The story of a cook

Chapter 439 Ready to go to Binhai

Zheng Jiaqi and Sister Jiang’s tavern opened on the tenth day of the new year, and Xiaogao had to go back to Fuxin on the ninth day of the eighth day. On the eighth day of the eighth day, sister Zhao called me to go to her house for dinner, saying that Xiaogao and Li Yanhua were at her house, and Xiaogao was going to invite me to dinner. My sister said that eating at her house happened to be crowded with people.

So I went to sister Zhao's house.

Sister Zhao’s family is crowded today, including Xiao Gao, Li Yanhua, her family’s twin daughters, Lao Wu and me, Sister Zhao and Sister Zhao’s mother.The old lady is very happy today, mainly because she sees that Sister Zhao and Lao Wu are getting along well, and a stone in her heart has fallen to the ground.

When old people are like this, they all want their children to be good.Sister Zhao has her own children's clothing store, and her life is worry-free. Now that she has Lao Wu, she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life, and she can feel at ease as a mother.

Li Yanhua's twin daughters are very lively and beautiful.The main reason is that the family has good genes, and both parents are good-looking.

I asked Li Yanhua if she had returned to her hometown during the Chinese New Year, and she said no. Now her parents and her brother have moved to Masanjia in the provincial capital. The family of four went to Masanjia in the second year of junior high school.

Sister Zhao's mother was very happy during the meal and asked me to drink liquor with her.The old lady was in good spirits, she drank two taels of white wine, and added vegetables to Old Wu from time to time, which made Old Wu feel embarrassed.

"Mom, you eat yours, don't worry about him, he is so grown up and doesn't know how to serve food." Sister Zhao said to the old lady.

"I don't think he's eating much," Zhao's mother said.

"I've eaten a lot." Old Wu said.

"Eat more. If you drive a taxi, you can't eat at the wrong time, and you won't be able to eat well. In the future, you can go home to eat at meal time. The food at home is ready-made and hot." Sister Zhao's mother said, caring for her son-in-law beyond words.

Old Wu nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

Li Yanhua joked: "I said, Old Wu, the aunt will entertain you as soon as you enter the house, and find you cigarettes and water for you. I am afraid that you will be thirsty and hungry. It is better than a daughter-in-law. I didn't Seeing you call mom, do you still want to marry someone else's daughter?"

The old Wu that Li Yanhua said blushed.

Old Wu was clumsy, unable to speak, and looked at Sister Zhao with pleading eyes.

Sister Zhao said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me? You don't want to be called Mom?"

"Yes, no one said no." Old Wu whispered.

"I'd like to call, but we're all watching." Li Yanhua didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Old Wu's face turned even redder, and he seemed to want to scream, but he moved his mouth but was too embarrassed to speak.

Seeing Lao Wu's embarrassing appearance, Sister Zhao's mother made a rescue and said, "What's your name? You can just call me auntie. Xiaohua will make trouble there."

Li Yanhua giggled.

"mom--"

Just when everyone thought that Old Wu couldn't yell out, Old Wu called Mom, and everyone was stunned——

This mother's call is kind, simple and honest, and real.

The old lady who cried out was full of tears——
The old lady who yelled at her mother smiled brightly——
Sister Zhao, who called her mother, smiled with her eyes full——
At this time, the scene was full of warmth and emotion.

"This is a family!" Li Yanhua said with a smile: "Come on, ma'am, wipe away your tears of excitement and joy, let's have a drink together."

Let's raise our glasses together.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the first heavy snowfall of [-] fell in the provincial capital. The snow was so heavy that the news said that the entire expressway was closed, planes were grounded, and snow plows began to plow the streets under the snow. Even buses They all started crawling.

It was snowing heavily outside, so I couldn't go out, so I could only stay indoors.

Brother Li's family of three came back on the tenth day of the lunar new year. There was nothing to do in this snowy day. We cooked a few dishes and started drinking with Brother Li.

