The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 51 Don't Tell My Sister to Miss You

With one month left before the Spring Festival, Director Zhang began to prepare for taking over after the year.

He doesn't need Lao Tan to manage, his wife is an office clerk and can speak well, so the manager is naturally his wife.In fact, he would not stay even if he wanted to use Lao Tan. With Sister Yuan gone, it is impossible for Lao Tan to continue working.In addition, Sister Yuan is doing it for the group, and the benefits are the same as group employees. Director Zhang is doing it for individuals. It is impossible to have those benefits, and it is impossible to pay high wages.

Hua Qing, Sun Haicheng, Wang Hong, cold dish master and Lao Tan withdrew together, and the rest of the staff stayed behind.

The holiday before the year is set on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still twenty days left.

The landlord of the shop that Yanhua talked with Yanzi called and said that the owner of the cram school had given up asking for the transfer fee, and the house could be transferred as long as he paid one month's rent.

The combination of Yanhua and Yanzi is fine, and the monthly rent is [-], which is completely acceptable, so that the decoration can be done immediately after the Spring Festival, and the business can be opened before May [-]st.So I called Lao Tan and told him the news, and asked him to help after the Spring Festival, and followed from the renovation until the opening was on the right track.Of course, it's best to manage all the time.

Old Tan agreed, but he didn't feel comfortable negotiating about salary. He also had to support his family, so he had to earn money. It was okay to help for ten or eight days, but it wouldn't be a problem if it took a few months.

Yanhua and Yanzi also understood this, and it was reasonable to give Lao Tan 5000 yuan a month before opening.Lao Tan said to help open the business, get on the right track, and then find a job. After all, it is impossible to hire a person with 8000 yuan to manage a [-]-square-meter shop, which is a bit wasteful.

Zhou Xiaomei also called Lao Tan, saying that she would bring Wang Gang home for the Spring Festival.This is good news, it means that our Miss Zhou is finally leaving the order.

Zhou Xiaomei said that Mr. Xu meant to ask him to go back, and Wang Gang also wanted him to go back.Let's talk about Lao Tan, he has already agreed to help Yanhua and Yanzi build a restaurant, even if he goes back, he will have to wait until the restaurant opens.

It has already been decided not to work here after the New Year. Lao Tan talked with Hua Qing, Sun Haicheng, Wang Hong, and the cold dish master, and talked about his plans for the New Year.

Wang Hong said that she would stay at home for a month after the new year, and she would go to Yanhua Hotel when it opened, and would not go to other places.

Sun Haicheng and Huaqing planned to go to other places to study after the new year, and wait for the Yanhua Hotel to open.Seeing the two of them go over, the cold dish chef also said to go, so that the main staff of Yanhua Hotel's kitchen will be there.

One more thing, the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month is Lao Tan's mother's birthday.The birthday is very close to the Spring Festival, and it is like this for a restaurant worker. The busier it gets during the Chinese New Year, and he hasn't gone back to celebrate the old man's birthday in the past few years.It just so happens that I'm not busy this year, so I plan to go back to celebrate my mother's birthday.

Lin Yan logistics company is also busy during the Spring Festival, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is on holiday, and they go to work on the third day of junior high school.So Lao Tan arranged this year's Spring Festival in this way. He and his son went back to his hometown to celebrate his mother's birthday, and then the family of three celebrated the New Year in the provincial capital.

On the night of the eighth day of the eighth day, there were not many tables of guests, so I got off work early.

Lao Tan asked Hua Qing to cook a dish and bring it to the dormitory for a few drinks.

There is no entertainment for working here. It is far away from the busy city. This is the only place to eat nearby. If you want to drink, you can only drink it alone in the dormitory.Hua Qing and Sun Haicheng don't like to drink, and lie on the bed after work to read e-books.When Wang Hong was in Binhai, she could drink with Lao Tan, but now she has learned cross-stitching from Tana in the guest room department, and starts embroidering after get off work, forgetting to drink.

Old Tan is a quiet person, always drinking by himself. After drinking half a catty of wine, he reads an e-book for a while, and then goes to sleep.

He spends more time drinking with guests, often drinking too much.Small towns are like this, people who come here are all on the main road, it’s not good if you don’t have a few drinks with you, it’s easy to deal with.You don't necessarily come here to eat because of the good environment. Most of the reasons are because you think the host is nice, open-minded, cheerful, and considerate.

In particular, the leaders of several units who often come here were introduced by Director Wu and Zhang Zhigong. They are all friends and come to eat for Lao Tan's sake.They must accompany them when they come, it's a matter of face.

Lao Tan has been in Ganqika for half a year, and he is good at drinking and eating meat.

This is also doing as the Romans do.

Just after drinking a glass of wine, Wang Hong came in with dumplings.

"I knew you were drinking, and it was hard not to accompany the guests, but to drink by yourself." Wang Hong said and put the dumplings on the table.

"I'm addicted to alcohol. If I don't drink for a day, I feel like I'm almost out of luck." Old Tan laughed.

Wang Hong curled her lips, "I didn't see you drinking less in Binhai, but I said I was too greedy, and no one laughed at you."

"Drink something." Old Tan said.

"Drink with you, don't you go home tomorrow, and stay with you." Wang Hong said.

Lao Tan's itinerary was arranged in this way. He went to the provincial capital on the ninth day, returned to his hometown with his son on the tenth day, returned to his mother's birthday on the thirteenth day, and went to the hotel on the fourteenth day.

Before drinking, Wang Hong took out two shares of money from her pocket and said to Lao Tan: "This 1000 yuan is from Sister Yuan to celebrate your mother's birthday, and I asked me to give it to you. The [-] yuan is mine, just a little heart."

Old Tan hurriedly said: "It's okay, you don't need it."

