Chapter 05: Happy Times
There was a loud "pop", and two thick stacks of bills slapped on the table. Jian Fan, who repaid the money, was a little proud, but the creditor Huang Tianye was a little surprised. Holding the banknotes and flipping through them casually, he said suspiciously: "It's really on it, it's not a counterfeit banknote, right?.........?" Hey, did you rob the bank? Or did you fall in love with a rich woman? A while ago, I was so anxious to take off my pants and sell myself, but now I'm dragging you into a rich yin?"
Huang Tianye stared at Jian Fan, as if he wanted to ask what was going on. Jian Fan said with a grin: "Salary, bonuses, and extra money are not enough to repay you? β
"Isn't it?" Huang Tianye seemed to be a little unbearable, and refused: "Don't mind, I'm not in a hurry, don't just tighten your trouser belt to pay back, and suffer yourself, this city is no better than you, you have to leave some money for emergencies." β
Huang Tianye excused, and this push made Jian Fan strange: "Hey, third child, you are not a righteous and wealthy master." Who borrows fifty hundred when you go to school, you can talk about it for months, what's the matter?". Unexpectedly, the third child, who was squinting and squinting, was very obscene, and said with a smile: "You are really a roundworm in my stomach." As soon as my performance was abnormal, you showed it. Brother Guo, let's put it this way, I have a new idea now. β
"It's over, and I'll remember whose money is in my pocket. Jian Fan smiled and lay on the edge of the bed casually. Looking at it casually, the house of the old three families is brighter than the unit house, in the old city, with a single courtyard, living on three floors, and a pigeon house on the roof, a few people in the same room often come to play when they go to college, but at this time, Jian Fan pays more attention to the decoration pattern of the house.
The third child's mind was not on this, he pulled a chair and sat closer, and said excitedly: "Brother Guo, I have calculated an account, starting from May 4th, our spread out for a month and ten days, in addition to all expenses, I also left more than 10,000 yuan in my hand." You've made six or seven thousand, too. β
"yes, what's wrong?" Jian Fan said.
"No, you listen to me, I only know after careful calculation today, this business is much better than the sexual health care store I opened, the cost is only a few hundred yuan a day, and the cost is both profit and interest on the same day, and the flow is fast. The goods do not stay and make profits......... But sometimes I have some orders in my store, and I can't sell them for a year. I'm wrong about this business. At that time, when I was choosing to graduate, I thought that this person would live for a lifetime, one is to eat and the other is the day, and to do business is to start from these two ends, I should not choose the day, start from sexual health care, but should choose to eat and eat...... Even if you choose a Japanese business, it should be a sex industry, not sexual health care. The third child said, energetic, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the chair, as if he was in school. Jian Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed, and rolled on the bed with laughter.
"Brother Guo, don't laugh, I really have an idea, our family is less than two kilometers out of the road to the university town, I want to open a cheap and high-quality restaurant on that road, so I will make more money...... It's a little stronger than this night market, earning a thousand yuan a day. How much is that month?30,000 yuan...... More than 300,000 nirvana a year, which is still a small amount......... Buying a house and buying a house, it's a matter of minutes, if you want to go out in a chic way, then you can find the most expensive girl in the Tang Dynasty, and if you want to buy a car, you have to talk to BMW, right?" Huang Tianye counted with his fingers, his face fascinated.
"Hey...... Wake up...... Jian Fan sat up with a smile, and said with a smile: "You have a house, a car, your brother-in-law can drive it in Xiali;
"Look, you have no ambitions, what do I say about making money? Who has a grudge against money......... Don't change the subject for me, where am I saying?"
"Speaking of buying a BMW. β
"No, I mean opening a store. Huang Tianye's eyes flickered, he came up, and said pleadingly: "Brother Guo, can we open a store?"
"Ah?...... You've tasted a little sweet, and you still want to eat fat? Are you the ingredient?"
"yes, I'm not the material, don't I look for you?"
"I'm a police officer now. Does the police know? This means that if there is a mission, you have to go. Jian Fan said.
"What's so rare about a broken policeman, it's not as much money as someone who pedals three wheels on the street, what's the point of doing it? Besides, it doesn't matter if you have a good reputation? As far as you, who wear big-brimmed hats, your reputation is not as good as that of the rotten people in the city management. The third child talked eloquently.
