The story of a cook

Chapter 516

Speaking of Hebei, I can think of how Zhou Lan and Yao Liying got together.

"Didn't he know Hebei? He didn't seem to know you then?" Zhou Lan said.

"If I didn't know him then." I said.

She said: "Later, the Yellow River Hotel was relocated. I was fine. I called him. He was working in Xiaoying's karaoke hall at that time. That's how he introduced me there. I met Xiaoying there. .”

"I said so." I said.

Yao Liying warmed up the dumplings and served them, then sat down next to Zhou Lan, poured a glass of wine, and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"

"How did we know each other?" Zhou Lan said.

"It's fate that our two sisters met." Yao Liying said to me, "Didn't expect us to be together?"

I said, "I didn't expect that." Then I asked curiously, "Why did you two come to Binhai?"

"I told you last time, but I didn't tell you the details." Zhou Lan said, "I arrived at Xiaoying's and worked there for a year. Later, the karaoke business wasn't very good, and the boss didn't plan to do it anymore. The main reason is that the lady can't do it."

"The main reason is that Sister Meng is on the list, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do that." Yao Liying said.

I have an impression of the sister Meng she mentioned, the one with the boss's big brother Tie Zi.

Zhou Lan said: "At that time, I was fine in the karaoke hall, and the boss treated me well. After his sister Tie Zimeng left, he took away a lot of girls. I will go home and bring back a few girls from my house. You know , the lady from my house stood at attention, she was beautiful, especially the one from Daqing, she was the best. So the karaoke hall was opened for another year, and then the provincial capital cracked down hard. Come to the beach."

The three of us had a drink.

She continued: "I brought five young ladies here. At that time, Xiaoying didn't come and went home."

"Yes, I went home just in time for my mother to be sick." Yao Liying said.

"It was not easy when I first came here. I didn't know anyone. I worked in a small karaoke hall first. I didn't make much money. I spent every day doing it with other girls just because I was on stage."

Speaking of this week, Lan smiled, and habitually lit a cigarette.

"I don't look like a fighter, do I?" she asked me.

"Not like." I said.

"When you are not pushed, you will do everything." She said: "Miss is not easy to do. If you are honest, you will be bullied. You will not be able to get your turn. If you don't move for a day, you will have to run away. Didn't make a penny. I'd do it with them then, you see—"

She stretched out her right leg, a bouquet of roses was tattooed on her calf, the branches were brown, and a blooming rose at the top of the branch was lifelike.

"Brother Tan, touch the flower branch." She said.

I reached out and touched it, and it felt three-dimensional.

"It was cut by someone with a knife. Thirty stitches were done to make the scar. It was a gas pattern. It looks pretty good if you didn't think about it, isn't it?" She asked with a smile.

Looking at the roses on her lap, she felt indescribable.

"There's more."

She turned her face to the side and lifted the long hair around her ear, revealing a six to seven centimeter long scar behind her ear.

"It's also for people to use a knife to fix it." She said.

When she said it was very light, but my feeling was very heavy.I don't know what she has experienced in these years. It is conceivable that it is not easy.

"In the first two years when I first came here, I kept messing with others. There was nothing I could do. If I came alone, I would bring five ladies with me. I can't do it." She smiled and said Picking up the wine glass, he said, "When do people say what they say, when they cross a river and take off their shoes, if you don't want your life, other people's lives will be valuable, and they will start to be afraid of you. Come, have a drink."

"Sister Lan has been fighting so hard that men are afraid. She hasn't fought much in the past two years." Yao Liying said after putting down her wine glass.

"I can't fight anymore." Zhou Lan said with a smile: "Still fighting all the time? It's a harmonious society." After speaking, she laughed.

The three of us all came out of Shengmei Hotel. In ten years, a lot has changed.Now the Shengmei Hotel is gone, and I have been separated from the eldest, second and fourth children for many years.The boss and the second child are no longer in the catering business. During the period, they changed their phone numbers and could not be reached. The fourth child and I are still working and in contact with each other.

Hebei, whom I knew at the beginning, has also lost contact, and the second younger sister, Haina, has long since lost news.Zhou Lan and Yao Liying hadn't been in touch for ten years, and thought they would never see each other again, but they met in Binhai, drinking and chatting at the same table, feeling very emotional.

Those who came out to work at the beginning all hoped that they would have a good future, but who knew where they would go?
The variety of life has created different experiences and different lives for many people.

Everyone has different experiences and has their own life trajectory. If meeting and acquaintance in life is a fate, then from the day we met, there is a trace in each other's life, leaving a point of fate.When different life trajectories are running forward, they will meet again at that point of fate one day, so there is a reunion.

The ancients said that there are four great happy events in life, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, the time of the gold list, the rain after a long drought, and the old acquaintance in a foreign land.The reunion with Zhou Lan and Yao Liying in Binhai now is like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country among the four happy events.

The three of us drank a lot and chatted a lot.

Talking about working in Shengmei, many memories are very happy and memorable.Although it is unbearable, time is the best healing medicine. As the years go by, everything becomes a memory and a story.

Zhou Lan asked about the second child and told her everything I knew.She said that the second child is a good person, but she and the second child are not in the same way, and they are destined not to be together in this life.

Yao Liying asked about Li Jianhan, but I don't know much about Li Jianhan, so she just asked.It can be seen that a woman will remember the man who paid for it for the first time for the rest of her life-although it is hate.

After talking about the past, talk about the present.I told them about my situation.

