The story of a cook

Chapter 131 Burned

No success of any kind comes by chance.

When we are doing something, we may think it is very simple at the beginning, there is nothing complicated, and we will feel bored while doing it.But when we keep doing one thing repeatedly, and after a few years, someone starts to give you a thumbs up, it proves that you have succeeded, and you are an expert in this field.

After so many years, people will still ask me for the recipe of dog meat hot pot. In fact, there is no recipe. It is just that I have eaten too much dog meat and have a more systematic and detailed understanding of dog meat, so I developed dog meat hot pot.Just like the "oil seller" in the ancient Chinese class he learned in school, he is not familiar with this skill.

After serving the dog meat hot pot, the cooking was reduced.In response to the words of the common people, sell one but not buy two, and do not kick the shuttlecock when playing ga.Pig trotters and pig ears have formed their own characteristics, and the sales volume has not decreased, and [-] pieces are still sold short every day.Customers at the barbecue restaurant ordered hot pot, and I processed it in the back kitchen and went straight up.The hot pot at the old shop, I processed it, and Sister Jin brought it over.A large casserole with dog meat, mutton, dried cabbage, tofu, and a pot of soup weighs seven or eight catties. For a lesbian, it is also physical work.

One day I said, "Miss Jin, if you feel too tired, I'll tell my aunt to get another guy to do it."

Sister Jin was taken aback, and said: "I can do it, it's fine, there's no need to change it." Then she looked at me and said, "Master, do you think I'm a bit stupid for a woman, so I won't be in a hurry."

I said, "It's not Miss Jin, I just think you're carrying a big casserole, which is quite heavy, and you have to cross the road. It's too hard."

Sister Jin said, "It's okay. I'm the one who works in the fields at home. What kind of work is this? You really think I'm a young lady. I also came from the crop field. We Xian people also farm land and corn."

I just laughed and said nothing.

One day at noon, the guests ordered a lot of hot pots, and they ordered one after another. When the last one was ordered from the barbecue shop, I just finished it. Sister Jin also came back from the old shop. I said: "The last one is here. , I'll take it out."

Sister Jin said, "No, I'll come."

I saw that she was not wearing gloves, so I asked her, "Where are the gloves?"

Sister Jin said: "It's an old store."

I said, "Let me handle it, it's hot, you can't handle it without gloves."

"It's okay, just a few steps, and it will be there before it's hot." Sister Jin said and was about to serve hot pot.

I didn't care about it at the time, because my hands had already been practiced and I wasn't afraid of getting hot.After thinking about it, I am fine and she should be fine too, the result is due to this carelessness.

Sister Jin went to serve the casserole. It was alright when she first served it, but she couldn’t take it anymore when she picked it up. The heat from the casserole was transmitted to her, and she began to feel hot. The first reaction when someone is hot is to throw away the things in her hand. Jin My sister is no exception, just throw the casserole.I stood opposite her, and when I saw her "Oops", the casserole rushed towards me. My first reaction was to reach out to pick it up. The casserole caught it, and the hot soup inside spilled directly onto my thighs and down my pants. Let's go down, it's good that when I catch the casserole, I put the casserole directly on the case, otherwise, a pot of soup would have to be poured on me.I also said "Oops", jumped up, and quickly shook my pants. My thigh was fine, but the soup flowed down, mainly my calf. The left calf was burned severely, and it was excruciatingly painful.

I hurried to the sink, turned on the faucet, poured two handfuls of water on my left calf, and quickly rolled up my pants, only to see that my left calf was red.

Sister Jin hurried over and asked in a panic, "Is it burnt? Does it hurt?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "What did you say?"

Sister Jin reached out to touch her red-hot left calf, and I hurriedly said, "Don't touch it, the skin will fall off as soon as you touch it."

Sister Jin asked nervously: "What's the matter, go to the hospital quickly."

He cried when he spoke.

I said: "No, it's okay, you hurry up and break three eggs, and give me the egg whites."

Sister Jin went to break eggs, and at this time Sister Wang, Sister Ma, and Sister Cui came over.Sister Ma saw my red calf and asked, "Why did you fix it? Why is it so hot? This is a big piece."

