Everyone hopes to have a stable job and be able to keep it for a long time, rather than being laid off and looking for new jobs. However, the hotel industry has its own particularities, and it is not possible to work as long as you want. Employees may work for a lifetime.
But a boss may not always be a restaurant owner, so it is normal to be laid off from a hotel job.
In ten days, Lao Tan will be laid off from his job in Ganqika.
This layoff was expected. When I came here, I knew I could only work until the Spring Festival. The only people who came to Ganqi Kadai this time were Hua Qing, Sun Haicheng, Wang Hong, and the cold dish chef. There was not much pressure, unlike in Binhai.
When I was working, more than 30 people were transferred from the provincial capital, and when they were not working, they were assigned jobs one by one. It was so stressful. Moreover, these four people had already made arrangements to go to Yanhua's hotel with me after the Chinese New Year.
The wages Lao Tan set for them were not low, Huaqing four thousand, Sun Haicheng, Wang Hong, and the cold dish chefs all paid three thousand and five. This salary was also high in the provincial capital. Once you work with me, you can't treat me badly, and four
The individual handlebars are also worth the money.
Sun Haicheng and Hua Qing planned to go out to study after the Chinese New Year, and they also contacted the place. The fourth child did a good job in the provincial capital. His fusion cuisine was famous and authentic. He introduced the two of them there, hoping to learn something.
.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and small counties are no better than big cities. They get busier as the New Year approaches. Rural customs are still maintained here. Every family goes to the market and shop to prepare New Year goods, and they rarely go out to eat.
Lao Tan has been working here for half a year and has made many friends, all of whom are very supportive. Before leaving, he had to treat them to a meal.
On the morning of the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, I called Director Wu, Zhang Zhigong, Bart, and the heads of several units in advance and invited them to come over for dinner in the evening and have a fun time together.
At 4:30, the guests arrived one after another. They were arranged in the largest private room, and there were twenty-two people in total. These people were all hotel hosts and were familiar with Lao Tan. They were all considered brothers and sisters and were good friends who talked about everything.
Director Hu from the Osteopathic Hospital also came.
The purpose of Dean Hu's visit was clear to Lao Tan, and he came after Dade's bracelet. Since Dade gave his bracelet to Lao Tan, Dean Hu came several times, and he always came with fine bracelets.
I wanted to trade with Lao Tan, but Lao Tan politely refused. This time he came with a good bracelet and a pair of walnuts, and he was determined not to give up until he kept the bracelet.
Lao Tan did not disappoint him and directly gave him the bracelet.
Knowing that Lao Tan was leaving here, Director Wu and Zhang Zhigong were a little reluctant to leave. They felt that they had nothing to do with Lao Tan, so they brought a lot of local specialties and asked Lao Tan to take them back.
Others got along well with Lao Tan and brought gifts more or less. The fat head nurse at the osteopathic hospital was the funniest. She bought Lao Tan a Mongolian hat. After wearing it, Lao Tan looked more like a Mongolian.
People.
Dean Hu was very happy to get the bracelet. While playing with it, he said to Old Tan: "Old Tan, it seems that you are destined to have a relationship with Buddha."
Lao Tan said: "More or less, I don't believe in Buddhism, but I like to study."
"Buddhism, like our medicine, is about saving all sentient beings. We save lives, and they save hearts." Dean Hu said.
"Dean Hu, this is enlightenment and a blessing to the people." Lao Tan said with admiration.
Dean Hu picked up the wine glass and took a sip with Lao Tan, and said: "Without compassion, it is difficult to do Xinglin Hands. This is what the old lama said. My father told me. It took me so many years to understand it. I know this string of hands."
Who are you talking about? It's the old lama's, I think it's just for the sake of thinking, our old Hu family is what we are today, it's all because of the old lama's enlightenment."
Lao Tan said: "To understand the Tao through medicine is the same as Buddhism. Dean Hu is a man of great enlightenment."
