Chapter 189 Xu Chao
"Master Liu."
Seeing Liu Wentao packing up to leave, Zhao Yi stopped Liu Wentao.
Liu Wentao was suddenly embarrassed and a little worried. Could it be that Zhao Yi was feeling unhappy because he had packed some dishes today? But every time he helped in the kitchen to prepare a banquet, every family would let him pack some dishes to take home.
However, the dishes at Zhao Yi's banquet were rather heavy, and the portion he brought was full of meat dishes.
The two apprentices brought half vegetarian dishes and half meat dishes.
This is also an unwritten rule for kitchen helpers. If the chef is not here to eat, you have to pack up and take it home.
"Comrade Zhao, is there anything else?"
Liu Wentao looked at Zhao Yi awkwardly.
In fact, Zhao Yi saw him packing the dishes, but he only gave the other party dishes for twenty tables. The other party left some for himself when he served the food, so Zhao Yi didn't want to care about this.
After all, that's what a job like helping in the kitchen is like.
"It's like this. I think you guys are doing a good job, so I want to discuss something with you. In the future, when there are banquets here, I'll ask you to come over and help. We'll set the salary based on the number of tables. If there are more than ten tables, we'll pay today's price. If there are less than ten tables, we'll pay three dollars. How about that?"
Zhao Yi looked at Liu Wentao and said.
"Thank you very much for your help, Comrade Zhao."
Liu Wentao nodded and agreed.
"Do you have time in five days? I have received another full-moon banquet for ten tables. The dishes will be the same as today. You can also pack some to take home."
Zhao Yi smiled.
In fact, Zhao Yi knew that Liu Wentao and his wife had a heavy burden as they had to support two families. Hong Mei's former parents-in-law now lived with Liu Wentao and his family, and the whole family had dinner together every day.
Although both husband and wife have salaries, it is still true that the teenagers are eating their father out of money. Especially since the children of Hong Mei's ex-husband are now in their teens and growing up, and their appetite is even greater than that of a strong laborer.
The rations that were subsidized were not enough at all. Every month Liu Wentao had to go to the black market to buy more food to bring home.
"Okay, then we have a deal."
Liu Wentao nodded with a smile.
The stir-fried pork with green peppers that I packed today doesn’t have many green peppers in it, it’s full of meat, so my family can have a satisfying meal.
Liu Wentao pushed his bicycle towards home.
As soon as I entered the door, a group of children surrounded me.
"Dad brought back some delicious food today."
Everyone in the family knew that Liu Wentao went to help in the kitchen today. Every time he came back from helping in the kitchen, he would have delicious food, and sometimes even a bag of melon seeds.
Liu Wentao handed the lunch box to a boy with a smile, and everyone hurried to the dining table.
A dish like this can be finished with just one chopstick per person.
As soon as the lunch box was opened, everyone started drooling, it was full of meat.
He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for each of the two elderly people, and a young girl picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for Hong Mei and Liu Wentao, and then the scramble for food began.
"How much is a table like this?"
Hong Mei looked at Liu Wentao curiously and asked.
"How would I know? I'll just do it. By the way, this is today's salary for helping in the kitchen. Zhao Yi is pretty good. He didn't say much when he saw me packing so much meat. I feel a little embarrassed."
Liu Wentao was a little embarrassed.
In fact, he didn't want to pack so much, but there were many people in his family, and one chopstick per person would be gone. He still subtracted one chopstick's portion from each table and finally saved up enough for three people. The two apprentices were more sensible and packed half of the vegetarian dishes and left the extra meat for him.
"Don't do this if the head of the family asks you to do it again. It's not nice."
Hong Mei still said.
"Got it. Next time I will only pack half vegetarian and half meat. Zhao Yi said there will be a banquet in five days. Ask me to help in the kitchen when there is a banquet next time."
Liu Wentao was very satisfied that Zhao Yi affirmed his cooking skills.
It's rare to hire a chef from the neighborhood, and basically only one family will hire him every few months. But it seems that there will be more and more people hiring chefs from the department store in the future. Although he was busy in the kitchen today, he saw many people who had eaten at the banquet gathered around Zhao Yi to ask about him.
early morning.
Zhao Yi, Zhang Jing and Zhao Yan came to the garment factory.
Zhao Yan and Zhang Jing went directly to the workshop, while Zhao Yi went to the maintenance department office alone.
At this time, Xu Chao had already cleaned the place and made a cup of tea for Zhao Yi.
"I'll be watching you repair it from today. You've disassembled and reassembled the sewing machine countless times, so you should know what parts it has."
Zhao Yi said after taking a sip of tea. ,
"Master, I may not be able to do it yet."
Xu Chao said timidly.
"You won't know if it works until you try it yourself. You can't possibly follow me for the rest of your life without preparing to become my apprentice. By the way, let me tell you something. If the people from the maintenance department come back and ask about it, don't say you're my apprentice, or they might punish you."
Zhao Yi looked at Xu Chao and said.
Xu Chao didn't take it seriously when he heard this. To punish himself?
My own aunt is the director of the General Office, and my uncle is the chief of the Security Department. It's a good thing if I don't bully others.
It was just because the factory was full and there were no vacancies. Now all the people in the factory maintenance department went for further training. If it weren't for my aunt, uncle and the factory director's suggestion, I would not have had the opportunity to be an apprentice.
If you have no ability or skills, just accept it when others bully you. But if you have learned from a master, and someone still wants to bully you, you can tell that you are not made of clay.
However, he still respects his master Xu Chao very much, and his master really teaches him skills.
"Got it, Master."
Xu Chao nodded obediently.
The two had just talked for a few words when a worker from workshop two came over to repair the machinery.
Xu Chao followed Zhao Yi with tools in his hand to the workshop. The workshop was full of female workers. Only the maintenance department, security department, logistics department, canteen and warehouse were staffed by male workers.
So the maintenance department office is not next to the workshop.
They were all afraid that the old ladies would spread the gossip in the workshop, so they would chat behind their backs.
As soon as he entered the workshop, Zhao Yi stood aside and let Xu Chao do it himself.
"I have talked about this issue. Now I will see how you perform."
Zhao Yi held the teacup and looked at Xu Chao with a smile.
Xu Chao took out the tools without further ado and started repairing the machine. It didn't take long for him to fix it. He was immediately extremely excited and looked at Zhao Yi with a smile.
"I told you that you are capable, but you are still modest. When you have nothing to do, just find some spare parts and fix those two sewing machines that you have disassembled countless times. That will be your accomplishment. I still have a lot of things to do at the department store."
Zhao Yi smiled.
Xu Chao muttered to himself, the reclining chairs in the department store are comfortable, it would be better for you to go back and lie on the rocking chair.
Since becoming his apprentice, Xu Chao would follow Zhao Yi to the department store after get off work every day. Whenever he saw Zhao Yi busy with something, he would take the initiative to help. He had never seen his master repairing home appliances.
Now the home appliances sold in the department store are delivered to the other three cities.
Xu Chao started looking for new parts in the maintenance department's warehouse, and then went to the sundry warehouse with the new parts. There was nothing to do in the workshop all morning. When it was almost time to get off work, Xu Chao ran over with a smile on his face.
"Master, I have repaired those two sewing machines."
"Why are you so happy? Do you want me to give you a little red flower as a reward?"
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes at Xu Chao, glanced at the clock on the wall, stood up and walked towards the door.
