Hong Yanwu’s persistent pursuit completely blocked Master Pang’s path.
No choice, forced by love and feelings, Master Pang could only bite the bullet and step into the door of "Zhang Dashao" personally and entrust Hong Yanwu with him.
Unexpectedly, it was just the opposite. This "Zhang Dashao" was as guarded about his craft as an old cat watching a mouse.
I didn’t show any respect to Master Pang, so he refused immediately.
"What are you doing, learning from me? Zengtai, who said this? You shouldn't say this, right?"
"What? A descendant of the Hong family of Yanmeilou? Oh, that is the young master's destiny. How can he be Qinxing? I said you should not let him come before it is too late. They are so valuable that I can't afford it. This It should be the material used to make abacus and sell meal tickets. Can you still hold a big spoon?"
"Ah? The kid is good? The one who can make fried liver? Ah, I didn't expect this. But he is much better, why should he be my apprentice? Besides, it takes time to see people's hearts, you It’s too early to say this. Look, just leave it alone.”
"What? He is willing to endure hardship and let me beat him? That is even worse. Now is the new society, everyone is equal, and beating is illegal. Besides, what is he doing but eating? Why should he suffer this crime? He is so Once you say it, just listen.”
"Come on, don't talk nonsense. I just do some hard work here. If a dog can understand what people say, it can do it. What conditions can he offer to me? Tell him, My old man is not lucky enough to be a master, so he should not have any ideas about me."
Yes, Daqing Hong Yanwu wanted to be beaten by others, but he was not lucky enough yet.
When these words came back, not only Master Pang was embarrassed, but Hong Yanwu himself was also disappointed.
But he thought again, no, he had to persist.
Because asking for help is just a waste of time. As the saying goes, a drop of water wears away a stone. If you are not happy at first, you may be happy later.
The key is that such a master can't be found even with a lantern, and considering his age, he won't be able to work for a few more years.
If you really miss it, you may never find such a craft again.
Don’t forget, the key to catering is to have a good cook.
Don’t think that as long as you have money, you can hire a good chef.
Because it is not about money at all. If the chef is really good at his craftsmanship, the boss will be just an errand boy.
On the other hand, if the chef is not good at his skills, the boss will quickly change from a general to a slave.
So the most important thing is that the boss must know his own business.
Only in this way can we suppress the kitchen and keep the sign from falling.
Otherwise, no matter how big you open your store, it will still be "filling holes", and you are just trying to destroy the ancestral brand.
Yes, for the Hong family’s old shop and for my father’s long-cherished wish, I have to keep grinding!
In this way, Hong Yanwu went to the small canteen to report with the determination not to give up until he achieved his goal.
It doesn't matter if he leaves, of course Chen Liquan has to follow.
He would never be separated from Hong Yanwu, and he would not even listen to Hong Yanwu's advice to him not to suffer along with him.
In this way, the two main members of the white crime team in the big cafeteria are gone, and they have all been replaced by the "forces" of rubbing dirt and pouring ashes in the small cafeteria. Can Master Gou be happy?
Over at the small canteen, "Zhang Dashao" looked at the two young brothers making love. It was obvious that the visitor was not a good person, and his face turned dark.
So there are a lot of complaints from both sides.
But who did Master Pang offend? Just like that, Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror and was no longer a human being.
The only person who is happy is the boy who was pushed by Chen Liquan.
He has only been due for three months, and he is about to be "released after serving his sentence" early. How can that not be beautiful?
In the last week, I took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to familiarize themselves with the process. He was humming songs every day, couldn't help smiling, and felt so happy.
Of course, through his performance, you can imagine what it's like to be here.
To put it bluntly, the word "bitter" is not false.
No matter how small the canteen is, it is still a kitchen. All the chores are shouldered by two people. How can it be done easily?
Like a daily routine, it is also indispensable.
You have to start by sweeping the yard, sharpening knives, cutting ice, transporting coal, and burning the stove.
Then there are peeling onions, peeling garlic, washing vegetables, mincing ginger, killing chickens and ducks, washing rice, and making soup.
Finally, when lunch is over, it’s time to wash pots, dishes, use spoons, and take out the trash.
Jobs like these may seem simple, but if you don’t pay attention, you won’t be able to complete them or do them well.
How big the workload is, and how demanding Zhang Dashao's requirements are. Let's talk about a few things in detail, so that we can truly understand.
For the most physically demanding job, "getting on the ice" is the first one.
There were no refrigerators at that time, so everyone’s canteen relied entirely on natural ice to be stored in the winter for use in the summer.
Polar Bear has an advantage in this regard, as it produces artificial ice itself.
So the big cafeteria has a house with tiled floors, floor drains, and no windows.
As soon as artificial ice is placed on the iron shelf, it becomes an "earth cold storage".
The ingredients were placed in basins and placed on ice, and the ice water slipped out along the floor drain.
