The story of a cook

Chapter 500 Four People Gathering
Getting busy in May.

Needless to say, these few days of the small holiday, the daily turnover did not drop to [-], the employees received bonuses every day, and few people ate the work meal at night.

Getting a bonus is a good thing, but it's also tiring. Standing on the stove and cooking all day without sweating, my whole body is always wet.The temperature in the kitchen is high. In order to cool everyone down, I applied to my aunt to wholesale four boxes of ice cream every day, and distributed them to everyone during the cooking peak to cool down.

At this time, coarse grains are sold for 5 yuan a day, which is similar to the old store.Selling coarse grains for 5 yuan is much easier than the old store, and it is almost the same as normal business. After all, the grade is higher than the old store, and the price of vegetables is also higher.For example, if you sell coarse grains for [-] yuan and fry [-] dishes, an old shop has to fry [-] dishes. The work intensity is different and it is very tiring.

After the small holiday, the amount of money sold has decreased, and it can still be sold for [-] a day.

Now selling [-] a day is normal business for an old store.

The business is good and the sales volume has increased. For Manager Chen and me, it is a test of our ability, which proves that we have done a good job and are capable.It is also a good thing for Mr. Wang. After all, he is in charge of the old store. Although he is only an assistant, he has a bright face.

Saturday, May [-]th.

It stands to reason that Saturday should be busy. The long vacation has just passed, and the food that should be eaten is almost eaten. The tourists have also returned, so the restaurant is not too busy.Mr. Wang suggested that Manager Chen and Zhou Xiaomei should sit down with the four of us in the evening.I know what he means, the business of the old shop is good, he has achievements in the eyes of the old man, and he wants to treat us to dinner.

It's not easy to go out to eat now, so he refused: "You three go, I won't go, I don't want to drink."

"Old Tan, you don't want to save face. You won't be asked to drink when you go, so why not accompany you?" Mr. Wang said.

"That's not going, I really don't want to drink, you three should drink."

"If you don't go, neither of them will go, and both of them will look at you."

I believe what he said. If I don't go to Manager Chen and Zhou Xiaomei, I won't go either. I vaguely become the backbone of both of them, and my words and deeds can influence them.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Go ahead, but I don't drink much, so I don't drink much now."

To be honest, I really don't drink much now.I don’t want to drink after I go back every day. Maybe it’s because I drank too much before, but now I feel like I don’t want to drink when I see alcohol.And the most important point is that I feel like I have been drinking, and my function in a certain aspect has declined.

To be honest, Lao Tan is also a human being, a normal man, can he not want to live without a husband and wife for four years?I want to, I really want to, but a married life is a married life, you have to live with your own wife, and living with someone else is cheating, so I dare not.When I first came to Binhai, I said to myself, hold back when you think about it, drink if you can't, and forget everything after drinking and sleeping, and it's over.

Are there any temptations for women outside?Yes, not only yes, but also very big, but for me, I can only endure it.

The traditional moral concept is deeply rooted, and you can't have sex with women other than your wife, that's a broken shoe.

But the reality is this - I really want to.

Last year, I drank wine for a year, some with Master Li, Accountant Cui, and Manager Chen, and the rest I drank by myself in the dormitory. After drinking this year, I found that some functions have disappeared—is it true? a joke?
Knowing that this is drinking, nearly a catty of liquor a day, and more than 300 catties a year, no one can stand it.I don't drink much recently, and I feel a lot better.So I summed up a piece of experience, if you want to avoid making mistakes between men and women, you have to drink alcohol.

The nickname of "Dionysus" is not for everyone.

But it’s better to drink less alcohol, too much will hurt your health, and when one day you can’t even live a married life, it’s normal for your wife to leave you—no one wants to be a widow.

I have to say that long-term living in the two places is definitely a test for the couple.It's not that anyone can't stand loneliness, but that real life is inherently cruel.Take the old shop as an example, except for the locals, like me, Master Du, two chefs of Northeast cuisine, three chefs of seafood, Meng Hongwei of cold dishes, etc., are all people with families, businesses and wives. Forced to live apart from his wife for a long time, can you not want to?What can I think, I still have to bear it.

