The world's first village

Chapter 193 A Chef's Future
At night, Zi Lanhai hurried to catch the last subway.

There were not many people on the last subway, and Zi Lanhai was able to grab a seat.

Zi Lanhai leaned back on the chair, let her exhausted body relax, and squinted her eyes at the same time.After a busy day, nearly twelve hours of high-intensity work, he was exhausted.

Zi Lanhai is 24 years old this year. She is a chef at a food stall in Tianhe District, Suicheng. To be precise, she is a sashimi master, a high-level fish processor.

People in Suicheng like to live overnight. He didn't get off work until after ten o'clock in the evening. He dragged his exhausted body and ran for a kilometer. Fortunately, he caught the last subway.

He lives in a village in the city, far away from his work place. He needs to take the subway for half an hour and walk for another 10 minutes to rent a house.

On the subway, most of the passengers were talking about the SS company, especially in the past two days, when he was at work, he heard a lot, but he was really busy and didn't have time to look at his phone.

"SS company is recruiting chefs. NND needs [-] chefs. There are so many. I heard that they are specially prepared for the snack city."

"Well, the salary must be very good. The minimum salary is [-], which is covered, but the requirements must be very high. You must have many years of experience as a chef. If I can, I will definitely sign up."

"There are other incomes besides wages, profits are shared as dividends, and houses are also shared. The building is under construction. It is said that there is at least one room and one living room."

"Well, the treatment is better than that of ordinary blue-collar workers, but it is mainly from SS company. I believe SS company will not treat its employees badly. I am also thinking, what kind of job do they recruit for me? A chef is a technical job, and I will not "Haha, cleanliness is good, as long as you have physical strength, you just don't know if you need it."

Zi Lanhai listened to the chatting of the passengers next to him, and when he heard the attraction, his eyes suddenly brightened.

A minimum wage of 5000 yuan?Still covered, at least one bedroom and one living room? !

The remuneration is really good, and it's still from SS company, and the salary doesn't include the store's profit dividend, even if it's [-]%, it should be a lot.

Zi Lanhai turned on his mobile phone to check the news of SS Company. After about 10 minutes, he finally understood the various requirements and treatment of chefs recruited by SS Company. He couldn't calm down for a long time. that good life.

Compared with his current job, the monthly salary is 3500, including food and housing. In order to save money, he lives very far away. It is still a narrow dormitory, less than ten square meters.

Zi Lanhai usually doesn’t spend much, and can save two to three thousand yuan a month. After working for several years, he has saved nearly 10 yuan. He plans to save more, build a house in his hometown village, and marry a wife to live a small life .

Zi Lanhai's hometown is a small village in Guizhou Province, a very poor and remote village. A few years ago, he followed the introduction of the people in the village and came to Suicheng to work. The job at the beginning was very simple. Kill fish in stalls.

At the beginning, he was not very good at killing fish. This job seemed simple, but it was not easy. He was often stabbed by fish fins, and sometimes accidentally scratched by a knife. The palms and backs of his hands were covered with scars. Sometimes the wound is inflamed, especially in winter, and the wound is very piercing after soaking in water.

After working for a year, Zi Lanhai has killed countless fish and cleaned up their internal organs. The efficiency is many times higher, and she rarely gets stabbed by fish fins.

So, the stall owner asked him to start a real fish knife.

This place in Suicheng is very passionate about sashimi.

What is sashimi?It is estimated that many people do not know.

Sashimi, also known as "sashimi", is a dish in which fresh fish and shellfish are cut into slices and eaten directly with seasoning.

Commonly used sashimi are tuna, salmon (salmon), snapper, flounder, skipjack, capers, yellowtail, trevally, perch, mullet, etc.; there are also freshwater fish such as carp, crucian carp, and grass carp.

However, due to price reasons, citizens mostly choose freshwater fish as the raw fish for sashimi.

Since it is sashimi, the fish must be carefully selected.

When choosing fish, you must choose lively fish. It is best to choose fish from farms with good water sources. For example, ponds backed by mountains are the best, followed by large reservoirs, and free-range fish that do not feed.

Among freshwater fish, grass carp is the best choice for sashimi.Because of the living environment of grass carp, the food is mostly aquatic plants and the like, which is not complicated.

Sashimi is very complicated to make, and it is very particular about the beauty of fish.Although it is prone to parasites, people do not give up this delicacy because of its unique taste.

The fish must be bled, and then the gills and scales are removed to dig out the internal organs. The fish meat is naturally selected from both sides of the fish's spine, and the knife is inserted from the tail to the upper body a few centimeters, and the back of the knife is pushed along the spine toward the head of the fish until At the head of the fish, cut off the fish meat on one side, and cut out the other side of the fish in this way.

The next step is to pay more attention to knife skills, removing fish bones.

In addition to the fish bones, if the knife is poor, the fish pieces will be uneven and there will be less fish meat.

