The story of a cook

Chapter 440 Returning to Binhai
The first thing I did after getting on the train was to find the daughter of the proprietress of the department store in my hometown.

The little girl was on a train in the middle of the night, and she was listlessly leaning against the window, drowsy.Find her, take her to my car, sit with me

The person next to him returned the seat, and then called her mother, saying that she had seen her daughter and reassuring her.

The little girl is called Fang Lin, she is 19 years old, she is considered a big girl, she is not too tall, she is medium.At first glance, it belongs to the kind of personality with a lot of personality. With makeup, it can't be seen that it is a child from the countryside, with a bit of rebellion.

I asked her why she wanted to come out to work, and she said that she didn't want to stay at home and wanted to come out to have fun.He told me that he worked as a waiter in the Beipiao Hotel for two months, but then he quit because he felt that the place was too small and there was nothing to do.Later, when she wanted to work in the provincial capital, her mother refused to let her, saying that she was afraid that she would fail studying abroad.

"What kind of bad can an adult like me learn? If you want to learn bad, you have to learn early." She said with a straight face.

I asked, "Then why did your mother let you out this time?"

"I told her that this year I will not be at home, so I will come out to work, and I have to let it go." She said a little proudly: "Even if I don't come to Binhai with you, I plan to go with my classmates. provincial capital."

"My mother was looking at you that day. You are okay. I met your mother. She went to my house to buy things. My mother said that your mother is good, and your mother is really good. I haven't heard anyone say that your mother is not good. .My mother means that if I go out, I have to follow someone reliable, otherwise she won't be at ease."

It's not that her mother doesn't worry about it, anyone else doesn't worry about having such a girl.

Fang Lin and Qiuping are different.Qiuping came out to work because her family was in difficulty. She came out to work to earn money to help the family share some burdens.Fang Lin is different. Her family does not lack the little money she earns from working part-time. She comes out to work purely for fun, so that she will not be under the control of her parents at home and come out to let herself go.

Looking at her like this, she is also a little girl at home, not very obedient.

I don't know if it's right or wrong to promise her mother to take her. Such a child is difficult to control.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she said to me: "Look at me, I'm actually quite capable, but I have a little temper. When I was a waiter in Beipiao, I was the only waiter in the restaurant. I did everything, and I took it all by myself. .”

"Then why don't you work there? It's so nice to be close to home." I asked.

"It's not that I don't want to work there, you don't know, our Beipiao is quite chaotic, there are fights in the restaurant all day long, and there are some flirtatious people, they flirt with me when they see I'm good-looking, annoy them to talk about me, and don't do it when they get angry It's gone," she said.

She said he was good-looking, but I really didn't know where to look. Maybe it was because she got on the train in Beipiao in the middle of the night and didn't comb her hair and wash her face after sitting in the train in the middle of the night. Her hair was a bit messy and her face was not energetic. She is upper-middle class, so I can't say she is beautiful. If she was taller, she would be about the same size as Ye Yurong.

I asked, "Is this the first time you have traveled so far?"

"Then you underestimate me." She said: "I have been to BJ, the provincial capital. I went to BJ with my mother. I went to see a doctor for my mother. My mother was sick and had a lung disease. She is cured now. Go to the province I went to the city by myself. My classmate was working there and asked me to go too. After I went, I found out that I was a lady, the kind who sings with guests in a karaoke hall. I only found out after I went, and told me when I didn’t It was the waiter, but she also said that she was in the karaoke bar, and she didn't say that she had to sing with the guests. I thought about it and told her that it was fine. I said that I was a little tired that night, and I went to work tomorrow. She was still sleeping in the next morning, so I sat down The train came back, and when I came back, my mother asked me why I didn’t do it and came back, and I said I didn’t want to do it and came back without telling my mother what was going on.”

"Actually, it's better not to come back that time. It's just to sing and sing with the guests, not to sleep with the guests. What's the point, and to make money. It's because I'm timid and feel bad. If I don't come back now, tell you that I Sings nicely, really."

After listening to her, I looked at her and felt that I was in trouble.

