The story of a cook

Chapter 199 Eating at Sister Zhao's House
People are happier when they don't have much money than when they are rich.

Because there is no money, there are not many desires, life is very simple, and the communication between people is also very simple.There is no comparison between people, no envy, jealousy and hatred.You have no money, and I have no money. They are all poor friends. No one picks anyone. There is nothing to say, but they live a good life.

Once people have money, they start to have too many desires, and gradually there are comparisons, distinctions, and grades.

The money is there, but the happiness is gone.

Struggling with materialistic desires every day, and still feel that life is good, in fact, it is not as happy as when you have no money.

Now I have no money, and if I have money, I will be treated.

Although life is impermanent, life is beautiful. It is also a way of living to live a life without money like a rich person, as long as you understand it.

I haven't contacted Sister Zhao since she drank too much last time, and I don't know how she is doing now. Is she in a better mood?

I called Sister Zhao, and Sister Zhao said that it would be fine to stay at home.Ask me what I'm doing, and I say I'm fine staying at home.Sister Zhao asked me to go to her place and chat with her. I said yes, and told her to wait for me at home.

I used to take a taxi to go to Ms. Zhao, but now I have nothing to do, and I am not in a hurry. I am going to ride a bicycle to see the scenery by the way.It is estimated that it will take at least an hour to go from Santaizi to Sister Zhao's house. It is the same as going to Master Chen's, and the journey is slow.I was young back then, and it was enough to ride a bike for an hour, but now I feel tired even half an hour, let alone an hour.

Starting from home, I took Huanghe Street and turned Changjiang Street. When I went north, I bought a box of milk for Sister Zhao's mother.Then continue to ride forward, turn from the northbound Pearl River Bridge to Qishan Road, and then go 10 minutes to find sister's home community, enter the community, lock the car, go upstairs and knock on the door.

Sister Zhao opened the door with flour in her hands. Seeing me, she smiled and asked, "How did you get there? Is it far from your house?"

I said, "I came by bicycle, it's a bit slow."

Sister Zhao complained: "It's tiring to ride a bicycle, it would be nice to take a taxi."

I said, "If you're not tired, just exercise."

I couldn't help laughing when I entered the house. Sister Zhao and her mother were making dumplings at home.I thought to myself that I just finished eating dumplings yesterday, and I ate dumplings again today, which is on par with dumplings.

Fortunately, I love to eat dumplings, and I will never get tired of eating them. If I eat anything else, I will die.

Put down the milk and say to Sister Zhao's mother, "Auntie, I'll buy you a box of milk."

The old lady said: "Look at you kid, just come and buy milk."

As we finished making the dumplings, Sister Zhao asked me to sit down, then cleaned up the table and took the dumplings to the kitchen.

Soon the dumplings were cooked and served, along with a few side dishes.

Sister Zhao took out a bottle of wine and said to me, "Brother, I will drink some white wine with you today."

I said, "Don't drink, you'll vomit if you drink too much."

Sister Zhao said: "It's fine today, it's fine to drink at home and throw up."

Sister Zhao's mother said: "Still drinking? I tossed Xiao Tanzi enough that day, and even vomited on him. I don't have a long memory at all."

Sister Zhao said: "Don't worry, aren't you at home today, don't drink much, besides, the little brother is here, there must be someone to drink with you."

Sister Zhao, Sister Zhao and my mother ate dumplings and drank wine.

Sister Zhao's mother is a kind-hearted old lady. Every time she comes to Sister Zhao's house and sees Sister Zhao's mother, she feels like her own home. Maybe it's because there are old people in the family.

Sister Zhao asked me: "Brother, when are you going home?"

I said, "In two days, go back in two days."

Sister Zhao asked: "Will you bring something for your mother when you go back?"

I said, "Bring melatonin. I brought two boxes back last year. My mother said it was good."

Sister Zhao said: "Melatonin is not bad, the elderly drink it well."

I said, "I don't know what to bring. My mother is over 60. Just bring something that is good for her health. I hope my mother is in good health."

Sister Zhao's mother said: "Your mother will be happy if you don't take anything home to see. When you are old, you will think about it. You often go back and see."

I said: "Yes."

Sister Zhao said: "If you don't buy another dress for your mother, it's fine to wear it on your body."

I said, "Look, I can't choose clothes well. My daughter-in-law said that she would have a look at it later, and she also meant to buy clothes for my mother."

In fact, Lin Yan never said that she was afraid that Sister Zhao would take me to buy clothes for my mother later, and she would definitely spend money, which would be bad.But when I think about what Sister Zhao said is right, I have to buy a piece of clothing for my mother to take home, not just melatonin.Lin Yan is too young to think about it, I have to think about it.

Sister Zhao couldn't drink much baijiu, and she began to blush after taking a sip.

Seeing her blushing, I said: "Sister, if you can't do it, you should drink less, your face will turn red."