Change as you go, very convenient.
But the small canteen does not have this condition, and the ingredients have to be individually prepared.
Then you have to rely on the kitchen workers to use ice tongs to carry a piece of ice that is 40 centimeters thick, one square meter in size, and weighs 400 kilograms into the kitchen, and then chop it into six to eight pieces.
After that, it is flattened with a knife, sprinkled with salt, and put into a one-meter-two wooden barrel to preserve the ingredients.
And Zhang Dashao has additional requirements for this job.
It is said that raw meat cannot be placed directly in the barrel against the ice. The meat must be placed in a small jar and then placed in the barrel.
In addition, the jars cannot be placed next to each other. They must be packed with crushed ice and covered with ice to pass the test.
Look, with just a few more words, the workload has almost doubled.
In addition to "putting on the ice", the kitchen workers also have to smash coal.
Every day, the coal to be burned must be smashed into "hand-sized pieces", about the size of walnuts.
The coal is not flammable when it is large, and it takes an hour to make a fire.
It won’t work if it’s too small and the stove doesn’t have strong firepower.
After burning, the furnace pit must be dug out.
The things you take out cannot be poured out first, you must sift out the cinders.
This is also the request of "Zhang Dashao".
This is not to save coal, but because when the cinders are burned again, there is no smoke or smell of coal, which is perfect for making pancakes.
But these are not troubles. The most troublesome thing is to clean up those things on the stove according to Zhang Dashao's request.
In the past, coal-burning stoves were very particular, with one main burner and two secondary burners.
The main burner is for cooking, the secondary burner is for "simmering vegetables" and the other is for holding a soup pot.
This is what the so-called cook "three spoons for cooking" means.
Because the mouth of the spoon in serious craftsmanship mostly points to the soup stock, so those who do not bring a soup pot must be wild cooks.
It can be imagined that the two masters, "Zhang Dashao" and Hua Ying, each have a stove.
And they don’t let others in when they’re cooking, so they can’t have a kitchen worker standing by and using them whenever they want.
How many pots and pans do you need to cook that meal?
The most important thing is the cleanliness of the stove. "Zhang Dashao" is like a germophobe and cannot tolerate any negligence.
You have to touch it every day, it must be oily and dusty, and you will definitely be blown away.
But at that time, daily chemicals had not yet been developed. Boiled water and alkaline noodles were used to clean the pots, so the difficulty can be imagined.
But this is not over yet. Even the order in which the seasonings are placed is fixed, and there must be no mistake.
"Salt, sugar, flavor, cooking wine, soy sauce and vinegar" must be placed in the order of color "from light to dark", from thin to dry.
He said the reason is to prevent the light-colored salt and sugar from being contaminated by dark-colored seasonings.
So, by analogy, all these trivial requests are gathered together. Is it something that ordinary people can handle?
That requires not only quickness and speed, but also meticulousness and quality assurance.
So when they first started working, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were bound to be in a hurry and confused.
As a result, they just listened to "Angry".
It must be said that Zhang Dashao's ability to curse is really amazing.
When he calls you dirty words, that's when he has a good temper.
If you have a bad temper, you will no longer use curse words. Instead, you will hurt others.
The so-called harming people is to use the method of concealing the truth with the false, setting off the side, insinuating, and just one word at the important point, just like killing a person with a knife at the throat.
The more he scolds you, the more he wants to forgive you.
Only this way of cursing can show that what he is scolding is true and conclusive, making you feel ashamed beyond words.
For example, if you are not satisfied with your work, he can say this to you.
"How can human hands do such a job? Look, not only are you careless, you have no brains at all. That's right, don't explain it. I know you are like many people, It’s not that you don’t do it well, it’s just that you’re used to it, right? Since you were young, you didn’t know what it means to be clean, but others may not have the same preferences as you.”
In addition, when he scolds people, he also likes to tell the truth and set up ambushes for you.
For example, when you make a mistake repeatedly, he will deliberately ask you, "Hey, there is a saying, what is the mud, how did it get on the wall?"
For example, if he thinks you are slow or stupid, he will ask you deliberately. "Hey, do you know there is an idiom? It describes a person who is stupid and can never be taught."
This will not only embarrass you, but also strengthen his power to scold you.
If you don't pay attention and don't hold your tongue, you really want to say words like "mud can't hold up the wall" or "stupefied" or "stupid".
Then if you are finished, he will catch you even more.
At that time, I must have said a long "Oh!" and then said it to you very politely.
"Well, young people are good, educated and know a lot. This is teaching by words and deeds. Thank you, looking at you, I really understand this word."
That's so sharp that it hurts your skin.
Is it any wonder that others can't stand his irritation?
Meeting such a man will definitely cast a shadow for a lifetime.
To be honest, this pain lies not only in the torture inflicted by "Zhang Dashao", but also in the need to forcibly suppress oneself and the desire to strangle this old guy at all times.
