Chapter 985 There is a support!
In the evening, Han Xiangning drove a small Qingqi back to the Meteorological Bureau's family courtyard.
As soon as I arrived at the carport downstairs, I smelled a burst of spicy and fresh aroma, which whetted my appetite.
What made her even more unbelievable was that several retired old comrades from the Meteorological Bureau were all gathered downstairs, discussing while looking up from time to time upstairs.
"Ningning is back, Ningning, is there any happy event in your family today?"
"No happy event."
"Then why did your family invite the chef to come back to cook the dishes? The chef bought a lot of dishes and worked all afternoon. The craftsmanship must be good, and the smell is delicious."
When there is a happy event in a rural family, the chef is usually invited to the house to help with the banquet.
The situation in urban areas is different from that in rural areas. In the past, the conditions were not good, and it was impossible to go to a big restaurant. Usually, I would borrow the canteen of the unit and ask the chef of the unit to cook in the canteen.
In the past few years, the economy has developed rapidly, and the scale of the city has continued to grow. The former farmers have become citizens due to land acquisition and demolition, and many of the previous habits have been retained.
For example, in the community next to the Meteorological Bureau, most of the residents are farmers who have moved upstairs due to land acquisition and demolition. When their families have troubles, they will set up sheds downstairs in the community and hire chefs to cook.
Some retired old comrades from the Meteorological Bureau often go to watch the fun when they have nothing to do. Seeing that they make such arrangements, the food they cook tastes better than the cafeteria, and it is cheaper than cooking in the cafeteria, so they follow suit, otherwise there will be no such thing ask.
Han Xiangning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "It's my cousin who buys vegetables and cooks. My cousin and his girlfriend came from Xichuan, and they arrived in the morning."
"Your cousin can cook?"
"My mother can cook, and everyone in Xichuan can cook. But my cousin cooks better than my mother. He is really a chef and has worked in a big restaurant!"
"I said why is it so fragrant, it smells delicious, it makes my mouth water."
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wu, come up together and try my cousin's craftsmanship."
"It's nothing, your relatives are here, what are we going to do?"
After joking with the elders from the Meteorological Bureau, Han Xiangning put on his bag and ran upstairs.
Opening the door and walking into the living room, I suddenly found that the little cousin and the little girlfriend of the little cousin are really hosting a banquet!
There are four cold dishes on the dining table, including chicken, meat, and vegetarian dishes. The little cousin is still busy in the kitchen, and the little cousin's girlfriend is setting the dishes.
Turning around, I saw that the house was neatly tidied and clean. I could see that the coffee table, TV and even the phone had been wiped.
I am busy with work, and my juniors are also busy.
Mom and Dad are not at home. The house was a bit sloppy before, but now it looks like I went to the wrong place.
Han Xiangning was embarrassed, Zhang Hongmei smiled happily and said, "Sister, it's just in time for you to come back. I called my brother-in-law and he said he will be back soon."
"Do so many delicious things?"
"A few home-cooked dishes."
"What kind of chicken is this?"
"This is slobbering chicken, this is garlic and white meat, this is squashed cucumber, and this is shredded red oil ear." Zhang Hongmei giggled, and accompanied the deputy mayor's cousin to the kitchen door, watching the newly prepared dishes hiding in the kitchen The boyfriend who smoked, introduced every detail: "The braised pork is cooked and stewed in the pot. There is also a fish with pickled cabbage. I will make it when my brother-in-law comes back."
The little cousin and the little girlfriend of the little cousin came to join me. How can I make one of them become a cook who cooks for me, and the other a nanny who cleans up the house!
Han Xiangning glanced at her cousin who was giggling, opened the lid of the pot, picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, found that it was not very hot, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It's delicious! Aidong, who did you learn this skill from?"
"I learned it in a restaurant."
"Didn't you learn from the master?"
"I also learned from the master. I have worked in many restaurants and met many masters, but I have never really worshiped a master."