The normal method should be that the edge of the knife enters the knife from the thick meat, next to the fish ribs, the back of the knife must be flat and oblique to the fish ribs, not perpendicular to the fish ribs, otherwise the fish ribs will be cut off, the back of the knife is slightly inclined, and slowly remove Take out the fish ribs.

Of course, the fish skin must be removed, which is also quite difficult to handle.If it is not done well, the fish will be broken, especially if the fish is small, there will be little fish, and the fish will be too tender and easy to rot.

To remove the fish skin, of course, tear it from the thickest part of the fish skin, and you can only tear it slowly, pull it to the thin part of the fish skin, and scratch it with the knife edge, so that the fish skin is not easy to tear.

After pulling out the fish skin, you need to wrap the fish meat with a clean handkerchief or paper, mainly to absorb excess water in the fish meat and keep the taste. After wrapping it, you can put it in the freezer to keep it fresh.

There are a lot of seasonings for sashimi, and everyone has different hobbies, so the choice is different.

But in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, they prefer ginger, coriander, green onions, mustard, shredded radish, and even drink high-grade liquor to sterilize and remove fishy smell.

Generally, the taste of shredded is better than chopped into puree. On a clean and water-free chopping board, shred the condiment, and the knife must use a thin knife, otherwise it will be difficult to shred.

There are also other condiments, such as peanut oil, sauce vinegar (brewed), sesame seeds, fried peanuts, shredded kohlrabi, garlic, etc.

Of course, the last process that pays attention to knife skills is the final process. The sashimi must be sliced ​​thinly. The thinner the fish, the better the taste. The fillets are gone.

Each piece of raw fish is mixed with other ingredients, and it tastes so delicious that it feels like you are not eating fish. It seems that you are swimming in the sea of ​​fragrances, which is refreshing and fascinating.

Of course, Zi Lanhai can make sashimi, and he does it quite well, with extremely fine knife skills. This is what he has worked hard for many years, but the salary the boss pays him is really not high.

Zi Lanhai returned to the rented house, and looked at the bedroom, which was less than ten square meters, with a small bed and a desk, so she couldn't put down other furniture.The bathroom is shared, which is very inconvenient.

In urban villages, many landlords built them like this, especially in summer, because the buildings in urban villages are too close together, there is no way to ventilate, living in the house feels like being steamed by a stove, and air conditioning is not much better.

Zi Lanhai originally planned to save more money, go home and build a house, and then marry a wife, but that was the only way to go, but it was quite difficult for him.

Sitting on the bed, looking at the recruitment information of SS Travel Company again, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t hold back my heartbeat. I felt love and excitement bursting out of every bone marrow, and I imagined myself as the chef of the snack city.

He is also thinking about the comparison, continuing to work in a stall with the same salary will never change his life.

If he leaves his job to apply for a job, he may not be hired. For a period of time, he will definitely not be able to work without income.

The best case is to be recorded, and the worst is to go back, but after so many years of water station, finding a job at will is probably much better than the original job.

Thinking of this, Zi Lanhai has made up her mind to resign and is going to apply for a job as a chef at SS Travel Company.

Ten days later, Zi Lanhai resigned from Suicheng and came to New Oriental. Looking from a distance, she saw many applicants gathered at the school gate, it was really a sea of ​​people.

He also found out that from the beginning of the formal selection, tens of thousands of people apply for the job every day.

The primary election is still simple, it depends on the person's appearance, if you pass it, you can ask more questions about how many years you have worked as a chef, and if you pass it, you will get a formal registration form, but most people still can't pass the seemingly simple primary election.

Zi Lanhai passed the primary election. After getting the registration form, she filled in the type of work she was good at and various personal information, handed it in to the registration office, and then waited for the notification.

The next day, he received a practical interview notice.

Practical interviews require a lot of time and are quite difficult.

His practical interview consisted of two items, shredded carrots and handling crucian carp, with a time limit of one hour.

It didn't take long, and the time came. Zi Lanhai was sweating profusely, but fortunately, he had just completed the task.

The teacher scored on the spot, pointed out the advantages and disadvantages, and then asked him to go home and wait for the notice.

Admission is based on merit-based admissions from high scores to low scores. Zi Lanhai doesn't know how many places he can rank in, and whether he can pass in the end. After all, people will come for interviews one after another.

However, the test results are transparent and open, and he is aware of his own shortcomings. He regrets not being able to have a second interview because of his test scores. He knew that he should practice more at home before taking the test.

Before leaving, as an applicant who passed the initial test, he could also get a 500 yuan fare, which was the same for everyone.

Although the money was not much, it also made him grateful to SS Company.

It is estimated that SS travel company will spend tens of millions on travel expenses alone. After all, there are too many interviewees. Even if there are not many people who pass the primary selection, there are at least tens of thousands of interviewees who can enter the practical operation.

Next, is the long wait.
