The story of a cook

Chapter 37
On the evening of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, there was a workshop group dinner in the lobby, all of whom were young people. These people were still drinking when they got off work, and some sang with a microphone.Seeing this, we have to play until eleven or two o'clock.

Not long after returning to the dormitory, the boss's pager rang, and it looked like it was the hotel's number.Just after he rang the fourth child's phone, it also rang, and it was also the hotel number.The boss said that something might have happened to the hotel, so the three of us hurried back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, the inside was in a mess. Brother Feng was confronting more than a dozen people, feeling a bit tense.

Sun Mei and Zhang Ling stood at the bar too frightened to come out, and the waiters hid in the corridor, looking out.

The eldest brother and I walked up to Brother Feng, and the fourth child went to the kitchen.

The boss himself looks like a big brother in the society. I have a fierce appearance and a shaved head. The two of us are quite abusive when we stand next to Brother Feng, and the other party's shouts are much quieter.

"What's the matter?" the boss asked Brother Feng.

"They wanted to sing, but I said it was ten o'clock, and they were not allowed to sing after ten o'clock, because they disturbed the people." Feng Ge said.

As soon as Brother Feng finished speaking, a young guy on the opposite side said: "What kind of trouble is it, isn't the hotel's sound system just for singing to the guests? If you don't let it sing, you're the fucker."

When one person speaks, others follow suit.

"Smash it, smash it if you don't let it sing."

"What kind of broken hotel, no singing is allowed."

"If you don't let it sing, you will smash it."

"---"

I have the experience of the last fight, but now I feel nothing about this battle.The opponents are all young people who have just joined the work not long ago. They are young and full of vigor, and they scream fiercely. Few of them dare to fight. In addition, Shen Fei is strict in management and does not allow fights. A warning is a taint, and serious expulsion will be dealt with.

Being able to work in an aircraft factory is an iron rice bowl, and no one would lose his job foolishly.

The boss didn't care much, and said to the young guy who spoke just now: "See what you say, so buddy, our hotel can sing, but if you sing after ten o'clock, it will disturb the people. The police station came a few times , told us that we can’t sing after ten o’clock, and it’s past ten o’clock now, please understand.”

"What do you do?" asked the boy.

"I'm the boss's older brother. This is my younger brother's hotel. Please save face." The boss said.

A 30-year-old man came out from the opposite side, and said to the boss: "I came to your house just to be happy, and you won't be allowed to sing halfway through. What do you think?"

"It's our fault, but it's true that we can't sing after ten o'clock, brother, please bear with us." The old man said.

The man in his thirties didn't make a sound, and glanced at the young man. The young man looked at the eldest, thinking that the eldest was a gangster, and asked, "Look, the eldest brother is not an ordinary person. I don't know anyone in the third class, is there?" Have you seen it?"

The boss said: "I've never seen anything normal. I'm not in Sandaizi very much. It seems that my brother is also a face-to-face person. That's how he is today."

"Do you know Brother Hong?" the young man asked.

"If you say it's Cao Jihong, then we are familiar with each other. Someday I will call him and bring Xiao Minzi with me. Let's have a sit down. It's been a long time since we sat together." The boss said with a big smile.

As the saying goes, the shadow of a person's tree of life, Cao Jihong is the eldest brother in Santaizi, and everyone has to give face.

When the young man heard that the boss not only knew Cao Jihong, but also Daminzi (also the elder brother of Santaizi society), he said: "Since you know Brother Hong, it will be easy to use. If others don't give face, Brother Hong must give face." Then he said: "Today That’s it, it doesn’t matter whether you sing or not, but it’s meaningless to sing again.”

The young man was very sensible. After speaking, he greeted those people and walked out, and the boss sent him outside. When he arrived at the door, the young man asked, "Where was the eldest brother before?"

"Dadong, I'm Xing San'er."

The young man was stunned for a moment, his face immediately became serious, and with fear, he nodded at the boss: "I didn't know the third brother was here, so I'm sorry."

"It's okay, come over another day, third brother invites you." The boss laughed.

A crisis was resolved by the boss lightly, very easily, as if nothing happened.It seems that the boss was really famous when he was in the society, even higher than Cao Jihong.

The fourth child came over with his arms bulging, and the eldest asked him what was in his arms?He took out two spoons and a rolling pin from his pocket.Said him grandly to the old man: "I can see that you have never fought before."

Sun Mei came over and said to the boss: "I was terrified just now, they rushed up and wanted to attack."

"They didn't dare, they were all bluffing. Those who didn't come to the real thing didn't dare to do it. If a unit has a dinner, it's only a fool looking for trouble." The boss said.

"That's quite scary." Sun Mei said with lingering fear.

"It's not very capable to scare people. A bunch of brats, if they are hooligans, they won't come here to make trouble." The boss said.

"Boss, do you know Cao Jihong?" Brother Feng asked.

"I've met, it's very easy to use in Santaizi, Brother Renyi." The boss replied.

Nothing happened, the waiter started to tidy up, boss, we were going to go back, Zhang Ling said to wait for her for a while, and then we left with us after paying the bill.On the way back, the fourth child asked, "Boss, are you not afraid of fighting?"

"No one is afraid of fighting, everyone is afraid, and if it doesn't work out, they will put themselves into it, especially these little bastards, they don't know how to fight at all, and they don't know the severity of the strike, so they know how to fight to the death." The boss said: "Nowadays there are famous and Those who call are old-fashioned, and there are a few hands-on ones, just these fucking sons who dare to fight, and want to become famous by fighting." Then he cursed: "Erhu, you didn't fight, and you are honest when you fight. , no big brother dares to carry it around."