The wife takes care of the children at home, and the old man has to work hard outside to earn money to support the family. This is a living reality.Everyone wants to live the life of a rich man, but you have to have that strength.Not only those who work in restaurants, but also those who work in construction sites and factories are like this. They only see their daughter-in-law once a year, and they have to leave home to continue working after a few days of heat. They live an unbearable life.

All migrant workers are similar, no matter what industry they are in.

Conscientious old men know that there is a married wife at home, and send money back home every month, so that the children and wives can live a comfortable life.Unconscionable, or men who can't resist temptation, find a woman outside to solve their intolerable problems, and there are also some who forget their wives and children at home, not a few.

Men are like this, women are also like this, they are all human beings, don't say anything about anyone else.

Good is good, bad is bad, and there is no easy distinction between good and bad.As a human being, they are all good people, and their hearts are not bad.In terms of morality, people who find their other half outside will be judged, even if they have not forgotten their wives or husbands at home, they will be judged.

As the saying goes, out of ten cooks, nine show off, and one doesn't show off.There is a basis for this sentence, and it is also related to the industry that chefs work in.Chefs work in the catering industry. The catering industry is not only the front desk, but also the kitchen. The people you come into contact with are not only the kitchen, but also the front desk. How many people are there at the front desk?There are many waiters, and the waiters are all women. They work with women all day long, and there will be troubles if nothing happens.

In order to earn more, chefs work in other places, and so do waiters.They all work in other places, without the shackles of their families, they will relax mentally, and it is normal for something to happen, which is not surprising in restaurants.

To be honest, Master Du and Lao Guo, I know this, they both have iron sons, and they are called good friends in Binhai.I know they have it, so I don't want to break it.Besides, what's the use of breaking it?Find one if you can.

People live well, and get along well with each other, just take what you need.They all have their own families, as long as they don't destroy their own families, this is the bottom line.The money earned has to be given to the daughter-in-law, and the lovers just eat a meal together, drink a drink, and open a room for a long time to meet each other's physical needs.But there are also feelings, but this relationship cannot rise to the level of divorce, if it rises to the level of divorce, it will not be a good relationship, it is an extramarital affair, emotional derailment.

I know these things, but I just can't do them.I am not a gentleman, and I want to find a woman, but I know what I am, so I don't have the capital.Since you don't have that capital, you should stay away from it. If you can't do it, you can drink and sleep as much as you can.This is the experience of so many years of general interpretation, so it belongs to the big wine bag guy.

Back then, Master Chen said that if I didn't drink so much, I would be with Li Yanhua.Now that I think about it, I think that's the case, but the matter has already passed, so it's useless to think about it.

It's even worse when you're drinking, and if you drink too much it's okay, go to bed right away.If I didn't drink too much and got excited, I would feel that if a woman tempted me, I would immediately surrender.

Men's willpower is very weak, especially in front of women.

A glass of wine can drink down the eternal sorrow.

A glass of wine can also be drunk and gentle.

After get off work, I, Mr. Wang, Manager Chen, and Zhou Xiaomei came to Hongfu, entered the small private room that had been reserved in advance, and ordered food. Mr. Wang took two bottles of relatively good liquor from the bar. The boss and the proprietress were very happy, because the two Bottles of wine are more expensive than the food you order.

"Old Tan, let's just drink two bottles today." Mr. Wang said, "I drank too much last time, and I threw up when I got home."

I said, "Two bottles are fine, so what's the point of drinking that much?"

Manager Chen said: "Don't drink too much today. Lao Tan sent me back last time. If Lao Tan doesn't send me back, I won't be able to go back."

I said, "You didn't drink too much last time, but you just couldn't walk."

Manager Chen said with a smile: "It's not good if you can't walk the road, and you don't make good use of the opportunities given to you."

"I thought about it. Aren't I afraid that my brother-in-law will beat me?" I said.

"Old Tan, I admire you. Manager Chen is a beautiful woman. You can't be tempted. You are amazing." Mr. Wang joked.

"What's a beauty? There's no beauty like Xiaomei, she's a beauty." Manager Chen said.

Zhou Xiaomei smiled, put her arms around Manager Chen and said, "Sister, you are the most attractive now, men will fall in love with you, let alone men, I will fall in love with you."

Manager Chen slapped Zhou Xiaomei and said, "Go, you're the only one who can speak."

