The arrival of Yu Xun seems to inject a new vitality into the kitchen.
In fact, kitchen work can be boring after working for a long time, especially jobs where there are many men. It really needs beautiful women to spice things up.
This large kitchen is mostly populated by men and there are only a few female helpers, and they are all middle-aged women.
The chefs in charge are all men, as are the apprentices.
Their work is busy and boring. Now that such a beautiful girl has arrived, it is as if the dry land has suddenly been injected with life. They feel that they are more motivated to work.
"What kind of relationship do you think she has with the general manager? The general manager even brought her here in person?"
one young apprentice asked another.
They both graduated from the same school, a technical school, and were only eighteen or nineteen years old when they graduated.
"What are you doing? You ask so clearly that you want to chase someone?"
"Well, who wouldn't want to chase such a beautiful girl?"
"I advise you to forget it. Didn't the head chef ask her about it then? The CEO of Ji's is her eldest uncle."
"Brother? Under what circumstances would you call me uncle?"
"Sister-in-law?"
"Holy crap, are you married?"
The two young people were shocked and disappointed for a while.
Then I didn’t understand, Ji, isn’t that just marrying into a wealthy family? Why are you still working here?
Yu Xun didn't even notice that everyone was talking about her, she was focused on her work.
The whole morning was spent picking vegetables, bending over the whole time, and Yu Xun didn't even say she was tired.
Soon it was ten fifty, and Aunt Chun said it was time to eat.
Their lunch time is from ten fifty to eleven twenty.
The place to eat is also in the kitchen. The prepared dishes are placed on the stainless steel dining table in the middle. The dishes include meat and vegetables.
Steamed fish, dried shredded beef, Maoxuewang, boiled papaya with red kidney beans, fried celery with lily, and sweet potato leaves. The portions of the dishes are very generous and served on large plates. There are three plates of steamed fish in total.
There are also a lot of people here. There are 32 people in total including chefs, kitchen assistants and other staff.
Everyone basically eats out of their own bowls. Yu Xun didn't bring anything with her today, so a male chef brought her a vegetable bowl from the kitchen.
Yu Xun took it and thanked her. Everyone used chopsticks to eat. The dishes for more than thirty people were divided into three portions. There were three tables. Everyone sat down when eating, and there were special high stools.
At this time, it was also time for everyone to take a break, so everyone just chatted.
Today’s protagonist is of course Yu Xun.
Almost all the men looked towards her.
Beautiful women are popular everywhere, especially girls like Yu Xun who make men feel the desire to protect them at the first glance.
Now several men were courting Yu Xun. One male chef moved a high stool for Yu Xun and let her sit on it. Another male chef asked her to relax and eat whatever she wanted.
Another chef said: "Every chef here cooks one dish, so there are Hunan dishes, Sichuan dishes, local dishes, Cantonese dishes, and Northeastern dishes. There will always be a dish that suits your taste."
With that said, the man smiled at Yu Xun, who nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," another chef said, "Where are you from?"
"Province Y."
"Then your cuisine should be similar to Hunan cuisine, you can eat spicy food."
"Yeah." Yu Xun nodded.
Then everyone started eating, and the men continued to watch Yu Xun while eating.
Seeing Yu Xunwen's quiet manner, they sat in a well-behaved manner. When picking up food, they only picked up the two dishes in front of them and didn't make a single sound while eating.
Lowering his head and looking up, he saw those long and curly eyelashes, big watery eyes, skin so tender that it could pinch water, and lips. Is that a mole?
Everyone was staring at Yu Xun's lips, and Yu Xun could also feel that everyone was looking at her. She still ate her food quietly, not looking back but not showing any disgust. For this kind of looking at her, she Already used to it.
Soon, she finished her meal and stood up to take the bowl to wash. The male chef sitting next to her immediately said: "Leave it here without washing it. There is a special dishwasher. You didn't bring a water glass, did you?"
"No."
The man immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, but there was someone faster than him. A young man near the water dispenser quickly took a disposable cup, poured water and brought it to Yu Xun.
"Come on, beauty." He smiled and handed the water to Yu Xun.
Yu Xun said thank you and took it.
The young man immediately smiled and said, "No thank you."
When Yu Xun finished drinking the water and looked for the trash can, another man immediately took the water glass for her and told her the location of the trash can while helping her throw the water glass away.
The men rushed to show their courtesy to Yu Xun, and several women were there to watch the fun with smiles on their faces.
They are already middle-aged women, and they are married, have husbands and children, so they will not be jealous of a little girl.
Then someone asked Yu Xun's name again. After Yu Xun said it, the person said, "Is it okay to call you Xiaoye from now on?"
Yu Xun nodded, "Okay."
