The story of a cook

Chapter 281 Sister Zhao Comes Home
It snowed for a day, the same as last year's snow, but not as big as last year.

Lin Yan said she needed to do laundry, but I said don't wash it yet, it's snowing outside, there is no place to dry it after washing, wait two days before washing, anyway, there are clothes to wear.

Lin Yan said: "Old Tan, our family won't buy a washing machine, and there is no place to put it. Buy a spin dryer, use the spin dryer to shake the clothes after washing, and it will dry quickly."

I said, "OK, I'll buy one tomorrow."

Lin Yan said: "If you buy one, buy a good one, buy a brand name, and don't like bad ones."

I said, "Got it, buy a famous brand."

"Old Tan, what do you think our family should buy?" Lin Yan asked.

I said, "Look, buy what you lack."

Lin Yan said: "I still want to buy a freezer, but it's too expensive and I can't afford it."

I said, "There's nothing you can't afford, just buy it if you want."

Lin Yan said: "Don't buy it yet, wait until summer."

I said, "That's fine, I'll buy it in summer."

Lin Yan asked: "Old Tan, there are still two months until the Chinese New Year. Are you not looking for a job?"

I said, "I'm looking for it. I can't stay here for two months, so I have to earn some money, or else I'll have something to spend for the New Year."

Lin Yan said, "I said yes."

Chinese New Year is two months away, I can't stay for these two months, I have to find a job to earn some money.

"Let's go back early this year for Chinese New Year. My mother hopes that we will go back early. We are just married this year, so we will stay home for a few more days." I said to Lin Yan.

"I don't want to go if I don't go to your house for the Chinese New Year this year."

Lin Yan put the clothes to be washed in the basin and didn't look at me while talking.

"Why?" I was a little puzzled.

"No reason, I just don't want to go."

"We just got married this year, so we have to go back to celebrate the New Year. Why don't we leave my mother alone at home for the New Year?"

"This year I will go home to spend the New Year with my mother." Lin Yan said.

I said: "You can spend the New Year with your mother at any time. We are both married and a family. We have to go home for the New Year. Isn't it different to go to your mother's house after the New Year?"

"No, I'll go back to my mother's house for the New Year."

Lin Yan came to be stubborn.

I was a little annoyed, how could anyone not go home to celebrate the New Year in the first year of marriage.

"You go back to your mother's house for the New Year, and your mother won't let you go back. How can you go back to your mother's house for the New Year in the first year of marriage."

"That's not my natal family, that's my family, you know, you have to understand."

Lin Yan said to play out of the house.

I didn't say anything, I was very angry.I thought I wouldn't talk to her about it for now, I guess she had a convulsion today and ignored her, and I'll talk about it someday when she doesn't have a convulsion anymore.If it goes on to say that the two of them can work together, it won't make sense.

It's just that I'm unhappy, thinking that there's no such thing as this, and it's unreasonable not to go home with me for the New Year just after I got married.

I didn't talk to Lin Yan all night, and I got up in the morning to make breakfast, and the two of them didn't talk, and she went to work after eating.Tell her the road is slippery, take the bus instead of riding a bicycle.She said I know, not stupid.Then go away.

This is the first time the two of us are really angry. I feel a little unreasonable not to go to my house for the New Year in the first year of marriage.

Think about it, you just got married a few days ago, and you didn't offend her, so why is it like this?

Even if you are offended, if you tell me what happened, it is my fault. If I admit it and correct it, it will be over. Why is this so?
If you are angry in your heart, you have to do business. I went to the mall and bought a dryer. I washed my clothes when I got home. I used the dryer to shake it. Not to mention, it works really well, much better than wringing it by hand. Yes, the clothes that have been spun out of the drying bucket have no moisture at all, and are very dry, just hang them in the air.Looking at the drying bucket, I thought, shaking clothes is so good, if you put the vegetable stuffing for making dumplings in it, it will be easy to shake, it's easier than holding it with your hands, I must try it when I have time.

I took the clothes outside to dry, when the phone rang, I looked at the phone number, it was Sister Wu who I met while eating hot pot a few days ago, and I pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Sister Wu!" I greeted.

"Hello Brother Tan, what are you up to?" Sister Wu asked.

I said: "Nothing busy, stay at home." Then I asked: "Is there something wrong, Sister Wu?"

Sister Wu said: "It's really a matter of looking for you. You know the 'Laohan Villa', right?"

"I know, isn't that from the TV series 'Liu Laohan'?"

Sister Wu said: "Yes, now 'Laohan Villa' is going to open a branch in our provincial capital. My classmate invested in it and cooperated with Laohan Villa. It's considered a franchise. This is the first one in the country. When the table was opened, my classmate felt that he couldn't do it alone, and wanted to work with me, do you think it can be done?"

I said: "It's hard to say. You can't watch TV dramas when you open a restaurant. It's just a show, which is different from the real thing. If you open it in Beisantaizi, it depends on where the location is, what the location is, and the old man. Han Shanzhuang can't get out of management, what is going to be done? This has to be discussed with them."

