Chapter 39: The First Day of Work at the State-Owned Hotel
"What? When are you going to the state-owned restaurant in town?" The captain stared at her.
Is this a joke?
Who is Lin Xiuzhen?
She is on the list of the most shrewish people in the village, but she ends up being like this. Do you think she can work as a worker in a state-owned restaurant?
It feels like a fairy tale.
"Yes, I have just completed the formalities. Please take a look. I will trouble the captain to issue me a certificate when the time comes. As for the work in the fields, my son and second daughter will go to work in the fields later."
Lin Xiuzhen explained.
They can't let people think that their family is lazy and only care about food. Even if they go to work, they should be low-key and still do the work in the fields.
"OK."
Li Guosheng kept his eyes on the words above, and after confirming that it was a stamp from the supply and marketing cooperative, he was completely shocked.
He really went there to work as a worker.
"Okay, I'll do it for you."
After Li Guosheng finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiuzhen and asked, "Why did you suddenly go to work at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
How can I not be curious?
You are already old, can you still be a worker?
"It was a bit sudden and it was also a coincidence. I just happened to make a few dishes and my boss liked them, so I went to work there."
"Oh? Is it that simple?"
Li Guosheng obviously didn't believe it. Is this as simple as drinking water?
If it were really that simple, then everyone in the village could be a worker, right?
"Yes, that's true. I'm just lucky." Lin Xiuzhen said embarrassedly.
"Haha~ Really?"
In the end, the captain completed the formalities, but when Lin Xiuzhen left, she asked the captain to keep it a secret.
"I'd like to trouble the captain to keep this a secret for me. With so many things happening at home, I want to keep a low profile."
"OK."
The captain was a little uncomfortable seeing Lin Xiuzhen being so polite.
When did this person become so polite to me?
Before, he would either curse people or their ancestors, so it’s a bit strange to hear him being so polite.
The next day, Lin Xiuzhen got up early.
Because she is old, Manager Yang asked her to work in the morning. As her home is quite far away, she can go home at three or four in the afternoon. This way she doesn't have to go home in the dark. At her age, she is also worried about the safety of the road.
After having breakfast and taking care of things at home, Lin Xiuzhen packed her bag and prepared to go out.
"Take good care of your elder sister and the family. Remember to let Gu Jiabao go to work in the fields. Don't let him sit idle. If you have any problems, come to the state-owned restaurant to find me."
He said the latter sentence in a low voice, and then went out full of energy.
It’s good in this era. Go to bed early and get up early, do some exercise in the morning, and you will feel a lot lighter.
So I was particularly energetic in the morning, but walking to work did make me a little tired.
Fortunately, halfway through the journey, I saw a ox cart going to town, and I was able to get a ride.
After much hassle, we finally arrived before the state-owned restaurant opened, and it was only six o'clock.
Lin Xiuzhen felt that she still needed a bicycle.
But this is not something I can think of right now.
When they arrived at the kitchen, they had to do their work and clean up first, and then the chefs prepared breakfast there.
Zhao Gang arrived early. By now the buns were already in the pot. There were only some miscellaneous tasks left, which were handed over to Lin Xiuzhen.
There are quite a few people coming here to eat breakfast in the morning. Many people don’t make breakfast at home, so they come here to buy buns or something like that.
When Lin Xiuzhen was busy, she forgot about time.
After breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock.
After that, we will start preparing lunch.
Since Lin Xiuzhen is here today, I plan to do something special.
So, Lin Xiuzhen prepared boiled pork slices, which only required preparing the base of the pot with sesame oil.
When it’s time for lunch at noon, you can just cook the meat slices as they have been marinated in advance.
This is quite convenient to do.
Several people ate in the kitchen before the meal started.
Li Xiaomei actually looked down on Lin Xiuzhen a little. After all, she was just a country aunt who could only cook a few dishes, which was nothing special.
But after eating what Lin Xiuzhen made at noon, I was immediately amazed.
His attitude towards Lin Xiuzhen became different.
I thought it was just luck before, but now it seems that there is something to it.
The meat this time was very tender and she couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice at noon.
It really goes well with rice.
Others also expressed their likes.
This is really hard for the neighbors around.
As soon as noon comes, the smell spreads out.
Then everyone couldn't help but sniff.
The taste is really overbearing.
Same as yesterday.
"Have you heard? The state-owned restaurant seems to have hired a new chef who can cook Sichuan cuisine. We can go and try it out when the time comes."
"Oh~ I can tell right away just by smelling this scent. It smells so good. How about we not wait until another day? Today is my payday, so why not go take a look?"
There were quite a few people discussing this, and today was indeed the day when everyone got their salary.
As a result, people were already queuing up at the door of the state-owned restaurant before it even opened for business.
Everyone thought that this state-owned restaurant had some free goodies, and quite a few people actually lined up.
When Li Xiaomei opened the door, she saw a long queue at the entrance.
"Is everyone here for dinner?"
Why are there so many people today?
"Isn't there something free here?"
"Go away, nothing is free from state-owned goods. You should go home early. This is a state-owned enterprise. If you want to eat, please go inside. We have new boiled pork slices today. If you like spicy food, you can go inside and take a look."
After Li Xiaomei finished speaking, some people left because they had nothing to eat, but some people saw that there were really new dishes and brought a few or three of their friends in.
Just for the taste, it's definitely good.
After a short while, the restaurant was full and almost every table ordered boiled pork slices.
Soon, the kitchen started to get busy.
This job is basically done by Lin Xiuzhen,
Zhao Gang was watching nearby.
Lin Xiuzhen was quite open and didn't hide anything from anyone during the cooking process.
Anyway, this doesn’t really require any technical skills, so just watch it.
It’s not a big deal.
Lin Xiuzhen's generosity actually made Zhao Gang like her more.
At noon, pots of boiled fish were served out.
Lin Xiuzhen was also exhausted and sweating. Not everyone can do this kitchen work.
It’s not summer yet, but the kitchen is already like this. I can’t imagine what the kitchen will be like when summer comes.
It seems that I still need to move up in the future. If there is an opportunity, I can become a manager by then.
She just needs to give a few pointers and it's not a lot of work. This kind of work is more suitable for her as she is almost 50 years old.
Lin Xiuzhen felt more motivated as she thought about this.
