The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 94

While doing basic work, Lao Tan called his neighbors Li Ge, Wang Ming, and the heads of some branches of the aircraft factory, invited them to come over for a meal, told them that he was back, and would continue to come to support him in the future.

These people are big masters, and it is not a problem for them to increase their sales by 50,000 yuan a month.

This is the case with restaurants. It doesn’t matter whether the food is good or not, you have to have loyal customers.Loyal customers eat not only food, but also feelings in the end.Doing business is the same as living a life, you have to deal with people and treat people with sincerity.When the time comes, people can't do anything, and no one will take care of those who are empty-headed.

Lao Tan and these people are real friends. As the saying goes, watering flowers and roots to make friends, as long as you make friends with each other, you will be real friends. You can never have too many friends, the more the better.

Old Tan has nothing to do, he can only ask these people to eat delicious meals, warmly entertain them, and try to do what they can, please have a meal if it is not short, sit together and drink two cups , Contact contact feelings.

These people are willing to socialize with Lao Tan, and are willing to listen to Lao Tan's chatter. Lao Tan's chattering benefits are full of humor, and the humor has a sense of life. This is the reason everyone likes it.

It's a joy to hang out with someone who's always busy.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and after two months of adjustments, the sales volume of the Kanto family reached 700,000.

It was a rainy night, the rain was not heavy, but it was lingering.

Under the illumination of the street lamps, the raindrops slanted and long, and the rainwater on the ground merged into thin streams, flowing slowly.There are not many pedestrians, the speed of the vehicles on the road is very slow, the wiper keeps shaking, scraping off the rain, the rain falls again, and scrapes off again——
Below the Third Ring Bridge is a section of low-lying road nearly [-] meters long. At this time, the water is already half a meter deep. Some large vehicles can barely wade through the water, such as cars and taxis can only look at the water and sigh.

There are impatient drivers who feel that their cars are good, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, they go forward bravely and pass through dangers.Those who feel that their own car is not good enough will take a detour rationally.

Li Wanshan turned around in his Jetta under the bridge, planning to make a detour back to Santaizi.

"Damn it, it takes 10 minutes to get home." He cursed angrily.

Old Feng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said, "Go around, we can't get through."

"It's not raining heavily, it's sticky, it's probably going to last all night."

"more or less."

Just when Li Wanshan turned onto the side road of the expressway, a large truck coming from the exit of the expressway suddenly failed its brakes and slammed into the Jetta on the road full of rain.

Because of the rain, it was still night, and the vision was a little blurry.

Li Wanshan only felt a bright light coming towards him, and vaguely saw a big truck.

Amid Lao Feng's exclamation, Li Wanshan instinctively turned the steering wheel——
Car accidents are inevitable.

The large truck flattened the right side of the Jetta and threw it into the roadside ditch. It ran 30 meters away without losing momentum, and also turned into the ditch——
Is human life strong or fragile?
For the car accident scene at this time, life is fragile and vulnerable.

Lao Feng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, died on the spot, Li Wanshan's left leg was broken, and the truck driver narrowly escaped death, but he was also permanently disabled——
This was a sudden but unpredictable disaster.
-
Old Feng just left.

Yanzi lived with Lao Feng for more than a year, and was very sad about Lao Feng's departure.Although they are not the original couple, they are human beings with feelings after all.

After Lao Feng left for a week, Yanzi experienced the ups and downs of human relations——was politely invited out of the house by Lao Feng's daughter and returned to her original hut with three houses and one kitchen.

Yanhua went to accompany Yanzi after finishing her work at the hotel these days, and stayed there at night, comforting her best friend in her way.

People need companionship at this time.

A true friend is never icing on the cake, but a helping hand.

When faced with pain and difficulties, look back and see who is standing behind, that is a lifelong friend.

Half a month later, Yanzi came back to the hotel and started a normal life.

We don't talk about being strong, we have to live after all.No one wants the people around him to leave, but life is impermanent, those who leave are gone, and those who are alive need to face reality.

Sympathy and comfort are based on feelings and etiquette, and the days need to be lived by themselves.

As long as you are alive, you need to be full of sunshine and hope.

On that rainy night, Zhou Xiaomei gave birth to a big fat boy.

Such is life, where there is death there is birth.As Lao Tzu said, life and death.It is also a normal phenomenon of human reproduction.

We are saddened by the loss of those around us, and even more delighted by the birth of a new life.

Birth and death are normal phenomena. From the day we are born, we cannot escape the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death.

No one wants to die, but no one can live forever.From the kings and generals to the nobles and riches of the merchants, to the common people of the Li people, to the end is a cup of loess.The real meaning of human life is to understand oneself, to extend the length of life when it cannot be extended, and to make life worthwhile.

It may not be possible to reach the realm where descendants can continue to sacrifice, and those who die without dying will live long, but at least make their own existence meaningful, and when they are gone, someone will think about it, and it will be good to keep talking about it for a long time.