Sister Wu said: "Yes, I think so too." Then she said: "My classmate has already settled down. I just found me now that the decoration has started. Why don't you see if you have time these two days? Let's go and have a look." .”

I said: "Okay, I have time for these two days. Sister Wu, call me when you come over, and I will go and have a look with you."

Sister Wu said, "Well, brother, let's make an agreement like this. I'll be there the day after tomorrow, and I'll call you when I arrive."

The Liu Laohan TV series is very popular, and the Laohan Villa in it is also very distinctive, but I don’t know what it would be like to open such a villa in the city.

What impressed me the most when I watched TV dramas was the farmyard and Errenzhuan. The features inside should be the health-preserving wine researched by Yaoxizi, the small heated kang in the farmhouse bungalows, and the home-cooked dishes, which are no different from the farmhouse.Watching TV series is very good, and the common people like it very much, but they don’t know how the operation of their villa is. No matter how good it is on TV, the guests still have to watch the real thing when they arrive.

The villa on TV is the highlight, but the villa in reality is a place to eat, they are not the same thing.

Sister Zhao came over the next day.

When Sister Zhao came, I was preparing to cook. Since she came, I planned to go out to have a bite instead of cooking at home.

Sister Zhao said: "Little brother, let's eat at home. The restaurant food is not as good as cooking at home. My sister is not an outsider. Just the two of us, don't go to the restaurant."

I said, "That's fine too, sister, I'll make it for you whatever you want to eat."

Sister Zhao said: "Just stew some sauerkraut. I haven't eaten sauerkraut for a long time."

So I made a stewed sauerkraut with big bones and frozen tofu, fried a plate of sliced ​​meat with sesame oil, fried a peanut, mixed with a vegetarian chicken, four dishes, and it was quite hearty.

Sister Zhao was very happy looking at the dishes on the table, and said, "Look, how good it is to eat at home. It's delicious and affordable, and it saves money. It's not bad to eat out, it's a waste."

"Well, we'll eat at home from now on."

Sister Zhao asked, "Your wife won't come back for lunch?"

I said: "I won't come back, she will eat at the place where she works, and she will come back from get off work at night."

"The two of us can't eat these, so take out some for your daughter-in-law." Sister Zhao said.

"No, I'll do it for her tonight."

"It's better to save some, it's a waste if you can't eat it."

I said, "No, we eat on the side, and the rest will be warmed up for me and my wife to eat at night."

I asked Sister Zhao if she drank baijiu, and Sister Zhao said that she could drink less and treat it as a wedding wine.Sister Zhao rarely drinks baijiu, and the amount of beer is only two bottles. The only baijiu she drank when she drank too much was I sent her home.

"Little brother, it's time to have a baby after getting married this time." Sister Zhao asked me while eating.

"Well, it's time to have a baby."

"You are already 28, and it's time to have a baby. It's not good if it's too late." Sister Zhao said.

I said: "Yes, my mother has long been looking forward to holding a grandson."

Sister Zhao said: "That's not true, your mother is already anxious at such an old age." Then she said: "Your mother will be very happy when you go back to get married."

"Yes, my mother is very happy."

Thinking of the tears in her mother's eyes when Lin Yan called her "Mom", she felt sour.

Sister Zhao said: "You are the old boy of your family. Your mother has been looking forward to you getting married and starting a family all these years. Now she is relieved to see you getting married. This is the case when you are old. My sister is 38. When I go home, my mother It’s also about me, tell me to find someone, always worry about it.”

I said, "Sister, you really should find someone."

Sister Zhao said: "My sister also wants to look for it. Isn't it because I haven't found a suitable one?"

I said: "You are easy to find, you are beautiful, and you have a store, so you don't need to rely on men to support you. If you don't look for them, if you look for them, there are still none."

Sister Zhao said: "It's not as easy as you said, the older you are, the harder it is to find." Then she said: "Now that I think about it a lot, I always feel that it's not suitable—see, if you meet someone who is in love with you, sister Just marry yourself out."

Sister Zhao laughed after she finished speaking.After drinking the wine, her face was red, and she looked very pretty.

Sister Zhao is quite beautiful, and she doesn't look like 38 at all. At first glance, she is only [-], and she has the charm of a mature woman, very feminine.

"Sister, you have to be optimistic about finding a partner this time, and don't be fooled again." I said.

Sister Zhao nodded and said, "Well, I'm about to get sick. Whenever I talk about dating, I start to lose my mind. Tell me, I've never met a good person, but they are all liars."

I smile.

"The original match, I was looking for a woman outside, and I left him when I was angry. The second one looked better at the beginning or pretended to bet, and beat people. Later, what Li Na introduced was not a joke. If it wasn't for that day It doesn’t matter if you follow me, and I’m afraid when I think about it.” Sister Zhao said with a sigh, and continued: “Hey, the last one is better, just PS me and broke up with Li Na, I didn’t Let me tell you, I almost fell asleep with him, but Yiyi didn't sleep, if I did, I would regret it to death and commit suicide by jumping off the building."

I said: "It's all in the past tense, and you can guarantee to find a good one in the future."

