The story of a cook

Chapter 68 Farewell
After the fighting incident, the days returned to calm, and I still repeated the same work every day as usual, enjoying it.

To be honest, I really like the profession of chef. At first, I just wanted to make a living and support my family, but then I gradually fell in love with it.

In addition to studying vegetables with my boss every day, I still buy vegetables in the morning, and then start a day's work.

Do the pre-meal preparations, prepare the dishes during the meal, and communicate with the front desk at the same time, and then go where you are busy.Sometimes side dishes, sometimes cold dishes, sometimes the boss on the stove is too busy to come and help on the stove, in short, he can't be idle.

In addition, I am also in charge of engraving, which has become my full-time job.

In addition to these tasks, I am also responsible for the simple maintenance work in the kitchen, such as changing the faucet, connecting a wire, installing a switch, repairing the hob, repairing the pressure cooker, etc. These small things can be repaired, and professional skills are needed I can't do the job done by the staff, I have to find a professional to do it.

Boss Zou replaced the gas hose with an iron pipe, which is much safer, and Xiao Li dared to turn on the heating faucet.Here is a reminder that pouring hot water into the gas tank is a dangerous operation, do not do it, and always remember safety first.The gas tanks used in restaurants are not liquefied petroleum gas, but propane, which can be burned directly without pouring hot water, which is much safer than in the past.

The boss said that during the Chinese New Year, he and Xiao Liu went back to Xiao Liu's house to celebrate the New Year. Huang Ping said that the Spring Festival restaurant was going to open as usual, because there were many people ordering food during the Chinese New Year in the city, and it could earn some good money by opening at this time.

The boss is away during the Chinese New Year, and the sous chef Xiao Zhang is getting engaged during the Chinese New Year and has to go home.In this way, no one cooks in the restaurant.I have to go home for the Chinese New Year, not only for the Chinese New Year, but also for my mother’s birthday on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.Huang Ping asked me to discuss whether it would be possible for me to go home to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and then come back. During the Spring Festival, I stayed in the store to cook, and I would go back after the New Year.I thought about it and agreed.

The reason why I agreed was firstly that Huang Ping and Boss Zou were kind to me, and secondly, I wanted to see how far I could operate independently on the stove and whether I had reached the level of a chef.

It's just that if I don't go home for the New Year, I feel a little uncomfortable leaving my mother at home alone.I thought that when my mother celebrated her birthday, I would talk to my mother when I got home, and my mother would agree.

In the evening, Yaru came to my room. She hadn't come for several days, and said that she had a stomachache, and it was probably caused by her daughter's family.

"Are you going back for your mother's birthday?" She asked me while eating an apple.

"Yes, I went back for my mother's birthday. I haven't been back to celebrate her birthday in two years. I have to go back this year." I said.

"How old is your aunt this year?"

"63."

"So old?" She said in surprise: "My grandma is older than me. My grandma is only 68 this year, my father is 48, and my mother is 47."

I said, "Then your parents are quite young."

She said: "Yeah, they're all quite young. My dad looks like he's in his 40s, not like 48. When my mom dies, she looks old. My mom is always worrying, and she's getting old quickly. My mother said it."

"Yes, your mother was right." I said.

"Then why don't you buy something for your mother when you go home?" she asked.

"Buy it, the second sister-in-law said she would buy it for me, so I don't need to take care of it."

"I think the second sister-in-law is very kind to you, and she thinks of you in everything."

"Really, maybe I can do it."

She tossed the apple core in the trash can and stretched.

"I'm fat again."

I look at her.After get off work, she is much more relaxed, her hair is draped over her shoulders, her hair is a bit curly, and it looks very fluffy when draped over her shoulders.He was wearing a small black sweater on his upper body, a pair of tight-fitting pants on his lower body, bare feet, and pink slippers.

Her breasts are very plump, and they bulge out of the black sweater, like two small mountain peaks.

She saw me looking at her, looked down at herself, and said, "Oh, I'm so annoying, it's just the two of them."

I laughed and said, "Isn't it good to be big? All other women want theirs to be big."

She said: "No, it's not good to be big." Then she said to me: "You don't know, I was big when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, bigger than the girls in my class, but it's annoying. Go home and tell my mother , my mother said that I developed early, and bought me a bra and asked me to wear it. When I first wore it, I felt sore, so I didn’t want to wear it. My mother checked me every day when I went to school. If I didn’t wear it, she would scold me. Then I was forced to wear it. No girl in my class wore it, and I was the only one to wear it. I felt ashamed. Hehe."

After speaking, I laughed.

She is just plain cute.