"You can insult me, but you can't insult my profession. Didn't you point at the monk and scold the thief?" Jian Fan glared and was not polite, if he hadn't been a policeman before, he might have the same opinion as the third child, but now, when he is in it, he knows the responsibility and hard work of this profession, to say that this profession is not very true, but to be like the third child, it is a bit biased. Just after coming down from the flood control line, Jian Fan only felt that his consciousness had been greatly improved, and it was obvious that he was harsh when he heard this.
"Look, look, look at how horizontal you are talking now, Fei Fat Man said that you have changed, and I also think you have changed a little. Huang Tianye complained. Still remembering his thoughts, he threatened: "If you really don't do it, don't do it, don't look for me next time you borrow money." Don't buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law at that time, what's the matter, and cry poor after my ass. β
"You're going to blackmail, aren't you? Jian Fan lay down and ignored it.
"Hi...... This birdman. Huang Tianye was so angry that he put on his shoes and got up to drag Jian Fan. complained endlessly: "Okay, take a step back, you give me some pointers, can you help when you're free?"
"Third ......" Jian Fan really thought about it when he looked at it, sat up and thought about it and said, "You think about it." Peers are not profitable, dry restaurants lose money is not a few, this is the first; second, you have to have your own characteristics, such as the one we used to go to, Sichuan flavor building, people's back pot meat, bacon, Mao Xuewang, are all Sichuan characteristics of things, a taste of the right. If you don't have something special, you won't be able to sound this signboard, and it's good to earn hard money, maybe you may lose your investment. Third. You're too treacherous to sell food, especially if you're a little bit more profitable. You can't even sell beer with water, and you don't like it too much when I come forward, so can you?...... And fourth, don't do what you don't understand. β
Huang Tianye was said to be very happy, and he didn't mind Jian Fan saying that he was a traitor, and it seems that profiteers are not too derogatory words these days. But the more I listened to it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and asked strangely: "Brother Guo, you are an expert, so you have to help my brother?" I don't understand, why do you hold on to the work of the police?"
"I didn't understand it at first, but now I also think it's good to be a policeman, and I have become a regular worker, a regular state worker, and I receive a few thousand until I die of old age, and I still have ten months to die of a shirt?...... You don't know the hard work of doing business, I listened to my mother, my father was a chef in the early years in the provincial capital, and he was looked down upon everywhere. Stumbled and opened a shop in my hometown, the flood in '82 washed away the shop, and a stream of water washed my family bankrupt, and I was so poor that I couldn't open the pot, and it took many years to turn over, and my mother now cried when she talked about the difficulties at that time............ When I was in junior high school, there was another incident, we have a local family that also opened a store, seeing that our restaurant business is better, so I insisted on buying our store, they have several brothers, our family can't mess with people, if it weren't for my second uncle is a policeman, maybe the store will be taken away......... My dad has stumbled and scared my mother in this life, she doesn't want her son and daughter to be in this business again, she just wants us to be safe and sound, and we are state workers with a head and a face, and this old man's vision is not wrong. β
Jian Fan spoke earnestly. There are no reservations with his buddies, Huang Tianye listened to the little eyes blinking, with a bitter face, and wanted to persuade Brother Guo, but he didn't think about it, but he felt that he was persuaded by Brother Guo, and said stupidly: "Forget it, don't force it." I'll figure it out myself, but when the time comes, you should help out. β
"No problem, you say a word. Just give money. Jian Fan grinned.
"Hey, it's a pity, you're so good at craft. Huang Tianye shook his head.
Jian Fan said disdainfully: "There is a problem with your thinking, for example, if I can play with guns, do I have to kill people? For example, if I know music, do I have to sell singing? I know how to cook, so I must sell food? Then you still have sexual organs, why don't you sell yourself?...... The third child, do one thing in a down-to-earth manner, what you want to do is purely to run for money, you can't do anything. β
Huang Tianye didn't understand anymore: "Then what you said, if you don't make money, why should I learn that?"
"Don't discuss it, you just fell into the eyes of money, I also told you, the simpler the more an art, the simplest Chinese cabbage method, I will make seventeen kinds, and I know, there are more than thirty kinds; The simplest example, there are more than 20 kinds of pasta dishes in Ohara City, and if you want to talk about genres and cuisines, there are no less than dozens of flavors of the same dish, and if you try it, you won't know what you should do when the time comes......
Jian Fan got up with a smile and put on his shoes. looked at Huang Tianye, who was stunned, and was even happier.