"Haha, it's not as good as Brother Tan. Brother Tan has superb cooking skills and noble cooking ethics. If nothing else, there are a lot of cooks in Ganqika, and there are not a few who are well-known. How many can do it like you? Ganqika tonight
Most of the important officials from the government are here, and your appeal is no less than that of the flag leader. What does that mean? It means that you, Lao Tan, are virtuous and upright, and everyone admires you."
Lao Tan was a little embarrassed and his face turned red. But it was true that these people came because of Lao Tan's character and virtue. If Lao Tan's people were not good at what they did, they would not come.
When people pass by, they leave their names, and when they pass by, they leave their voices. No matter where you work, you must keep your conscience straight, be a real person, and walk in a down-to-earth manner. I guarantee you will not make any mistakes.
Director Wu, who had the deepest friendship with him, was reluctant to leave Lao Tan and raised his glass frequently, and Lao Tan also drank freely.
The atmosphere was lively and everyone drank a lot.
Half of the people at the table were Mongolians, and they sang and danced when they got up to drink, and the commotion continued until midnight.
After seeing everyone off, Lao Tan walked upstairs, stumbling with his feet a bit mixed with garlic.
Wang Hong was worried that he had drunk too much, so she came down to check on him once at eleven o'clock, and saw that he was still drinking, so she went upstairs. She came down again at twelve o'clock, and saw him staggering upstairs, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Drink so much again." Wang Hong scolded.
"Happy, we are all buddies, drink more." Lao Tan said with his tongue curled.
"I think you are dying."
"Haha, sister, it's okay, I didn't drink too much."
She said she hadn't drunk much, but her feet didn't obey her orders. She was leaning forward, either to the left or to the right, or not walking in the right way. Wang Hong couldn't hold her up by herself, so she called Tana in the corridor, and the two of them held her up.
Help him into the bedroom.
After arriving at the dormitory, I lay down on the bed, mumbling that I didn't drink much and nothing happened.
Wang Hong made tea and asked him to drink a cup to sober up.
Lao Tan sat up and didn't drink immediately. He lit a cigarette and started smoking.
"Don't drink this wine, your body will be damaged." Wang Hong said with concern.
"Well, I won't drink anymore." Lao Tan said.
"I see you've been drinking too much lately. How can you drink like this, even if you drink a lot?" Wang Hong said and handed the tea to Lao Tan, "Drink it, it's not hot anymore."
Lao Tan drank a cup of tea and felt better. He said to Wang Hong: "Sister, there is no direct train from Ganqika to Tieling. We have to take the train to the provincial capital. Then we will go together."
"Well, let's go together. I'll go to the provincial capital to buy some things. I'll also see Xiaomei and Zhang Li. I'll stay for a day and then go home. There'll be nothing wrong when I go home. It's just me." Wang Hong said.
"If you don't celebrate the New Year at my house, I still have a place to live."
Wang Hong smiled and said: "What's the point of celebrating the New Year at your house? Your wife can't tear you apart? I'm going back to my mother's house. I won't spend it alone, so don't worry about it. I'll stay at home for a month after the New Year, waiting for your call.
, when your place is decorated, I will come over."
"That's okay. The decoration is quick. It can be completed in two months at most. It can be completed in mid-April. You have to come here in early April, and so do Huaqing and others." Lao Tan said.
"I don't care about work. No matter how you arrange it, I'll follow you anyway." After Wang Hong finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Go to bed early and drink that wine."
Lao Tan joked under the influence of wine: "Are you leaving? Don't you want to sleep with me?"
Wang Hong turned around and said with a smile: "You are only good at talking, how dare you really sleep with you?"
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Lao Tan said in his heart that he really didn't dare.
On the second day of the New Year, the sound of firecrackers rang out in the street early in the morning, and the smell of the New Year filled the air.
