"Call it a day, call it a day!"

Christopher shouted a few times in the dining room to announce the end of the day's work.

He let out a long breath, took off the white chef's hat from his head, and wiped his sweat.

Colleagues finished their work, packed up their things and left, and everyone said goodbye to Christopher and said "see you tomorrow".

Christopher nodded his head one by one, and when he parted, he didn't forget to leave a message for everyone, "Tommy will be early tomorrow", "You should speed up the speed of your patties, Emide", "Don't drink at night, Victor", "Goodbye, good luck Milani", "Work harder, remember to count the inventory tomorrow morning..."

After instructing everyone one by one, Christopher was the only one left in the back kitchen of the Red Boots Restaurant.

It's not the Red Boots restaurant at the Stamp Center, it's the brand new Red Boots at the brand new Huawei Center in Inglewood.

It's the end of October, and there is still one day before the start of the regular season of the new season, when the Huawei Center will welcome its first game after it was put into use.

Originally, the super arena was expected to be completed and put into use in the first half of 2015, but the last time there was a shortage of funds, the entire stadium was built at a rapid pace after the introduction of Chinese engineering teams.

In the end, the super arena was completed half a year ahead of schedule, and it was officially put into use in October of '14, with three preseason games held to great effect.

The Red Head Boots restaurant, which was previously open in the Stamp Center, has also been relocated to the Huawei Center, and has been transformed from a small store into a chef restaurant in the Huawei Center.

This means that more than half of the food and beverage at the Huawei Center will be provided by Red Head Boots, their kitchen has expanded tenfold, the number of employees has tripled, and they have assembled an entire catering supply chain team to ensure the food and beverage supply for a major sports and entertainment event.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Christopher and the staff at the Red Head Boots restaurant, because the Huawei Center has the largest seating capacity in the NBA at present, with more than 25,000 seats in the regular seats plus VIP boxes, and more than 7,000 seats more seats in the Stamp Center, 5,000 more seats than the Chicago Union Center, which had the most seats before.

With the current Clippers' three-game winning streak and the vigorous momentum, the attendance rate of the Huawei Center in the new season will remain very high.

Tickets for 41 home games in the regular season were pre-sold, with more than half of the games already sold out, and the remaining games were also attended by more than 90%.

So, the Clippers for the new season are basically full, which means that more than 25,000 fans will come to the stadium every game to enjoy the game and enjoy the food.

This poses a huge challenge to the management, triage, security, and catering of the stadium, for which the management company of the stadium has hired a very professional team to manage it.

For example, the security of the stadium was handed over to Sloan, a reliable old friend, and his security company has grown bigger and bigger with the support of Min Congda, and has become the best security company in the Los Angeles area in the past two years.

Sloan hired retired and former personnel from the police department and the FBI to participate in security work, after all, it is not easy to maintain order and security in the entry and exit of 25,000 people.

In terms of some management system arrangements, the Huawei Center also specifically refers to the regulations of football fields and rugby fields, after all, football fields and rugby stadiums receive more people.

As for the catering, Christopher and his team are in full charge, and the pressure on Christopher's shoulders can be imagined.

In the pre-season drills, because the attendance is not very high, the pressure on the team is not too high, and the food supply can keep up.

Tomorrow the regular season begins, the Clippers will play the Oklahoma City Thunder at home, and the Clippers will present their third championship ring at home and raise the championship flag, and tickets for this game are already sold out.

As the first game of the new season, it is not only the appearance of the Clippers, but also the official appearance of the new arena, and the back kitchen will be running at full capacity for the first time, Christopher is of course worried.

After a long day of overtime drills, preparing all the necessary ingredients and seasonings for tomorrow, and everything was arranged, the employees all got off work, while Christopher remained in the Red Toe Boots restaurant, smoking a cigarette and calming his heart.

In the past few years, his life has been up and down, and it is easy to have a store in Stamp Center with Linda, but because of his impulsiveness, in order to repay Smart's favor, he killed Donasy and ran away.

In fact, Min Congda didn't hint that Christopher wanted to do this, but Christopher did it anyway, which shows one thing: this guy is not a master who can endure loneliness.

His heart is full of thirst for blood and killing, and his peaceful life is only his intermission, and once he has the opportunity, he will still return to the slaughterhouse, taste the taste of blood, and experience the thrill and excitement of the escape.

However, his halftime was getting longer and longer, and this time back in Los Angeles, he felt that he was too old to hold a gun anymore, and it would be nice to be able to handle a dinner knife.

