When crossing the stone bridge, I met Wang Zhao.

When the other party saw her, he was overjoyed: "Master Xu, are you going to work in a restaurant?" I'll go back and get the lunch box right away! ”

After running two steps and stopping: "Master Xu, how did you think about it?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Yin to speak, she said again: "I'm not urging, I'll ask, you think about it, I won't bother you!" ”

This time, he didn't pause again, and in the blink of an eye, he ran away.

Xu Yin couldn't cry or laugh.

slipped away so fast, Rao didn't have a chance to inquire about Master Zhao if she wanted to.

These days, she often sees Master Zhao squatting in the back alley smoking a muffled cigarette.

He used to smoke too, but it was when he was tired to relieve his fatigue, and while smoking, he would chat with his neighbors for a few idle words, which was completely different from the current state of bowing his head and smoking.

Chef Zhao is indeed worried that, according to the manager's recent attitude, he is likely to heed Kim so-joo's suggestion: replace the tables in the restaurant with four-person tables, six-person tables or large round tables that can stew hot pot, instead of the traditional eight-immortal table.

In this way, the restaurant will focus on the new dishes that Jin Xiuzhu came up with, which makes Chef Zhao a little uneasy.

He is best at frying and stewing traditional dishes, Jin Xiuzhu came up with these innovative dishes that are very thorough, in fact, they are better than the novel dishes, once they master the method, anyone can get started, I didn't see Xiao Guo, who has been following Lao Hong to make pastries, will make dry pot bullfrogs, and serve them to customers, no one can make a difference.

If this development continues, can he continue to hold the position of the master?

A month ago, Xu Yin's appearance already made him uneasy, but at that time, the two agreed on the division of labor, he was responsible for frying and stewing, and Xu Yin was responsible for stir-frying and steaming, and they were all right.

Now there is a Jin Xiuzhu, saying that she is good at cooking, and she can't turn the pot on the stove, saying that she is not good at it, and the new dishes she came up with one after another really made the Red Star Hotel famous, otherwise the manager would not listen to her and plan to change the table.

In the future, will it be their traditional masters who will be replaced?

He's not like Lao Hong.

Lao Hong's family is a double worker, his daughter-in-law is the same as him, she has a stable salary every month, and her son has grown up, although he is unwilling to follow Lao Hong to learn pastry, but he also entered the factory and worked as an apprentice in the lathe workshop. Both parents also retired from the factory and have a little pension.

He is different, the old man has a son, his son is only twelve years old this year, and he is in the development period of eating the poor old man with half the eldest child, and his appetite is good; The daughter-in-law is also an elderly mother, and her health has not been good since she gave birth to her little daughter, so she can only do some manual work at home slowly, and the family of four depends on his salary.

His hometown is in the countryside, and his parents earn a living by earning a little work in the field. Recently, I heard that I was working on a contract production to households, and said that I would not be able to earn a share of the work in the future, and that I would hand over part of the land to the family and how much it produced, and the rest would be my own. Of course, it is a good thing for families with a lot of labor, but if there are only elderly people in the family, it is good to be self-sufficient and not increase the burden on their children at the end of the year, how can they be expected to help in turn?

As for his mother-in-law's mother-in-law, although she is a county worker, she has many children, and his daughter-in-law has seven brothers and sisters. Even if the mother-in-law wants to make up for it, there are still seven pairs of eyes staring at it.

Master Zhao has something hidden in his heart, and it is inevitable that he will be a little absent-minded.

At noon that day, the situation was wrong, and the patient's family complained about how the pork liver soup bought for the hospitalized father-in-law was mixed with a toad.

How can there be toads?

Oh, it's a bullfrog that hasn't been skinned yet, jumping out of the basket and jumping into the soup pot. During the lunch rush hour, the store was busy, and I didn't look carefully at the soup, which made me a little frightened.

Before this matter is put aside, at most the vegetable money will be returned, and the manager will not blame too much.

The masters of the state-run hotels are all very angry, what are they afraid of complaining? They serve iron jobs, can they still be laid off?

But now, the manager called Master Zhao and severely reprimanded him for more than two hours, and in the end, not only did the bonus of this month go to waste, but his salary was also deducted.

“…… Lao Zhao, you have been in this position for more than ten years, how can you still make such a low-level mistake? Luckily, it fell into an unskinned bullfrog, which can be the reason for its own jumping, but what if it was a dead mouse? The pesticide department must not target our hotel? You know now...... In short, you are so negligent as a master, what do the people below think? The purpose of deducting your salary and bonus is to raise your vigilance and avoid similar situations from happening again......"

Master Zhao wiped his face deeply: "Leader, I admit that I was a little deserted at the time, but the bullfrog is in charge of Xiaojin, and the bullfrog should be in the backyard and should not go into the kitchen." What's more, it's been a few days, and it's still a fuss about peeling a bullfrog, and I don't say anything about watching it jump into the soup pot. I'm responsible, isn't she responsible? ”

"Whew! You're a master, how can you deal with a new comrade? The manager picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly, "Although Xiao Jin is careless, she has provided a lot of new dish ideas to the restaurant, and this month's turnover has increased a lot, all of which are due to Xiao Jin." Two days ago, Secretary Liu accompanied the leaders from the capital to our restaurant for dinner, praised a few new dishes, and said when he was free to let the master of the city canteen come to our store to learn, what a face-saving thing! Even if Xiaojin has had it, it's worth it, right? ”

Master Zhao came back from the manager's office and remained silent.

Others didn't dare to come forward and ask, but Jin Xiuzhu didn't know that she was in trouble, so she leaned over and asked:

"Master Zhao, what did the manager call you for? Is it because of the soup at noon? According to me, the patient's family is also really, since he didn't drink a sip and has no effect on his body, why should he be so aggressive? It is inevitable that people will make mistakes, and they all apologize and return the money, what do you want! Master Zhao, don't worry, if the manager dismisses you for this, I'll go and tell the manager......"

"Dismissal?" Master Zhao turned his head and stared at her for a moment, "I am a regular worker in a state-run hotel, and I have worked in this position for more than ten years, who can dismiss me?" ”

He simply laughed.

The former temporary workers, seeing their masters, did not dare to come out, this temporary worker relied on the protection of the manager, usually in front of them is not big or small, but at this time he actually said what to dismiss.

"Uh......"

Only then did Kim so-joo realize that the regular workers of this era are holding iron rice bowls and eating national meals, and unless they have done something heinous, there is no such thing as dismissal.

She smirked: "I was wrong, I mean, if the manager ......"

"The manager deducted my bonus salary for this month." Master Zhao sneered and threw away the sweat towel in his hand, "What?" Are you going to pay me for this? Also, the bullfrog came into the kitchen because of you, and you do have to bear some responsibility. ”
