Chapter 41: Living Treasure
Lin Xiaogou followed Mr. Ma into the workshop on the first floor of the canteen, and immediately felt the heat wave on his face, the white mist of steam rising, the sound of knives slashing at the cutting board, the crackling sound of firewood burning, and the sound of stir-frying...... Mixed into a fiery symphony.
The nearly 20-meter-long stone platform is stacked with all kinds of vegetables and meat, and more than a dozen knife hands wearing white coats and kitchen hats are washing and cutting ingredients. There are ten stoves side by side on one side of the back wall, and what makes Lin Xiaogou strange is that these stoves are far away from each other, and they are separated by a board wall in the middle, forming a clear card position, and now there is a cook cooking in each stove, and a person wearing a green coat and hat is responsible for lighting the fire.
Steward Ma introduced: "All the students of our Xingyue Academy add up to nearly 2,000 people, and the daily meals are provided by our canteen, and the staff of the canteen is close to 100 people. After speaking, he pointed to the Tsing Yi hats who were in charge of lighting the fire in the distance, and continued: "Your future job is to be responsible for lighting the fire for the chefs, of course, the work is not limited to lighting the fire, but also to chop the firewood every day for later use, clean the kitchenware, clean the kitchen, etc."
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but be speechless, it seems that the fireworker is actually the lowest-status handyman here, specializing in the dirtiest and most tiring work, but the kitchen atmosphere here is very strong, it is really an excellent place to cultivate the kitchen qi, and you can only endure it if you are tired and dirty.
Steward Ma patted Lin Xiaogou's shoulder and said: "Xiaogou, young people should be down-to-earth, doing firework is only temporary, seeing that those knife workers don't have them, they also started from firework before." ”
Lin Xiaogou smiled and said: "Xiaogou understands, don't worry, I will definitely work hard." ”
Seeing Lin Xiaogou like this, Steward Ma nodded with satisfaction: "Manager He praised you for your cleverness, I also think that you kid is very aura, do a good job, I will try to promote you to a knife worker as soon as possible." ”
Lin Xiaogou pretended to be excited and said, "Thank you, Steward Ma." ”
Steward Ma snorted and continued: "By the way, I would like to remind you of one thing, you are absolutely not allowed to raise your head to watch when lighting the fire for the chef, and you can't peek at it. ”
Lin Xiaogou was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, the dare was that the chef was worried that his unique cooking skills would be stolen, so he set this strange rule, and said in his heart: "I rub, it's really an era of self-cherishment, I, Lin Xiaogou, am a high cabbage student from the New South, inheriting the cooking skills accumulated in China for thousands of years, and I can use the stealing teacher, on the contrary, the master will dump your so-called chefs Jiutiao Street when he takes it out." ”
Seeing a trace of disdain on Lin Xiaogou's face, Steward Ma couldn't help but secretly wonder, this kid just said that he wanted to be a chef, could he really have real skills?
"Remember, you must not peek at the chef when you try to do it, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" Mr. Ma emphasized again.
At this moment, the chef who was stir-frying at the No. 3 stove suddenly picked up the spoon and knocked it on the forehead of the fireman next to him, and the fireman suddenly covered his forehead and screamed in pain, but the chef refused to stop, and the oily spoon struck the back of the head twice, making a thumping sound, obviously very heavy.
The people around him just glanced casually and went back to work, apparently accustomed to this kind of thing.
Steward Ma said helplessly: "That kid's name is Han Xiaobao, it's not the first time he has been beaten, it's really not a long memory." ”
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help frowning, this is too ruthless, the spoon has just been picked up from the oil pot, Nima, the fireworker has no human rights.
This is the horse steward who shouted loudly: "Han Xiaobao, get here!"
The fireman who had been beaten just now walked over with a frightened look on his face, and said in a panic: "Steward Ma, I'm ...... I didn't peek just now, but my neck was tired and I accidentally raised my head. ”
This fireman was about twenty years old, and he looked very good-eyed, but at this time the small hat he was wearing on his head was drenched with oil, his forehead was red and swollen, and his face was blistered by the hot oil in many places, which was really miserable.
Steward Ma frowned and scolded, "How many times have you done this?"
Han Xiaobao lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Fifteen times!"
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help but be speechless, this benevolent brother is really persevering, in order to steal cooking skills, he put life and death out of the way, awesome!
"Han Xiaobao, for your father's sake, this steward will give you another chance in the end, if there is a next time, just pack up your baggage and get out. Steward Ma scolded sharply.
Han Xiaobao's face was pale, and he nodded resignedly.
Steward Ma snorted coldly, pointed at Lin Xiaogou and said, "He is a new fireman, I will sleep in your bunk in the future, now take him to get two sets of uniforms, and then go back to the residence to clean up." ”
Han Xiaobao glanced at Lin Xiaogou and said with a depressed expression: "Come with me!"
Lin Xiaogou took two sets of pyrotechnics' Tsing Yi hats under Han Xiaobao's lead, and then walked towards the accommodation.
Lin Xiaogou saw that this thing looked listless and depressed, and said with a smile: "My name is Lin Xiaogou, what about you?"
"Han Xiaobao!"
