Go to a windy place and wait for the wind to come

Chapter 86 The Painter from France

Chapter 86 The Painter from France
In the quiet kitchen, apart from Zhang Wentao making noises from time to time, only Xie Liang who was standing aside held his breath.

Normally when Zhang Wentao was making things, he was rarely asked to watch from the sidelines, but today he was asked to come over.

Xie Liang was trembling, thinking that he was a seagull migrating from afar to Erhai Lake every October and November, ready to face a violent storm at any time.

"Go, get some coffee powder from the front."

Zhang Wentao made a sudden noise, Xie Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately replied:

"Ah, ok, I'll go right away."

After walking out of the kitchen quickly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled bitterly at the waiter who carefully arranged the restaurant in front of him.

"Master Zhang's face is still calm?"

A good-looking waiter asked softly.

"En." Xie Dian nodded, indicating that he was right.

"Because of what? Do you know?" The waiter asked curiously. After all, if you are scolded to death today, you must at least know the reason, so you can't be an unjust dead ghost.

"If I can know, then I'm not an apprentice, let's wait until Master Shi comes."

Xie Liang spread his hands helplessly. The only one who can save everyone now is Master Shi who will come before noon, but his hard life is coming to an end, and in half an hour, the other two chefs will come to work up.

At that time, someone will share the firepower, so you don't have to carry it yourself.

"Then what are you doing?" the waiter asked.

"Ah, by the way, give me some coffee powder quickly. I want freshly ground, finer ones, and I'm making tiramisu."

When Xie Liang was asked this question, he remembered why he came here. He didn't want to be scolded when he went back to get the coffee powder for too long.

...

Time passed slowly, and as the lunch time approached, the employees of the restaurant arrived one after another.

As soon as Shi Tiandong entered the restaurant, he felt the oppressive atmosphere, and he knew why he came to the back kitchen without asking.

Looking at Zhang Wentao who was preparing meals with two chefs, he asked proactively, "Why, did you encounter any unpleasant things this morning?"

"It's nothing. By the way, remind me when I leave in the afternoon and go to the laundry to get clothes." Zhang Wentao said.

"Well, why don't I let someone else pick it up for you later, so as to save you a trip."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Wentao nodded.

Xie Liang stood aside, heard the conversation between the two, and said timidly: "Boss, why don't I go and get it for you, I am familiar with the town, and the trip back and forth is very fast."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wentao threw the spoon in his hand out with a "snap", his face froze instantly, and he asked angrily:

"Are you an errand worker? Do you have nothing to do all day long or something? Did you learn what I taught you in the morning? Do you need to flatter me here? If you don't want to wear this layer of skin, get out!"

Looking at Xie Liang who was stunned, Zhang Wentao shouted again: "Go and knead 20 pizza dough for me, if you can't do it well, you don't have to come tomorrow!"

Outside the kitchen, Sun Xiaowei, who was leading the waiter to check whether the tableware was placed properly, and several waiters shuddered when they heard the movement coming from inside...

They looked at each other: Sure enough, Xie Liang still didn't escape...

"Okay, hurry up and get to work! You all pay attention today, don't come to my place and cry, do you hear me?" Sun Xiaowei scanned around and warned.

Everyone nodded quickly, and the movements of their hands became much softer.

I have already started to practice the action of waiting to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

After being scolded, Xie Liang lowered his head and walked to the oven room where bread was specially made. The moment he entered the door, tears gushed out. He was really fed up with such grievances.

Being scolded for no reason, I do the simplest chores in the kitchen every day, and I can only help put the dishes away when I get busy.

The salary is not high, and the pressure is still high.

How can you persist in such a day?

"What's the matter with you?" Shi Tiandong put on his apron, and his tone was a little casual. When he first started working, he experienced countless times of scolding and felt that it was nothing at all.

What's more, a chef and a sous chef are chatting in the restaurant, and you, an apprentice, come to join in the fun, isn't that making yourself unhappy.

"Tell him to get some coffee powder in the morning, and chat with the little girl in front of him, not knowing what he is doing."

Zhang Wentao said angrily, without stopping the movement of his hands, he took his notebook from the shelf, flipped through a few pages and said to Xiao Li who was cutting vegetables behind him: "You, come here, give this to Xie Liang .Tell him I'll check after lunch, and if there's a piece of dough that's not the right weight, it's a disqualification."

After finishing speaking, he handed the notebook he had rummaged through to the other party, and said, "Tell him, if this notebook gets dirty by me, get out."

"Yeah, good chef, I understand." Xiao Li heard Zhang Wentao calling himself, and heard the words "get out" if the book is dirty, and quickly looked at his hands.

Afraid that it wasn't clean enough, he wiped it on his hand cloth again.

Only then did he take it with both hands, and then walked quickly to the room dedicated to baking bread and making desserts.

"Why, are you going to start teaching him something?" Shi Tiandong's implication was very clear, it was the meaning in the words.

"No, it's just that everyone is busy, and he doesn't know what to do when he is idle, so he gets angry when he sees it."

Zhang Wentao shook his head.

"You." Shi Tiandong sighed, then smiled and went to work on his own affairs.

Anyway, if you have anything you want to say, it’s not too late to talk about it during the meal preparation in the afternoon. The most important thing now is to deal with the customers at noon.

……

"So, you keep Teacher Huai Lan's work because you want to hold an exhibition for her?"

Under the noon sun, Grandma Xie, Huang Xinxin, Xie Zhiyao, and Xu Hongdou were eating together. When Xu Hongdou, who originally refused to eat together, went back to the small courtyard with the two of them, Ah, who was cooking in the kitchen, Grandma saw her passing by and stopped her.

Although she had something on her mind, seeing Grandma busy in the kitchen, the soft-hearted Xu Hongdou didn't want to let down the old man's wishes.

Walking into Xie Zhiyao's house, she came to the kitchen. After helping grandma for a while, she heard Xie Zhiyao chat with Huang Xinxin, and then put the prepared meals on the table.

As soon as she moved her chopsticks, she opened her mouth and asked, thinking of what Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin had just talked about about Madam Guanlan.

"Well, there are many decades-old craftsmen like Mr. Huai Lan in our village, Hongdou. And their works are very spiritual, and they are all art. Therefore, the village committee and Mr. Xie have been doing their best to promote it. , I hope more young people can see their works." Huang Xinxin said.

"Yes, as local artists, in fact, there is no problem with the works they can show. It's just that the funds for promotion are limited, so the matter of Shaohua Bookstore this time is very important to us." Xie Zhiyao ate A mouthful of rice, added.

"Yes." Xu Hongdou nodded, she could understand this.

After all, there are many veteran craftsmen, and when publicity funds are limited, open source is very important.

If Shaohua Bookstore can really establish a family in Yunmiao Village, with the increase of tourists...

Xu Hongdou still knows the truth of "the warehouse knows the etiquette from the facts".

"Then what are Teacher Huailan's children doing? Are they living in another city, or are they also doing embroidery?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously.

During the whole morning, it seemed that he didn't see Teacher Wylan's child.

"She's not married yet." Xie Zhiyao shook his head helplessly.

"Ah, why?"

Hearing the answer given by Xie Zhiyao, Xu Hongdou was a little surprised, and Auntie Xie smiled wryly beside her and said, "Hongdou, this is all in the past. At that time, Huai Lan was just 18 years old, and Xie Zhiyao Yao's grandma is about the same age."

"I went to the city once and met a painter from France."

……

 Ask for a ticket

  The foreshadowing was buried in Chapter 1. After Zhang Wentao returned to China, his teacher told him: "Go to a windy place and feel the time."

  Where is the windy place?Anyone guessed it before?
