Chapter 4 New arrivals
After Qin Jianguo left, Master Guo led Qin Feng around the huge kitchen, casually told him some basic rules in the kitchen, and then called a young man about 20 years old and ordered: "Xiao Zhao, this is a new apprentice, I will follow you from now on."
Xiao Zhao nodded quickly and said yes. When Master Guo left, he quickly put his shoulders on Qin Feng's shoulders and asked with a pure Northeast accent with a smile: "Little brother, what's your name?"
"Qin Feng."
"The peak of the character "shan" or the tip of the character "jin"?"
"The wind blowing."
"What?"
“The wind of the electric fan.”
"Oh?" Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "It's a coincidence, my name is Zhao Yun. We are now Fengyun combination!"
Qin Feng was lucky that he had no salt soda in his mouth, otherwise he would have sprayed it out now. If he had known that there were many people in Zhao, he might have been able to name the children Zhao Yun, but he really didn't expect to meet them here.
Qin Feng laughed dryly, not expressing his opinion.
Xiao Zhao asked again: "How old are you this year?"
Qin Feng replied: "I'm 16 years old."
Xiao Zhao smiled and said in surprise: "Oh, I'm so young, have you finished junior high school?"
Qin Feng replied with a smile: "I've finished reading."
"It's good to finish your studies. Don't look at the chef's career as a chef. I told you that you have to be educated now. If you want to take the level certificate in the future, you have to have a written test." Xiao Zhao and Qin Feng showed off.
Qin Feng expressed his teaching perfunctorily.
Seeing Qin Feng's brows and pleasing eyes, Xiao Zhao immediately felt his vanity as a senior. He patted Qin Feng's shoulder and taught him earnestly: "It's okay. If you want to take the grade, you have to wait for at least seven or eight years first, and there is still a lot of time. In this world, I'm afraid of the word "serious". Now I start to study hard, and it's still time." As he said, he seemed to treat Qin Feng as a poor student.
Qin Feng had nothing to explain to him, and nodded with a smile.
Xiao Zhao said much more than Qin Feng imagined. He pulled Qin Feng to ask questions about his parents' questions for more than ten minutes. It was not until Qin Feng said that he was a local from the city that he lost interest in continuing to ask questions, and instead acted as an official attitude, assigning Qin Feng the morning work.
"It's 6 o'clock in the morning to go to work, and you don't need to do breakfast. All you have to do is come and wash dishes early. When the masters start work at noon, you can stand with me and watch. Master Tang, who takes us, asks you to help you, then you can move. Otherwise, you won't touch anything on the stove. Do you understand?"
Qin Feng nodded and asked, "Then I'll go wash the dishes now?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhao pointed his head, "You come with me first and change the work clothes."
Xiao Zhao led Qin Feng to the kitchen locker room, opened the door, and saw dense white work clothes hanging on three walls. Xiao Zhao pointed inside and said, "You go and choose a similar one to put on. The clothes you took off will be hung on the wall. Take out all the things in your pocket and put them in your pants, otherwise you will not compensate if you lose them in your hotel."
Qin Feng followed the words and went in and chose a suitable one to change. After changing the clothes, Xiao Zhao took him to the dishwasher.
As soon as he entered the dishwasher, Xiao Zhao shouted to someone inside: "Wen Qiang, this kid is new, please watch it!"
Xiao Zhao pointed to Qin Feng beside him. The slightly fat young man named Wen Qiang ran over immediately, looked at Qin Feng, and smiled and said, "Are you a new apprentice?"
"Yes, the name is Qin Feng." Xiao Zhao replied for Qin Feng.
"Okay, do it well when you come!" Wen Qiang slapped Qin Feng's arm and pointed at the countertop when washing dishes. "The rag and gloves are all there, so don't need to teach how to wash dishes, right?"
Qin Feng nodded with a smile and started working very consciously.
As soon as Qin Feng walked away, Xiao Zhao grabbed Wen Qiang, pointed at Qin Feng and muttered in a low voice: "He said he is a local."
"Is that true?" Wen Qiang smiled faintly.
Xiao Zhao said: "Don't you find it strange? Locals from Dong'ou City actually came out to work at such a young age. Didn't they say that the people here are very rich?"
"No matter how rich a place is, there will always be one or two people without money." Wen Qiang smiled.
Xiao Zhao didn't get the same answer as he wanted, and suddenly lost his interest in continuing to be nonsense. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't talk to you, I'm going to work." After that, he walked out of the dishwasher, not knowing what kind of work he was going to do.
The hotel bowls are actually cleaned every night when they close. In the morning, the main purpose is to rinse away the smell of water overnight, so you don’t need detergent at all. Just use clean water to just wash it, it’s very convenient to wash.
But even so, it is quite a lot of work to wash thousands of bowls again.
After washing some of the dishes and chopsticks, they were taken to the hotel's buffet restaurant, and the rest they didn't need were put back into the disinfection cabinet.
Qin Feng sat in front of the dishwasher and washed until almost 7 o'clock in one breath, and finally stopped work.
At 7:30, the hotel manager called out everyone in the kitchen and held a brief morning meeting. After the meeting, Master Guo introduced Qin Feng to the manager again.
"Since you have already worked during the day, come here during the day. Your work hours are from 6 am to 5 pm. When you are busy during the Chinese New Year, you come to help in the evening. The store will calculate the overtime pay for you. There is still half of the time this month, so the salary will not be paid first, just treat it as a probation period. Starting next month, the monthly salary will be 1,200 yuan. Starting today, you can eat all three meals in the store. Since you are a local, I will not arrange a dormitory for you."
The manager named Wang explained Qin Feng's welfare and obligations in just a few words.
Qin Feng had no objection to such scheduling and treatment. As for coming to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, Qin Feng calculated his life in his heart, and thought to himself whether he would still be here at that time, so he might be able to do so.
After the morning meeting, it will be a long rest time for most people in the hotel.
Everyone sat in the employee lounge, taking a nap or dazed, or just like Xiao Zhao, holding the book "Zhiyin" to supplement his spiritual chicken soup.
Qin Feng closed his eyes and rested until 9 o'clock. Just when he was almost asleep, someone patted his body and said in his ear: "Young man, wake up."
Qin Feng immediately opened his eyes and saw a honest and fat face.
"Oh, you're not asleep." The fat-faced man said with a smile and asked again, "Are you a new apprentice?"
Qin Feng nodded.
The fat-faced man introduced himself: "My surname is Tang. From now on, you will follow me when you enter the kitchen."
When Qin Feng heard that he was bringing his master, he quickly stood up and said, "Hello Master Tang."
