The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 480
It was ten o'clock when Zhang Li got home, so she called Zhou Xiaomei first, and told her about what Lao Fang said.Zhou Xiaomei also felt that this situation was true, so she decided to start rectifying the management.

Zhang Li said: "We need to be more cautious in rectifying the management, especially the store managers and chefs. These people are generally good. They have been with us for many years, and they can't kill a boatload of people with one stick.

I think the work point system should be improved, and there should be strict regulations on the points assessment of executives, so that it will be better. "

Zhou Xiaomei said: "You mean to refine the job responsibilities of the store manager and head chef?"

Zhang Li said: "The first is to refine their job responsibilities, and the second is to set the work process more accurately and let the employees know. This will not only make the work transparent, but also play a supervisory role."

Zhou Xiaomei said, "Okay, I'll make a plan first, and then we'll touch it."

After talking about business, Zhang Li asked, "Is Lao Tan coming back soon?"

"Well - he went in March, April, May, June, there are still about [-] days." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"I don't know how he is now—"

"Don't worry, it's fine, Baolitu has gone to take care of him."

"Oh, he's got to have someone with him."

"When my brother-in-law was here, I didn't feel that there were these things. Everything was in order, but now I have things all day long, so I can't keep busy." Zhou Xiaomei complained a little.

"You managed it well." Zhang Li said.

"What I'm looking forward to most now is that my uncle will get well soon and come back early. I'm a little overwhelmed. Let me tell you, Sister Zhang, I will talk about contract renewal with two landlords tomorrow, and I have to have dinner with the Electricity Bureau in the evening. The matter of Rong is settled. I am almost an alcoholic now, drinking every day."

Zhang Li smiled and said, "It's okay, you drink a lot."

"I can't stand drinking every day if I drink too much. Didn't you see those men, they are all lewd, and they want to get me drunk and do bad things right away."

"Hehe——" Zhang Li was amused, and said, "I told you to get down."

"You can't pour it all down, you have to leave a sober aftermath, cluck—"

After talking on the phone with Zhou Xiaomei, Zhang Li was about to take a bath, when she saw Lao Huang beside her looking at her, and asked, "Why don't you sleep?"

"Just fell asleep." Lao Huang said, and then asked: "How is Lao Tan?"

"It's good, I'm practicing in the mountains." Zhang Li put on her slippers and walked to the bathroom.

Lao Huang seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say anything when he saw Zhang Li entered the bathroom.

Zhang Li came out of the shower, and seeing that Huang was still awake, she went to bed and got under the covers.

"I will retire next month." Lao Huang said.

"Let's go back, it's a good thing, I'm free." Zhang Li said.

"My pension is five thousand three thousand a month, which is enough for the two of us."

"Hmm—" Zhang Li yawned, and casually pulled the quilt up.She is a little tired and wants to sleep.

Lao Huang stretched out her arm when she was pulling the quilt, and she raised her head habitually, resting on Lao Huang's arm, turned over, and retracted her back into Lao Huang's arms.

Lao Huang stretched out his other hand to hug his plump wife, and said in a low voice, "I have some time after retiring. Let's go on a trip and walk around."

"I'm afraid it won't work this year, I won't be able to leave." Zhang Li said.

"You're already 51, it's time to rest, stop doing it."

"I also want to quit. Isn't Lao Tan sick? He's not here—" Zhang Li said, turning over and facing Lao Huang face to face, and then said: "I can't leave at this time, there is no successor, and I can still earn some money." Well, 10,000 yuan a month.

Xiaona (Lao Huang's daughter)'s child is in junior high school, so you didn't care about it before, but you don't care about it now that you're retired? "

"With her parents-in-law, I don't need it."

"Then give me some money."

"Yes, can you not?" Lao Huang stroked Zhang Li's hair back, "I see that you are too tired, and my heart aches."

Zhang Li smiled contentedly, and promised: "For those who celebrate the New Year, I will stop working during the Chinese New Year and go on a trip."

"Okay——" Lao Huang made a long voice, and said, "In our workshop, no matter who retires, we will set up a table, and I have to set up a table too. Let's arrange it in your restaurant."

"Okay, I promise to give you the same four and four, so I won't embarrass you."

"Drink some good wine that day."

"Wuliangye okay?"

"Great."

What Lao Huang said "too good" means that the grade is a bit high. A bottle of Wuliangye is [-] to [-] yuan, which is more luxurious, and a bottle of [-] to [-] yuan is fine.But Zhang Li heard that Lao Huang was very satisfied, so she decided to drink this.

"How many people can come that day?" Zhang Li asked.

"Just a few good ones in our workshop, more than ten." Lao Huang said.

"Then set up two tables. Zhongqing and Huaqing can come that day, as well as Yanhua and Lao Deng, right?"

"Okay, listen to you."

"You and Lao Deng are both retired, this time you have a companion for whatever you do."

"What company can I have? Lao Deng coaxes the children at home every day, and I can't come out. I'm still alone."

Speaking of the child, Zhang Li felt a little regretful, and her expression darkened for a while, but then disappeared again.

At this time, Lao Huang said another thing.

Although Lao Huang and Lao Tan's old friends Li Ge and Wang Ming are not in the same workshop, they are in a branch factory and know each other.Today, Lao Huang went to Li Ge's workshop to repair the circuit. It happened that Wang Ming went to find Li Ge. They talked about Lao Tan's divorce, which surprised Lao Huang.

He thought Zhang Li should know if Lao Tan got divorced, but Zhang Li had never heard of it.In addition, Lao Tan is recovering from illness now, why did he get divorced?
He didn't believe it, so he asked.Wang Ming said that he did leave, and Lao Tan didn't want to drag Lin Yan and the child down.

This news was even more shocking to Zhang Li than hearing that Lao Tan had cancer.

If she had heard the news before she knew Lao Huang, she would have gone to find Lao Tan immediately, and she would have moved the whole family there.

But now I can't, and I won't think about that.

Some things are in the past, but when you look back, you can't do it again.The same is true for people, with the past, the past and the passing of time.

This is fate and fate.

There are always some regrets in the world, or some mistakes, which make people feel emotional.

"Really?" Zhang Li asked in disbelief, suppressing the shock in her heart.

"It should be divorced, otherwise they can't talk about it." Lao Huang said.

"Why did you leave—"

"I think Lao Tan thinks he has cancer and doesn't want to delay his wife."

"In the early days, he couldn't die, so what's the delay?" Zhang Li said excitedly.

Seeing that his wife was a little excited, Lao Huang said, "If you have time, you can ask me what's going on."

Zhang Li didn't say anything, thinking that Lao Tan couldn't get a divorce, but on the other hand, thinking that Lao Huang couldn't lie about it, she was a little upset for a while.

She turned over, leaned her back into Lao Huang's arms again, and pulled Lao Huang's big hands to her chest to hug her.

Lao Huang stroked his wife's plump and soft breasts, and was speechless for a while.

After a while Zhang Li said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as you know it, don't go out and talk about it."

"I'm just telling you."

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will run away with Lao Tan?"

"That's not—"

"I don't know what you mean by being narrow-minded." Zhang Li patted her husband's hand, "Hold me tight, I'm sleepy."
