The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 270

Zhou Xiaomei expressed her gratitude to Cao Jiadong the next day. Seeing the bicycle he was riding, she knew that the electric bicycle had been ridden away, so she bought a new one. Cao Jiadong was very embarrassed.

"What's the matter with embarrassment, if it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't know what it is like." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"I was also careless and forgot to lock the car." Cao Jiadong said with a blushing face.

"Otherwise, your car should be changed." Zhou Xiaomei smiled after finishing speaking, and continued: "In two days, my dad is ready to go back to his hometown, and he will take Xiaolong and Xiaoying with him."

"Xiaoying won't go, it's making a lot of noise." Cao Jiadong said.

"What's the fuss? The two children are companions, don't worry about it," Zhou Xiaomei said.

There are not many two families who can get along so well when working outside. To put it bluntly, people are kind-hearted, and they will treat you as you treat them.Good is good or bad is bad, clearly and clearly.

Selfishness for selfishness, kindness for kindness.

All the ways others treat us, we have taught ourselves.

Old Tan went home first after getting off the plane. Since it was Sunday, his son Jiaheng didn't go to training, so he was going to cook something delicious.To be honest, he can't stay at home for a few days in a year, and he doesn't care enough for his children, so he always feels guilty.

It’s not just him like this, most of the catering people are like this. They walk towards the morning glow and return with the moon. Even when they go home every day, they can’t say a few words to their children. , Sometimes I don't even have a chance to speak.

In addition, I can't catch up with a break.Children rest on Saturdays and Sundays, and restaurants are the busiest on Saturdays and Sundays, and adults can't rest. When the restaurants are not busy on Mondays and Tuesdays, the children go to school again.

Don't mention Chinese New Year and holidays, there is no New Year's Day for catering people, there is only busyness and serving the people.It's New Year's Eve after you've been busy, enjoy the belated holiday.

"Son, what do you want to eat tonight?" Old Tan asked his son.

"Anything is fine—" Jiaheng said in a long voice.

"Don't say anything, just say the same."

"Dad, let's eat barbecue when my mother comes back. I'm hungry for barbecue."

"Okay, let's eat barbecue."

"Go to Han Ji's house in front of our house. I would like to eat his special big piece of meat and snowflake beef. My mother likes to eat his cold noodles." Jiaheng said.

"Have you been there with your mother?" Old Tan asked.

"I've been there. My mother's colleagues invite me to eat at his house. My mother and I have been there twice alone. His barbecue is the oldest in our area. There is no place when we go late."

"Really? Go and have a look at night."

Lao Tan doesn't like barbecue very much, he thinks it's too much trouble, and he is in a hurry to cook it too quickly.But my son loves to eat and be with him.

Hanji's barbecue is really popular, not inferior to Aqiao Dumpling House.

This Sunday, people lined up for dinner. Fortunately, Lao Tan reserved a table in advance, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to eat.

Lin Yan came back early today, and the family of three sat together harmoniously.

In our long life drama, there are not many scenes where the three of them sit and eat together.

Son Jiaheng ordered the special beef, snowflake fat beef, chicken crispy bone, cuttlefish, black pepper beef tenderloin, Lao Tan ordered soy mixed dry tofu and boiled peanuts, Lin Yan ordered mixed cauliflower, perilla leaves and cold noodles .

Lao Tan ordered another beer drink.

Like many families of three eating in restaurants, the man drinks and eats vegetables, and the woman eats vegetables and drinks with the children, talking a few words from time to time.

Jia Heng went to junior high school during Chinese New Year, and talked about choosing a school.

"I went to No. 33 High School, and the coach has already made an agreement with the coach there, and I can do it after the trial training." Jiaheng said.

The son wanted to continue playing basketball, and Lao Tan was a little bit reluctant, and asked, "Have you considered it?"

"Think about it." The son, who was already about the same height as him, said affirmatively.

"Basketball is a giant's profession. If you are not tall enough, you will not be able to enter the national team." Old Tan said.

"He's just twelve years old, so he still has to grow." Lin Yan disagreed with Lao Tan's statement.

"It's long, but it doesn't meet the requirements. Playing basketball can be a hobby, or focus on learning." Lao Tan said.

Jiaheng said: "I know. Our coach said that you can practice basketball when you are in 33, and you will not miss cultural classes. You can use your special skills when you are in high school.

"Son, think about it, playing basketball is hard." Old Tan reminded.

"It's okay, I won't drop the culture class." Jiaheng said.

Lin Yan said: "I have contacted the coach, Jia Heng can go directly to 33, just prepare the money."

Old Tan said: "Money is a trivial matter, the main thing is the school?"

"Dad, you don't know. Most of the players in our provincial team went out at 33, and there are also some from the national team." His son Jiaheng immediately said the names of several national team players, which means that they read it at 33, and he can do it himself.

Lao Tan didn't want his son to take the path of a sports student, but his son has practiced basketball for three years and is relatively good. He has participated in many youth competitions and has already liked it. It is impossible not to play him at this time.

So he said: "Go to line 33, but don't delay your studies."

"It's time to take care of the children, what have you been doing?" Lin Yan said with a cold face.

Old Tan didn't want to argue on this occasion, and said, "Isn't there you?"

"Just prepare the money. You don't have to worry about your son's schooling. I will take care of it." Lin Yan said.

"Okay, how much money do you need?" Old Tan asked with a smile.

"The coach said forty thousand."

"Okay, it's okay."

Lin Yan added: "I contacted the director of the sports department at 33, and he said that if he participated in the national competition, it would count as a result and he would have a chance to enter a professional team."

"Forget about the professional team, just go to college." Old Tan said.

"Extraordinary students get extra points when they take the university entrance exam." Lin Yan said.

"That also needs to keep up with the culture class." Old Tan said.

"Let's make up lessons." Lin Yan said to her son after finishing speaking: "Jiaheng, Mom told you that you can play basketball, but you can't delay your studies. If you can't do it in culture, I will transfer you to another school and won't let you play basketball. .”

"Don't worry, there will be no delay." Jiaheng said solemnly.

Lao Tan looked at his son and felt that he was a child yesterday, but he has grown up today, and he doesn't know how he grew up, as if it happened all of a sudden.

The son has never been in charge of it since he grew up. If he is out of town, he is busy, or socializing and drinking.

To be honest, Lin Yan is qualified as a mother, otherwise her son would not be so good.

Although the relationship with his wife is not good, like a stranger, but he is grateful to his wife for the training, education, and care of the children.

The three of them walked home after dinner, Lin Yan told Lao Tan about Xiaohui's childbirth, and told him to think about giving red envelopes.Lao Tan said that it is better to go and see together, she will give it better then.

Lin Yan glanced at Lao Tan and said that she didn't have time and didn't want to see the people in the restaurant, and told a story about people from her unit going to Aqiao's Dumpling Restaurant for dinner.Said that it was the waiter who asked the big one, and felt that his store was famous, so he began to look down on the customers.

Lao Tan asked which store it was, and Lin Yan said: "Taishan Road store, several stores in your house are like this, not from our unit, but from other customers. You should take care of it. My big unit has a lot of assets. One billion yuan doesn’t dare to show face to customers, your house is just a small restaurant, if the service is not good, you will wait for yellow, customers are not used to problems.”
