Volume 1 Chapter 13 Formal Workmanship

The shopkeeper told Li Tian a lot of precautions, how big the firewood is chopped into, how to stack it steadily, and other places to pay attention to in the house.

The warning made Li Tian not take it lightly. If there is a fire in the firewood room, then the whole restaurant is in danger.

This is also why the restaurant specially invited a person to be responsible for chopping firewood, not only for this person to chop wood, but also for him to be responsible for taking care of the firewood room.

Of course, after work at night, Li Tian can go back to the dormitory, and there will be a guard on duty to take care of the entire restaurant. After all, winter is coming, and when winter comes, especially when it snows. At that time, the temperature plummeted, and if you slept in the firewood room for one night, you would have to freeze out of illness even if you didn't freeze to death.

A place like the firewood room will not easily let guests in no matter what time it is, and if someone really has bad intentions, then the restaurant is finished.

After listening to the shopkeeper's request, Li Tian finally knew that it was not easy to do a good job in the firewood room.

It is not enough to have strength, and the account must also be calculated, because the firewood in the restaurant is based on demand, and every two days you have to go to the woodcutter in the mountains to purchase.

Basically, how much to use, how much to buy, how much to split, there will indeed be a little preparation, but not much.

Tianxiang Restaurant has never chopped a lot of firewood together, and then piled up the firewood room to the brim, afraid that if you do that, there will be a fire, and finally it will cause a big disaster.

From this point of view, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Restaurant is really capable, and the preventive measures and remedies are fully prepared.

There are a few large vats at the door of the firewood room and in the corner of the yard, which are full of water, which can not be used at ordinary times, and if the firewood room is really on fire, it is the most timely to use these water to fight the fire.

Fire and water are ruthless, and once there is a fire, no one knows what serious consequences will be.

It is under this strict requirement that Tianxiang Restaurant has been open for so many years and has not had a fire.

The shopkeeper here finished registering Li Tian, and learned that Li Tian had finished breakfast, and did not leave him in the front hall, urging him to hurry back to the back hall firewood room to get acquainted with it, and now Li Tian's most important task is to ensure that the fire in the room cannot be broken.

In fact, on the way back to the firewood room from the front hall, Li Tian had been thinking about another thing, the personnel arrangement, which should be said by the Wang Steward, but why didn't he see the Wang Steward before and after today?

What Li Tian didn't know was that Steward Wang was lying down recuperating from his injuries at this moment.

Yesterday, the steward took the silver bracelet and went out the back door to another tryst place that had been scheduled. Before the earth shook, he was already full of wine and food and thought about its desires, and he was about to hug the beautiful woman and prepare to do some good deeds.

Coincidentally, at that time, the whole town shook, and the Wang Steward, who was holding the beauty, was accidentally pressed to the fifth limb by the frightened beauty, and the whole person wilted in an instant. Looking at this situation, it is estimated that it will not be able to recover in ten days and half a month.

Let's go back to Li Tian.

When Li Tian returned to the firewood room, Hou Ping didn't know where to go to work, and the cover in the corner was also taken away, Li Tian felt that there should be a room in the restaurant to store these things.

Lao Zhangtou was suddenly injured and went home yesterday, which is equivalent to the fact that since last night, the chopped firewood has been used, but it has not been replenished.

Although Li Tian couldn't see that there was much change in the remaining firewood, it was basically the same as what he saw yesterday.

But from the anxious urging of the shopkeeper, Li Tian could feel that it was very likely that after the restaurant began to get busy with guests, the chopped firewood would not be enough to use.

The real situation is similar to what Li Tian guessed. And it's not because there are many guests who need a large amount of firewood to burn the fire, so the firewood is not enough.

It's because Li Tian's chopping speed is too slow, and the firewood chopped in an hour may be burned in a while. The chopping wood can't keep up with the speed of consumption, which is what the shopkeeper is worried about.

When Li Tian started chopping wood, he realized that he really underestimated this work.

To chop firewood, the length of the woodcutter is generally relatively long, if you want to use firewood normally, you must first saw each piece of wood in half from the middle, and even some too long need to be sawed three sections, so the length is just right.

Among them, the finer ones are fine, you can cut them directly with an axe, or cut them in half, and then step on them with your feet and pry them hard, and you can also pry them off.

But those coarse, this set is useless at all, and must be sawed off little by little with a saw. When the saw reaches the middle of the firewood, it is very dull, and it takes a lot of force, and even needs to be sawn again from the other side to cut the firewood.

It takes a lot of time just to sawn the wood into pieces of wood of the right size.

Secondly, according to Li Tian's idea, chopping wood is nothing more than putting the wooden stakes and chopping them with an axe, and the wood is broken in half. It's easy to get the job done every day, and you can rest or stroll around.

But in reality, this is not the case.

If this is the case, Tianxiang Restaurant will not set up a special guy to chop wood. The shopkeeper will not tell Li Tian, and he will call people when he is too busy.

Indeed, at the beginning, Li Tian really couldn't do this job alone.

Each piece of wood has a texture, and if you can't find it accurately, you may only be able to chop off a small piece with an axe, and the remaining large piece is still too big to fit into the stove pit, so you have to split it again.

And this time, because the good part of the split has been chopped down according to the texture before, there will be a high chance of slipping and splitting crookedly.

You can't turn it around and split it in another direction, because then it's already unstable.

In the end, even if the wood is chopped, a lot of time and effort are wasted.

If you want to chop firewood well, hand accuracy and strength are indispensable, which is why when Lao Zhangtou saw Li Tian's sturdy body for the first time, he would smile and say yes.

Seeing that the firewood piled up in the firewood room was taken away one by one by the firewood burners in the kitchen, Li Tian also became anxious.

Li Tian remembered what the shopkeeper had said, if he was too busy, he would call someone for help, and hurriedly went to ask the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper also guessed that it would be like this, so he directly asked Hou Ping to come over.

One of them is responsible for sawing and the other is responsible for chopping.

With the efforts of the two of them, the speed of chopping wood is a little faster, but they can keep up with the speed of consumption.

"Xiaotian, you are also unlucky enough, Lao Zhangtou left directly, and he didn't teach you the skills of chopping wood." Hou Ping is also fighting for Li Tian.

"Little God, don't you know, Lao Zhangtou has a set of wood, just like the kind of wooden block you are chopping now, I have seen Lao Zhangtou chopping, it is really an axe, and I don't know how he did it." Seeing that he was not in a hurry to get firewood from the kitchen, Hou Ping couldn't help but slow down and talk to Li Tian.

"Who says it's not, now I know, this job is really hard to do, no wonder the woodcutter and the second child in front of me can get the same salary." Li Tian also sighed, and now he can only grope for his own split~
