The story of a cook

Chapter 45
On the second day after returning from the Rose Hotel, Xiao Liu asked me what I did with my boss yesterday, and why I came back so late, and reported to her truthfully what I went to the Rose Hotel yesterday.

"Did you see his brother?" she asked.

"See you." I said.

"Did his brother ask us about our son?" She looked at me expectantly.

"No."

Disappointment appeared on her face, and it could be seen that she hoped that the matter with the boss would be known by the eldest and second brother, because the eldest and second brother is the director of the office, which is equivalent to the existence of a three-level government, and the boss told her about his family Such family conditions are undoubtedly a temptation for a girl who came out of the countryside to work, not to mention she is a very scheming and beautiful girl.

"I heard that you have been to his house?" She asked casually.

"I've been there."

She immediately asked, "What's his house like?"

"I went there at night. I didn't look carefully. It's quite big. In the third room, his father is lying on the bed, unable to move."

"Oh."

She nodded thoughtfully.

Liu Xiaoyan's family is in Changtu, Tieling. There is a younger brother in the family, and his parents are honest farmers.When I was studying, I envied those people in the village who went out to work, especially after graduation, the little sisters around me went out to work one by one, some of them did well outside, and came back dressed in jewels, and went to her house to tell her how good it was outside, He also showed her what kind of man he found, how the man's family was, how he spent money for himself, etc. All these stimulated her to be better than these classmates, so she decided to come out to work and find someone better than them based on her own conditions. man.

She took a fancy to the boss who was 15 years older than herself.What first attracted her was not the eldest brother's family conditions, but the masculine appearance in him that fascinated women. She felt that the eldest brother was no worse than the men brought home by the younger sisters, and even surpassed them.Because some of the men brought back by the little sisters are older than the eldest.

She and Ge Xiaoxia are on good terms, Ge Xiaoxia and her old girlfriend go out for a walk every day after get off work, they are sweet and sweet, it is impossible to always talk sweet and boring love words, sometimes they also talk about other things.From the mouth of the fourth child, Ge Xiaoxia knew the basic situation of the boss, and then Liu Xiaoyan also knew from Ge Xiaoxia.

Such a man can't be let go, isn't this the man I want to find?The family conditions are good, rich, urban household registration, his brother is still an official, although he has a daughter who is eight years younger than himself, it doesn't matter, isn't there an old lady watching, and he doesn't have to worry about it, as long as he and His family's approval, that's it.

When she found out that the boss didn't tell his second brother about her dating with the boss, she felt very angry, feeling that she was ignored by the boss, or played a trick, and didn't take herself seriously at all.

She is not reconciled to this, she wants to catch the boss firmly and make herself a city resident.

I don't want to be a city guy.It has been the third year since I came out to work, and I am more or less familiar with the provincial capital, and I am gradually adapting to the life in the city.I feel that there is nothing in the city that attracts me other than making money.They are all the same people, living the same life.In rural areas, there are people like me who come out to work because their families are poor, and there are also people in cities who come out to work because they have been laid off and have no financial resources. It's the same.

If you want to say that the city is good, it’s nothing more than eating and saving trouble. If you don’t want to cook at home, you can go to a restaurant to eat, but the premise is that you have to spend money, and you can’t do without money.If you have no money in the countryside, you can still eat.

Also, it is convenient to buy things in the city, even if you don’t have money, as long as you have money, you can buy everything.The countryside is not good, some things are not available, and there is nowhere to spend money.

All of this is based on economics, and thinking about it creates a sense of urgency to make money.

I want my mother to live a good life, and I want to talk about my daughter-in-law, all of which are inseparable from money.Now the salary of 600 yuan per month seems to be quite a lot, but compared to the countryside, it is nothing in the city.

If you want to earn more money, you have to learn how to be a chef. At present, this is the only way out.

It has been two years since I started to be a chef, and I deeply feel that learning to be a chef is not a matter of rushing for success, it is a long process of cultivation, not only the skill, but also the character.

Life is not a practice.

Sister Zhao has been selling clothes to her classmate Li Na for two weeks. From the beginning, she didn't know anything and dared not open her mouth to sell clothes, and now it's natural to shout openly.She feels that she is a material for selling clothes. She can know how to sell those clothes in her own hands, and knows how to communicate by looking at the expressions of customers. Take a look, inquire about the price.

Wuai Market is the largest clothing wholesale and retail distribution center in Northeast China. The three northeastern provinces, including Inner Mongolia, all come here to wholesale clothing. Not only that, but even Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia also come to wholesale clothing, which shows how influential it is.

This Monday, after the release in the morning, there were few zero purchases in the morning. Before twelve o'clock, Li Na said that it was just like this today, and it would be withdrawn.

Sister Zhao was not in a hurry to go home, she wanted to have a look at her younger brother, since it hadn't been a month, she was very worried.Whenever I think of this little brother, there is a strange emotion in my heart, and his appearance will appear in front of my eyes.The maturity that does not match her age, the bald head, the domineering gangster smile, and the sad experience, all grabbed her heart and made her unable to let go.

I miss this little brother not because he fought for me, but because he deeply attracted me, and I couldn't help but want to care and take care of him.Sometimes I asked myself if I fell in love with this younger brother who was ten years younger than me. Get along well with siblings.Every time I think of this, I can't help laughing, thinking that I am overwhelmed with love, and want to be a big sister, crazy?

Divorced for six years, I don't have any friends of the opposite sex, and the only one I live with is a gambler, so I have guards and shadows in my heart.The good sister advised her to go out more, go to the ballroom to dance, and don't let herself live too aggrieved.She didn't want to be like that, knowing that going to the ballroom could become the queen in it based on her looks, and there were many men who showed courteousness and even spent money for herself.I know what those men are thinking, they are nothing more than virgins as lovers, and to put it bluntly, they are just sleeping.