"It's snowing so badly, look at it, the surrounding greenhouses will collapse." Brother Li said.

I said, "It's about the same, it's too big."

"The snow hasn't stopped. After it stops, the first thing I do when I go to work is to sweep the snow." Li Ge said.

"Not only you sweep the snow, but the whole provincial capital has to sweep the snow." I said.

At this time, my sister-in-law said: "This is the biggest snowfall in the years since I came to the provincial capital."

"I haven't heard from the news that if it doesn't stop, it will be the biggest snowfall in the provincial capital in 50 years." Li Ge said.

I said: "The snow in [-] was quite heavy, and it fell after the new year. I was working in Shengmei at that time. There was snow in front of the hotel. I asked a bulldozer to push it."

Brother Li said: "Yes, the snow was quite heavy that year, but not as heavy as this one."

Just as I was about to speak, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but I didn't know who it was.

After pressing the answer button, a voice came from the phone: "Old Tan?"

I didn't know who it was, but obviously the other party knew me, so I said, "You are—"

There was a smile, and the laughter was memorable, but I couldn't remember who it was.

"I am old man Binhai."

Come to think of it, it's Mr. Yan, the owner of Binhai Qinghua Pavilion.Quickly said: "Hello, old man."

"Are you going to work or at home?" the old man asked.

"I'm not at work, I'm at home." I said.

"Are you resting?"

"No, I'm not working now, I'm looking for a job."

The old man heard me say that he was looking for a job, and asked, "Are you going to work in the provincial capital?"

I said, "I want to be in the provincial capital."

"Come to Binhai to develop. Binhai has developed well in the past two years, and the catering industry has done very well. There are many chefs in the provincial capital who are developing in Binhai. Most of our chefs are from the provincial capital. The little girl you introduced Chen (Brother Chen Gang) is doing a good job, and he is working as the chef of the bakery."

"That's good. Binhai's catering industry is developing better than the provincial capital." I said.

"You have done it in our family too. You know everything. Xiao Chen is here too. It's good for you to come over." The old man said.

"Now our family lacks a cook?" I asked.

"There is no shortage, it's only the end of the year, and two chefs are leaving."

"Oh, business is doing well now?"

"Our business has always been very good. Now we have three stores. When you came last time, didn't you sell coarse grains? The coarse grains can sell 120 million a month now."

"That's pretty good business."

"Come to Binhai to develop, our family has development." The old man issued an invitation.

I said, "Old man, let me think about it and answer you tomorrow."

"Okay, think about it, let me know when you're done, and then deal with the family affairs, come here directly."

After talking on the phone with the old man, Brother Li asked, "The boss you work in Binhai is looking for you?"

I said, "Yes, tell me to go to him."

Brother Li said: "It depends on how much you give, and if you give more, go."

I said, "I gave you three thousand and five last time."

"What if it's in the provincial capital?" Brother Li asked.

"Three thousand." I said.

"If you want me to say that I would rather earn [-] at home than go to Binhai to earn [-], whoever abandons his family and business, can he leave his wife and children at home?" said the sister-in-law.

I said, "That's true. It's hard to find a job in the provincial capital now. I belong to that group."

Brother Li said: "If you can earn five hundred more, it's five hundred. It's better than staying at home. The main thing is that you don't want to be like last time. You didn't earn the money and came back sick."

I said, "Last time was bad luck, just in time for the outbreak of frozen shoulder."

The sister-in-law said: "Yes, even if you didn't earn any money last time, all the money you earned was spent on medical treatment."

I smiled, thinking whether to go or not?
Brother Li said: "Let's go and see first. Lin Yan can't go to work now, and she is taking care of the children at home. Isn't it necessary to take care of her younger brother's children this year?"

"Not this year." I said.

"Even if Jiaheng goes to kindergarten, it will take the second half of the year. You and Lin Yan have to have someone who goes to work and earns money. If he doesn't earn money, what will the eldest son do to support him? Now the provincial capital can't find a job and can't stay at home. Stay, you have three thousand and five elements, go do it, don't stay at home." Li Ge said.