"You learned it just by watching it?"
"Watching the master cook on the stove every day, I won't be able to do it."
"Ai Dong, you are so smart! The chef in the canteen of our Maritime Safety Administration graduated from a secondary school. Is the chef certificate fake?"
"A chef who graduated from school?"
"Ah."
Before she could open her mouth to Aidong, Zhang Hongmei giggled and said, "We have seen a lot of chefs who graduated from school. How can they cook? They can't cook when they go to restaurants, they can only serve dishes and cook Dutch. When they meet clumsy ones, You are not qualified to prepare meals or make loads, you can only work as a handyman!"
After Han Xiangning finished eating the meat in his mouth, he asked curiously, "I know the side dishes, what do you do with lotus?"
"It's almost like doing odd jobs."
"Ai Dong, what about you, have you ever played lottery?"
"No." Xiang Aidong quickly turned on the faucet to put out the cigarette, and said with a smile: "I used to work in small restaurants, and small restaurants didn't need someone to do the lotus. When I first started doing handyman for others, I just picked vegetables and washed dishes. , learning side dishes while doing it.”
Han Xiangning asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, the side dish master left because the wages were low, so the boss asked me to serve dishes. The restaurant was small, and I not only wanted side dishes, but also cold dishes. Later, the stir-fry chef resigned to open a shop, and the boss asked me to cook on the stove. See The dishes I cooked were not bad, so I didn’t hire a chef, I only hired a side dish cook to help me.”
"Did the boss give you a raise?"
"It's increased. When I was a handyman, it was only [-] a month. When I was a side dish, it was [-]. The cooking price rose to [-]."
"Is the salary higher than that of the previous chefs?"
"No, the boss said that I'm not a chef. I thought I learned my skills from other people. If the boss doesn't let me cook, I will always be a side dish, so I didn't say anything."
Growing from a handyman picking vegetables and washing dishes to a chef requires not only hard work, hard work, but also opportunities.
Han Xiangning came to his senses, thought about it and asked with a smile: "What about later?"
Recalling his experiences over the years, Xiang Aidong said with a bit of embarrassment: "The business of that store was getting better and better. The boss wanted to make it bigger, so he believed a friend's advice and went to Chendu to open a big hotel. But Chendu is different from the county town, with so many restaurants. What we cooked in the county town before was home-cooked food, with no special features and no regular customers.
The rent and staff salaries are so high, and the decoration cost a lot of money. Our food prices are not very affordable. There are not many tables in a day, and it closed after less than three months.The boss lost all the money he earned from opening the store in his hometown, and he still owes people a lot of money. "
"Sister, Aidong and I met in that restaurant." Zhang Hongmei giggled, thinking about it and muttering: "The boss still owes Aidong and me a month's salary, and I don't know where he is hiding. You can’t get it all.”
Han Xiangning nodded and asked, "What about later?"
"The restaurant is closed. We don't want to go back to our hometown, so we are looking for a job in Chendu. We have worked in several stores and know a lot of people." Zhang Hongmei turned to look at her boyfriend, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I have been a waiter, love Dong also has been working in the back kitchen, and we have also worked in five-star hotels."
"We don't have many five-star hotels in Binjiang. Why didn't you do it later?"
"The kitchen of a big hotel is contracted by others. It's a bit like an engineering team. The head chef contracts the kitchen and takes the chef, side dishes, lotus and handymen to work. It's not because the wages are not paid in time. The hotel needs to change the dishes and tastes, and it needs to change people, anyway, it won’t last long in a big hotel, and the salary in a big hotel is not high.”
"Aidong, have you ever contracted the kitchen of a big hotel?"
"I didn't. I followed others."
While chatting, Han Yu came back.
Like Han Xiangning, Han Yu was shocked by the delicious food prepared and the tidy and clean living room, and couldn't help laughing: "Aidong, Hongmei, I'm going to take you to the cafeteria to eat, you guys In turn, he bought vegetables and cooked for us!"