After all, there are few heroes and great men in the world, and most of them are ordinary people.We are all ordinary people, living an ordinary life, and being able to live this ordinary life with gusto and no regrets is a win.

Don't expect too much, there is no end to desire.We can't stand life and death, and we can't break the world of mortals. The only way to be a living person is to make ourselves and the people around us happy is the greatest success.

At the beginning of September, Lao Tan went directly to the dumpling restaurant after returning from Gan Qika.

Everything in Gan Qika is normal, the hotel business is around [-], and the guest rooms are around [-].This is the best business, the group leaders did not expect to achieve this effect, very satisfied.

Meng Meng didn't want to work there when she went there, and now she doesn't want to come back when she is asked to come back.It's so nice and comfortable there, without those things for a day, and being able to be with my dear Xiaolong, this is the most important thing.

Lao Tan stared at the entire dinner at the dumpling restaurant. The food was served quickly, with good quality and good service.Li Shuang and Hua Qing had formed a routine, everything was orderly, busy but not chaotic.

There are many customers today, and it can be sold for 10,000 yuan.

Such a business is enviable.

After finishing the meal, Yanhua is going to ask Huaqing to cook two dishes, and have a drink with Lao Tan.Lao Tan said that there is no room in the store, so he went out to eat skewers.So Yanhua, Yanzi, and Lao Tan came to a barbecue restaurant in the big market.

The three ordered meat skewers and wine, and chatted while eating skewers.

"Is your child in school?" Yanhua asked Old Tan.

"Go to school, Taishan Primary School." Old Tan replied.

"Who will pick him up?" Yanhua asked.

"No pick-up, take the school bus." Old Tan said.

"Your children must study well."

"I can't see it now, and I can't counsel. I can talk to each other every morning, and sometimes I can't even talk. He leaves early, and I'm still asleep."

When mentioning the child, Lao Tan felt gratified and at the same time a little guilty, but he was happy in his heart, and his son was his pride.

"Aren't you going to get up in the morning to cook for him?" Swallow asked.

"He gets up with his mother. His mother goes to work and he goes to school. The two of them are almost eating milk and bread, and then they go downstairs to have breakfast. There is no need to make it. In the evening, he will leave school first, go home to do his homework, and wait for his mother to come back. Cook, mother Let's eat together." Old Tan said.

"That's right, you don't have time either." Swallow sighed.

"Not everyone in this business is like this. They don't have time to take care of children." Old Tan said helplessly.

The three of them didn't have any main topics, so they chatted casually.

Yanhua was thinking about opening a branch, thinking that Lao Feng had just left for a month, and Yanzi would be in a better mood, so she didn't mention it because it was too early to chat.

She feels in her heart that the conditions are ripe now and she can open a branch.Know that swallows have no money.Although the hotel earns [-] yuan a month, each person can share [-] yuan, but since the distribution started in April, and now five months, each person has more than [-] yuan.

The money to open a branch is not a problem, she can take it if Yanzi is not enough, the main reason is that she doesn't know if Yanzi still has the intention to open it now.The dumpling restaurant is jointly opened by two people, and both of them need to agree to open a branch.

She wanted to wait a few days until Yanzi was in a better mood before talking, and if she agreed, she would sign an agreement and be more formal.

After the three of them licked the skewers, this place was close to Yanhua's house, so she went back directly.Yanzi's house is 10 minutes away from here, in the same direction as Lao Tan's house, and the two followed each other to go home.

"Old Tan, do you think it's okay for the dumpling restaurant to open a branch now?" Yanzi asked.

"Okay, why not." Old Tan said.

After receiving Lao Tan's affirmation, Yanzi thought for a while and said: "Old Feng left me nothing when he left. Now I just earn the little money from the restaurant, which is 200,000 yuan. The area where I live will be relocated immediately. The compensation, there is [-], but I don’t know when to move—”

"I heard that I moved years ago." Old Tan said.

"It was okay before, and I had some money in my hand. Hey, I always wanted to open a branch, but it was because of Lao Feng before, and now --- I can't ask Yanhua to take more money. If I want to open it, I have to find a place. I don’t have any money in my hand, so I’m embarrassed to mention it—additionally, it’s very uncomfortable for Lao Feng——” Yanzi said.

Lao Tan said: "It's nothing, I think it's the right time to open now. The dumpling restaurant is stable, so you and Yanhua don't need to take care of it. In your current situation, others are just comforting and comforting, and they can't replace it. If there is something to do It's pretty good, I've been busy all day, and the time flies, so I don't have to think about those useless things."

Yanzi didn't make a sound, and walked forward slowly, summing up what Old Tan said in his mind.

Yes, it's useless to think about it, it's the name.Still thinking about spending two more years with Lao Feng, who would want to--
I still have to live, no matter how I have a business, I can support myself.

You have to do something, it can’t always be like this, it’s interesting to do something.

Chatting with Yanhua tomorrow.
