The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 192 Saving People Causes Old Sickness
When Lao Tan arrived home, Lin Yan and her son Jiaheng were eating, and they saw him come back and take a look.

"Drinking again?" Lin Yan asked.

"Oh, have a drink with Brother Liu." Old Tan said.

"Drink it, no one cares about you, drink it just a few days after the stitches were removed?" Lin Yan was obviously very angry, and said: "I don't know what's so good about that wine, can you not drink it? You drink it, drink it If something goes wrong, no one cares, and whoever you want to talk to.”

This is a typical good thing will not be said well.

"Don't worry, I won't look for you. When the time comes, I'll find a deserted place to fend for myself." Lao Tan also got angry and said angrily.

"Hmph!" Lin Yan sneered, stopped talking to Lao Tan, and continued to eat.

Lao Tan stood there for a while, wanting to get angry, but seeing his son not making a sound, he let out a long breath.

Brother Liu's words while drinking made him feel that he really rarely communicated with Lin Yan, which led to today's situation.When I went upstairs, I thought about chatting with Lin Yan, don't be so embarrassed all the time, and relax.

But seeing Lin Yan's good mood of wanting to talk like this is gone, now he doesn't want to say a word, he feels depressed for a while, as if something is blocked in his chest.Psychological effect, vaguely felt pain from the incision.

In fact, the incision has grown long ago. Alcohol can only promote blood circulation and not tear it.

This is a dull pain in the knife edge hidden in my heart.

To be honest, he cared that Lin Yan didn't go to Hohhot to see him.

He once asked himself, if Lin Yan was stabbed and almost died, he would be taken care of by her side no matter what he said, no matter thousands of miles or thousands of rivers and mountains.

After all, they are husband and wife, not people on both sides of the world, so why do they care about just showing off?
But Lin Yan didn't go and refused to do anything, which made him very angry.

Although the incision has healed, the injury is not serious after all, the body has not fully recovered, and it is still a little weak.

After coming back from Hohhot, Lao Tan thought that his wife would ask about his injury and recovery, and care about him enthusiastically, so that his tortured heart could get a little warmth, and they lived a happy married life from then on.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Lin Yan just asked how it was going well, and after getting a good answer, it was the same as before, no more words, as if nothing happened , What should I do, my nephew lights up the lantern—as usual.

It hurt him.

"What are you doing standing there? You're not right?" Seeing that Lao Tan hadn't moved for a long time, Lin Yan added fuel to the fire.

"I don't have time to talk to you." Old Tan said.

"It depends on who is easy to talk to." Lin Yan turned her head away after speaking, completely ignoring him.

Annoyed, Lao Tan put on the shoes he had just changed, opened the door and walked out of the house where he had been in for less than five minutes.

He left the neighborhood and walked aimlessly on the street.

The night wind blows on the body with warm coolness, which makes the body that is hot after drinking wine feel comfortable, and at the same time it gradually cools down.

The yelling from the stalls on both sides of the street has disappeared, and some are starting to pack up and prepare to go home after work. Only the snack sellers are still persisting, waiting attentively for the arrival of Ye Guiren.

In front is Tianxiaxian BBQ, brightly lit, crowded with people, and business is booming.This is opened by a friend of Lao Tan. The boss and him worked as chefs together in the early years.Now I have opened a barbecue restaurant, and it is still a chain, there are already six.

Diagonally opposite Tianxiaxian is Chishan Road, where Ah Qiao's Chishan shop is located.The two stores echo each other, and the business is booming.

From the depressive small space at home to the big world where you can release outside, Lao Tan has lost half of his anger.Standing at Tianxiaxian Gate for a while, he walked forward again.

He didn't go to the Chishan store, but just took a look across the street, and seeing that it was full of people, he felt a little better.

Eight hundred meters ahead is a small park, he thought of going around there.

When he was only about ten steps away, there was a loud noise behind him, which startled him, and he instinctively turned around and looked back.

The doors and windows of a chain store next to Tianxiaxian are scattered on the street, and the fire inside is flickering, and someone is running out crying——
The gas tank exploded.

This was Lao Tan's first reaction, and then he ran two steps and came closer.

The people who came out were crying and hissing.

Passers-by who were startled by the loud noise immediately gathered around, looked at it in horror, and said that it exploded.Some people have already picked up their mobile phones and started calling 110, 119.