I said, "The hot pot soup is hot."

Sister Ma asked: "Why is the hot pot soup still burning your legs, did you stop it?"

Sister Jin came over after beating the eggs, and said in a low voice, "I didn't hold it, it was hot, I just threw it away, and it burned Master Tan."

I took the egg white handed over by Sister Jin and began to touch my calf.

Sister Ma asked: "Why are you rubbing it on? Why don't you rush to buy burn ointment?"

I said, "The scald ointment doesn't work, it's scalded with water, it's best to wipe it with egg white, it won't cause blisters."

Egg white is a dry thing. After it is applied, it will dry out in a while, tighten the skin and prevent blisters.

Sister Ma said: "It's the first time I heard that egg white can prevent burns. If it works, why would you use burn ointment?" Then she said to Sister Jin: "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and buy it for your master." Go burn ointment."

Sister Jin seemed to have just recovered, and turned to go out.

After wiping off the egg whites, I felt a lot cooler on my legs, so I took off my shoes, checked that my feet were fine, and put them on.

Said to Sister Ma, Sister Wang, and Sister Cui: "It's okay, it will be fine in two days."

Sister Wang said with concern: "Don't be careless, just keep your trousers rolled up, don't let them fall down, you don't like it when you cover them."

I said, "Yes, it's summer."

Then I started to refill a hot pot, heat up and adjust the soup, this time it was Ma Jie who put on gloves.

When working in the kitchen, you have to be careful. Don’t be careless. Once people are careless, unexpected things will happen.I am light. The hot pot soup is [-] degrees in a large spoon, and it is [-] degrees when poured into a casserole. After a while, it is poured on the legs, and it is [-] degrees at most.If it's one hundred degrees, nothing will work, just a layer of skin will fall off.

When Sister Jin came back from buying scald ointment, she saw me sitting there, squatting in front of me with only my left leg, and said, "Let me apply it for you."

I said, "No need, it's nothing, it's just a minor injury."

She wanted to put burn ointment on her legs, but I didn't let her. I still put egg white on it.

Sister Jin said, "Give it to me, and I'll wipe it on for you. Your pussy waist is uncomfortable and you don't have energy."

I said: "It's okay, I can do it."

Sister Jin took the egg white bowl and helped me wipe it on my legs.While wiping, he asked, "Does it hurt?"

I said, "It hurt at the beginning, but it doesn't hurt much now. Your hand is fine."

Sister Jin said: "My hands are fine, I'll throw them away when they get hot, I'm fine."

I said: "Be careful in the future, you must wear gloves when serving the casserole."

Sister Jin said: "Well, I must wear it in the future."

She wiped egg whites on my legs while weeping, and said, "I blame me for not holding it back, otherwise I wouldn't be able to burn you. Look at the hot one, it's all red, won't the skin fall off?"

I said: "It's okay, don't worry, I didn't blame you, so don't cry."

Sister Jin still shed tears.

Sister Ma came over and saw Sister Jin squatting and wiping egg whites on me, and said, "Oh, who's daughter-in-law is so obedient and knelt down to rub her husband's legs, what mistake did she make?"

When I got home from get off work at night, Lin Yan was already in bed, so I slept away from her this time, my legs hurt and I felt a little uncomfortable, but the blisters didn't come up.

Lin Yan woke up in the morning and said, "Old Tan, you didn't hug me last night."

I showed her my left leg, and she looked at it and asked, "What's wrong, it's so hot."

I told her what had happened, and she said, "You have a work-related injury, so you don't need to go to work, and you can take care of it at home."

I said, "Where did the work-related injuries come from? I haven't heard of any work-related injuries in restaurants."

She said: "Why is this not a work-related injury? There should be a work-related injury."

I said: "Then we have to wait until we have money, open a restaurant by ourselves, and set up a work-related injury for the employees."

She said: "We don't open restaurants when we have money, let's do other things."

I asked: "What are you doing?"

She said: "Just work in a photocopying agency, and the copying agency makes money."

I just laughed and said, "You are working in a photocopying agency, so you say you want to work in a copying agency. If you work in the government, do you have to work in the government?"

