The story of a cook

Chapter 553
According to news reports, the heavy snow caused a large area of ​​NMG to be affected, and many cattle and sheep were frozen to death.Many greenhouses in the provincial capital and around the coast were crushed and collapsed, causing huge economic losses to vegetable farmers.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, natural disasters, human irresistible.

Xianglong found me and told me that his family raised a lot of sheep, and they all grazed in the pasture. This time, the pasture was covered by heavy snow, and the grass in his family’s stock was not enough to eat. He needed to buy grass and wanted to borrow some money from me.I asked him how much he borrowed, and he said 2000, which will be paid back to me when the fund is opened.Give him the only [-] yuan left on his body, and ask him to send it back to his family immediately.

The new year is coming soon, and these two days have been preparing for the new year.With last year's experience, this year's work is very easy. All departments know what to do, and the preparations are done without saying a word.

Last time, the nephew of a fellow Japanese who works in the Public Security Bureau called me and asked me to reserve a private room for ten people for him, and he came over for dinner at night, and asked me to arrange the food.Asked him whether it was a treat or a family reunion, he said he was inviting a colleague, and prepared according to 500 yuan.

I arranged fourteen dishes, three dumplings, a total of 450 yuan, and a large fruit plate and a catty of old wine as a gift.They ate very happily. When they left, they saw a big gift bag on the booth at the front desk. They thought it was very good. They ordered 380 copies of [-] and planned to distribute it to comrades during the Chinese New Year.

"Brother Ma, it seems that you mean what you say." I said with a smile.

"It's up to you, those who serve others, and during the Chinese New Year, give some benefits to the brothers." He said.

Since people don't want to say what their position is, let's not ask, it is probably a leader.

"Come over when you have time, and bring my sister-in-law too. Brother treats you, let's have a drink." I said.

"Okay, I have time." He said, "I always eat at your new restaurant, which is closer to the work unit, but to be honest, the food in the new restaurant is not as good as the old one, but the quality is higher."

I said: "New stores are fine, if you don't like to eat there, call me, and I will prepare them for you in advance."

After a few more polite words, he left the deposit for the big gift bag and left.

"You know Lao Tan?" Manager Chen walked up to me and asked.

"My fellow, we are from Beipiao." I said.

"Knew what you were doing here?" she asked.

"No, I just met." I replied.

"I thought you guys knew each other a long time ago. What are you doing? You're quite rich. Order thirty gift bags at once."

"I really don't know what they are doing, but I know it belongs to the Public Security Bureau."

"It looks like an official."

I smiled and said nothing.

"Old Tan, do you think Xiaonian can sell for [-] yuan?" she asked.

"Probably about the same." I said.

"If we sell 20 new stores, we need to sell [-]."

"Should be able to, the new store is big, 20 is not a problem."

"I heard that Xiaomei is doing very well now, and dancing has started in front of her house."

I said, "Really? I don't know. I didn't hear her say that she also learned how to dance from you. You are a good teacher."

She smiled and said, "Old Tan can still talk." Then she asked me, "Have something to drink at night? Boss Wang, the three of us."

I declined and said, "I don't want to drink. I have a bad stomach recently, so I dare not drink."

It's not that he doesn't want to drink, but that he doesn't want to drink with her and Mr. Wang, because there are rumors in the restaurant that the two of them are very close and have a close relationship.

"What's wrong with your stomach? You still don't drink. Are you unwilling to drink with me?" she asked.

"How can I, I really have a bad stomach."

"You are short of wine, just drink more."

I laughed and went back to the kitchen.

As if today was a day for drinking, Zhou Lan called me just after entering the kitchen and asked me if I was off work, so I went to eat hot pot at her place after get off work.Hot pot is still very tempting. I haven't eaten it for a year, so I think about it.

Bringing two pig's trotters and a portion of arhat belly, I took a taxi to Zhou Lanna. As soon as I entered the door, Yao Liying gave a warm hug with a smile, and then kissed her on the face and said, "Dead man, you will disappear after sleeping with him."

"Don't make trouble, how scary." I said.

She laughed, took the pig's trotter from my hand and said, "Pig trotter, my favorite."

Zhou Lan has already prepared the hot pot and is waiting for me.

The three of us sat down and had fun.

"You two are cooking hot pot at home, who will watch in the Internet cafe?" I asked.

"There is someone, the network administrator is here." Yao Liying said.

"How is it? Are there many people?" I asked.

"It's not bad. The business is very good. The main thing is that my family has complete procedures and a business license. Now there is a big search for Internet cafes. Those who don't have a business license will not be allowed to open." Zhou Lan said.

"Brother Tan, this Internet cafe is suitable for the two of us. Now the business license of the Internet cafe has not been issued, and it will be managed by the cultural department in the future. It is said that it will be difficult to make troubles." Yao Liying said.

"Then you two picked it up." I said.

"Well, I picked it up." Zhou Lan said happily: "My current business license is worth at least 30 yuan."

"Okay, to celebrate that you two picked it up, drink one." I suggested.

Really, what kind of blessings do you have, why don’t I have such a good life, people earn 30 or 30 in an Internet cafe, and I earn [-] a month, and I have to struggle for four and a half years without eating or drinking.

