Chapter 01 When I first arrived, everything was a new beginning
With the sound of the train entering the station, the green leather carriages slowly drove into the train station.
When I saw that I was about to get out of the boring time in the carriage and walked into this city full of prosperity and infinite temptation, my face, which was expressionless just now, suddenly showed an excited look.
At this time, in the green leather car, people have long been restless. It began to be lively, and each passenger eagerly picked up their luggage and prepared to get off the bus.
Soon, the green leather cars stopped steadily at the platform of the station. The first to get off the train were the attendants, followed by the passengers with shoulder bars, and they walked down one after another.
At this time, Zhang Dequan was in the same mood as everyone. He followed the slowly moving flow of people, quickly walked out of the train station, and came to the exit of the train station.
Despite the fact that this time is daytime. However, for Zhang Dequan, there is not much difference from the night when his eyes are black. Zhang Dequan, who was standing at the exit of the station, couldn't find the southeast and northwest standing in place. At this moment, he didn't dare to take a step at all, and he was afraid to take half a step forward. Because he didn't know that his legs should move in that direction, that way.
Zhang Dequan, who had just come out of the train station, stood in place, looking around, looking for a familiar figure in the crowd around him. However, he stood at the exit of the station, looked for a long time, and waited for a long time. That familiar figure never appeared.
However, he did not dare to go far, he was afraid, in case the familiar figure appeared, but he was not found. Then he left it, and Zhang Dequan, who was at a loss, went back.
Zhang Dequan was waiting for his cousin at this time.
But his cousin didn't come to pick him up on time, and it seemed that he had to make a phone call to urge him.
………
At this time, in the kitchen operation room of a four-star hotel, there was a slightly fat middle-aged man, who was sweating and stir-frying. The beating flames, accompanied by his swaying body, appeared and disappeared very rhythmically.
Although this middle-aged man, struggling to toss, the dish in the pot. However, the dishes in the pot are not tossed high into the air as seen in TV dramas or TV commercials, doing a graceful 180-degree somersault. Instead, on the edge of the wok, it looms and dances with the fire.
Newcomers will definitely be startled by such a scene, because the flames rushing up from the bottom of the pot can easily burn the chef in the eyes of others. But that's not the case, at least not a single chef has ever complained.
The middle-aged man standing by the stove, the movements of his hands are very fast, and he is methodically operating, and the various processes of stir-frying. Soon, a plate of dishes with good colors and flavors was served out by the waiter.
The person in the picture is Zhang Dequan's cousin, that is, his father's brother Xiaoshu, his full name is Liu Xiaoshu, he is 12 years older than Zhang Dequan, Zhang Dequan is 18 years old, and he is exactly 30 years old.
He is Zhang Dequan's cousin, that is, Liu Xiaoshu's father is Zhang Dequan's uncle, and Zhang Dequan's mother is Liu Xiaoshu's sister-in-law.
He is the person in charge of this kitchen operation room, mainly arranging the dishes in the kitchen and the speed of delivery. Even though he is in charge, he is a small official.
However, during the peak hours of hotel guests, when there are not enough people, he will also personally put on the oven and fry for a while.
He also did not have a high level of education, and he also graduated from high school. Since I didn't get into university, I stayed at home for a few years at first, and then I came out to work.
At first, he worked in a factory in the suburbs, starting as an ordinary worker, and finally became a small team leader. Since I work in a factory, I am not only tired when I work, but I also work overtime at night.
Liu Xiaoshu felt that if he continued to work in it, he would not have much future, so he resigned.
In an accidental moment, he suddenly thought of his ancestral craft, cooking banquet dishes! That is, when the rural people set up a banquet, they would invite the chef in charge of the soup to arrange all kinds of wine and dishes.
Liu Xiaoshu's father is a well-known chef in the village and outside the village. Almost every family's big and small banquet will invite his father to take charge of the spoon. When Liu Xiaoshu was a child, he would often follow his father to eat, and if he went, he would definitely have a piece of his food. Besides, how much can a small child eat?
When he grows up, he will be embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing, so he will go and help! Follow his father and see what he can do. Liu Xiaoshu is so positive, and he is very happy in his father's heart.
After all, there are many skills to defend oneself, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. Therefore, his father consciously and slowly taught Liu Xiaoshu what he had learned all his life, so in the hotel, Liu Xiaoshu's dishes, whether it was the dishes or the taste, were very in place.
Although he didn't really take a chef class or anything, his cooking skills were top-notch.
It is precisely because of this craft that he caught up with a beautiful wife and gave birth to a fat son. Due to limited economic conditions, they did not take their children with them, so they put them in their hometown and let their parents take care of them.
In Liu Xiaoshu's plan, he is the one who is ready to take root in this city. Because he once made such a promise to his wife. As a man, he is definitely going to make good on his promises.
