The story of a cook

Chapter 155 Leaving the Club

One month is fast and fast, and it will arrive soon.

Master and Zhang Hao came back from Hangzhou.

Master told me about the situation at Hangzhou Continental Hotel. The one-month Northeast Cuisine Food Festival was very successful there, and the locals liked it very much.

I asked, "Master, what kind of food sells best there?"

The master said: "It's just that the old dishes sell well, such as pot-wrapped pork, stewed sauerkraut, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and our Northeast dumplings."

I asked, "You didn't bring pasta, did you?"

The master said: "The hotel invites noodles from Harbin, they make dumplings, we just cook."

I asked, "Are you busy all day?"

Master said: "Busy, why not be busy, orders are full every day, and we have to control them in the end."

Zhang Hao said: "Tan Zi, it's cheaper if you didn't go, the place is so tired, I can't even walk."

I said, "Then you should take a rest quickly."

Zhang Hao said: "What about rest, you stay at home for a month, you rest."

I said, "I'm not busy at home, and I don't have a few dishes a day."

The master asked: "Have you been paid?"

I said, "No."

Master asked, "Why haven't you been paid?"

I said, "I don't know, just say I have no money."

Zhang Hao said: "It's okay if it doesn't open, Master, let's count the subsidy this time, and there is no difference in money."

The master said: "You have been subsidized. What about Tan Zi, isn't Tan Zi free?"

Zhang Hao said: "Yes, Tan Zi is at home this month, and there is nothing, master, what should I do?"

Master said, "I'll ask Mr. Du what's going on tomorrow."

The next day, Master went to the office to find Mr. Du, and when he came back, he told me and Zhang Hao: "Let's withdraw, Mr. Du has no choice but to say that the account of the group has been blocked by the bank, and the financial department has some money, but they can't get it." Come out, you have to talk to the big boss's wife before you can come out."

Zhang Hao asked: "What about the big boss's wife?"

The master said: "Overseas, Mr. Du will not work anymore, and he will not come to work tomorrow."

Zhang Hao asked: "What about our salary?"

The master said: "What's the matter? I want it. I can't do it anymore, and I'm getting deeper and deeper. Let's quit tomorrow, and then I come to ask for wages. I can ask for as much as I can."

When I heard it, my heart was completely shaken, and I really couldn't get paid.

I asked Master: "Master, the account has been blocked by the bank. We have no money. We just want to get paid. Where can we go? Mr. Du has also left. Who should we go to?"

Master said: "If it doesn't work, go to the labor bureau, go to the labor bureau, talk to the labor bureau about our situation, and see what they do."

Zhang Hao said, "Can the Labor Bureau take care of this?"

Master said, "What does the labor bureau care about?"

Zhang Hao said: "Go to Tanzi, I won't tell you when I go."

In fact, it's not that Zhang Hao doesn't want to go, it's that he has already received subsidies from others in Hangzhou, and he feels that it is enough for him without salary, so he doesn't need to go to the labor bureau.It’s okay if he doesn’t go, but I can’t. I don’t have any subsidies.

I looked at Master and saw that Master was very angry, so I said, "I'll go there when the time comes."

The master said: "Zhang Hao, let's quit. You have nothing to do at home. Go with Tan Zi."

Zhang Hao was a little reluctant, but didn't say anything.

Now that I have decided not to work here, Wang Hua was found by me, so I have to make arrangements for him.

Wang Hua and I said, "Let's quit tomorrow, what are you going to do?"

Wang Hua asked, "Shall we quit tomorrow?"

I said, "Yes, quit."

Wang Hua smiled and said, "It's too fast, so fast."

Seeing him smile, I knew he was still a child at heart, and said: "It's still fast, what are you going to do if you don't get paid? What are you going to do?"

Wang Hua said, "I haven't made any plans yet. I'll go to my uncle's house for two days first, and then I'll talk about it."

I said, "That's fine. If you still want to learn how to be a cook, you can tell me. I'll send you to learn elsewhere."

Wang Hua said: "Okay, then I will talk to my uncle and see what he wants me to do."

I said, "That's fine."

After making arrangements for Wang Hua, there was nothing else to do. I chatted with the master about Hangzhou for a while, and then I got off work.

Back home, I told Lin Yan, "I'm laid off, and I don't have to go to work tomorrow."

Lin Yan said: "It's good to be laid off. If you don't go to work, you can rest at home."

I said: "It's not the right time to be laid off. If it happened to be Qingming a few days earlier, I could still go home and go to the grave."

Lin Yan said: "Isn't it the same when you go home and go to the grave now?"

I said, "It's not just the New Year or the festival. I went to the old man and he still has to kick me back."

Lin Yan smiled and asked, "How about your salary?"

I said, "If you want, what else can you do?"

Lin Yan said: "I don't think your wages are good, and I know what's going on with you."

I said, "If you don't want it, you have to. That's money."

Lin Yan said: "If you don't come out, forget it, let's find a job."

I said, "You have to find a job, but you also have to get a salary. You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of it."

That night, I didn't think about anything and slept soundly. When I woke up, it was past ten o'clock in the morning the next day, and Lin Yan had already gone to work.

I don't know what to do when I'm not working.I washed my face, I was hungry, I saw that there was some dried noodles at home, I ordered a bowl of dried noodles, and when I was about to finish eating, the pager rang, I saw that it was the number of Taishan Road, I thought it was not Ma and the others who finished the noodles at this time Go downstairs and call back.

It was Master who passed it on to me, and Master said: "You come to Taishan Road, it's at the original Rose Hotel, and we will meet there."

