The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 542 The wine is a bit bitter
People are afraid of dissecting themselves, and dissecting themselves is a difficult and painful thing.

The name is my own, but it is always called by others.

Is it good-looking or not? I have to say that good-looking is good-looking.

We always pick on others with scrutiny eyes, and comment on others' good and bad, right and wrong, but we just pass by ourselves.

When one day you look at yourself from the perspective of others and conduct an in-depth analysis of yourself, you will find that you are not as good as others, and you have made many mistakes, and some of them have committed heinous crimes.

People need to reflect.Lenin said that when a person starts to reflect, he will enter a great starting point.

Lao Tan said that he was hypocritical, Zhang Li didn't say anything, and after a while he asked Lao Tan what was going on with Yaru, whether he had been with Lao Huang without registration or certificate like her, or just stretched his head and waited. After a while.

Lao Tan told Zhang Li what he and Yaru thought, and Zhang Li said after hearing it: "I don't think you two will be together in the end. It takes three and a half years to go to college.

At that time, Yaru's son should start a family and start a business. Can she wait for you until then?In addition, after hearing what she said, I didn't mean to look for it again, and wanted to live alone.

In fact, you too, have been tormented by an unfortunate marriage for half your life, how can you find it so quickly after finally leaving, I guess you are all shadowed now. "

Old Tan smiled and said, "You are about to become a psychiatrist."

Before the new year, I could only find big restaurants to eat, and almost all the small restaurants were closed, and they all went home to celebrate the new year.

Lao Tan decided on the Northeast Courtyard, which is very close to the Chishan Road store. The Northeast Courtyard is almost a replica of the Guandong family, but the area is smaller.When he was renovating his house, he approached Lao Tan and wanted to hire him as the head chef.At that time, Lao Tan was preparing to build a Chishan Road store, but he did not agree.

His family's business is very good, and he has the potential to surpass the Kanto family.

Brother Liu and Brother Li were already waiting in the private room when Lao Tan and Zhang Li came in, and they started serving food when they arrived.

There are four dishes in total, which are old-fashioned pot-packed meat, Northeast pig-killing dishes, steamed pig's blood, and Northeast big skin.The taste of the dishes is good, very authentic, and the servings are huge, four dishes can't be eaten by four people.

The wine is low-boiled, although it is not as full-bodied as Ah Qiao's, but it is not bad.

Zhang Li, Brother Liu, and Brother Li are also old friends, and they have nothing to say to each other.

Brother Li said to Zhang Li: "Seeing that your old Huang is gone, isn't he going to the funeral? I'm going too. I didn't go to the restaurant for dinner. I just came here after I came back from the crematorium."

"Oh, why did you go?" Zhang Li asked, meaning that Brother Li's age should have nothing to do with the deceased old man.

"That's my colleague's father." Li Ge said.

"Oh, it's not right, I wonder why you went." Zhang Li was stunned.

There is a pot of wine in front of each person, and each person fills it up.

Old Tan raised the first cup, and the four of them drank it together.

Brother Liu loves to eat steamed pig's blood, Lao Tan put the steamed pig's blood in front of him.

Brother Liu said: "The steamed pig's blood in his family is delicious, better than those in the Kanto region."

Lao Tan said: "His family's miscellaneous master is from the Kanto family. Can the steamed ones be good?"

Zhang Li asked: "You mean Master Zhang?"

Old Tan nodded and said, "I got a salary increase of 1000 yuan, and I got three younger brothers. Can you not come? Money can turn ghosts around, and there are countless people."

Brother Li put a piece of blood sausage in his mouth into his mouth and said, "People in the Kanto region can't handle the Northeast Courtyard now. Vegetable soup has no taste of diapers at all, and it's not discounted. The beer is dry beer and light. , or Qingdao Chunsheng, Laoxue doesn’t have any at all, and if he wants to drink, he will go out and buy it by himself, no one likes to go.”

Brother Liu said: "My brother still has to manage it, and it will be impossible once my brother leaves."

Zhang Li said: "Then what are you talking about, who is Lao Tan?" Then she glanced at Lao Tan and asked narrowly, "Really?"

