The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 570 Old Tan Comes to Suzhou

Lao Tan came to Suzhou at the end of October. This time he came to settle the matter between Gu Yi and Sun Yucong about the lease of the Humble Administrator's Garden store.

Sun Yucong's stock business has failed in investment in the past two consecutive years and suffered heavy losses. Now he only has the real estate on the restaurant street in Humble Administrator's Garden and the storefront in Hohhot Antique City.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the two properties are worth tens of millions, which should not be underestimated.

But having said that, rich people like him who rose rapidly in that era were not clean, and more or less had troubles. No one looked for them in the past, but it doesn't mean that no one is looking for them now.

What's the situation now?As long as the past was unclean, now pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

The same is true for Sun Yucong.

In order to get rid of the disaster, he can only give up part of his property, which is the most sensible choice.

Since Lao Tan was present as Party B when the house lease contract was signed, and it was a ten-year contract, now Sun Yucong has sold the restaurant street as a whole, which is a midway contract change, and Lao Tan needs to be present to sign.

The one who has the ability to buy this restaurant street is none other than Qiao Gang.

After all the things to be done, the signatures to be signed, and the procedures to be followed were all completed, Qiao just hosted a treat. Sun Yucong did not participate because he was in a hurry to do other things, and he probably was not in the mood to participate.

He didn't care about these old Tans, let alone it wasn't his concern.What he cared about was the woman sitting next to Qiao Gang - Sister Tang of Qingdao, Sister Zhao's cousin.

It's a good story that Qiao Gang and Sister Tang got together.

This story had to start when Lao Tan sent Qiao Gang to Daqingshan to repair last year.

Sister Tang happened to be there when Qiao first arrived in Daqingshan, arriving a week earlier than him.The two got acquainted soon, and since they were both businessmen, they naturally had common topics, and they were both friends with Lao Tan, so their relationship was closer than others.

The two have been together for more than four months, and the impression they left on each other is so good that they have kept in touch after they left the mountain.

The time when the relationship developed further was during the Spring Festival last year. Sister Tang was invited by Qiao Gang to visit Suzhou. It's sealed here.

It was an accident to be sealed here, but it was also a match made in heaven arranged by the heavens in the previous life, and the two of them became a matter of course.

There are naturally many details in it, but there is a reason for every good thing-a concubine's love and a happy marriage.

Old Tan sat there watching the two of them and couldn't help laughing that he had done something good unintentionally. He didn't know who would marry whom. How could he reason?You can find a wife even if you go up the mountain to practice, and she is also a smart and wise rich woman.

"Brother Tan, let's have a drink." Qiao Gang raised his glass and said to Old Tan.

"Okay." Old Tan raised his glass.

"Count me in." Sister Tang also raised her wine glass.

After the three of them drank together, Sister Tang smiled and said to Lao Tan: "Brother, your sister Zhao has been talking about you."

"I'll go see her when I have time," Old Tan said.

"Now she has left the business to her daughter and son-in-law, and she is like me all day, very leisurely." Sister Tang said.

"Good."

Sister Tang seemed to have something to say, but she seemed to stop because she felt that the occasion was not right.

Old Tan didn't care either, and turned around to drink with Gu Yi.

Just after drinking with Gu Yi, the boss Zhang of the Hunan Restaurant stood up and raised his glass and said, "Brother Tan, I have been looking forward to your coming. The bosses of the eight restaurants on our street have already said that when you come, you must invite me." You give us a lecture, this time you have to agree to whatever you say."

Just as Lao Tan was about to speak, Gu Yi said first: "That's it. They all think that our family is doing well and want to learn. They want to ask you to teach me. I sent you away before, saying that you are not in good health and can't talk about it." Lesson, I am recovering from illness.

Heh, they are all good buddies, don’t look at what a street is doing but don’t talk about it, it’s not like other people who are in the same business or enemies, even the Sichuan restaurant has learned it now, and it’s no longer giggling.

Brother, don’t you have nothing to do now, tell me if you are fit, just stay in Suzhou for a few more days. "

Old Tan said straightforwardly, "No problem."

He was very happy to see Lao Tan agreeing to Boss Zhang, and raised his glass to respect each other.

At this moment, Qiao Gang said: "Brother Tan, I will provide a place to give lectures. I have a ready-made training room. Brother Tan used to give lectures there. But there is one thing, my management also participated."

Everyone laughed together.

After eating, Lao Tan went back to his room in the courtyard.

After entering the room, he was touched by the scene, and Yaru involuntarily appeared in front of his eyes.In the past, whenever he came to Suzhou Yaru, he would tidy up the room in advance, making it feel like home, and he felt warm when he came in.

Now that Yaju has returned to the provincial capital, although someone cleaned the room, it seemed to be less angry and deserted.

He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, walked to the sofa and sat down, habitually went to get the teapot on the coffee table.

what--

It turned out to be hot, obviously someone had made tea.

Curiously, he searched the room again, but there was no one in the room.I thought who would give it to me?Or——is this house occupied?Doesn't belong to him anymore?
When he was surprised, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhao Min walked in with a smile on his feet.

"Seeing the lights on in the room, I think you must be back." Zhao Min said.

"Well, I just came back, did you make the tea?" Lao Tan was a little stunned.

"En." Zhao Min nodded, then went to the closet and opened the closet door, took out a set of pajamas from inside and put it on the armrest of the sofa, and said, "Manager Shangguan said that you are here today. Have your clothes washed too.

When I came back from get off work in the afternoon, I cleaned up the house again. Just now the chef called to say that you left after dinner, so I made tea. "

"Thank you, you have worked hard." Old Tan said, his heart was touched.

"It's not hard, I did it for my master, but it's not as good as her."

Old Tan smiled, understood the meaning of the little girl's words, and said, "You did a good job, your master always praises you."

"Mr. Tan, can my master come back?"

"Well—that's enough, she works in the provincial capital and is close to home, and her son is studying in the provincial capital, so it's easy to take care of——Miss your master?"

"Well, think—"

"She said that she will come back to see you when she has time."

Tears welled up in Zhao Min's eyes, but he nodded without saying a word.

"How are you doing now? Are there any difficulties?" Old Tan asked.

"It's not a problem, it's just that the master is not here. I have a solid foundation in my heart and I can rely on her." Zhao Min said, wiping her eyes with her hands.

Old Tan smiled and said: "Master leads the door to practice by himself. You are now supporting the door alone. Both your master and I are optimistic about you."

"Well, I promise to do well."

"I'm staying here for a while, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."

"Well, I'm fine, everything's fine."

Zhao Min finished speaking and picked up the kettle to refill the teapot when the door was pushed open and Erdun walked in.

Lao Tan stood up and shook hands warmly with Erdun who came up to him.

"Boss, I miss you so much." Erdun said excitedly.

"Don't think about dying, think about it carefully." Old Tan corrected with a smile.

"Hey --- if you don't come, I won't have the energy to do anything, and I don't want to say anything." Erdun said with a smile.

"That's right, I know how to drink every day, and I don't listen to what I say." Zhao Min said, and stared at him.

"If you don't drink every day, don't sue when the boss comes." Erdun said.