After a few more puffs, Christopher extinguished the cigarette butt, took out a tissue, carefully wrapped the saliva-stained cigarette butt and stuffed it into his pocket, then took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and wiped all the places he touched to make sure there were no fingerprints.

As for the reason, this is his professional habit and cannot be changed.

Turn off the power in the restaurant and check the monitoring before leaving to make sure there are no problems.

Then he came out of the restaurant, looked left and right before going out, and made sure that no one was ambushed, and then he went out and locked the door.

Years of experience as a killer and on the run have kept him in a state of high tension all the time.

In fact, this has become the norm for him, and once he relaxes too much, he will feel uncomfortable, as if he is addicted to alcohol.

So he is quite satisfied with his job as the head chef of the arena restaurant, and he likes to fight hard every night to satisfy the diners.

At this time, the interior of the Huawei Center is still brightly lit, and the lights of a super arena like this one will not be turned off at night.

Many staff members are still busy all night, installing floors, cleaning, debugging equipment, and conducting renovation inspections.

Christopher stood on the top seat and looked down, which was much larger than the Stamp Center to the naked eye, with circular seats like the Colosseum, and the arena was more than 20 meters higher than the Stamp Center in order to accommodate more than 7,000 spectators.

In order to give the fans the best experience and comfort, the seats here are not cramped, but rather spacious, which makes the interior of the arena even more grandiose.

At the same time, because the stadium is higher than the average one, the fans above may not be able to see clearly, so the Huawei center has installed a super huge double-layer screen.

There are eight large LCD screens on the upper floor, so that fans in high places can clearly see the live picture and playback, and under the eight-sided large screen, there is also an ordinary four-sided large LCD screen, so that the audience in the middle and sitting on the sidelines can also see the live replay and some details when they look up.

Such a double-layer large screen can be said to be unique in the current NBA stadium, and it is specially customized for a super large arena like Huawei Center.

Christopher felt a sense of pride at the thought of being a part of this sprawling arena.

Now the Los Angeles Clippers have completely stepped out of the shadow of the Lakers, with three consecutive championships and a new court, and have become a real Los Angeles team, not a vassal of the Lakers or a Los Angeles parasite.

It's all because Smart Min, Christopher, who was so impressed that if Mr. Smart could take charge of the Los Angeles mafia, maybe he could revive the mafia on the West Coast without being beaten up by the black gangs.

If he and Ida are combined, maybe there is real hope.

The next day, October 30, although the game time was in the evening, Christopher came to the Red Head Boots restaurant in the Huawei Center early in the morning, and the battle in the kitchen was about to start in the morning.

When the freshest steaks, meatloaf and fish arrive that day, many ingredients must be prepared in the morning, prefabricated dishes must be sampled early, and drinks and beverages must be abundant.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the players began to warm up in the stadium, and the head chef of the restaurant ushered in the calm before the big game, everything was ready, and the big guys were recuperating and preparing physically and mentally for the busyness that began at six o'clock in the evening.

Christopher was alone in the back kitchen, cooking, making pizza, wings and french fries.

Because at half-past four, Min Congda would come to the Red Head Boots Restaurant for dinner, and Christopher would make this meal especially for him.

At half past four, Min Congda arrived on time, he politely entered the door, found an inconspicuous place to sit down, snapped his fingers, and told the waiter that he had booked a dinner.

Christopher personally brought this dinner and brought it to Min Congda, and said carefully, "Mr. Smart, I specially prepared it for you. ”

Min Congda nodded and said, "Thank you Christopher, sit down and have a drink together." ”

Christopher took off his chef's hat, sat down, brought two glasses, and Min Congda poured him a glass of wine.

The two took a sip, and the strong smell of liquor rose in their mouths, and both of them felt very happy and smiled.

Min Congda didn't say anything, munching on Christopher's cooking, giving him a thumbs up from time to time.

Christopher had been sitting across from Min Congda, and he felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw Mr. Smart eating so deliciously.

After eating, Min Congda poured another cup for each of them, clinked glasses, and drank it all, happily.

"Awesome, keep it up, Christopher."

After dinner, Min Congda wiped his mouth, got up and hugged Christopher, and then left the restaurant.

The two didn't do anything to communicate, but everything was silent, and this feeling would be understood by men.

At half past seven in the evening, the game between the Clippers and Thunder officially began.

Although the Thunder is missing Kevin Durant, the Thunder, with Westbrook, David Lee, and Harris Barnes, is still a powerhouse in the West.

