The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 375
On the first day of the new year, Xiaofeng got up, washed up, cleaned up the house briefly, and then went to the Hanjun House.

When the door was opened, the room smelled of alcohol.

Han Jun fell asleep on the bed, snoring lightly.Half of the quilt is draped over the body, and half is pulled under the bed.

The ashtray on the bedside table was full of cigarette butts. There were four beer bottles on the dining table.

Xiaofeng frowned, first opened the small window to let out the smell of alcohol in the room, and then started to tidy up.After tidying up, Han Jun was still asleep, Xiaofeng didn't call him, and closed the door to go to work.

Han Jun woke up at noon, saw that the house was cleaned up and knew that Xiaofeng did it, and was grateful.My head hurt a bit, I drank some water first, and then started to wash.

After washing up, she was dressed and ready to go to the store when the phone rang and Bai Jiaqi called.She said on the phone that she knew he was busy in the morning, so she didn't bother him. It was one o'clock now, and the dinner was almost gone. Her mother had already prepared the meal and asked him to come over.

He wanted not to go, but he was already prepared, and it would be bad if he didn't go, so he agreed.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Xiaofeng called in and asked him if he got up, if he had a headache, and if he was hungry. He had ordered some pasta to cook porridge for him.

He hastily said not to see her off, but to go to Bai Jiaqi's house.After hearing this, Xiaofeng said don't go there empty-handed, buy some gifts for Chinese New Year.Tell him to go drink less, don't be blind, and behave better.

The Bai family, in a high-end residential area in the north of Furong District, has a multi-storey building and lives affluently.

What the Bai family was talking about was the hostess Du Hongmei, and Bai Wanfeng was hardly in charge, and he belonged to the group who eat idle food and ignore other affairs.

Du Hongmei fell in love with Han Jun and wanted to recruit a son-in-law.Bai Jiaqi also appreciates Han Jun, but it's just that love is not sure, it doesn't mean that you love each other just because you appreciate it, it takes a long time.

On the other hand, Han Jun has his own heart, and all his thoughts are on Xiaofeng, and he only treats Bai Jiaqi as a friend.Having said that, even without Xiaofeng, he would not have considered Bai Jiaqi. The difference in background, status, and family conditions between the two was so great that he hadn't thought about it at all.

This is also the general mentality of hotel workers.They are all children from the countryside. Their family conditions are not good, they don’t read well, and their education level is not high. Most of their choices of lovers are limited to the circle of restaurants.

They are all in this line of work, no one picks on anyone, and they don't look down on anyone, they belong to the right family.Once beyond this circle, the gap between each other is too big, it's not that I dare not think about it, but it's useless to think about it realistically.

There are many stories about a rich lady who does not dislike the poor and loves the rich, and she marries a young chef for love, but they are all in novels and movies, and there are very few stories in reality.

Nowadays, although the social status of restaurant workers has improved, to be honest, the opinions that have been rooted in people's bones are not so easy to change. When someone says that a daughter married a chef or manager, even though they don't say it, they still say that in their hearts. —I found a dry restaurant.

The meaning is self-evident-no big promise.

Han Jun didn't have the idea of ​​dating Bai Jiaqi, so he didn't have the cautiousness and scruples about dating, he was generous and thoughtful, without losing the handsomeness of a standard man, which attracted Bai Jiaqi, and then he started to appreciate it.

He doesn't have the delicate hair and arrogance of those rich kids, not to mention handsome, but also steady, smart and flexible, with both the demeanor of a general and the toughness of a man, which undoubtedly attracts girls.

Not to mention girls, women in their thirties are attracted, otherwise why would Du Hongmei like him as her son-in-law.

It seems that the Bai family is really looking for a son-in-law, and Bai Jiaqi's uncle, aunt, uncle, and aunt are all there.Du Hongmei had already prepared the meals. When Han Jun came, he first had some New Year's greetings, and then the guests and hosts took their seats, and began to eat and drink.

There are elders around, and it is the first day of the new year, so it is inevitable to toast.Han Jun drank a lot last night, and today he started to drink again. After a few rounds, his face was flushed, as if he couldn't stand it.

Du Hongmei immediately implemented protection.

"Xiao Han, hurry up and eat food after the toast, and try Auntie's cooking." Then he said to Bai Jiaqi: "Pour Xiao Han a drink, don't tell him to drink, let the three of them drink by themselves."

Bai Jiaqi poured drinks for Han Jun, and the aunt opposite asked Han Jun: "Xiao Han, is your restaurant busy for Chinese New Year?"

