The story of a cook

Chapter 398 Drinking with Manager Jiang
People often ask if they are afraid when fighting?
To be honest, I am not afraid.

Because when you are fighting, you can't think about whether you are afraid or not, just fight and it's over.I don't believe that you will be afraid when your mother is threatened. If you are afraid, it means that you are not your mother's own, and you will not be afraid of your own.

Of course, this is a bit extreme, but when fighting, I really don't think about whether I am afraid or not. I can only tell myself rationally not to beat people up, because I can't afford to pay for medical expenses.

The reason why people are afraid is that they are afraid of being beaten.When you don't think you will be beaten, you won't be afraid, let alone you have reasons.

Walk around the world with reason, but it is difficult to walk without reason.

I stood up and came to them.

"Almost, this is my little brother." I said.

"Who are you?" The man asked me sharply.

I smiled, pointed to Lao Guo who was lying on the ground and said, "This is the little brother who served me with the dishes, buddy, it's almost done, and he knows it's wrong, so today's thing is like this, how is it?"

The man looks at me.The other three people also stopped kicking and beating Lao Guo, and all looked at me.

"See if you can talk like that." The man said.

"I'm not good at speaking, but you are good at speaking when you come to Fuxin." I said.

"Aren't you from Fuxin, what are you talking about?" the man asked sharply.

I laughed and said to him: "Brother, this is a long way to go. As the saying goes, there is no loyalty between mountains and mountains. Although I am not from Fuxin, I have to take care of my younger brother. If you hit me twice, let it out. Make a friend, and I will ask my brother to sit down in the future."

"Sit down!" the man said, obviously not buying it, and then said to the three people: "Kick it, I will blame me if I kick it."

The three men immediately pulled up all their strength and began to kick Lao Guo.

So a scuffle began.

My nose was bruised and my face was swollen from the beating, and the four of them were not much better. One of them clutched his stomach and screamed, and was kicked by me.Later, Manager Jiang called a big brother to finish the job. This big brother was very powerful. After he came, the four men were all honest, said a few words and left.

My nose was bruised and my face was swollen, but I didn't hurt my muscles or bones. I'll be fine in two days.There was nothing wrong with Lao Guo being beaten, it seemed that his back hurt for a few days.Such a fight is a deterrent, and it is impossible to kill.People in the underworld also understand that no one can afford to beat someone to death. Besides, this is not a fight for themselves, but just to save face for others.

What they didn't expect was that not only did they fail to save face for others, the four of them came here for nothing, and they were beaten up by me. This time it can only be said that it was a tie.

I don't know the pain during the fight, but I feel the pain after the fight, my face is uncomfortable, and my whole body is uncomfortable.It doesn't feel good for anyone to be beaten, and it's a good thing that nothing goes wrong.

When you are fighting, you know you are fighting, and you don't know you are afraid until the fighting is over.

"Master, why are they blocking us at night?" Zhao Gang said in fear.

I said: "It's okay, you go first after get off work at night, they are looking for me, at worst, let's go back to the provincial capital and quit."

"Let's go now." Zhao Gang said.

"No, what's wrong with us, if you have the ability to ask them to come and ask for our heads, as long as you don't want our heads, you're not afraid." I said.

Looking at Zhao Gang's frightened look, he thought he still had little experience.

Manager Jiang said: "Don't worry, they dare not come."

I said, "I'm not afraid of them coming at all."

Manager Jiang said: "They are hooligans from the neighborhood, and they are very friendly with the head chef. The third person who is talking to you is uncle brother of the head chef."

I said, "It's okay, if we really find something wrong, we'll go back to the provincial capital, it's no big deal."

Manager Jiang said: "They don't dare to find fault with him, they are just hooligans, and they dare not mess with the elder brother I am looking for."

I don't know who the elder brother Manager Jiang is looking for is, he should be well-known in Fuxin, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress these little hooligans.But after all, they are from Fuxin, local, and the locals must be towards the locals.It's okay today, and there may not be anything in the future. This has to be guarded against.

Lao Guo was fine, but was kicked a few times.After finishing the work, I had to fight desperately with the chef, but was pulled away by everyone.

The head chef found a few friends who wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't expect to vent his anger, and he was also angry.Now the kitchen knows that he recruited these people, and he can't lose face, so he cooks without saying anything, and is much more honest.

We are also watching these things with cold eyes. We are not locals. We are here to make money, and we don't want to get involved too much.

Not mixed or mixed, so be it.

The younger brother Dahe said to me: "Master Tan, you have to be careful, and be careful that they make trouble for you."

I said, "It's okay, just look for it, it's troublesome enough anyway."

The younger brother asked, "Master Tan, are you not afraid?"

I said, "Will it be useful? What should I do? It's no big deal."

Seeing how easy I said, the younger brother didn't continue to ask.

I was standing up for Lao Guo, and he felt embarrassed.Tell him it's nothing, it's not that he will stand out if others are bullied by society like this.

I didn't feel too much. In fact, this battle was quite famous in the kitchen. Most people started to respect me, which was unexpected.

It turns out that fighting can also increase popularity.

It's just that the feeling of being beaten is not very good, and it hurts everywhere.Although it didn't hit a fatal place, it still hurts.

