The story of a cook

Chapter 50 Liu Yaru

The small private room I live in is some distance from the private room of the hotel, next to the backyard, next to the small private room is the lounge of Boss Zou and Huang Ping, behind the lounge is the room where the boss lives, and behind it is the staff dormitory. Behind the dormitory is the Teachers College.

Every day after get off work, I return to the small private room. After washing, I have nothing to do and sit in the lobby, carving flowers and looking at the store.

The restaurants in the city are not like Santaizi, where customers leave at nine o'clock.At nine o'clock here, the guests are in high spirits, especially when they sing a song, and find two young ladies. I don't know when to play until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

There is a waiter on duty every day. If the guests leave early, the waiter will get off work early, which is considered a bargain. If the customer plays until twelve o’clock, the waiter has to stick to it until twelve o’clock, which is considered unlucky.

This is the case in the service industry, the customer is God.

After the customers left, I locked the door of the store and went back to the small private room to sleep.

The hotel is close to Beiling, and there is a night market at the door, which is very lively.After get off work, the waiters couldn't help but run out to the park night market. When they came back late, they knocked on the door outside and called me, and I came out of the private room to open the door for them.

After get off work in the evening, I was washing work clothes in the kitchen, and the waiter on duty came in with a pot of pimple soup and asked me, "Master Tan, can you make hot pimple soup? The customer asked for some heat."

"Okay, let it go."

After wiping his hands, he went to the stove and lit the fire to prepare hot pimple soup.

"Where are you doing the laundry?" she asked.

"Well." I replied.

"I'll wash it for you later." She said enthusiastically.

"No, I'll just wash it."

It's so embarrassing to let others wash it, but I'm very happy to hear her say this.

After the pimple soup was hot, she took it out and continued to wash the work clothes. After a while, she came in with two dishes.

"The guest saw that the pimple soup was hot, so he said to warm up these two dishes." She said with a little embarrassment.

So the stove was lit again.

She may feel a little embarrassed to ask me to reheat the dishes back and forth, so she went to help me wash the work clothes, and the work clothes were half washed, and she finished washing after I finished reheating the two dishes.

I said, "Thank you."

She smiled and went out with the food.

Check the kitchen, go to the gas room and shut off the big pot, turn off the kitchen light and go to the front desk and sit down.The waiter saw me, came over with a smile and sat down generously.

She is about 1.6 meters tall, with big eyes, high nose, and deep eye sockets. She looks like an XJ girl.She looks very delicate, looks like eighteen or nine years old, with a big braid.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Oh, you've been here these days, and you don't even know my name."

Her eyes were wide open, with an incredible expression on her face, she felt that I had been here for half a month, so I should know her name.Looking at her, her eyes were clear, and although the expression on her face was a bit exaggerated, it was by no means a fake one, but rather innocent, with a hint of youthfulness.

"I don't know." I said embarrassedly.

"My name is Liu Yaru, remember, Liu Yaru." She said seriously.

"Okay, remember."

"Did you carve the flowers that serve? They're so beautiful."

She looked at me enviously, and said to herself, how can such a rough person have such skillful hands?It will also be carved.It's fun to see his big bald head, real light, if only he could touch it.

"One day you teach me, I want to learn too."

"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time."

"Master Xing who came with you, I think you call him the boss, is it your master?"

"It's a master, but it's just called brother."

She said: "He cooks very well. The guests all said that our dishes are better than before. Some guests asked if there was a change of chef. I told them that there was a change. The chef came back."

After she finished speaking, she giggled, like the little girl next door, with a carefree look, especially those clear eyes, which made it impossible for people to have other thoughts. It is natural to feel that she is a very simple, Pure girl,
"How old are you?" I asked her.

"How old do you think I am?" She asked with a smile.

"It's eighteen or nine."

"Heck, I'm twenty, how old are you?" she asked me.

"23."

"what?"

Liu Yaru opened her mouth wide in surprise, the inconceivable expression on her face was even more inconceivable than not knowing her name.His eyes opened wider, looking back and forth at the very mature face in front of her, feeling impossible.

"Think I'm 25 or six." I said with a smile.

"Yes, if you don't tell me, I really think you are 25 or [-], and you look too old."

After knowing my exact age she returned to her normal expression, that gratified curiosity subsided.Then he said slowly: "You and Master Xing both look fierce, our waiters didn't dare to talk to you when we first came here."

"is it?"

"Really, sometimes we dare not go into the kitchen when the guests are in a hurry to urge the dishes. We are afraid that you will scold us, so we call Sister Wang. You are so fierce that you dare not speak to you. Who dares to urge the dishes?" she said. be honest.

I really don't know about this phenomenon. I don't care much about the appearance of my boss and I, and I can't care about it. I can't go back to my mother's womb to reforge.I didn't expect to give people such an impression, so bad, so serious.

Smiling with an old face, he asked, "What about now, do you dare?"