"It was scary just now, I thought we could start a fight." The fourth child said.

"What to fight? Who to fight? The more you do this, the less you can fight. It's all about slogans." The boss said: "Don't be afraid of trouble if you have something to do, and don't cause trouble if you have nothing to do.

After finishing speaking, he looked at me and asked, "Third brother, you were standing there just now, didn't you look scared?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of if you can't fight at all." I said.

"Don't fight, it's not good to beat anyone up." Zhang Ling said in a low voice.

On the weekend of the second day, sister Zhao came at noon.

She was wearing a white down jacket, with long hair and light makeup. Standing in the hall with a tall figure, she overshadowed the waiters.

Give her the scarf you bought, she is very pleasantly surprised.

"Buy me some scarves, I have them at home."

"Isn't that yours? I bought it for you."

"This scarf is expensive, isn't it?"

"Not expensive."

"Not expensive? Looking at the style and workmanship, you know it's not cheap. You really dare to spend money." She blamed, but there was a happy smile on her face.

She put on a scarf, she looked much better than that proprietress.

Zhang Ling saw Sister Zhao put on a scarf and gave me a thumbs up from the bar. Seeing her mouth shape was "beautiful", she smiled at her.

"Brother, you are quite good at shopping, and my sister likes it." Sister Zhao said happily.

"I see that the lady boss who sells the scarf looks pretty around her. She is about the same size as you. Thinking about it, you must look good too." I said.

"Did you see how beautiful he is?" Sister Zhao joked.

"No, not as beautiful as you, nor as temperamental as you."

"My sister has no temperament." She said, touching the scarf wheat ears and said: "This scarf is of good quality and wide. It's a new model this year. Thank you brother."

"Don't be polite to me."

"I still think about my sister after Chinese New Year, but she didn't buy you anything."

"You bought me enough."

"Aren't I your sister?"

As she spoke, she took out a cigarette from her bag and gave it to me, saying, "I'll buy you a cigarette."

"You said you didn't buy anything for me, didn't you?"

"Actually, I really shouldn't buy you cigarettes. What good is smoking? It's bad for your lungs. You should just quit." She said with a smile.

We chatted for a while, and she said that she was not going to be a waiter after the new year, and she would go to Wuai Market to sell clothes at her classmate's.As soon as she mentioned selling clothes, my heart tightened, and I immediately thought of Li Yanhua, feeling like I was about to lose a friend again.She said that selling clothes was a morning job, and she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she would come to see me when she had time. She also said that she would not buy clothes by herself in the future, and told her what she wanted to buy. She bought them at Wu'ai Market, which was cheap.

"Did I buy you something for the New Year when I went home?" she asked.

"Buy a pair of shoes," I said.

"Yes, it's been a year since I came out, buy something for your mother when you go home, to make her happy."

I nodded.

"It would be great if you could bring a partner back, then your mother will be very happy."

"It's a pity that I don't have that ability." I scratched my head and said.

She glanced at the bar, and Zhang Ling happened to be looking this way, and when she saw Sister Zhao watching her, she hurriedly avoided.

Sister Zhao smiled and said to me: "I think she is interested in you, but you can take her home."

"I think, people don't agree, we are not the same way." I said.

"Why are you not the same person, do you think he is too old?"

"Where do you want to go?" I said: "She has to go back to her house sooner or later. She is the only child in her house. It is impossible for her parents to ask her to find a husband's house outside. I am the only kid in my family, and I also It is impossible to be a door-to-door son-in-law for others."

"It seems that you have this idea." Sister Zhao said with a smile.

"No, not at all." I said, "I never think about the impossible, but think about the possibility."

"Brother, do you know what's wrong with you?" She asked.

"What's wrong?"

"It's too sensible, and it analyzes everything thoroughly."

I smiled. Actually, I was not very rational. I couldn’t get rid of the inferiority complex deep in my heart. I always felt that I was inferior to others. I felt that some beautiful things were luxuries for me, and I couldn’t have them.This is the dark side of oneself that has been overcome and changed.If this is not overcome, it will affect future development.

Seeing that it was almost two o'clock, I asked her what she wanted to eat. She said that she was at Sister Zhang's place when she came.I can't miss this good thing. I went to the kitchen and called the boss, and went to Sister Zhang's house with her.

When I arrived at Sister Zhang's house, Sister Zhang had already baked the pie and prepared a few side dishes.

"Who told you to come, where can there be delicious food?" Sister Zhang rushed to the old road.

The boss said: "I don't want you anymore, I don't eat pie, just drink some wine."

"No wine." Sister Zhang said angrily.

"Bring your own." As he spoke, the boss took out a bottle of wine from his pocket.

Sister Zhang saw the scarf on Sister Zhao's neck, went up to touch it with her hand, and said, "This scarf is very good, where did you buy it?"

"Okay? My brother bought it for me." Sister Zhao was very proud, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Sister Zhang looked at me, and I nodded.

"Let's make people live. I'll find a younger brother too." Sister Zhang exaggeratedly said loudly, and looked at the boss after speaking, "Will you see, will you see?"

"Look, I want you to see, can you hold up such a long scarf? For your boss, I will give you the whole red scarf." The boss said.

I saw Sister Zhang throwing her slipper over.