Lao Tan took out two hanging whips and five boxes of salute firecrackers, and asked Hua Qing and Sun Haicheng to set them in front of the hotel. Wang Hong and the pastry boy made dumplings. It was also the New Year, and everyone ate dumplings.
No guests came to the restaurant during the off-year period. At noon, the factory manager Gao reserved four tables to reward workers who worked overtime. In the afternoon, the factory's finance and warehouse management came over to take stock. After taking stock, Sister Yuan handed over to Director Zhang.
In the evening, all employees had a dinner together, and the business was closed for a holiday the next day, with employees going back to their homes.
Lao Tan drank too much yesterday and didn't sober up all day. He didn't want to drink at the dinner party in the evening. But everyone toasted with each other, so it would be bad if he didn't drink. Especially the kitchen brothers, they have been getting along well over the past six months and have feelings for each other. This
As soon as I left, I didn’t know when I would see you again, which made me feel a little sad, so I naturally drank more. There are many local employees who are Mongolian, and they can all drink, and there were more Lao Tan while drinking.
When Tuya Qiqige led the waiters to toast, he was already in a state of drunkenness. He drank it just like drinking water.
He was really drunk this time, and he didn't even know how he got back to the dormitory.
When I woke up the next morning, I saw myself lying on the bed, my head was buzzing, and I couldn't remember most of what happened last night.
I don’t know how I got back to the dormitory, but the scene stayed on the scene where the employees were dancing, singing, and toasting back and forth. It seemed that I also sang a song. Tuya gave me a hada and kissed herself, and then drank with Sister Yuan, and then
I can't think of anything after that.
If you drink this wine, it will break into pieces, which is embarrassing.
How did you come back? Did you walk up on your own or was carried on someone else's back? I have no impression at all.
I really need to drink less of this. If I drink too much, I won’t feel uncomfortable. I won’t even know what I say or do. Isn’t this a delay?
Looking at the time, it's past nine o'clock. Fortunately, I have the train at two o'clock in the afternoon, so I have time to pack things.
After a while, Wang Hong came in with porridge, steamed buns and pickles on a tray. Seeing that Lao Tan woke up, the two of them had a simple meal. After eating, Wang Hong helped Lao Tan pack his things, which was not much. He returned to his hometown for the first few days.
His mother brought most of them back when she celebrated her birthday, and now it's just a few changes of clothes and daily necessities. Yesterday, a friend brought a lot of gifts, but Lao Tan couldn't take that much, so he gave half of it to Wang Hong.
After cleaning up, nothing happened. Lao Tan still had a headache, so he was half-leaning on the bed and chatting with Wang Hong.
"Old Tan, you should train a few people to work with you. If not, just accept a few apprentices so that you can have people under you wherever you work from now on." Wang Hong said.
"I no longer accept my apprenticeship. Now I am still going around getting food. How can I take care of others? Besides, how many children are willing to learn to be a chef?" Lao Tan said.
"Then you have to train a few, you can't have none at your disposal."
"It's good to get along with everyone. We are brothers with shoulders and heads."
Wang Hong said: "That's fine. When the time comes, it's better to speak for yourself and do it sincerely. I think Hua Qing wants to become your disciple, and Sun Haicheng wants to do the same, but he just doesn't have the nerve to say it."
Lao Tan said: "Maybe after forty, just thirty-seven, so I won't accept it yet."
Wang Hong smiled and asked: "What? Is there an age limit for accepting apprentices?"
"That's not true. When a person reaches forty, his mind can calm down, he no longer does anything impulsively, and he thinks and does everything comprehensively. It's the right time to accept an apprentice, and he can't let others go by the wayside." Lao Tan said.
"You, you are a Taoist. If you are the first one to accept me, I will also accept you as your teacher." Wang Hong said.
"Old Tan does not accept female apprentices."
"Small sample, you have to accept it if you don't accept it. If you dare to throw me away and drive me away to your home."
The two of them didn't eat at noon, so they arrived at the train station after one o'clock, and got on the train back to the provincial capital at two o'clock.
