Chapter 37: Appreciation Building
Gao Dian came here according to the address. When he looked up, he saw three big gilded characters "Shangweilou" written on it. These three characters are iron-painted and silver hooks, and they are obviously from the hands of everyone.
The name of the Admiralty Tower is well-known, and Gao Dian has heard of it countless times.
The biscuits, pastries, etc. I bought in supermarkets on weekdays are basically from the Shangweilou. The biscuits and pastries from the Shangweilou brand are not cheap, they are only a dozen yuan per pound, and the more expensive ones are several tens of a pound.
There are so many brands on the market, Gaodian likes to eat the brand of Shangweilou the most.
Although he had eaten so many snacks on Shangweilou, he really didn’t know that Shangweilou actually had a physical store!
He made a phone call and soon a person came out from it, which was the Du Dawei that Gao Dian had met before.
"Brother Du." Gao Dian shouted.
Du Dawei was wearing a white chef's suit and there was no stain on his clothes.
"Xiao Dian is here, come in with me." Du Dawei said with a smile.
"good."
Gao Dian responded and followed Du Dawei into the Flavor Admiring Building.
They are not walking in the main gate, but the side gate. This is an employee passage and can walk directly into the kitchen.
"This is where you will work in the future." Du Dawei said, bringing Gao Dian into the kitchen.
Along the way, Du Dawei did not introduce much to Gao Dian. After entering the kitchen, he just said something simple.
"Brother Du, what am I doing?" Gao Dian asked on his own initiative.
The kitchen is very clean, and basically no dirty places are found, and all kinds of kitchen utensils seem to be new.
"You can help knead the dough first." Du Dawei said in a deep thought.
"Okay." Gao Dian responded and nodded.
This is his job. If he really asked him to make some pastry, Gao Dian would be a little scared.
Du Dawei clapped his hands, and the busy people in the kitchen put down their work and looked at it.
"Everyone, this is a new employee. His main job in the future is to knead and knead noodles. Welcome everyone!" Du Dawei said loudly.
"Smack!"
The applause sounded, and everyone clapped their hands together. Although they tried to look welcoming, their eyes were mostly full of distantness.
Gao Dian didn't see these. After everyone applauded, he stood up and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Gao Dian, the height of the dictionary, please give me some advice in the future!"
No one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
Du Dawei glanced at him and said nothing. He patted Gao Dian on the shoulder and said, "Do it well."
"I will work hard." Gao Dian replied.
Du Dawei smiled, but this smile was quite meaningful.
"I hope you can hold on." Du Dawei said, then turned around and left the kitchen.
After Du Dawei left, everyone in the kitchen was busy, talking loudly and talking to each other, which was a lively scene, but this excitement had nothing to do with Gaodian.
He could only watch them lively, standing there, at a loss.
These people seem to be unfriendly.
Gao Dian thought to himself. He stood here for so long, but no one came to ask himself.
Just as he was thinking, a young man walked over and said, "Hello, new colleague. Let me meet my name, Lan Yuan, Lan Hua's Orchid, and the Yuan of Rmb."
"Lan...yuan..." Gao Dian recited this name silently in his heart.
"Hello, my name is Gao Dian."
"I know, you introduced yourself just now." Lan Yuan said with a smile.
"If you need any help, just say it, new colleague." Lan Yuan said.
"I just happened to need your help, so I'm not polite." Gao Dian said.
"Hahaha, just say that I'll help you with your work today." Lan Yuan smiled.
"I want to ask, what should I do now?" Gao Dian asked.
"You are a newcomer, so you don't need to do anything on the first day. Your main job is to get familiar with the placement of this place. Our kitchen is quite large, and the arrangement of ingredients in the warehouse, the proportion of commonly used dough, etc., all of them need to be familiar with you in advance." Lan Yuan said with a smile.
"That's the case, can you please bring me acquainted with me?" Gao Dian asked.
"Of course it's okay. I'm not busy now, so I'll take you to get to know you." Lan Yuan replied with a smile.
"That's great, thank you." Gao Dian smiled, feeling relieved.
"It's nothing. Come with me and take you to Lukufang first." Lan Yuan said.
After saying that, Lan Yuan led the way.
"Oh, OK."
Gao Dian responded quickly and followed.
The warehouse and the kitchen are next to each other, and the road is actually easy to find. After walking through it, Gao Dian will remember it in his heart.
Lan Yuan walked over, opened the door of the warehouse, and walked in with Gao Dian.
"This is the warehouse. The most widely placed here is flour and some other ingredients. I'll take you to see them one by one. After that, someone asks you to get some ingredients, and you won't be able to find them." Lan Yuan said as he walked.
Gao Dian looked at it one by one and found that there were signs on each area that said what was placed here. Even if you don’t remember it, you can find it.
But there is an efficiency problem here, finding one minute and finding ten minutes are completely different.
"I'll tell you first, if you can't find the ingredients in the future, you will be scolded." Lan Yuan reminded.
Gao Dian nodded and remembered it in his heart.
After seeing the warehouse, Lan Yuan took Gao Dian back to the kitchen and said, "That area is mainly a place where you knead dough, and you will work there afterwards. Drinking dough is not an easy job. Sometimes, after a day, your arms will feel like they are ruined."
When Gao Dian heard this, he was shocked and said, "So terrible?"
"Of course, our Shangweilou sells a lot of pastries every day. The dough made by these pastries depends on you kneading them. Thank you for your hard work," said Lan Yuan.
Gao Dian asked in confusion: "Since there are so many, why not use machines to replace them?"
Lan Yuan smiled and said, "The machine can indeed be replaced, and it is even better than manual dough kneading. However, what we adorn the Weiwei Building insists on is handmade, and it is impossible for the machine to knead the dough."
"That's it." Gao Dian nodded, recalling the meaningful smile of Brother Du before leaving just now, as if he understood something.
"Don't be afraid, we all came from that stage. In fact, such a large amount of kneading dough is also beneficial. At least it can give you a lot of exercise. To put it bluntly, our noodle chef is still the work of hand-made exercises. A lot of exercises are essential, and only our Admiring House and some other few insist on hand-kneading dough. Most of the other dim sum buildings are replaced by machines, so there is no room for practice." Lan Yuan comforted.