Sister Zhao said: "It's okay, I blush when I drink, you know, I'm in a good mood today, it's okay to drink a little."

Sister Zhao's mother said: "Then drink less."

Sister Zhao laughed and said, "It's okay, don't drink too much."

Sister Zhao's mother was full after eating more than a dozen dumplings, she put down her chopsticks and said, "You two sisters drink slowly and eat slowly. I am old and can't eat much, so go to lie down." After speaking, she went back to her room to lie down. I went to rest.

After the old lady left, Sister Zhao asked me: "Brother, did I really vomit on you that day?"

I said, "Well, it smells bad."

Sister Zhao smiled embarrassedly and asked me: "Then what did you say when you got home? Your wife didn't mention you?"

I said, "She was in a senior class that day and was not at home."

Sister Zhao said, "What a shame, why did I drink so much that day?"

I said: "If you're in a bad mood, don't drink too much. When you're in a bad mood, remember not to drink, it will hurt your health."

Sister Zhao said: "It's really uncomfortable to drink too much. I didn't get up the next day, and I couldn't remember anything. I knew I had a drink with you. I forgot where I drank it. I don't know how I got home. .”

I said, "Don't drink like that in the future, you will suffer more."

Sister Zhao said, "It was just that time, and I won't drink anything from now on."

I said, "I wanted to quit drinking when I saw how uncomfortable you vomited that day. What do you think you should drink?" I persuaded myself that I would not suffer any more in the future, and after a while, it would still be the same, and I would still suffer.”

Sister Zhao was happy and said: "Not all of them are like this. They commit crimes knowingly."

I looked at Sister Zhao and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

Sister Zhao said: "It's much better, there's nothing to do. It's not like the troubles in the first two days."

I said, "That's good. People have to persuade themselves. It's useless for others to persuade you. You have to think about everything, right?"

Sister Zhao said: "It is said that this is the case, but I just couldn't think about it at the time. Hehe, everyone makes this mistake."

I said, "Actually, you don't know how to drink. If you know how to drink, you'll know everything. Come on, sister. You can drink a little bit and I can drink a little bit. Let's drink one."

I have had many drinks with Sister Zhao, and every time I am in a good mood.

Seeing that Sister Zhao is in good condition today, she should have passed the test in her heart.

People don't know what kind of things they will meet and who they will encounter in this life. It is good or bad to know, otherwise there is a saying that "you will learn a lot and gain wisdom".

In fact, it is good for people to suffer a little bit sometimes, and it is a blessing to suffer.

But people can suffer a little in terms of money and affairs, but they must not suffer in terms of personality and dignity.If someone hits you, you can hit him back, and you have to hurt him.

While drinking and chatting, before I knew it, a bottle of wine was gone.

Sister Zhao was a little drunk, and the aisle shook a bit when clearing the table. I made tea for her and asked her to sit on the sofa to drink. I went to clear the table and returned to the sofa to pour a cup of tea.

Sister Zhao said: "It's really not good for a small amount of alcohol. Drink a little and you'll be finished."

I said, "It's okay, as long as you don't vomit."

Sister Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not vomit today. I am happy today. I am the happiest today when I come back from Wuai."

I said, "That's good, just be happy."

Sister Zhao said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I can't pretend in my heart." Then she looked at everything and said, "What's the matter, the big deal is that I do it myself, and I have been dealing with selling clothes for the past two years. It’s almost the same, how to buy, what to buy, what’s easy to sell and what’s not, you can see that it’s close to ten. I’ll go out and walk around my house tomorrow. If there’s a suitable store, I’ll rent it. Do it yourself."

I said, "That's fine, but you have to think about what to sell."

"If you sell children's clothes, I will sell children's clothes." Sister Zhao said, "You didn't see that our house is next to an elementary school, and there are three kindergartens nearby. There are many children. I will sell children's clothes here, and I promise it will work."

I said, "I don't know much about clothing. Just look at it. I guess you are now an expert in this area."

Sister Zhao said confidently: "I don't dare to be an expert, but if you want to sell clothes, it's okay!"

I said, "That's fine, just shout whatever you want."

"Tomorrow I will go out and look around to see if there are any better stores. I don't plan to make a lot of money a day. First of all, as long as I don't lose money." Sister Zhao continued: "Dry clothing stores are not like dry stalls. Clothing stores rely on the main road to buy clothes. If your clothes are good, cheap, and the style is still popular, you will be able to pull down the main road slowly. If you have the main road, it will be easy to handle. At that time, the main road will start I’ve done some publicity for you. Especially if you do it in front of your home, you have to rely on the Lord’s way, and if you know most of them, it’s even better.”

I said: "Sister, I found out that you are the material for selling clothes, you can do it, yes."

Sister Zhao laughed and said, "I found out that I'm also a material for selling clothes."