"Dare now, Sister Wang said that you are very talkative and nice." She went on to say, "Just like the hot dishes just now, the kitchen did not heat up after 09:30, we have to explain to the guests, there is I was always scolded by the guests, but when I got angry, how kind of you are you, and you can return the hot dishes.”

She giggled after she finished speaking, and then said: "Brother Tan, call me when you wash your clothes in the future, and I will wash them for you. I always wash clothes at home. My parents go to work in the mountains, so I will wash clothes at home. meal."

It seems that she is a good girl at home, very sensible, and does not let her parents worry about it.

"No, I can wash it myself." I said, and then asked her: "Where is your house? From your accent, our house is not far away, right in Fuxin?"

"Yes, I'm from Fuxin, did you hear it? Why can't I hear it?" She asked curiously.

"After a long time, you can tell that I am from Beipiao."

"You're from Beipiao? It's not far away. I've heard of Beipiao. It's just past Yi County, right?"

"Well, we are half fellow villagers."

"Yes, we are still fellow villagers."

Yaru came out for the first time, and her brother and sister-in-law brought her out.Her elder brother and sister-in-law work in a restaurant on the northbound line, and they are both at the front desk. His brother is a waiter and her sister-in-law is a waiter.

Her parents are quite young, in their fifties.The family conditions are very good, her parents don't want her to come out, it's boring for her to stay at home, and the little sisters in the village who are her age are all out to work, and she wants to come out too.After the new year, she began to pester her elder brother and sister-in-law, who was so pestered that she couldn't help but brought her out.

Her mother cried when she said it, and told her to listen to her brother, go home if she couldn't do it, don't mess around outside, and most importantly, don't associate with men or have sex.

After she finished speaking, she giggled and said, "I just met someone at [-]. I'm not like my classmates who are looking for marriage at [-] and [-]. I want to stay at home with my parents for two more years."

Listening to the girl in front of me talking about her own family affairs, and laughing like silver bells from time to time, it gradually attracted me.

The boss is very happy that Liu Xiaoyan is back.It seems that love really has no age limit, as long as two people touch each other, it will burn into a raging fire, scorching and passionate.

After Liu Xiao came back, the eldest brother and the second brother came to see him. He didn't say yes or no, and asked the eldest brother to take time to go home and have a look. The child missed him a little bit.What the words mean is that you can play outside and find little girls, but you have to think about it, and you have a girl in her teens, so you can't ignore it.The boss didn't say anything, but he knew better than anyone else.

One's own dream can be realized by oneself, and no one else can replace it.

After Liu Xiaoyan came back, she worked as a waiter at the front desk. With the relationship with the boss, her job was very easy, and Sister Wang didn't care much about her.

The eldest brother and the second brother come over for dinner every time. Every time he comes, he will call me over. Sometimes he will wait for me to finish his work, and then have a drink with me, chat about the restaurant and ask about the boss and Liu Xiaoyan. Case.He is not optimistic about the eldest brother and Liu Xiaoyan, and thinks it is impossible for them to be a couple. There is a 15-year age difference between them. Even if Liu Xiaoyan is willing, Liu Xiaoyan's parents can't agree.He thinks that the boss is playing, and Liu Xiaoyan is also playing, or that Liu Xiaoyan is not interested in the boss, but the boss's home.

When he came, he brought Sister Wang with him. Sister Wang seldom drank, sat quietly beside him, and seldom spoke.The boss said that his second brother's marriage was a political marriage, and his sister-in-law's father became a son-daughter relative with the boss's father in order to keep his official position.The eldest father is in charge of building materials, and his sister-in-law is economically minded. With the help of her father-in-law, she started a building materials company. The business is huge and profitable.

The eldest brother and his daughter-in-law didn't have much relationship, he wanted to marry Sister Wang, but the environment at that time didn't allow him to make his own decisions, so he could only follow the arrangement of his family and marry a woman he didn't love at all for the benefit of the two families.Sister Wang understands this. Who told me to love this man with all her heart? Even though this man is married, has a family, and has a child, she will never leave him and stay by her side.

From being unaccepted at the very beginning, calling her a broken shoe, engaging in relationships with men and women, destroying other people's families, to coming to the door to abuse her, even being beaten and having her hair pulled.She endured it all and never left this man.With the passage of time, twenty years have passed, and those who scolded her no longer scolded her, and acquiesced in desperation.People who used to look down on her changed their views and admired her in their hearts, thinking that this is the real woman, because she used her entire youth to explain what love is.

The city is investigating a group of young and middle-aged cadres, and the eldest brother and second brother are within the scope of the investigation, and there is great hope of being transferred to the district.But seeing that he has no idea about going to work in the district, he prefers to stay in the office and be his ruler.

It's not that he doesn't want to be transferred to the district, and he knows very well what this inspection means.This time, the city selected a group of young and middle-aged cadres to study at the party school. After returning, it is not as simple as being transferred to work in the district. There is a great opportunity to be transferred to the city for training. Well, if you come back, you may be a member of the municipal party committee. Even if you don't come back, you will be the mayor of the county or city below.

