The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 306 Zhang Li's Thoughts

Zhang Li came out of Lao Tan's house, and walked unhurriedly to the nearest shop on Chishan Road.

There are not many pedestrians on the street. On the first day of the new year, many people are staying at home. Tomorrow is the day to visit relatives and return to their mother's house.

In previous years, the air would be filled with the smell of firecrackers, but now the Chinese New Year is not called setting off firecrackers, it seems that a lot of things are missing, which is boring.

Originally, I didn't plan to go back to the restaurant after eating dumplings at my sister's house last night, but I thought that Lao Tan would be in a bad mood to spend the New Year at home alone, and I was afraid that he would drink too much.

I didn't expect to be afraid of anything, and I really drank too much.

No worries.

The same is true for his wife, who has to go home for the New Year. Are the two of them having a good time in the provincial capital?Go back after it's over, and it's the same thing.

Zhang Li thought, and at the same time blamed Lao Tan.

That's right, the daughter-in-law and the younger brother will go back when they go back. It's not like the company has no cars, so what's the big deal?It is not far to go to Liaozhong, and when it gets dark, there will be no delay.

That's good, the three of us are divided into three groups, as if on a business trip.

I don't know what my body is?Drink hard, drink sick and be honest.

I really wonder if they are a couple who don't care about each other——Old Tan is also the same, he doesn't tell his wife when he gets sick, and he stands on his own.I don't believe it's okay to tell my daughter-in-law and not come back. If it's true, forget it, what's the point?

He's an excellent individual, why can't he understand his wife?

Having said that, it is not easy for his daughter-in-law. It may not be like that for me. She has to take care of the children and housekeeper, and has to go to work, and she has nothing to lose. It is amazing, a woman, I admire it!

Without such a daughter-in-law, Lao Tan would not be able to work outside with peace of mind, as if he was throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper, so beautiful to him.

But but but, why don't the two get along?Are you still living in the same house?They weren't like that at first.

It's a bit unbelievable, but it's true.

Don't you want the two of you to be together?Zhang Li asked in her heart.

Impossible, as long as a normal person wants to.Answer yourself.

I heard from Lao Tan that he and his wife have not shared the same bed for 14 years. 14 years, how did you pass?Monks and nuns still think about the world, let alone human beings?

I really admire their couple, they can live together without husband and wife for 14 years, which is beyond imagination.

Possibly, I mean possible.His wife thinks that he has been outside all these years and has women, so she has an aversion to him.

That makes sense.I am a woman, if my husband has sex with other women outside, no matter it is true or not, I will never accept it, and I will never ask him to touch me again.

It is estimated that this is the case, otherwise it cannot be explained.

How can it be sexual indifference?

Or is it "postpartum parent-child syndrome"?
Now there are many women suffering from this syndrome. It generally shows that after having a child, all emotions and energy are concentrated on the child, and the husband becomes a dispensable person.

The child is the whole of life and life, and nothing else matters.

Maybe this is it.

This symptom is a psychological problem, which is caused by being alone with the child for a long time. It can only be relieved and cured after the child gets married.

If this is the case, Lao Tan will be very miserable, and will not be able to do loving things for a long time, and will be alone.

"Pfft-"

Zhang Li couldn't help laughing, thinking, why did I think of this, did I hold back?

She felt her face was a little hot, she subconsciously touched it with her hand, and said in her heart: It's normal, men and women love physical needs, it's fair and aboveboard, what's the shame?What do you think?Never hold back.

Lao Tan has had a hard time these years.But it can't be seen from the surface, and those who don't know the inside story think that they are a good couple, a model couple, and some even take them as role models.

"He's just pretending, working hard to get rid of himself, so he really doesn't want to think about it--I guess drinking is also the reason. After drinking too much and falling asleep, he doesn't think about anything." Zhang Li said in her heart.

There are many people who like him, and there are many opportunities and conditions. If I were his wife, I would think about it—he can't be idle.

Estimated that this is the crux of the problem.

You should talk to him and persuade him to communicate with his wife, don't always ignore whoever you are, live your own life, and there is that big son.

When Zhang Li thought this way, there was another voice in her heart: I like him and love him, but I can't destroy his family.You can be a lover, the kind of Tie Zi, it doesn't matter if you do bad things, if you need it, he needs it too.

But never go any further.

This is the only way to be with him in this life, let's be husband and wife in the next life.

When Zhang Li arrived at the Chishan Road store, the store was very busy and full, and they were all booked years ago.After the waiter ran back and forth, the passer-by carried the tray up and down the stairs, his face covered in sweat.

The kitchen was frying and chopping, wrapping and boiling, the menus fell like snowflakes, and the dishes were brought out quickly, and there were occasional shouts.

Seeing how busy she is and her professional habits, Zhang Li immediately threw herself into the atmosphere, helping to order, serve, and remove the tables, getting busy.

During the Spring Festival, there is no food, almost one table goes to another table, and the busy work does not stop until [-]:[-].

The kitchen took advantage of the time to make work meals quickly, and the four chefs fried together, and the employees quickly ate them.

I can't help but feel sad watching everyone eating.

The waiters are all one by one. Since there is no room for all the customers, they are all crowded in the serving room or standing or squatting, eating as fast as possible, and then quickly change to another one.

Chuancaisheng is even more pitiful. When eating, the kitchen comes out with food, put down the rice bowl and pass it on quickly, and then eat again when you come back.I eat three or four times a meal, and the food turns cold in the end.

Everyone in the kitchen took their positions, and they all stood at their posts to eat.When the food comes, put down the rice bowl to cook, and then eat after finishing.

A meal also eats three or four times——
It is said that catering people are suffering. Those who have not experienced it do not know. Those who have experienced it say in their hearts that they will not work in restaurants in their next life. This is not a job for people.For those who celebrate the New Year, watching the family reunion, happily talking and laughing to celebrate the New Year, cooking, serving dishes, serving wine and tea for others, and laughing.

Is that easy to laugh?
There are tears in the smile——

Tears rolled in my eyes, the old father, old mother, wife, children, sisters and sisters of the family flashed in front of my eyes one by one, it was uncomfortable——

What can I do to fix the discomfort?
Swallow the tears in your stomach, cheer up and continue to work. To be honest, there is nothing to say if you choose to serve the people!

Zhang Li didn't eat, so she packed her food and prepared to go to Lao Tan's house. When she was walking out, she met the customers who entered the store.

It was their family that came in with him, obviously pre-booked.

Ren Qingyun looked at Zhang Li with a surprised expression on his face, and disbelief in his eyes.

He asked, "Did you—"

He probably asked if you were alive, because what he knew was that Zhang Li had cancer, and since he hadn't seen her for more than a year, he thought she was dead.

"Nothing? Do you think I'm dead? To tell you the truth, I can't even die if you die."

After Zhang Li finished speaking, she sneered, and walked straight to the door, muttering as she walked: I was disappointed, I ran into a dog.
