Chapter 28: Hard Work

The next day, Ivan was woken up by an alarm clock.

After checking the information for a night, in the early morning, he was sleepy again, so he fell asleep.

After a little washing, Ivan was ready to go to work.

Although he has a system, survival is still his top priority before a qualitative change in his life.

I can't afford not to go on this class.

At this time, the cow's call also came.

"Ivan, are you up, it's time to go to work. ”

Because the conditions are comparable, the cows are also rented near Ivan.

As soon as the two met, the cow complained: "Ivan, why did you go last night? I want to ask you to go to supper, but I don't answer your phone, is Li Xiangling here?"

When talking about Li Xiangling, the dead fat man looked obscene.

Ivan glared at him: "I'm all fat into pigs, and I still eat it!

He didn't want to talk to the cows about Li Xiangling.

Sweet!

Li Xiangling is Ivan's girlfriend.

In fact, Ivan doesn't know if the two are boyfriend and girlfriend.

If not, the two of them even went to bed.

If so, Li Xiangling is reluctant to reveal the relationship between the two to the outside world. The relationship between him and Li Xiangling is only known to cows who are particularly close.

Ivan knows why.

Li Xiangling thought he was poor, thought he was unproductive, and didn't think about living with him for the rest of his life.

Living in a big city is so realistic.

If you don't have a house, a car, or a high-paying job, no matter how handsome you are, don't expect a woman to really take a fancy to you.

Ivan estimated that Li Xiangling used him as a tool to solve his physiological needs.

In this regard, Ivan was unwilling and tempted, but finally gave up the idea of further development of the two.

As long as there is no qualitative change in his living situation, there will be no future for the two.

Ivan confessed.

He doesn't suffer anyway.

He also has physiological needs anyway.

"I'm fat, I'm happy!"

The fat man replied, and then began to ask reluctantly: "Tell me quickly, did you talk to Li Xiangling all night last night?"

This guy is really lewd!

Ivan glared at him again, simply ignoring him.

Going to work is a very tossing thing for the two of them.

The two took a bus first, then a subway, and tossed in the crowd for almost an hour before arriving at the place where they worked: Dorsett Hotel Guangdong.

There is no way, so the poor people can only rent the peasants in the suburbs to build their own rental houses.

This is also the reason why Li Xiangling is not very willing to go to Ivan's, because he is far away and the place is cold.

But now it seems that this is a good thing for Ivan to do the task.

This will be a lot less distracting.

Ivan and the cow went around the back of the hotel from the side and into the staff-only passage.

The Chinese restaurant of the hotel where he is located is on the second floor, which can be accessed by stairs.

Dorsett International Hotel is a famous five-star hotel in Huacheng, where the Chinese restaurant enjoys a good reputation in the whole Guangdong Province, known as the classic and new trend of Cantonese cuisine, and a large number of diners come every day.

If there's anything about this job that Ivan is proud of, maybe it's barely a little bit.

Although China is famous for its food, cooking is a less respected profession.

In ancient times, there was a saying that "a gentleman cooks far away".

In modern times, chefs are also considered to be a profession that cannot be put on the table.

If you are the kind of chef who works in street shops and food stalls, few people can afford it.

This may be one of the reasons why Li Xiangling is reluctant to disclose the relationship between the two.

In this regard, Ivan was also helpless.

He walked to the staff locker room, changed into a chef's uniform, and prepared to start the day.

But at this moment, Li Xiangling's WeChat came: "Are you back?"

There is eyeliner!

That was Ivan's first reaction.

Li Xiangling also works in the hotel, but she works in the front hall and is the director of the reception department.

The position is higher than Ivan!

Ivan was a little puzzled, he just arrived at the hotel, how did Li Xiangling know?

It looks like there's really eyeliner.

Forget it, leave it alone.

"Returned, came back last night. ”

"Why don't you contact me?"

"Too tired. ”

"Wait for me after work today. ”

"Look. ”

......

This is how the two get along now.

There's not much passion left.

After dealing with Li Xiangling, Ivan went to his job.

As a Dutch chef, Ivan has relatively more to do than other chefs, and, because it is a five-star hotel, the requirements are much stricter than ordinary restaurants.

He began to prepare for the start of construction according to the management standards.

He first cleaned and disinfected the knives, piers and other tools he was going to use, and put them in the right places.

The requirements for five-star hotels are so strict.

Even if the tools have been cleaned and disinfected before, they will have to be used again.

Then, he took out the small material box, rags, containers, clean chopsticks, clean towels, etc. from the disinfection cabinet and placed them in the designated position of the loading table according to the standard.

These are all things that Ivan himself will use.

Next, he had to prepare others for work.

The chefs of five-star hotels are divided into many types of work, such as lotus, cutting board, wok, roast meat, soup pot, etc.

And the lotus chef is for the wok cook.

Because he was a hand-maker, Ivan had to prepare for the wok-chef he served.

Pots and pans should be carefully inspected and cleaned to ensure that they are clean and hygienic.

All kinds of seasonings used in stir-frying need to be checked and added by Ivan.

Some homemade sauces and seasoning oils, Ivan needs to be prepared according to the requirements of the wok's cook, according to the standard material ratio and preparation method, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise he will be scolded and even deducted wages and bonuses.

It took Ivan more than half an hour to do all this.

No way, the chef is so hard.

And that's just the beginning.

Next, he had to prepare the ingredients.

This is a more tedious job.

The so-called ingredient is the name in Cantonese cuisine, which mainly refers to the materials used by chefs to cook pots or color matching in the process of stir-frying.

According to the classification, the material head is divided into two types: spice material head and pigment material head.

Among them, the spice ingredients include fresh ginger, southern ginger, fresh sand ginger, chives (shallots), Beijing onions (green onions), dried shallots (shallots), onions, garlic, garlic, Chaozhou pickles, Jinhua ham, pork belly (roast meat), red salted fish, winter vegetables, lemons, tangerine peel, etc.

There are also many types of pigment heads, including but not limited to red peppers, green peppers, Israeli bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, coriander (coriander), French fragrant (parsley), carrots, white radish, bamboo shoots, five willows, celery, parsley, etc.

Different dishes require different ingredients, and Ivan Ivan has to prepare the corresponding ingredients according to the cooking recipe of the wok chef he cooperates with.

The most troublesome thing is that the different dishes have different requirements for the size, thickness, length, thickness and other aspects of the ingredients.

Therefore, even if it is the same ingredient, Ivan needs to prepare it according to the needs of different dishes.

It's very cumbersome!

But Ivan got used to it.

He knew that in order to become a good chef, he had to do it.
