The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 71 Almost Got Corrupted

In the previous life, he beat his father and scolded his mother, but in this life he was assigned to the kitchen.

The chef is not a hooligan, and the restaurant does not last long.

The chef is not lecherous, and the restaurant has no characteristics.

The guy who chops vegetables is Han from the water table, and the girl at the front desk is the prettiest.

These jingles about hotel workers sound humorous and catchy, and anyone who works in a restaurant can say a few words.

And some others said so.

On the stove, the chef is busy, and it's hard to find a good girl.

If you have any patience, don't enter the kitchen.

Get up earlier than chickens, eat worse than pigs, and work harder than cows.

Busy during Chinese New Year, misses parents, chef tears.

Walk towards the sun and return under the moonlight.

When I got home my wife slept and woke up with an empty bed.

This is indeed the case with restaurant work. Chairman Liu of Daronghe once said: restaurants are not jobs done by people.One sentence expresses the sadness of the catering people.

On Sunday, Lao Tan was woken up by his son and asked him to steam chicken cakes.Today Lin Yan worked overtime to check the warehouse and asked him to take the children to work, otherwise no one would take care of them.

After Lao Tan got up, he steamed chicken cakes for his son. After eating, he checked that it was nine o'clock, dressed his son, went downstairs and took a taxi to the dumpling restaurant.

Lin Yan brought her son here once, and everyone has an impression of him, and they all like this little guy.

Li Shuang asked: "Jiaheng, have you eaten breakfast?"

"I ate it, Dad's steamed egg cake." Jiaheng replied crisply.

"Are you full?"

"I am full."

"Let's be a waiter with Auntie today."

"Okay, I just can't serve food."

The waiter next to him laughed.

The guests came early on Sunday, and they arrived at eleven o'clock when the family gathering was booked in advance.Three or four tables came to eat dumplings in the lobby. They were all nearby residents and regular customers. There was one table for an old couple who came every other day or two. They ordered two plates of dumplings and left after eating.

The old couple are over [-] years old and live in the back community, while the son lives in the city and comes to visit once a month.The old couple usually come here when they eat dumplings, and it takes a lot of effort to make them at home, kneading noodles and chopping stuffing.

After the old couple finished eating, they bought the bill, opened the door and went out.Just 2 minutes later, Jia Heng ran in from the outside, and said to Lao Tan with a panicked face: "Dad, grandpa fell down."

Old Tan was startled and asked, "Which grandpa fell down?"

"It's the grandfather who ate dumplings at that table just now." Jia Heng pointed to the table where the old couple ate dumplings.

Old Tan knew who his son was talking about, so he immediately opened the door and went out, Li Shuang also followed.

When I came out, I saw several people surrounded the hot pot restaurant. The old man was sitting on the ground, and the old lady was turning around in a hurry.

Lao Tan walked over and saw the old man holding his left arm with his right hand, with a painful expression on his face.

"Master, did you break your arm?" Old Tan knelt down and asked.

The old man moaned and said, "Oh, I fell."

"Can you move?" Old Tan asked.

"Don't dare to move, it hurts—" the old man bared his teeth.

Probably broke his arm.It's already December, and it's winter, and it's not easy to fall at such an age, and it's icy, and the young people can't stand it even if they fall.

Old Tan asked the anxious old lady: "Mother, did you call your son?"

Only then did the old lady remember to call her son.

Lao Tan said to Li Shuang, "Hail a taxi, and I have to be sent to the hospital."

Li Shuang hurried to hail a taxi.

Old Tan said to the old man, "Master, sit still and I'll take you to the hospital."

The old man said thank you gratefully.

Li Shuang quickly stopped a taxi, and Lao Tan helped the old man into the car. Lao Tan asked Li Shuang to take his son to the store. He and the old lady got in the car and went to No. [-] Hospital.

When I went to the hospital for registration and examination, I did break my arm and needed bone setting, fixation, plastering, and hospitalization.The old couple's son hadn't arrived yet, and Lao Tan helped with the hospitalization procedures.Fortunately, the son of the old couple arrived when the hospitalization fee was paid.

This son is quite good, about 50 years old, tall and thin, with a gloomy face, he came and grabbed Lao Tan without saying a word, and said: "You have to take care of hitting the old man like this."

Old Tan was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The old man fell by himself, and I sent him to the hospital. You can talk after you understand."

"It wasn't you who hit it, can you be sent to the hospital? Can the old man fall down by himself?" The old man's son was obviously unreasonable.

At this time, the old lady was taking care of the old man and was not in front of him. It is estimated that the old lady didn't make it clear when she called her son.