And the Clippers, who have won three consecutive championships, have become a dynasty team, the number one dragon in the league, the enemy of the world, and every team wants to slaughter it to win and glory.

The Huawei Center, which was quite quiet more than two hours ago, is now so noisy that no one else can be heard, and Christopher has to use a roar to arrange the work of assigning the restaurant.

Because orders are flying towards the back kitchen of the restaurant like snowflakes, everyone is like worker ants in an anthill and keeps busy, in order to deliver the food to the customers on time.

The 25,000-seat arena, although there are other restaurants, but the Red Boots are responsible for nearly half of the food and beverage supply, which is extremely terrifying, so the back kitchen is much more intense than the game on the court.

In the case of ensuring the quality, the kitchen is eating like crazy, but fortunately, many fans have eaten dinner before coming, if they all go to the Huawei Center to watch the game while having dinner, the kitchen days do not need to pass, and it is useless to expand the capacity three times.

In between busy moments, Christopher still has time to watch the game on the field.

When he came out, he glanced at the big screen, and by the end of the second quarter, the Clippers were 56-51, leading the Thunder by five points.

It can be seen that the Thunder played well, and they only trailed by 5 points.

However, two minutes later, when Christopher looked at the end of the first half, the score had come to 62:51, and the Clippers led the Thunder by 11 points!

In just two rounds, the Clippers used two three-pointers to instantly open up the difference, and this offensive explosiveness is so strong that Clippers fans are used to it.

Christopher shook his head, thinking to himself that tonight, needless to say, was another massacre, an exciting massacre.

As Christopher expected, the Thunder with Durant can't compete with the Clippers, let alone without Durant?

The Clippers used a sudden burst in the second quarter to stretch the gap to 11 points.

Then, at halftime, the Clippers held a ring presentation ceremony and a flag-raising ceremony for the third championship flag.

In the sky above the Huawei Center, three "World Champion" flags flutter, and for the foreseeable future, several numbers will be retired and hung high on the ceiling.

The Clippers finally don't have to cover up the Lakers' championship flag and retired jerseys before every game, it's their home court, their home.

In the second half, the Clippers didn't give the Thunder a chance to turn around, and they kept the margin at about 15 points, and no matter how hard Westbrook tried, they couldn't narrow the difference.

A summer passed, although the Clippers lost Paul George and lost a big general, the players were not discouraged, on the contrary, everyone waited for George's return.

Curry, Harden, Davis and others have been honed by the U.S. national team, and their skills and experience have been further improved, and their strength has become stronger.

This is definitely not good news for the rest of the league.

By the fourth quarter, the number of diners began to drop dramatically, and everyone was well fed and drunk.

Christopher was finally able to stop, take a break, and enjoy the game.

In the end, the Clippers won the season opener with a score of 119-107 and a comfortable 12-point advantage.

Curry scored 22 points and 11 assists in the opening game, contributed a dunk in the fast break and fell down, and was capped by the basket after a failed dunk, which can be said to have successfully completed his task.

James Harden scored a team-high 35 points and had seven assists, just less than Westbrook's 37 points.

The goal within the Clippers this year is to let Harden win the MVP, so there is a shift to Harden in the ball possession.

The ability of a team to be so united is unique in the history of the NBA that the MVP is unique.

Successfully won this victory, a big drama ended, the players left the field, and the fans left satisfied.

Christopher and the staff began to pick up the pieces and get ready for the next game.

At present, the Huawei Center has not hosted other professional teams' competitions and large-scale events, and they are not so busy.

Once the concert or other professional team matches start in the future, the Red Toe Boots restaurant will be busy every day.

But this busyness is a fulfillment, an alternative thrill for Christopher.

After all the employees left, Christopher was the last one to leave, carefully locking the door, going to the underground garage and driving away.

He was in a good mood, even if Linda left him, he didn't feel anything, just a woman, what was the big deal?

He got into his Saturn sedan and drove away, opening the window to get some air as he reached an intersection in Inglewood's southern side.

He's usually very careful with his driver, but tonight he's all thinking about the race and the rest of the Red Boots Restaurant, just as he was when he first opened four years ago.

So he was careless, not noticing that a motorcycle was approaching him, and threw an M67 grenade into the car.

Two seconds later, the grenade exploded, and Christopher was seriously injured before he had time to open the car door and escape.

He was sent to the hospital for rescue, and three hours later, he unfortunately died, ending his life.
