Chapter 212: Eating Melon in the Contemporary Literature (Twenty-four)
"Waiter! Is our braised pork ready?"
Lu Xinhua suddenly stood up and shouted to the waiter at the counter.
"Why are you shouting? Can't you see there are so many people in the restaurant? They've all ordered food and are waiting here."
The waiter replied unhappily.
She didn't say the answer, but the answer was obvious - not yet! Lu Xinhua was a little uncomfortable: What kind of attitude is this? She is a waiter, but she is more arrogant than a customer like me? Liu Dawei saw that Lu Xinhua's expression was not right. He was afraid that he would fight with the waiter again because of his youthful vigor, so he quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Huazi, don't worry! We are indeed late!"
The waiter was satisfied and proud to see Liu Dawei was so considerate.
Right, this is someone who knows the rules.
Unlike this big, stupid guy, who has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong stature, he is actually stupid.
And what was that look in his eyes when he looked at her? This was not the old society, and she was a waitress, not a lowly waiter or waiter.
The waiter had already made up his mind that even if the dishes ordered by the previous customer were already prepared, he would not serve them to this person.
You're so ignorant and stupid, and you still want to eat braised pork?
Just wait and see!
Only then did Lu Xinhua realize that this era was different from the later generations in which he lived.
Waiters also have a stable job, and because of material scarcity, they work in places where there is relatively more money, which makes them better off than ordinary workers.
For a while, restaurants would post slogans like this: No beating of customers without reason! Lu Xinhua: …
He should be thankful that he has not met someone with a bad temper and good hands-on skills.
otherwise--
However, Lu Xinhua also knows the evil of human nature.
In later times, when service attitude is very important, you should not offend hotel waiters easily.
Because you don’t know what the waiter added to your dish while serving it to you! People in this era may not be so mean, but they can openly “make things difficult” for you.
For example, you will be the last one served.
For example, after you waited for more than an hour and were almost starving, they told you that there was no more vegetables or meat because the chef had gone off duty! Lv Xinhua was very smart and could accurately detect the smug look in the waiter's eyes and mouth. He knew that the braised pork would not be ready for today.
But, it was just right! He had just stood up and asked for a purpose.
The conflict with the waiter made his behavior seem more reasonable.
Liu Dawei on the side was still persuading, "The chef in the kitchen is also busy, let's wait a little longer."
Hearing this, Lu Xinhua took over the conversation and said, "What are you busy with? Isn't there anything else to do?"
He pointed at Meng Yao, who was wearing an apron and sleeves and serving food, and said, "Little chef, are you from the kitchen? Can you cook?"
Meng Yao nodded, "Yes!"
She is so good at it.
It’s a pity that everyone in the restaurant excluded her and she couldn’t even touch the stove.
I want to go home and make it myself, but supplies are too scarce in this day and age.
Meng Yao did get the money and tickets back from Yu Xingwang, but these days you can't buy things just by having money and tickets.
Of course, you can go to the black market.
But, the black market is wrong, and Meng Yao is still a very law-abiding person at heart.
...A good cook cannot cook without rice.
Meng Yao has great cooking skills but no chance to show them off.
At this moment, a customer suddenly called her name because he had an argument with the waiter. Could she take this opportunity to show off? "Okay! Then let this young chef do it!"
Lu Xinhua is very arrogant.
The waiter was stunned at first, then sneered, "Who do you think you are? It's fine to order dishes, but you actually want to order the chef?"
"Also, Meng Yao is only an apprentice and has not yet graduated. According to the regulations, she cannot cook for customers!"
"You can do whatever you want outside the restaurant! But in the restaurant, you must abide by the hotel's rules!"
Lu Xinhua: …
The customers around also echoed, "Yes, yes! It's dinner time now, there are many people, we need to wait, so just wait a little longer."
"Young men are full of youthful vigor and cannot tolerate any injustice."
"Oh, this is not the old society anymore. You can do whatever you want just because you have a little money. You even want to order a chef? Haha, why don't you order a banquet?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lu Xinhua's face turned red instantly.
Liu Dawei was also very embarrassed. He pulled Lu Xinhua hard while nodding and smiling at the people around him.
The hope that had just appeared in Meng Yao's eyes was instantly extinguished.
She bit her lip, then left the lobby with the tray.
However, although she failed to fulfill her wish of cooking, Meng Yao still left an impression on Lu Xinhua who was willing to give her a chance.
Although this person is a little impulsive, he is kind, upright, and has a pure heart.
…
Gu Qingcheng started her official working days.
Every morning, she would take Qiao Qiao to the Yuhong class.
After dropping the child off, she reported to the porter team.
After taking roll call and making sure he didn't have any work to do today, he slipped off to the workshop to learn technical skills from Fang Yao.
That day, Gu Qingcheng had just arrived at the workshop and found that the atmosphere was not right.
