The story of a cook

Chapter 87 Yan Hua
Boss Zou's factory is also on the right track. He does metal spraying, which is a hazardous type of work.Large factories, such as aircraft manufacturing plants, do not do their own work and do not have such a workshop. They all know that the pigment dust will be inhaled into the lungs during spraying, and it will cause pneumoconiosis after a long time.This is the same as digging coal underground for a long time. Miners who dig coal have been working underground for a long time, and they also suffer from pneumoconiosis.

At that time, there were very few people who did metal spraying. When Boss Zou did it, there was no one else in the provincial capital, so the benefits were very good and it was very profitable.The factory is very profitable, and the work is continuous. Boss Zou is busy with the affairs of the factory and rarely comes to the store. Sometimes he comes to accompany customers for dinner.His customers are either the director of the branch of the aircraft factory or the small boss of any enterprise, and they are all rich or powerful people.After eating, I have to go to the karaoke hall to sing. After singing, I go to the bathing center to take a bath and have a massage. When I go home, I seldom go home.

Huang Ping always complained, saying: "It's better not to open a factory than to open it. When you don't open it, you can still meet people. When you open a factory, you won't even be able to see people. It's hard to meet."

Boss Zou said: "I can't help it. These people have to be served. They are all masters. It doesn't matter if the service is not good. If the service is not good, it will be difficult to settle the bill. Otherwise, it will be more troublesome."

Huang Ping said: "I'll tell you, I don't care if they ask them to take a bath, massage, or find the lady. If you dare to look for the lady, let me know and you just wait. I will tell you that you won't be able to find us three."

Boss Zou said: "I'm not looking for you, you don't know what I am, so I don't have the time to look for Miss."

Huang Ping said: "There is no man who does not eat fishy food. The lady sits next to you and sticks it on her body. When the eldest brother calls, I don't believe that you are not interested? It is best not to let me know. Knowing that your surname is Zou It's pretty."

Men who have money learn to be bad, and women who learn to be bad have money.It seems that money is the criterion for people to learn not to be bad. Sometimes I don’t understand this because I have no money and no capital to learn bad. If money is the capital for people to learn bad, then there are many rich people in China. There should be many people who learn bad things.

I think it's in my heart whether people learn to be bad or not.Money can solve people's material life problems, but what really tempts people to be bad is desire.

It is reason and morality that control desire.

Everyone wants to let go of themselves and do whatever they want, but it's not so easy to do.Some people say that you can do it when you have money, but you can’t do it even if you have money. What you can really do is not whether you have money, but whether you understand yourself.

I went to help Sister Cui cut the meat, and Sister Zhang, who was washing the dishes, was also there, and she was helping Sister Cui to pick wolfberries.

Sister Zhang asked me: "Tanzi, don't you see that Zhanze is a little different these two days?"

I said, "I didn't see it, what's the difference? Isn't it still the same as before?"

Sister Zhang said, "I'm in love with someone."

I said, "Really, dating is a good thing."

Sister Zhang saw that I didn't care, and asked, "I don't want to know who he is dating?"

I said: "There is nothing to know, it's a good thing to hang out with anyone, as long as it's not a man."

Sister Cui stopped what she was doing and asked Sister Zhang, "With whom? Is it from our family?"

Sister Zhang said: "It belongs to our family, the Yanhua of the hanging oven cake."

I looked at Sister Zhang and said, "You know everything."

Sister Zhang said: "That's why I don't know. Yesterday Zhanze got off work and went downstairs to the women's dormitory and told me to call Yanhua down. Yanhua went out with him, and it took an hour to come up."

I said, "If you go out for an hour, you will be in love, but if you go out for a day, you will not be able to get married."

Sister Cui laughed and said, "Yesterday it was Xiao Zhanzi who called Yanhua down. I thought it was the food delivery person. That food delivery person is no good. It looks like a social bastard."

Sister Zhang said: "The waiter came to Yanhua several times, and I was the one who accompanied Yanhua down. Yanhua told him that she didn't want to have a date, and she didn't go out with him. After talking, she went upstairs."

I thought about the food passer in my head. He was okay at work, but he was a bit pissed off. I hadn’t spoken to him a few times, and he didn’t live in the dormitory. I heard that he shared a rented house with his friends.Sometimes when I go back to the dormitory after get off work and pass the food stall next to Hanging Lubing, I will see him and a few young people drinking there, all shirtless, and some have tattoos on their arms, dressed like a young and Dangerous boy .When he was drinking there, he called me several times, but he didn't come over. He didn't want to drink with people he didn't know, because drinking was boring.

After listening to Sister Zhang and Sister Cui, they didn’t pay much attention to it. They felt that Yanhua and Zhanze still had the same relationship. If it was a bit inappropriate to have a date with the food passer, and the two of them didn’t match, Yanhua wouldn’t like that either. waiter.As for whether he likes Zhan Ze or not, I don't know, it's up to the person involved.

