The back kitchen of the hotel didn't go to work until [-]:[-] noon, and Zhou Luo locked the door to go to work after cleaning up. When he locked the door, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to give Gao Yu the key to the room.

Looking at the two keys in his hand, he frowned and thought, Gao Yu is probably still taking the written test, so call him at lunch time.

Thinking of this, he took the elevator downstairs, left the community, and took the subway to report to the hotel.

When Manager Zhu took him into the back kitchen of the hotel and saw the spacious and well-equipped kitchen, Zhou Luo couldn't help feeling in his heart, a big hotel is a big hotel, even the kitchen is so good.

Manager Zhu arranged the position of Chef Zhou Luo according to what Jiang Yuanyuan said. When he introduced Zhou Luo to other chefs, it was obvious that the others were taken aback for a moment, and then their eyes were full of contempt, and some people had already started to envy. up.

Zhou Luo felt everyone's different gazes, and after Manager Zhu finished his introduction, he said, "Okay, Xiao Zhou, the eldest lady said that you don't need to do anything, so I don't have to ask other people to introduce you to the boss. The chef is working, then, that's it, you can arrange it freely, and don't delay everyone's business." After saying that, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.

All those who worked in the kitchen at the scene were undoubtedly not surprised by the words "no need to work", and looked at Zhou Luo with even more hostile eyes.

Zhou Luo regained his composure and chased after him: "Manager Zhu." He called Manager Zhu softly.

Manager Zhu stopped in his tracks and turned his head: "What else can I do?"

Zhou Luo stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I know how to cook, but I haven't reached the position where I can be a chef. Can you arrange for me to work as a back cook?"

Manager Zhu was stunned: "No, Xiao Zhou, this is specially arranged by the eldest lady. If I randomly arrange work for you, with the eldest lady's temper, I must be fired."

"Miss Jiang is a nice person, she won't do it."

"You are his friend, of course I feel..." Manager Zhu lowered his voice and coughed: "You, just do what the young lady wants with peace of mind."

"But……"

"Don't worry about it." Manager Zhu interrupted him a little impatiently: "I still have things to do." After taking two steps, he said: "If it really doesn't work, you can find something to do by yourself, anyway, the kitchen has to be busy. There’s more, that’s all, that’s all.”

Zhou Luo looked at the figure of Manager Zhu walking away, and obviously felt that he was a little perfunctory to himself. He thought, if it wasn't for the face of that Miss Jiang, maybe Manager Zhu wouldn't use him at all.

The so-called workplace is like a battlefield, and this small kitchen is full of gunpowder. From the moment Zhou Luo entered the kitchen, almost everyone was observing him intentionally or unintentionally, feeling the gazes from colleagues around him. Zhou Luo was always tense. Nervous, he knew how much he weighed, so he naturally didn't dare to take the position of a big chef, so he helped to do what he could.

Zhou Luo really wanted to help, never thought that he just helped to wash the vegetables, and heard that person say: "Hey, don't, this washing vegetables is not what a chef should do." take away.

Zhou Luo's hand stopped in the air, embarrassed and at a loss.

After a while, he saw that the pastry chef needed help, so he hurried over to help, but he didn't expect that he didn't need him.

Zhou Luo said cautiously: "Master, I will meet with you."

But the master shook his head: "I said you were arranged by the eldest lady. I dare not use it. If the eldest lady finds out later, I will be miserable."

Zhou Luo frowned, no one would ask him to help, he was very embarrassed standing there stupidly, and it also delayed the walk of the waiter who came to serve the food.

After a while, Zhou Luo saw that the cooking chef was too busy to help him, but the chef didn't refuse, but asked lightly: "Will you?"

"Yes." Zhou Luo said honestly, "I used to work as a kitchen assistant in a restaurant, so I know all the basics."

"Yeah." The man was cooking, and ordered: "Go and cut off the beef tongue over there."

Zhou Luo responded and went to the chopping board to cut the beef tongue. The man looked at Zhou Luo and didn't say a word during cooking, but when Zhou Luo finished cutting the beef tongue, he poured it out without hesitation. The reason is that the cut is too thick and not neat, so it is impossible to cook for guests.

This made Zhou Luo's face hot, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Someone said: "Hey, you just stay on the sidelines."

"That's right, you're a friend of the young lady, so you're not doing these jobs." Another echoed.

Zhou Luo frowned and explained: "I'm not Miss Jiang's friend, but because of something, Miss Jiang kindly asked me to work here."

As soon as he said this, the man who picked and washed vegetables just now called Zhou Luo to let him go over to help.

Zhou Luo went obediently, and then helped knead the noodles, chopped meat, and cleaned the chopping board and stove...

Just doing these odd jobs for a whole afternoon, Zhou Luo was very tired.

It was only at noon that I was relieved, thinking that I could finally rest, Zhou Luo sat in an inconspicuous corner with a tray, and was eating with his head down, when suddenly a voice sounded in his ear: "Hey, let's get to know each other." , I am Guo Bin."

Zhou Luo was stunned, then politely replied: "Zhou Luo."

Guo Bin sat in front of Zhou Luo: "I also just applied for the job today."

"Oh." Zhou Luo glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to eat his meal.

"..." Guo Bin was stunned, pointing to the dishes on his tray and said, "Hey, why do you only eat rice and not vegetables?"

Zhou Luo paused while eating rice, looked up at him and said, "No, no appetite."

"No appetite?" Guo Bin was at a loss: "To be honest, I think the meals provided by our hotel are delicious. How could you have no appetite?"

Zhou Luo pursed the corner of her lips: "I, I'm not very hungry."

