The story of a cook

Chapter 438

After going to the third sister's house, I went to the eldest sister's house, the second sister's house, the fourth sister's house and the fifth sister's house, and stayed in each house for a day.After walking around the five sisters' homes, they also arrived at Nian Gen'er.

The Spring Festival of [-] was the first Spring Festival that our family of four celebrated together, and it was very peaceful and warm.

Seeing his mother's gratified appearance, I am also very gratified, knowing that this is what my mother wants in her old age.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the sisters went back to their natal home and had a lively day at home.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Lin Yan and I took our son out of the house and went to my mother-in-law's house.When I left, my mother was a little bit reluctant, and my son cried while hugging his mother, which made me feel uncomfortable.Lin Yan told her son that she would take him back to see grandma after a month, but her son stopped crying suspiciously and followed us into the car.

Stayed one night at my mother-in-law's house.

At this time, the mother-in-law's family was also very good. Zhihao got married and had a child. The family of three developed very well in BJ.Shino is already a senior, graduating from university this year.I asked Zhiye if he was still planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation, Zhiye said no, and went straight to find a job.The mother-in-law also earns money by raising pigs at home, but the old lady is tired and has a heavy burden.

As long as I can help my mother-in-law's family, I can help now. Lin Yan and I also have a child, and we have to start living in our own home.From when Shino went to junior high school until he graduated from university, Lin Yan paid tuition fees every year.He also arranged for Zhihao's marriage and helped his mother-in-law raise pigs. These years, he has spent a lot of money.Now Lin Yan and I have no savings at all, and our son is already two years old, so we have to think about our own family.

I came back from my mother-in-law's house on the sixth day of the lunar new year. Lin Yan and my son didn't come back. Lin Yan said that I would spend the fifteenth day at my mother-in-law's house.

This time I stayed for a long time and had to find a job.

I called Master Chen and the fourth child and asked them to introduce me to a suitable job.

When it comes to looking for a job, I think of the scene when I was in the Nanhu labor market when I first came out. At that time, I stood in the cold and waited for the boss to come to choose me. .Now I don’t need to go to the labor market to find a job. I heard that there is no labor market in Nanhu.Now it is the labor service hall, in the city hall square, where all college graduates go to find jobs.

Recruitment in restaurants is much better than before. You can recruit people by posting a job advertisement at the door, or by placing an advertisement in the "Worry [-]" newspaper.For chefs like me, almost all of them were introduced by friends, and they applied without looking at the recruitment.

My job is easy to find in the provincial capital. If the requirements are not too high, it is easy to find a restaurant with low-end cooking, but the salary is low, 2000 yuan a month.People go to high places and water flows to low places. A chef who has reached my level does not want to lower his value to cook in such a restaurant. After all, he has been earning more than 3000 yuan, and no one is willing to earn 2000 yuan.That's what I thought too, it's not about pretending, it's because I need money.

After returning home, there are only people in my family at the entrance of the building. Brother Li’s family went back to his hometown with his parents to celebrate the New Year this year.

It's boring to be alone, and no one wants to find someone to drink with.When I came back from my mother-in-law's house, I brought a lot of cooked dumplings and prepared dishes. My mother-in-law said that I would save trouble when I went home, and I could eat them without cooking them myself.

I wanted to eat some hot dumplings, but I was too lazy to move. When I was hesitating, the phone rang.It was Zheng Jiaqi who called, asking me if I'm back?I said I'm back, I'm at home.She and Sister Jiang's tavern closed on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and were about to open on the tenth day of the lunar new year.It is useless to open early. Fuxin has not yet reached the level of a provincial capital. After the second year of junior high school, I started to eat in restaurants.In the small restaurant in Fuxin, no one can eat until the tenth day of the lunar new year. Before the tenth day of the lunar new year, the common people eat at home.

Zheng Jiaqi heard that I was back and planned to come to see me and wish me a New Year by the way.I said, then you come here, I am preparing hot dumplings, and I will eat them together when you come.

Zheng Jiaqi brought a lot of things when she came. She thought that Lin Yan and her son were also at home, so she bought a suit of clothes, milk, and an oversized toy gun for her son.

"I still want to see your son, but I didn't expect to be home." She said with a little regret.

"It's at his grandma's house, and I came back with her mother after fifteen years." I said.

"Why don't you stay at the old mother-in-law's natal house for a few more days? It's great to serve you with delicious food and drink."

"I can't stay. I have to find a job when I come back. I can't stay here all the time."

"Who is looking for a job so early? It takes fifteen years for a restaurant to find a chef."

I said: "Contact me in advance, after the fifteenth day, I deserve to be gone."

Sit down to dinner with her and learn about the tavern along the way.She said that the tavern's business had been very good years ago, with more than two thousand a day.At the same time, sister Jiang’s cousin, who followed her to learn how to smoke, can now operate it by himself, and there is nothing wrong with smoking.Sister Jiang’s cousin’s daughter-in-law can learn how to make dumplings from Ye Yurong, and she has become an apprentice.Now Ye Yurong is only in charge of making stuffing and kneading noodles. After the Chinese New Year, he will find another dumpling maker and conduct training in advance to prepare for the second store.

I said, "Then you and Sister Jiang won't have any money left for a month."

"It's okay, there's not much left, and that's better than part-time jobs. Just wait until the second store opens, but the two stores will earn money together, and it will come back in a few months." She said confidently.

"You and Sister Jiang are two people who do things, and the tavern can be run in the hands of you two." I said.

"It's mainly because of your help. Boss, I'll toast you." She raised her glass.

Had a sip with her.

"Sister Jiang wants you to go to Fuxin, saying that you are a good person and a loyal friend." She put down her glass and said.

I said: "There is time, there is time to pass."