"The one for the old lady is not for you. A little thought. It's too far away. If it's too close, Sister Yuan wants to drive. This shows that you old Tan is a man. If it doesn't work, let's just pretend we don't know." Wang Hong said.

Lao Tan was very embarrassed, Hua Qing and Sun Haicheng each gave him five hundred during the day.I thought it was all human favors, so I will slowly make up for it in the future.

While drinking, Wang Hong said: "I can see the new house when I go back this time, so be excited."

"Excited, the house is still in the second place, and I mainly think about my son." Old Tan said.

Wang Hong smiled and said, "I think you want a wife."

Old Tan smiled, noncommittal.

"I'm happy for you when you bought a house. Why do you have a place to live? What do people earn in this life? Just for a house, a nest, and then start earning for your children and sending the old away, isn't it all like this? .” Wang Hong said.

"That's the thing, half of my life has passed, and when I think about it, I haven't lived for myself."

"You can do it, you have a family and a job, and you have a career. As for me, I take care of a child alone. The child left with his uncle. I don't have to worry about it in the future. I have to worry about it. I can move around and earn more in the past few years. A little, save a little, and when he gets married, he won't get much, and that's all a mother can do."

What Wang Hong said was the truth, but a little sad.

She is seven years older than Lao Tan, at 44, but she is beautiful, tall, and looks like 36 or [-]. If she doesn't say that, no one will think she is over forty.

Extroverted and pungent, Gan Qika has been doing well until now, and has never lost his temper. When he was in Binhai, he was a king and a flower, and no one dared to provoke him.

Maybe it was the reason why the child joined the army and left, thinking about the child.

"Sister, you should find another one. It's just over forty, so it's the right time." Old Tan said.

"I want to find one, do you want it?" After speaking, he gave Lao Tan a look, and continued: "Everyone wants to find one, but if it is suitable, why not look for it? It's better to live by yourself. By the way, you Do you want to play QQ?" She suddenly asked.

Lao Tan smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't even have a QQ account."

"You are so outdated, I have everything, so I can talk about QQ when I have nothing to do." Wang Hong said.

"I'll apply for one someday."

"Talk about the QQ line, no one knows anyone, just chat casually."

"Is there no netizen who wants to meet you?" Old Tan joked.

"Yes, quite a few." Wang Hong said with a smile, "That's not trustworthy at the top, they are all idle, who is really looking for it?"

Old Tan is outdated. He knows QQ, but he doesn't have a QQ account and doesn't chat. The world of the Internet is strange to him.Seeing Wang Hong playing, I thought that I should also be a whole, so as not to deviate from the times.

Wang Hong told him a story she read online: the Wenchuan earthquake caused many people who lost their partners.Among them was a woman who lost her husband and children and was alone.I met a man on the Internet, and the two chatted for a while, developing mutual affection, and finally made an appointment to meet in the city where the man lived.

The woman is beautiful, the man is chic, and they live together on the day they meet.

Of course women have to bring money, and a lot of it.After three days of sweet happiness between the two, the man disappeared, and the money that the woman brought also disappeared.What's annoying is that the woman woke up in a prostitution place, and only then did she realize that she had been cheated.

Fortunately, the prostitution den was taken away by the police the next day, and the woman was rescued.

"Where's the man? Has he been arrested?" Old Tan asked.

"I didn't say it, I just saw this, and I didn't continue to write." Wang Hong said.

"Are you talking about novels?" Old Tan asked.

"What novel? It's that girl, we are good friends."

"Friend?"

Wang Hong smiled and said: "You don't know anything. I told you that if you log on to QQ, you can search for friends according to the conditions, and then add friends. If people agree, they will add you, and you two will become friends. I That’s how her friend was added, and her online name is attractive, ‘a woman who was hurt by love’.”

Old Tan understood what was going on, he cared less about the story, and became interested in QQ.

"It's also fun to chat online."

"It's interesting, you'll know it when you talk about it. But don't talk nonsense, and you can't tell the truth about everything. There are not many people who tell the truth on the Internet." Wang Hong said.

"You have to apply for a QQ account, and we can talk too." Old Tan said.

The two chatted while drinking, and before they knew it, a catty of baijiu was gone.

Wang Hong's face was red to the base of her neck, her eyes were lost under the influence of alcohol, her plump breasts heaved up and down, she had a charming smile on her face, and she exuded the unique smell of a mature woman.

She is undoubtedly the most attractive at this time.

Old Tan looked at Wang Hong with color in his eyes, this is a normal reaction of a man, it's not normal if he doesn't color.

Color turns color, although the atmosphere and environment are somewhat ambiguous, but I haven't felt impulsive yet, not to mention that this little wine can't make Lao Tan drunk.He just looked at Wang Hong with the lewd eyes of a man admiring a beautiful woman.It is a lie that there is no wave in the heart, but the wave passed in a flash, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Seeing that the bottle of wine was gone, Wang Hong wanted to drink more, but Lao Tan refused.

When drinkers say they haven’t drunk too much and still look for alcohol, 90.00% of them have drunk too much, even if they haven’t drunk too much, they are on the verge of drinking too much.

Of course Wang Hong didn't do it, she smiled and said it was fine, and she could drink half a glass.Old Tan said that he knew you didn't drink too much, but he stopped drinking today and wanted to wait until he came back from home.

"That's fine. You have to take the car tomorrow. I won't drink today. When you come back, you must drink with me." Wang Hong said drunkenly.

"Okay, definitely."

Wang Hong stood up and was about to go back to the dormitory, and said, "Go back and bring your mother a treat."

"Yes." Old Tan said.

Wang Hong smiled, walked up to Lao Tan, raised her head, gently touched Lao Tan's cheek and said, "Come back early, don't tell my sister to miss you."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, two lumps of hot things slipped from his eyes.
