The story of a cook

Chapter 323 You Are Not Pregnant Again

In my life, I have experienced many people, some men, some women, some gradually lost news with the passage of time, and some left a deep imprint in my heart, lingering.

Everyone has their own life, has their own way to go, what is in front of us is a real life, life is realistic, not romantic, but life is beautiful, even if there is sadness, it is beautiful, because that is What we have been through.

I have always loved life and felt the beauty of life.

The world is good, people are good, everything is so beautiful.

Leaving the small station the next day, Yaru sent me to the car, seeing her waving, I don't know when we will meet again.

When I saw Yaru, I fulfilled a wish. Knowing the current situation of her life, I have a deep concern.

On the second day after returning to the provincial capital, I received a call from Master, saying that a very famous dumpling restaurant "Linjiangxuan" in the provincial capital invited him to be the director of production, and asked me if I wanted to go.

I said, "Go, it's better than waiting."

The master said: "Boss Linjiangxuan and I are old colleagues, and Lun is my younger brother. He opened a dumpling restaurant in [-]s. Now the business has grown, and he bought the entire seven-storey building on the west side of the main entrance of Dadongmen. I’m ready to expand my business. I found me and asked me to go there. I didn’t do much work, just check the dishes. I took you as an apprentice and didn’t take you much in cooking. I think his family is very good. It's big enough to call you over and teach you how to cook."

I said, "Thank you Master, when shall we go there?"

The master said: "Wait for another two days, Linjiangxuan is a family business, and the four brothers jointly opened it. The person who is looking for me is the third, that is, the third boss. They will open a board meeting again. After the meeting, we will go there." .”

I said, "Good Master, I'll wait for your call."

The master said: "You may not be able to cook at that time. You should practice first at the bottom, and then cook after you get familiar with it. The salary may not be high, only 2000 yuan."

I said, "It's okay, the amount of money doesn't matter, as long as I can be with you."

The master said, "I originally planned to call Zhang Tao. He thinks his salary is low, and he plans to go abroad. He said he is going to Iceland."

I said: "Oh, I heard he said that he was going to go abroad, and he really went abroad."

The master said: "Well, this time I really want to go abroad. It's good to go abroad, so I can earn more."

I said, "Yes, it's good to go abroad."

The master said, "That's it. I'll let you know in two days."

I have been in contact with Master all the time. Although I seldom see each other, I always make phone calls.Master went fishing in summer and went to Hainan for vacation in winter. I don’t know why he remembered to work this time.It is probably because I feel that I have nothing to do at home, and my hands are itchy and come back again.Brother Zhang Tao started to open a restaurant with his classmates after quitting the seafood restaurant in Dadong. The business was not very good, but he didn’t lose any money. Later, after cashing out the restaurant, he kept trying to go abroad. It seems that this time is true. going abroad.

I talked with him on the phone and told him to be cautious when going abroad. Going abroad may not necessarily make money, and sometimes it will not make money.His attitude is very firm, even if he wants to go abroad, he doesn't know why it is so good abroad.

Now the fourth child also pays homage to his master. His master is Master Hao, who is the production director of AutoNavi.Master Hao is the apprentice of Mr. Zhang, the culinary master. Mr. Zhang and his master are brothers according to seniority. Master Hao and I are brothers. In this way, in terms of the seniority of chefs in the provincial capital, the fourth child became my nephew. interesting.

The fourth child worked in AutoNavi with his master after he finished his apprenticeship. Now he is the head chef, which is also very good.

The second child is no longer going to be a chef. The husband his sister Hai Na found has a bone buying station in the suburbs. The second child started to work with her brother-in-law. He bought an agricultural tricycle to collect bones all day long and made a lot of money.He and Xiao Wan are going to get married in winter, and the fourth child is going to get married in September.Back then we were all young men in our twenties, and now we have all started to settle down.

Master Chen is still working in the restaurant in Dadong. He does a good job and keeps in touch with him by phone.He already has a child, a boy, and my fourth child and I went there on the day of the child's full moon, and met many friends in the chef industry.Master Chen has always been very popular in the chef industry. This is related to his easy-going personality. He is warm-hearted and loyal to others. Everyone likes to associate with him.He was my guide as a chef, so to speak.

Now Zhao Gang and Zhang Jun are working together, that is the restaurant opened by the classmate Wang Jie, they are doing very well, and the business is not bad.Zhao Gang is smarter and has his own ideas on cooking. He is also good at kitchen management and is highly valued by the boss.Although Zhang Jun is smart enough, he is too playful, like a child who has not grown up, thinking about how to play all day long.

After He Yuxuan and my fourth cousin, Yang Zhijun, I introduced him to a nightclub on Taiyuan Street to cook, he did a good job there. Later, he called the young student Meng Hongwei to use him as a chopping board. .Meng Hongwei has a quick mind and a quick learner, and now he has become a qualified cutting board.The two got along very well and became good buddies.