Cooking skills are like guns in Jian Fan's hands, he likes to play freely, he likes to enjoy the fun of the process, if he really can't help it, it's understandable to sell food with a knife, but now that he has been a police officer for more than half a year, his thinking has obviously changed.
The two of them went out together, and in the huge yard, the rain cloth covered the two guys who went out of the stall, and it rained for several days in a row, which disrupted the business. Huang Tianye was hit by Jian Fan, his self-confidence was lost, he sent Jian Fan out, watched Jian Fan get into the police car, and still didn't give up and pulled Jian Fan and said: "Brother Guo, the more you say this, the more capable I feel." As long as you are willing to do it, I will take out a loan to buy a house for you, you will be the boss, and I will be a buddy? It's a pity to bury me, it's a pity to bury you. It's a pity that we both buried it, but it's a pity that the money is a pity?"
said it with sincere words and sufficient reasons, as if he had really mistaken a good business to make money, Jian Fan said disappreciably: "Sell your sexual organs steadily, you are not a master who can survive ........."
Laughing at the car, he said a word, and left the dust.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Driving on the Dayuan Street after the rain, it is inversely proportional to the gloomy weather, Jian Fan's mood is extremely comfortable, yesterday when he came back from the flood fight, he was tired enough, half of the team asked for leave to rest at home this morning, and in the middle of the morning Jian Fan avoided Yang Hongxing, slipped out of the team, divided the money hidden under the bed, saved a part, and left 30,000 to repay Fei Fatzi and Huang Tianye.
Just after the flood, the rain stopped, the streets and alleys of Dayuan are rarely so clean and refreshing, but the weather is still gloomy, look at the time is already more than eleven o'clock, pull out the phone to ask Zeng Nan, to return a favor.
According to the place Zeng Nan said on the phone, he was happy when he stopped at the gate of the community far away, this is not another place, it is the back door of the Ping'an community, and his house is here. The two were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, could it be that this house is still together?
The car stopped at the entrance of the community and waited on the curb, and after a while, I saw Zeng Nan wearing a long dress and a bag on her shoulder. Getting closer, Jian Fan burst out laughing. Zeng Nan also smiled, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?
As he spoke, he looked left and right, and went out in a panic for fear of making a mistake there, but he heard Jian Fan say: "It's beautiful." However, why are you wearing such a sexy dress for dinner? β
Zeng Nan heard that there was no flattering element in this, and said with a smile: "If a woman doesn't love beauty, there will be no cuteness." β¦β¦ Why don't you talk about me? Why did you come out in a police uniform? β
"I can't help it?" Jian Fan spread his hands and said helplessly: "I sneaked out of my class, so I'm embarrassed to go back to the dormitory to change?"
The two of them have dealt with each other a few times, but they are also familiar with each other, get in the car and sit down, as soon as Jian Fan moved the car, Zeng Nan smiled and was very interested, and asked: "I thought you were going to miss the appointment again, but I didn't want to fulfill the contract very quickly...... Where are you going to invite me?"
"I thought of a good place, Wuzhai stew, have you heard of it?" Jian Fan said.
Zeng Nan said: "I've heard of it, I haven't been there, it seems to be in Dongcheng District, it's quite far from here." β
"The piece of Dongji Tiger Camp has been open for a few months, and it tastes good, but the key is that it is cheap. β
"Stingy...... Hehe. β
Zeng Nan smiled and was disgusted, Jian Fan glanced at it when he started, if you want to say sexy, Zeng Nan is a little more than Sister Jiang, under the skirt, there are faint red nails in the thin stockings, even if you only look at one place, it makes people think about it. Thinking of the scene when Zeng Nan ran out of the car alone in the heavy rain that day, and knew that this was a policeman's daughter, she was faintly not as far away as she had been to a nightclub before.
This journey is really far enough, the two chatted, it took more than ten minutes to reach the destination, the small faΓ§ade, the five big characters of "Wuzhai Braised Restaurant" are almost a quarter of the length of the storefront, eye-catching, go straight to the reserved seat, sit by the window, just can look at the street scene.
Let the chair sit down, the waiter poured water tea and handed over the menu, but Zeng Nan only picked a cold spell and handed it to Jian Fan, Jian Fan nodded familiarly. It was almost noon, and it was already full. Looking at the trivial details such as Jian Fan's mother-in-law instructing the waiter not to have too much taste, not to have too much spicy, to have less monosodium glutamate, etc., Zeng Nan smiled unconsciously, as if this instruction was said by himself when he had dinner with Jian Fan and Tang Datou last time, and he only said it once, but Jian Fan remembered it clearly.
