The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 30 Xiaofeng
Lao Tan walked on the Yellow River Street, feeling depressed.It was nothing to him to be laid off, but this time the layoff was a bit sudden, and he was angry and had the urge to scold his mother.

Mr. Xu's expression flickered in front of Lao Tan's eyes, and his words rang in his ears, so he couldn't get angry.I want to see what will happen in the future, I know what I have done, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept it.Seeing that everything is in order, just follow the implementation. If the management is so simple, it is not called management.

The Kanto family is indeed a place for development, but it seems that it has no relationship with Lao Tan.

If you are angry, you have to face the reality. If you are laid off, you want to be laid off. Continue to look for a job, and you can't stay.

I called the fourth child and two friends and told them that they are no longer working in the Kanto family, and pay attention to the work.After making the phone call, I looked up at the sky. There were long white clouds, a piece of blue tiles, and the wind was sunny, which is a rare good weather.

It's okay to go home at this time, I'm in a bad mood, and I want to find someone to drink.

Lao Tan thought that Brother Liu would be free at this time, so he called and asked.

Brother Liu was at the mahjong club, and when he heard Lao Tan talk about drinking, he readily agreed, and went out with Xiaofeng to see Lao Tan rolling out noodles by his mother.

Xiaofeng, 38 years old, has a handsome face and a slender figure.I live in the same community as Brother Liu. I came back from Yunnan last year. I have nothing to do at home. I am not very keen on mahjong, but it is boring to be alone, so I asked Brother Liu to lead me to join in the fun.

Xiaofeng has a good personality, a bit like an old man, carefree, and gets along with anyone.When I was young, I was mixed in the society, and I was also a figure in Santaizi, and I knew some big brothers by face.In recent years, I have been bringing goods in Yunnan and made a lot of money. Now the golden basin has washed its hands.

He is very social and loves to drink. He and Brother Liu have a few drinks every day, and then the two of them go home feeling dizzy.

Brother Liu ordered Lao Tan's favorite spicy fried haggis and shredded pork noodles with hot pepper in advance, plus a plate of dried tofu with hot pepper.Xiaofeng ordered fried chicken racks and a bottle of white wine.

After Old Tan came, Brother Liu introduced Xiaofeng to him, and the three of them started drinking.

"Why don't you do a good job?" Brother Liu asked Lao Tan.

Lao Tan said: "There is also a head chef in his family, and I have been taking it with me since I went there. The boss means that the head chef can do it now, and ask him to continue to take care of it. This will pay a lot of salary."

Brother Liu got a little annoyed when he heard this, and said, "This boss doesn't pay much attention. He just kills donkeys, that's not the way to do things." Then he complained to Lao Tan, "You are also affordable. If you ask you to take it, you will take it. Teach apprentices to starve to death, master." , there are countless."

Old Tan smiled and took a sip of wine.

"Brother, are you a chef?" Xiaofeng asked Lao Tan.

"Well, cook." Old Tan replied.

Brother Liu said: "My brother is a chef, do you know the Guandong family of Wanfangmen? He is the head chef there, and he just quit."

"Oh, you are the head chef of the Kanto family. You are amazing. I ate there a few days ago and it was very good. I like his tofu the most. It is tender, and the fried meat sauce is delicious. " Xiaofeng said.

"It's okay." Old Tan said, the last thing he wanted to mention was the people in the Kanto region.

"I heard you mean to bring out a head chef, now the boss doesn't need you, right?"

"Hmm." Old Tan grinned.

"Fuck, it's too careless, so why does the boss follow suit? It's boring! If you have craftsmanship, you can make money wherever you go. My friend works in restaurants. Let me introduce you." Xiaofeng said indignantly.

"Thank you." Old Tan said.

Brother Liu said to Xiaofeng: "If you really want a friend who works in a restaurant, introduce him to my brother. My brother is good at cooking. You have also eaten at people in the Kanto region."

Xiaofeng said confidently: "I've been in touch for the past two days, but it's hard to find a job."

Seeing that she said it easily, it didn't seem like she was bragging. Both Brother Liu and Lao Tan believed it a little bit.

The three of them chatted while drinking, when Xiaofeng's phone rang halfway through the drink, it was a friend who asked her to go drink.

"I'm drinking now, don't go, I want to drink another day, if you don't come here again." Xiaofeng said.

Her friend had already finished ordering at another restaurant, so she asked her to bring brother Liu and Lao Tan to save embarrassment.

Brother Liu and Lao Tan couldn't go, of course, it would be embarrassing if they didn't know each other well.

Xiaofeng is kind-hearted, originally the three of them drank together, but it was not the case to leave by themselves, so she paid the bill and forced the two of them out of the restaurant together.

The three of them took a taxi and walked northward along the Yellow River Street, passed Wanfangmen and went up the Third Ring Bridge, then got off the Third Ring Bridge and passed by the Normal University, the School of Finance and Economics, and the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Industry, and finally stopped at a family at the west gate of the North Campus of the School of Administration. Dandong Small Seafood" in front of the restaurant.

