The story of a cook

Chapter 320 Goodbye Yaru
When I came back, I didn't take a bus, and I was not in a hurry. I took the train.

When I got on the train, I couldn't help but think of Yaru, that small station, and the dog meat restaurant in front of that small station.I don't know how Yaru is doing now?Are you happy?
The girl who walked into my heart, now you, okay?

The longing is on the verge of breaking out, and the scenes with Yaru in the past began to appear in front of my eyes one after another, gradually becoming clear from blurred——
So I decided to get off at that small station halfway to see Yaru.

When the train arrived at the small station, it was after five o'clock in the afternoon. When I got out of the small station, there were very few people in front of the station. He walked out of the station and into the street.

The street in front of Xiaozhan Station hasn’t changed much. Go east along the street and look for the dog meat restaurant in memory.The dog meat restaurant was not found, but "Yaru Restaurant" and "Yaru Hotel" were found at the original location of the dog meat restaurant.

When I saw the word "Yaru", I knew I had found the right one.

Standing at the door of "Yaru Hotel" and looking in, I didn't actually look in, but my heart was full of emotion. I didn't know whether to go in or not, so I hesitated at that moment.I want to go in, I want to see Yaru, but I am a little scared, afraid to see Yaru——
It has been eight years, and eight years is not a short time. How many eight years can a person have in his life?

For eight years, Yaru has been in my heart, and from time to time I would think that it was my first love——

My dear girl, how are you?

The door of the restaurant was pushed open from the inside, and a woman in her 30s came out, wearing light makeup, very pretty, but not Yaru.

"Eat? Come in, we have everything at home, wontons, noodles, dumplings, stir-fried vegetables, mixed vegetables, everything, come in."

I smiled and walked into the shop.

There are still six tables in the small shop, and there are two tables where guests are sitting to eat.

Sit by the window, the woman in her 30s came over with a teapot, poured a cup of tea, put the teapot on the table, and asked, "What do you want to eat? Do you want to drink?"

I asked, "Do you still have dog meat?"

The woman said: "My family has stopped selling dog meat for a long time. Did you change the name of the store? It seems that you have been here before."

"I've been here before, if I remember correctly, it used to be a dog meat restaurant." I said.

"Yes, it used to be a dog meat restaurant, but now it doesn't sell it."

"Your dog meat is delicious."

"Well, my dog ​​meat is a must. Now that dog meat is expensive, I won't sell it if I don't make money. Eat something else. My cooking is also very good." The woman said enthusiastically.

"A plate of dried tofu with sharp peppers, another plate of dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut, half a catty of white wine, and loose white wine." I said.

"Okay, wait a minute, it will be fine in a while."

The room is not hot, there is an oscillating electric fan above each table, humming and turning, it is still cool.After a while, the woman came over with the fried dried tofu with sharp peppers, put the dried tofu on the table, and poured two glasses of loose baijiu on the table.

"Drink slowly first, the dumplings will be served in a while."

"Okay thank you!"

"No thanks, you're welcome, I'll bring you a few cloves of garlic."

"it is good."

The fried tofu with sharp pepper is very delicious, pure home-cooked taste, it looks like it was fried by housewives.Sanbaijiu is very strong, fifty percent.

Drinking slowly alone, I have never seen Yaru, I can't help but wonder if Yaru is here?

After a while, the woman brought the dumplings.There was a table where the guests called the woman to check out after eating, and the woman went to pay the guests.

A four- or five-year-old boy came into the store, and as soon as he came in, he yelled at the woman: "Aunt Zhang, I'm back."

The woman looked up at the little boy and asked, "Oh, where's your mother?"

"My mother locked the car—"

After speaking, he went in through the kitchen door.

At this time, a woman came in, first went around the room, and was taken aback when she saw me.

I saw a familiar, long-lost face.

Yaru!

She looked at me in surprise, and I looked at her with joy, the two of us were a few meters away, just looking at——
Her eyes changed from surprise to surprise, with disbelief in the surprise.

My girl, it's me.

I smiled at her, and she stood there looking at me smiling, silly, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes——
She wiped it subconsciously, and when she wiped away the tears, my heart couldn't help but ache.

Neither of us spoke, we made eye contact.

She became flustered, carrying the child's schoolbag in her hand, trying to dodge, when she turned around, she collided with a customer who had finished paying and went out, then hurriedly walked into the kitchen and disappeared.