Manager Chen and Zhou Xiaomei are sitting together. How should I put it, both of them are very beautiful, belonging to the beauty level.Manager Chen has the allure of a mature woman, while Zhou Xiaomei is glamorous.

While drinking, Mr. Wang said: "The new store is now fully under construction, and it is estimated that the renovation will be completed in more than three months."

"Three months? It's too late." Manager Chen said.

"It's not too late. Some merchants on the first floor have contracts that haven't expired, and they have to wait until they expire to move. They have been procrastinating until now." Mr. Wang said.

I asked, "Who is on the construction site now?"

Mr. Wang said: "Li Xingtang is here, and there is also a project manager."

"Where's the old man?" I asked.

"The old man sometimes goes to have a look, but he hasn't been there for a few days. I heard that he has returned to Tieling." Mr. Wang replied.

"The old man bought a hotel in Tieling to earn money, and he always went back." Manager Chen said.

I said, "It's tiring enough, at such an advanced age."

"Looking at the old man's age, he is more energetic than ordinary young people." Manager Chen said.

I said, "Yes, with spirit."

Mr. Wang said to Zhou Xiaomei: "I think you can transfer to the new store when it opens."

"I can't go." Zhou Xiaomei said directly: "When I came here, I didn't intend to separate from my uncle. I will be where he is. If we separate, I will go back."

"There is development in the new store, probably as a manager." Mr. Wang said.

"Then I can't go, I can be the foreman, and I can't do anything else." Zhou Xiaomei said.

Mr. Wang looked at Zhou Xiaomei. He thought that Zhou Xiaomei would be very happy to hear that she could be transferred to the new store, and would immediately agree. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaomei was not interested in being transferred to the new store, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Mr. Wang, tell them that I am not capable and can only be a foreman, which is suitable for an old store. I can't do it in a big store like a new one."

Mr. Wang said: "The old man has a crush on you, and he says you can do it."

Zhou Xiaomei smiled like a peach blossom.

"I have to go if he likes him? Let's put it this way, if Mr. Zhang is the boss there, I won't go. Besides, the kitchen is not in charge of my uncle, so I won't go. Such a big store, there is no cooperation It’s not easy for good people, especially for opening a business. If it’s successful, it should be done. If it’s not successful, it’s nothing. Everyone knows this, and I won’t go.” Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Then what if I used to be the boss?" Mr. Wang asked.

"I advise you not to go, you can't do it alone." Zhou Xiaomei said directly, a bit shocking.

Mr. Wang was not angry, put the topic down and started drinking.

All four of them drink a lot, and soon two bottles of baijiu went down.Mr. Wang said to have another bottle, but I said no more. If I want to drink, I can drink some beer and finish the job.

So I ordered a case of beer.

People who always drink baijiu drink beer as if they haven't drunk it, especially when the baijiu is half drunk, the more beer they drink, the more sober they become.In fact, I'm afraid of getting mixed up when drinking. It's okay when I'm drinking, but I'll have more when I'm done drinking.

A case of twelve bottles of beer was quickly consumed, and no one was upset, so Mr. Wang ordered another case.Beer drinkers love to go to the bathroom. Manager Chen couldn't hold back at first, and said that he was drinking well, and went to the toilet to drain the water. When he came back, he said that Wang Hong and Ma Shuli were drinking outside.I laughed when I heard it, and thought that these two women are really, they come out to drink at every turn, and they like to drink more than men.

After the second case of beer was finished, the battle was over.When they came out of the private room, Wang Hong and Ma Shuli finished their drinks and left without seeing them.

When we came outside, Zhou Xiaomei and I had nothing to do, and Mr. Wang and Manager Chen were in the same state as last time. First, take a taxi to Mr. Wang, tell him to go first, and then take a taxi to Manager Chen.Seeing that she was in a daze, she was a little worried, so she asked Zhou Xiaomei to take her back. After sending her home, she didn't have to come back, and lived directly at her house, and asked them to go to work together tomorrow.

After Zhou Xiaomei and Manager Chen got in the car and left, they started to go back to the dormitory. They walked 50 meters and were about to cross the road. Just as they lifted their right foot and stepped off the curb, they felt dizzy and fell down instantly.