"We went to the wholesale market in the afternoon. We saw a lot of vendors selling vegetables and seasonings, so we bought some and made them ourselves."
"Did you go to the wholesale market again after trying the dishes this afternoon?" "I...I want to see what dishes are here and what seasonings are there."
It's really doing what you do and loving what you do.
Han Yu realized that his little cousin was more sensible and outstanding than he imagined, and was about to ask how the conversation with the bosses of other restaurants in the afternoon was. The little cousin put the stewed braised pork on a plate and urged him and Han Xiangning to go out eat first.
"Don't worry, we'll wait for you, let's eat together."
"Don't wait for me, I'll be fine soon."
Zhang Hongmei put the braised pork with delicious flavor and flavor on the table, picked up a bottle of juice and turned around to say hello: "Sister, brother-in-law, let's eat first, we really don't have to wait!"
My mother does the same when cooking at home, she always likes to watch others eat the dishes she cooks.
Han Yu could understand the chef's feelings, so he simply washed his hands, sat down and said with a smile, "Okay, let's wait while we eat."
Facts have proved that the craftsmanship of professional chefs is better than that of mother-in-law's amateur chef.
The saliva chicken is spicy and delicious, the garlic and white meat is not greasy at all, and the red oil ear shreds are both fragrant and crisp.
Han Yu's favorite food is the sauerkraut fish made by his little cousin. The fish meat is sliced into thin slices with a razor blade. There are no thorns. It is very tender and fragrant, and it melts in the mouth.Thick fish soup is more delicious, especially appetizing...
"San'er, don't you not eat fish?" Seeing him eating non-stop, Han Xiangning couldn't help asking with a smile.
"This is pickled fish. The fish is delicious and so is the pickled cabbage!"
Han Yu took a sip of the soup, raised his head and smiled and said, "Ai Dong, don't throw away this soup later, save it for me to cook noodles for tomorrow morning. Under the fish soup, it must be delicious."
"Yes!" The cousin and cousin-in-law liked the dishes they cooked, and Xiang Aidong felt a sense of accomplishment.
Han Yu smiled and said, "I almost forgot to ask, how many companies did I talk to this afternoon?"
Han Xiangning didn't know why and subconsciously asked: "What are you talking about?"
"Talking about work, Aidong and Hongmei went out to look for work today."
"You go out and look for work by yourself?"
Before Xiang Aidong could speak, Zhang Hongmei said matter-of-factly: "We all look for jobs on our own. Sometimes we are introduced by friends, but mainly we look for jobs on our own."
Han Xiangning couldn't believe her ears, and asked in surprise, "How do I find it?"
"Go out for a run. Whenever a restaurant is recruiting people, they will write a recruitment sign at the door. Go in and ask the boss directly. The agencies are all scammers. The restaurants we worked in before didn't let the agencies help recruit people at all, but the agencies still took their money. The agency fee will be paid to our hotel."
"You found it?"
"I found it. We found several restaurants and talked about several restaurants. In the end, we decided that the small restaurant that is being renovated behind Wenfeng shopping mall is the best."
The little cousin and the little cousin's girlfriend have now found a job!
Han Xiangning was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Han Yu smiled and asked, "Why do you think that one is better?"
Xiang Aidong took a sip of his drink and explained: "Although the store is small, there are several big shopping malls around the store, many selling mobile phones, the market is good, and there are many people. As long as the food is good and the price is affordable, the business It won’t be bad. Only when the boss makes money can he pay us wages.”
"Aidong, you have skills and vision, you can open your own shop and be the boss!"
"Brother-in-law, our goal is to open our own restaurant in the future." Zhang Hongmei looked back at her boyfriend, full of beautiful vision for the future.
Xiang Aidong was a little embarrassed, he hesitated and said: "When we earn enough money, we will go back to our hometown to build a building."