It wasn't until Yaru disappeared from my sight that I came back to my senses.

It's her, the girl I miss.

Yaru is no longer that simple girl, she has become a mother of a child and a mother.

The hair still has curly hair, the big eyes are still so energetic, the high bridge of the nose has not changed, what has changed is the expression on the face, Yaju used to be innocent, she looked like a little girl, now Yaru is mature Yes, she is a woman exuding mature charm.

Years are always ruthless, and a person will grow old slowly.

The years are sentimental, and a person will gradually become mature.

Seeing the girl whom I have been thinking about all the time, I am very happy in my heart.Although he didn't say a word, he was already very satisfied.

Drink wine and eat dumplings, it's very tasty.

After 10 minutes, Yaru came out and came over with a plate of washed pickles in his hand.

Yaru put the pickles on the table.

"When did you come?"

The phrase "when did you come" shortened the distance between the two of you. This is a familiar voice that rang in my ears in memories and dreams. I haven't heard it for eight years.

It was the same voice, the same tone, familiar for a long time.

"Not long after I arrived, I'm hungry, so I'll come to your house for a meal." I replied with a smile on my face.

"You—how do you know this is my house?"

"Isn't it written in the name of the store, Yaru Hotel?"

She smiled, still the familiar smile from before.

"Are you passing by or here on business?"

"What do you say?" I asked.

"I don't know." She said in a lover's tone, with a trace of shyness on her face when she spoke.

I said, "I said I came to see you, do you believe me?"

She looked at me, thought for a while, then shook her head after a while, and said to me: "I don't believe it, how do you know this restaurant belongs to my family, and you don't know."

I smiled happily, "Hehe, not only do I know, but I also know that your restaurant used to be a dog meat restaurant, your mother-in-law is a bit fat, your husband is from the railway bureau, and your husband is also from the railway bureau, I know what he looks like. "

"How do you know?" After listening to me, she looked at me with wide eyes and asked, "How do you know everything?"

Seeing her surprised expression, I smiled wryly.

"It's not the first time I've eaten at your house, it's the third time this time."

"Three times? You have come three times? Why don't I know?"

She couldn't believe that I had been here three times. Looking at me, she couldn't describe the expression on her face, but she could understand the shock and excitement in her heart at the moment.

"Well, three times—"

It's been three times, really three times, slowly it's all memories.

The first time I came here was to go to Yaru’s house. It was the first time I went to Yaru’s house to propose a marriage. The result was that there was no commission for the relatives, and I didn’t see Yaru. I ate here and overheard the proprietress here (Grandma Yaru) Speaking of her son’s blind date, the person on the blind date is Yaru. Although I’m not sure yet, it’s almost the same.The second time I came here, it basically confirmed that Yaru was the daughter-in-law of the proprietress, and she was married. After marriage, Yaru and her husband quarreled and ran back to her mother's house.That time I met Yaru's husband, a rather handsome guy who likes to play mahjong. Because of playing mahjong for gambling, Yaru quarreled with him and went back to her mother's house.The second time I still didn't see Yaru.

Today is the third time, I saw it.

The world is like this, good fortune tricks people.

Yaru looked at me and asked cautiously: "You said three times, did you—"

I said, "Yes, the first time I went to your house, I ate dog meat here."

Yaru said: "It happened that my dad and I had an episode—"

"Yes, I heard from your mother that you are in the last episode."

At this time, the little boy ran out and shouted at Yaru: "Mom, it's time to eat, my grandma is waiting for you to eat."

Yaru turned her head and said to the child: "You and your milk, mom has a friend, don't eat."

The little boy glanced at me and said, "Oh, then I have dinner with my grandma."

After finishing speaking, I ran back to eat.

I asked, "How old is your son?"

"Five years old, disobedient all day long, dead to death."

Mentioning her son, Yaru's face is full of satisfaction as a mother.

I said, "Boy, it's better to do some shopping. You were also very good at shopping when you were young. It's up to you."

She smiled and said, "I don't have him—"

After speaking, he stood up and went to another table to take an empty wine glass and sit down.

"You're here, let's have a drink with you."

"Now I'm good enough to drink."

"I can drink, you know, but I just don't like to drink." Yaru said, "I've practiced drinking in a restaurant for a few years, not worse than you, haha."

He said and poured himself a glass of white wine.

Yes, Yaru used to drink too, but I only saw her drinking beer, not white wine.

Northeast women can drink.
