The story of a cook

Chapter 60 Pickle Burrito
The boss said that he would go to Xiao Liu's house during the Chinese New Year, and I thought about how I would go home during the Chinese New Year.

Liu Xiaoyan came out to work for a year and brought back a boyfriend, what about me?

Can you bring Yaru back?
Obviously impossible.She won't go back with me, she has to go home for the New Year.And she didn't dare to tell her family that she had a boyfriend outside.

What's more, Yaru didn't say at all that she was dating me, nor did she admit that I was her dating.

I like Yaru in my heart and hope to marry her as my wife.She is also a qualified daughter-in-law, but it seems that it is not easy to marry.Tell yourself that good things take time, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't rush anything.Yaru is still young and has just come out to work, so she doesn't have her own opinions yet, so it would be nice to be able to make decisions for her own affairs after a long time.

If her parents insist on asking her to go home, there is no way to find her a husband at home. With Yaru's character, she will listen to her parents and break up with me, go back home to go on a blind date, find a partner, get married, start a family, and be safe. Live steadily.

If that's the case, I can only bless her.

This is my random thought, after all, nothing happened, Yaru hasn't come home yet, her parents are not at home to find her a husband, I like her, I want to marry her, even if her parents don't want her outside I also want to fight for someone.

After much deliberation, I still don’t think about it anymore. After all, it’s a matter of the future, and no one knows what will happen in the future. It’s useless to think about it. It’s better to live the present well.

I will go home during the Chinese New Year, and at the same time think of my mother’s birthday on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Every year, my sisters celebrate my mother’s birthday.When I was at home, my sister and brother-in-law would come back every year on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the family gathered together to celebrate my mother's birthday.Although the family is poor and has nothing to eat, even the stewed sauerkraut stewed tofu and the whole family can eat happily.

It has been two years since I celebrated my mother's birthday, and I have to go back to celebrate my mother's birthday this year.

If you can't be filial at your mother's knee, it's a bit unreasonable for your mother not to go back after her birthday.

Mother is 62.

Boss Zou's son was born one month ago, and he made full moon wine for the child in the restaurant.

Many friends, relatives, and family members of Boss Zou and Huang Ping came that day. Everyone ate, drank and had a lot of trouble until three or four in the afternoon.After the waiter cleaned up, he began to receive the guests in the evening.

Fortunately, the evening, not many guests.

The eldest and second brother came back from BJ on an evening plane, and it was already nine o'clock when they arrived at the hotel.

Boss Zou drank a lot of wine and didn't have dinner with the eldest and second brother, so he went back after saying a few words.

I went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes, among which was the newly developed "hanging oven cake with elm root shreds", which has a nice name "Mom's pickled vegetable sandwich".While cooking, the head chef of Taishan Hotel came. The hotel was busy during the day and there was reception, so he came over after get off work at night.He and the eldest and second brother are also familiar, sitting at a table drinking.

Boss Zou's elder brother and brother-in-law were also there at night.Boss Zou's eldest brother is a taxi driver, and Boss Zou's brother-in-law is a small leader of a unit. He is dressed in a suit all day long, like a scholar.

All the other dishes were served, and I personally served the last dish "Mom's Pickled Vegetable Cracker", and said to everyone present: "This is the first dish I researched, try it and see if it works."

The eldest and second brother said: "Okay, Tanzi, I know how to study dishes, I have to try."

After speaking, I took the chopsticks to pick up the shredded taro root, and then put it in my mouth to taste. When he was eating, I looked at him nervously, and I didn't know much about the dishes I studied.

"Well, okay, it tastes good." The eldest brother said.

I said, "Brother, put the shredded elm root in the cake and eat it, try it."

"What? Yugentou? Don't tell me I didn't eat it, but I wondered what it was. It's delicious, Yugentou. I'll try it with a piece of cake." The eldest brother didn't It was elm root hair, and I was quite surprised after hearing what I said.

He picked up a piece of pancake, put shredded elm root on the pancake, rolled it up and put it in his mouth to eat.

Seeing that the eldest and second brother ate shredded elm root with hanging stove cakes, everyone also went to roll the shredded elm root with pancakes like the second brother.

The eldest brother took a bite and savored it carefully.

"Delicious, delicious, kind of like—"

"It's a bit like the burritos my mother made at home when I was a child." Sister Wang said: "At that time, there was no food at home, so I used the burritos to roll pickles. It was delicious. I couldn't eat them for many years."

Sister Wang seems to be reminiscing about the past.

The eldest and second brother said: "Yes, yes, that is, the burritos that I ate when I was young." Then he looked at Sister Wang and asked, "You also ate it when you were young?"

"Why haven't I eaten it, I always ate it when I was a child." Sister Wang said.

