The story of a cook

Chapter 469 Receiving Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi
December 24, Christmas Eve in [-].

Maybe it's my own tradition, and I don't like foreign festivals like Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Christmas Eve and Christmas have no effect on traditional Chinese restaurants, especially in an open tourist city like Binhai. Chinese restaurants in such festivals are not the main consumers. The main consumers are karaoke bars, bars, western food restaurants and hotels.

On the 23rd, I received a call from Zheng Jiaqi, who said that she would come to Binhai with Sister Jiang the next day, and spend Christmas Eve and Christmas in Binhai.I welcome the arrival of the two of them. I haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and I miss them very much.

It was the same process as Sister Zhao and Li Yanhua when they came, and booked a hotel for them in front of the old shop to welcome them.

The two of them arrived at Binhai at noon on the 24th. They first invited them to have a simple bite in the store, and then sent them to the hotel.

"There's nothing to do in winter now, or I'll take the two of you out to play." I said.

"No, the two of us just give ourselves two days off to relax and take a look at you. It's been a long time since I saw you." Sister Jiang said.

"Is the store busy?" I asked.

"It's okay, no matter how busy you are, money is not earned in a flash." Sister Jiang said.

"That's right, it should be a combination of work and rest." I said.

"How is the boss doing here?" Zheng Jiaqi asked.

"It's okay, very good." I said, and then asked: "Is Ye Yurong's child studying in Fuxin now?"

Sister Jiang said: "Yeah, I go to school in primary school, and my studies are quite good."

"Then is she with that man now?" I asked.

"The two have been together for a long time." Sister Jiang said.

"That's good." I said.

It was really good to hear the news, and I was relieved a lot.

"Boss, are you still a chef here?" Zheng Jiaqi asked.

I said: "Yes, I'm still a chef." Then I said: "It's good to be a chef, and I have time to study dishes."

"You should be the head chef." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"If you don't want to be that stuff, you'd better be a chef if you worry about it." I said.

"It's okay to be a cook if the money is in place, so you don't have to worry about it." Sister Jiang said.

The two of them came to Binhai not to play, but mainly to see how the catering market in Binhai is. If it is possible, they plan to open a tavern in Binhai.I have to say that the two of them are now successful people. Although they don't make much money, it's good to have the awareness of developing the market.I told them that although the catering market in Binhai is very good, it is not recommended for them to open a tavern here, because the people in Binhai are not interested in the smell of smoke. I have been here for nearly a year and I know it very well. People in Binhai like it. It is light and fresh, and I don’t like big meat being greasy, but 90.00% of the smoked flavor is meat. Even if it is well cooked, Binhai people don’t like it. This is a matter of habit.

The three stores of the group now do not serve smoked pickles. I asked Lao Guo and Master Du about this. They said that they sold it when they first opened, but they couldn't sell it. Customers didn't approve it, so they canceled it later.I also discussed smoked pickles with local chefs. They said that smoked pickles are really delicious, but locals don’t like them.

"That's not as good as the provincial capital." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"It's okay to open a tavern in the provincial capital, but not in Binhai. The eating habits are different. People in this place don't recognize it." I said.

Sister Jiang said, "I think so too." Then she said, "Jiaqi and I hit each other, and we didn't have much hope when we came here. Even after almost a year, we didn't talk about it. Here, just come and play, and take a look at you by the way."

I said, "Playing here for two days is considered a vacation for myself."

"I can't play for two days. There is a lot of trouble at home. We will go back tomorrow afternoon." Sister Jiang said.

"It's so urgent, it's all out, so let's play for two more days." I said.

"The two of us didn't rush out to play. If you want to play in the summer of the new year, what are you going to do in the winter?" Sister Jiang said: "The main reason is to see if it is okay to open a tavern here by the sea. Listen to you. I don’t think so. Fuxin, you know, doesn’t recognize Christmas Eve and Christmas. The two of us didn’t come out because we haven’t been very busy these two days. To put it bluntly, it’s mainly to see you. My sister misses you very much. Your old brother and sister recognize it."

Hearing what Sister Jiang said, I felt very warm in my heart.

Sister Jiang continued: "You should go to work in the afternoon. Jiaqi and I went out for a walk, we've come here, so we have to take a walk, right?"

I said, "That's right. If not, I'll take an afternoon off and go for a walk with you two."

"No, you go to your shift, don't delay things, we just hang out casually, have dinner together in the evening, and have a good drink." Sister Jiang said.

"That's fine. Today's Christmas Eve. I'm afraid I'll be busy at night." I said.

"You are busy with your work, let's get together at night." Sister Jiang said.

It's not very busy at night, but it's a bit busier than usual, and the battles are all over by 08:30.

I reserved a private room on the second floor.

Since they have come to Binhai, I work in Binhai and belong to the host of Banlaer, so I have to be good.

I asked Master Li if he had any arrangements for the evening, and he said no, as long as there is no, let him be with you.I wanted to call Bao Peng and the others, but they had arrangements for the evening, so I didn't call.

Ma Shuli was fine at night, so I called her up too.

Originally, I wanted to call him Old Chen, but thinking about his appearance, I might as well forget it.

Sitting at the table are me, Sister Jiang, Zheng Jiaqi, Master Li and Ma Shuli.Ma Shuli heard that it was two women who were having dinner together, and she deliberately went back to dress up after get off work to look more charming.

After introducing each other, we started eating.

I asked Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi: "Where did you two go this afternoon?"

