The story of a cook

Chapter 194 Goodbye Yao Liying

It is fate that two people can be together.

It is fate that two people can hold hands for a lifetime.

It's good to have fate, cherish it.

I found a job for Hebei.

When I was with the boss, the boss introduced me to a big brother. This big brother used to hang out with the boss. They are very good buddies.The eldest brother opened a karaoke bar at the Hospital of the Armed Police Corps and needed a chef, so he introduced Hebei to it.

The karaoke hall is not busy all day long. I am free as a chef in the karaoke hall. When it is open at night, I make fruit plates for the guests. If the guests want to drink and order a few dishes, they can make them. I don’t want to pick any faults, as long as the cooking is not too bad.

When this elder brother approached me, he wanted me to come over. He gave him 800 yuan a month, and told him that I didn't want to go to karaoke bars to cook, and it was just right to introduce Hebei to be a chef.

After get off work in the evening, I took Hebei to the place, and met my elder brother there.

I have had two drinks with my elder brother, and both of them are always with the elder brother.Because we enjoyed drinking and drinking with him, chatting and chatting together, we felt very attached to each other, and gradually became friends.When I was with the boss, the boss led me to meet a few big brothers who were in the society with him. Those big brothers looked like ordinary people, and they were very benevolent and righteous.At that time, a few of them were no longer in the society, and had their own business, and some of them were quite large, and they were well-known enterprises in the provincial capital.The elder brother who is waiting to open a karaoke hall is not a very good guy. He opened a karaoke hall after he got out of prison, and he planned to make some money from the karaoke hall to start retirement.

The eldest brother said that since he came here, although it was a karaoke hall, the guests who came were all rich and picky about the dishes, so he asked Hebei to cook some dishes to try.To put it bluntly, it is to try the dishes.Hebei entered the kitchen and cooked four dishes, one cold dish and three stir-fried dishes.After the dishes are ready, find a private room. The four of us, Hebei, my elder brother, and a manager, sit together and taste the dishes while drinking.

The dishes in Hebei are average, not very good, that is, the level of a small restaurant, but it is enough to be a chef in a karaoke hall.

After the eldest brother tasted the dishes, he said to Hebei: "Brother, I'm straightforward, don't worry about it, to be honest, your dishes are so-so."

Hebei was a little uneasy, and said, "Yes, I didn't do well, I was a little nervous, and I was a little unfamiliar."

The eldest brother said: "I'm sure I'm nervous. It's the first time I've come here so I'm sure I'm nervous, but I can see your skills, it's not very good."

Hebei touched his nose.

I said: "Brother, it's okay, let him get familiar with it first, and then it will be fine."

The eldest brother smiled and said: "The third one proves that the actual level is still there." Then he said to Hebei very straightforwardly: "Then do it here. I don't have much food here. Most of them are fruit plates. Sometimes I When friends come and like to drink some wine, you just cook a few dishes, and no one picks them, but the price is not [-], [-], how about it? You can do it, you can go to work today, and the salary is not bad , it will open in due time."

Hebei said, "Okay, I didn't say anything."

The elder brother said: "Then we've made a deal, can you go to work today?"

Hebei glanced at me, I nodded, and he said, "Okay, nothing to say."

The eldest brother said: "Then you go to work. You can stay in the lounge when you have nothing to do. You can chat with the lady. If a customer wants something, you can make it. That's it. Do you think it will work?"

Hebei said: "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, I'm familiar with it."

I said, "I'll go over with you too, and see what it's like."

The eldest brother said: "Brother, don't go there. You don't know what my kitchen looks like. There is nothing. If you drink here, the food will be cold and hot after a while."

I looked at Hebei, and Hebei went to the kitchen by himself.I started drinking and chatting with my eldest brother.

The eldest brother said: "Brother, Xiaofeng came here yesterday and said that you blocked his way of making money in the first two days."

I said, "There is such a thing, and he will tell you this embarrassing thing."

The eldest brother said: "What's the boy doing? Come and tell me, let me scold him, he can't move at all, he doesn't get paid for doing something, he has to go out to touch porcelain, let me scold him, he It is said that Xiaohong (Cao Jihong) also scolded him. It’s right, I owe scolding, like him, let’s not talk about going out and doing hard work, but beating someone for money is better than touching porcelain, which makes people pay attention.”

I said, "I guess I really don't have any money."

The elder brother said: "It's worth it if you don't have any money! I bought DVDs, but they were all yellow, and they were confiscated by the film police, and I didn't ask anyone to ask for it."

I said, "He sells it too blatantly. He sells it in the big market. Who will he deal with if the police don't deal with it? He doesn't save face for others. He treats the police station as his own home, and the police can pamper him."

The eldest brother asked: "Brother, how do you know him?"

I said, "I don't know him either. Didn't Cao Jihong come out? He went to the Blue House where I worked and wanted some. If I went with him, I knew him."

The eldest brother asked: "Did you know Xiaohong before?"

I said, "I don't know him, but the last time I drank, I heard you and the boss talk about it together."

The eldest brother patted me and said: "Brother, you are quite courageous, Xiaohong is not an ordinary person, she has a reputation in Santaizi, brother Renyi."

I laughed and said: "I don't have anything to do with him, just use the name of the boss to chat with him, and it's okay not to associate with him."

The eldest brother looked at me and said: "Brother, I am opposite, and you are getting more and more opposite, come, have a drink."

Two or two cups of white wine dried up in one sip, and it was really choking.

