The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 67 See it all

In the next two days, he inspected relatively large hotels. Lao Tan only followed him for one day. On the third day, he went to the raw material market alone, bought some special local ingredients, and prepared to take them back for research.

On the second day, Fatty Liu's home cooking chef Chef Zhang invited Lao Tan to dinner, and the wait chef from Taste Hall was also there, and he also called his friend over.His friend brought up the matter of asking Lao Tan to introduce a Northeast cook. Lao Tan introduced him to Yang Zhijun, who was working with him in Binhai, and the two finalized the matter on the phone on the spot.

Yanhua and Yanzi also participated, and everyone got to know each other and made friends.

Yanhua admired Lao Tan very much, and within two days of coming to Wuhan, he became brothers with the head chef.Old Tan said that a chef can make friends wherever he goes, friends are all over the world, and he mainly relies on friends for food.

In fact, this has something to do with Lao Tan's personality. He likes to make friends. As long as he can talk to people, he can find a common language within 3 minutes.

The closing banquet on the third night was held on a sunny day, and there was a sharing session in the middle. When the representatives of the inspection team were sharing, Mr. Wu, who led the team, asked Lao Tan to go up to share. It rang, so I had to go up.

"Thank you for the hospitality of the catering colleagues in Wuhan for the three days! We Wuhan people are so enthusiastic, like hot and dry noodles, it is difficult to be warm, but it is so lingering that we don't want to leave."

The people below laughed, and someone shouted: "Then you stay."

"Thanks to Dongfang Cuisine for creating this platform, which has given catering professionals across the country the opportunity to study and learn from each other, have good exchanges, and promote the development of the catering industry. I believe that all colleagues here have feelings. Although three days are short, but The harvest is full. I have learned the valuable experience of colleagues in Wuhan and made many friends at the same time.

This kind of investigation and study is very good. All of you here are successful people in the catering industry. After starting a business, using this method to recharge yourself not only broadens your horizons, but also broadens your thinking, and adds motivation for the development of the company.

Our study has three advantages. The first is to acquire knowledge, enrich the mind, and go back to develop ideas to do business; the second is to make friends and integrate resources, and the motherland is full of relatives; Take favors. "

"Boom—" There was laughter below.

"Finally, I would like to thank all the staff of Yanyangtian Hotel for allowing us to taste the exquisite dishes and enjoy the warm service. Thank you everyone. Please remember me, Bald Old Tan, from the city of Northeast Province. Welcome to visit the provincial capital , when you arrive, call Lao Tan, and he will treat you with great hospitality!"

The short speeches are also superb.

The three of them went out to study and study, and they were normal together at home, and nothing happened.

Li Shuang managed a [-]-square-meter store in Binhai, and now managing a [-]-square-meter store is very easy for her.Cheerful and optimistic by nature, she smiles all day long, whether she is a waiter or a kitchen worker, they all affectionately call her "Sister Shuang".

Sister Shuang's son is four years old. Since her husband ran away due to money owed to an underground casino, he has never seen his father. Sometimes he occasionally asks Li Shuang where his father is. Our Sister Shuang is also sad and weeps.

Fortunately, the prodigal man came back from Russia at the end of the year, and the family of three were separated for three full years, and finally they were able to reunite.

Li Shuang's husband, surnamed Gao, is a cook and cooks very well.After having a child with Li Shuang, I felt that I didn't have enough money to spend. In order to give my child a better future, I went to an underground casino by mistake and lost 200,000 before and after, all of which were usury loans.The result can be imagined, if you don't make it, you have to break your arms and legs, so you run away.

He ran away, and the loan shark asked Li Shuang for a debt, but Li Shuang had no choice but to sell the house.

Li Shuang hated this man to the core. What she hated was not that he went to gamble behind his back, but that he left his wife and children irresponsibly after the accident and ran away. Such an irresponsible man made her distraught and divorced directly.

