The story of a cook

Chapter 421 Stomach Pain
Ye Yurong hadn't invited her to dinner since he came to the restaurant, mainly because he was too busy and didn't spare time.

On Monday, the restaurant was not too busy, so I called Xiao Gao, Ye Yurong, and Zheng Jiaqi after get off work in the evening, and called Sister Jiang, and the five of us went to the dumpling restaurant for dinner.

On the way there, Zheng Jiaqi whispered to me that at noon the boss told her that he wanted to invite her to drink tea at night, but she refused.After she finished speaking, I was taken aback for a moment, and then I realized that the boss had taken a fancy to her.

The boss is about the same age as Zheng Jiaqi, not less than two years old.Zheng Jiaqi is single, beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and has a good temper. The boss thinks she is normal.

Thinking of her relationship with Mr. Huo in Linjiangxuan, he joked with her: "Why is it that the boss likes you?"

"They're all men," she said, and then, "Keep your voice down so they don't hear you."

Xiao Gao and Ye Yurong chatted and walked forward, while Sister Jiang was on the phone.

"I don't like him like that, it's a bit unmasculine." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"You can go everywhere if you feel like it," I said.

"Where are you going? No, if you want to go, you have to go back to the provincial capital." She said.

I said, "That's right." Then I asked, "Did Sister Jiang tell you about asking you to become the manager of the tavern?"

"Tell me." She replied, and then asked me: "Boss, do you think I will go?"

I said, "Think about it yourself. I feel that as a store manager, you want to open such a tavern. It's just an opportunity to get familiar with how to operate it."

"I thought so too. Why do you work for two months? At least you know how to do it, so you don't get caught blind when you do it yourself." She said.

"Then you can go there, it can be regarded as helping sister Jiang." I said.

"When the time comes, tell the head chef, I need someone to replace me when I leave," she said.

"I will arrange this." I said.

After ordering at the dumpling restaurant, Sister Jiang said, "Brother Tan, let's go to see the restaurant tomorrow. Xiufen found a place, a dumpling restaurant with an area of ​​[-] square meters, which is quite good."

I asked, "Didn't you say where?"

"The street of the Mining Bureau is not bad, it's a residential area." Sister Jiang said.

"Go and have a look tomorrow, is the dumpling restaurant still open?" I asked.

Sister Jiang said: "It's still open, but business is not good, so we can exchange it outside. Xiufen said the decoration is pretty good."

"Didn't ask how much money to exchange?" I asked.

"Forty thousand, the rent is [-] per year, paid once a year." Sister Jiang said.

"That's okay." I said.

The bistro is done up.

Although I thought it would work when I designed it for others, I still had no idea before opening the business. Now I feel relieved after doing it.If you can't do this, you will feel uncomfortable, and you can't get back the money you invested.

If you make money, you are a good friend. If you say that you, Lao Tan, are a good person, if you don’t make money, you will be a sinner through the ages.

While drinking, I asked Ye Yurong if she got used to it now, and she said she got used to it and it was good, especially because Sister Jiang took great care of her.Now she and Zheng Jiaqi are both living at Sister Jiang's house, and the three of them get along very well.

I asked: "Your child is about to go to school, where should I go at home first?"

She said, "Well, let's do it at home first, and if it doesn't work, I'll take it to the provincial capital."

Sister Jiang said: "What's the matter, are you still going back to the provincial capital? You can do it in Fuxin, and bring the children to Fuxin, and leave the school to me, and I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you in advance, sister." Ye Yurong said: "I'll do it at home first, and my parents will take care of it. If it doesn't work, I'll talk about it." Then he said: "It's not normal for me to work here. I'm here today and there tomorrow. It’s okay to work in one place for a long time.”

"I might as well find someone here for you, so that you don't have to run around here and there," Sister Jiang said.

"That's good enough." Ye Yurong said: "I'm not easy to find, so don't worry about it, young man. It's impossible for people to want me like this. I don't dare to look for a second marriage. I have a child. If the other party also What do you do with a child? I'm the stepmother and he's the stepfather." After speaking, she smiled helplessly.