"I told my mother this year that I would go to the provincial capital to work, and my mother agreed. You were shopping at my house that day. After you left, my mother told me to go to the provincial capital to contact you. You can take care of me. I I told my mother that I don’t need to take care of myself as an adult, I can take care of myself. I planned to go to the provincial capital when I was sixteen, but my mother called you and said that you would no longer work in the provincial capital and go to Binhai, and told me to go to Binhai too. When I heard about Binhai, I thought it was very good. Everyone said that Binhai is good, and I can look at the sea. I haven’t seen the sea yet, so I promised my mother to come with you. Otherwise, I won’t call you when I go to the provincial capital to save trouble. you."

I'm a little speechless.

Her mother felt that she was worried about going out by herself, and wanted to find a family member to take care of her, but she didn't want someone to take care of her at all. She came to Binhai just for fun, and she had never seen the sea to see the sea.

What can children do now?

When I arrived at Binhai at one o'clock in the afternoon, I got off the train and took a taxi directly to the Qinghua Pavilion office. The old man was waiting for me there.

After seeing the old man, they exchanged a few pleasantries, and then went straight to the topic.

The old man said: "Don't leave when you come back now, let's work here for a long time."

I said, "Of course it's good to have a longer job. I also want to have a longer job. It depends on whether the last time will happen again."

"I can't, last time you accumulated it for a long time, just in time for our family to explode." The old man said.

I smiled and said, "It was a pity last time, otherwise I would have been here for a long time."

"It's not too late." The old man said: "Let me tell you about our family's situation first. We now have three stores. You are familiar with the old store and coarse grains. The new one is a bakery. It has been open for more than a year and has achieved great benefits. It’s okay, Xiao Chen worked as the head chef there, and he did a good job. The big Liu on the coarse grains side has left, and now the head chef is Xiao Wei, who is quite capable. The head chef of the old dumpling restaurant has also changed. Can you introduce The head chef quit last year. Now the head chef is named Zhao, who is also an old employee of our family. He does a good job. The deputy chef is named Du. He is from Tieling, my hometown. When I came here, I came with me. He is very capable and affordable. .You can be regarded as re-employment when you come back, and I will arrange you to cook in the old shop, do you think it will work?"

Everyone is coming, cooking is everywhere, whatever the arrangement counts.

I said, "Okay, I can arrange it anywhere."

Seeing that I promised to come down, the old man said: "We have to sign a contract when we come back. We can't leave after a few months, at least one year."

I laughed, thinking that I was planning to work for a long time, so I said, "Okay, it's okay to work here for a year without any accidents."

The old man took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to me. I glanced at it, and it was a temporary contract, the main one of which was to guarantee to work here for one year.

After a brief look, he said to the old man: "My old man, your contract is very simple, but it's okay, there are constraints on each other."

"It's just a gentleman's agreement. It's far from finding a formal labor contract. Take a look. Do you have any requirements?" the old man asked.

"There are no requirements, but my mother is old. She is 73 this year. During the Chinese New Year, I have to go home to spend the New Year with my mother. I cannot spend the Spring Festival here." I said.

"You're right. How can a person be without parents? You should go back. I'll make a note of it. During the Chinese New Year, you go home to celebrate the New Year." After finishing speaking, the old man wrote down on the contract that I went home for the Ghost Year.

After talking about these old men, he called the dormitory administrator and asked the administrator to arrange a dormitory for me, and then called the head chef of the old shop and told him that I would go to work the next day.After arranging this, Fang Lin and I came out of the office and led her to the dormitory.

Go to the dormitory and meet the dormitory manager.The administrator's surname is Meng, and everyone calls him Brother Meng. He is from Tieling. He is an old subordinate of the old man. He used to be an administrator in the unit.Brother Meng still knows me, and he was very warm when we met.

First arranged a bed for Fang Lin in the women's dormitory, and then led me to a small room, which was an inner and outer room. The inner room was already occupied, and I lived in the outer room.Brother Meng said that this was specially arranged by the old man. He arranged a single room for me, and ten people shared a room for everyone else.I asked who lived in the house inside?Brother Meng said that he is a Cantonese master who does miscellaneous things in coarse grains.It seems that Ah Jian, who used to be a handyman, quit, and found a new one.

After arranging the accommodation and making the bed, Brother Meng came to find me and said that the little girl I brought was looking for me.

The employees of the entire group live on the first floor, with men's dormitories on the west and women's dormitories on the east, and men and women cannot share dormitories with each other.Brother Meng was in the first room just upstairs, and he had to send a message or call someone for anything.Sometimes I don't bother Brother Meng, we all have phones, just make a call to each other.It's just that Fang Lin didn't have a phone call.