But these are not attractive to him, and he doesn't care. What this man cares about is the woman sitting beside him.This woman has paid too much for him. It can be said that she has given him the best years of a woman's life. He can't leave her alone.

According to his age, it is the best age for political life. He is young and vigorous. He has rich experience in grassroots work for 18 years. He was the best candidate for the deputy district chief. He didn't go and gave it to someone else in style.

He knew that if he went further up, he would be noticed. At that time, he would have to choose between his political life and this woman, and he chose the latter.

As a man, I admire his choice.

I now have a little follower——Yaru.

After get off work in the evening, I was sitting in the hall carving flowers, and she came over to learn from me, gave her the carving knife and radish, and told her how to hold the knife and how to carve.I learned it well at the beginning, but stopped after two days, saying it was too difficult to learn.

"I was not good at studying when I was in school. There were more than 30 students in our class, and I was ranked around [-]. My mother said I was stupid." She put down the carving knife, took a bite of the radish in her hand, and then seriously Asked me: "Actually, I have studied hard, but I can't learn it. Do you think I am really stupid?"

"You're not stupid, you just don't like learning." I said.

"I also love to learn, and I'm honest. I don't dare to talk to boys. I just go to and from school all day long. Every day after school, I throw down my schoolbag and play. I don't want to do my homework until I'm about to go to bed at night. Hehe, just write and write." I was sleepy and couldn’t finish writing, so I went to school the next day and hurriedly copied at the same table as me.”

"You are also a naughty girl." I said.

"Yeah, I'm good at shopping at home. I can still climb trees. My brother doesn't even dare to climb trees." She smiled complacently, and then said, "My mother always scolds me for climbing trees. I repaired all the trees, and my mother was afraid that I would fall from the tree, so she always sewed my pants, hee hee, climbing trees cost me pants.”

She laughed, probably remembering the scene when she climbed a tree and scratched her pants when she was a child, and her mother sewed them for her.

When we are with her, it is easy to be infected by her innocence and innate simplicity, and feel like I have returned to my childhood.

"Your dad didn't talk about you?" I asked.

"My dad doesn't talk about me. My dad says I'm his old girl. He never talks about me, never scolds me, but my mother always talks about me." She wrinkled her nose, snorted and said: "Hmph! My mother likes my brother, and it's annoying to say hello to my brother."

As if her mother always wronged her at home, she couldn't help laughing when she was defeated by her innocence, and said to her: "It's all about the girl and father, the boy and mother, and your family is the same."

"Almost, my mother doesn't like me, hehe, she likes me too. When I came out, my father didn't cry and my mother did." She stopped at this point, a little sad, but she recovered soon, and continued: "I have nothing to do at home. My parents don't let me go to work in the mountains. There is only a little land in my house. The two of them can get busy. I cook and wash clothes at home, and I have to feed the pigs."

When it came to feeding pigs, she frowned, and became unhappy again, and said: "I don't like feeding pigs the most. My pig may bark, always barking, and as soon as it arrives at the door of the pigsty, it barks inside, as if almost It looked like it hadn’t eaten for a year, but it was irritating, and when I got impatient, I went in with a shovel and patted it, hum! It’s still the same after the filming, it’s irritating.”

Totally amused by her.

"You're really good at competing with pigs, didn't they chase you?"

"If you don't shoot me, if you shoot me, I will still shoot it."

It seems that her pigs are often bullied by her.

While I was talking, I finished carving a flower, she held it in her hand and looked left and right, her eyes began to shine.

"It's so beautiful, your hands are so skillful, you can catch up with women's hands."

"It's not dexterity, it's because I've been engraving for a long time." I said to her with a smile.

"That's also a coincidence. Practice makes perfect. My dad is skillful, so he can do whatever he wants." Speaking of her dad, she cheered up and said to me: "My dad is a bricklayer. He builds houses for others in our place. They are all too busy, and after building this house, they will all look for him.”

"Then your dad makes a lot of money." I said.

"Yes, my dad makes a lot of money. If you talk about Liu Wajiang in my house, you can talk about my dad. My dad doesn't want me to come out. He just wants me to stay at home and find me in two years. My husband’s family is getting married. I’ll tell my dad to come out and see, if I don’t come out now, I won’t be able to come out when I get married. When my dad heard the same thing, he let me come out.”

"How nice your father is, he still spoils you."

"Well, my dad is nice to me, better than my brother." After finishing speaking, he asked me, "Brother Tan, is your dad nice to you?"

"Girl, brother Tan is not as lucky as you. My father died when I was young." I said.

She blinked her eyes, seemed a little overwhelmed, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't know your dad was gone, so I asked—"

"It's okay, you don't know, your dad is very envious to hear you talking about it."

"I won't talk about it in the future, so as not to make you sad."

She was like a child who did something wrong, she whispered there, and she didn't dare to look up at me.
