The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 160 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river
A person who has never been taught can never teach others, and a person who has never been supervised can never control others.

People gradually mature and grow up through continuous experience.

Growth has nothing to do with success or failure, but mainly with mental maturity and rich experience.

Mulan is a qualified manager, but she has never presided over any activities, which is lacking in this aspect.Lao Tan wanted her to be the host. She knew it was training herself, so she called Zhang Li after get off work.

Zhang Li unreservedly passed on her experience to her, and finally said: "At the beginning, the chef is cooking in the kitchen. There will be a cold scene before this time. You can sing, and you can sing two songs to adjust the atmosphere. In addition, at the beginning The whole point is grand, ask the employees to dance and do a show of demeanor."

"Yeah, how come I didn't expect to show my style." Mulan said pleasantly.

"Scoreboards, scoreboards, serving dishes, dish names, and statistical scores are all prepared in advance. If it doesn't work, just preview it. Also, prepare certificates and prizes in advance, and arrange how to present awards in advance. Don't wait until the time comes. Chaos." Zhang Li said.

"Well, let me touch the boss again."

"Boss Tan knows everything better than me. He taught me. If you have something to ask him, why are you afraid of him?"

A busy day of work is over, the kitchen is cleaned up, the gas, water and electricity are turned off, and the employees start to go out one after another.

Lao Tan was sitting at the table near the door, smoking a cigarette, and chatting with Zhang Yu.Zhang Yu is now in charge of the decoration of the central kitchen store, and he has just returned from the scene.

"The kitchen equipment has been shipped from the provincial capital, and it will arrive within a week." Zhang Yu said.

"Okay, are the tableware set?" Old Tan asked.

"deal."

"Do you think that place can't be relocated?" Although Gu Yi said that it can't be relocated within ten years, Lao Tan was still worried and asked Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu said: "Minister Zhao helped to ask about it, and it can't be moved, it's okay."

"That's good." Lao Tan nodded reassuringly.

Yaru and Wang Yanli came out of the kitchen and came to Lao Tan.

"Did you drink today?" Yaru asked Lao Tan with a smile.

"Didn't drink." Old Tan replied.

"Would you like to drink?" Yaru said.

Old Tan was taken aback, and asked, "Really?"

"As soon as you talk about drinking, you will be refreshed." Yaru laughed, and then said: "Yanli has been rushing to you for four months, and she didn't say to treat him to a meal. It's an old classmate. How embarrassing."

Old Tan glanced at Wang Yanli, feeling really embarrassed.

What Yaru said was the truth, since Wang Yanli came to Hohhot, he really hadn't sat down with other people and chatted, and he didn't say that it was rude to invite them to dinner.As if how capable I am, I look down on my hometown people when I become an official.

"I'm really sorry." Old Tan blushed a little, and said sincerely and embarrassingly: "Well, let's go out and have a drink."

Yaru smiled and said, "Yanli said I would treat you to dinner, but we didn't even have a work meal."

Lao Tan was about to go out to dinner with the two ladies, and called Zhang Yu to go with him. Zhang Yu couldn't say it, so he had to go home to take care of Yanzi, and happily told Lao Tan that Yanzi was pregnant for more than two months.

Old Tan was very happy to hear the news, so he didn't bring Zhang Yu along.Thinking that Yanzi is an older pregnant woman, Zhang Yu must take good care of her and go to the hospital for checkups frequently.

Coming out of the restaurant, Yaru said: "They are very powerful, and they have a child."

"Forty years old, normal." Old Tan said.

"You don't plan to have a second child?" Yaru asked.

"It's hard to keep one." Lao Tan said with self-deprecation.

"Your family has more than ten children?" Wang Yanli asked.

"Ten years old." Old Tan said.

"Your child is young enough. My son is [-]. He didn't pass the college entrance examination, so he just sits idle." Wang Yanli said.

"Didn't review anymore?" Old Tan asked.

"No, the mine manager arranged a job for the power plant. As you know, the power plant is not profitable, can't pay wages, and most of them are laid off. His shift is not serious, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, I don’t want to listen—” Wang Yanli sighed at this point, and continued: “His father has been following his grandparents since his death, so I can’t control it.”

As the saying goes, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, like Wang Yanli, a widow with a child, although the mine caretaker helped to open a small shop, but the mine was dying, the workers had no money, and the business of the small shop was not good.Most of them are owed on credit. There is no cash, and the cost has to be paid in. Those who come and go can't keep going, so they have to go out to work.

Lao Tan invited the two of them to eat boiled mutton.

While drinking, Old Tan asked Wang Yanli if there were many people who were laid off from the mine and stayed at home. Wang Yanli said that there were quite a few, those who had the means to do business to make ends meet, those who had no means to go out to work, and those who were reluctant to stay home, looking for a living at the door of their homes.