That's exactly what Lee said.

I said, "It's okay to go and do it, as long as you can do it there."

"It's better to be able to grow up. Work for two years, save some money, and don't buy a house in the future? Besides, Jiaheng needs money to go to kindergarten and school. You don't have anything to rely on. Earn money while you are young." Li Ge said , and then said: "Binhai is not far from the provincial capital. It takes four hours to get there by train. There are still many trains from the provincial capital to Binhai. I miss my child and come back by car at night. The next day I will play with the child at home for a day, and take the train at night. Just go back, don't delay anything."

I said, "That's true."

"Lin Yan is capable. She can take care of her own children at home. She has already taken care of two children. It is not easy to take care of one child now. The two of you have the same goal now, to make money." Brother Li said.

I said, "No, I have to earn money, and I can't live without earning money."

Brother Li said: "Why don't you use money for what you are doing now? You will have money at home later. Hurry up and make money."

At this time, my sister-in-law who disapproved of my going to other places said: "Old Tan, you can't do anything. You can go to Binhai to see if you can do it. If your health is fine, you can work there for a long time and earn money. Money matters."

I said, "Lin Yan and Jia Heng will have to trouble you to take care of me after I leave."

The sister-in-law said: "What's the trouble, just help me."

Brother Li said: "It's useless to talk about it. What are the two of us talking about? After closing the door, we are a family. What is the difference between this and a family? You should go away. You don't need to take care of family affairs. I and you Sister-in-law, you can rest assured."

To be honest, Brother Li and his sister-in-law are really kind to my family, just like my own brother and sister-in-law.

There are such neighbors contented.

Decided to work in Binhai Qinghua Pavilion.

I called Lin Yan and told her that I decided to go to Binhai to work. Lin Yan said yes and expressed support, as long as I call her salary every month.

This terrible mother-in-law just accepts money.

I asked her when she would come back, and she said that she couldn't go back even if she wanted to, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and no traffic was allowed, so she told me to leave her alone, she should go away, and she would go back to the provincial capital when the traffic opened.

She couldn't come back for a while, and she wanted to see her son before going to Binhai, and it seemed impossible to stay with him for a day before leaving.In addition, I really want to make out with Lin Yan. I haven't done anything together for more than two years, and no one can stand it.

If husband and wife are not together for a long time, they will become unfamiliar and their relationship will fade.

Now that I have decided to go to Binhai, I started to buy train tickets.Due to the Spring Festival travel season and the heavy snowfall, planes could not take off and highways could not be used. All travelers began to choose railways, and train tickets were no longer available. There were no train tickets to Binhai within five days.

I told the old man about the situation, and the old man said that there is no rush, and he will come whenever he buys a ticket.That's what I said, but I was still very anxious, I went to work one day earlier and earned money one day earlier.

Zhou Xiaomei came to my house on the [-]th day of the first lunar month and had a meal with her. She said that if she didn't work there this year, she would go to mine and go to Binhai to develop.I said wait until I am stable in Binhai. If I can’t stabilize in Binhai, it’s useless for her to go.This is the benefit of leading people, you have to be responsible.

During the two days I was waiting for the ticket at home, I also received a call from the wife of the department store at home, saying that her girl was going out to work and came to the provincial capital to find me. I said I was going to Binhai and not working in the provincial capital.She said that going to Binhai is fine, and asked her girl to follow me to Binhai.It's a bit dumbfounding, but the old family's request has to be done. I told her that I would ask if there is a shortage of waiters over there, and if there is any shortage, I will bring it there.Then I called the old man and said that he was going to bring a waiter there. The old man said yes, because there is a shortage of waiters in the store.

I bought a train ticket to Binhai on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, so I asked the proprietress of the department store to buy a train ticket to Binhai for her children. This train was from Chifeng to Binhai, passing through the provincial capital, and I was on the train Find her child.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, I boarded the train to Binhai.