"It's okay, the table is full." Han Jun replied.

"Is that your annual salary here?" My aunt continued to ask.

"Yeah." Han Jun nodded politely.

"You are the store manager, so you must have a good education. You graduated from a bachelor's degree?" the aunt asked again.

This question was a bit embarrassing, which aroused Du Hongmei's displeasure.

Han Jun was fine, and replied with a smile: "I don't have much education, my family is poor and I can't afford to go to school, and I graduated from junior high school."

This answer seemed to be expected by Aunt Bai Jiaqi, but she just wanted to confirm it, with a slightly contemptuous expression on her face.

Du Hongmei's face sank, and she said to her sister-in-law: "What time is it? How can you judge people like you? Now, education is not equal to ability, and diploma is not equal to level. Xiao Han has no education, but he has ability, relying on his own ability Earning money to eat is better than ordinary people.”

When Uncle Bai Jiaqi saw that his wife said something wrong and made people unhappy, he immediately raised his wine glass to smooth things over, and said to Han Jun: "Come to the store manager Han, let me have a drink. I have eaten at your house. The dumplings are good, and the dishes are also good." Eat it, especially the Northeast skin jelly is so good, it's absolutely amazing."

Han Jun was hesitating whether to drink the wine or not. At this stall, Uncle Bai Jiaqi also picked up the wine glass and said that he was the one.So the three raised their glasses to each other and did it together.

Han Jun is no stranger to Uncle Bai Jiaqi. He met him when he was doing power expansion. Uncle Bai Jiaqi always leads customers to eat in the store. He is already an acquaintance.

Uncle Bai Jiaqi smiled and said to Aunt Bai Jiaqi: "Sister-in-law, don't look at Xiao Han who graduated from junior high school, but he is capable and has a good management, which is no less than a college student. He doesn't need an interpreter when he receives foreigners. He talks directly, and foreigners give him a thumbs up." "

What he said made Aunt Bai Jiaqi's eyes widen, and the expression on her face was between belief and disbelief.

At this moment, Bai Jiaqi spoke.

"Han Jun is a top professional manager with a certificate. There are no more than [-] professional catering managers in the country. According to the diploma, it is equivalent to a doctorate."

She took a look at everyone, and she could see the expressions of everyone. Although they were different, the effect was quite good.

Then said: "Also, if his foreign language level is rated, it can reach level four."

To be honest, Du Hongmei and Bai Wanfeng don't know what Bai Jiaqi said, and it's not a secret. Aqiao's store managers have all been trained as professional catering managers and have qualification certificates.As for the few top-level ones, they have to go through rigorous examinations, practical operations, and defenses, and foreign languages ​​are one of them.

This is also the uniqueness of Lao Tan's employment, and he dares to invest in talents.

Bai Jiaqi's aunt really has the suspicion of judging people by their appearance, and thinks that working in a restaurant is not very promising, even the store manager is also a part-time job?Is it still a white-collar worker?I didn't expect them to be really good, and they were a little slapped in the face.

Of course, all of this is nothing. After all, during the Chinese New Year and the first day of the new year, everything passed with a happy atmosphere, and the host and guest had a good time.

Although Han Jun was protected by Du Hongmei, the people at the table were all elders, especially Uncle Bai Jiaqi, who was the leader, could both drink and talk.

After the meal, the three elders and Aunt Bai Jiaqi went to the lounge to play mahjong. Han Jun drank some tea and felt relieved. When he was about to go back, Bai Jiaqi stopped him and told him to sleep before leaving.

He was helped upstairs and ushered into the guest room.

Bai Jiaqi mixed a glass of milk, handed it to him and said, "Milk hangover, sleep after drinking, and then I will take you back."

"Thank you." Han Jun took the milk, "I drank too much last night, otherwise I couldn't do this."

"Drink with the staff?" Bai Jiaqi asked.

"Um--"

"You are the store manager, you should drink with the staff. Sister Feng didn't drink too much, did she?"

"She didn't."

"Both of you have to wake up—go to sleep, you're really uncomfortable. I'll call Sister Feng later and tell you to go back later."

After Bai Jiaqi finished speaking, she got up and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned her head and smiled, then closed the door and left.

Han Jun was really dizzy, and after two days of continuous fighting, he was a little overwhelmed. He thought he would take a short nap and leave when he woke up.

After a while, I woke up lightly, with the fragrance of sleep and dream, and I had already fallen into Huang Liang.

　At the end of the month, thank you for your support to the chef, thank you! !!
