The story of a cook

Chapter 154

In the 90s, restaurants included kitchens.Contracting the kitchen means that the owner of the restaurant contracts the entire kitchen to one person, and the two negotiate the price, and then the boss pays this person every month, and is not responsible for recruiting people. The person who uses the kitchen is responsible for how many people use the kitchen. It has nothing to do with the boss. Whoever pays the salary of the kitchen staff will be responsible for opening the kitchen. It has nothing to do with the boss.

It is more profitable to cover the kitchen, but I have never done it.

The club's Cantonese kitchen is contracted by Ah Fa.Afa earned a lot of money when he first started contracting. In the past two months, the club’s business has not been good, and he has not been paid. Afa has not received any money, and he has not paid the staff in the kitchen.

There were originally two people in the rough processing room, but now it is not busy, and one of the elder brothers, who is in his 30s, made Afa dismiss him.When I was dismissed, I told people that the club is not paying salary now, and he doesn't have much money in his hand, so I asked the big brother to come back to get the salary in ten days.It stands to reason that since the family was dismissed and the kitchen was contracted by Ah Fa, it has nothing to do with the club whether you can pay or not. It is impossible for the employees to manage the club and ask for money. They have to ask you Ah Fa for money.If you fire someone, you have to pay them a salary.

That elder brother is from Northeast China and he is very talkative. When he left, he said it was fine, so he came back ten days later to get it.Ten days later, the elder brother came over and asked Ah Fa for his salary. Ah Fa said that the club didn't pay him, and he didn't have any money, so he couldn't do it.This time the big brother quit, and showed his temperament from the Northeast, and got angry with Ah Fa, and everyone in the kitchen went over to watch the fun.

Wang Hua said, "Brother Tan, there seems to be a fight over there."

I was sitting there carving flowers and said: "I can't fight, if I fight, it won't be like this."

After all, Wang Hua was young and childlike, so he said to me, "Brother Tan, I'll go and have a look."

I said, "Okay, go ahead, stay away, don't really hit you."

Wang Hua said he was fine and went to watch the fun.

To be honest, there is nothing to watch in this bustle. If someone comes to ask for wages, you can pay them. Otherwise, don’t allow them to come and pick them up.

In the past five or six minutes, I heard the voice of the Cantonese cuisine kitchen getting louder, and someone shouted "Other—" Wang Hua ran back and said to me: "Brother Tan, rough processing That elder brother took out the roast duck fork from the roasting room, and chased Ah Fa to stab him."

I asked, "Is it tied?"

Wang Hua said: "It wasn't tied, Ah Fa ran away, and the elder brother was chasing after him with a fork."

I said, "It's nothing. Even if I catch up, I don't dare to pierce it. It's just to scare people."

Wang Hua said: "I think it's true, that big brother is impatient."

I said, "It's okay to be impatient. He's here to ask for money, not to stab someone."

Wang Hua said: "The same is true for Ah Fa. He is so rich as a chef, so he opened it for others. It doesn't have much money, just over 700."

I said, "I'm used to it. I think people in the Northeast are easy to fool, so I just want to procrastinate, until the end I can't give it."

Wang Hua said: "The kitchen is paid to earn money. When I was working in Turtle City, the kitchen was hired. The head chef can earn money. I only get 200 yuan when I work in the kitchen for a month."

I said, "If you work as an apprentice here, it's only two hundred a month."

Wang Hua said: "It's different here than there. You can't learn anything. You just kill turtles every day. You can learn something here."

As I was talking, I saw Ah Fa running over, running directly behind me, panting, a little out of breath, it seemed that he was kicked out enough.As soon as he arrived, the elder brother rushed over from behind with a fork in his hand, followed by a few people watching the excitement.

Seeing Ah Fa running up to me and standing behind me, the eldest brother ran over holding a fork and was about to pierce it, Wang Hua was so frightened that he ran away.

This is what people often say that if something wants to find you, even if you are lying on the kang, you can be recruited.

It's all here, I can't pretend not to see it, so I stood up and said to the elder brother, "What are you doing?"

The eldest brother said: "Master Tan, don't worry about it, I have to stab him to death today."

I said, "I want to stab you somewhere else, not here."

The eldest brother said, "Master Tan, get out of the way. I'll see where this kid is going."

I laughed and said, "Isn't it just a matter of salary, as for it?"

The eldest brother said: "This calf told me to come and pick it up today, but he said no when I came. Doesn't this spoil me?"

Ah Fa said behind me: "The club didn't open, it didn't open, Master Tan and the others didn't open either, so I don't have money to give you."

The eldest brother said: "I don't care if the club is opened or not, that has nothing to do with me. I will ask you for money today, and you can say whether to give it or not. If you give it, I will leave. If you don't give it, I don't want it. Stab you to death, let you know who I am."

To be honest, I really admire this elder brother, he is a man from Northeast China.

