The story of a cook

Chapter 235 Arranging Zhou Xiaomei in Advance

That haggis restaurant is a small restaurant with haggis as its signature. I forgot the name, but the business is very good, and the haggis is delicious.It's not the Hui people's method, but our Beipiao's method, half soup and half stew, and the haggis is cut into large pieces, which is affordable.It is estimated that the boss is from Beipiao.

The restaurant is very strange. If the business of the big hotel is not good, the business of the small restaurant will be good. The more windy and rainy it is, the more guests will eat in the small restaurant.

When I came to the haggis restaurant, there was still a seat, but after sitting down, three guests came in and there was no seat.

A small shop business like this is very successful.

I ordered the haggis pot, and I also ordered a stir-fried lamb lung. I love this, and I love it when I am at home.Zhou Xiaomei ordered a celery mixed with peanuts.

Told the waiter to wait for the food to be served, and one person didn't come.

Take a look at this haggis restaurant while waiting for Zhang Li.

The small shop is only [-] square meters in total, with two small private rooms and eight scattered terraces.There are customers in the two small private rooms, and the eight scattered tables are also full of customers.It seems that there are haggis pots on each table, and from time to time, customers call the waiter to add soup.There is only one waiter in front, but he is very smart, busy but not chaotic, and methodical.

I couldn’t help laughing when I saw the small table by the window. I know the person at that table. It’s my oldest friend, Ms. Zhang. The man who ate with her was the man I met at the hot pot restaurant that day, not Ms. Zhang’s. Husband grandson.

It's really fate, I can meet Sister Zhang and the others everywhere.The first time, Sister Zhang left in embarrassment, but this time she couldn't leave because it was snowing heavily outside.

Sister Zhang also saw me, nodded at me, then waved again, and I walked over and sat down.

Sister Zhang asked: "I also ran outside in heavy snow, not staying at home, and changed to another girl today."

I said, "What are you talking about, sister, that's my niece. I'm working at Wei Shili now. It's snowing and there are no customers today. Get off work early and come out to eat some haggis."

Sister Zhang looked at Zhou Xiaomei, and said, "It's a lie, is that your niece?"

I said, "To be exact, it's my sister-in-law's niece from her natal family who also works at Visali as a waiter."

"That's fine, I don't look like your niece." Sister Zhang said, "She's pretty, how old is she?"

I said, "27."

Sister Zhang said, "It's older than you."

I said, "Yes, older than me."

Sister Zhang said: "Isn't it snowing here? I don't have anything to do at home. I just think about going to his house to eat haggis. His haggis is delicious. I always come to eat when I have nothing to do."

I said, "It looks delicious. His business is good. This is my first time here."

Sister Zhang said, "Sit down and have a drink. If you can't, call your niece over."

I said, "No, someone will come over later, just wait for a while."

Sister Zhang said: "Then have a drink here." Sister Zhang introduced the man to me: "This is my friend, your name is Brother Zhao."

I nodded at the man, he looks very good, a bit like Lu Liangwei.It seems that men love beautiful women, and women like handsome men in turn.Visually, the man is ten years younger than Ms. Zhang, so it should be Ms. Zhang who is dating this man.Sister Zhang also has that capital, she is not bad in appearance, and she also shows the attractiveness of women to the fullest. I believe that most men will be tempted when they meet.

I drank a glass of white wine at Sister Zhang's table, and chatted with Sister Zhang for a while.

It turned out that Sister Zhang had divorced her grandson. The reason was unknown. We didn't ask if they didn't tell us. It's not good to know too much.Divorcing at an age like Sister Zhang's is not a shameful thing, not to mention that divorce was quite popular at that time.

I have always been against divorce.

It is not so easy to form a family. There are not so many political marriages in the world, and there are not so many marriages formed for the benefit of the family. Most of them are happy couples and happy knots to form families.Every family is the flowering of love and mutual recognition and tolerance, otherwise two people will not come together.If you form a family, you should cherish it. If a man can't control himself, he can find a lady to taste it, but he can't leave his lover who is in the same boat as him, that is irresponsible.If you have children, you should think about it even more. As the sketch says, children are innocent.

As society develops, Chinese people's concept of marriage is also changing.Divorce was a shameful thing from the beginning, and gradually transitioned to not a shameful thing, and then it became a matter of urgency.Up to now, divorce has almost become a common occurrence. The two of them will leave without even thinking about it. I really don't know what they are thinking.

At that time, I wondered if I would divorce Lin Yan in the future?

I laughed when I thought about it, I started thinking about getting a divorce before I got married, it was too advanced.

After drinking a glass of wine, he returned to his table.

Zhou Xiaomei looked at me angrily and said, "I thought you weren't coming back."

I explained: "My friend, I met you here. I went over to have a glass of wine. I'm sorry, I told you to wait here alone for a long time."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Then you can drink with them there, what are you doing when you come back?"

I smiled, did not speak, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Zhou Xiaomei saw that I was smoking and did not speak, and asked, "What does that girl do?"

I said, "I really don't know what I'm doing. Now I'm laid off and have no job, so I'm staying at home."

Zhou Xiaomei asked, "How did you know each other?"

I said, "We've known each other for several years. A kitchen boss introduced us to each other. We have three tables."

