The story of a cook

Chapter 46
Life sometimes gives people a lot of inspiration, which is why people grow from immature to mature in the process of continuous success.

If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow.

Having experienced poverty, being ridiculed, stared at and looked down upon, these are nothing, as long as people are alive, they are hope.

Sister Zhang and Brother Sun brought a few friends over for dinner, and the boss went over to have a few drinks with him after cooking.

Factory Manager Wang also came to eat, and halfway through the meal, he wanted to order some pickles. Sun Mei smiled and said that she would make it herself.When I came to the kitchen, I saw that only the fourth child was cooking on the stove, and asked the boss what he was doing?The second child said that a few friends came and went to drink with him.

Sun Mei was very upset, so she asked the cold dish master to make a pickle dish. She went to find Brother Feng, stood in the kitchen and said, "Look, it's time for the Master to cook. Boss Xing went out to drink. Take our family seriously."

Brother Feng looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock, and said to Sun Mei: "It's already eight o'clock, there are no people, and the fourth child can also fry these dishes."

"Is that the case? It's working hours now, what kind of wine do you drink during working hours?" Sun Mei raised her voice.

Seeing that Sun Mei was not forgiving, and still said so in front of everyone, Brother Feng was a little annoyed, and said to Sun Mei in a deep voice, "I let him go, what can I do?"

Seeing that Brother Feng dared to talk back to her, Sun Mei felt that her dignity was being challenged, she looked at it bitterly, and said loudly, "Okay, just get used to it."

It was a coincidence that the boss just came back and heard the words. Although he didn't hear everything, he knew what was going on, and immediately pulled his face down, looking gloomy and scary.

"It's not okay to have a glass of wine with friends when they come!"

Seeing that the boss had lost his temper, Sun Mei didn't show weakness, but she still calmed down and said, "I didn't say no, but if you have to finish the cooking, you can accompany me after you finish your work. No one will say anything."

"What are you doing? I'll listen to you?" The boss didn't take Sun Mei seriously at all.

Sun Mei said loudly, "I'm also the proprietress of the hotel, so I can't speak well?"

"It's not easy! I'm here for Old Feng. He's good at talking, but you can't. I don't see you coming!"

Sun Mei was so angry that she wanted to talk, but was dragged away by Brother Feng.

The boss stood there too angrily.

There is a reason for everything. In the words of the common people, it is called not getting sick because of not borrowing.Although the aircraft factory is not under the administrative division of the provincial and urban management, the land it occupies belongs to the provincial capital, and the area under the jurisdiction of the eldest brother and second brother includes part of the land of the aircraft factory.Factory Manager Wang is in charge of the factory in the factory, and it is inevitable to deal with the eldest brother and the second brother in the work at the local and local levels.

In the first few days at the reception, Director Wang brought Sun Mei to participate, and the eldest and second brother brought Sister Wang.Sun Mei felt that she had quite a temperament, but she never thought that Sister Wang was better than her. Throughout the night, Sister Wang completely crushed Sun Mei in terms of beauty, temperament, conversation, and aura.

Of course, Sun Mei was unwilling to be crushed by others, and wanted to save face. She knew that the eldest brother and sister Wang were close friends, so she wanted to use the eldest brother to open a breakthrough, and use her own charm to attract the eldest brother. Harm to Ms. Wang.Unexpectedly, no matter how hard she tried, the eldest brother and the second brother didn't even look at her directly, making her very depressed.

She thought that the eldest brother was cooking in the hotel, and the eldest brother and the second brother would give her face.What she didn't know was what the boss used to do, and he didn't live on his second brother's face at all. When she said that the boss was working as a chef in her hotel, the second brother didn't care at all, and he didn't care because his brother was a cook. She felt ashamed of being a cook, and on the contrary felt very bored with her.

So I hold a grudge, sometimes a woman's heart really can't hold big things.

After taking Sun Mei away, Brother Feng went back to the kitchen and told the boss not to be angry, women are like that, don't be as knowledgeable as her.The boss looked ugly, but he didn't lose his temper.

In the evening, after get off work, I invited him to drink, and the anger was still lingering while drinking.