She said: "Our family can live in the countryside now. As the old saying goes, 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river. In the past, the industrial households were awesome. They paid money every month and looked down on the agricultural households. Now it's reversed. The industrial households are nothing. Every family in the agricultural household can do it, especially the flue-cured tobacco household. The hair is black and black. When it comes to planting tobacco and threshing tobacco leaves, the industrial households work in the flue-cured tobacco family. The men are [-] per day, and the women are [-]. At noon Take care of the meal."

"Don't you have land?" Old Tan asked.

"What's the matter? When I got married, I caught up with the non-government transfer. I felt that the food from the national treasury was awesome, so I transferred. Now it's too late to regret it. If you have a few acres of land, you don't have to buy it, even if you don't grow it. Money." Wang Yanli said regretfully.

"Did anyone stay at home want to work?" Old Tan asked.

"Yes, why not." Wang Yanli said: "Most of the older people like me stay at home and want to work to earn some money, but they can't leave the family. Let alone me, where can I go alone? It's all right. Everyone has a family and a job, and the child is in his twenties. There are old and young, how do we go?

You don't know our old man, he used to go to work before, like an uncle.Now I don’t have a class and I don’t want to work hard, I can’t earn big money and I don’t like to earn small money, I can’t help it if I don’t like it, I fight all day long--the old ladies go out to earn money, and the old men are so narrow-minded—”

After Wang Yanli finished speaking, she gave a wry smile, and Lao Tan remembered that the few old men she saw in her canteen when she went back to her hometown to visit her father's grave, they should be the kind she said - guarding at home, living on subsistence allowances, and wearing smart clothes all day long There are five people and six people. In the words of the common people, it means that the donkey will not fall.

"Didn't you read it, I don't even have 50 yuan in my pocket, I'm bragging all day long---there's a mahjong club at our house, these idlers have more space, they go to the mahjong club every day, lose a lot It's not embarrassing enough to spend ten or eight dollars in a hurry. In addition, the mahjong club is not a good place. Who will go to live?

Many old women who are idle at home are also running somewhere, and they look like they are eighteen. Is it playing mahjong?On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, something will happen, and if you tell me you know each other, our junior high school classmates, Li Xiuling and An Guangjun, both have families and businesses, and they got involved in the mahjong club. The army fought and almost died. "

Li Xiuling and An Guangjun are Lao Tan's classmates in junior high school, they are not in the same class, but Lao Tan still has an impression.When Wang Yanli spoke, the faces of these two people appeared in her mind. Although they were not clear, they would definitely recognize them.

"Do you still have contact with my classmates?" Old Tan asked.

"Yes, but not many. They are those from Heshanggou. I don't get along with them very much. Sometimes they go to the small store to buy things and talk a few words." Wang Yanli said.

"How are you doing?" Old Tan asked.

"It's okay, everything is fine. Xu Na is divorced. His old man keeps a car. He got a lot of money from the divorce. Now he is opening a restaurant with her sister in the city." Wang Yanli said.

"Xu Na—" Old Tan heard the name familiar, but he couldn't remember this person for a while.

"From Xigou, there are two sisters in her family, one elder brother, her elder brother is a year older than us, and her elder sister is good-looking and crazy. She is also good-looking and relatively quiet. She didn't speak a word when she was in school. Braids, sharp chin." Wang Yanli said.

Lao Tan thought about it and said, "I remember her family owned a car when I was in school, and the household was ten thousand yuan."

"What is a ten thousand yuan household? His father lost the money he earned by speculating, and then ran away with a Sichuan girl." Wang Yanli said.

"Oh——" Old Tan nodded, "If there is anyone in our family who wants to come out to work, you can contact us, our family is recruiting."

"Is it making dumplings too?" Wang Yanli asked.

"Well, women make dumplings, men cook dumplings, and they can also do odd jobs."

"Okay, I'll get in touch. Our family's salary is guaranteed, and the treatment is good. There are many people who can do it." Wang Yanli said as she glanced at Lao Tan, and said with a smile: "Our classmates are counting on you to do well now. Your family is the poorest, and many people look down on it—people, there is no place to talk about it, who would know that your future is like this?"

Yaru joked: "Would you marry him if you knew he was going to be like this?"

"Hehe, almost." Wang Yanli smiled generously, and said, "At that time, I didn't know who to date. But he was very powerful. He beat my father and my brother all by himself, and he didn't get down. Because of this, I He also stole eggs from home and sent them to him."

"Why didn't you get down on the ground, your legs almost broke." Lao Tan remembered the fight back then and smiled.

　People, there is nowhere to say, I don't know what will develop into it.But there is one thing that needs to be observed, and that is to have a clear conscience.Good night, folks!
