The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 441 Snow Night
Soon, the wine was half drunk.

Kang Min said to Lao Tan: "Tan Dong, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, we are going to record a food column for the Spring Festival stalls, your home is a dumpling restaurant, so it should be the headline."

Old Tan said: "This is a good thing. It's too late to thank you. In this way, you can contact Mr. Zhou. I'm alone now and don't care about anything."

"Tan Dong is modest." Kang Min said, "Well, then I will contact Mr. Zhou." Then he said: "This time the program is not only broadcast on TV, but also short videos on Kuaishou. Kuaishou spreads quickly. Great influence."

Her words aroused Lao Tan's interest. He has been studying short videos for the past few days, but his ability is limited, and he really doesn't understand.

He asked: "Ask me, how can I make the video enjoyable?"

Kang Min laughed and said, "There must be post-production, and it won't work without post-production."

"Oh--"

"Short videos are also videos, which require editing, recording, soundtrack, and narration, which is the same as making short films, but it's not that complicated. In this way, if you want to make a video, send me the information, and I will do it for you. I have a professional team , every minute." Kang Min said.

I didn't expect that what was so difficult for me to break my head was so easy for others. I really don't know which book I don't know, so I still have to be a professional in what I do.Lao Tan quickly expressed his thanks and said that I would please make short videos in the future.

After a meal until the sun went down, everyone had a good time and satiated with wine and food.

Lao Tan obviously couldn't go back to Hohhot, so Huang Lijuan arranged a hotel for her.

Lao Tan sat in the wicker chair in the room drinking tea and smoking, thinking about the touching story of her and her husband that Huang Lijuan told at the wine table.

To be honest, people who have a bad relationship with their husbands and wives can't hear such things. Apart from envy, they tend to think of their own misfortunes. Once they think of their own misfortunes, they feel gloomy and feel sad.

Lao Tan thinks he is 45, and has spent most of his life in the catering industry. On the surface, he looks good, but in fact?Who knows who is suffering, a man who can't even manage his family is also flawed in his career.

He has always believed that a happy family is the cornerstone of his career, a solid foundation and a strong career, but an unstable foundation and a precarious career.He knows what his home looks like, and he has deliberately not mentioned his family in front of outsiders these years, because it made him sad.

He envied Huang Lijuan and her husband, and was moved by Huang Lijuan's husband's sincere devotion to Huang Lijuan.From others to myself, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of her illness when she didn't take care of herself, and didn't even say a word of concern.

He said to himself: It seems that there is no emotion at all——
I don't know when snowflakes floated outside the window. The snowflakes were huge and silent, which deepened the tranquility of the night.

Lao Tan walked to the window and looked outside, snowflakes were flying under the street lamps, rendering the whole city.

He wanted to go out for a walk, so he put on his down jacket and hat and came out of the hotel to the street.

There are few pedestrians on the street, the lights of the shops on both sides warm the night and the snow, there is no wind, it is warm like a warm spring night.

He walked in the direction of the dumpling restaurant.

When he came out of the hotel, he didn't think about home. Surrounded by the warm night and the snow, his heart was peaceful and his mood became more beautiful.

He walked unhurriedly, and occasionally he was caught by the noise from the restaurant he was passing by, so he stopped to take a look, and saw the people sitting around eating and drinking talking and laughing, he felt very uncomfortable. Warm, even a little touching.

When he was approaching the dumpling restaurant, he stopped, and a young couple hugged in the shadow of the street lamp in front of him. He didn't want to disturb, although he knew that they didn't care about his disturbance at all.

In fact, he is admiring it, because the picture is very beautiful.

The night was very quiet, with snow fluttering, and the snowflakes looked like flying elves under the street lamps. Under the elves, a couple embraced tightly.They seem to be outside the world, and they seem to be receiving the blessings of God in the world.

He is like an uninvited guest, one step forward is to disturb, but standing here is to appreciate,
After a long time, the embracing couple slowly separated, and the two walked forward hand in hand, gradually walking away, blurred by the snow——
Old Tan didn't move, he took out his cigarette and lit one, and he didn't move until the smoke he exhaled merged with the snowflakes in front of him.