"This is fate, and everything is easy to solve when it comes to fate." Sister Jiang said: "There are a lot of divorces, and they all find other people, and I don't see how many people are alone. Look at the boss's brother-in-law, It's time for the children to get married, and they are divorced, so they don't get along well with our family? They are also divorced, and they are both married. "

"The two of them have grown up children, and if the children don't follow me, don't my children live with me?" Ye Yurong said.

"Tell you that children are not a burden. Your children are young and don't understand anything. If you understand something on the [-]th or [-]th, you can understand it." Sister Jiang said.

"Girls are sensible, and generally understand being a mother." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"Hey, let's talk about it. I don't have the heart to think about that right now. Let's make money first." Ye Yurong said.

It is not easy for a divorced woman to bring up a child.

Speaking of children, Sister Jiang asked Xiao Gao: "Master Gao, how old are your children? Boys and girls?"

Xiao Gao said: "Six years old, girls, twins."

"Twins?" Sister Jiang said with her eyes wide open, "You are so lucky, let's go and enjoy the blessings when we are old."

Xiao Gao smiled and said, "They say my life is good, and I think it's pretty good."

"Do you think about not being able to see the child for a long time?" Sister Jiang asked.

"Think about it, call when you think about it, and chat with the child." Xiao Gao said.

Zheng Jiaqi said enviously: "Your daughter-in-law is so powerful, she gave birth to two children at once, how did she do it?"

Xiao Gao was very humorous and said: "It should be said that I am amazing, she would not have been born without me."

After speaking, everyone laughed.

"Your wife is from Beipiao?" Ye Yurong asked.

"Well, from Beipiao, I'm Uncle Beipiao." Xiao Gao said.

Ye Yurong thought of something, and said to me: "Boss, Xiao Yang said that he seems to have seen you somewhere." She was talking about Yaru's sister-in-law.

I said, "Really? I have no impression of her. This is the first time I've seen her, and I haven't seen her before."

"She said she worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the provincial capital before she got married," Ye Yurong said.

"I don't know her among the waiters." I thought for a while and said.

"The main reason is that your hair style is too iconic and easy to remember." Zheng Jiaqi joked.

I touched my bald head and said, "Really? I don't think so."

People are like this, they don't know their own characteristics, but others know them.Like a name, it belongs to oneself and is always called by others.

After Ye Yurong finished speaking, the matter passed away, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He never thought that Xiao Yang was Yaru's sister-in-law, and didn't think about it.

Everyone drank together, very happy, and went back to the dormitory directly after drinking.I woke up with a stomachache at around [-]:[-] in the middle of the night. It was very painful, and it hurt when I twisted it. I was so painful that I bent over on the bed, like a prawn.

Stomach pain for the first time, never had pain before.Could it be that he drank alcohol?I didn't drink much alcohol, and now I don't drink as much as before. Today I only drink half a catty of white wine, which is much less than before. Why does my stomach hurt?

There was no painkiller around me, so I wanted to get up and go to the pharmacy to buy some, but the pain was so bad that I couldn't even stand up, and I was sweating in pain.I wanted to wake Xiao Gao up and ask him to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, thinking that it was already midnight and he was sleeping soundly, so I was sorry to disturb him.

Bear with it, it's almost three o'clock, and it's dawn at four o'clock. When it's dawn, I go downstairs to buy medicine. If it doesn't work, I go to the hospital to see what's going on.

I endured it like this, and the pain lasted for four to ten minutes. I don't know if it was numb or overwhelmed, but the pain was not so painful and I could sit up.Sitting on the bed, there is a thermos pot on the small table beside the bed, pour a cup of hot water from it, and feel much more comfortable.

I remember when I was a child, I often saw my father had a stomachache. When he was in pain, he bent over and lay on the kang. My mother beat my father's back with her fist.The father was in great pain, and the mother looked sad and worried.

When the pain was the most just now, he moaned involuntarily, and swallowed hard for fear of disturbing Xiao Gao's sleep.I thought it would be nice if someone beat my back, it wouldn't hurt so much.

No one around, bear with it.

After three o'clock, the pain started again, and the pain was worse than before, as if someone had grabbed my stomach.Pushing the pillow against my stomach, half lying on the bed, the pain turned into a prawn again.

