Of course, before officially going to work, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had to come to "Tianxingju" to report to Manager Sha and the kitchen manager.
If you can't pass the final hurdle of this interview, it will still be in vain.
In fact, as Manager Sha and Master Si, they don't care about anything else. They just want to see if these two boys have bad tempers and are willing to listen to the leader. Can they work hard without being too dirty and smelly?
But the actual situation is much better than they imagined.
Especially Si Yongxiang. He almost wanted to give full marks to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan in his heart.
First of all, it’s because their clothes are quite simple, clean and tidy, without so much debris. Their hair is also very short, and they are both in a buzz cut.
Just looking at his appearance, he looks like a working man. Much better than those young people in the store who like big sideburns, shiny hair, or curly heads.
Secondly, the two of them have good bodies, and judging by their arms and legs, they will definitely be of great use, making it easier for the brothers.
The key is that the two children are really good-natured and quite sensible.
When I entered the room, I first called for someone and then offered a cigarette, and then I stood there honestly. I wasn’t scared or impatient. I had already listened to Manager Sha’s unsatisfactory remarks for a long time, and I didn’t feel the slightest bit impatient or impatient.
Okay! Great!
Then the rest depends on their daily performance. If they are a little diligent and clever, as long as they don't become lazy, don't learn to be slippery, and don't learn to be cunning, then they are really two good boys who have no choice!
Alas! But why do you think such a good boy has to fight?
Can I still have a future if I take this wrong path? No matter what I do in this life, I will suffer a fate. There is no big future...
Thinking of this, Si Yongxiang was really overflowing with sympathy. He hurriedly coughed twice to remind Sha Liangbao. That meant that he already liked her, and you almost got it, so don't keep saying unpleasant things.
The fat manager received the signal and decided enough was enough.
His eyes had the taste of charity, and he looked condescendingly at the faces of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. Finally, in an official tone, he ended the conversation with a final warning.
"Ah... you must understand that no one dares to use people like you two? We can trust you, and you must cherish this opportunity. Don't do evil things in the future, and don't do impulsive and stupid things...
...If you made mistakes in the past, you can just change them, but if you make the same old mistakes again, no one can help you..."
"Oh, we must listen to the manager."
Hong Yanwu lost no time in giving another "Fragrant Mountain" to Manager Sha. Manager Sha took it calmly, as if his throat was smoking. He raised the cup and drank water while waving at them.
In this way, Si Yongxiang took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan out.
After that, he took them to get their work uniforms, and then went to see the "intestine washing workshop" which was less than six square meters, and told them the daily working hours and work content in the future. This is probably the preliminary work training before taking up the job.
.
When it comes to how to get along in interpersonal relationships, Si Yongxiang also doesn't hide it.
He clearly told them that from now on, they only need to be responsible for themselves. Manager Sha doesn't care much about the specific work and is mainly responsible for going to the company for meetings. If he is not a bad person, he just has a good face. As long as he is respectful at ordinary times.
Then he took them to other areas in the back kitchen, and introduced them to several senior chefs who were the "backbones" of the store.
In the end, I only gave them one warning, which was not to compare with the young people in the store.
Si Yongxiang said that they are different from these well-connected boys and girls. The work is hard and the pay is low. But no one can do anything about it. Who makes them not have a good father and mother? If they are not balanced in their hearts, they will also
If they live like those young people, there will be no place for them in this store.
Listening to these words, it may make many people who are dismissive of the front door of the small restaurant burst into laughter, and it may make many young and energetic people yell "fuck" behind their backs.
But Hong Yanwu could understand that this was the ugly talk in front of him, and he was thinking about them.
To put it bluntly, he understands this truth: fairness will never exist.
Although the citizens of this capital city share the same space and the same time, even though this is a country that claims that "there is no distinction between high and low social occupations, they all serve the people."
But there are differences between people after all, and the levels between people are always real.
Even in such a small and inconspicuous unit, there are many things that are similar to those above.
For someone who has connections in the family, can stay in the city smoothly, and is assigned to work in a small restaurant, this is enough to be arrogant in front of the educated youth who go to the countryside. Not to mention people like him and Chen Liquan.
This phenomenon is actually the same as that of a certain "big man" who sent his nephew to work in the city government. This young man made some people respect him especially. It is exactly the same in nature.
Even in today's society, don't there still exist differences between regular workers and contract workers in some jobs and units that seem respectable in public perception?
Although they both work in the same place, the two types of employees are completely different in terms of wages, benefits, work intensity and even promotion opportunities.
And this is not only the case in our republic, but also among the little devils and second devils who pursue capitalism. Is there anything strange about it?