After get off work in the evening, I checked the kitchen to see if there was nothing wrong and went back to the dormitory.Zhan Ze was not in the dormitory, so he probably went on a date with Yanhua.Take a shower and read the newspaper in bed. At that time, there was nothing to read. Apart from reading novels, I read the "morning newspaper" every day to pass the time.At that time, reading the morning newspaper was like reading the daily headlines with a mobile phone every day. A lot of information was obtained by reading the morning newspaper.

There is no TV in the dormitory, and there is no news, so I can only buy a morning newspaper for [-] cents to watch the news.

I was reading the newspaper when Sister Jin's son, Xiao Jinzi, ran in from outside and said to me, "Uncle Tan, there is going to be a fight outside."

I asked, "Who's fighting with whom?"

The dormitory is on Taishan Road, and there are restaurants outside, and there will be fights every now and then, so it's no surprise.

Xiao Jinzi said: "It's Zhan Ze. Zhan Ze and the food passer are about to fight. It's outside. You can go and see. The vegetable passer has brought some friends to beat Zhan Ze."

I quickly put on my clothes and followed Xiao Jinzi out of the bedroom.

Not far outside the dormitory, Zhanze and Yanhua stood on one side, and the waiter and his three friends stood on the other side, as if they were about to start a fight.I walked over and looked at Zhanze and Yanhua, Yanhua was fine, Zhanze looked a little scared, and his eyes were a little timid.Looking at the food passer, the four boys were all eager to try, as if they were awesome, they were bluffing there, but they didn't do anything.

I said, "What's the matter, you're all so energetic, what time is it and you still don't go back to sleep."

Zhan Ze didn't speak, but the food passer said: "Brother Tan, don't worry about this matter, I'll beat this kid up today."

I said: "Who are you hitting, Zhanze—" I stepped forward and said to him, "You don't even think about it, I'm here, can you still hit me? If I'm not in this business, you can hit me , you still fight while I'm here."

The food passer pointed at Zhan Ze and said, "Zhan Ze, wait a minute. Brother Tan is here today and I won't beat you up. I will beat you up someday. Stay away from Yanhua from now on. She is my target." .”

Yanhua said: "Who is your date? I am not your date. You can go to whomever you like."

The passer-by said: "You are neither my partner nor his partner."

Yanhua ignored him.

I said, "Okay, we all work in the same place, we are together every day, and we don't say a few words."

Then he said to Zhan Ze: "Go back."

Zhanze glanced at Yanhua, but Yanhua didn't look at him.

I said to Zhan Ze: "Go back to the dormitory."

Zhan Ze hesitated for a moment, and went back to the dormitory with Xiao Jinzi.

Seeing that Zhan Ze was gone, I said to the passer-by: "As for you, brother, you even brought in your friends, what's the matter, what happened to you? If you're a man, you'll have to deal with Zhan Ze alone. One-on-one, I look down on you even if you ask friends to come over, there is really nothing to do, if you have that time, you might as well ask me for a drink."

The waiter looked at Yanhua, but Yanhua didn't look at him.Tell me: "That kid Zhan Ze is not authentic, he just deserves a beating."

I said: "Are you authentic? If I were a woman, I would like you in my heart. I see that your virtue has also been acquired." Then I patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, I made a mistake. The target is not beaten. The more you beat him, the more he will leave you farther."

He said nothing.

I said: "Go back, it's just such a small matter, and you have tossed your friend over in the middle of the night, it's not worth it, go back, let me have some drinks, I think you guys always drink together, drink some wine and go back Sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow."

The passer saw that I didn't say anything, and left with my friend.

To tell you the truth, I look a bit fierce, plus the last time I fought in the restaurant, many people in the restaurant were a little afraid of me, otherwise I couldn't easily resolve this fight.

Yanhua was left, so I said to her, "I'll take you back to your dorm."

She said, "OK."

The women's dormitory is not far from the men's dormitory, and it takes only seven or eight minutes to walk.

Walking with Yanhua, she didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say, when we walked almost halfway, she said: "I don't want to go back to the dormitory, Brother Tan, let's go drink."

I said, "What time is it now? It's almost eleven o'clock. You have to go early tomorrow."

She said, "Today I'm upset and I want to drink some wine."

I said, "Drinking is fine, but you have to go back before twelve o'clock."

She said, "Okay, it won't take twelve o'clock."

I found a skewer shop and ordered skewers, I ordered white wine, she ordered beer, the two of us ate skewers and drank wine, neither of them spoke.I don't know what to say, she doesn't say anything, she just drinks.

She drank one beer and opened a second.

I said, "Drink less, don't drink too much."

She said, "It's okay, I can have a drink."

I said, "Don't drink too much if you can."

She said: "I don't drink much, I know how to count."

I said, "That's good, don't drink too much."

She asked, "Are you afraid that I'll make trouble if I drink too much?"

I said, "I'm not afraid of you making trouble, I'm afraid that others will make trouble with me."

She asked, "Do you think that Zhan Ze and I are dating?"

I said, "I don't know, that's about you two, it has nothing to do with me."

She said: "Actually, I didn't get along with anyone, it was their own thinking."

I said, "That proves that you are attractive and beautiful."

She said, "Brother Tan, don't laugh at me."