It was the kitchen that exploded, and the guests in the hall ran out.

The faces of the two men in chef's uniforms were black, and one arm was covered with blood. They were trembling with fear, and asked the other, "Where's Old Joe? He's still inside—"

"Is there anything out of it—"

"Don't die—"

"The big fire—"

"---"

The onlookers were discussing and talking about everything.

When this happens, don’t say who else it is, it’s just crowds watching. It’s not courageous to save people’s hearts. I hope the fire doesn’t get too big, and the people inside can come out quickly.Then wait for the firefighters to extinguish the fire until the fire extinguishers subside, and then return with two sighs or two sighs, and go home angrily.

This is the normal state of human beings.

Old Tan stood beside the two kitchen men who ran out, and asked, "Is there anyone else who hasn't come out yet?"

"Old Joe ain't out," said one.

"Sister Wang didn't seem to come out either—" one added.

"Big can or small can?" Old Tan asked again.

"Small pot." The two said at the same time.

Lao Tan looked at the burning kitchen, it was full of black smoke, and there was a faint light of fire.

When a person saves someone, he only reacts in an instant, without much thought, and there is nothing to be afraid of. If he is afraid, he will not save people.

Out of instinct and years of experience in kitchen work, Lao Tan rushed into the smoky kitchen without even thinking about it.

A wave of heat hit my face, it was hot, and it was a bit scorching.

Lao Tan quickly searched around by the firelight of the stove.

no one?

Look again.

This time it was discovered that the person was right behind him when he came in, obviously overturned by the shock wave of the explosion, and passed out here.

Old Tan went over to pick up the person, and when he picked it up, he found that there was another one under him. As he picked up the person above, a woman's moan came from underneath.

Without thinking too much, he quickly pulled the people above out of the door.

When the people outside were sweating for Lao Tan when he rushed into the kitchen, they were worried.Some people even whispered, saying that this might be the boss, afraid of burning people to death——
This statement was immediately denied by the people around, because the boss is a woman.

The most nervous ones were the two kitchen men who narrowly escaped death, staring at the door, their legs trembling—when they saw Lao Tan carrying a person out, they immediately ran over.

Lao Tan entered the kitchen again, and within ten seconds, he carried the second person out.

It sounds long-winded, but in fact, it only took five minutes from the sound of the explosion to Lao Tan rescuing the two people, and it didn't even last.After he came out, there was another loud noise from the kitchen, but it was not very destructive. It should be that the roof collapsed.

Fortunately, the two people who were rescued survived.The man's injury was a bit serious, with blood all over his back, while the woman's injury was milder, with only a broken arm.

Of course, all of this was learned by Lao Tan later.Within five minutes of him coming out, fire trucks and ambulances came screaming, and when the firefighters put out the fire with high-pressure water hoses and the medical staff rescued the two people, he was almost at the small park.

It's not that you don't leave your name behind for doing good deeds, but that it's unnecessary.

Lao Tan is sitting on a long chair in the park now, thinking that this chain store is over, the boss is unlucky enough, and no matter how much money he earns, he won't be able to pay for it.Among other things, that old Qiao would have to pay a lot of money for medical bills, not worth one hundred and eighty thousand.What about the other slightly injured and frightened guests?And what about the renovation fee?

Looking at opening a restaurant to make money, nothing happened. Like this, I went back to before liberation.This is because no one died, and it would be even more dumbfounded if someone died, and the whole family would go bankrupt.

Still safety first.

A meeting will be held tomorrow to emphasize gas safety issues, and fire drills will be held to remind all employees of the importance of safety. They must also be able to use fire extinguishers and fire blankets, and learn to save themselves in the event of a fire.

"Cough!" Old Tan coughed.

Because it was night, he didn't realize that he vomited out the dirt with bright red blood.

During the tense and exciting moment of saving lives, the lungs were inhaled of hot smoke, and the trachea was slightly burned. In addition to high blood pressure, capillaries ruptured—bronchiectasis recurred again.

He sat in the small park for a while, felt better and forgot to be angry with Lin Yan, so he went home slowly.

When I woke up the next day, Lin Yan and her son left for work and school.He came to the bathroom with his upper body naked, urinated and began to brush his teeth. When the toothbrush touched his teeth, his throat became hot and he felt like vomiting, followed by a mouthful of blood.

Then the second, the third—