Boss Zou ate a piece and said: "That's not true. Everyone ate it when they were young. At that time, on Sundays, I took my second child and ran for several miles to dig Qumacai and mother-in-law. I came back and washed them." In my family, my mother just bakes burritos, dips some curly sesame vegetables in sauce, and eats the mother-in-law. If there is no curly sesame and mother-in-law, don’t you just eat it with this type of rolled pickles? I haven’t eaten it for many years, it’s weird—”

"Xiao Tanzi fried the shredded elm root, which is more fragrant than at that time. If it was fried like this, my second child and I could eat ten pieces."

Boss Zou laughed first after he finished speaking. His eyes were a little wet when he laughed, probably because he remembered the hard times in the past.

The eldest and second brother rolled another one after eating, held it with his hand and said: "At that time, the conditions of every family were not good, and there were many children. It was good to be able to eat burritos. I remember that my neighbors drank stick noodles all day long. Thin porridge, not even a bit meaty, my family was in a better condition at that time, my mother made some burritos and sent them to his family, and the children in his family rushed to eat them, because the burritos almost broke out."

The boss said: "What's more, my mother has a good heart. She saw that the children didn't have enough to eat and went home and gave them all the burritos. I yelled and asked the old man to beat me up when I didn't eat. I still remember it. "

Everyone laughed.

Sister Wang asked me: "Tan Zi, you are not very old, so you should have never experienced such hardships."

I said, "Well, I grew up eating burritos, and they were all cornmeal."

The eldest and second brother said: "Tanzi's family is difficult, and it is also very hard."

Sister Wang said: "How can we say that we are almost 20 years older than him? He should be about the same at that time." Then she asked me: "Tanzi, how old are you this year?"

"22." I smiled and said to Sister Wang: "I haven't experienced your era. I don't know what it was like. I remember when I was a child, I always ate big cornmeal pancakes at home. There were no vegetables, but pickles. In summer, green onion leaves were dipped in salt water. , not to mention digging Qumacai and mother-in-law Ding that I told my elder brother, I also ate elm money, bitter vegetables, and sauerkraut pickled by my mother in winter. Sometimes I eat it dry. Sometimes my mother adds some soybean sprouts and stews it. It would be nice to eat soybean sprouts stewed with pickles. The burritos you mentioned are only eaten in the past two years. I haven’t eaten them before. If my mother made them before I guess my family doesn’t have enough burritos.”

Sister Wang looked at me and said, "It's so hard, your family is so difficult?"

"It's better now. It's much better than before. I work part-time to earn money, and my sister also earns money. It's much better." I said.

Seeing what I said, Sister Wang said: "You should treat your mother better. It's not easy to hear you say that about your mother."

"Well, it's not easy for my mother. Pulling our six siblings has suffered a lot and suffered a lot. My mother-very hard." Blocking.

The eldest brother finished the second cake and picked up the wine glass.

"Our table is going to talk about suffering. Regardless of our age, we may not necessarily have the hardships of Xiao Tanzi. Anyway, I admit that I have never experienced the hardships of Xiao Tanzi. Don't talk about it. Boss Zou will celebrate the full moon for the son today, and the host will drink Too much running, let's drink, I will do it first."

Finished talking and drank a glass of wine.

I drank a lot of wine that day, a little too much, and after sending them away, I went back to the private room to sleep.

On the second day Yaru asked me: "Did you drink too much yesterday?"

I said, "I've had too much to drink."

"I think you also drank too much. When I went to your room, you fell asleep and snored. I remember you didn't snore when you slept," she said.

"Really? How do you know I don't snore." I asked curiously.

She just laughed and said, "You think I saw you sleeping yesterday, I saw you before, you don't know, you're all asleep, hee hee."

I looked at her and said, "You girl."

Yaru likes me.It's just that she is young and has no backbone, and she has always been a good girl at home. She listened to her parents and came out to work purely to open her eyes and see what the wonderful world outside is like.Her family's conditions are good, and there is no shortage of the little money she earned from working part-time.When she came out, her parents told her not to have sex outside. The main reason was that she didn't want such an old girl to marry too far away. When the time came, it would be difficult for parents to see her.

Yaru is a filial child. When she came out, her parents said that she would not dare to have sex outside if she was not asked to have sex outside. She was afraid that her brother and sister-in-law would find out and tell her parents. If you find a partner, you will definitely send her home and never let her come out again.And she doesn't want to stay at home, it's too boring for her, in order not to be locked up by her parents, she can't come out, so although she likes me, she doesn't dare to say that she has a relationship with me, she is afraid that she won't be able to come out in the future .

Yaru is now just like Xiaoyingzi back then, very clinging to me.The difference is that he didn't have the idea of ​​dating Xiaoyingzi at the beginning, and treated Xiaoyingzi as a younger sister.Now it's different from Yaru, I like her and want to be with her.And it's not just as simple as having a partner, but also wants to marry her home to be his wife.

I don't know if my wish can come true.