It's called Xiao Seafood, and the scale is not small, with [-] square meters upstairs and downstairs.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a ten-meter-long seafood stall.The marinated small seafood is neatly placed on the conspicuous first floor, including stewed shrimp, crab, sea crab, conch in sauce, cockles, apple snails, and shrimp.The variety is complete, the stew is very good, just look at it and want to eat it.

In the fish tank, there are bass, yellow croaker, sea yellow croaker, octopus, turbot, opium fish, and wild loach.

Small seafood includes conch, flower clams, red clams, cockles, meretrix meretrix, razor clams, scallops, whitebait, oysters, scallops, sea urchins and so on.

It is worthy of Dandong small seafood.

Xiaofeng's two friends have already ordered dishes, and the table is full of seafood.

Through Xiaofeng's introduction, the surname of Yuan, who is petite and short-haired, is Yuan Guifang.The tall, unrestrained and unrestrained one is named Qi Lifen.The two don't get along very well, one is shy and the other is rough.

Yuan Guifang is the person in charge of external development of Jinxing Copper, a star enterprise in the province. She has just returned from a field trip and will go to a production base in Inner Mongolia to be in charge of market development.

Qi Lifen, from Shandong, is in the copper wire wholesale business, and she has a customer relationship with Yuan Guifang.The two have been dating for a long time, nearly 20 years, and they are good sisters.

Xiaofeng and Yuan Guifang were classmates who grew up in the same college when they were young. They were good friends and girlfriends.

After the five people got to know each other, they sat down again.

While drinking, Xiaofeng asked Yuan Guifang what she was mainly doing at the production base in Inner Mongolia. Yuan Guifang said she didn't know, and she was waiting for the notification from her superiors.She was planning to retire, but the leader asked her to build the market over there before retiring.

"I won't go out to run the market anymore. The company bought the land there and built the largest copper product trading center in Northeast China. I'll just run the park in the past. I don't care about anything else. I'm getting older and some things can be done when I'm young. Do some back office work."

Xiaofeng joked, "Do you want to be a housekeeper? I'll be your housekeeper."

Sister Yuan said, "Yeah, let's go. I heard that there are no people in that place for forty miles, and the toilets are all wild places."

"That's good, no one cares about bare buttocks." Xiaofeng laughed.

"Be bare buttocks, mosquitoes can bite you to death." Sister Yuan said.

"Bite and bite, whoever kisses is not kissing."

Everyone laughed.

Some people in the Kanto kitchen were a little puzzled by Lao Tan's sudden departure. Why didn't he do a good job?Discussing with each other with such doubts.

Li Zhongqing, Xu Jun, and Li Xu stood on the stove and talked about it.

"Master Tan is a nice person, it's a pity to leave." Li Zhongqing said with regret, patted Li Xu, and asked, "Do you know why you left?"

Li Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's all decided by the top management, I don't know."

"Aren't you the head chef? You don't even know about it." Li Zhongqing half-jokingly said.

"I'm a head chef, I don't even like a fart." Li Xu said.

Xu Jun said: "In our family, good people can't do it for long. I guess the boss cares about money—"

"It's possible." Li Zhongqing agreed, then looked at Xu Jun with admiration, and said with a smile: "I find that you are smart now."

"Get lost—" Xu Jun cursed.

Pastry room.

"Boss, why isn't Master Tan doing it anymore?" Fat girl Wang Xiaoqi asked Wang Shulan.

"I don't know, it was too sudden." Wang Shulan said.

"Master Tan is such a nice person—" Wang Xiaoqi sighed.

"It's not the time for you to hate him." Wang Shulan said with a smile.

"Hey - I love and hate him. To be honest, I'm really afraid of him. When I saw him, I felt like I was caught stealing again. I didn't dare to look at him - but Master Tan is really good. Watching him It's fierce, but it's not fierce, you can see how they made the pimple soup——I admire it." Wang Xiaoqi said sincerely.

"Hey, at our house—let's work. There are some things we're not involved in. We'll have everything after we've done our own work." Wang Shulan sighed and didn't ask everyone to discuss it.

Wang Hong's face was very ugly, and she decided to leave after the salary was paid, and would not stay here for one more day.

Yuan Hua and Zhou Hongyou were smoking outside the kitchen.

"Do you know why Master Tan left?" Yuan Hua asked.

"Ask me? Where do I go?" Zhou Hongyou said angrily.

"I didn't see that Wang Gang didn't show up now." Yuan Hua said meaningfully.

"I'm sorry, Master Tan left and he took care of it, it's obvious."

"You can do it. You can pick up the whole kitchen. Master Tan has dedicated himself and taught you all the handicrafts of the farm."

Zhou Hongyou took a deep puff on his cigarette and said, "If you wait two days, treat Master Tan to a meal."

"Call me when you please," Yuan Hua said.

"Calling you ass, you spend money."

"We spend money differently. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine, right—"

"You—" Zhou Hongyou shook his head bitterly, and said, "I haven't learned anything from Master Tan for a long time, and you will be like this in this life."