Putting down the phone, I didn't know what Master was looking for me, so I rode my bicycle to the Rose Hotel, and saw Master standing there chatting with the bicycle repairer.

I went over and called, "Master."

Seeing me coming, Master came to the side with me, and said, "Think about it, let's go to the club and take care of you. Whoever wants to get paid can't get paid, so let's do it."

I said, "Master, I don't blame you for this. When we go, don't we think about it. No one can say for sure about being laid off. No matter where you work, there will be times when you will be laid off."

The master still felt a little guilty and said, "If you hadn't been told to come down from the barbecue restaurant, it wouldn't be a problem. You can do well there."

I said: "I am willing to come down, and if I can't say it, I will worship you as my teacher, and I won't be your apprentice."

The master said, "I went to the labor bureau just now, and the labor bureau said that this time the group's affairs are quite serious, and we have to wait until the case is concluded before we can deal with our labor disputes. It will take more than a year, and we can't afford to wait."

I said, "It's okay, I can guess."

The master asked: "Then what are you planning?"

I said: "Looking for a job, I can't stay here, and I can't afford to stay here."

The master said: "I'll contact you to see which place is good, and if it suits you, I'll call you there."

I said, "Okay, Master, I know you don't want to contact those people, I'll look for it myself first, and then contact me if I can't find you."

Master said: "I contacted them, and they gave me face. They just don't want you to be with them. Those people are too gangsters, and you won't be popular if you go."

I said, "I don't want to be with them either, let's go and see what it's like."

Master looked at me and said, "When I go back to Hangzhou, Hangzhou has given me a subsidy for 20 days. Here is 500 yuan for you."

Master took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to me. I pushed it back and said, "Master, no, you deserve it. I don't want it. I have money."

The master said: "If you haven't been paid for two months, what money do you have, you can take it if you give it to you."

I said, "Master really doesn't need it, I still have money."

The master was a little angry and said, "Why are you like this, you child? You rent a house and you have to pay the rent. Now you have to eat when you don't go to work, and you have to spend money. You take it first, and when you have more money, buy me two more. There's a bottle of wine and everything."

I looked at Master and was very moved, so I stopped insisting and took the money.

Seeing me accepting the money, the master said, "If you need money in the future, just tell me. Your teacher and I don't have much to spend now, and we don't need any money."

I said, "Okay, thank you Master."

The master said: "You still say thank you to the master, you are so stupid."

I laughed.

I separated from my master and went back home to see that there was no housework that needed to be done. I cleaned up the house, wiped the floor, then went downstairs to buy a few dishes, came back to cook, and waited for Lin Yan to come back for dinner.

I have always felt that it is the happiest thing to cook meals at home and wait for my family to come back to eat.Just like now, my daughter-in-law goes to work, my son takes online classes at home, and I am responsible for three meals a day, plus doing housework. I feel the happiest thing.In the past, when I was in good health, I was always outside, and I seldom spent time with my family. I even sat down to eat with my wife and children for a few days in a year. Now I can finally eat together peacefully and warmly. , With the feeling of home, I feel happiness.

Every day, I cook dishes for their mothers in different ways, and I am also very happy to see them eating happily.

People don't expect too much or too much in this life. Many things seem to be yours, but they are not yours. Only the happiness that you really feel is yours.

When Lin Yan came back from get off work, she was very happy to see that the food was ready, and said, "Finally, I have ready-made food."

I said, "Okay, if it's good, I'll do it for you every day."

Lin Yan said: "No, the most important thing is to find a job to earn money."

I said, "Well, earning money is important, but you also have to eat. Look, you're satisfied."

Lin Yan said: "Satisfied, very satisfied."

I said, "Eat when you are satisfied."

During the meal, Lin Yan asked: "What are you doing at home today?"

I said, "I didn't do anything. Master told me to go there in the morning and went to Taishan Road."

Lin Yan asked, "Why does your master want you?"

I said, "Give me 500 yuan."

Lin Yan asked: "Why did you give you 500 yuan back, didn't you not get paid?"

I said: "Master sees that I have no money to spend. He and Zhang Hao went to Hangzhou for a month and gave them a subsidy there. Master gave me five hundred of his subsidy and asked me to spend it first."

Lin Yan said: "Your master is very kind to you."

I said, "Master, there is nothing wrong with my disciples."

Lin Yan said: "We can't owe others favors. When we have money, we can buy more delicious food for your master."

I said, "Okay, listen to you."

Lin Yan said: "I earned too little that month, and I wanted to change to a job that earned more money."

I said, "Don't change it. Your job is pretty good. You don't get tired from eight to five in the morning. You don't need to earn any money, just enough for you to spend."

Lin Yan said: "That's too little, I want to change."

I said: "I don't agree with you changing jobs, let's do this first."

Lin Yan said: "If there is someone who makes a lot of money, I won't do it."

I said, "You'd better keep doing it and don't keep changing jobs. Your job is pretty good. If you learn more, your salary will be quite high in the future."

I know what Lin Yan means. Seeing that I don't have a job now, I want to earn more money by myself.

Lin Yan and I said: "My job is easy to find. You don't have to worry about it. Now the main thing is to ask Wang Hao if they still rent this house. It's May and they have to pay the rent soon. If they don't After renting, I will go out and find a house first, we have to settle the place to live first, and then I will look for a job."

Lin Yan said: "It is estimated that the two of them will stop renting, and they talked about it in the past two days."

I said, "You can ask again when you have time to make sure."