I said, "You are generous enough to dare to speak up in front of men."

"I dare to say it in front of you. Hehe." She said: "In the dormitory at night, they dare to say anything on the bed. Li Jie is the worst, always saying that I am super invincible, sometimes when I am not paying attention I sneaked up on me, and I also sneaked up on her, but she said I didn't have one, come at the airport, whatever you want. Hehe, we can make trouble in the dormitory, can't we?"

I said, "Yes, it's quite troublesome."

She lowered her head and looked at herself again, and then said: "When you buy clothes now, it's very appropriate to look at the size of the clothes. Once you put them on, they will be stretched out. Some of them can't be fastened. You have to buy a larger size. Wear a larger size." Number one seems to be fat. Hey, I'm so sad, I can't help it."

I want to laugh seeing her worry, if other women know the reason of her worry, they will go crazy with anger.

I said, "Actually, you are not fat at all. Not only are you not fat, but you are quite well-proportioned."

"Shappy? Huh!" She said, "So you said I'm not fat, how fat am I?" Then she laughed, "Hee hee, that's right, it's fine if you don't say I'm fat. By the way, today I will bring eyebrow trimmers The knife is gone, and I will trim your eyebrows."

The eyebrows that had been burned by the fire grew back. She trimmed them last time. She became addicted to trimming, so she started trimming me again.

I sat on the sofa facing her, and she began to trim my eyebrows with an eyebrow trimmer.After trimming a few times, she stopped and said, "It's not high enough." Then she knelt on the sofa and said while trimming, "Your eyebrows are really thick. They have grown so long in the past few days, and there are more."

I said, "Really, I haven't noticed it all the time."

She said: "Not only are there many, but they are almost connected. I will disconnect it for you, hehe, it looks much better this way."

The two were close, and I put my hand on her waist.

"Don't move around, be careful that I will bleed you when I get excited," she said.

"Now I am not moving, it is you who are moving, and my heart is moving." I said.

She looked down at me and said, "You are the one who is moved, you lied to me before, right?"

I don't say anything.

She went on to say: "Actually, I don't know what's so good about you. I just like you and I am willing to come to your house. Last time when my brother and my sister-in-law came, my sister-in-law asked me secretly, Yaru, are you a virgin?" Have a date? I was shocked at the time, and I said no. My sister-in-law laughed and said that I was lying, that she could tell that I had a date at a glance. I said I didn’t, and she said that someone who had a date could see it. A look of love."

"You say so?" she asked.

"Maybe, we can't feel it when we are together, but others may see it. When I went to hang the oven cake, my sister-in-law said that I promised to have sex with you, and she said it could be seen from my face." I said, There is a feeling of happiness in my heart.

Yaru sat down on the sofa.

"What's the matter? My sister-in-law must have seen it. She can tell my brother when she goes back." She said worriedly.

"Isn't it a good time to say that, it happens that we can get engaged." I said.

She hit me and said, "Fuck you, I'm talking business with you."

I said: "Don't be afraid, your sister-in-law is just guessing, she didn't see me, and you didn't say you were in a relationship, she was just cheating you and teasing you."

"Really?" she asked looking at me.

"Really." I nodded.

"Oh, I've been worried about me for several days, and I didn't sleep well." She smiled and said, "My sister-in-law can think whatever she wants, but she didn't see us together anyway, so she just guessed. Hehe, you say What would she do if she saw us like this now?"

"I don't know, I'm probably very surprised."

"She has to call Yaru, what are you doing, why are you lying in the man's arms, get up quickly, dad is here, with a whip, hehe."

After speaking, he laughed happily.

Looking at her and smiling, I feel that meeting her is the happiest thing, and I must marry her as my wife.

The days passed so quickly, and it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.After cooking Laba porridge, in addition to the staff in the store drinking it, every customer who enters the store will also give a bowl of it as a gift, for auspiciousness.

Huang Ping came back from outside when she was done working at noon, and bought all the things I brought home for my mother's birthday.I bought a pair of cotton-padded shoes and a padded jacket for my mother. The cotton-padded shoes are made of cloth and look very classy. They don’t look too foreign when worn by an old lady in the countryside, and they fit well.The padded jacket is an old-fashioned double-breasted jacket, and the color is also suitable for the elderly. It is duck egg blue and looks quite ordinary, but if you look closely, the workmanship is very fine and the pattern is exquisite, so it is not cheap at first glance.

Huang Ping chose sweaters for her five sisters, red ones, very festive.

Huang Ping asked, "Tan Zi, is it okay?"

I said, "That's great, it's much better than what I bought, thank you, my second sister-in-law."

