Chapter IV Vegetable Washers in State-Owned Hotels
The reason why Lin Xiaobai wanted to give the job to Zhao Xiaomei was because he felt that the original owner was too much for his sisters-in-law.
The original owner relied on her identity as a sister-in-law, and when she saw her sisters-in-law wearing new clothes, she wanted to use it herself, but whenever her brothers bought anything new for her sisters-in-law, she had to grab it first, and if she liked it, she would take it for herself.
But even so, the sisters-in-law didn't mind lending money to the original owner. Such a good family, the original owner did too much.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, but I have bad teeth lately, so I don't dare to eat more sugar."
Candy at this time is rare, although Lin Xiaobai wants to eat candy very much, but he doesn't want to take advantage of his sisters-in-law anymore.
"Take it, don't be polite to the third sister-in-law, you have done me such a big favor, I don't have much money on hand now, I can only thank you with candy, and when I get my first month's salary, it is really good to buy it for you."
Zhao Xiaomei thought that Lin Xiaobai disliked too few candies, so she stuffed it to Lin Xiaobai, left a sentence and left.
Looking at the colorful candy in her hand, Lin Xiaobai couldn't wait to open it and eat it now, her hamster nature made her endure it, and she still put the candy in the drawer.
The next day, the family went out to work, Wang Aifang specially left food for Lin Xiaobai, she knew that her daughter couldn't cook, and she was worried that they would not be at home and Lin Xiaobai would be hungry.
Lin Xiaobai had breakfast, picked up a broom to clean up the yard at home, and went out dressed neatly.
With the memory of the original owner, she came to the nearest state-run hotel.
The railway compound is far from the city, so there are not many people in this state-run hotel.
It was ten o'clock in the morning, and the breakfast at the state-run restaurant had already been sold out, and the dishes for lunch were being prepared.
"If you want to eat, wait, come over at half past eleven."
The waiter at the door saw that Lin Xiaobai was coming in and thought she was going to eat.
Lin Xiaobai shook his head, "I'm not here to eat, are you recruiting here?" ”
The waiter was happy, "There is no shortage of people in our state-run hotel, little girl, let's find a job and go elsewhere." ”
She is an old man in the state-run hotel, her name is Pan Xiaorong, and she has been in the state-run hotel for four or five years.
Lin Xiaobai was not angry, but smiled sweetly, "I don't want to be a waiter, and I can't be a vegetable washer?" ”
Pan Xiaorong heard that she wanted to be a vegetable washer, and she felt even more strange, who didn't want to be a waiter in a state-run hotel?
The work of the vegetable washers is hard and unpleasant, and they are often scolded by the chef, so the vegetable washers in the back kitchen are all from the countryside, and they are willing to endure hardships and have a thick skin.
"No, there is no shortage of people."
Recently, she didn't hear that she was going to recruit workers, but Pan Xiaorong still rejected Lin Xiaobai.
"Xiaorong, who is on leave, the kitchen is dying of busyness now, you can do a favor!"
Lin Xiaobai was a little lost, and planned to go to other hotels to have a look, and another person came out of the hotel.
is a middle-aged woman, she dragged Pan Xiaorong to the back kitchen.
Lin Xiaobai took the initiative to walk in when he saw the stitches, "Auntie, you are short of people, right, do you think I can do it?" ”
He Qiuju looked at Lin Xiaobai, a fresh face.
"Aunt He, the little girl wants to come to our restaurant as a vegetable washer, but there is a shortage of people in the back kitchen, do you want her to go, I'm clumsy."
Pan Xiaorong didn't want to go to the kitchen to help, all she had to do was hard work, much more tiring than serving dishes and plates, when she saw Lin Xiaobai coming over, she hurriedly pushed her out.
He Qiuju glanced at Pan Xiaorong, "I think you don't want to help, you're really lazy, wait for me to talk to the chef to see if he's happy." ”
The cooks in the state-run hotels are very powerful, and there are many people who come to eat, which is in short supply, and the status of the chef in the restaurant is the highest.
Therefore, when recruiting people in the kitchen, you have to pass the chef level first.
"What's your name, where are you from, and why are you looking for a job here?"
He Qiuju entered the back kitchen, came out after a while, and asked Lin Xiaobai three questions in a row.
Lin Xiaobai walked closer, "My name is Lin Xiaobai, I am from our city, and I graduated from junior high school." I love cooking, so I want to try it at a state-run restaurant. ”
He Qiuju nodded, and went into the back kitchen again, probably passing on what Lin Xiaobai said to the chef.
"Our chef has a bad temper, whatever he says is what he says, don't talk back, when the time comes, make him angry, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Pan Xiaorong came to Lin Xiaobai's side, saw that she was not afraid at all, and vaccinated her in advance.
Lin Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully, in fact, she didn't care if the chef had a good temper or not, as long as she could go into the back kitchen and learn more, she would be happy.
After a while, He Qiuju came out again and asked Lin Xiaobai to follow her in.
"That's our restaurant's chef Master Zhang, your job today is to help him choose and wash vegetables."
Lin Xiaobai followed her line of sight, Master Zhang was about thirty years old, wearing a chef's hat, and he scraped the scales of a fish with a knife in his hand.
Lin Xiaobai showed a look of adoration and stared at it for a long time.
Master Zhang saw that she was still stunned, and reprimanded, "Didn't you say that you were going to work, why didn't you go to wash the vegetables and wait for me to arrange work for you?" ”
Sure enough, it was very fierce, Lin Xiaobai muttered in her heart, and hurriedly walked to the area where she was choosing vegetables, she needed to wash and peel a basket of potatoes and eggplants this morning.
It's not difficult for her, when she hoards food in the last days, her hands and feet must be much faster than doing this, otherwise she will die in the mouths of zombies.
She rolled up her sleeves and began to scrape the potato skin without delaying for a second, without dragging the mud and water, and shaving cleanly.
An hour later, she washed the scraped potatoes and eggplants and placed them in the pick-up area.
The time is almost up, Master Zhang has already prepared some of the dishes, and the rest of the dishes are more homely, potatoes and eggplant.
Heat the oil, add the potatoes and fry them until golden brown, then add the eggplant and continue frying.
Green peppers are used to enhance the flavor, cut into sections, and then add seasonings such as bean paste, light soy sauce, etc.
Finally, add the minced meat and stir well, cover the pot and simmer for a while.
Chef Zhang is very familiar with the control of the heat, and the dish is ready in less than ten minutes.
Lin Xiaobai didn't have a chance to serve the plates, she could only look at the dishes a few times.
"You little girl, you are quite capable, yes, you can continue to work on a cloudy day, remember not to be late."
Chef Zhang finished cooking and it was time to rest, and when he saw Lin Xiaobai looking at the dishes served out, he felt that she was quite sincere.
"Okay Master Zhang, I'll do it well!"
Lin Xiaobai pursed his lips, although he couldn't taste the taste of roasted eggplant with potatoes and braised grass carp, it was good to be able to come in and work.
"Here's the rest, give it to you, and it'll be lunch."
Chef Zhang brought out a plate of potatoes and eggplants from the side, which was not enough for one serving, so there was left.
Lin Xiaobai's face showed joy, she actually had the opportunity to eat the dishes made by Master Zhang.
She carefully took the small plate and brought herself a large bowl of rice.
