The story of a cook

Chapter 231 You Can't Be My Wife
I went to the dumpling restaurant with Zhang Li and Zhou Xiaomei.

The owner of Zonglai Dumpling Restaurant knew me and said, "Here we come."

I said, "Come here."

The boss joked, "Okay bro, there are always beauties with me."

I said: "It's not a good thing, when there is trouble."

The boss just laughed.

It's not a good thing for a man to be with women all the time, and it's enough for people not to gossip.Although it is said that the body is not afraid of slanting shadows, but if the light is wrong, sometimes the body will slant.In addition, every time I drink with a woman and go home, I feel guilty when I see Lin Yan. The meals on the table, whenever she sees the simple meals on the table, she knows that she is fooling around at home again. Thinking about drinking outside, a meal costs dozens, sometimes even hundreds of dollars, while My daughter-in-law only costs ten yuan for a meal at home, so I feel guilty and feel sorry for my daughter-in-law.

Although I don't often spend money, most of them are treats from others, but I feel uncomfortable.

Since becoming a chef with a salary of more than 500 yuan, my monthly expenses have also increased, reaching nearly 400 yuan.

I remember that at that time, there was one pack of cigarettes per day, Jiqing brand, two yuan and one box, and the monthly cigarette fee was 75.I don't drink much at home, so I pay 50 yuan a month for alcohol.30 yuan a month for paging is enough, and the rest is spent drinking with people outside. The average meal costs 80 to [-] yuan.This is not a big deal now, but it was not a small expense for me and Lin Yan at that time.

Lin Yan's monthly salary is 500 yuan, and our salary is 200 yuan. I spent 100 yuan, and the rent was 600 yuan. Lin Yan got [-] yuan for eating at home, and the water and electricity bills at home. The gas fee and cable TV fee add up to [-] yuan.It costs [-] yuan to buy some seasonal clothes and daily necessities, and the family only has [-] to [-] yuan left every month. If Lin Yan brings some for the family every month, it will be nothing.

Life is tight.

After the salary has increased to two thousand, life will be a little better, and the money will be more generous, but the long march is slow, and we have to continue to struggle.

Zhang Li looked at Zhou Xiaomei and asked, "Your surname is also Tan?"

Zhou Xiaomei said, "No, my surname is Zhou."

Zhang Li asked: "Then why do you call him Uncle?"

Zhou Xiaomei smiled and said, "My aunt is his sister-in-law. I followed my aunt's name. We are classmates in high school. I'm a year older than him."

Zhang Li looked at Zhou Xiaomei, then at me, and said, "I can't see that you two are still classmates."

I said: "There are so many things you can't see, you can see everything you want, come on, drink."

Soon, drink a glass of wine.

Zhang Li explained that she would go to work late tomorrow, so she would have another drink.Don't worry about Zhou Xiaomei's drinking capacity. If I really try to drink, I may not even drink her, so I have another drink.

I asked Zhang Li, "How are you doing there?"

Zhang Li said: "It's okay, it's pretty good. I'm mainly in charge of the VIPs on the third floor. The guests who go there are all quite dignified, so there's not much to do."

I said, "That's good." Then I asked, "How much does it cost to spend once in your VIP?"

Zhang Li said: "On average, one person gets [-]. That's not counting the lady's tip. The VIP lady's tip is expensive, and the lady's quality is also high. The average lady is a college student, and the next order has to be a junior college."

I laughed and said, "You have the lowest diploma there."

Zhang Li said: "There is no way, who told us not to study hard." Then said: "The diploma is low, but the management diploma is high. If anyone dares to yell at me, I will tell her to walk around."

Listening to my chat with Zhang Li, Zhou Xiaomei asked Zhang Li: "Sister, where do you work?"

Zhang Li said, "Sita, a hotel."

Zhou Xiaomei asked: "Your lady?"

Zhang Li said: "Take, Xita's family has a lady, and they can't live without a lady. Now they are not called a lady, but a public relations."

I said, "Public relations should sound better. In fact, Miss is an honorific name. Now it has become synonymous with prostitutes in the past. Miss should be rectified."

Zhang Li said, "Go and rectify, I think you will have to rectify for the rest of your life."

I said: "If you don't have that much time to spare, it's better to study two dishes and drink some wine."

Zhang Li smiled and said, "You can only drink alcohol."

I said: "Ma'am, please pay attention to your tone of voice. Why is it like my wife? If you know it, you will get it, but if you don't know it, you will think we are a couple."

Zhou Xiaomei laughed and said, "Seeing that you two really look like a husband and wife, I regarded you two as a couple from the beginning."

I said, "You haven't seen my wife. If you saw my daughter-in-law, you would know what a couple looks like."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Someday bring your wife and let me have a look."

I said, "Wait, you two will see each other sooner or later."

Zhang Li said: "Don't talk about Master Tan, I haven't seen your daughter-in-law for a long time. I really need to meet you when I have time. Let's see what your daughter-in-law looks like and what kind of person she is. Why are you so desperate?" of."