I looked at those who were standing on the side watching the excitement, and I shouted at them: "Why, watching the excitement is not a big deal, let's watch it—"

Those who watched the excitement listened to my yelling, looked at each other and slowly left.

Now it's me, Ah Fa, eldest brother and Wang Hua.

I said to my eldest brother: "Brother, calm down and put down the fork first."

The eldest brother said, "No, if he doesn't pay, I'll stab him to death."

I said, "Why, you still want to stab him to death and pay for his life."

The elder brother didn't speak.

I went over to take the fork from him, and he was holding it tight.

I said, "Give it to me first, let it go, Ah Fa won't be able to run away, and you can prick him with a fork later. After running for a long time, take a break."

The eldest brother let go, and I took the fork and handed it to Wang Hua, asking him to send it back.

I said to Ah Fa: "Ah Fa, there is no one here now, listen to me." Seeing that Ah Fa did not say anything, he continued: "Yes, the club does not pay wages, and I know you do not. But the eldest brother is You fired him, he doesn’t work here anymore, and it’s not worth it because he comes here every day for this salary. Besides, he doesn’t have much money, and he doesn’t look up. His salary is nothing to you. Look, big brother In his 30s, he also has a wife and children. That little money is very important to him. The children need money to go to school, wear clothes, and everything else. I understand you too. It just so happens that there aren’t many people around right now, so you gave it secretly, and the elder brother is also a sensible person, so he won’t talk about it. See if this works.”

After finishing talking, I looked at Ah Fa, who seemed to be having fun, and I said, "You two don't run after each other, let others see the joke."

Ah Fa looked at me, and I nodded to him.Tell him: "It's done, this matter is like this, you should do whatever you want, and you both have a clean heart."

Ah Fa said: "Master Tan, for your sake, I fired his salary today."

I said: "Where do I get face, you are giving yourself face, the chef circle in the provincial capital says it is big, but it is not small, and everyone knows that something will not happen for three days. At that time, it will be said that you, Ah Fa, pay attention to people, and you will be able to hang out in the chef circle in the future."

Unwillingly, Ah Fa took out 700 yuan from his pocket and handed it to me. I took it and gave it to my eldest brother, who took the money and said to me, "Thank you, Master Tan."

I said, "Thank you, this is your salary. Ah Fa paid it, not me."

The elder brother took a look at Ah Fa and said, "Then I'll leave. I'm still working over there, so I came out on leave."

The eldest brother left, and I said to Ah Fa: "Ah Fa, I can't make it. I have to give it to others sooner or later. As for it."

Ah Fa said, "I want to give it to him too, but his speech is too harsh, and he curses when he opens his mouth."

I said: "We people from the Northeast are like this. This is him chasing you with a fork. If I don't talk about this, I will just stab me with a knife and turn around and leave. In the future, you should avoid messing with people from the Northeast, and you still have to stay in the provincial capital." Do it, if you can hand in one more person, it’s not necessarily who can help who.”

Life is like this. I don’t know when and who I will meet, who will help me, and who will help us.

We are not big shots, even if we are big shots, we need people to praise us, and it is nothing if we are not praised.

We are just mortals living in this world.There are joys, sorrows, joys, tears, struggles, and sorrows. This is life.

I have never prayed to God to give me a surprise, or to give myself an enviable future. I just walk step by step like this. Maybe I am right, so I stick to it, and maybe I am wrong, so I correct it.Get up after falling down, slap the dirt on your body, and continue to move forward. If you really can’t walk one day, sit down and rest, and look at the scenery on the roadside is also a kind of enjoyment.

I love this beautiful world, and love this beautiful life even more, for one reason, to live.

To be alive is to be beautiful.

Lin Yan paid the wages and said to me: "Old Tan, I paid the wages. This time, Wang Hao and the others didn't have much money, so they just paid two months' rent. When it's due in May, we have to pay the rent in June." .”

I said, "If they don't want to rent it, let's find another place."

Lin Yan said: "That's fine, now our family has 600 yuan, and I'll give you half of it."

Said and handed me 300 yuan.Looking at the 300 yuan, which is half of the family property of Lin Yan and me, I feel a little sad.

I said, "No, I don't spend any money, just take it."

Lin Yan said, "Don't you still have to buy cigarettes?"

I said, "I smoke a pack of two yuan and five yuan. Sixty or seventy yuan a month is enough. I still have some money. I can save money with you, but I spend it in a few days." "

Lin Yan asked: "You haven't been paid yet?"

I said, "No, Master is coming back soon. Let's wait for him to come back and see what he thinks. I can't leave now."

Lin Yan said: "Then wait a minute, I think yours is too bad, and it might be sealed."

I said, "Let's talk about it later."

Lin Yan said: "We only have 600 yuan now, I have to save some money—"

The embarrassment of life began to approach a little bit.

I hope Master will come back soon and ask him what to do. I can't make any decisions when he's not here.
