The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 401 Gu Yi's Wedding, Lao Tan Drinks Too Much
Lao Tan got on the train to Suzhou. The reason why he took the train instead of the plane was because he wanted to feel the coolness of the high-speed rail.

In the 40 years of China's reform and opening up, great changes have taken place.Now the country is rich and the people are strong, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment, okay.

Although a cook can't say much praise for the great changes in the motherland, he is happy and proud in his heart; although his thoughts have not risen to the level of the country, as a descendant of the Chinese people, he must be proud of the prosperity of the motherland.

Love has no borders, science has no borders, but people have ancestors.

In the past two days, Gu Yi and Sister Wang are happily discussing their marriage.The two of them didn't make any arrangements, just some old friends gathered together to have fun, and after the fun, they went on a trip for their honeymoon.

Although it is not organized, there are many people who come.Lao Tan, Zhou Xiaomei, Wang Shulan, Huang Lijuan, Zhang Yu and his wife, Zhang Li, Zhongqing, Hao Nansheng, Qiao Gang, Qiao Shan brothers and sisters, Boss Zhang from the Hunan Restaurant, Boss Xu from the Shanghai Noodle Restaurant, and Sun Yucong from the Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the old sisters from Sister Wang's side, relatives and friends, a total of eight tables were set up.

Lao Tan had a table with Sun Yucong, Qiao Gang, Qiao Shan, Hao Nansheng, Wang Shulan and others. As the chairman of the provincial city chamber of commerce, Sun Yucong once looked down on a small dumpling restaurant like Aqiao, thinking that it would not make money without development, and would not be successful.

Unexpectedly, it has developed like this in a few years, which has far surpassed his business, and he can't help but feel ashamed.Thinking of the scene when Lao Tan and Gu Yi were talking to him about the rent of the Humble Administrator's Garden shop, I felt deeply guilty for making things difficult for me.

Responded to that sentence: At the beginning you looked down on me, but today I make you look down on me.

Lao Tan didn't stay at the banquet for a long time, even though it was a wedding, he couldn't drink too much, let alone the next one.

This is the boss getting married, how can we leave the employees behind?
In the evening, the Humble Administrator's Garden store is closed, and a large banquet is held for the middle-level and above management personnel in the entire Suzhou district. Other stores also close early, and the employees have dinner to congratulate the boss.

Hehe, Lao Tan drank too much at night, not the usual amount, but the kind of drunk.

He drank with a couple of newcomers first, then with the store manager and head chef, and then with the stall owner, cooking chef, department head, floor foreman, and manager. He drank a five-cent liquor cup one at a time, without hesitation and boldness.

When I drank it, I was elated and sober, not at all drunk.Under his leadership, everyone was in high spirits, chatting and laughing, and the whole hall was full of joy.

When he finished drinking and walked out, he told Erdun and several masters who sent him off that he was fine, but when he got out of the door and saw the wind, it was over, and he staggered and almost fell down.

Immediately afterwards, he was drunk and unconscious.

When he woke up, it was already noon the next day, his head was buzzing in a daze, he couldn't get up, he lay there and didn't dare to move, the world would spin when he moved.

Yaru, who was guarding him, saw that he was awake, and said softly, "Are you awake?"

He let out a "hmm", then closed his eyes again with a distressed expression on his face.

"Is your blood pressure high? Would you like some water?" Yaru asked.

He said "hmm" again, answering both questions.

Yaru brought the poured cold boiled water and put it on the bedside table, sat on the head of the bed with one leg, lifted Lao Tan's head slightly into the crook of his arm, and then held the water glass with the free hand, as if waiting for a serious illness Feed Lao Tan to drink water.

Old Tan felt better after drinking a glass of water, but he was still dazed, his head did not move, he did not dare to turn over, and lay on his back.

"Are you hungry?" Yaru asked.

"Not hungry, just uncomfortable."

"Isn't it uncomfortable to drink those wines?" Yaru continued in a reproachful and distressed tone: "Drink it hard, and I can't persuade you."

"---"

"I'll warm up the millet porridge for you to drink, and then take a tablet of antihypertensive medicine. I vomit until I have nothing to eat."