Guo Bin looked at the untouched chicken legs on his tray, and said with a smile, "Well, Zhou Luo, if you're not hungry, the chicken legs..."

Zhou Luo immediately understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile: "You eat, I didn't move."

Guo Bin held the chicken leg with a smile: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Guo Bin said while eating: "I'm greedy, I like meat, chicken, beef and mutton, I can't refuse anyone, so I found a job in the kitchen." After finishing speaking, he had a good time.

Zhou Luo followed with a smile.

"However, I not only love to eat, but also to cook." Guo Bin said in a low voice: "Hey, do you know who is the best cook in our entire back kitchen?"

Zhou Luo shook his head.

"The one who asked you to cut the beef tongue today." Guo Bin glanced around, then continued to lower his voice and said, "His name is Cheng Gang, and he is a famous weirdo, but he is an excellent cook. Can cook, and has his own unique taste, especially Cantonese cuisine is the best, which is impossible for ordinary people to learn. He is a chef hired by our hotel owner with a high salary, so it is inevitable that he has a weird temper, and what is even more strange is him. Ah, no apprentices, how many people wanted to be apprentices under him, but he refused all of them, that kind of arrogance really makes people shy away."

Zhou Luo let out a dumbfounded "Oh".

Guo Bin said again: "I came to him as an apprentice."

"Didn't you say that he doesn't accept apprentices?" Zhou Luo didn't understand.

Guo Bin nodded: "No, but I heard that I have accepted apprentices before, because I was betrayed by my apprentices and I couldn't work in Shanghai, so I came here to Beijing, so I don't plan to accept apprentices anymore, but Think about it, he really doesn't want to accept his skills, that is to say, in the future, he will definitely have to accept apprentices."

Zhou Luo nodded after hearing this, and said, "Then you go on."

Guo Bin chuckled: "Thank you." After a while: "What about you?"

"Me?" Zhou Luo froze for a moment, and said honestly, "I just have a job to make ends meet."

Guo Bin suddenly approached him and took a closer look: "You don't look very old, how old are you?"

"Ah?" Zhou Luo paused, "23."

Guo Bin was slightly surprised: "It's older than me, it looks much younger than me." He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "I'm 21, and I'm a bit mature."

Zhou Luo also smiled and shook his head: "Not mature." He thought to himself, 21, the same age as Gao Yu.

Guo Bin said with emotion: "At our age, I'm usually still a student. Because I didn't study well, I studied in a vocational college for two years, but I didn't find any good job. I wanted to be a chef when I was in school. So, I I've been working in the back kitchen for the past two years." Said, squinting at Zhou Luo: "What about you?"

Zhou Luo blinked his bright eyes, and said in a low voice, "I, I am similar." He didn't tell the truth, and felt that it was better for fewer people to know about him and Gao Yu.

Hearing this, Guo Bin was excited, and stretched out his hand: "Zhou Luo, let's make friends from now on."

Zhou Luo looked at Guo Bin's hand and shook it with him: "Okay."

Guo Bin smiled and finished his meal. He said, "Let's go back to the dormitory to rest. We don't go to work until four o'clock in the afternoon." Then he asked, "By the way, which staff dormitory do you live in? Why am I not in the dormitory of the back kitchen? See you?"

"I don't live in a dormitory."

Guo Bin frowned: "Then where do you live? The dormitory for the food delivery staff or other staff dormitories?"

Zhou Luo shook his head, and said honestly, "I live outside and rent a house with my friends."

Hearing this, Guo Bin was surprised: "Okay." He sighed and said, "I can't afford to rent a house for the time being."

Zhou Luo didn't speak anymore, stood up together with Guo Bin, and sent the tray to the tray collection place at the door of the kitchen, Guo Bin said, "Look at what a waste you are, you didn't move much for these four dishes and one soup."

Zhou Luo also felt that it was a waste, but he really couldn't eat it, and always felt like retching.

After leaving the kitchen, Guo Bin said again: "Eat more, you are too thin. Besides, in the future, your work will not be easy. Can you bear it if you don't eat?"

Zhou Luo didn't seem to understand what he said. Seeing his stupid look, Guo Bin frowned and said in a low voice, "Didn't you see that those people are ordering you on purpose today? They saw you like this at first." As soon as you came in at a young age, the chef was jealous of you, but since you are a friend of Miss Jiang’s, no one dared to say anything, but you said you were not a friend, so they got excited and tried to manipulate you. tm wicked!"

Zhou Luo froze for a moment, frowned and remained silent.

Guo Bin put his arms around his shoulders: "I told you not to be so honest in the future, anyway, Manager Zhu didn't tell you to do it."

Zhou Luo smiled slightly: "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, and besides, I can't get paid for nothing."

Guo Bin clicked his tongue: "You're stupid, that's picking vegetables, washing vegetables, serving dishes, and loading lotus, aren't you tired?"

Zhou Luo smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, as long as I don't let me go to the water platform, I'm afraid of killing chickens and fish."

Guo Bin was speechless, so he could only say: "You, you are so stupid!"

Seeing his concerned expression, Zhou Luo was very grateful and said, "Guo Bin, thank you."

Guo Bin stabbed and said: "We are friends, thank you so much." After a pause: "I have to go this way, this is the way to the staff dormitory."

"Okay, bye then."

Guo Bin walked towards the staff dormitory, and did not forget to remind Zhou Luo: "Go to work at four o'clock in the afternoon, don't be late, or your wages will be deducted."

"Yeah." Zhou Luo nodded.

Seeing Guo Bin's back as he walked further and further away, Zhou Luo was a little happy. He met new friends on the first day of work and was cared about. It's not a bad feeling.
