Reborn Sells Instant Noodles In America

Some people say that New York is the most prosperous metropolis, some people say that New York is the most splendid capital of wealth, some people say that New York is heaven, and some people say that it is hell.

But for Lin Guodong, who has been smuggled into the United States for more than two years, and has been working in the back kitchen with no windows for two years every day,

New York is just a habitat.

When you are close, you will be anxious, and when you are far away, you will miss. A place where people who stay in other states are going crazy and come back for a day, and send their hard-earned money back to their relatives in China in time.

As we all know, most of the old Americans are not good at cooking, so in the vast land of the United States, there are countless Chinese restaurants. As long as there are people living there, there will be one or several Chinese restaurants nearby, as small as a take-out shop with only husband and wife partners. There are buffet stores with a dozen or 20 employees, and then there are elegant decorations and similar styles. Japanese food stores with similar menus, Chinese food in Chinatown, etc. It is said that there are at least 50,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States.

In a Pennsylvania town about two hours away from New York, there are several large-scale restaurants around the Walmart shopping mall, including Laomei's favorite burgers, fries and pizza, as well as Mexican-style barbecue restaurants, Lin Guodong This Chinese-run Japanese food store, who is working as a part-time worker, is among these restaurants, but it is indeed the most popular one.

This RB restaurant called Sakura is very lively. It is also the best day of the week for restaurant business. The iron plate masters perform amusing little jugglers on the iron plate in the hall, and they are neat in the steaming hot. A delicious teppanyaki is being made clanging on the teppanyaki table.

The table top of the iron plate is about less than two meters in length and less than one meter in width. The whole iron plate is burned black and bright through the gas stove. Salmon, shrimp and lobster, etc. are fried and fried on a hot plate with some vegetarian dishes.

During the cooking interval, the chefs took out the watering cans filled with the cheapest RB rice wine and sprayed them a few times on the group of old beauties, especially those old beauties who liked to drink free wine He couldn't close his mouth with joy, even though he was sprinkled with rice wine and sprayed his face, he still clamored to come back again. The scene was very funny and enthusiastic.

This RB restaurant covers an area of ​​about 5,000 feet. In addition to the most lively teppanyaki area, there is also a bar area where a sushi bar and a bar are connected, and a twenty-odd table for people who don't like the bustle. , a relatively quiet dining area, just like other ordinary restaurants, meals in this area need to be served in the kitchen at the back.

Just like the heat in the front hall, the kitchen in the back is busy every weekend. Because of the good business, there are often five or six, or even seven or eight dinners coming in at the same time, and the two busy ones are dedicated to cooking. The master of teppanyaki frequently scolded people.

"X's, how did you get the orders from the counters (waiters)! Seven or eight meals came in at the same time, how could it be so fast!" Don't miss a moment. Occasionally, one person is required to do the complicated and time-consuming opening and setting.

"Ah? Xiaolin, fry some more shrimp, there's not enough fried shrimp in front." The chef at the sushi bar in front shouted loudly from the small window.

"Okay! How many do you want?"

"Come for forty first!"

"Okay, come right now!" Having said that, Lin Guodong threw the half-cooked prawns into the frying pan, sizzling again, and frying again.

"Xiao Lin, is a shrimp sweet or spicy! A dish is sweet and not spicy, and a chicken is sweet and not spicy." The sizzling chef looked at the list he just called in, and picked out the meals that belonged to Lin Guodong and ordered them.

"Okay!" Lin Guodong replied immediately.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" After beating and beating, he quickly prepared the recipe for the next order, and then raised his hand to get the first order that was printed out.

"Master, are the shrimps at table 5 sweet and spicy?" One stood up and walked in and shouted loudly.

"Shouting Mao! You dare to urge so many to come in together, who urges you to do it yourself!" The master chef in this kind of restaurant is the best, and he dares to scold anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, and even the boss comes in with him. The master is polite.

"Xiao Lin, you have to steam another pot of rice! There's not enough rice!" The second chef, Fu, took out the rice from the rice cooker and fry it, carefully looking at the four wok pans that were operating at the same time and shouted.

"Okay, come right now!" Lin Guodong replied loudly as he quickly rolled the shrimp in the frying pan.

In addition to the teppanyaki, most of the guests will order a few plates of sushi rolls as a starter, or some people who do not eat teppanyaki but like to be lively will also order some sushi as the main course, and there are also many customers who come to eat sushi specially. Therefore, the sushi bar in front of me is not idle for a moment on such a busy weekend. It is normal to make seven or eight pots of rice in one night, and Lin Guodong, the oil pot master, has to be responsible for steaming rice in addition to frying.

The only six waiters in the store were busy flying up. They were busy taking orders and drinks, serving drinks, and then running to the kitchen to serve soup and salad. The huge trays in their hands were most of the time. You can hold 8 cups of drinks at one time; 9 soup bowls, and some more in the other hand, in short, you can almost get a whole table of guests in one visit.

In this way, the feet and hands are busy all night, and when they finish work, everyone is tired, backache, backache, leg cramps, and some girls who have just started a table (waiter) will hide in the toilet secretly. wipe away tears.

Most of the people who work in this kind of restaurant are from America like Lin Guodong. uukanshu.com These people haven't even had time to see what a big city like New York looks like, so they have to go to the Chinese restaurants in the American states to work undercover. In order to pay off their debts, no matter how hard they are, they can only work hard. Keep at it, because that's the path they choose!

Without a solid cultural foundation, you have to endure hardships and afflictions wherever you go. This is the most profound experience of Lin Guodong in the past two years when he arrived in the United States.

Lin Guodong still remembers that after his parents pieced together the first down payment, he was arranged by the snakehead to fly to Mexico with a group of people in the summer of two years ago, and then to the US-Mexico border. After five days and four nights of climbing, I finally stepped into the border of America!

When someone informed them that they had successfully crossed the border, the exhausted Lin Guodong was so excited that Pigu almost sat on the ground, but the leader told them that the danger was not over yet, so cheer up and persist if you persist. to a safe place,

So all the people who climbed over were loaded into a minibus like piglets, dragged and dangled for dozens of hours before they reached New York, the so-called most prosperous metropolis in the world! From then on, his ant-like black worker career began!

2013, July 22 at 3:00 a.m. New York time.

Lin Guodong stood beside the guardrail of the Brooklyn Bridge, seeing the lights of the Seventeen Piers in the distance shining like stars, the brocade-like sea water, and the brightly lit Empire State Building in the distance, all made him feel a little dreamlike and unreal.

It's been a day, and he hasn't eaten a bite of food because the small hotel he stayed in was stolen last night. This time, he saved all the money he had saved for three months to send to his parents and return it to Snakehead.