"I threw up?" Old Tan opened his eyes.

"I almost vomited my stomach out --- spit Erdun and I together, do you know?" Yaru asked.

Lao Tan shook his head and said he didn't know. Shaking his head made him feel that the roof was turning, and he quickly closed his eyes.

Seeing his distress, Yaru didn't want to irritate him any more, so she said "I'll make you hot porridge" and went to the kitchen.When the porridge is hot, bring the pickles together and put them on the bedside table, like feeding water just now, take a spoonful of porridge and a mouthful of pickles.

It is estimated that the alcohol has burned the gastric mucosa, and the entire stomach is full of alcohol.Although the millet porridge was not empty, it didn't taste good when it mixed with the alcohol in his stomach, and it seemed to be going back up. Lao Tan stopped drinking after drinking a small bowl.

Yaru didn't continue to feed, but poured another glass of cold water and took antihypertensive medicine.Old Tan drank half a glass of water and took the medicine, feeling better.

"One more sleep, just one more sleep." Yaru said.

"Ah."

Sleeping extravagantly after drinking, Lao Tan fell asleep again after a while.

When he woke up again, it was already evening, the west slanting sunlight came in from the window, and the whole room was shrouded in a golden haze.The wind in early summer is soft and gentle, blowing into the room becomes a warm touch, which makes people feel comfortable.

Yaru took back the clothes hanging outside, including hers and Lao Tan's, all of which Lao Tan vomited last night.There are also bed sheets and pillow covers. Yaru gets angry when she sees these two.

Last night, three young and strong masters carried Old Tan into the house and put him on the bed, thinking that he would not vomit anymore, but when he just lay down, he turned his head and vomited with a "wow", all the vomit was hair Yellow, viscous gastric juices, tinged with blood.

The three masters helped to take off Lao Tan's clothes, and changed the sheets and pillow covers, and Lao Tan fell asleep in a deep groan.

The three masters left, Yaru was worried, she would spend the whole night on the sofa, and she couldn't sleep well, she would wake up as soon as Lao Tan turned over and hummed, and got up to see if there was nothing wrong before going back to sleep.

Lao Tan is not so uncomfortable now, his head is not dizzy but heavy, and his whole body is exhausted as if he had a serious illness, and he has no energy at all.

It was also uncomfortable to lie on the bed for a whole day. With the help of Yaru, he barely leaned against the head of the bed and half-lyed with pillows under his arms, but his energy was much better than in the morning.

Yaru poured a cup of iced black tea, and he drank it in one gulp.

Yaru took the empty glass and said, "Don't drink these wines in the future."

"Yes." Old Tan said.

Yaru asked a little puzzled: "I haven't seen you drink too much, how much did you drink yesterday?"

Old Tan thought for a while and said, "It probably weighs three catties."

Yaru was not surprised, but just stared at him with hatred.

"I won't drink it in the future, I really won't drink it anymore." Old Tan said.

"Hmph, just talk about it, quit drinking when you feel uncomfortable, forget everything when you feel better, and drink as usual." Yaru didn't believe it at all.

"I really don't want to drink this time, quit." Old Tan said seriously.

"Jie? Don't say quit, you remember the place where wine is sold." Yaru sarcastically said, then remembered something, and said: "Zhongqing came this morning, and I didn't call you when you fell asleep. He and Zhang Li is leaving at noon, so I'll come over and talk to you."

Old Tan said "Oh".

"Zhongqing just left and Xiaomei came to say hello to you. She returned to Beijing with Mr. Wang and Huang Lijuan." Yaru continued.

Old Tan said "Oh" again.

"They are also on the plane at noon. I don't know if you drink too much. I guess if they know, the king will always come to see you." Yaru said with a little deep meaning.

Old Tan was stunned for a moment, then said: "I can't—"

"What can't you do?"

"If possible, the three of them will come together."

"Don't you know you drink too much?"

Old Tan looked at Yaru and smiled, and stopped talking.

Yaru also laughed, and said to himself, "If you know, you can't come, I'm here."