Sister Zhao looked at me, her eyes were a little red, her eyes became red when she drank white wine, and when the redness stopped, she started to drink too much.

"My sister will look for a partner according to your standard in the future. If I find a sister like you, I will be satisfied."

I laughed and said: "I'm so good, I know how to drink, don't look for someone like me."

Sister Zhao said: "Little brother, you are so good. Only when you are married can I dare to say that. My sister is older, ten years older than you. Otherwise, my sister would have married you long ago. How could it be your daughter-in-law's turn?" hehe."

"Sister, you scare me, I'm timid."

"Look at you, you are just timid." Sister Zhao said to me with a smile in her eyes, "Do you still remember that when you came back from Xinchuang Restaurant to work in Santaizi, I came to see you and made your bed sheets."

"Remember."

"You said how timid you are, I was lying there, and you just lay down behind me honestly, and you didn't even dare to hug me. At that time, I laughed, thinking that I was still a boy, and I didn't know anything. Dare, a woman is lying in her arms and dare not move, hehe, you said how timid you are."

Sister Zhao used Jiu Jin to tell the story of the past.I blushed, a little embarrassed.

I said, "I didn't think about that at that time, I thought you were tired and fell asleep."

Sister Zhao said: "Fuck you, can I fall asleep? In fact, I was also timid at that time. If I was braver, I would hug you as soon as I turned over. Hehe, my sister didn't dare at that time. I thought you were too young. , I'm still divorced, and if I'm with you, I'll cheat you."

I didn't speak, looked at Sister Zhao, remembered the past, and felt very happy in the past.At that time, Sister Zhao was just 30 years old, she was pretty, she was only 25 or [-] years old, and she was still a timid and weak woman. Now that eight years have passed, Sister Zhao is no longer weak, she can already control her life and be herself .

It's just that Sister Zhao embarrassed me when she talked about the past, and I didn't know what to say.

Just when the door was pushed open in embarrassment, Brother Li came in from next door.

Seeing sister Zhao and I drinking, Brother Li was a little embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I thought you were the only one at home, so I disturbed you."

After speaking, we will go outside the house.

I quickly stood up and said, "Brother Li, don't go, she's not an outsider, this is my sister, she came to see me today, just in time, let's have a drink together."

Brother Li said: "Don't drink, don't drink, you drink yours. I just finished my get out of class at noon. I thought I was fine and went to buy some food and drink with Jiang Runping. I wanted to see if you were at home."

Brother Li came to ask me for a drink.

I said, "That's so outrageous, you two don't drink by yourself, come over here, let's join together, there will be more people drinking and having fun."

At this time, Sister Zhao stood up and said, "Come here together, I am not an outsider, his sister, not his iron son, have you misunderstood?"

Brother Li was a little embarrassed to hear Sister Zhao say that, and said, "No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding."

"If you don't misunderstand, come over and have a drink together. It happens that the two of us are not interested in drinking. There are many people drinking and drinking, so don't bother to make a meal. It's all ready-made. Come here, don't be an outsider, and I am not an outsider."

So Brother Li and Jiang Runping came over, and the four of us drank and chatted together.

The charm of beautiful women is endless, especially a mature woman like Sister Zhao, who is simply invincible. Brother Li and Jiang Runping dare not look directly in the eye, so they can only aim.

Sister Zhao dared to speak up after drinking, chatted with Brother Li a lot, and heard that Brother Li and the other two belonged to the aircraft factory, and said: "Your factory is good, it is under the control of the Ministry of Military Industry, and the local government can't control you. , A lot of people spend money to enter your factory, but they can’t get in.”

Brother Li said: "The aircraft factory is okay, we demobilized and went straight to the factory."

"Your factory is the best in the provincial capital. If I say nothing and don't come out and suffer this, how kind are you." Sister Zhao was very envious.

"You can spend money to transfer to our factory." Li Ge said.

"Isn't there no money?" Sister Zhao said, "It's impossible to enter your factory. Find an old man in your factory. Is there any single person as old as me in your factory? Let me introduce one."

Sister Zhao began to sell herself.

Brother Li asked, "Are you still married?"

I said, "Sister Zhao is divorced, alone."

Brother Li asked, "How old are you this year? Looks like I'm not as old as you."

Sister Zhao said, "I'm older than you, 38."

"It's not like, it looks like you're only 38. It doesn't look like [-] at all." Brother Li said, "Then you are older than me, so I have to call you sister."

Sister Zhao smiled and said, "Think about it, find a partner for my sister in your factory, if you can't enter your factory, marry into your factory as a daughter-in-law, see if it's okay."

"I think it will work." Brother Li said.

"I think it's okay, absolutely!" Jiang Runping said.

After drinking a lot of wine, both Li Ge and Jiang Runping drank too much, so they went back to sleep directly. Sister Zhao also had a little too much, but it was nothing serious. He helped her to the street to take a taxi. Before leaving, Sister Zhao said, "OK Live with your daughter-in-law, if you can't find her in this life, you won't look for her, and you can just see her when the time comes, she is content."