Fortunately, Comrade Xiao Gao repented and rehabilitated. He changed his past in Russia and worked hard to earn money. He remitted [-] yuan to Li Shuang every month, and begged Li Shuang to give him a chance. mistake.

As the saying goes, a couple of one day is a hundred days of kindness, and a couple of a hundred days is like the depths of the sea.Although Li Shuang didn't make a statement, but she hasn't found a man in the past three years and has raised the child alone. Needless to say, she knows that she is waiting for the child's father to come back.

After three years, I finally have something to look forward to. In three months, that damned man will be back. Sister Shuang is also secretly happy.

Huaqing came out of the kitchen with the staff score sheet in hand, found Li Shuang and said, "Miss Shuang, there are three staff in the kitchen who have scored 200 points this month, should they be rewarded with [-] yuan?"

"Must, there are four of us at the front desk." Li Shuang said.

"Wait until the master comes back?" Hua Qing asked.

"Well, I'll be back tomorrow." After Li Shuang finished speaking, he looked around and said in a low voice, "Old Feng came here yesterday, and I feel a little unhappy, maybe it's because Sister Yan went out to investigate."

"Is the inspection abnormal? Why is he unhappy?" Hua Qing asked puzzled.

"You are stupid, didn't you go with the master?" Li Shuang said.

Hua Qing came to his senses and said, "Hey, narrow-minded, didn't Sister Hua go too, what else can happen, such a big old man is too small-minded."

"I'm just telling you that it's just a feeling. Maybe it's not the case. Don't talk nonsense, you know?" Li Shuang asked.

"I know, by the way, I found that you are in a good mood recently, what's the happy event?" Hua Qing asked.

"Happy you big-headed ghost, do you know, Sister Shuang, I sold twenty pots of apricot blossom wine and got twenty commissions!"

"As a manager, you are robbing the waiter for business, so you are ashamed to say so."

"Get out, I sell the least. The waiters sell more than [-] pots. You know what a fart. Stay away from me. I'm annoying to see you."

After finishing one fight each day, the two returned to their respective posts and started a busy day.

Today is Monday, not too busy, the lunch table is full, and there is no overturning.After Wang Hong finished her work, she checked whether there were enough dumpling fillings in the freezer. Now her department is strong and strong, with three dumpling workers, one who specializes in dumpling cooking, plus her five people, as many as the cooking staff.Dumplings sell for 3000 yuan a day, which is the most profitable stall.

Hua Qing came to the pastry room and asked Wang Hong: "Sister Wang, do you want to drink tonight?"

"Who is it?" Wang Hong asked, closing the freezer door casually.

"You, me, Lao Fang, and Sister Shuang." Hua Qing said.

"Is Haicheng going?" Wang Hong asked.

Hua Qing said: "He won't go, the child has a fever, he will go back to see the child."

"Oh, okay, which one?"

"Fat Wazi Hot Pot."

After Hua Qing finished speaking and left, Wang Hong stood there in a daze for a while, not because she was dazzled by the hot pot dinner at night, but because Hua Qing said that there was Lao Fang.She felt that Fang Jianjun treated her a little strangely recently, as if——he cared about her very much.

This is a woman's intuition, and women's intuition is often very accurate.

Wang Hong didn't dislike Fang Jianjun in his heart, but he didn't think about it.But now this man's enthusiasm and concern for himself, as well as the way he looks at him, undoubtedly likes him and wants to make friends with him.

This had to make her think more.

Fang Jianjun is a nice guy, honest, not talkative, nice to people, and warm-hearted.There is a daughter who studies in her hometown and is taken care of by her grandparents.Seeing that this person is fine, and he can accept his daughter, it's just --- a bit too honest, honest and a bit dull, not to mention that he can't kick a fart, it's about the same.

Wang Hong thought to herself, and couldn't help laughing, saying that she was good enough, and the two of them would have to fight all day long to find another good one, and it would be okay to find an honest one, complementing each other.It's just that Fang Jianjun has been treated as an ordinary friend, and I don't feel it at all. The thought of this is a bit sudden, even unbelievable.

