The story of a cook

Chapter 384
Lin Yan and her son went to mother-in-law's house, and I started to make plans for work.

Now that I have a child, Lin Yan cannot go to work for two years, and I have to earn money to support my family.The family has no savings, and everything has to be started from scratch, making money has become a top priority.

I also thought of doing something by myself, such as opening a small restaurant, so that I can make money quickly.But I don’t have the capital, and I can’t borrow money from my sisters to start a business. I’d better find a job to earn money first, then slowly save money, and then borrow some money to open a small restaurant when I have some savings in my hand.

On the day of my son's full moon, many friends came and asked them to help me contact a job, and go to work if there is a suitable one.The fourth child said that many restaurants are currently in a downturn. The restaurants are undergoing a rectification process. The restaurants with traditional management models are gradually being phased out, and standardized and standardized restaurants are beginning to dominate.

This is an inevitable trend of development.

Take the kitchen as an example. The era of a master leading a few apprentices to dominate the world has passed, and now we start to pay attention to processes and standards, cooperation, win-win situation, and teamwork.

Looking for a job does not mean that you can find it today and tomorrow, especially at my level, I have a choice of jobs. I don’t want to go to a restaurant without development, and I don’t want to go to a low-salary job. I want to earn more. I want to find a long-term Dry restaurant.

Zhang Li went back to work in West Tower, and Jin Hua was going to get married, so she took over Jin Hua's job as the general manager.

Li Shuang went to Gaode, the fourth cadre, to be the head of the floor, and worked with Master Tong.

Zheng Jiaqi didn't look for a job. She said she wanted to open a snack bar by herself and was looking for a place.

After sleeping at home for a day, I feel that I have almost slept, so I went out for a walk and basked in the sun.

It's June, it's summer, the willows are green and the sun is shining brightly.

Brother Li came out of the house, we stood together, and said to me: "The child has gone to his grandma's house, you should take it easy."

I said, "It's time to find a job."

"You might as well open a small restaurant yourself." Brother Li said.

"I want to open it. If I don't have money, I will open it if I have money." I said.

Brother Li said: "It doesn't cost much to open a small restaurant, only [-] will do."

"Do you think I have thirty-five thousand people?" I laughed.

"What's the matter? I still have to find a job?" Brother Li asked.

I said, "Find a job, find a place where you can make more money."

Brother Li said: "Going to other places makes a lot of money, can you go?"

I said, "You can go, as long as you give me money."

"Leave Lin Yan and the child at home, can you rest assured?" Brother Li asked.

I said, "If I work in the provincial capital, I won't be able to take care of the two of them. That is, I can cook for Lin Yan in the morning, but I won't be able to do anything when I get off work in the middle of the night."

Brother Li said: "It's better to be at home. If the two of them have something to do, they should have a backbone. Don't look at how capable the old lady is. If something happens, it's up to the old man."

I said, "That's true."

"You can't compare with us. How can we say that we have a formal job, and we can guarantee income in drought and flood. When we retire, we still have pension, labor insurance and medical insurance. You have nothing. Hurry up while you are young, and give yourself more money. Save some money, and when you get old, you won’t be able to work anymore, so it will be worthwhile.” Li Ge said.

"That is, the first priority now is to make money." I said.

"Earn, you are thirty now, so you have to work until you are sixty. Now you have a son, who doesn't look good, and spend money later. Go to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college. There are a lot of places to spend money for work, for a daughter-in-law to buy a house, and you have to earn 80, or it won’t be enough.” Li Ge said.

I said: "That's not right, if you get 80, maybe 80 is not bad."

Brother Li said: "Go ahead, when you're tired, you'll come later, you've just started."

Yeah, I'm just getting started.

I found out that I have been working part-time for 11 years, and it seems that I have returned to the original point, and everything has to start again.

In 11, I earned a lot of money, but I didn't save it. I gained a family.

Also worth it.

Start fighting for this home now.

As long as people live, they have to do it, and to live is hope.

In this world, no one leaves alive, so fight hard while you are alive.

I have no way out.

Chatting with Brother Li, the fellow from the massage room diagonally opposite came out to dry the clothes. Seeing Brother Li and I standing there chatting, she came over after drying the clothes.

"Are you two so idle today?" she asked.

"We're on vacation, so what if we don't stay idle." Brother Li said.

"Where is the child? Are you asleep?" the fellow asked me.

I said, "I went to his grandma's house, I left yesterday."

"Is the full moon out?" she asked.

"Well, it's a full moon," I said.

"Then you are liberated." She said with a smile, "Tired from serving confinement?"

I said, "I'm very tired, there's nothing I can do, I can't help but wait."

"It's aggrieved to serve your daughter-in-law during the confinement period. When you go to work, your wife will take care of it. Taking care of children is not an easy job. I would rather do some work than take care of children. It is tiring to take care of children." She said.

I smiled and said, "It's quite tiring."

She asked Brother Li, "Didn't you come for a massage recently?"

Brother Li said: "You still pay every day? Where did you get the money? If you don't go to work, you don't have the money. Besides, you can't live. What do you do with the money given to you?"

