The story of a cook

Chapter 508 Scary Zhou Jing

When I finished saying that I am the head chef, if I am not the head chef, I can’t help you, I thought of myself.

If Master Chen hadn't helped me back then, I probably wouldn't have embarked on the path of being a chef; if Master hadn't accepted me as an apprentice, I wouldn't be where I am today.Going forward, if there is no Bu Zhiyi, the first noble person in his working life may not even be able to enter the door of the restaurant.

In our lives, there are too many noble people who have cared and helped us, so we must learn to be grateful.

People have to repay fourfold kindness.

We are grateful to our parents, they gave us life, brought us into the world, and brought us up. This kindness can never be repaid in a lifetime, so people must be filial.

I am grateful to our teachers when we were in school. It is they who let us know that one plus one equals two. It is they who let us know how to write the word "人" and how to do it.A teacher's kindness is hard to repay, the way of being a man, a piece of peach and plum, never forget the original heart.

I am grateful to the person who brought us into the society. He may not be our master, but he taught us the craft, so that we have a skill and the capital to support our family.This kindness is hard to repay, respect it with virtue.

The last thing I want to talk about is Emperor Tianhoutu.I remember that at home, every New Year’s Eve, my mother would burn a tart of yellow paper, kneel down and kowtow, thank God for letting us eat and drink, and not starve to death, and then kowtow three times to God.When I was young and ignorant, I didn’t know why my mother kowtowed to God. When I grew up, I became more and more sensible, and took over my mother’s kowtow to God. The moment I knelt down, I understood why my mother kowtowed. Great grace.

Nowadays, many young people don't like to hear about gratitude, saying it is chicken soup for the soul.What's wrong with chicken soup?

The person who made the chicken soup was wrong. In the past, the chicken soup was made by old hens, simmered over a slow fire, and the time was sufficient, the taste was thick, and it was beneficial.Now chicken soup is boiled from farmed chickens, and the taste is not enough. Add some hormone additives and flavor enhancers, the taste is strong, the nutrition is gone, and it is useless to nourish.

Also, it's the heart that's wrong.

My heart is dark, no chicken soup will work.

"Chef, I'd like to offer you a toast." Zhou Jing said holding up her glass.

"This cup can't be done, just take a sip." I said.

"I didn't tell you to do it, just take a sip." She said.

I took a sip and she drained the beer.

"To tell you the truth, Chef, thank you very much. When you saw that I had no money to give me money, I didn't know what to say—" she said.

"Then don't say anything, don't mention the past." I said.

"Zhou Jing told me when she got back. She just came here and didn't know anyone. I like to say that we are still in the opposite bed. She told me anything, and she told me that you told her to stay. , I gave her back the money, and I thought you were a nice person at that time, and you were loyal." The eldest sister said.

I said: "Don't talk about this, let's go to the bar. We're just drinking today. We haven't eaten much food yet. Eat quickly and don't waste it."

"Okay, don't talk about it, Xiao Jing, don't talk about it, you know what kind of chef Tan is now, so it's boring to talk about it." The eldest sister said bluntly.

"Well, I know, I won't say anything." Zhou Jing said, and then said: "Chef, I really appreciate you. I, Zhou Jing, have nothing to say. I'm from HLJ. I'm affordable. No matter what, as long as I Zhou Jing can do it, I will do it, and I will do it if I have a word."

I said, "It's serious, let's all be good."

"I mean it," she said.

"Okay, tell the truth." I said, "I'm sure I will find you for anything in the future. In case I go to HLJ someday, you have to entertain me."

"That's for sure, hospitality," she said.

The atmosphere of drinking is very harmonious, but it is true that the eldest sister cannot drink.She had already drank half of the second bottle of white wine, and she was still talking normally, without any variety.I'm eighty-two too, and I feel like I'm drinking.Zhou Jing has three bottles of beer, and she is only three bottles of beer, if she drinks more, she may get drunk.

I said, "Sister, Zhou Jing, that's all for us today, and it's about the same. If you want to drink, you can drink it another day."

The elder sister looked at Zhou Jing and said, "Today, Zhou Jing is the one who invites you. I am the companion. She has the final say."

Zhou Jing asked: "Chef, have you finished your drink?"

"Drink it, it's been a long time since I drank like this, it's fine." I said.

Zhou Jing looked at the wine on the table and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to drink it well, the Dionysus of our group."

"Stop it quickly, I'm not a god of wine, but my eldest sister is." I said.

"I don't call it drinking." The elder sister said with a smile, "It's spicy after drinking. People who know how to drink can taste the taste of wine, but I can't drink any taste."

"You are born massive." I said.

The eldest sister smiled and said to me: "Well, I'll pour the remaining half bottle of wine first, the rest is yours, and there is a bottle of beer, Xiao Jing drank that, let's end today, you see Not Chef Tan?"

I said: "Okay, that's it, listen to the eldest sister."

After drinking, Zhou Jing was very dissatisfied that I paid the money in advance. She intended to treat me to dinner, but she didn't expect that I bought the bill in advance, and felt very embarrassed.After I came out, I told her that it doesn't matter whoever pays the bill. If I feel embarrassed to pay the bill, I can invite me next time.

"If you don't, I'll invite you to sing." She suggested.

"If you don't spend the money in your pocket today, you won't be reconciled, will you?" I said.

"I'm so sorry. I agreed to invite you, but you paid the bill. It's shameful." She said.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm not a man. How dare I ask a woman to pay the bill when I go out to drink. Besides, I'm the head chef. You pay the bill as if I were bribed. I'm not used to it." I said.