His wife's name is Zeng Jingru, 4 years younger than Liu Xiaoshu, and she and Liu Xiaoshu met at the hotel where they worked.
At that time, Liu Xiaoshu was working as a chef in the kitchen, Zeng Jingru was a manager in the housekeeping department, and she studied hotel management and graduated from university. has a higher education than Liu Xiaoshu, and her family conditions are better than Liu Xiaoshu, and her parents are both teachers.
When they got married, her parents were against it, because they didn't want their daughter to marry such a person from the wrong family, and they didn't want their daughter to marry so far. Eventually, though, they got together, got married, and had a fat son.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoshu, who was stir-frying on the stove, felt his mobile phone vibrating in his trouser pocket. He knew that most of the calls were from his cousin, Zhang Dequan's kid.
He immediately turned off the fire, took out his mobile phone, and connected the phone.
"Hey, who are you?" he knew who it was, and he was so happy that he joked. I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, and I miss it very much, especially for people who have been wandering outside all the year round, and I am not happy to see my relatives.
"Brother Xiaoshu, it's me, Dequan. Zhang Dequan said. At this time, Zhang Dequan muttered in his heart, what did he do, he couldn't even hear my voice.
"Which Zhang Dequan are you? Why are you pretending to be my cousin?" After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Liu Xiaoshu continued to tease him.
"I'm Zhang Dequan from Hugou Village, how many cousins do you have named Zhang Dequan?" Zhang Dequan finally heard that his cousin did it on purpose, so Zhang Dequan retorted to his cousin with dissatisfaction.
"It seems that I only have one cousin named Zhang Dequan, but how can I believe you, you are Zhang Dequan from Hugou Village. Because of his own point, he was relatively busy, Liu Xiaoshu didn't take care of Zhang Dequan, and when he heard that Zhang Dequan was dissatisfied, Liu Xiaoshu was no longer embarrassed to tease him.
"Don't bother ado, when are you going to pick me up? I've already gotten off the train and left the station. Standing next to the exit, Zhang Dequan, who was on the phone in the public hall, said anxiously.
"I don't have time, I'm at work. I'll call you cousin, come and pick you up. Where are you at the train station? Listening to Zhang Dequan's tone, Liu Xiaoshu was sure that Zhang Dequan was really in a hurry, so Liu Xiaoshu hurriedly thought of a way.
"I'm sitting on the steps at the exit, and if you don't pick me up, I won't leave. Zhang Dequan said indifferently, in fact, Zhang Dequan didn't dare to do anything else except sitting there.
"Then you just wait there, don't move! Your cousin will pick you up after a moment. Your cousin-in-law, you should know each other, right?" Thinking that Zhang Dequan couldn't find the appearance of the southeast and northwest, Liu Xiaoshu asked uneasily.
Liu Xiaoshu's wife, Zeng Jingru, she only met Zhang Dequan twice in total, once when Liu Xiaoshu married her, and when she went back to her hometown to hold a banquet, Zhang Dequan went to Liu Xiaoshu's house once, and the other time was when she was at home with her children, Zhang Dequan went to Liu Xiaoshu's house once.
Since Zhang Dequan was still studying at the time, even the time at home was very small, let alone visiting relatives and friends.
After talking to Zhang Dequan on the phone, Liu Xiaoshu immediately called his wife Zeng Jingru.
"Honey, are you busy now?" Liu Xiaoshu said to Zeng Jingru.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Liu Xiaoshu calling himself during work hours, Zeng Jingru asked curiously.
"Do you have time, go pick it up, Zhang Dequan. Liu Xiaoshu asked.
"Has he arrived?" Hearing Zhang Dequan's name, Zeng Jingru asked casually.
"It's here! Everyone has already gotten off the train and is sitting on the steps at the exit. I saw that he didn't see the two of us after he got off the train, so he must have been in a hurry. At this time, Liu Xiaoshu finally said the reason why he was in a hurry to call Zeng Jingru.
"Then I'll take a ride right now. Bring him to the hotel, or take him home?" After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, Zeng Jingru said undecidedly.
"Bring him to the hotel, there's no one at home, it's strangely deserted. Besides, he may not have eaten yet, but here he is, let him eat something. You should know Zhang Dequan!" For the two people who hadn't met a few times, Liu Xiaoshu was worried that they wouldn't recognize each other, so he said uneasily.
"Know, know, don't worry, I'm hanging!" It just so happened that at this point in time, Zeng Jingru's housekeeping department was not very busy, so she said hello to her colleagues, handed over the work, and set off.
At this moment, Zhang Dequan was in the public phone hall next to the train station, after calling Liu Xiaoshu. Zhang Dequan, who has nothing to do, can only start and enjoy the scenery. Everything here was something he had never seen before. The tall buildings in front of you, the road in front of you, and the flow of people in front of you............
When you first arrive, it's all a new beginning.
This is a new beginning and a new life.
