The story of a cook

Chapter 423 Slowly Improve
Yaju's marriage is unfortunate.

But her life now is peaceful.

A kind-hearted woman has experienced an unfortunate marriage. From the initial struggle to let it be, it is a submission to fate and an acknowledgment of herself.What she wants now is to live with her son. That man has nothing to do with her. It is her responsibility and hope to raise her son.She knew that this was not an acceptance of fate, but a choice.

At the beginning, I didn't expect my man to be like this. At that time, I had infinite longing for marriage. I felt that if I married a prince charming, my future life would be very happy.

No one expected this to happen.

So be it, as long as you have your son by your side, your son is everything to you.

There are so many things in the world that are perfect, and there are more or less shortcomings.

Regrets are beautiful memories.

Entering summer is the busiest time for restaurants.Huofenghuang is the first restaurant in Fuxin that operates food stalls, and the dishes are beautifully displayed, which customers like very much.In addition, the smoked flavor is well made, which tastes the same as that of the smoked flavor tavern. The dumplings served later were also recognized by the guests, saying that Huofenghuang's dumplings are the best in Fuxin.

By June, the daily turnover reached 2 yuan.

I set up the food stalls by myself, I also helped to make the smoked flavor, and I was also in charge of the dumplings.At that time, my boss regarded me very highly, and my relationship with him was very good.

We are not the head chef, nor are we old men like Chen Gang who fight with the boss. We need to maintain a balanced relationship.To stick to my position, I came here to earn money by cooking, not to be some kind of chef. I also want to send a signal to Chen Gang, not to run on him, nor to replace him. One day, I will leave Fuxin. Do your own thing.

The head chef and Chen Gang are alright. They can see my thoughts and know that I have no desire to compete for fame and fortune. The relationship between us is relatively harmonious.

If you don't get along well with the head chef and the big boss in the kitchen, even if the boss appreciates it, it's useless, and you will be punished.I have experienced all of these, and I understand the relationship during the period, so it is not troublesome to deal with it.

Under my suggestion, the entire menu structure of the restaurant has been repositioned and adjusted.

Position the grade of the restaurant at the mid-range and above, and not take the high-end route.Huofenghuang's main focus is "Fuxin's authentic home-cooked dishes, and mother's dumplings are delicious." After the restaurant's characteristics are determined, the development direction of the dishes is clarified. Sexy food.

Once the direction is set, the work can be done easily, and the hotel also knows which direction to develop.

I came to Fuxin in October last year, and it has been more than nine months now.Although I am not the head chef, the restaurant has gone from selling [-] a month when I first came to [-] now, and I have made a lot of efforts.When I came here, the restaurant served all kinds of dishes, and I didn't show my own characteristics. Now I have my own characteristics, and I have my own credit for it.

The most successful thing I have come to Fuxin is planning and designing the Smoked Flavor Bistro, which can be said to be an innovation of a small restaurant catering model, which is a great improvement for my ability.This improvement is not reflected in the level of cooking, but in the understanding and cognition of catering, and has its own catering concept.

After having a catering concept, I found that the level of cooking has also improved. It seems that a door has been opened in my head, and my understanding of dishes has been greatly improved. I seem to know how to cook dishes.

For the time being, plan this kind of improvement to the aspect of structure. When a person's structure improves, his understanding of people, objects, and what he does will naturally rise to another level. It seems that his vision has been opened and he can handle things comprehensively .

The most important manifestation is that the mentality has changed and become peaceful.

After the change of mentality, I feel that things are going smoothly, and I am used to seeing what I was not used to, or I understand it.A smile began to hang on his face, no longer a serious expression.In Bao Peng's words, Master, you are not scary anymore.

As if I used to be pretty scary, I've always been a nice guy.

A good man who is put off by his looks.

Bao Peng is a quick learner, and now he is a ready-made chopping board. He can serve dishes quickly and stand at attention when he works. I like it very much.If I like it, I can teach him more things. Sometimes he prepares the dishes, but I haven’t finished cooking them yet, so I will call him over and explain to him while cooking.

