The story of a cook

Chapter 413 Days
After the Thai food was served, it was sold well in the first few days, and many customers ordered a bit to try it.

Due to the availability of Thai food, the click-through rate of the hot dishes has dropped slightly, and it is not too busy.In addition, during the Chinese New Year period, the common people have almost enough to eat, and there is no shortage of oil and water in their stomachs. Restaurants have begun to enter the off-season for nearly a month after the Spring Festival.

I want to go home and have a look.

Lin Yan is still in her hometown in Beipiao and is going back to the provincial capital in two days. I plan to go back to Beipiao directly, stay at home for two days, and then go back to the provincial capital with Lin Yan. After staying in the provincial capital for a day, I will return to work in the hotel.It takes a week to go back and forth like this.

Now the restaurant is not busy, so I just walked away. After this period of time, the restaurant became busy and I couldn't leave.I told the head chef about my plan, and the head chef was very generous and readily agreed.

Say hello to Sister Jiang before going home, she and Xie Xiufen's restaurant will have to be renovated in a month, I won't delay when I go home.I told Sister Jiang that I have to continue to practice cooking and cold dishes at home. I can’t just say that I can do it and stop practicing. I have to reach a proficiency level before opening.

Tell Zheng Jiaqi and Xiao Gao that there is something to discuss when I'm not around, and if you can't solve it, call me.Zheng Jiaqi said what could happen, as long as I was here, no one would bother them.

After everything was arranged, I went back directly to Beipiao.

I haven't seen my mother for more than a year, and I haven't seen my son for four months. I think so.

My mother is in good health and more energetic than before.Seeing my mother well, more than anything else, is what I miss the most.

My son can already sit up.

I haven't seen any growth in a few months, not only can I sit, but I can also coax people.

Seeing his son happy, he hugged him up.My son was not unfamiliar, he stared at me with wide eyes, and after a while he touched my face with his small hand, as if to confirm whether I was his father.

Lin Yan asked, "Has your son grown up?"

I said, "It's grown, it's so big, and it's heavy."

"You said it was heavy just a few times in the hug, but I don't think it's heavy when I hug it every day." Lin Yan said.

I laughed and kissed my son on the cheek.My son saw that I kissed him, and he kissed me on the face in turn.

I smile happily.

My mother was sitting on the kang, and I put my son on the kang, and my son quickly crawled to his mother's side and sat next to his mother. The mother half put her arms around her son, and said to her son, "Who hugged you just now? Is it your father?" ?”

The son was babbling and talking to his mother.

The mother said: "Look at your stinky dad. He didn't even say to buy something delicious for the child when he went home, and he didn't come back to celebrate the New Year with his grandson. Let's not want it."

I smiled embarrassingly.

Lin Yan said: "Look, my mother told you."

I can only laugh along with you.

The mother said that as long as the eldest grandson is with her, it doesn't matter if I come back or not, but she actually misses me.As the saying goes, the old boy and the grandson are the lifeblood of the old man.I haven't seen the day for four months, and I think that I can't be cured. My mother is only an old son. I haven't seen him for a year. She also misses me very much and misses me.

I stayed at home quietly for two days, enjoying the warmth of a family of four, old and young, and three generations together. On the third day, I took the bus back to the provincial capital and returned to my home in the provincial capital.

No one has lived in the house for four months. It feels a little damp when I enter the house, but the heating is very good and it is very hot.Neighbor Brother Li was very happy to see that our family of three came back, and immediately started cooking.Brother Li is like a real brother, this is not an exaggeration, brother Li and I are like brothers.

The happiest thing is Li Ge’s little Lele, she started playing with her son as soon as we entered the house, and my son also likes to be with the young lady, without crying or fussing.

During the meal, Brother Li asked me if I would still go to Fuxin, and I said yes, the restaurant over there is okay.

"If you can't, come back and do it. You said that there are three people in your family, and the child is so young, and you still live in two places." Brother Li said.

I said, "I can't help it, I can't earn money to support my family."

"It's not that there is no work in the provincial capital. If you earn less, you can earn less." Li Ge said.

"I can't stay at home for a few days when he goes out to work." Lin Yan said: "Zhihao's wife can still take care of the baby at home for half a month, and then go to BJ, I have to go home and help my mother take the baby."