At this time, someone opened the door and came in. It was Zhang Li, stomping the snow on her shoes at the door.

Zhou Xiaomei waved to Zhang Li, and Zhang Li walked over.

Zhou Xiaomei asked: "Sister Zhang, is it still going outside?"

Zhang Li said: "Go, it's still big, I can watch it all night."

Zhou Xiaomei asked, "Did you come by taxi?"

Zhang Li said: "Well, take a taxi. It's not easy to take a taxi today. I have to wait for a long time to wait for one."

I said, "You said it earlier, I'll take you there."

Zhang Li glanced at me: "Cut, just pick a nice one, why are you picking me up and using your [-] big sticks?"

I laughed and said, "I'll carry you on my back."

The waiter brought the food, and Zhang Li ordered another dumpling.

Seeing my blushing, Zhang Li asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Sister, you don't know, they just left me here alone and went to another table to drink, and I had a drink."

Zhang Li said, "Another table?" She looked around, saw Sister Zhang's table, turned around and said, "Why are they here?"

I said: "It's also snowing and I have nothing to eat haggis."

Zhang Li said: "I'm really in the mood to stay at home dishonestly in this snowy day and come here to eat haggis."

I laughed: "That's not the case with us."

Zhang Li said: "Can we compare with us? What are we and what are they?" After speaking, I gave me a blank look.

I just laughed, didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass, touched Zhang Li and Zhou Xiaomei, and started drinking.

After drinking, Zhou Xiaomei talked more, and Zhang Li and they started chatting.

Seeing that they chatted very well, I started eating haggis and drinking by myself.The haggis from his family is really good. Once you eat it, you know it’s from your own family, not from the kind of alkali that you buy from the market.Most of the haggis on the market is made of alkali. It is not edible alkali, but caustic alkali. Eating too much will cause great harm to the body.

Now that the market is regulated, there is no more haggis that is alkaline.There used to be a market.The haggis produced with caustic soda is clean, looks good, and does not fall off the scale, but it is not good to eat, and it smells like urea.

What is harmful to the human body is caustic soda and thenardite. I remember that many cooked food sellers used thenardite at that time. The pig's trotters, pig's knuckles, and pig's ears that came out of the sauce were not only beautiful in color, but also weighed well.Some chefs also use it to make beef. The beef they make is red and rotten, and the taste is very good.At that time, I wondered why the beef made by others was so bad. Later, I heard that it used Glauber's salt, so I knew what was going on.

Glauber's salt, tender meat powder, and food powder are all chemical substances. Eating them is harmful to the body, so they must not be used.

If you find these things in the kitchen and throw them directly into the trash, don't use them.Because of this, I offended many bosses.If you offend, you will be offended. If you use me to cook, I don’t need it. I like it, that’s it.

Seeing me drinking by myself, Zhang Li said to me: "Why are you still drinking by yourself, as if we are bullying you, come, my sister will drink with you."

I said, "You two chatted very well, sorry to bother you."

Had a drink with Zhang Li.

Zhou Xiaomei asked me: "I'm going to work at Sister Zhang's place after the Chinese New Year, okay?"

"Okay, why not?" I said, "I'm about to tell you about this, let me tell you in advance, she's the one who takes care of the girls, you should think about it."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "I'm not going to be a lady, so what can I do."

I said, "Hey, what do you say, you decide for yourself."

Zhou Xiaomei smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will fail in my studies there, and I will become a lady if I come and go?"

I said, "It doesn't mean that."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Don't worry about this, I will never be a lady, and besides, it's okay to have Sister Zhang there." Then she said to Zhang Li, "It's not Sister Zhang."

Zhang Li said: "It depends on what you are like. If you go there and see how much money the lady earns, you want to earn it. I can't see it. I can only send you back and let you, my little uncle, take care of it."

Zhou Xiaomei said, "I'll be a waiter, as long as I'm with you."

Zhang Li said: "If you really want to do it, then go to my place. You can talk, and you will also say that I will take you with you for two years. You can be a foreman at least. If you study hard Almost like being a manager.”

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Actually, I just want to learn front desk management from you. If I can go anywhere, I can apply for a manager."

I looked at Zhou Xiaomei, not to mention, she really has the potential to be a manager.She is pretty, with a bit of a professional woman's "model", tall, and temperamental, so it's okay to train her well.The most important thing is that she can speak, and dare to speak, this is the most important point.

I said, "That's fine, Zhang Li, you can take her with you and let her be your apprentice."

Zhang Li said: "When you become an apprentice, you are all good sisters, not younger sisters."

Zhou Xiaomei said, "That's also the master."

I said to Zhang Li: "It's settled like this. Xiaomei will work as a waiter at your place and learn management from you. Take care of her well. When I take over the kitchen here, I will transfer her to be the manager." , it will be easy to cooperate before and after.”

Zhang Li said: "Why, ask me to train people for you? Why don't you tell me to be a manager in the past, and we will cooperate."

I said, "You, I can't afford it."

Zhang Li said: "Don't say it's useless, I don't know you yet, I'm just afraid of sticking to you with me, tell you Lao Tan, if I want to stick to you, you can't run away, and chasing your house will kill you Get it out."
