The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 472 Gu Yi Arrives
April in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and the flowers are blooming.

Over the past year, Suzhou Aqiao's business has been surprisingly good, with an average daily turnover of [-] more than in the same period, which made Gu Yi and Qiao Shan very happy.

The business was good, so Gu Yi had the idea of ​​continuing to open the store. After talking to his wife, Sister Wang, she asked him to discuss with Lao Tan, because Lao Tan said years ago that this year was a period of rectification and he would not open a shop.

Gu Yi couldn't get through to Lao Tan for two days, so he called Zhou Xiaomei.Zhou Xiaomei told him that Lao Tan had entered Daqingshan, there was no signal there, and he would be back in three months.

Gu Yi wondered why Lao Tan went to Daqingshan, Zhou Xiaomei said that Lao Tan went to the mountain to practice, take care of his body, give himself a holiday, and relax.

After putting down the phone, Gu Yi said to his wife: "Old Tan has something strange. Years ago, he was raised in the Beautiful Valley to cultivate his body and mind, and after the next year, he went to Daqingshan."

Sister Wang said: "He wants to rest, these years are exhausting enough."

"Then you don't have to go to Daqingshan. The place is so isolated from the world that people can't get through the phone. If you want to take a break, why don't you go out and travel? If you want me, I'll go to Hainan instead of Guilin. There are mountains and rivers."

"Personal preferences are different—by the way, I didn't ask whether Wang Shulan went there. Were they not together when they were in the Beautiful Valley?" Sister Wang said.

"No, just call and ask." Gu Yi said.

Sister Wang called Wang Shulan, and the two women chatted about trivial matters first, laughing and joking very lively, Gu Yi frowned, and signaled his wife to hurry up and ask the business.

Sister Wang ignored him and smiled mockingly at him.He lit a cigarette angrily, then laughed at himself - Wang Shulan must not be with Lao Tan, otherwise he couldn't get through the phone.

"How is your business?" Sister Wang asked.

"Very good, better than last year." Wang Shulan said.

"Have you contacted Lao Tan recently?"

"I can't get in touch. Xiaomei said he went to Daqingshan."

Wang Shulan gets angry when Lao Tan is mentioned.When they came back from the beautiful valley, the two agreed to finish their work before going back to recuperate. It didn't happen that Lao Tan came to Beijing without telling her, so he went to the old Chinese doctor for a follow-up consultation, and then ran to Daqingshan.

This made her both angry and worried. Of course, she understood why Lao Tan did this, but she was really worried.She wanted to go to Daqingshan, but Zhou Xiaomei advised her not to go, because Lao Tan said before entering the mountain that he didn't want to be disturbed, and besides, that place is not just for everyone, it has to be fate.

"Really, why did he go to Daqingshan?" Sister Wang asked.

"What else can I do, let's recuperate." Wang Shulan said.

"Care for illness? Why do you have to go there to take care of your illness?"

Wang Shulan didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to say, "There's nothing wrong with him—isn't he high blood pressure? That's clean—it can lower blood pressure."

Sister Wang was born as a judge. She has a meticulous thinking and logical insight into the details. She heard Wang Shulan's slander, so she thought of Lao Tan's recuperation in the beautiful valley, and she didn't go home during the Spring Festival. If it was to have an affair with Wang Shulan Not so.

Now that he went to Daqingshan alone, it was definitely not as simple as lowering his blood pressure, let alone his high blood pressure is not a day or two.

"Sister, tell the truth, is brother Tan suffering from some kind of illness?" Sister Wang asked seriously.

"He—" Wang Shulan hesitated.

Gu Yi next to Sister Wang suddenly became nervous.

"It's nothing, you say." Sister Wang said.

"Xiaomei didn't tell you?"

"I want to make sure."

"Old Tan he—early gastric cancer."

After knowing that Lao Tan had cancer, Gu Yi and Sister Wang understood his abnormal behavior in the past three months, and expressed deep sympathy and concern.Gu Yi gave up the idea of ​​opening a shop, and the couple decided to go to Daqingshan to visit Lao Tan.