"If you don't take care of them, who will raise the child? They know that they will go out to earn money and let you take care of the child, but don't take care of it." Li Ge's sister-in-law said unhappily.

"You said that thing, whoever called Lin Yan is the eldest sister, and if you can take it for two days." Li Ge said.

"It's so tiring to take care of the children. Our family's Jiaheng is enough to take care of them. Who can bear to take care of other children." The sister-in-law said: "Lin Yan, tell them not to take them, even if you give them money. I have a son myself, take care of my son at home."

"Auntie, I don't allow you to take your brother away." Xiao Lele shouted loudly.

"No, Auntie won't go." Lin Yan said.

To be honest, I don't want Lin Yan to take care of the children of Zhihao's family. It's tiring enough to take care of one child, and it's unbearable to take two children at once.But Zhihao and his wife left the child at home and the mother-in-law really couldn't do it alone. Lin Yan felt sorry for the mother-in-law and had to help take care of the child.

It can be said that the children of Zhihao's family grew up on Lin Yan's milk.No matter how Zhihao and his wife are, it depends on how the child will treat her aunt when he grows up.

At night, I wanted to make out with Lin Yan, but Lin Yan pushed me away and said she didn't want to, not at all, for fear of waking the child.He told me that thinking about it now makes me feel annoyed, maybe I'm sick.I'm talking nonsense, what kind of disease is young, it's tired.She said she wasn't tired, she just didn't want to, she didn't mean anything at all, she only thought about her son.If I really can't hold it back, I can find a young lady outside to solve it, or it's okay to be an iron man, she won't be angry.I didn't pay much attention to it, I thought she was just tired, so if I told her she didn't want to, I just had to bear it.

Originally planned to return to Fuxin the next day, Jiang Runping and Li Jian knew that our family of three had returned, and they all brought their partners with them, and they had another day of fun at home.

Li Jian liked his son very much, and he was his son's godfather when he was born. This time he was very happy to see his son, and his son also looked for him.

After making home arrangements, I returned to Fuxin.

When I returned to the restaurant, I found that the Thai food was gone. Ms. Jiang said that on the second day after I left, a table customer ordered spicy crab, and they had a bad stomach. They reported it to the epidemic prevention station. The epidemic prevention station checked that the crabs were not fresh. The customer who had a bad stomach paid for medical expenses and lost wages, and paid a fine of 5000 yuan.The boss asked the master who contracted the Thai food stall to bear the cost. The master said he would bear it, and then he ran away and quit.

"Guests just eat something new, Thai food can't be sold here, no way," said Sister Jiang.

"The boss is not reconciled if he doesn't try, but this time he is reconciled." I said.

Sister Jiang said: "If you think about it, you will come out. If you come and go, the 1 yuan will be gone, and the total will be sold for 1 yuan. It's a nonsense."

I joked: "Life lies in sports, and life lies in tossing."

"If it's like this, I think the restaurant will be ruined after two days of tossing."

"No, this big business is forbidden to toss, and it won't be yellow for a while."

"Why not yellow?" Sister Jiang said: "When the epidemic prevention station came, the shop was closed. I was the one who said it was not closed. The leader of the epidemic prevention station and my brother-in-law are very good. My brother-in-law said something and fined him a symbolic [-] yuan. , otherwise it will be closed that day."

"So serious?" I asked.

"What do you think about it? It's not just one person who got a bad stomach, four, more than three people are group incidents, and they have to be reported." Sister Jiang said.

I nodded, that's true. A bad stomach is food poisoning. The nature can be big or small. If it's small, it can be solved privately. You can pay the guest some money, pay the lost wages, and the hotel is responsible for all the medical expenses of the guest. Just understand each other.More than three people belong to collective food poisoning, and the epidemic prevention station has the right to close the store, require the restaurant to rectify the food hygiene, and open when it passes the inspection.Once a restaurant is sealed up because of food hygiene, it is almost destroyed.

Fortunately, Sister Jiang has a relationship with her brother-in-law, otherwise I will be laid off when I come back.

"How's the bistro decor going?" I asked.

"These two days will be stopped first, the temperature is low, and the cement cannot be moved outside, so it will be delayed for two days." Sister Jiang said.

"Is everything all over there?" I asked.