The two of them can be regarded as the best of hardships, ten years of dust and smoke in the fireworks alley, and once they raise their eyebrows, they will come out of the dust.

Back then Yao Liying was a little girl, and she was hired from the labor market to a hotel. When she met Li Jianhan, her life changed and she embarked on the path of becoming a young lady.Zhou Lan is the second daughter-in-law. After divorcing the second child, she started to be a young lady and became the eldest sister. She has worked hard in Binhai for ten years.

The last time I drank too much with the two of them, I slept in Yao Liying's room all night, which was very embarrassing, so why don't I drink too much today.

Yao Liying gnawed on a pig's trotter, looking greedy.

"Brother Tan, why did you run away last time?" she asked.

"What is running, not going to work?" I said.

"I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"Don't talk nonsense, we are innocent."

Zhou Lan smiled and said, "Who knows, one of you said nothing, and the other said everything. I don't know who to listen to."

"I am more wronged than Dou E." I said.

"Don't complain, I will make it up for you today"

This girl Yao Liying doesn't care about what she says, and she has a professional relationship all year round. She said that things between men and women are already very common.

After gnawing on one pig's trotter, she stretched out her hand to grab the second one, then withdrew her hand, picked up the wine glass and said, "Don't eat it now, drink, save it for last."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay to the end." Zhou Lan said.

"Hee hee, it's been a long time since I've eaten, I'm thinking about it." Then he said, "Drink one, I'm happy today, the three of us won't go home until we're drunk."

Apart from the people I brought with me in Binhai, the two closest to me are the two of them.

"Brother Tan, are you going home for the New Year?" Zhou Lan asked.

"No, the restaurant is busy during Chinese New Year." I said.

"If you don't go home to our New Year's Eve, it happens that neither of us will go back, and the three of us will spend it together." Yao Liying said.

"Look, I have to stay with the staff at the hotel, and I might not make it," I said.

"Come on, otherwise, Sister Lan and I would be boring, and it would be interesting for you to come and spend time together." Yao Liying said.

"You two watch the Spring Festival Gala at home." I said.

"Just watch the Spring Festival Gala. You can't eat dumplings until twelve o'clock and set off firecrackers? You can still make dumplings for us when you come, or we won't even be able to eat dumplings." When it came to eating dumplings, she immediately pretended to be pitiful Xiang, "Come on, please, look how pitiful me and Sister Lan are, we can't even eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year."

Zhou Lan and I laughed.

"If you don't say anything, you agree. Let me tell you, Brother Tan, if you don't come at thirty, I'll go to the restaurant and make trouble for you. I can guess what you can imagine, hehe, hehe."

A threatening expression on his face.

After eating the hot pot, it was past eleven o'clock, and I didn't drink too much, so I easily took a taxi and went back to the dormitory.

When I entered the dormitory, I found that Sister Ma was asleep on the bed. There was a box of dumplings and a dish on the table. I ate a few dumplings, but the dish was not moving. There was also a wine glass. Pick it up and smell it. It is white wine.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she couldn't bear to cry out, and it would be inconvenient for her to sleep here if she didn't cry out.

It may be that I made a noise when I entered the room, and Miss Ma woke up.

"Back?" She sat up from the bed and asked, with a lazy expression on her face.

There is a kind of taste that the husband returns home after drinking outside, and the wife wakes up in the middle of the sleep to greet her husband.

"Well, go to sleep." I said.

"Fell asleep in a daze. What did you do? Ask them that you took a taxi after get off work." She asked.

"I went to eat hot pot with my friend." I said.

"Come here." She said to me.

When I came to her, she sniffed me and said, "I'm with a girl."

For a moment, I smelled it myself, but I didn't smell anything.

"It's not feminine either," I said.

She gave me a blank look and said, "Not yet, it's all feminine, tell me, with whom?"

"friend."

"I don't know they are friends yet, what kind of friends? I haven't heard you mention it."

"It's the one that fought on Binhai Avenue in summer, from the provincial capital." I said.

She thought for a while and said, "I heard that she looks pretty, but she's sexy."

I nodded, "It's okay."

"You didn't have anything to do with her, did you?" She asked worriedly.

"You'll know it if you don't smell it."

"Go, I'm out of shape, and it's the same with your sister. I don't care about anything." She said sourly.

"It can't be anything, she is the ex-wife of one of my buddies, and they were together before." I said.

She believed what I said.

"Since I'm back, I'll have some food with you. You haven't come back yet. I drank half a glass of wine by myself and lay in bed for a while. I didn't want to fall asleep."

I said, "Sister, do you know what you look like now?"

"Like what?"

"Like a little daughter-in-law waiting at home for her husband to come back."

She blushed and said, "I'm joking with your sister too, do you want to be your daughter-in-law?"

"Yes, who wouldn't want such a good wife." I said.

She looked at me for a long time, and then said: "What's wrong with me, I'll tell you everything, I have to be more careful in the future."

"Know why not?"

"What?"

"You have me in your heart."

"Go, is there someone else without you? Don't talk about it, go back to sleep."