Putting down his wine glass, the eldest brother said, "You are not a gangster, it is best to avoid dealing with Xiaohong and the others, then it will be black and gray."

I said: "Yes, just acquaintances, nodding and saying something when we meet, I don't mess with them, and they don't mess with me. I'm not a gangster, and I don't know how to mess with it. If it's okay to drink, Nothing wrong."

The eldest brother said: "I just like you brother, you don't procrastinate, man. In the future, people like Xiaofeng don't need a dick at all. They are all brats. If you have any problems, you can go to the elder brother, and the elder brother will settle it for you."

"Thanks in advance, brother." I said, "It's okay for me to be a cook, and they can't mess with me. If they mess with me, I can solve it myself. Brother, you don't care about those things, just drive yourself away." Go to the karaoke hall, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you, if something really happened, wouldn't there be a boss, to save him from installing lights every day."

The eldest brother laughed and said: "That's right, I see you can solve it." Then he said: "You are not an asshole, if you are no one else's."

I said, "Brother, don't praise me, we two still drink, drinking is better than anything else."

"drink wine."

The manager who was drinking with us went down and led the two ladies in after a while.I was a little surprised to see one of the young ladies.

Although she put on a lot of makeup, she still recognized Yao Liying, Shengmei's former waiter, the same waiter Yao Liying who was caught by her aunt when she was with Li Jianhan.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and she is no longer the innocent little girl at the beginning. Now standing in front of me is a young girl with revealing clothes, coquettish and charming, exuding seductive aura.

I recognized her, and she recognized me, with surprise and evasion in her eyes.

She said, "Brother Tan—"

I nodded and said, "It's you—"

This occasion is somewhat embarrassing.

I patted the chair next to me and said, "Sit down when you come, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yao Liying sat down, not daring to look at me.

The eldest brother looked a little confused and asked me: "Brother, do you two know each other?"

I said, "I know you, earlier than you. We have worked together before."

The eldest brother said: "That's a coincidence, you can still see people from the past with me."

I said, "Why don't you say it's fate."

The eldest brother said: "Xiaoying has been here for almost half a year, she sings very well, and many customers come to her."

It’s okay if the eldest brother didn’t say this, but after hearing this, I felt a little uncomfortable, as if my relatives were being bullied, and I felt like I wanted to have an attack but couldn’t, feeling aggrieved, angry, and helpless.That kind of feeling can't be expressed, it's depressing and uncomfortable.

Yao Liying is used to pouring wine for me, and pouring wine with the woman who came in with her.That woman is very old, about 40 years old, but she still has charm. She looks more charming than a little girl, with the taste of a mature woman, dignified and charming.

Sitting next to her eldest brother, she poured wine for him very considerately, and asked him, "Did you drink a lot?"

"I didn't drink much, just four ounces of wine." The elder brother said, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is my little brother Tan Zi. Let me introduce a chef to you today." Then he said to me: "Brother, your name is Sister Meng. , it’s our old man.”

I nodded to Sister Meng.

Yao Liying picked up the wine glass and said to me: "It's fate to meet my Brother Tan here today. I haven't seen Brother Tan for several years. I didn't expect to meet here. I'm very happy. Let's have a drink."

So I had a drink.

On this occasion, you can't ask Yao Liying anything, just drink and chat. When the elder brother was drunk, Sister Meng helped him to sleep in the private room.

Yao Liying and I are left.

Yao Liying was sent back to her hometown after her aunt found out that she was dating Li Jianhan.After returning home, the family did not allow her to come out again. She was locked up at home for half a year, and she contacted Li Jianhan again through Master Chen. Li Jianhan asked her to come out to work so that they could be together.Later, her parents agreed with her to come out to work. After she came out, she found Li Jianhan, and they were together again.

At that time, Li Jianhan was still on the chopping board, and she was a waiter, but they both were laid off at the same time.It was okay when I was just laid off, and I could continue to live with my salary.Later, the money was gone, and the two still rented a house, and they couldn't live without a job.During the period of being laid off, Li Jianhan got used to staying at home, and she didn't like to go out to look for work. She went out to work by herself, or as a waiter. Being a waiter earned less, and sometimes it was not enough for the two of them.

Later, Li Jianhan got in touch with the hotel with the lady, and always being with those people can be regarded as going to work and earning money.Li Jianhan, who came and went, led her to get in touch with those people, and went to the karaoke hall to sing together. Later, Li Jianhan asked her to work as a waiter in the karaoke hall, which would earn more money.She listened to Li Jianhan's words and went to work as a waiter in the karaoke hall. At the beginning, some customers touched her and fumbled for her. She didn't want to do it, so she went back and told Li Jianhan. Not tipping, not sleeping with guests, no big deal.

Seeing what Li Jianhan said, she felt chilled, and completely understood what kind of person Li Jianhan was.

Li Jianhan treated her like this, she just looked away besides being sad.

She continued to work in the karaoke bar and slowly adapted.

Later, Li Jianhan and another woman slept at home while she was not at work, and she caught her doing this, and then separated from Li Jianhan completely, and started her career as a karaoke lady. It has been three years now.

I asked her: "Do you hate Li Jianhan?"

She said: "Hate, hate very much, I can't go today without him——but I hate myself most——"

I looked at her, not knowing what to say.

No girl is born to be a lady, and there are certain reasons for being a lady.

Some are forced by life, some give up on themselves after being hit, and some may seek excitement.

In my cognition, I have never looked down on young ladies, because they are also human beings, and they are also living for their own survival and life, but in different ways.