"Why is it not up to standard?"
"Yes! We processed this using that equipment!"
"That equipment is state-of-the-art, how could it go wrong?"
Several masters from the machinery factory surrounded two or three people in military uniforms and talked non-stop.
"We don't know what equipment is or isn't, we just know that this set of precision parts is substandard!"
The person who spoke was a man in his forties, about 1.80 meters tall, with a slightly dark face and a strong body.
Mainly the look in his eyes, which was extremely sharp.
Even from a distance, one could seem to feel his aura.
This should be someone who has been to the battlefield and seen blood.
Such soldiers are the most direct and cannot be tactful.
Failure means failure.
Fang Yaozhong stood aside and did not rush to speak.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, he smiled and said, "I told you, machines are not omnipotent!"
When it comes to delicate work, we still have to rely on these experienced and skilled masters.
As the only eighth-level fitter in the machinery factory, Fang Yaozhong dares to say with confidence: My hands are more powerful than machines.
"Let me see it! It might be a little off in size!"
Fang Yaozhong was confident and reached out to take a component.
His hands were rough, yet very delicate.
The calloused fingertips gently feel the parts, measuring the size bit by bit.
Then he looked at the drawings and the relevant size requirements.
The smug look on his face suddenly disappeared - there was no deviation in the size! It was made exactly according to the requirements of the drawing.
This result is actually contrary to what Fang Yaozhong "thought".
However, Fang Yaozhong is a pragmatic technical talent.
One is one, two is two.
Qualified is qualified, unqualified is unqualified.
He would not deliberately lie for his own selfish reasons.
Fang Yaozhong raised his head and looked at the black-faced soldier, "The size is correct! It was processed according to your drawings!"
Even if there is a mistake, it should be the drawing.
After listening to Fang Yaozhong's words, the leaders of the machinery factory all felt more confident.
Director Feng couldn't help but mutter, "I told you, there will be no problem with this equipment!"
"The most advanced equipment produces the most precise parts."
The soldier, whose face was tanned by the sun, was unmoved. "The Liugong in our factory said that it is unqualified! Because it cannot be used!"
Size is a standard, but as a component, whether it can be used and whether it is suitable are the only standards.
The leader of the machinery factory: ...Isn't this a bit unreasonable? We produced it according to your drawings, and the dimensions are exactly the same, but you insist that it is "unqualified"? "Master Fang, can I take a look?"
Gu Qingcheng squeezed closer to Fang Yaozhong and asked in a low voice.
If it was any other apprentice, Fang Yaozhong would have scolded him long ago: You are an apprentice who hasn't even passed the first-level worker exam, why are you joining in the fun? But the person who squeezed in was Gu Qingcheng——
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yaozhong did not vent his anger on others, but he did not look happy either.
Without saying a word, he threw the parts to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng caught it steadily, and then began to caress it gently with her slender and tender fingertips.
She possesses the ninth-level machinist skill granted by the system, a skill that only exists in legends.
To exaggerate a little, Gu Qingcheng's hands could even feel the life of steel.
"There is indeed a size discrepancy! But it is very slight."
Gu Qingcheng rubbed it for a while and said confidently and firmly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at her——
Leaders: Who is this? When did a fitter with a big belly come to our factory?
Black-faced soldier: This female comrade is so pretty and looks so weak. She really doesn't look like a fitter.
Although Gu Qingcheng's words were in line with their own interests.
However, the black-faced soldier still instinctively questioned it.
The other master chefs had complicated expressions: This person seems to be Fang Yaozhong's apprentice.
What was he doing? Refuting his master in public and becoming famous by stepping on his master's head?
Fang Yaozhong's face turned black. What did Jianguo's wife want to do? Deliberately sabotage me? Fang Yaozhong didn't want Gu Qingcheng as an apprentice from the bottom of his heart, but he owed Qiao Jianguo's life, so he had to do it.
Just teach the technology. He cannot treat Gu Qingcheng like a normal apprentice.
Can't scold, can't give orders at will, can't keep secrets——
Damn, Fang Yaozhong is also a respected master craftsman in the machinery factory for his skills.
When have you ever been so frustrated? At this moment, Gu Qingcheng's performance completely angered Fang Yaozhong.
He no longer cared about Qiao Jianguo and sneered, "The size is off? Who are you? How many days have you only learned the technology?"
"Master Fang, I'm Gu Xiaoni, a worker in the handling team! I've been learning skills from you for seven days."
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to hear Fang Yaozhong's sarcasm, but answered seriously.
Fang Yaozhong became even angrier.
The people around laughed out loud.
A worker from the handling team, after learning for a week, ran to the eighth-level fitter and made a big fuss? PS: Ahem, the description of the "technology" involved in the article is all based on Baidu and the stupid author's YY.