I said, "You'd better not see me."

Zhang Li asked, "Why?"

I said, "No reason."

Zhang Li said, "There must be a reason."

I said: "I know that there is a saying that says no, the question is the answer, do you understand?"

Zhang Li thought for a while, smiled, and said to me: "Old Tan, you wait, I will meet your wife when I am ready."

I said, "I'm afraid that before you are ready, there will be new preparations."

Zhou Xiaomei asked: "What are you two talking about? I'm confused. Can you stop playing charades?"

Zhang Li said: "Sister, your classmate is very rude, you'd better stay away from him in the future."

Zhou Xiaomei looked at me and said, "You don't know him as well as I do. We people in Beipiao are very affordable, and besides, he is not that kind of person."

Zhang Li looked at me and said, "Really? I really didn't see it."

I said, "Don't provoke me there. She and I are old classmates or relatives. Do you think she can believe you?"

Zhang Li said, "I can't help it. I'm alone and alone, so I can't speak for you two."

After drinking for a while, watching Zhou Xiaomei think of something, she said to Zhang Li: "By the way, your VIP has a waiter."

Zhang Li said: "There are also, just two, and the rest are all waiters."

I asked: "Will you not be harassed by customers when you are a waiter?"

Zhang Li said: "That's not true. The customers who go there are quite respectable. It's not embarrassing enough if you don't talk about it."

I pointed to Zhou Xiaomei and said, "Look at her, she can work as a waiter at your place."

Zhang Li looked at Zhou Xiaomei and said, "Do you want to be a waiter at my place?"

I said, "Can you speak well and tell you something serious."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Just after the Chinese New Year, the place will be relocated. Sister, I will work as a waiter at your place."

Zhang Li thought for a while and said, "It's okay to be a waiter at my place. The key is that you are so beautiful and tall. You are too aggressive. Then you have to make those passers-by go crazy."

Zhou Xiaomei smiled shyly and said, "I'm still pretty, if I have a sister who's half as pretty as you, I'll be content."

Zhang Li asked, "Am I pretty?"

Zhou Xiaomei said: "You are beautiful, not only beautiful but also very temperamental. At first glance, I thought you were Yang Lan."

Zhang Li smiled and said: "What kind of uncle or niece, who can speak so well, you say I'm beautiful, so why do some people dislike me, and don't ask me to be his wife, are you ignorant?"

Zhou Xiaomei said: "You have to ask him himself. It's useless to ask me. I know how to drink. Come on, sister, let's have a drink. You will feel like you when you see it. Drink with sister to increase your relationship. Later, we will drink again." I have to rely on you to take care of me."

Zhang Li and Zhou Xiaomei clinked glasses and took a sip each.

Zhang Li said: "Sister, who did you learn from with this mouth, so you can speak like that."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Aren't you going to be my little aunt? I don't know who I learned from."

Woman, I am completely convinced.

After drinking the second glass of wine, the battle ended, Zhou Xiaomei went back to the dormitory, and I went home with Zhang Li on my back.

She was sitting on the back seat of the car with her arms around my waist, and she put her head on my back, full of ambiguity.Same as Miss Jin that day.It would be a lie to say that there is no enjoyment, but there is a kind of enjoyment in the world called - enjoyment without blessings, and that is what it is about.

Zhang Li sighed in the back: "Hey, if you can't be your own husband, just pretend to be your own husband for a while, pretend to be a hug, and find a feeling."

I laughed and said: "You are not pretending to hug, you are really hugging."

"Just hug you for a while, just look at you like this, and don't eat you up."

I said: "I'm a normal man, be careful not to misfire, and it will be over by then."

She giggled, and said, "You can just talk about it, it would be great if you can shoot a gun, and I'll still pick up the treasure."

I said, "You——I'm talking about business with you. When the time comes to relocate here, you really have to arrange my classmate to work as a waiter at your place."

She said: "I think you two are not as simple as classmates. Say, do you want to hide your beauty in a golden house?"

I said, "You're stupid, that's my second sister-in-law's niece. How dare I? My second sister-in-law asked me to take care of her in the provincial capital. Don't worry if I quit here and arrange for you."

She said: "Okay, you can go anytime, but let me tell you, she is very beautiful, don't get kidnapped by me, and then ask me for someone."

I said, "No, she's older than me, she can't run away, she's not a child anymore, she doesn't understand anything."

She said: "That's fine, you can rest assured, I won't let you watch, just abduct her. I think she is also interested in you, and her eyes shine when she looks at you. According to my woman's intuition, it will not last more than two months. Just like me, I fell into it unknowingly——you, you are so harmful, you are really not good, you are not authentic, if your daughter-in-law says you have to work with you, just let it go It’s too worrying to go out.”

I said: "We haven't known each other for a day or two. You know what I am like. For example, just for example. Tell the truth, you are my wife. If I go out to work like this, don't you worry about it? worried?"

She thought for a while and said, "I'm still worried."

I laughed and said, "So you can't be my wife."