In addition to taking Bao Peng, he also taught Ye Yurong how to make dumpling stuffing.She came into the kitchen through me, if I don't urge people to make more than that now.But being a lady is not a long-term solution after all. As you grow older and look old, you will not be able to be a few years, and you are in danger of being arrested. It is better to learn a craft while you are young.In addition, she is a fellow villager, so I take extra care of her.

Li Yanhua's cooking skills with Xiao Gao are not as good as Zhao Gang's. It's been half a year, and he cooks next to me. By the way, he took him a lot, and now he has caught up with Zhao Gang.

Cooking requires savvy. He doesn't have the savvy of Zhao Gang, so he can only stop here. He can honestly be a cook and support his family.He is an optimist, he doesn't have high demands on himself, he goes to and from work cheerfully every day, and he gets along well with everyone.

His character is a bit like Zheng Jiaqi.

After Zheng Jiaqi came to the tavern, her work was very good. She was originally from the front desk and worked in Huofenghuang cold dishes for more than three months.

I seldom go to the tavern during this time, and the restaurant is also busy. I am tired after a day of cooking, so I don’t want to move.In addition, the tavern is now on the right track, the production standards have been finalized, the quality is guaranteed, and Zheng Jiaqi is managing there, so there is nothing wrong with it, so there is no need to go there all the time.

Xie Xiufen sold the storefront of the Mining Bureau, signed a five-year contract with the landlord, and found the group who installed the tavern to renovate it.Sister Jiang said that the door of the tavern was also changed directly. The three characters "Sisters" have been registered. Xie Xiufen asked her classmates to redesign the door. The designed door is very down-to-earth, and people can clearly know that the store is called "Sisters". , and at the same time a restaurant chain, this is the first head office.

Zheng Jiaqi came over in the last two days and told me that the boss took her friend to the tavern for dinner twice. Every time he went, he told her that he had time to drink tea with her.I asked her if she really didn't like the boss?She said that she really didn't catch a cold, and the boss was not her type of person.

Getting a partner is all about fate, and the two of them can't help others if they don't call.

Zhang Li called me and told me about her date, and I said it was fine, it should have been dated a long time ago.He briefly told me about Liu Zhigang's situation, and I told her to get along well with him and try to get married as soon as possible.

"You miss me that much?" She asked a little unhappy.

"To be honest, I really hope that you will find someone who treats you well and will protect you for the rest of your life." I said seriously.

She was silent for a while, and then said to me: "We are still tight friends."

I said, "It's guaranteed, we both know about it."

"Take care of yourself there, and call me Sister Zhang later." She said.

"Okay, Miss Zhang." I called her with a smile.

"It sounds awkward, so don't bark," she said.

"Just get used to it, you are not used to it." I said.

She laughed, and then told me that Li Shuang and Master Tong were going to get married at the end of the year. I said it was a good thing, and I would go to the wedding at that time.She said that if there were no accidents, she would also get married on May [-]st, and she would have to attend her wedding at that time. I said it was necessary.

Unexpectedly, Li Shuang was going to get married so soon.

Li Shuang, Zhang Li, and Zheng Jiaqi should all be married. They belong to older leftover women, or divorced single women.

In July, Xiao Gao said that Sister Zhao and Li Yanhua would come to Fuxin to play for a day. This is good news. I haven’t seen Sister Zhao for a long time, and I really miss it.It’s okay if I don’t work, but I don’t have time to work, and I’m still out of town. I haven’t seen each other, so I can only contact by phone.Not to mention Sister Zhao, even Lin Yan and her son haven't seen each other for half a year. She misses her son very much, and misses her daughter-in-law even more.

Tell Lin Yan to bring the child to Fuxin for two days, and I will also see the child.Lin Yan said she couldn't come, she was bringing her two children.And now I am taking care of the children at my mother-in-law's house, and helping my mother-in-law to feed the pigs at home by the way.It was time to shovel the ground, and my mother-in-law had to shovel the ground every day, and she couldn't do it alone.

Lin Yan said that her son can clearly call her mother now, and he can walk while leaning on the wall. He can't walk too far, and he will fall down after taking two steps, like a tumbler.

"Your son may eat five dumplings in one meal." Lin Yan said.

"It's not good to be able to eat. I can grow up in the future." I said.

"My son promises to grow up, and his grandma said he can grow up too." Lin Yan said.

"Is our son still breastfeeding?" I asked.