If you have a goal, you will be motivated. If you have a dream, you will work hard for it.
Han Xiangning realized that she should no longer treat her little cousin as a child, but as a little man with ideals, goals, and a strong sense of responsibility to his girlfriend and the whole family. He couldn't help asking: "Speak to the boss Yet?"
"It's settled. The boss is opening a restaurant for the first time, but he has a friend who owns a restaurant. In the afternoon, he took me to his friend's restaurant to try dishes. After trying the dishes and talking for more than half an hour, he asked me to be the head chef of his restaurant. Let Hongmei be the foreman, and let us go to work in the store tomorrow."
"How much is it a month?"
"me?"
"Ah."
"Two thousand and two."
Han Xiangning exclaimed, "So many!"
That's not much...
Xiang Aidong felt that the deputy mayor's cousin seemed to have never seen the world, so he laughed and said: "His shop not only does cooking, but also hot pot. I not only want to cook, but also cook hot pot ingredients for him. The boss still wants to open At twelve o'clock at night, there is a lot of work to be done, and the time is still long, and I have to help him in charge of the back kitchen, which is about two thousand two thousand a month."
My little cousin is so capable!
Han Xiangning asked happily, "Where's Hongmei?"
"My salary is not as high as that of Ai Donggao. The boss said he wanted me to be the foreman, but his restaurant is so small, with only [-] tables and a small box. In fact, he is a waiter. I pay five hundred a month, but the boss said, sell The commission for wine and drinks goes to the waiter."
"Is there a commission for drinks?"
"Yes, there are commissions for selling apple cider vinegar and beer. It's just not much, but it adds up. The sales are good, and there are one or two hundred a month."
"Who will give this commission?"
"The person who specializes in delivering drinks to the restaurant gives it to the boss. The boss gets the profit, and the waiter gets the waiter's commission."
It's really interlaced like a mountain. I didn't expect that there are so many ways in the hotel.
Just when Han Yu was thinking about going to the restaurant when he had time, the little cousin actually put down his chopsticks and said cautiously: "Sister, brother-in-law, the boss rents a room above the restaurant, and we have to watch in the store as soon as we go to work." Now, we need to buy a lot of things for decoration and help recruit people, and there are more things to do after the opening, the boss and the proprietress want us to move in."
"You have to move over there!"
"It's convenient to move there."
……
It can be seen that not only the owner and the proprietress of the restaurant want them to move there, but they also want to move there themselves.
Han Yu and Han Xiangning had no choice but to agree.
Calling his mother-in-law who was far away in the East China Sea at night, Han Yu said with a wry smile, "Mom, they found the job by themselves, and they will move there tomorrow. It has nothing to do with me and Ning Ning!"
Director Xiang was very happy that his nephew was going to be successful. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Isn't that great?"
Senior sister went out shopping with her little cousin and his little girlfriend. There were no outsiders at home, and Han Yu had no scruples. He smiled and said, "But they came to look for us, and we didn't do anything to help. Thinking about it, I feel embarrassed." Yes. And Aidong's craftsmanship is really good, and Hongmei's young lady is also very smart and capable, they can find jobs anywhere, there is no need to come to Binjiang."
"What is this talking about?"
I asked the director back, and said with emotion: "The reason why I insisted on persuading them to go to Binjiang, the reason why your uncle and your aunt are so supportive, is not for other reasons, but because I think that with you and Ningning, I can have a happy life." Take care. San'er, when Hanhan grows up and goes to school or work in other places, you and Ningning will know what it means to worry about a child traveling thousands of miles."
"Just want to have a care?"
"Isn't this enough?" Director Xiang smiled and continued: "The two children are sensible and don't need you to worry about. You can't be so careless. Didn't he find a job? He is still working as a chef in a restaurant. In the future, If there is an opportunity, take care of the business of other people’s restaurants.”
"I know, I will definitely go, and I will take Xiaoyu there then."