Old Tan got angry and said to the old man's son: "Ask your mother what's going on, and then talk when you understand it. I'm stupid. Why do you want to rely on me to send your father to the hospital with good intentions?"

"Ask why my mother, you hit me." The old man and son were a little confused.

During the conversation, the old man and his son kept pulling Lao Tan and did not let go.

Everyone will be angry about this matter, it is obviously a good deed, not only did they not hear the words of thanks, but they were also misunderstood, or relied on, and it is false to be in a hurry.

Old Tan shook the old man's son away with all his strength, pinched his neck with his backhand, dragged him to the ward, and said as he walked, "I've never seen you like this. I sent your father to the hospital with good intentions, and let you fuck him." Now, I don't believe that there is no one in your family who understands, so ask your mother."

The two of them attracted a lot of people, including doctors, nurses, and a few patients, who rushed forward to the ward.

After entering the ward, Lao Tan dismissed the old man and his son.The old man was lying on the bed, and the old lady looked at Lao Tan and her son in panic, not knowing what happened.

"Ma'am, did my uncle fall by himself or did I hit him?" Old Tan asked the old lady angrily.

Before the old lady could speak, her son said, "Mom, don't be afraid, he hit you and can't run away, so ask him to pay for it."

The old lady glanced at her son, and said with conscience: "What are you doing wrong? Your father fell down by himself, and he was sent to the hospital. When you come, your father will have died long ago."

"He didn't hit it?" His son obviously didn't believe it.

"I fell on my own, but someone sent me to the hospital and saved me." The old man lying on the bed couldn't bear to see his son like this, and said loudly.

At this time, Lao Tan understood a little bit, not only he understood, but also the onlookers blocking the door understood.

This son knows that his father fell by himself, but can't he spend money on falling?Can't care?He didn't want to spend money, and he didn't want to ask for leave for nursing care, so he wanted to blackmail people.It's not that there are no such incidents, and there are quite a lot of them, so if an old man falls on the street now, there is no one to help him.It's not that I don't, it's that I dare not.

People's hearts are not ancient snakes swallowing elephants, since ancient times conscience is worth a thousand gold.

The words of the old man and the old lady made Lao Tan open his heart, and he was not so grand.But seeing that his son was still not pleasing to the eye, Li Sheng said: "Listen, I didn't hit you. I told you that I didn't want the registration fee, the taxi fee, and the filming fee. I didn't have much money. Now you have to pay for it. Give me less, you know."

"Yes, I must. Why do you want to spend money? Our old couple didn't bring the money when we came out. Besides, I couldn't think about it. I will send it to you when the auntie goes to the bank to withdraw the money. I have to thank you very much." Yes." The old lady said gratefully.

Lao Tan said: "Ma'am, you don't need to give it to me. If you don't want it, I will ask your son to give it." After finishing speaking, he touched his bald head, laughed, and said to his son with a threatening taste: "A total of four hundred 27. Are you going to give it now or send it to my restaurant when the time comes? Does Aqiao Dumpling House know?"

His son's face was ugly, and until now he didn't go to ask his father how his arm was, and he didn't mean to apologize to Lao Tan, let alone a thank you.At first glance, he is an unfilial son.

"Send you to the hotel." His son said in a low voice.

"When? Don't take three or two months." Old Tan asked bluntly.

"Send it tomorrow."

Old Tan smiled, ignored him, stepped forward and asked the old man to take good care of him, said goodbye to the old couple, and then went back to the dumpling restaurant.

Lunch has been finished, the waiter is clearing the countertops, and the kitchen is cleaning.Li Shuang asked Lao Tan why he came back, and Lao Tan told her what happened in the hospital.

Li Shuang smiled and said: "People can give a pennant or something for doing good deeds, but you are good, almost being blackmailed."

"There are still many good people in the world." Old Tan said.

"Would you like to help me next time when we encounter this matter?" Li Shuang asked.

"Help, what's the matter? It's not God anymore."

Old Tan's son came out of the dumpling room, carrying a pack of snacks in his hand, and asked, "Daddy, how is grandpa?"

"Grandpa is fine, he is in the hospital, you did a good deed today, good job." Old Tan praised his son.

The son was still a little embarrassed, and said, "I saw that grandpa was in pain, and grandma was also worried, so I came back to call you."

"Well, who bought you the snacks?" Old Tan asked.

"Auntie bought it. I said no, but Auntie has to buy it." The son said.

"Well, then you can eat, thank you, auntie?"

"Thank you, the three aunts, thank you all."

"You kid has gained a lot today."

"Well, it's okay, two big bags, enough for a week."

Old Tan thought that he would not be able to take his son to work in the future, and he couldn't get rid of his employees by arresting them—can they not sell things to the son in charge?