"Brother Tan, your sister-in-law takes care of the children by herself and goes to work. She's amazing." Zhou Lan said.

"Well, she is very powerful, I admire." I said.

"Bring your sister-in-law to Binhai and find her a job here, so as not to have to live in two places," Yao Liying said.

I said, "I don't think about it now, my family is in the provincial capital, so I don't want to bother."

"Binhai's development is better than that of the provincial capital. What's the point of breaking the provincial capital?" Yao Liying said.

"It is true that the development of Binhai is better than that of the provincial capital, but I think it is better than the provincial capital. It may be that I have stayed for a long time, and I feel a little bit at home. I always feel that I am in another place." I said. .

"Yes, I also have this feeling." Zhou Lan said.

"Brother Tan, it's okay if you and my sister-in-law are not together, and the relationship will fade." Yao Liying said.

"No way, it's important to make money now." I said, a little helpless.

"Don't you miss my sister-in-law?" Yao Liying asked.

"Can you not think about it? What can I do if I think about it, I don't make money." I said.

"Yes, there is no way." Zhou Lan said.

Yao Liying laughed, and joked, "If you can't help it, just find a woman. Anyway, my sister-in-law won't come to check the work this far."

I smiled and shook my head.

"It's okay Brother Tan, if you want to find a girl, I'll arrange one for you," Yao Liying said.

"You brother Tan has no money, and you still have to support your family." I said.

"That is to say, to be honest, let me tell you Brother Tan, many chefs in restaurants have gone to karaoke bars to find girls, and some even have sex with girls. I know a few of them," she said.

"I can't, I don't have that hobby." I said.

After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was already one o'clock in the middle of the night, I told the two of them that I would chat again when I had time, and then I left and went back to the dormitory.

In the eyes of others, the two of them are young ladies and will be looked down upon.In my eyes, the two of them are friends, and there is no meaning to look down on them.I work as a chef to survive and support my family, and the two of them are young ladies to survive and support our family.Although the industries the two of them were engaged in were criticized by others, neither of them was born to be a lady.

Laugh at the poor but not at the prostitute.

Every industry exists for a reason.

I can't say yes, and I don't look down on it psychologically.Brothels have existed since ancient times, and it is the brothels that are wrong, not necessarily the women in the brothels.Otherwise, there wouldn't be "Du Shiniang" singing endlessly.

With the existence of an industry, there will be practitioners in this industry. If it is not for life, no one will sell themselves or sell themselves.

Cooking is the capital I rely on for survival. They use their bodies as capital, but in different forms.

But they are my friends.

The old man and Wang Hong's husband went to Shanghai to pick up the car last month, and they picked up a new-style RV with a cost of 120 million.There is no such RV in Binhai, but the old man's is the first one.

After the car was picked up, the old lady was also very happy, and just wanted to go back to her hometown in Tieling, so she asked Mrs. Wang Hong to drive her back.It may be that Wang Hong's husband was too cautious about this car, or he was not too familiar with it. On the way back to Tieling, he suddenly lost control of the steering wheel and hit the guardrail on the side of the road. The car was damaged, and the old lady directly sent it to the provincial capital The hospital, although nothing major happened, was also quite frightened.

In a rage, the old man fired Wang Hong's husband.

The same is true of Wang Hong's husband, if he is fired, he will copy it, and he can tell Wang Hong, not only did he not say anything, but he went back to his hometown in Tieling without even calling Wang Hong.It was already the third night after the car accident happened when Wang Hong knew about it.

"Chef, do you think I'm still working?" Wang Hong asked me.

"You decide for yourself." I said, "It was your husband who had the accident, not you."

"Did you tell me there is such a person?" She said, "It's the third day, and he just called me and ran back."

I said, "I just found out about this. He may be afraid that you will worry."

"Fart, he is afraid that I will scold him."

"You are too strict, he is afraid of you."

"It's fine if you're afraid of me. You don't have to think about anything when you're driving."

"Then is he coming back?"

"Why come back now, the old man doesn't need him anymore."

"Oh."

She asked again, "Do you think I'm still working here?"

I said: "Didn't I tell you just now, it's up to you to decide, and the old man didn't say no to you."

"Is it okay if I keep doing it?" She asked worriedly.

"What's the matter? Is this going to implicate the whole family?" I said.

"That's not good, the old lady is still in the hospital, and the car is quite expensive, and it's still a new car," she said.

"I heard that the old lady was fine, but I was scared. The car was fine, it was insured, and it didn't hit anything."

"That's not good. It's okay if you don't know about it. If you know about it, you'll always feel awkward and uncomfortable."

"It's up to you to decide. I can't make the decision, but one thing is for sure. The old man won't say no to you. If that's the case, he's too narrow-minded. I don't think so."

"Who knows?" She was a little undecided, and continued: "I'd like to do it here, and it just went well."

"If you want me to say that you do it first, it should be fine." I said.

"I'm in a mess right now." Then she began to complain about her husband: "What did you say you were running? You bumped into me. What can you do? You didn't dare to come back, so you went straight to Tieling, knowing that he called me What did you say?"

"What did you say?" I asked.

"He said that the car crashed, and the old man didn't need him anymore. He told me to do it if I wanted to, and not to do it if I didn't want to. It's up to me."

"Isn't he afraid of you talking about him?"

"How can there be such a thing, he is not an old man, living with him will make you angry, it is nothing, and he ran away by himself in an accident, leaving the child and wife here, saying that he will never live with him."

"Calm down, it won't happen," I said.