"I'm done with the work inside, and I'm going to sell the stove tomorrow and go to the provincial capital."

I said, "I'll be back one day late, and help them buy the stove."

"No, Xiufen has been dating her for so many years, why don't you understand? You can buy it," said Sister Jiang.

"Have the tables, chairs and benches been fixed?" I asked.

"This time, we ordered the provincial capital together, as well as the staff uniforms," ​​said Sister Jiang.

I chatted with Sister Jiang again, and Sister Jiang said that she would go to her house after get off work in the evening. Sister Xie Xiufen was going to make four cold dishes, and her sister-in-law was going to make dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut.

Back to the kitchen, the kitchen is still the same.

Everyone was very happy when I came back. I was very popular in the kitchen for more than four months, and everyone recognized me and was very good.The happiest one was Bao Peng. When he saw me, he said, "Master, you are back. You want to kill me."

I looked at him and asked, "Really? Do you really want to pretend?"

"If you really want to, then imagine."

"What do you want me to do? I'll take care of you when I come back."

"Just take care of me, master, you don't know, I don't know what to do when you're not here these days."

Look at him and smile, and pat him on the shoulder approvingly.

Children are like this, if you treat him well, he will remember you forever, if you don't treat him well, he will remember you forever, but the result is different.

Now Bao Peng doesn't go to Internet cafes to play games, and Dawei won't go after playing games for a year. This is a good thing.

I was influenced by Master Chen when it came to taking care of my younger brother. It was he who took me seriously back then before I embarked on the path of a chef. Now that I have the ability to take care of my younger brother, I naturally take care of my younger brother like he took me.

It is true to learn from whoever you are.

Like Chinese New Year every year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I will call Master Chen, Master, the eldest brother, the eldest brother, and the fourth child to pay New Year's greetings, because they are all kind to me and have helped me, and I will remember them all my life. They are noble people in my life.

I will also receive New Year greeting calls from Zhao Gang, Zhang Jun, Meng Hongwei, Yang Zhijun, Jin Jie, Wang Chunlai, and Du Dapeng, because I have taken them with me and they remember me.

Those who love will return, and those who are blessed will come.

Has anyone offended?Of course there is.Don't expect the offended person to forgive you. If offending him is for his own good or is right, don't feel guilty. He will know that you are for his own good if he understands. If he doesn't understand, he won't understand. With a clear conscience.If you offend others for your own self-interest, to be honest, you are doing something out of your conscience. If you don't need others to look for you, you will have trouble sleeping and eating, and you are afraid that ghosts will knock on the door in the middle of the night.

We're just cooks, we don't have much ability, we don't want to be rich and powerful all our lives, just live in peace and security.Get your home settled and live a good life.Be filial to your superiors, fulfill your responsibilities to your subordinates, be courteous to your relatives, be loyal to your friends, don’t eat poisonous things, don’t do illegal things, don’t have to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha’s name, just be content with peace of mind.

If you want to talk about your ambitions and ideals, when you were studying, your ideal was to get into the university and get ahead, but you didn’t succeed in your studies, so you embarked on the road of part-time work.My ideal now is to have a stable home, cook well, save money, and open my own restaurant.

If I really have an ambition, it is to make some achievements in catering and try my best to carry forward the Northeast cuisine.

It is my ambition after becoming a chef to make Northeast cuisine well, become famous, and blossom all over the country like Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine.Maybe I can't finish it in this life, but I will try my best to do it.

If you want to do a good job in your big ambitions, you must first achieve your own small ideals, that is, to organize your home and live a good life.Talking about ideals and ambitions without solving one's own food and clothing problems is empty talk. It's empty talk if you say it nicely, and it's bragging if you say it badly.

People have to be pragmatic and down-to-earth at all times.

Now we are married, have a daughter-in-law, have a son, my mother is in good health, everything is fine at home, and there are no worries.The rest is to work hard, earn money as soon as possible, sell the house first, and then buy a car. With some savings in hand, open a restaurant. This is what I want to accomplish.When I finish these things, I will study the Northeast cuisine carefully, and take good care of my younger brothers, so that they will like Northeast cuisine when they follow me.

It is impossible for one person to make Northeast cuisine bigger, but I can bring them together to make it together.