I looked at her and said, "Don't call me Brother Tan, I think you are older than me."

She said, "I'm 25, how old are you?"

I said, "24, you are old, don't call me brother Tan, I will call you sister."

She smiled and said, "Seeing that you are older than me."

I said: "I am old, and everyone says I look like 25 or [-]."

She said: "Yes, if you don't tell me, I thought you were 25 or 24, but I didn't expect you to be [-], not as old as me."

It seems that my face is really harmful, there is no way, I look old, it was given by my parents, and I can't change it.

She said: "The waiter came to me several times, and I told him that he was not in a relationship, but he still didn't give up. Zhanze came back after a few days of silence. Sister Zhang called me downstairs yesterday. It was him, at first he didn’t say what he wanted from me, he just invited me to eat, and I said no, he didn’t leave, I was afraid that others would look bad, so I walked with him for a while, and told him that I didn’t want to date .He is really sticky, he looks like a woman, not a man at all, he told me to make friends if he doesn't have a partner. Then I went upstairs. "

I took a sip of wine, and she went on to say, "Unexpectedly, Zhanze came again after work tonight. I hid, but he found me. I couldn't explain it to him. Didn't this just happen to come to your man?" At the bedtime, the waiter led people over, and I refused to let Zhan Ze go, but even a woman like me couldn't stop them, just in time for Xiao Jinzi to come back, so I told him to call you, I was afraid that you were not in the dormitory, but luckily you were, otherwise we would have to fight today."

I said, "I can't fight when I'm not here, at most it's just to frighten Zhanze."

She said: "Zhan Ze is also timid enough, when they scolded him when you didn't come out, he didn't even dare to speak back."

I said, "One person is aiming at four people, everyone is afraid."

She said, "I don't think you are afraid."

I said, "What am I afraid of? They didn't come to beat me. Besides, I'm just a brawler. It's really against the sky to beat a brawler."

She said: "I think you are very good at talking, and they seem to be afraid of you."

I said, "It's not that they're afraid of me. They see someone coming, and they're giving themselves a step down. They don't want to do anything at all. I heard that there are people who help eat and drink, and they don't help fight."

She said, "Yes."

Seeing that her face was a little red, she said: "It's almost done, finish this bottle and go back to sleep."

She looked at me and said, "It's okay, just drink another bottle. I blush when I drink, and people say blushing people are easy to make friends with. I'm pretty easy to make friends with."

I looked at her, at this time she had the charm of a woman.

I said: "I don't know if it's good or not, but I know you're almost done drinking now, you look pretty when you're not drinking, and you look pretty when you're drinking—"

She asked, "What is it?"

I said, "It's tempting."

She smiled and said, "It's the first time I've heard people say that I was tempted. How did you come up with it?"

I said, "Actually, I want to say it's quite charming. I didn't think of that word just now."

She said, "Really, am I still charming?"

I said, "It's a little bit. At this time, a man has to be tempted to see you."

She asked me: "What about you? Aren't you a man, are you tempted?"

I smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's useless for me to be tempted, you have to be tempted by your partner."

She asked, "Did I say I didn't have someone to believe you?"

I said: "Believe it, then there is nothing you don't believe in."

She said, "You are really good."

I smiled and said, "It's not that I'm cheap. If you want to say it's true, then it's true. If you want to say it's false, then it's false. As long as you know whether it's true or not, I don't care."

That day she told me something about her while drinking.

Her family is from the countryside. There is an elder brother in the family. After getting married, her mother is gone. Her father brought her up.The family is not rich. When she was 21, her relatives found her a job in their county town. She bought goods in a small privately owned store. Those who got married and started a family fell in love with that man without hesitation.

Their relationship lasted for two years, and finally she was pregnant and was discovered by the man's wife.As a result, the man was disciplined by his wife and placed in custody, and she was kicked out by the man's wife and lived on the street.She was disheartened and lost all thoughts. Fortunately, she thought that she was still young and had to live a good life. She killed the child alone, lived in a small hotel for ten days, and then went home to stay with her father for half a year. It was also self-care. Half a year, and then left home to work in the provincial capital.

After I came to the provincial capital, I worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Because of my good looks, things like today happened in other places. I changed a few jobs, but it was not so smooth, and I finally came here.When she came here, she wanted to wash dishes in the back kitchen. Manager Liu saw that she was pretty and asked her to be a waiter in the front. After two days, Huang Ping said that she would transfer a waiter to hang the oven biscuits. If not, she will come.Although you have to get up early and go out early in Hanglubing, it is quiet and no one disturbs you.

But beautiful women will be noticed by men wherever they go, maybe this is a disaster for women.

She drank five bottles of beer that day, not to mention, there was really nothing wrong with her. She said that she started drinking when she was in that small shop and practiced it.

When sending her back, she asked, "Do you believe what I said today?"

I said: "I believe. But I have a good memory. I guess I won't be able to remember anything when I wake up tomorrow morning."

She smiled and said, "You're so clever, it's kind of frightening."

I said, "Hehe, I'm smart when I'm drinking, but I'm nothing when I don't drink. I'm pretty stupid."