Old Tan laughed at himself and said, "I don't have that much ability." Then he continued: "It's normal for people in the Guandong to go downhill. When I left, I followed some people, like Zhongqing and Huaqing brothers. Mainstay.

When you, Li Shuang, and Zhou Xiaomei left, some people followed, and they were also mainstays. What is left after the high-level and mainstays are gone?
In addition, Boss Xu is stingy, smart but narrow-minded, too good at calculations, and he calculates himself, so it's no wonder it doesn't slip. "

"What you said is right, the main reason is that Boss Xu is too shrewd, a little too shrewd." Zhang Li took a sip of wine and continued: "The most correct thing he did was to invite you back for the second time; One thing that is wrong is not using you when you are sick.

He thinks it's okay, since the business is up anyway, it's the same without you.It just so happened that you were still vomiting blood, so it was uncertain whether it would be better or not, so someone came to take advantage of your illness to kill you, and it was so bad.

He thought you wouldn't take anyone with you when you left, and you really didn't take anyone with you.But if you don't bring it, it doesn't mean they won't leave.The main reason for saying a thousand things and ten thousand things is that he doesn't pay attention to what he does, which makes people afraid to follow him.

After you left, first I, then Li Shuang, then Zhongqing Huaqing, followed by a large number of middle-level managers and employees, all left.For example, the foreman on the second floor is now the manager of the Suzhou Central Kitchen store. He would rather work as a waiter at the Chishan Road store than a foreman at his house. This shows the problem. "

Lao Tan said: "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. No matter how you say, the Kanto family is an old shop in Santaizi, and it has a solid foundation. It doesn't mean that it can't be done. Now his family can sell about [-] a day. If you don't lose money, you just make money." less.

In addition, there are constant banquets on Saturdays and Sundays, and most of the wedding banquets go to his house, which is still possible. "

Brother Li said: "His family's wedding package now is not as good as the Northeast Courtyard. It only occupies a place with a large venue and a wedding hall. The wedding hall is neatly arranged, and the lighting and sound screens smash people, otherwise it will not work."

Brother Liu said: "Marriage now pays attention to ostentation, and it doesn't matter whether you eat or not. Do you think there are still a few who are rushing to eat? Unlike the past, people have no oil in their stomachs, and they eat hard to die when they catch up with the ceremony." Drink, one meal is worth several meals.

I remember that I got married at home. I lived in a bungalow at that time, and I started preparing for it in the first few days.On the day of the day, the table starts at ten o'clock, and the whole family eats alone with the gift, and adults and children join the battle.

At that time, I was afraid that the preparation would not be enough to eat, so I always added more dishes.

Hey, it was really difficult at that time. The gifts were three yuan and two yuan, and the largest gift was ten yuan.Some don't take money at all, but take a thermos, standing mirror, pillow towel, washbasin, quilt and so on—"

Brother Li continued what Brother Liu said: "It will be better when I get married. The gifts are basically fifty, a good one hundred, and two hundred are rare. It must be a close relative, a sister, or a relative." Brother or something.

But it is also eaten by one person with the whole family, and the children and adults will join the battle. "

Lao Tan also wanted to talk about his wedding scene, but he didn't open his mouth when Zhang Li was present, but the wedding scene emerged before his eyes.

It is said that the smoothness of the wedding day and the events that happen determine whether the couple can live a lifetime.On the day of Old Tan's wedding, Lin Yan was so angry that he tore up the big red happy words on the window. He didn't know it at the time, but it was only later that Lin Yan leaked his words.

He thought that the divorce with Lin Yan might have been doomed a long time ago, maybe on the day of the wedding.

Zhang Li didn't go on the day Lao Tan got married from his hometown and returned to the provincial capital for a treat. She came three days later.She was drunk that day, and when Lao Tan sent her home, she pointed to her heart and said, "Old Tan, I hurt, I hurt—"

"Hey! What are you thinking? Drinking."

Zhang Li called Lao Tan out of his absent-minded state. Lao Tan smiled embarrassedly, picked up the wine glass and touched the three of them one by one, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The wine is a bit bitter.