My son is in the army now, and his uncle is taking care of him, so don't worry, knowing that Yanlu won't come back, he has to develop in the army.

I am left alone, if I really meet someone I like, I will find one, and I will spend the rest of my life better.It's just that Fang Jianjun is a bit unsatisfactory, and he doesn't quite like it.Forget it, I don’t want to think about it, I want to do whatever I want, people didn’t say they like me to my face, I want to be friends with me, what are I thinking about here, if he really said it, he would think about it, it’s not bad to find someone honest, at least obedient.

At this time, the new dumpling worker asked her how much noodles to order in the afternoon, and she thought about it and said twenty catties.The little girl didn't leave after asking, she seemed to have something else to do.

"Master, do we still need dumpling workers here?" the little girl asked.

"No more." Wang Hong said, and asked casually, "Why, is someone coming?"

The little girl said with a look of disappointment on her face: "I have a classmate who wants to learn, and he wants to come to our house, and he doesn't need to pay any salary."

Wang Hong really likes this little girl named Meng Meng. Now there are fewer little girls learning pastry, and they eat ready-made ones at home. Who likes to work in the kitchen?I don't think it's too late in the kitchen. I usually work as a waiter, and I go to hair salons, karaoke halls, and real estate agencies to work, brisk and at ease.

Meng Meng came here last month, and had ordered my younger brother face to face in other restaurants before.The little girl is smart, and she can operate proficiently within a few days after she came here, and she has a sweet mouth, and she has always been called Master Wang Hong.

"I can't make up my mind about this. I'll tell Lao Tan when he comes back. It's probably fine if he doesn't need a salary." Wang Hong said to Meng Meng.

"Thank you master."

When the little girl went back to make dough, Wang Hong told her to be careful when using the dough mixer and not to open the protective net.

After get off work in the evening, Wang Hong, Hua Qing, Fang Jianjun and Li Shuang arrived at Fat Wazi.It was just getting cold, and there were many people eating hot pot. There were still more than ten tables of guests at this time.

Li Shuang said, "His business is good."

Hua Qing said: "It's good at night, and there are not many people at noon."

"Who said that there are quite a lot of people at noon, and it was full when I passed by." Li Shuang gave Hua Qing a white look.

"With that look in your eyes, hum, it's time to go to He's ophthalmology clinic." Hua Qing yelled at Li Shuang.

Li Shuang immediately stretched out the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and found the exact location.

Hua Qing grinned.

Wang Hong and Fang Jianjun laughed.

After the hot pot was served, the four of them chatted casually while drinking and shabu-shabu.Of course, only Wang Hong, Hua Qing, and Li Shuang said that Fang Jianjun seldom spoke and was a loyal listener.

When the wine was half drunk, Li Shuang smiled at Fang Jianjun and said, "Old Fang, why don't you talk, don't just listen, just say a few words."

Fang Jianjun blushed a little and said, "I don't know what to say, just listen to what you say."

"You don't have anything to say?" Li Shuang asked meaningfully.

Everyone can see that Fang Jianjun has that meaning for Wang Hong. This matter cannot be hidden from others. Although the person concerned feels that it is impossible for others to know, it is easy for others to tell who likes who. Maybe it is because beauty is in the eye of a beholder. If you don't feel it, the bystander will know.

Li Shuang and Hua Qing had talked about Wang Hong and Fang Jianjun in private. Hua Qing thought they were a good match, but Li Shuang felt that Fang Jianjun was not good enough for Wang Hong. According to Wang Hong's conditions, he should find someone decent.Of course, this was the conclusion she made on the premise that Wang Hong liked Lao Tan. She thought that although Wang Hong couldn't be with Lao Tan, she had to find someone who was similar to Lao Tan.

This was just her wishful thinking, no one took it into consideration, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Everyone understood what she meant when she asked Fang Jianjun.

Fang Jianjun's face turned even redder, but Wang Hong thought that everyone might have noticed this.