In April, the weather in Suzhou was very different from that in Hohhot. Sister Wang caught a cold when she arrived in Hohhot and developed a high fever.Two days later, the high fever subsided, but my body was too weak to go into the mountains.

Gu Yi left her in Hohhot, and went with Yang Zhijun himself.

The mountain roads are winding and dangerous.

The mountains are gray with the desolation of winter.There is already light green on the sunny hillside, and the cluttered shrubs and mountain trees are starting to turn green, and some of them have spit out immature green shoots.

The further you go in, the warmer it becomes, with light green instead of gray and white, full of vitality.

"This place is nice." Gu Yi said involuntarily, looking at the scenery outside in the car.

"You didn't come last month. It was bare last month, but the pine trees on the mountain were a little green and cold." Yang Zhijun said.

"Old Tan is very good at choosing a place."

"I don't like to come to this place. There's nothing there, except for the mountain or the mountain, and it's not a temple. My third brother is here. I always study Buddhism when I have nothing to do. I can chat with those lamas."

Gu Yi smirked, "I can't stay in this place either—I have nothing to do with Buddha."

"After the new year, my third brother looks very good. Hey, he can think about it and doesn't take it seriously. I think he is more energetic than before. He doesn't smoke anymore, and he can still drink alcohol. He makes it himself."

"Are you still drinking?" Gu Yi asked.

Yang Zhijun said: "Drink." Then he said: "When I first heard the doctor say that he had stomach cancer, I was terrified, and my brain went blank, and I didn't know what to do. It's a bit mysterious to say that the sky is falling, but Almost less.

The prosecutor in Beijing said it was also cancer, not to mention how uncomfortable it was at the time, it was not a taste.I just can't replace him, if I can, I'll do it for him.You said that in these years, he has never had a free day, he is busy talking about this and that tomorrow, it is no wonder he is not sick, he is simply tired. "

Gu Yi didn't speak, listening to Yang Zhijun continue.

"My third brother has had a hard time these years. I haven't seen him rest since the day I met him. He taught me all the skills, from apprentice to chopping board, from chopping board to cooking on the stove, to chef and chief chef. He brought it up step by step.

I have a stubborn temper, not good, and my firepower is short-tempered, and I can catch fire when I light it.In these years, he didn't care too much, took me wherever I went, and left others alone.It’s okay for me to work under him, and I can listen to what I say, so I save some money to talk about a daughter-in-law—”

"You can do it now, a family of three is great." Gu Yi said.

"Let me tell you, Brother Gu, it was all given to me by my third brother." Yang Zhijun said, "My daughter-in-law was also brought out by my third brother. Without him, how could the two of us do this at Aqiao? We would have been laid off a long time ago."

Gu Yi smiled and said: "There is no Aqiao without him."

"I admit that, without him, there is no such thing as a clever. My third brother is honest and dedicated, no matter what he does, he wants to do a good job, and he can't fail. Other people are good, kind-hearted, and anyone who asks for it will be happy." OK, without saving face.

Hey, in his whole life, he has been thinking of others and worrying about his life.Don't worry about not getting cancer—”

Yang Zhijun let out a long sigh, feeling bad.

"Well, didn't the old Chinese doctor in Beijing say nothing was wrong?" Gu Yi asked.

"That's right—it depends on the third brother's mentality now—I think it's okay, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come here. He has never fought uncertain battles these years."

Gu Yi said: "As long as the mentality is good, nothing will happen. I believe in Lao Tan."

"Hehe, I believe it too." Yang Zhijun squeezed the corners of his mouth, "I'm worried about driving now. When I sent him here last month, I told me that there was nothing to disturb him. I will definitely be reprimanded when I get here. .”

"It's okay, it's me."

Yang Zhijun glanced at Gu Yi, with a kind of sneer on his face, and said: "Without you, I could have received less training, so I brought you here, hmph, he can train me more.

Let's go back together, he's fine. "