Therefore, the name of Yuxun here is unified as Xiaoye.
The lunch time is very short, only half an hour. After everyone finishes the meal and chats for a few words, it is not far from work time.
The dishwasher came to clear the table, and Yu Xun helped carry the dishes. The dishwasher smiled and said no to her, and asked her to rest for a few minutes.
In the afternoon, we still pick vegetables, but when it is time to go to work, everyone is busy, cutting vegetables, washing vegetables, cooking vegetables, and picking vegetables.
The chefs' pots have already started to stir-fry, and after each dish is out of the pot, those who put it on the plate, those who platter it, those who put it on the plate... each perform their duties.
Li Qiuye hadn't left yet. At twelve o'clock, she and Chen Wanru had dinner together in the hotel.
"It's time for Xun Xun to get off work now. Ask her to come with us for dinner." Li Qiuye said, about to call Yu Xun.
Chen Wanru said: "Mom, it's already time for her to go to work. They eat earlier than us. From ten fifty to eleven twenty it is the time to eat. They have already finished eating by now."
"So early?"
"Well, they are the kitchen, and the time we eat is when they are busy."
Only then did Li Qiuye react and said, "Yes, Wanru, is the food in your hotel good? Working in the kitchen is quite tiring, isn't it?"
"The food is good, don't worry. It's tiring, but it's definitely not as good as sitting in an office."
"I wonder if Xun Xun can tolerate the food?" Li Qiuye said, with a look of concern and worry on his face, "Wanru, the chef you introduced, will he take care of Xun Xun well and teach her kung fu?"
"How should I put this? In fact, to reach the position of head chef, one's skills are very impressive, even for a few chefs. However, those who are truly skilled in craftsmanship are all aloof.
Just like the kitchen, everyone has his or her own place, and that place belongs to him personally. The chefs, their pots, and knives all belong to them. Others cannot touch them. You are not qualified. "
Chen Wanru explained patiently.
Li Qiuye asked: "Did they buy the pot and kitchen knife themselves?"
"No, it's assigned by the hotel, but it belongs to him in that position. Not just anyone can cook. You have to be qualified to do it."
"What about Nettle Nettle?"
"Yu Xun is definitely not qualified now. As for the head chef, although I explicitly said that I would hand Yu Xun over to her today, whether he sincerely teaches her or not, it depends on Yu Xun himself whether he recognizes this apprentice or not. I can't help him. busy.
Mom, every industry has its own rules. I cannot use my power to suppress them. Even if he gives me a face, he is not convinced and will not sincerely teach Yu Xun, so it still depends on Yu Xun's own personal destiny. . "
"Then..." Li Qiuye started to worry again, "Then if he never taught Xun Xun, he would have known that it would be better to let Xun Xun sit in the office."
"Oh, Mom, why are you worrying so much!"
Chen Wanru said, "It's just Yu Xun's first day at work. If you ask her to sit in the office, she may not be willing.
I feel that she is a girl with her own ideas. She likes to cook and may prefer working in the kitchen.
You don't have to worry too much about her, maybe she has the talent in this area and will be favored by the chef. "
At this point, Chen Wanru smiled and said to Li Qiuye, "You care so much about Yu Xun that you act as if she is your own daughter."
Li Qiuye also had a smile on his face when he said this, and said: "I just think it's very difficult for this child Xun Xun."
"It's not easy for anyone. It's not easy for me to manage such a big hotel. Everyone has his or her own destiny. Please just worry less about it. I feel like you worry more about Yu Xun recently than you have in the past year." I have a lot of heart."
With that said, Chen Wanru served Li Qiuye some food, but Li Qiuye stopped talking when he got here.
Time flies when you are busy, and the afternoon passes quickly. At four o'clock, you get off work.
Everyone packed up and went to the locker room to change clothes.
At this time, another group of people came to take over, and Yu Xun's group got off work.
There is a locker for each person in the locker room, separate for men and women.
At this time, Yu Xun arrived at the dressing room, changed out of her clothes and put them in her bag, taking them back to be washed. She also put her mobile phone in her bag.
Working here is not like working in a box before. You can bring your mobile phone here during working hours, but Yu Xun didn't bring it with him at that time, so he just put it in his bag.
Now I put my clothes on and took out my phone. As soon as I got it, I got a call. It was from Ji Mingli.
"Second sister-in-law, have you gone to work today? Are you at sister-in-law's hotel?"
"Yes. I've already gone to work, and now I'm off work."
"Oh? It's time to get off work. Then wait for me and I'll pick you up."
"Mingli, no need."
"It's okay. I don't have anything else to do anyway. Sister-in-law, please wait for me."
After Ji Mingli's call, the phone rang again. It was Ji Mingze calling.