"Sister Ye went home for the New Year, she said she didn't want to see you, and asked me to bring you a treat." She said.

"Thank her for me," I said.

"Sister Ye is a nice person. A few years ago, Sister Jiang introduced a man to her. That man was okay. He sold grain and oil in the market. He was also divorced and had no children," she said.

I asked, "Did the two meet and see?"

"Look, the man pretended to come to the tavern to eat, and Sister Ye watched it. I think Sister Ye has something in mind." She said.

"Nowhere before?" I asked.

"When we met, it was almost the new year, and then I was busy with the New Year's affairs. No matter how you say it, the two of you will be in the new year. This time, the two of you will get along again at work. I think it's good."

"The man's home is local?"

"Well, the local ones used to work in the mines, and then they were laid off and started selling grain and oil. They can make a living."

"That's okay." I nodded, and then said to her: "Now Li Shuang is married, and Zhang Li is expected to get married on May [-]st this year. The three of you are short of you. You have to hurry up."

"I'm not in a hurry. There's no need to be in a hurry. Fate will come naturally. It's useless to be in a hurry. Let's build the tavern first." She said.

"If there is a suitable one, it should be dealt with. After all, you can't live alone, right?" I said.

"Actually, it's good to be alone, but I want a child. It's a pity that a woman won't be a mother for the rest of her life." She said.

"If you want a child, find one quickly. Having a child is a matter for two people, and you can't do it alone." I said, thinking of the boss of Huofenghuang, and asked her, "Did the boss of Huofenghuang visit you?"

She replied: "No, never. I don't have any feelings for him. He told me to invite me to drink tea several times, but I didn't agree. I guess I didn't have the intention to give up." Then she continued: " By the way, Huofenghuang is currently being refurbished, I passed by and saw that it was dismantled in a mess."

I said, "Not all the decorations are the same, so you have to tear down new ones and you won't be able to install them."

"Is that landlord looking for you again?" she asked.

"No, I don't plan to work in Fuxin anymore. There are suitable workers in the provincial capital. They are close to home and can take care of their wives and children," I said.

"Actually, boss, I really admire you. You cook well, manage well, talk and do things well, make friends with loyalty, and show loyalty." She said.

"It's not like what you said, we're just a cooking cook." I said with a smile.

"Humility." She said: "Sister Jiang and Sister Ye, I, and I have nothing to do when we go back at night. I often chat with you. In fact, you just don't want to be the head chef in Huofenghuang. If you want to be the head chef, there is nothing wrong with that. Sister Ye started doing massages, and she wouldn't know how to make pasta without you. She would talk about you if she had nothing to do, saying that you are her noble person."

I said: "Really? It is fate that people can meet together. No matter male or female, if they can help, I can't help her. She just wants to make pasta, and I know people." , it was just a coincidence."

"Then you can do it too. I remember the first time I saw Sister Ye, she just came out of the police station, and you took it out. At that time, I thought you had something to do with her. If there was nothing wrong, I couldn't take her , Later she told me that the two of you met during the massage. You went to the massage, and she gave you the massage. You didn’t know it was a fellow until you chatted. It didn’t matter before. She was caught in the big investigation , Called you, she didn't expect you to pick her up, you went anyway, she is always grateful to you for this matter, saying that you are a loyal person, it's interesting."

But there is this matter. If Zheng Jiaqi didn't have this matter, she wouldn't be able to get to know Ye Yurong. If she didn't know Ye Yurong, her fertility problem would not be resolved.It seems that there is a destiny in the dark, and it happened to meet the person that should be met at that time.

My explanation is fate.

If there is a destiny in this life, we will meet each other, and if there is no destiny in this life, we will not owe it in the next life.

If I am Ye Yurong's nobleman, then Ye Yurong is Zheng Jiaqi's nobleman.

I chatted with Zheng Jiaqi a lot, but I didn't expect that she was also a person who talked a lot after drinking, she usually seemed to be quiet, and she talked endlessly after drinking.I talk a lot after drinking, and sometimes I talk too much, because this Lin Yan doesn't talk less about me, so I pay attention to myself when drinking, and don't talk too much.

Drinking words hurt people.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. At the wine table, he didn't know that the sentence hurt someone.I know that I have this problem, so I seldom talk about work and people at the wine table, try to talk about mysterious things, not idle words, and more nice things, not bad things.

"Boss, do you think I was in a daze that day, I ran to your room after going to the bathroom, and slept half the night with my arms around you." She brought up the embarrassing incident that day, and it seemed that she had drunk too much.

I said, "You're sleepy."

"I just felt that I went to the wrong room, I didn't think about anything, I just lay down on the bed and fell asleep." She said.

I asked, "Did Sister Ye and Sister Jiang not ask you after I left?"

"No." She said, "But I guess Miss Ye might have woken up a long time ago. When I went back to the room, she looked at me and smiled. Her smile made me hairy."

I said, "You are guilty of a crime."

"Maybe, but after you left, she asked me, she didn't look at you in the morning, where did you go? I was crazy at the time, and I went to your room to see if you were up as you said. What did you say she said?"

"What did she say?" I asked.

"Did she say so? She went in her pajamas? She didn't even wear a bra? I'll finish it as soon as I hear it. I guess she knows."

"What did you say?" I asked.

"I didn't react right away, and I couldn't speak when I opened my mouth." She said.

"You're stupid enough." I laughed.

"It's stupid enough." She said: "Fortunately, she didn't ask any more questions, and just said that it's really comfortable to sleep with your arms around you, you are chubby and sensual."

I laughed out loud.

It's interesting to think about what happened that day when nothing happened, but I can still encounter such embarrassing things in my life.

Although he is not a gentleman, he will not take advantage of others.

I just want to come to the fragrance and leave a touch of aftertaste.
