In my eyes, coffee is this flashy thing to cheat fools out of their money. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although I later learned after several ridicules from people, it turned out that it was not the fried noodles I thought it was. But I'm still stubborn that it's mushy, and even if it's ground from coffee beans, it doesn't change that fact.

"Xiaomin, can you be more focused when you work in the future?" The boss asked me to see how I was doing in the replay, "Look at you, do you look like a waiter in a high-end restaurant?" ”

"I'm pretty focused." I defended myself, "You see I've been staring at their cups, and they're full as soon as they're empty. ”

"Why are you as stupid as a pig, I really don't know why Xiao Chen transferred you from the catering department. I tell you to be more focused, not to make you pour coffee so often, but to let you observe the words and emotions on dates. The boss pointed to the two people who were chatting happily in the monitoring replay and said, "Do you see these two people coming to drink coffee because they are thirsty?" ”

"I can't see it."

"Can't see it?" The boss said angrily, "I can't see it, that's why I said you're as stupid as a pig." Guests come to talk about things, and a few people come specifically for coffee. Coffee is a drink that only foreign devils are used to, and people in our country just taste it fresh. They have a good conversation there, and once you go up, you will invisibly interrupt a conversation. If there are too many times and people can't talk about things, then why are people still here? ”

"Boss, I know it's wrong, I'll pay attention to it next time."

Hearing my assurance, the boss asked, "If you really know it's wrong, tell me what you're wrong, especially what's wrong?" ”

"I made the mistake of interrupting the conversation so that they wouldn't come here next time they were talking."

"Idiot, idiot." The boss pointed at my nose and scolded, "Your biggest mistake is to be stupid." ”

In the midst of the boss's scolding, I went out in disgrace. At the most scolding, the boss said that the most wrong thing I did was wasting his coffee. He said that the coffee was so expensive that it was a little less to pour it down.

"Stingy." When I came out of my boss's office, I muttered quietly, of course, I was just slandering myself, and I didn't dare let others hear me. I still feel in my heart that I've tricked people into drinking this mushy stuff anyway, so why don't I care about being full?

Although I've been transferred from the food and beverage department to the café for a while, I've never had a coffee myself. The boss even has to refill the cups for the guests so much, naturally it is impossible for us part-time workers to drink such expensive coffee. But I don't care, I'm happy to drink a glass of boiled water after work. Because the boiled water here is transparent, unlike the water that the family picks from the mountains. The water always has a bad smell, and even if it is left to rest for a long time, it will be yellow.

I'm content, even if the money I get is always the same. But people will always be curious, and they will always want to get something that shouldn't belong to them. Even though I still think that the coffee is just a bit of mush, after a long time, I still want to taste what it tastes like that makes the rich people crave.

"Boss, can I learn how to make coffee?"

I crave coffee, but I don't want to drink what's left in someone's cup. As for the coffee pot, there is often a lot of coffee in it, but the store is full of surveillance, and I don't want to ruin my own job for a cup of coffee. Come to think of it, it seems that the safest place is in the back kitchen.

Although the boss is very picky, he doesn't want to offend the master chef in the kitchen. That's right, in the western restaurant, the person in charge of the chef is still called the master chef. Because this is a rule set by the master himself, no one knows why people who cook Western food have such rules. But he liked it to be called that, so we had to follow suit.

It stands to reason that this is Western food, and there shouldn't be so many places to keep secrets. After all, there are many chefs in Chinese food who will have top-secret recipes, but Western food is not so particular, and it seems that there is no need to keep it secret. However, when the boss proposed to come to the security monitor, the master pulled down his white hat and threw it on the board, making it look like he was leaving, and the boss immediately changed his mind and didn't mention it.

This is the second reason why I want to move to the kitchen, besides wanting to try coffee. Because the master is very powerful, he doesn't have to suffer from the boss's idleness anymore.

The master is great, because he has a good reason. His confidence comes from the word of mouth of his customers, but anyone who comes here is usually not disappointed. However, most of the customers who come here do not order food, but order a cup of coffee to taste.

People only drink coffee and don't order food, firstly because Western food is expensive, and secondly because most people come directly to coffee. After all, you can still eat authentic Western food in other places, but you can't drink such good coffee in other places.

