The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 78 Apprenticeship and Love

The winter solstice exhausted everyone. Two young waiters at the front desk had blisters on their feet and did not come to work the next day.

After the regular meeting in the morning, Li Shuang and Hua Qing stood in front of the bar and chatted.

"Did you call the boss?" Li Shuang asked.

"No, you didn't fight either?" Hua Qing asked.

Li Shuang shook his head and said, "Call him now and report on our brilliant victories."

Old Tan was very happy when he heard that the winter solstice sold for [-] yuan, which was both expected and unexpected.As expected, it should sell a lot, but unexpectedly, I didn't expect to sell so many.

After talking on the phone with Lao Tan, Li Shuang asked Hua Qing: "You said the boss will not come back?"

Hua Qing said: "It is certain to come back, but it is not certain whether I can work here."

"Let's quit if the boss quits." Li Shuang said.

"Then what are you waiting for if you don't withdraw, it's necessary." Hua Qing said.

Li Shuang looked at Hua Qing with admiration, and said, "It's the first time I've heard you speak so well."

"Hehe, there are people who want to listen to you, but unfortunately I can't tell you, do you know why?" Hua Qing asked.

"Why?" Li Shuang knew that Hua Qing had nothing good to say, but he was in a good mood, so he asked cooperatively.

"Zhu Bajie and her second aunt only eat wild food!"

After Hua Qing finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen, Li Shuang was not angry, and smiled and threw the ordering shelf away.

Although the winter solstice has passed, there are quite a few people who eat dumplings. Some of them didn’t eat them yesterday and came back today to make up for them. Some came here for the first time yesterday and they ate very well and came again today.

After Lao Tan answered Li Shuang's call, he called Yanhua and told her to have a dinner with the staff at night and pay some bonuses.Yanhua asked how much the bonus would be.Lao Tan said that the management personnel are [-] each, and the employees are [-] each.

Yanhua agreed to come down, and when the store talked to Yanzi about it, Yanzi also agreed.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yanhua notified Li Shuang that she would no longer receive guests and began to have dinner.

Three tables were set up in the lobby, and all the employees were present. First, the two bosses made brief speeches, and then distributed bonuses.The employees were very happy to receive the bonus and expressed their gratitude to the boss.

I was tired yesterday, and everyone was not in the mood to eat. Today, we all let go of the amount and ate openly. The atmosphere is very lively.

After ordering Mengmeng, the little girl was well-behaved and sensible, she picked up the wine glass and walked up to Wang Hong, and said, "Aunt Wang, I would like to toast you, thank you for taking care of me."

Wang Hong smiled and said, "I didn't take care of you, the main reason is that you want to learn."

The two touched glasses and drank down.

Li Shuang, who was sitting next to Wang Hong, said, "Meng Meng, don't you want to worship your Aunt Wang as your teacher? Why, you haven't worshiped until now?"

The little girl blushed a little and said, "I want to worship, but Aunt Wang has never accepted me."

"What a nice little girl, Miss Wang, are you still accepting her?" Li Shuang asked with a smile.

"I dare to be a master with these two brushes? Don't delay other people's children." Wang Hong said.

She likes this little girl, Meng Meng, smart, sensible, well-behaved and beautiful, and even wants her to be her daughter-in-law.But if I like it, I like it, and I feel that I am not good enough to be someone's master.

Li Shuang also likes Meng Meng. When the little girl came to apply for the job, she thought she was a waiter, but she didn't think she was applying for a dumpling worker.For this reason, I even talked to Meng Meng alone, but unfortunately, Luo Hua intends to be ruthless, so he just doesn't do it.

She wanted to fulfill Meng Meng, and said to Wang Hong, "Meng Meng sincerely begs you, so I will accept it."

Hua Qing was surprisingly in agreement with Li Shuang, and chimed in, "Sister Wang, I see Meng Mengxing, so you can accept it."

Yanhua also said beside him, "Meng Meng is so kind, take it, Miss Wang."

As the saying goes, listening to people's persuasion to eat enough, Wang Hong saw that everyone was persuading her, and her heart became a little active, so she couldn't help but look at Meng Meng with her master's eyes.

Li Shuang took the opportunity to say to Meng Meng: "Meng Meng, what are you doing, hurry up and worship—"

The little girl came to her senses all of a sudden, and she knelt on the ground in front of everyone with a "plop", kowtowed three times in a row, and then shouted at Wang Hong, "Master!"

This kneeling made the two of them become masters and apprentices.

Saying "Master", from then on, the relationship is no longer normal.

Wang Hong never thought that Meng Meng would kneel down to worship her teacher, which shocked and excited her.
Something hot comes out.

When she shed tears, Meng Meng also shed tears——
The scene is very touching.

Everyone present was very moved, and their shallow eye sockets were moist.

"Oh, it's too touching, I can't stand it, I have to take in an apprentice too." Li Shuang shouted, wiping his eyes with his hand.

"You, don't even think about it in this life." Hua Qing hit Li Shuang immediately.

Everyone laughed.

Because the episode of Meng Meng's apprenticeship brought the dinner to a climax, everyone laughed and toasted each other, and it was very lively.

A restaurant is a place full of youth and vigor. The older people are affected by the young people and become several years younger, and their mentality becomes similar to that of young people, and they do not feel old.

As long as people are not old in mind, age is just a number.