It's not shameful for a woman to get divorced, but it would be shameful if she did that, she thought.

I went to the place where the socks are wholesaled and bought a dozen socks, and then went to the place where the underwear is wholesaled to buy a dozen underwear, and put these two into the handbag, thinking that these are enough for my little brother to wear for a while, and I will wait two months before giving them to me. He bought it, and then went to Santaizi by car.

Sister Zhao's arrival eclipsed the waiter, fashionable dress, mature temperament, and compelling beauty, these are incomparable to little girls.Comparable to her is Zhou Lan, who has an untapped wild beauty.

"Sister, you are so beautiful today, you put on makeup and your lips are so red." I sat in front of her and told the truth.

"Really? Pretty?"

She touched her lower lip.

"Pretty, I can't even recognize the pretty ones."

"Fuck you." She glared at me, "I know you're not used to seeing it, and you dare not recognize it."

"It's really pretty," I added.

"Sister sells clothes now. I sell these clothes now. I wear them when I go to work. Those who buy clothes look good and buy them directly."

"This method really works, the main thing is that you are good-looking, and any clothes look good on you. If I can't do it, not only can't sell it, but I will have to be beaten."

She smiled coquettishly.

"Today is Monday, I'm not busy." She introduced me to the situation of selling clothes: "Saturdays and Sundays are busy, and there are many clothes bought, most of them are wholesale, and there are few retail ones. I go to work at six in the morning and two in the afternoon. It's time to get off work."

"Are you up so early?" I asked.

"Wake up, how old are you and still can't get up?" She went on to say: "When you get to the place, you start to be busy. Most of them come from other places to wholesale in the morning. After ten o'clock, there are fewer wholesales, and there are retail purchases. .” Then asked me mysteriously: “Brother, do you know the difference between wholesale and retail?”

"I don't know, how much is the difference?"

"It's much worse. If the wholesale price of a piece of clothing is [-] to [-], the retail price will be at least [-] to [-]. Don't you think it's amazing."

"That much difference?" I was a little surprised and couldn't believe it.

"That's not right, otherwise, how about selling clothes to make money."

"Exorbitant profits, pure profiteering, it looks like I'm going to change careers."

"In the beginning, I was a little afraid to sell it. I couldn't bear it. My classmate said it's okay, you can sell it. If someone buys it, if it can't be sold, the price will be raised."

Sister Zhao described to me the scene of her selling clothes.

"I was timid at the beginning, thinking that the wholesale price is so low, can people buy it when the retail price is several times higher? Hehe, let alone someone actually buys it. Five, no one thinks it's too expensive."

"Once I tried to increase the price. You said it was weird. It couldn't be sold when it was cheap, but it still sold when the price went up. I sold several pieces. Are you a cheap person?"

"You are pure profiteers," I said.

She smiled and said, "I think so too."

The boss came to the front desk and saw me and Sister Zhao coming over to chat for a few words.It was time to get off work, and I said, "Boss, let's go out and have a drink, just as Sister Zhao is here."

The boss said: "Let's go, I haven't had a drink for several days, today is just right, and there are beautiful women."

The three of us stood up and wanted to go out. Liu Xiaoyan, who was standing at the bar, stopped the boss and said very unhappy, "What are you going to do? Why, you still want to drink?"

"No, I won't go, the third child and her sister will go, I won't go."

The boss looked obedient, and walked towards the bar while talking.

I smiled and said to Sister Zhao: "Let's go, he can't go."

In June, the provincial capital has completely entered summer. The willow branches on both sides of the road are hanging down, stretching their leaves to their heart's content, and the ice cream shops are popping up, and the sales are starting to sell well.The barbershop next to it hung speakers outside, and the singing sounded lazily.

Dayuan, the owner of the small restaurant who went to see Liu Luoguo, greeted me warmly, went in and ordered two dishes, and sat down with Ms. Zhao to chat while eating.

"Who was that talking to your boss just now?" Sister Zhao asked.

"His object." I replied.

"What? His partner?" She was surprised.

I briefly told her about the boss and Liu Xiaoyan, she was surprised and at the same time disliked these two people, and told her not to worry about that, maybe they are true love, I didn't believe it when I said this.

"I don't worry about it. I'm not familiar with them, so I worry about you. Look at him, whether it's true or not, he can find a partner at such an old age. Look at you, it's really—"

She had an expression of hating iron but not steel.

"I'm stupid." I said.

"You are so stupid, you can't even find a partner."

"Don't talk about me, don't you have a date? If you want to look for it, you should look for it first, and then me." I said.

"Compare me to you." She glared at me, then smiled: "Hehe, I've been married before, you haven't even touched a woman, yet you dare to compare with me."

If she said that these things are indeed incomparable, and that there is nothing incomparable, she would be blatantly contemptuous.

He told her about the blind date at home, and she laughed when she heard it.

"Look at your fate. You haven't seen what the girl looks like when you go back to the blind date. You are finished. At least see her once."

"Fate didn't come." I said: "I won't go home to go on blind dates in the future, just work honestly and don't think about anything."

"I think so too. Who still has a blind date now?"

"Aren't my mother and my sister in a hurry, hoping that I will get married soon?"

"That's right, don't talk about them, I'm worried for you."

"I've won, don't worry about me, I'll settle this matter myself."

Then we talked about selling clothes. When she talked about clothes, she became energetic and began to talk endlessly. I listened with great interest. I felt that she had a natural understanding of clothes and was a person in the clothes business.