Coffee is the master's skill, so the coffee here is not freshly ground and brewed outside the table like a café, but is made in the kitchen. All customers see is a glowing silver kettle, and it's not what they can see how the coffee inside is really appealing.

Customers are curious, and so am I. I desperately wanted to get into the back kitchen, so I had the audacity to ask the boss for it. But the boss didn't even look at me, just hummed two words from his nostrils, "Dream." ”

I was rejected, but it made my curiosity even stronger. I thought about it for a moment and thought that maybe my rejection had nothing to do with my boss. Because the boss is very picky, no one in the back kitchen knows except for the salary of the master, and the rest of the people are not very high. When I asked my boss for a transfer, I even said that I could lower my salary a little bit to cover the cost of learning things in the back kitchen. But the boss didn't even bother with this condition, which means that he can't take care of the kitchen at all.

The master is famous, and there are indeed many people who come here. In their opinion, even if you don't need to work, you have to learn the craft from the master, because once you learn to apply for employment in other restaurants, you will definitely be able to get a high salary that others envy.

However, this is just wishful thinking on their part, because not only does the boss not want the master's craftsmanship to be passed on to other restaurants, but even the master himself is unwilling. Although the master did not say the reason, people are not stupid and know the truth that the disciples of the church starved to death of the master.

I didn't think about stealing the master's craft, because I had been in the restaurant for so long and knew that even if I went into the kitchen, I couldn't learn the real thing. Because the steps of the master chef to make coffee are exactly the same as others, but the brew is more fragrant than the rest of the shops. It's his own craft, and unless you teach it by example, you may not learn anything even if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

I was actually just trying to sneak some coffee, not to learn the craft secretly. Even though I was rejected, I thought about moving my job to the kitchen. Lihua, who was a waiter with me, sneered: "Are you stupid to be a waiter, you don't have any eyes at all." What's so good about working in the back kitchen, it's dirty and tiring, how can we be comfortable as waiters at the front desk. I know what you're thinking about, don't you just want to drink some authentic coffee? But I advise you to still die of this heart, and a cup of coffee will cost 200 yuan. If you get addicted, you'll be ruined. ”

I'm not a fool, and of course I know that coffee here is ridiculously expensive. That's why I went to the back kitchen to steal coffee. Otherwise, my own salary, even if I drink it once every three days, is enough for me to become a moonshine clan. And that's just the cost of drinking coffee, not to mention how scary it is if you include the cost of eating, drinking, and drinking water and electricity.

I wanted to try it, but I didn't have the courage to put all my salary on it. Besides, I'm a person who works at this restaurant, and it would be weird to come and order a cup of coffee on a day off. Actually, not only me, but most of the waiters have never drunk this kind of coffee. We just stood aside, smelling the aroma, but we didn't have the blessing of a drink.

"I heard you want to come to the back kitchen?"

When I was called to the kitchen, I was strange because the master rarely spoke to us at the front desk when he was fine. I felt a little flattered, but I still had the audacity to say, "I want to learn more, so you can let me come." ”

"Learn something?" The master snorted coldly, "I heard the boss say that you are very stupid, and you don't even understand how to observe words and expressions when you are working at the front desk." With your IQ, you still expect to learn things? ”

I've long heard that the master not only has a bad temper, but also has a vicious mouth. But I didn't expect him to be so direct, after all, we were meeting for the first time.

"I'm stupid, but I'm willing to work hard. I think as long as you are willing to accept me, I will definitely be able to learn the work here quickly, at least not slower than others. ”

Hearing my words, the master shook his head: "It's just that it's not slower than others, so why should I use you?" Anyway, I already have someone who can do the job, so why should I find another person of similar level? ”

I was asked by the master, because I really don't have anything better than others. Seeing that I was speechless, the master shook his head again, and shook it even more than just now.

"That's it, be stupid, be stupid. I have a man here who has resigned, and a seat has been vacated. I'm not at ease with temporary recruitment, and neither is the boss. You can come to the back kitchen and try it for a few days. But I'll warn you that there is a forbidden place in the back kitchen. (To be continued.) )