Most of the restaurant workers are from the countryside, and they are inherently simple and honest, as thick as loess.These rural children don't have those twists and turns. If you treat him well, he will treat you ten times and a hundred times better in return, and he will remember it forever.You play tricks with him, maybe you don't know it once or twice, but after you know it, you will remember you for the rest of your life.

Wang Hong was in a good mood because she had accepted her apprentice. Fang Jianjun invited her to sing when she was going to the dormitory after dinner, and she readily agreed.But the two of them didn't go to sing. Wang Hong didn't know how to sing. In order not to hurt Fang Jianjun's face, he said to walk around casually, and it happened that the weather was not cold.

The two walked along Wanfang Road towards Huanghe Street.

Fang Jianjun walked behind Wang Hong, and Wang Hong smiled in front, thinking that this man was too shy, and he dared not even walk side by side when asking out a girl, what a way.So he stopped and Fang Jianjun said: "What are you doing behind the scenes? I don't have a tiger tied to me. I can eat you."

Fang Jianjun blushed, smiled and said, "You are a tiger."

Wang Hong was amused by this dull man, and said as if ordering: "Let's go together, don't follow."

The two started side by side.

After walking for 5 minutes, no one spoke.

Fang Jianjun didn't know what to say, so Wang Hong waited for him to say it.But seeing that the man didn't speak, he felt a little annoyed.

"Why didn't you even say a word?" Wang Hong asked.

"I, I don't know what to say, I'm afraid you will be angry if I say something wrong." Fang Jianjun whispered.

"It's okay, just tell me, I'm not angry." Wang Hong said.

Fang Jianjun glanced at Wang Hong cautiously, and cheered himself up in his heart, before he opened his mouth and said, "I, I like you very much."

"Yes, just say it if you like it, don't hold it in your heart. We are all adults, there is nothing shameful, right." Wang Hong said.

"En." Fang Jianjun nodded.

"You are a nice person. I know it even if you don't tell me. To be honest, I don't like your type. It's too boring. We have been together for more than a year, and the overall feeling is not bad. You are honest, honest, nothing Bad-hearted." Wang Hong said.

"Then what do you mean—" Fang Jianjun looked at Wang Hong nervously.

Wang Hong smiled, this smile was like a blooming rose in Fang Jianjun's eyes, beautiful and dazzling.

"You know what I am like. I am careless, have a bad temper, are divorced and single, and my son is in the army. I don't need to worry about it. I am good at things now and have no burden. I know what you think, and you want to be friends with me. Let me tell you that I think about it, and you also think about it, let’s get along like this first, if you think it’s suitable, you can get together, if it’s not suitable, you’re still a friend, right?” Wang Hong said.

"What do you mean we can live together now?" Fang Jianjun blushed and his heart beat, but he still asked worriedly.

"Well, Virgo. You know me well, and I know you too. Only when the two of you are together can you know if they are suitable. Before you have a relationship, you think it's fine. There's nothing wrong with it. Even if you pretend, you can pretend for a few days. I’m a straight-talking person, so I’m not afraid of your displeasure. It’s good for you to look at me now, if you don’t care about me for a while, no, no, no.” Wang Hong said directly.

"No, you're a nice person, you won't take it too seriously." Fang Jianjun said quickly.

Wang Hong smiled lightly, and said: "Hehe, don't talk too hard, no one is interested in anyone else's heart. Both of us have been through the past, and we have both been hurt. We should be more cautious when we remarry. We understand each other thoroughly, and we both feel If there is nothing wrong with it, let’s get together again. To be honest, I can’t afford to be hurt. If I can’t meet the right one, I’d rather live alone than just let it go.

Don't think too much about these things, it's not for you, it's for everyone.You have a daughter, do you agree to find someone?This has to be considered. If the child disagrees, he can't find it, and it will be even more uncomfortable.I have nothing to do here. My son supports me in being friends. He said that as long as the person he finds treats me well, everything else comes second.I have a ready-made house, and when I retire in a few years, I will have old-age insurance, so it will be no problem to support myself. "

What Wang Hong said was clear, and Fang Jianjun could understand.When it comes to children, my heart tightens. To be honest, my daughter hopes that he will remarry and not let him find a stepmother for herself.

Seeing that Fang Jianjun was silent, Wang Hong said, "You are a good person. To be honest, I can't go wrong with someone like you. I'm in my forties, and I have to think about some things. I promise I can't live alone, but I can't just dig a basket. I have to find someone who can live my life wholeheartedly. I can't be a dog and a sheep, because it's good to have a hard time like that, and I still have a mood.

It is estimated that your daughter is not willing to let you find her, even if she is willing, it will be difficult to be a stepmother.Let me be honest, can you ignore your daughter?It is impossible to always ask her to follow her grandparents, and that is not the case.So you have thought about it, if my daughter disagrees, I advise you not to look for it, and I won't do it either.If the two of us partnered up for the sake of our mood, it would be meaningless, and if it delays you, it also delays me, so it won't make sense. "

Fang Jianjun thought for a while and said, "I can handle family affairs, and I will recognize you in this life."

Wang Hong felt hot in her heart, and said, "Think it over."

"Think about it."

"Don't be impulsive."

"No, don't worry."

"Then we'll be everywhere."

Two divorced middle-aged people are about to start their love.