"Boss, you're still holding your breath." I asked with a smile.

"Fart, who dares to talk about me when I grow up so old. My sister said that I beat me so much that I dare not go home. If she sees me, she will run away. Don't talk about her." The boss shouted.

"I can't blame your old man for sending you into the army. You really don't stop." I said.

"What are you going to do with the army? No one in the army dares to provoke me, so whoever provokes me will do him the same." He raised his eyes again.

"You also fight the company commander?"

"The company commander can't fight, but he can't beat him."

That's good, he brags about heroic feats, and doesn't hide his own incompetent career, so he should do what he should, and seek truth from facts.

"If it weren't for the fact that I feel comfortable working here, the four of us are quite amicable. Just because of what she said today, my temper would have been fucked away long ago, and I'm still used to her problems? I'm just getting old. , I’m no longer in society, and my temper has changed a lot. If I didn’t fight a crime in the first two years, no one would be used to it.”

The fourth child asked: "Boss, were you really indefinite that time?"

"That's not true." The boss lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and after the smoke slowly dispersed, he said: "At that time, my mother was crying at home every day, scolding my father, saying that my father hurt me. At sixteen, I went to the whole army, went to the front line, and came back alive to have a fortune teller. Let my dad say anything and have to get me out. My dad also knows that the trouble is a bit big, there is no way, my elder brother is dead, You can’t see me going in and out, so you go back and forth looking for people, and it’s just in time for the crackdown, if it weren’t for the crackdown, it would be easier to handle, and finally went to the mayor, and then I was dealt with.”

"After I came out, my father told me, son, this time it is considered to be out. You can figure out what to do in the future. Dad is not capable. I saw that my father said this, so think about it. Stop messing around, do something honestly, this is not cooking again."

"It's good to be a cook, it's better than being a social worker." I said.

"What if it's not good? Those who hang out with me are either dead or staying inside. There are not many good ones, and some of them can't be found now."

"If you come out to play around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later" is a true portrayal of the boss.He is also the second generation of officials. The old man is the old Balu. Before the liberation, he was an underground party.Who would have dreamed of having such a son who would be disobedient since he was a child, and would fight and dominate when he grew up.As a result, he returned to his original form at one time and started a new life.

In a person's life, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, there is nowhere to go.If the boss doesn't hang out in the society and works hard like his second brother, he may not be able to develop into anything now. He may be an official or a businessman. The resources he has are incomparable to others.

After drinking a lot of wine, the boss finally said: "That's it for this time, if there is another time, then fuck off, let's quit together."

"Okay, we will withdraw together when the time comes." The second child said.

"Who will do it after you quit?" said the fourth child.

"Leave together." I said.

A few days later, the second eldest brother and his daughter-in-law came and were also planning to work in the provincial capital. They were introduced by the fourth eldest to work in a restaurant on the northbound line.Immediately afterwards, the big sister who washed the dishes stopped doing things at home, and Brother Feng found a little boy to do the dishes.

The little boy is from the countryside. He is very small, honest and shy. Everyone calls him little brother.When I saw him, I thought of myself. I was exactly like him when I first came to the hotel.Two years have passed, and I can't help but feel a little bit emotional when I changed from a little boy doing dishes and doing odd jobs to a water case.

The younger brother works affordable and is not annoying.When I'm done, I'll go over to help him wash the dishes and chat with him.Through chatting, I know that his family is very difficult and he is a poor child.

There are two children in his family, and he has an older sister. His mother died when he was young, and it was his father who brought them up.The family was in trouble, his sister came out to work after finishing junior high school, and worked as a waiter in a restaurant. He didn't finish junior high school, and worked at home with his father as a farmer for a year, and then his sister brought him out to work as a odd job in a restaurant.The boss thought he was stupid, and the people in the kitchen bullied him. His sister introduced him here through a friend.

No one bullies him here, he is very happy to do it, and sometimes he sings softly while washing the dishes.When he was singing, the boss teased him, "Little brother, what are you singing, speak louder, we will listen too."

"I didn't sing anything, I sang nonsense, I don't sing well." The younger brother whispered, blushing.