I continued to cook at night. I felt my wrist was a bit awkward when I was cooking. Maybe it was broken during a fight and I had to recover for two days.

Today, the head chef did a little too much, it was nothing serious at all, it was just a few quarrels, and there was no need to find social people to beat Lao Guo.Just beating up Lao Guo did not enhance the prestige of the head chef in the kitchen. On the contrary, everyone still disliked him, thinking that he is too small-minded and lacks the demeanor of a general, so he is not suitable to be a head chef.

Zhao Gang left first when he got off work at night, nothing happened, and no one stopped him halfway.When I left, I didn’t look at anyone, and I was upset. I went to Hongfu Dumpling Restaurant and ordered a plate of braised dry tofu and half a catty of dumplings, and drank alone.

Manager Jiang came halfway through the drink, and she came over to see me drinking alone.

"Why are you drinking here?" She asked with a smile.

"I won't be able to sleep when I go back, so drink some wine." I said.

She said, "I just wanted to drink something, let's go together."

"That's right, it's boring to be alone." I said.

Manager Jiang sat down and ordered another dish.

"Master Tan, you are quite capable of fighting. You can fight four people by yourself," she said.

I smiled and said: "I didn't see me being beaten up like this. If you don't ask that big brother to come, I guess I will have to be beaten up by them today."

"You too, the other four are also fighting with others, what if it breaks?" She said.

"Fighting is not enough if there are too many people." I said, "The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of death. They have many people, and they are also afraid of my death."

"But you are good at fighting. I went up to pull it but I didn't pull it. They almost fell to the ground. I didn't think I could pull it off, so I called my elder brother. He happened to be drinking tea in the teahouse behind our house, so he came over directly. "she says.

"The eldest brother you are looking for is quite famous, I think those four boys are quite afraid of him." I said.

"His surname is Huang, Brother Huang. He used to be a matchmaker. He is quite rich and well-known in the street. Most people give him face." Manager Jiang said, "Uncle Chef is the son of a kid. He is not even a gangster. Street slipper is about the same, no one pays attention to him. He is thinking about the lack of ability to work in the kitchen, so he comes here to frighten and scare people. If they are really mixed with the underworld in society, they will not be counted at all."

"I just feel that part-time kitchen workers are easy to bully." I said.

"Yes, I just feel that the kitchen workers are honest, and Wuwu Zhaza came over to frighten people. I didn't think about it and I didn't scare people. It's terrible to meet you."

I smiled and had a drink with her.

"Don't worry, Master Tan, Brother Huang is here today, and they all have to give Brother Huang face, and they won't dare to blame you in the future." She said.

"I'm not afraid to look for it, I've already had a fight today anyway, and I don't care if there are more fights," I said.

"Our boss is not at home. If he was at home, this would not have happened." She said.

"The boss is busy enough." I said.

"What is he busy with? Isn't it still asking that woman for money? This time, someone in Shanghai is watching that woman. The boss has gone to Shanghai."

"It's useless to go, it's not so easy to find." I said.

"If you're not reconciled, let's clear up your doubts."

It can only be solved in this way. If you can't find people, you will be unwilling. If you find someone and spend all your money, it will be a waste of money.It is better for people to find the money and get it back, and then throw people in jail.

"Master Tan worked in the provincial capital before?" Manager Jiang asked me.

"Well, I have been working in the provincial capital." I replied.

"Where is it in the provincial capital?"

"Do whatever you want, wherever you make money."

"Have you worked in many places?"

"There are several."

"Are they all big places?"

I smiled and said, "There are also small places, from small restaurants."

"Ask you for someone," she said.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"I guess you can recognize him, and he is also a chef, Zhang Tao," she said.

"I really know him." I said, "Is the Zhang Tao you are talking about a bit fat, not as tall as me, with a round face, good-looking, and good cooking." I said.

She said, "Yes, that's him."

That's right, she was talking about Zhang Tao who had cooked in Shengmei.I haven't seen him since Shengmei left. I heard from Master Chen that he came to Fuxin to work, and later returned to the provincial capital and got married.

"How do you know him?" I asked.

"I met him when he was working at the Xishan Hotel, and I worked as a manager there."

"Then you two have known each other for a long time, probably for ten years?"

"Yes, it should be nine years," she said, and then asked me: "How is he now?"

I said: "We just know each other, we are not very familiar with each other. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I heard that he is married."

"When did you get married? Do you know what his wife does?" she asked.

I said: "I really don't know this. I don't know him well. I met him when I was an apprentice. We worked together for more than a month, and then he left, saying that he came to Fuxin. I don't have a good impression of him." good."

She asked, "Why do you still have a bad impression of him?"

I said, "It's hard to say, we are not the same way."

"He's not good, is he?" she asked.

"You have worked together for a long time, you should know better than me." I said.

"I've made it clear. I'll recognize his bones." She said, with a bit of resentment when she spoke.

I looked at her, she was also a beauty nine years ago.At that time, she was the manager and Zhang Tao was the head chef. They should have had something.

She said: "Don't look at me, I have been with him before, and we lived together for two years."

"Why aren't you together?" I asked.

"Why aren't you together? Huh!" She sneered and said, "That bastard, he's tired of being with me, and he's talking to a waiter behind my back—you said he's married, so he's probably with that waiter."

I said, "I don't know. I only heard about his marriage from other people."