Huang Ping said: "Thank you, the old lady celebrates her birthday, so consider it a gift from me."

I hurriedly said, "That's not okay, I have to pay for these."

"What are you talking about, Tanzi, besides, the second sister-in-law is angry, and she doesn't have much money, so why bother to raise money?" Huang Ping said with a displeased face.

"Thanks then." I said.

"Thank you, I've been shopping around half of the mall to buy these clothes, and I'm exhausted."

Huang Ping took over the young master Lao Fei from Yaru, and said to me: "See if there is anything missing."

"No more." I said.

"Let Yaru buy it with you if it's missing, I'm tired." Then he kissed Lao Fatty and asked Yaru: "I'm leaving Lao Fat, right?"

"No trouble, just kept playing." Yaru replied, then flipped through the red sweater and said, "This sweater is really pretty."

Huang Ping said: "I forgot to buy one for Yaru too, one for each of the five girls, and one for the daughter-in-law too."

Laughing after speaking, Yaru blushed, put down her sweater and ran out.

I left the next morning, the boss cooked two dishes in the evening, and we drank some wine together.In the middle of drinking, Xiao Lizi came back from outside and gave me a cigarette in his hand.

"Brother Tan, you go home to celebrate Auntie's birthday, and I'll buy you a cigarette." Xiao Lizi said.

I said, "No, you haven't made much money yet, so what are you spending on it?"

Xiao Li said: "It's not a good cigarette, and it doesn't cost much. Take it."

The boss said: "Little Lizi's kindness, you can take it, the child is very caring."

I said to Xiao Lizi: "Thank you then."

Xiao Lizi said, "Thank you, it should be."

There is no right thing in the world, it's all mutual, only when you treat others well can they treat you well.Now Xiao Lizi's side dishes are ready, and he can go out to be a water case. He is going to go out to be a water case after the new year.

The boss asked Xiao Lizi: "Little Lizi, do you want to drink?"

Xiao Lizi shook his head and said no to drink, and went back to the dormitory.

As soon as Xiao Lizi left, Yaru came from behind, saw me and the boss drinking and stopped for a while, and then went straight into my small private room.

The boss said: "Let's drink quickly, Yaru can't wait."

"Hey, boss, it's okay, just drink more." I said.

"Pull it down, we'll drink it when you come back, let's drink it quickly."

After drinking with the boss and returning to the private room, Yaru was sitting on the sofa in a daze, seeing me coming in without making a sound.

"What's wrong, so unhappy?" I asked.

Yaru looked at me and said, "I'm not unhappy."

"Didn't you eat any apples today?"

"forget."

Sitting down next to her, she leaned over and put her head on my shoulder.

I said, "I'll go back to celebrate my mom's birthday, and I'll be back in two days."

"I know," she said.

"Then you are still frowning."

"I don't know why, I feel bad."

"Do you miss me?" I asked.

"I don't know, it's just uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable, a little hurt, and I don't know where it hurts." She said, very sad.

"I'll check it for you and see where it hurts."

"Oh, don't make trouble, I'm upset, don't talk."

Looking at her, my heart began to be a little messed up.

She leaned against me for a long time, and then asked me: "When will you be back?"

I said, "Come back at fifteen."

She said, "I'll wait for you."

Then hugged me tightly, stood up and went back.

I sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, thinking that Yaru could stay with me for a while, we were talking about love, but she left unexpectedly.I went out of my mind for a while, I had already left and couldn't call back, and then I went to bed.

The next morning, I packed up my things and walked out of the hotel with my bag on my back. The boss sent me out the door and told me to bring it to the old lady, and I said yes.Then go to the bus station not far from the hotel, take the bus there to the train station, and then take the train home.When I arrived at the bus stop, the bus hadn't come yet, so I stood there lighting a cigarette and waiting while smoking.

Hearing someone calling me from behind, I turned around and saw Yaru running towards me.There were more than 20 meters away. She was wearing her hair, a black sweater, no coat, and tight pants. She ran towards me with her bare feet and pink slippers in winter.

The moment I saw her I was touched.

She ran up to me and hugged me tightly, resting her head on my shoulder, her body heaving up and down.

I hugged her and said: "Silly girl, don't wear more clothes, it's so cold, what should I do if I catch a cold."

She looked up at me.

I saw her face full of tears—
For a moment, my heart ached sharply.

She wiped the tears off her face with her hands, but just after wiping them, new tears flowed out again.

She grabbed my hand and looked at me, then cupped my head and kissed me hard and passionately.

Her tears flowed to my lips, very astringent and salty——
Dear girl, your kiss is very sweet, your tears flow in my heart.