"It's okay, I just want to hear you sing, you sing a few lines."

"I really can't sing well."

At this time, the younger brother blushed to the base of his neck.

"Boss, don't tease him, he has a small face, he should cry soon." I said.

"Crying at that age? He doesn't sing, you sing."

"Listen to me, if you listen to me, I will sing now."

"I won, so go ahead and do whatever you want, I don't listen to your song even when the donkey brays."

I'm famous for my bad singing, and I'm super lethal.

I asked my younger brother if he wanted to learn how to cook, and he said he wanted to learn, but no one taught him because he was stupid.

"If you want to learn, you have to work hard and practice hard. Start by cutting vegetables." I said.

"I don't want to be able to cook. It's fine as a water table. At least I don't have to wash the dishes. Washing the dishes is despised." The younger brother said.

A simple child with a very small wish, or goal, can be a water case, just to stop people from looking down upon him.

Wasn't he the same as him back then?

Tell him to practice knife skills if he wants to learn, starting with shredded potatoes.

"Third brother, can I have a kitchen knife?" He asked, a little in disbelief.

His words caught me off guard for a moment, and I said to him, "Yes, why can't I take it?"

"When I was working at other people's house, I used a kitchen knife to chop vegetables. The water table scolded me and said that the dry cleaners can't use a kitchen knife." He whispered.

"That's another store. In our house, you can take whatever kitchen knife you want, but don't cut your hands."

In this way, the younger brother began to practice knife skills.

To be honest, he is really a bit stupid, he cuts the thick ones, thick ones and thin ones, and it’s not easy to make work meals with the shredded potatoes he has cut, and they can’t be fried together, the thin ones are cooked and the thick ones are still raw, and the thick ones are cooked and thin It's rotten.Just like that, no one said anything, just do whatever he wants.

After eating shredded potatoes for four days in a row, he was still cutting.

"Grandpa, can you cut something else!"

The second child yelled, startling the younger brother, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a bang. His hands trembled for a long time before he stopped, his little face turned pale.Then hurriedly picked up the kitchen knife, stood there looking at the second child at a loss.

The eldest yelled at the second: "What are you yelling for? It scares the little brother."

The second child whispered, "I didn't make too much noise either."

The boss waved to the younger brother and said, "Come here, I'll ask you something."

Little brother walked over.

"Has someone hit you in another restaurant?"

The younger brother looked at the boss and said nothing.

"Don't be afraid, tell the truth, has someone beat you?" the boss asked again.

"Hit."

"Do you always fight?"

At this time, the younger brother burst into tears.

"Whenever I did something wrong, they would slap me, and sometimes kick me to death."

I feel bad, sour, look at the boss, the second child, and the fourth child, all three of them are similar to me.

Later, I asked the boss how he saw that the younger brother had been beaten.

The boss said: "The second child called him, and he was startled. He dropped the kitchen knife, and then his hands trembled. It looked like he was beaten by someone, and something went wrong. This is a conditioned reflex. Those honest people in the number are fine The old criminals who are capable are always beaten, and they are so stupid. When you call him on one end, the other end trembles, which is the same as the younger brother's reaction. I knew he was a bear when I saw it. In other restaurants, he was often beaten by others. Otherwise, it’s not like that, at most it’s a shock.”

"Boss, you beat people up a lot in the cell, right?" the fourth child asked.

"Fuck off, I don't do that immoral thing, it's all done by a bum, I'm a hooligan talking about that." The boss cursed, and then asked: "Do you know what a hooligan is?"

"do not know."

"It's not about having broken shoes with a woman, it's a hooligan. That's a crime. A hooligan is a big brother, more benevolent than a fucking policeman," said the boss.

"Then why are you still arrested? You should be the chief." The second child said angrily.

"Here's another kid! Hooligans are benevolent and righteous, and they are very particular, but they are all illegal things. If you don't catch them, you can keep them? If you don't catch them like me, you won't go to heaven? You know what!"

After the boss finished speaking, he looked at the three of us and said seriously: "Don't bully the younger brother in the future, and don't scare him by shouting loudly. If no one beats him, he will get better after a year or so."

We nodded in agreement.