"We all have a small word in our name, it's really fateful, and it's a bunk bed, please take care of it in the future. ”
Han Xiaobao glanced at Lin Xiaogou and said, "Lin Xiaogou, your name is really weird, it can't be compared with my name." Look at you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, call me Brother Bao in the future, don't worry, I will cover you in the future. ”
"I'll wipe it!" Lin Xiaogou rolled his eyes secretly, seeing that you were still covering me like a bird, it was almost the same when he turned around, and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, you don't need to rub some medicine on your forehead?"
Han Xiaobao took off his hat and wiped his face casually, and said disappreciatively: "It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time!"
Lin Xiaogou was sweating secretly, but he heard the thing scolding: "Fuck/fuck, that fart oil essence is the most ruthless!"
"What the hell is the oil essence?" Lin Xiaogou asked.
Han Xiaobao explained angrily: "It's the thing that knocked me on the spoon just now, the fart oil essence is the nickname that everyone gave him in private, this birdman always loves to pat the butler's ass, you look at his body shape, his ass is fat and oily, and he is fucking super horny, and the sperm/worm is dead and lewd/worm on the brain, so everyone calls him fart oil essence behind his back." ”
Lin Xiaogou almost fell headlong, this nickname is too special!
Han Xiaobao suddenly stopped and said seriously: "By the way, I have to tell you, don't look up when you are a fireman, otherwise you will be beaten." ”
Lin Xiaogou smiled secretly: "Then why do you still want to peek?"
Han Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "I'm different from you, I swore that I would become a chef in my life!"
Lin Xiaogou's heart moved, and he asked, "Then what skills did you steal?"
Han Xiaobao said proudly: "Naturally, I have learned, otherwise those fat beatings will not be in vain, I am not afraid to tell you, when I am qualified enough to become a teacher, Lao Tzu will resign and quit, and go back to open a restaurant to be the boss, without looking at other people's faces." ”
Lin Xiaogou gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Bao is amazing!"
Han Xiaobao patted Lin Xiaogou's shoulder and said boldly: "Lin Xiaogou, although it is the first time we have met, I think we are very close, and your temper is very appetizing to me, so let's do it, in the future, when my restaurant opens, you can come and mix with Brother Bao and me." ”
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help crying and laughing, this guy actually wanted to encircle himself as a junior brother, he was too self-conscious, and said with a smile: "Wait for Brother Bao to come out of the school." ”
At this time, the two of them had already walked to a building, which should be the canteen staff dormitory.
Han Xiaobao took Lin Xiaogou into room 106, pointed to a bed and said, "You will sleep here in the future, and I will be on your top bunk." ”
This room is about 40 square meters, and there are three beds on each side next to the wall, and each bed is divided into bunk beds, that is, twelve people.
Lin Xiaogou couldn't help frowning, so many people lived in one breath, it was impossible for him to use the Boiling Heaven Ding to cultivate at night, and asked, "Is there a separate room?"
Han Xiaobao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Only chef-level people are qualified to live in a single dormitory, and our little handymen live in a large group." Of course, if you can afford it, you can live in a single house in the college, but you can't afford to pay the rent for two months. Brother, don't think about it, you get used to it when you live. ”
Lin Xiaogou sighed quietly, originally he didn't care about being a fireman or a chef, but now that he heard that the chef was qualified to live in an independent room, his mind suddenly became lively, it seems that he still has to fight for the position of chef, with his own cooking skills, it should not be difficult to become a chef.
"The bath is inside, you quickly clean up the bed, and then change your clothes, I will take you back to the canteen to try out!" Han Xiaobao said.
Lin Xiaogou nodded, put his burden on the bed, and put the longbow under the bed.
Han Xiaobao's eyes lit up and asked, "Xiaogou, you can also shoot bows and arrows?"
Lin Xiaogou smiled: "I used to be an Orion!"
"Tsk, it's actually good to be an Orion, it's free, why do you want to be a fireman?"
"It's easy to be a hunter, but it's dangerous, and you might be eaten by wild beasts that day!"
"It's also said that although we are the lowest petty workers in Xingyue Academy, in the eyes of outsiders, we are at least working in Xingyue Academy, and the treatment is better than that of ordinary restaurants. ”
The two of them were idle, and Lin Xiaogou had already put on his uniform and turned into a family member in a green coat and a small hat.
Han Xiaobao looked Lin Xiaogou up and down, and said with a strange look in his eyes: "You kid looks like a dog." ”
Lin Xiao straightened his hat and said with a smile: "Where is Brother Bao, you are handsome!"
"Although I understand that your kid is patting on the back, but listen to comfort, let's go, brother will take you to familiarize yourself with the working environment!" Han Xiaobao waved his hand proudly and took the lead out of the dormitory.
The two came to the courtyard behind the canteen, and saw that the wood here was piled up, Han Xiaobao threw Lin Xiaogou an axe, and said: "In the future, the firewood for the day will be chopped before the fifth watch every day, at least two hundred catties." ”
"Rub, wouldn't that mean you have to get up in the middle of the night to chop firewood?" Lin Xiaogou exclaimed.
"That's not necessary, you can chop wood after dinner, because the cafeteria doesn't serve supper at night, so you don't have to work at night. ”
Lin Xiaogou was overjoyed when he heard this, so that he could spare time at night to cultivate Xingyuan, and now the key was to get a place to live in a separate courtyard.