Zhou Ming now runs a snack bar by himself, and it's doing a good job.He divorced his wife and found another daughter-in-law.After my brother-in-law, Wang Dong, introduced me to Zhang Tao as a chopping board, but Zhang Tao's restaurant stopped working, Wang Dong found a chopping board job himself, and he did very well.

He Yuxuan's business has improved since Li Changqing left, but the weather didn't go according to people's wishes. Within a few days when SARS came, the restaurant's business plummeted. At the end of June, Boss Cao sold the restaurant at a low price.In fact, it was a wrong decision for him to sell the restaurant, because SARS was basically over in August.He Yuxuan has a very good background, and business will still pick up after SARS is over.

The road to success is not crowded, but there are too few people who persist, so few people succeed.

After returning, Qiuping and Zhou Xiaomei came to the house once, and asked Qiuping about her partner. She said that she was dating a boy who was her colleague and they worked together.The boy and his cousin are in charge of the sound there, and they are considered skilled people.

The boy's surname is Wang, he is from the city, and there are parents in his family, a total of three people.My father cooks in the high law cafeteria, and my mother works in a supermarket. It is a very ordinary family.Zhou Xiaomei said that the boy looked okay, he was quite honest, not as flamboyant as ordinary city kids, he had no bad habits, he was very kind to Qiuping, and now he was just interacting with each other, just reaching the level of holding hands.

He told Qiuping that he could associate with boys, but he had to treat him well, and he was not allowed to play with them.If you think it's okay after a few months of dating, tell your family members, and the parents of both parties will meet and decide on the marriage.Qiuping agreed, and at the same time Zhou Xiaomei was also in charge of supervising and reminding them not to do anything beyond the standard.

I told Lin Yan about going to Linjiangxuan to work with Master, and Lin Yan said it was good, as long as I went to work for a month and stabilized my job, she would stop working and stay at home to raise my baby.

Lin Yan said: "Zhihao has a blind date at home, the one who is divorced and has no children."

I asked, "When did it happen? Why didn't I hear what you said?"

"Last month's blind date, the woman had no objection, and she planned to send Zhihao to BJ to sell grain and oil with her." Lin Yan said.

"Wouldn't that be nice."

"That woman's name is Xiuyan, her surname is Li. She and her younger sister are the only ones in the family. The two sisters sell grain and oil in BJ, and they are businessmen."

"Okay, it would be nice to go to BJ with them to do business after Zhihao gets married."

Lin Yan said: "Zhihao's bus ticket has also come down, and now the two get along very well, Zhihao went to BJ to stay with him for half a month."

"It's developing very fast. Have you bought all the boat tickets?" I joked.

Lin Yan gave me a blank look.

"You think Zhihao is like you."

"Isn't it normal to buy tickets after boarding the boat?"

"I heard from my mother that the two plan to get married this year."

"Good thing, let's end it then."

"Can't you get married without money? How can you have money?"

"Didn't you say how much dowry?" I asked.

"Thirty-six thousand."

"You sister is bleeding again," I said.

Lin Yan said: "I don't have any money, so I don't care. If I have money, I will keep it for my son."

I laughed, didn't say anything, the pregnant woman began to have great maternal love.

I strongly agree and support Zhihao's marriage.When he got married, his mother-in-law would have one less burden, and Zhiye was still studying, and the college entrance examination would start next year, so the burden was relatively less.Zhiye also needed money to study, but it was paid on a monthly basis, unlike Zhihao who had to spend [-] at once when he got married, which was a bit strenuous.

Zhihao needs [-] dowry gifts to get married, and this is just the dowry money. To get married, he needs to renovate the house, buy furniture, and buy electrical equipment.The mother-in-law has saved some money from raising pigs in the past two years, and Zhihao has also earned some money from part-time jobs, but I don’t know how much?Is it enough?Probably not enough.

Lin Yan said: "Our family doesn't have much money, and it takes money to have a baby. My mother said that the maternity and children's hospital in my house can save a little, and it costs four to five thousand. I have to buy milk powder and Children's clothes, bathing products, and Johnson & Johnson series have to be bought, which cost a lot of money, and I don't have much spare money for him to get married."

I said: "Then I have to get married for him first. I'm going to work to earn money right away. I can save enough money to have a child now."

Lin Yan said: "I still have to eat at home when I'm not going to work, and I have to pay rent, utility bills, what's not money, as long as the little money you earn is enough for me and my children, it's not bad."

As he spoke, he touched his stomach subconsciously.

I also stretched out my hand to touch Lin Yan's belly, Lin Yan opened my hand and said, "It's only two months old, I can't feel it."

"Then why do you touch it?"

"I can feel."

"I feel it too."

"What do you feel, you are not pregnant again."