Seeing the big from the small, the true epitome of the nature of human society, is nothing more than this.
Precisely because Master Si Yongxiang is such a kind-hearted and kind person, just like Si Yongxiang fell in love with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan as soon as they met, even though it was only their first meeting, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also had a great impression of this sincere chef.
.
So from the next day, the two of them followed Si Yongxiang's instructions and worked hard at "Tianxingju" with a sense of respect.
When it comes to the work content of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, it is relatively simple.
In fact, they don't even have to deal with the busiest breakfast at work. They are mainly responsible for processing raw materials such as pig intestines. Specifically, they wash the intestines, cook the intestines, and cut the intestines.
The difficulty is that the large intestine of pigs weighing more than 100 kilograms per day is relatively large, and it is annoying, tiring and smelly to deal with it in time.
Another thing is that alkali, salt and vinegar have corrosive effects. After playing with this thing for a long time, even if you wear rubber gloves, it is inevitable that there will be a tear or something, and your hands will still feel very uncomfortable.
However, Hong Yanwu is a man who can figure things out, and there is no distinction between Chen Liquan and him. There is no calculation about who will do more and who will do less.
So the two of them quickly figured out the trick and worked together to do the job brilliantly.
First of all, Hong Yanwu would never let himself suffer.
Seeing that his application with Manager Sha was unsuccessful, he simply bought a mask and brand new rubber gloves with his own money.
Secondly, he and Chen Liquan made a clear division of labor on the assembly line.
You are responsible for removing the head and tail of the intestines. I am responsible for soaking them with alkali and salt. You are responsible for rinsing them with vinegar and water, and I will heat up the pot and only cook the large intestines.
Finally, the two of them cut the large intestine into "thimble pieces" together. Everything worked together.
The two brothers have such a tacit understanding of their close cooperation, and they are both strong and agile people. Especially Chen Liquan, who has real skills in his hands. For a master who rubs iron sand all the time, washing some pig intestines is nothing.
His "muscle-splitting and bone-breaking hand" can even remove an entire pig skeleton quietly and without any trace of meat.
So if you really have to work quickly, they can basically complete these tasks in three hours, and they fully meet the requirements of "Tianxingju" for processing raw materials.
This work efficiency is a record, and all the old masters have to admire it. They all say behind their backs, "I have never seen such fast hands. When it comes to working, you really have to be a young man!"
"
However, just being able to do the work is not enough. In the eyes of the veteran workers, it is considered good to finish the work from beginning to end and not cause trouble to others.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not disappoint in this regard. After finishing the large intestine every day, they did not act like heroes and just left the dirty and smelly mess behind.
They have to tidy up their "intestinal washing workshop" and rinse all the pots, stoves and tools before they really stop. There is not even a little bit of confusion.
And even after completing all their duties, they will not just sit idle.
I usually drink some tea first, take a breather, and then smoke for the masters.
Then, while everyone was chatting together, I took the initiative to peel the garlic, and then pounded it all into fine garlic paste, which saved the master chefs from having to do it again.
If they still have time, they might even go into the back kitchen and help the two eldest ladies in charge of washing dishes, sorting out the special "horn bowls" for "fried liver", stacking plates, inserting chopsticks and so on.
Anyway, I'll help whatever I can. No need for anyone to open their mouths at all.
This not only connects the relationship, but also shares the work for the old workers, which naturally makes the old workers praise each other behind their backs.
"These two boys are sensible! They are much better than those little bastards who can only talk nonsense all day long. This time they have made a fortune! We must be kind to them and let them continue to work..."
In this way, with the ability to talk and work, plus the "cigarette offensive", within a few days, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan completely won the appreciation of the veteran workers, making everyone in the kitchen regard them as their younger brothers or juniors
.It’s not to mention how harmonious they are to get along with each other.
Of course, you will not only gain goodwill and kindness in "Tianxingju".
It was exactly the opposite of the old workers. Although Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's hard work successfully solved the big problems for "Tianxingju", the young workers looked down upon them.
Because these people don't care what happens to "Tianxingju" and have no sense of responsibility for their work.
They just felt that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were superfluous. They worked so hard and stupidly, which not only made comparison between them useless, but also made the old employees criticize them more.
So they naturally regarded Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan as a thorn in their side, and they said a lot of unpleasant things in private.
There are a few boys who usually cause trouble, and they even discussed it in private, planning to sneak to the entrance of the "Colon Cleansing Workshop" to throw garbage, spit, and provoke in this way, and have a fight with Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
.
It's just that before this happened, the few guys who planned to find trouble lost the courage.