Unbearable pain, worrying.

Ten minutes passed, the pain subsided slightly, and the window began to light up.Put on your clothes, bow your back, cover your stomach with your hands, and go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

The pharmacy is not open yet.

He knocked hard on the door, and someone inside asked, "What are you doing?"

"Buy stomach medicine, stomach hurts." I said.

People looking at me through the glass of the door look at me in pain.Question: "What kind of stomach medicine? Sanjiu Weitai or Gastritis Tablets?"

"One bottle of the same." I said.

Whatever it is, come together.

After buying the medicine, I grinned and said thank you, and went back to the dormitory and quickly drank the same three pills.Don't care about anything else, it's stomach medicine anyway, so take it first.

Maybe it's a psychological effect. After taking the medicine, I don't feel any pain for 10 minutes, and I feel much better.After drinking another cup of hot water, the cat lay on the bed with its back bent, and fell asleep in a daze.

After tossing and tossing for more than three hours, I was tired and slept until nine o'clock before being woken up by Xiao Gao.

"Brother Tan, do you have a stomachache?" He saw the stomach medicine on my bedside table.

"Yes, my stomach hurts, my fart hurts, I bought the medicine at the pharmacy first." I said.

"When did you go? You didn't call me." He said.

"You were sleeping at that time, and I didn't call you." I said, "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt now."

"Should I go to the hospital to have a look?" he asked.

I said, "No, it doesn't hurt now. If it hurts again, go to the hospital."

"Did you drink yesterday?" he asked.

"I didn't drink much yesterday. I drank more than this before and it didn't hurt." I said, "It's probably gastritis, acute."

He said: "Drink less from the bar, Brother Tan, you drink too much, you look scary."

I said, "I really have to drink less of this wine in the future. Now it's a signal, and if I drink any more, I'll get my stomach perforated."

He said: "I can't stop drinking less. Every time you drink a glass in the future, I will watch you."

"Okay, look at me." I smiled.

My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, but I was afraid that it would still hurt later, so I took two more Sanjiuweitai and one gastritis tablet, and then took the medicine to work.

People only pay attention to their bodies when they are sick. At that time, they think of everything and tell themselves that they must quit smoking and drinking. Whoever said that they should stop smoking or drinking.After the illness is cured, forget everything, still smoke cigarettes, drink wine as usual.

The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten.

Communicated with the head chef about Zheng Jiaqi's resignation, the head chef agreed, and found another girl with a better image. Zheng Jiaqi took it with her for three days. Tavern manager.

Sister Jiang and I went to see the store Xie Xiufen mentioned during the lunch break.The store is on the street of the Mining Bureau, opposite the Mining Bureau community, east of Fuxin No. [-] Middle School, backed by the Mining Bureau, and the location is very good.In the past, when the Mining Bureau was good, the business of every family in this street was good, but now the business of the Mining Bureau is not good, and the business of every family is declining.But this place is okay. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad the Mining Bureau is, it is the largest enterprise in Fuxin, and there are still many people with spending power.In addition, the community of the Mining Bureau opposite is a mature old community with spending power.If it is a new community, it is not necessarily the case. They are all new residents, and the general spending power is not enough.

Open a restaurant in front of a mature community, do not choose a newly developed community.

The owner of the restaurant is a middle-aged woman in her 40s who is easy to talk to and still has two months' rent left.That is to say, after two months of renovation, there is no need to pay rent, which indirectly saves a lot of money.

Tell Sister Jiang that this restaurant is OK, and you can redeem it.The kitchen equipment inside can be used, and there is no need to buy anything, but the tableware does not match the bistro and needs to be replaced.The overall decoration style does not match the tavern and needs to be redecorated.The tables, chairs and benches are very new, solid wood, and can be used, even better than the tables, chairs and benches in the bistro.

I asked Sister Jiang if the retail houses on this street would be relocated?Sister Jiang said that she would not be relocated, and she would have known about it if she had been relocated.I said then cash it out and sign a one-time five-year contract with the landlord, or else quit.Sister Jiang nodded and said that was the case.