She said: "Don't you work for Shen Fei? You Shen Fei drive a lot, and you are not short of that little money."

"Not as much as you guys," Li Ge said.

"What do we call making money? No one cares about it. It's because the police didn't come to arrest them. If the police arrest them, they can't do it," she said.

"Your boss didn't say hello to the police station?" Brother Li asked.

"Why do you want to open this small shop? Now there are massage parlors everywhere, and the little money you earn is not enough to pay the police station." She said, and then said: "It's fine to get a massage, as long as you don't do big work, no one cares."

I said, "Massage is also a formal service. You earn money by crafting. The police can't arrest you. If you do other things, you can't do it. The police must arrest you."

Brother Li said: "Looking at earning some money, it's not easy. The regular ones don't make money, and the police don't let the irregular ones make money. If they catch them, they're finished. All the money they earn has to go in."

"Yes, if you are caught, you have to pay. If you don't pay, you will be rehabilitated through labor for half a year, and then you will be released." She said.

"Have you ever been arrested?" Brother Li asked.

"I didn't. I don't do big jobs. It's useless to arrest me. I just go in and ask, and let me go if there is nothing wrong." She said: "Anyone who is idle and has nothing to do is unwilling to go to the police station. Shin doesn't even want it."

No one likes going to the police station, except the police.

The fellow chatted a few more words and went back.

Aunt Wang upstairs came back from a stroll outside, and asked my wife and children if they went to grandma's house after the full moon, and I said yes.Aunt Wang said that your daughter-in-law is good, and if you treat your daughter-in-law well, your daughter-in-law can still do it.At this time, Uncle Wang came down from upstairs with a chessboard in his waist and playing cards in his pocket.

"Let's go play again." Aunt Wang said.

"Why don't you play?" Uncle Wang said: "Play every day while you're not dying, so you won't be able to play there if you die."

"Have you taken the medicine?" Aunt Wang asked.

"Eat." Uncle Wang replied, and then walked under the big tree. There were already many people gathered under the big tree.

"Come back early at noon and make dumplings." Aunt Wang said.

Uncle Wang hummed and agreed.

"I, Uncle Wang, have a good attitude and are happy all day long," Li Ge said.

"It's like that for a lifetime, play for a lifetime." Aunt Wang said.

"Uncle Wang is 74 this year." Brother Li asked.

"I'm 74, and my blood pressure is high, so I have to take medicine every day." Aunt Wang said.

"People in their 70s should have some fun." Li Ge said.

"I don't care about him, he can do whatever he wants," said Aunt Wang.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are both over 70 years old. They are in good shape and full of energy. Their pensions are enough to spend. Now is the time to enjoy life.The son has always wanted to take the two of them to live in the city, so he can have someone to take care of them. After all, he is old, so it's not good if there is a mistake.The old couple didn't like to go, saying that if they are healthy and can move now, they will not go there, and they will go when they can't move.

When people get old, they don’t like to stay by their children’s side, and they think about not being able to see their children after a long time.

Aunt Wang went upstairs, and someone called Brother Li to play poker under the big tree. Brother Li asked me if I wanted to play poker, and I said no.The two of them came with food, apparently to drink.

Li Jian asked me: "Old Tan, where is my son?"

I said, "What is your son, that's my son."

"Aren't I Tan Jiaheng's godfather?" He laughed.

"I went to his grandma's house." I said.

"Yes, I forgot, the full moon was out, and I drank too much that day." He said.

Jiang Runping said: "You still drink with such a small amount of alcohol. You are ashamed to give the child a full moon day, and you drink with the manager. You know, I can't drink those girls."

Li Jian, Zhang Li, and Li Shuang drank for their son on the day of the full moon. They had never drank before, so they told Zhang Li to drink directly to the ground.

"Old Tan, those women can drink too much. I think the women can't drink it. The men can't drink it, and I can't drink it, and I can't drink it. I can't drink it from the men's table to the women's table. , women can drink better than men, and almost killed me." Li Jian said.

"Don't drink with those girls, I'll drink with them once more." Brother Li said.

"Then why don't you tell me earlier." Li Jian complained, "My buddy was so embarrassing that day, and I was still pretending. When I passed by, buddy, let me introduce myself first. I said I am Tan Jiaheng's godfather. Thank you for coming." To drink my son’s full moon wine, let’s drink one. I didn’t realize that people drank baijiu. Li Shuang said that he would drink white wine. If he didn’t want to drink it, he wouldn’t drink it. I just did it. When I was dumbfounded, what did I do? But we can’t embarrass the men if we see other women doing it. If we do it hard, I’ll be fooled after it’s done. They’re so bad , just drink or not, continue to work." Speaking of this, he glanced at me and said, "Old Tan, can both men and women drink in the restaurants you run?"

I smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Jiang Runping said: "Bitch, you should take care of yourself in the future. Don't just look forward to seeing a beautiful woman, first check how much you can drink, and don't let others drink you to death."

"It's the first time I've seen a woman who can drink so much, I'm convinced." Li Jian said.

It's not that he takes it, but I can take it as much as I drink.