Then she said to her and the eldest sister: "You two sisters are walking slowly, I will go back to the dormitory first."

I started to walk to the dormitory, and it took only 5 minutes to walk out. Zhou Jing called me from behind. Turning around, she trotted to the front, holding two packs of cigarettes that I always smoke, and said embarrassedly: "I want to give You bought one, and there are only two boxes left in his house, and I will buy it for you tomorrow."

I smiled, and said to her, "If you buy one, I really can't take it, okay, I'll take these two boxes, and treat it as if you invited me to dinner."

"That's okay." She said blushing.

Instead of arguing with her about this matter, I didn't see the eldest sister following up, and asked her: "Where is the eldest sister?"

"Take a taxi and go to his husband's. Her husband's place of work is not far from here." She said.

"Oh." I nodded and said to her, "Then let's go, we will go back together."

"You go first. It's not good for the two of us to go back together and be seen by others. I'm fine and it will affect you." She said.

I laughed and said, "Where did the influence come from? You think a lot."

"Then let's not go this way, it's easy to bump into people, go from the back." She pointed to the street behind and said.

Looking at her, I felt that she was very cautious, so I thought to myself, let's go, it has nothing to do with her anyway.

The street at the back is relatively quiet, not as lively as the street in front, full of restaurants.Opening a restaurant is sometimes very evil, and there are two different things across a street. If a restaurant is opened on that street, it will be popular, and this street will not open.

Walking on a quiet street, it was already eleven o'clock, and there was no one there. Occasionally, a trolley drove by, and the headlights illuminated the road very brightly.

It's been a long time since I walked alone on the street with a woman like this. The last time I walked with Ma Shuli on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.The mood is a bit strange, I really enjoy this kind of quietness.

"Chef, when you came out of the restaurant just now, you told me to go with the eldest sister, are you afraid that others will say something when they see me with you?" Zhou Jing asked.

I said: "You think too much, there are so many things."

"Are you looking down on me?" she asked suddenly.

I was taken aback by this question, looked at her and said, "Where are you thinking, why do you look down on you?"

"I feel that you just look down on me. You clearly agreed that it was my treat. You bought the bill in advance because you didn't want to eat my meal. When you came out, you left first, for fear that others would watch you walk with me. To you It's not good," she said.

Looking at her, I felt a little incomprehensible.I thought she was very smart, how could she have these thoughts?It shouldn't be.

Said to her: "I didn't think that much."

"You really don't look down on me?" she asked standing there.

"No." I said.

"Really?"

"real."

"You looked into my eyes and said."

I was startled by her sudden request.Look at her carefully, she looks a little drunk.

I said, "I didn't look down on you, you're overthinking." Then I said, "Let's go, we'll be in the dormitory soon."

"Don't go." She said, "Why don't you look me in the eyes and say?"

She is quite stubborn.

I said: "The two of us are not talking about love, just look at your eyes and say something, stop making trouble, you drink too much, go back to the dormitory quickly."

"I didn't drink too much, it's okay to have two more bottles now." She said, "Did you miss your wife just now?"

Her mind is jumping too fast, and I can't keep up with it, but I can feel that if she continues to make trouble like this, something bad will happen.Although she is not a beauty, she is definitely petite and cute, and she is also lethal to a man.

"Let's go, we'll be in the dormitory in 5 minutes, go back and go to bed quickly, you'll be fine after a night of sleep, don't drink if you can't drink those in the future." I said.

She still didn't move, she stood there looking at me, and slowly there were tears in her eyes.

Tears are a woman's most powerful weapon.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, I was a little angry at first, but my heart softened all of a sudden.

"What's the matter? I didn't mess with you." I said.

"You look down on me, I'm leaving tomorrow, I won't work here anymore." She said while she was crying.

It made me laugh out loud when I heard her say that.

"No way, I told you I didn't look down on you, it's all your own imagination." I said.

"Then why don't you dare look into my eyes and say." She asked, a little childish.

"Your eyes are too small to see."

"My eyes are not small." She wiped her tears, "You just look down on me, seeing that I think I'm not a good woman, let me tell you, our HLJ women are like this, straight-tempered."

"Okay, I get it, I'm straight, even if I'm straight, I have to go back to sleep, let's see what time it is." I said.

"What time is it? It's a big deal not to go back to the dormitory." She said.

"Sleeping on the street?" I said, "Hurry up, don't shed tears, wipe off, and go back to the dormitory. If others look at this and think I'm bullying you, if you do, I'll leave."

She wiped away her tears and stopped crying. It should be because of crying. She seemed to be awake and said to me: "If you ask me to pay the bill today, nothing will happen. You pay the bill, and it feels like you look down on me—no one ever Treat me so well, never—”

At this time, I was a little confused, and I couldn't turn my head.

"You dare not look into my eyes and say that you have your daughter-in-law in your heart, and you dare not look at other women. If you have a daughter-in-law, you still treat me well—"

what logic?

I got angry, turned around and left.

After walking 20 meters, she shouted behind her: "Chef, you left me here alone, I'm afraid—"

Ignore her and move on.

Crying was heard.

My heart was still softened, and I turned around to see her squatting on the ground crying, curled up, her head buried deeply, very sad and helpless.

Tell yourself that she drank too much, she was homesick, or she just missed the child, and remembered sad things, and she couldn't ignore it. After all, if something happened to the wine they drank together, she was also responsible for it, so she should go back to the dormitory. She can leave tomorrow even if she quits.

Come to her.

She looked up at me and said with tears all over her face: "I'm obedient, go back to the dormitory." Then she asked: "You won't fire me, will you?"

"No." I said, "Don't drink in the future."