Sister Jiang glanced at Zheng Jiaqi and said, "Where are you going? Jiaqi is so lazy, she didn't go anywhere, she just slept in her room."

I looked at Zheng Jiaqi, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm just tired and don't want to go anywhere."

"You're too lazy." I said.

"There are not many places to play in Binhai now. It's okay to come in summer. There are many places to play, such as Xinghai Square, Tiger Beach, Sea World, and you can take a bath in seawater." Master Li said.

"Come again in the summer of the new year, and have fun then." Sister Jiang said.

I said: "Don't worry about talking, come, let's have a drink together."

Everyone had a drink together.

I have always felt that wine is the best lubricant for communication. Drinking a glass of wine brings us closer.

Sometimes in the wine game, if the host chats well and makes the atmosphere harmonious, the people participating in the wine game will feel very relaxed, without any pressure and strangeness, and will quickly integrate into the atmosphere and be very happy.

I am that kind of person.

But the person who can invigorate the atmosphere is by no means a person who has both ways.

I have a feeling that when enlivening the atmosphere, I forget that I exist, and I hardly think about myself.

The atmosphere at the wine table was very lively, and everyone was very happy.

When the second glass of wine was down, the door of the private room opened, and Manager Chen walked in.

When I saw Manager Chen, I immediately stood up and introduced Manager Chen to Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi.

"Sister Jiang, Jiaqi, this is Manager Chen of our store, your name is Sister Chen." I said.

"Sister Chen."

"Sister Chen."

Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi greeted with a smile.

Manager Chen also nodded with a smile.

After introducing each other, Manager Chen said: "It's Lao Tan's friend and my friend. As the host, I would like to respect you both."

"You're welcome, Miss Chen." Sister Jiang said.

"You're welcome, you are guests from afar, and you are still Lao Tan's friends, the respect is already due."

Manager Chen and Sister Jiang had a drink with Zheng Jiaqi.

After finishing the drink, Manager Chen whispered to me: "Old Tan, I'll leave after I have another drink. Old Chen is waiting for me."

I said, "Thank you, Sister Chen, for saving face."

"Be polite to me." Manager Chen said.

Then he filled up the wine, raised his glass again and said, "Today is a good day, Christmas Eve. I wish my friends from afar safe and happy, and wish everyone here happy and safe! Let's have a toast together and have a good Christmas Eve."

Everyone stood up and toasted together, said congratulations to each other, bumped glasses and finished the work together. After finishing the work, Manager Chen said goodbye to everyone and left.

"Boss, your manager is pretty good at talking." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"Otherwise, he is the manager." I said.

"It seems to be older, older than Zhang Li." She said.

"Well, she is older than Zhang Li, and her children are about to graduate from college." I said.

Sister Jiang said: "My brother will be given face wherever he works, and the manager has come to toast."

I smiled and said, "Sister, you are just praising me."

"My brother is good. He is strong in our store and speaks better than the head chef." Master Li said.

He drank a lot of wine today, and his face was flushed.

"You don't know, he is good at talking in other places, and he is not a chef." Sister Jiang said.

"Actually, brother should be the head chef." Master Li said.

"Is it comfortable to be a chef now?" I asked with a smile.

"Actually, brother, you can be the head chef, but it's not right." He said.

I said, "It's not inappropriate, I want to study cooking now."

Master Li still wanted to go on, so he interrupted him and chatted about something else.

After chatting for a while, I saw that the wine was almost gone, so I proposed to drink a glass of wine to end the battle.

After leaving the hotel, I sent Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi back to the hotel. On the way, Sister Jiang pulled me aside and whispered that I would give you a chance to spend a good night with Jiaqi.I said sister, what are you talking about, I have nothing to do with her.Sister Jiang smiled and said it's okay, you two ran to the same room in the middle of the night, don't think that sister doesn't know.I said sister, you misunderstood, it was Jiaqi who ran to my house that day because she was sleepy and confused.Sister Jiang said that Jiaqi liked you very much, and she didn't want to destroy your family. You two get along so well, and you even slept together.I smiled and said no, I have never slept, nothing happened.

Sister Jiang recognized that Zheng Jiaqi and I had slept together, smiled and told both of us that she was going to buy some fruit, and told us to go upstairs first, and she would be back in a while.I know she is creating opportunities for me and Zheng Jiaqi, but we have nothing to do.

After Sister Jiang left, Zheng Jiaqi asked me what Sister Jiang had said to me, and I said nothing.She smiled and said that I know what Sister Jiang said, about us being together, right?I said yes, the main thing is that there is nothing wrong with us, she has misunderstood.

"A beautiful misunderstanding." Zheng Jiaqi said.

I froze for a moment and looked at her.

"Boss, what are you looking at me for?" she asked.

He immediately looked back and told himself that he slipped away.

After sending her to the room, she prepared to go back to the dormitory. She said that she should wait for Sister Jiang to come back before leaving. She and Sister Jiang were going back to Fuxin tomorrow morning. They did not say goodbye to me at the hotel, and told me to wait for Sister Jiang to say goodbye before leaving.

I said, "Don't be in a hurry, play for a day before leaving."

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm also in the heart shop." She said.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at me and saw some enthusiasm in her eyes.

To be honest, my whole body is hot under the influence of alcohol, and I have not had a married life for a long time, and I will have wild dreams when I am alone with a beautiful woman.Looking at her flowery smile, there is an impulse in my heart, an impulse like a beast.

But just impulsively.