Aqiao's Dumpling Restaurant is brightly lit, and the snowflakes are not blocking the booming business.The parking lot in front of the door is full of various types of cars, there are millions, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and thousands of electric cars, three-wheelers, and bicycles.

The restaurant is a place where all kinds of religions gather, especially the dumpling restaurant like Ah Qiao, which is unique, down-to-earth, elegant and close to the people, so everyone likes it.

The mayor is invited to come here to eat without dropping the price, and ask for something elegant and delicious, as well as health wine that you can't drink if you have money in other places.Ordinary people with 20 yuan in their pockets can also enter, a plate of dumplings and a side dish, and a bowl of tofu nao is provided in the store, which will definitely fill you up.

Lao Tan didn't intend to go into the store, but just stood outside and looked around.

The scene of coming here for the first time appeared in front of his eyes. It was when he came to Jining with Gu Yi and Zhou Yujun to resolve the dispute between the merchants in the fur city and the mall. After finishing the work, he missed the meal time, and the three of them drove in the street. Turn around and look for restaurants that are still open.Gu Yi had sharp eyes and saw that there was a dumpling restaurant called Aqiao, so the three of them walked in half curious and half eager to eat.

At that time, it was just a small restaurant with an area of ​​[-] square meters. It was not well decorated, and it was kept clean. The dumplings were delicious.When the proprietress Huang Lijuan learned that Lao Tan was the real manager of Aqiao in the provincial capital, her face was full of surprise, and her expression is still fresh in her memory.

Who would have thought that in a few years, Aqiao, who was under the false name, would become the largest dumpling restaurant in Jining today.

People, as long as you don't change your original intention, everything is possible.

Looking at the brightly lit and thriving store in front of him, Lao Tan thought that [-] years would soon pass while feeling emotional.This year has been very hard. First of all, we withstood the pressure of raw material price increases. By adjusting the menu and increasing the number of dumplings, we stabilized the source of customers and gross profit, and passed the difficult period smoothly.

Next, the Changsha market, opening three stores in one year is already the limit.A few days before the opening of each store, I couldn't sleep all night and night, thinking about the preparation situation repeatedly in my head, lest I miss something, I didn't expect it.

This is a habit developed over the years, and it can also be said to be the root cause of sitting.The feeling of not being able to sleep is very uncomfortable, and it is difficult for people who have not experienced it to understand.

Also, in the summer, I experienced the biggest employment crisis since I was in management, and my white hair was a gift from the crisis. Although I couldn't tell it with my bald head, I knew it.

During that time, I was really angry, but I was also excited, like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be beaten to death, getting braver as I fought.

The crisis is resolved, and the hair is all white.

He touched his head, but he didn't touch his bald head, and the snow on his hat was stained with his hands.

He clapped his two hands together, patted off the snow, and started to turn around and walk back.

The snow on the ground already has a thickness and is very soft to step on.

Old Tan was thinking about the things to do in [-] as he walked. Although he had already calculated and made a plan, he still had to think about it.This is also what he often tells the management staff, not only must there be a plan for work, but also preparation before the plan.

If you can tell others, you have to do it first, and after doing it for a long time, you will form a habit.

"[-] years, [-] years—eh, [-] years." He was talking about [-] years, and somehow he thought of Jianguo coming up in [-]. Inexplicable feeling.

Chinese New Year is the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a year of great celebration for ten years.

He calculated in his mind and muttered: "Chinese New Year is an ordinary year, this year's [-] Chinese New Year is already Hai, and when Hai is the tail, it is also a pig.

At the end, the plan must be summed up, and those who are not satisfied should step up to meet the standard, and there will always be troubles.Pig, good fortune will be lucky, and it can also be oppressed, which is auspicious.

It seems that it is right to stop opening shops to recuperate during the Chinese New Year. Although it is not superstitious, how can the wisdom of the ancients be compared with today's people?The end of the twelve zodiac signs is also the beginning of the reincarnation of the earthly branches.

The Chinese New Year is the year of cultivating internal strength and getting ready to go. It can be seen that the plan is completely correct and wise. "

Thinking of this, he felt refreshed, took out another cigarette and lit it, took a puff comfortably, then looked up at the deep and distant night sky in the snow, and at the profusely falling snow, he took a deep breath.

It's snowing all night.