Lin Yan said: "What's the matter, just don't let me do it. If you let me do it, I will do everything, as long as I make money."

People who have never lived a hard life do not know the importance of money and how much they desire money.

At that time, there was no such thing as a work-related injury in a restaurant, and people working in the restaurant were hardly injured.I just burned my legs, and continued to work without delaying the work in the aisle.

When I came to the barbecue restaurant, Jin sister met and asked: "How is it? Does it still hurt?"

There is no expression of concern, worry and concern are written all over his face.

I said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's all right."

Sister Jin said, "Let me roll up your trousers for you, let me see."

I said, "Otherwise, I have to pull it up, and it will be uncomfortable when I work."

Sister Jin squatted down and carefully rolled up my trousers, her calves were still red.At this time, the old lady came in, looked at my legs, and asked with concern: "Tanzi, are you okay?"

I said, "It's all right, Auntie."

The old lady pointed at Sister Jin and yelled a few words in the Korean language aggressively. Sister Jin lowered her head and said nothing.

After the old lady left, I asked Sister Jin: "What did my aunt say about you just now?"

Sister Jin said: "You scolded me, what else can I say?"

I asked, "What did you scold you for?"

Sister Jin imitated the tone of the old lady and said: "Look at you, you are so stupid, you know what you can do, you know how to get beaten, this little Tanzi has nothing to do, if you have something to do, you can serve him for the rest of your life." Then she said to me : "Just say mine."

I said, "This old lady is unreasonable."

Sister Jin said: "My aunt is like that, with a sharp mouth and a tofu heart." Then she asked me: "Master, what did your wife say when you came home yesterday?"

I said, "When I went back, she was already asleep. She didn't look at it. She just watched it this morning. She didn't say anything. She told me to pay more attention to my work in the future."

Sister Jin asked, "Did you say I did it?"

I teased Sister Jin and said, "I told you, she's coming to scratch you today."

Sister Jin asked: "Really?"

I said: "Fake, just kidding, it's okay, let's work."

In the afternoon, Sister Jin bought a lot of fruit for me. I was really embarrassed. In fact, there was nothing wrong with it. When I was working in the kitchen, it was common to burn, scald, or be cut by a knife. Don't make a fuss, and don't take it seriously. Sister Jin probably feels sorry.

After three days, the legs were basically healed, and after a week passed, nothing happened.In severe cases, the skin gradually peels off, and the new skin that grows back is dark in color and has no pores, so I can't sweat in summer.Now the skin on the left calf is two colors, one is darker and the other is lighter, but you can't see it unless you look carefully.

Sister Jin always felt very guilty, and a week later she asked Sister Ma and the three of us to have a meal together.

At the dinner table, Sister Ma asked me: "Master Tan, you really don't plan to work here for a long time?"

I said, "Yes, I will leave if there is a suitable one outside."

Sister Ma said: "However you go, it's great to be here, and there are beautiful women with you every day, I don't believe that you will miss us after you leave."

I said: "Can you not want to, you are so kind to me."

Sister Ma said, "If you think we're still going, then we won't."

I said, "No, I have to earn money. I don't have much money to be a chef in a barbecue restaurant. Besides, I want to learn more."

Sister Ma said: "If you really leave, come back and have a look when you think you are free."

I said, "That must be."

Sister Jin said, "Don't forget us when the time comes."

I said: "How can I, as long as I see this leg, I will think of you."

Miss Jin smiled embarrassedly.

I said, "I haven't left yet. It looks like I'm leaving. I don't know if you expect me to leave or if you really don't want me to leave."

Sister Ma said: "You promised to leave. I don't want you to leave. It's a pleasure to work with you. I can't cooperate enough. As for others, they are like gold. I guess I don't want you to leave at all." , even if you two are not in love, she is willing to guard you every day, just guarding you like an old man, hey——It's infatuation."

Sister Ma made jokes about me and Sister Jin when she had nothing to do, and she was no stranger to it. In fact, Sister Jin liked me for sure, and I was not a fool, so I could tell.It's just that it's better to let it not have this kind of liking. It's good to be a colleague and a friend.

Working together happily is better than anything else.