When I came to the entrance of the dormitory, Fang Lin stood there waiting for me to come over.

"What's the matter?" I asked her.

She said a little wronged: "I'm hungry, I haven't eaten since last night."

I forgot that she didn't eat. I'm not very hungry, and I didn't think about it. She said she was hungry, so I led her to eat first.

After leaving the dormitory building, I found a small restaurant very close to the old store for dinner. During the meal, I asked her if she had enough things, and if it was not enough, I went out to buy after dinner.She said that she didn't have a washbasin, and she didn't bring washing powder or slippers.

After a simple meal, she took her to the mall to buy something. She said that she didn't need to buy anything, but went to the beach first.Tell her that after working here, I will have time to go to the beach, so I should buy things first, and then go back to the dormitory to have a good sleep, so that I can go to work tomorrow with energy.It may be because of the full meal, she was refreshed and had to go to the beach first.

The beach is not far away, and it takes only 10 minutes to walk there. After thinking about it, I will take her to the beach to see it, so that she will always miss it.

The sea in winter is nothing to look at, just the sea, a piece of water with a boat on it, and a passenger boat parked at the passenger terminal.

After looking at the pier for a while, she also felt that it was not interesting, so she went back.

He led her to the mall and bought what she needed.Fang Lin is very good at this point. There is no girl who is excited when going to the mall. She said that she doesn't like going to the mall because she thinks there are too many people in it.This is the first time I've seen a woman who doesn't like to go shopping, and she's pretty weird.

After coming out of the shopping mall, she called her home and told her mother that she had arrived in Binhai, and told her mother to rest assured.Then let her talk to her mother, she reluctantly took the phone and talked to her mother, then hung up.I thought to myself why children are like this now, and I don’t understand the mood of being a parent at all.When I got to the dormitory, I told her to go to bed after returning to the dormitory, and not to go out for a stroll at night. I will wait for her at the door of the dormitory tomorrow morning and lead her to the store.

She said she got it, and then looked at me saying that you are only in your 30s, how can you be more verbose than my mother.This pissed me off, I really wanted to slap her.

Back in the dormitory, first call Lin Yan and tell her that she has arrived at Binhai.She said on the phone that the snow on Fuzhong Road had just been cleared, but the road was not easy to walk, and there was ice on the road. Yesterday, a person drove in a car accident on the front street of my mother-in-law's house, killing one and injuring the other.I told her to stay at her mother-in-law's house for a few more days and come back by car after the snow had completely melted.She asked me if it snowed in Binhai?I said no.

I asked, "What is my son doing?"

"Just fell asleep, and fell asleep after playing." Lin Yan said.

"I still want to say a few words to him, I'm going to bed." It's a bit regretful.

"He played in the snow outside today. If you don't tell him to go outside, he will play like crazy. I can't control him." Lin Yan said angrily.

"Children love to play in the snow, so go out and dress him up so he doesn't catch a cold." I said.

"Your son can't catch a cold, he's in good shape, great."

"Then you have to pay attention, just in case."

"I know, you don't need to worry, I don't know anything, and it can make him catch a cold. Don't be like last time, you will come back after working for less than a month, and you have to get medical treatment when you come back. Be careful when you are there , Don’t be caught by the wind.” Lin Yan said.

"It won't happen this time, it's always the same." I said.

"I drank less alcohol and smoked less cigarettes there. A pack of cigarettes costs a few dollars, which is enough for me and my son to eat meat." She said.

"Okay, listen to you, quit smoking, drinking and women." I said.

"That's right, don't get close to smoking, drinking or women."

I said, "Maybe, I'm also a normal man, so I can't hold back all the time."

She said: "I can't help but go out and find a young lady to solve it. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be tough. I have no objection, as long as you don't let me know."

"When did it become so open?" I asked with a smile.

"It's not opening up. I don't know what you are doing there, and I can't control it. I can only ignore it. Just call me the money at the end of the month. I only recognize the money. If I have money, I can buy delicious food for my son." , buy and wear, my son and I can live on." She said.

"Don't worry, money is indispensable to you, just take care of your son at home." I said.

After talking on the phone with Lin Yan, I went to the water room to take a shower. I felt a little tired when I came back. Thinking that I should go to work tomorrow, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