"I don't feed him during the day, so I tell him to eat, and I feed him when I wake up at night." Lin Yan continued: "His little sister is still breastfeeding, and she cries when she doesn't feed, and screams there."

"His little sister is younger than him," I said.

"Xiaosha, he's only one month younger than our son, and he's one year old now. This kid doesn't know what's going on, he just likes to cry, and cries when he's upset. He also started talking nonsense, calling me mom, see Let our son call his mother as well." Lin Yan said.

I said, "Mom is the first name a child calls."

"Our son has grown up, and he will let his little sister do everything." Lin Yan said, "Sometimes when his little sister sucks, he gets angry and wants to eat it. I tell him that's my sister and you are my brother." , the elder brother has to give way to the younger sister, our son will not follow suit, and go and play by himself."

I said, "Our son is sensible."

Lin Yan said: "Yes, my son is sensible. Waiting for his younger sister will not be able to do it. If the son is breastfeeding, she will come up and grab him. She scratches him with her hands and scratches his face. It hurts."

I said, "Be careful, don't tell her to scratch her son."

"Sometimes I can't watch it." Lin Yan said: "It's okay during the day, the two of them can play by themselves, don't worry about it, but at night it won't work, they all come to me. As soon as I lie down on the kang, they immediately One on each side, after coaxing this one to sleep, coaxing that one, sometimes before going to sleep, I will make trouble for you there."

I said, "His younger sister doesn't always need to breastfeed now, can't they let them take it by themselves?"

"Zhihao's daughter-in-law said that she came back during the Gregorian calendar year, and then she didn't leave to take care of the children at home." Lin Yan said: "You don't know Lao Tan, Zhihao's wife came back on May Day two days ago, and she also misses children. When you get home, you What do you say? Her children don’t follow her, they cry as soon as they are hugged, and come towards me with all their strength, and I have to hug them if I can’t help it. Zhihao’s daughter-in-law burst into tears.”

"The child hasn't been with her mother for a few days since she was born, so she doesn't know her mother anymore." I said.

"Yes, I don't know each other anymore, so I call me mom now." Lin Yan said, "I see that Zhihao's wife is also feeling uncomfortable, saying that she will come back early this year to take care of the child, and take care of her at home for a few months, and then bring it herself, and take BJ there .”

"Then you are liberated, and you will take care of your son exclusively in the future." I said.

"Well, it will take another four months. After four months, I will be completely liberated." Lin Yan said happily.

Lin Yan would have been much happier if she hadn't brought Zhihao's child with her. Taking care of two children was a lot like taking care of one child.

Lin Yan, being an older sister, is quite interesting. She talked to her younger brother about her daughter-in-law, and volunteered to help take care of the children for more than a year, which is enough.I feel sorry for Lin Yan, but I can't tell her not to ask her to take care of the children of Zhihao's family. As a brother-in-law, I am not so narrow-minded.

I send my mother [-] salary every month, I keep [-], and the rest is sent to Lin Yan. She and her son can't spend it.Last month, it was said that Zhiye needed money to go to college, and she gave him a thousand.I said you can take it if you have it, but I guarantee it will be enough for my son.Tell her to save as much as you can, we still have to live.

Now I earn money by myself. I didn’t have much money before. I take advantage of the high salary to save some money in case I am laid off and have no money to spend. I can’t let my son go hungry.

Working in Fuxin is not too challenging, and there is nothing attractive except for the high salary.Boss Binhai called me twice and told me to work with him.The catering industry in Binhai is better than that of the provincial capital. Chefs like to work in places with developed catering industry. It is challenging, they can learn things, and they can improve their cooking skills.The last time I went back to Binhai, I planned to learn about Binhai seafood, but I didn’t expect to have frozen shoulder, so I came back when I was about to learn.Now Binhai Seafood is developing very well and is well-known throughout the country. If you want to make more money as a chef, you must learn Binhai Seafood. It belongs to the category of Northeast cuisine.

Now a Binhai seafood chef earns at least 4000 yuan a month, and the highest is more than 1000 yuan.I have always wanted to go to Binhai to learn seafood, but I thought that the wages here are [-] yuan higher than in Binhai, and what I need most now is money, so I persisted and did not go to Binhai.
