
After getting past the most crowded stage, I felt that my left arm no longer belonged to me, and it was throbbing. Sure enough, a man who had never held a knife was still reluctant to suddenly work in the back kitchen.
After more than half a month, the sparse blue light quality once again covered the entire ceiling, I dare not imagine, how many lives have I killed?
Around 9:30 p.m., the first round of dinner on duty.
I shouldn't be on duty today, it's Master Peng on duty. During his meal, I had to stay in the fish pond, waiting for the new guests to weigh the fish.
Every day, there will always be guests who choose to eat fish hot pot at the time when we get off work, so it is also the fragmented words of the front office waiter.
Unlike the back kitchen, the back kitchen staff leaves work on time at 10 o'clock, while the front office staff must wait for the guests to finish before leaving.
Hot pot is a relatively esoteric foodie, and its characteristic is that it lasts for a long time, and some guests play hard and can eat for an hour or two.
The later the guests come, the later the front office will get off work, and if I am from the front office, I will inevitably gossip. It's normal for people to feel unhappy about working overtime without pay.
Tiredly sitting on a four-legged low stool, holding his chin with one hand, he looked at the guests coming and going in the fish pond in a daze, ah...... So boring.
After a long time, my feet were a little sore, I stretched out my feet to change positions, and unintentionally kicked something, and before I could lower my head, I heard a shrill cry.
"Chirp ......"
I'm going, what's the matter?
I quickly stood up and took a step back, and when I looked down, I saw a gray-haired rat tumbling up from where I had just landed and burrowing under the refrigerator.
It was so fast that I almost didn't catch the image, and it took me a while to react.
"Hey, isn't it, there's really a rat in the store? It's not good to jump into the front hall and let the guests see it. ”
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was better to tell the head chef and the store manager about this matter, so that they could deal with it in time to avoid causing future trouble.
After the second round of meals, I went to the head chef and told me about the rats.
"Well, no problem, I'll go buy rat poison tomorrow and poison them." The head chef responded with a smile.
"Rats are afraid of people, how can they run to the front hall."
The chef's attitude was a bit perfunctory.
Whatever, I'm just a small employee anyway, so I don't need to worry so much, just do my duty.
On the way back to the dormitory, he glanced at Chen Yi, who seemed to be going in the wrong direction, and asked, "Aren't you going to go online tonight?" ”
"Don't go, Xiu Xian still has to be more modest, sleep well tonight, and continue tomorrow night."
Chen Yi habitually took out the cigarette case from his pocket, found that there were no cigarettes in it, and threw it away: "Brother, do you have any cigarettes?" ”
"I remember saying three times that I don't smoke." I am speechless about Chen Yi's memory, isn't it deliberately finding fault?
"Brother, as a man who doesn't smoke, your life has been in vain."
"Because I want to live longer, I don't smoke", I responded disappreciatively, very repulsive to second-hand smoke, five people in the dormitory, four of them smoked, and I had enough of silently smoking second-hand smoke.
However, I can only endure it, and it is impossible to tell them not to smoke! Unrealistic ideas.
I didn't want to talk about cigarettes, so I changed the subject and said, "I found a big mouse in the back kitchen just now, and I don't know when it sneaked in." ”
Chen Yi smiled when he heard this, and lowered his questioning bass: "Oh~? ”
"Huh?" The fat man's expression was a little strange, as if he had thought of something, and I asked curiously, "What, are you interested in mice?" ”
"yes, very interested. You don't know how rampant the rats were in the staff dormitory where I worked last time, and Chen Kai and I ate and drank well every day, offering them.
Buy a bag of melon seeds and go back, and the next day only the melon seed shell remains. Chicken thighs and chicken feet and other night barbecues, the bones are gnawed with you. Even the fruit has to be bitten or two.
In short, buy something back to the dormitory, and don't think about eating it again after the night. I figured there must have been at least a dozen or so rats, and they hadn't fallen asleep yet, and as soon as the lights were off, they would run out. As soon as the lights are turned on, they will immediately find a place to hide. ”
"Didn't think about doing anything about it?" I admire the mentality of the fat man from the bottom of my heart, if I am in such an environment, the mentality will definitely collapse.
Stealing food is nothing, one or two are no problem, the problem is that the rats are rampant, and they actually call friends to live in groups, who dares to guarantee that more members will not join in the future?
Personally, when you find a mouse, the first thing that comes to mind is how to kill the mouse. But Chen Yi shook his head and said, "There's no need, it's just a mouse, just keep a pet." ”
“……”
I dare not agree with Chen Yi's aesthetic concept of raising pets, and in terms of the degree of failure, he would rather raise huskies than raise rats.
"Anyway, I haven't seen a mouse for a long time, and tomorrow I'll come to the back kitchen to see if the mouse has any spirituality. If you have it, you will accept it, and if you don't have it, you will put it in the back kitchen. ”
"A mouse is not a dog, how can it be spiritual." The corners of his mouth twitched and complained, feeling that Chen Yi was becoming more and more neurotic.