Waiting for the dishes, Zeng Nan smiled and sipped water and asked casually: "Jian Fan, I have a small question, I don't know if you are willing to answer?"
"The questions you ask are usually tricky, and it's best not to be too difficult, otherwise I won't be able to answer them. Jian Fan compromised first and replied with a smile.
Zeng Nan was a little ridiculous, as if there was a period of Ai Ai: "I just want to ask, did you come to treat me out of guilt for throwing me in the rain that day, or did you sincerely treat me as a friend?"
"No, that's wrong. Jian Fan said narrowly: "For the money of that day, please." β
"Is it so straightforward, aren't you afraid that I'll walk away?" Zeng Nan was stunned, and got another unexpected answer.
"You won't walk away, you have the answer in your heart, why do you have to ask me for verification?" Jian Fan smiled, as if he didn't understand, his eyes were full of cunning, Zeng Nan pointed to what Jian Fan wanted to say, but he didn't say it, but laughed first.
Perhaps, this is also a tacit understanding. Sometimes you can make eye contact for a moment, but Zeng Nan knows in his heart that the reason why the relationship between the two has changed is needless to say that it is because he knows his identity. And avoiding this reason, probably afraid of mentioning the past. The past and the people of the past are not even willing to talk about it. Jokes to defuse the embarrassment is the best way to do it at this time.
Li Wei has always praised Jian Fan, praising him for his vision and insight, which made Zeng Nan agree a little more. When waiting for the food, even when he didn't speak, his eyes glanced at Jian Fan intentionally or unintentionally, and he felt a little more interesting the more he watched.
Talking and the dishes came up, the dishes were full of oil and fragrant, and the color was bright, which made people can't help but increase their appetite. Jian Fan let it diligently, Zeng Nan tasted it lightly, nodded, followed by a few more bites, and only then asked in surprise when he got to the good place: "Is this ...... What kind of food is it? It's delicious. β
Jian Fan was stunned: "No, right? I haven't heard of the black meat stew in Wuzhai?"
"I've heard of it, I haven't eaten, I went to school and lived in a boarding house, I went to college in Changsha, and when I came back, this job was black and white upside down, so I had time to eat and wander around like you......... Aren't all stewed dishes soup? Isn't that quite like that?" Zeng Nan explained as he ate with oil on his mouth, but he seemed to be enjoying it tightly.
"Hey...... That's right, this is its specialty, it is stewed and stewed to make the soup into the dish, do you think, all kinds of seasonings thicken the soup flavor into the dish, can it not be delicious?...... So to eat, the meat is fragrant, the potato pieces are tender, the beans are sweet and fresh, and the most difficult vermicelli is also flavored. β
When it comes to eating, Jian Fan has a lot of topics, talking about the advantages and pointing out the disadvantages, eating and chewing without hurry, and commenting: "This is still commercialized, there are obviously too many powdered potatoes, monosodium glutamate, and chicken essence, and potatoes and vermicelli are stewed in a pressure cooker." The real Wuzhai stewed vegetables are all in the countryside, the fresh vegetables just picked in the field, the newly killed big fat pigs, and the vermicelli that has just leaked out of the pot, a few things are stewed, the original taste, so that the soup naturally shrinks into the dish, that is called beauty. β
It is better to listen to the scenery than to see the scenery, and it is better to talk about the food than to taste the food. Jian Fan said nothing, the listener was stunned, Zeng Nan's eyes rolled, and suddenly interjected: "Hey, Jian Fan, I heard Tang Datou say, what's wrong with you being a chef? I thought he was talking nonsense, he wouldn't be a chef, right?"
"That's my ideal, but ......," Jian Fan said with a sneer: "Under normal circumstances, this ideal can't be realized." β
"I think you'd better be a policeman. β
Zeng Nan smiled, looked at Jian Fan in a daze and praised it, and Jian Fan also accepted it all with a smile.
The signature stewed vermicelli with black meat, fried pork with fresh beans, fried mountain mushrooms, and tough and smooth steamed buns, the two of them eat more and say less, but occasionally say a word, Jian Fan's words must be to the point, straight to the essence, I don't know if it's because of the good introduction, or because the food is quite good, Zeng Nan only felt that his appetite was great, and he tasted a lot of every dish, but in the end, he was coquettish, put down the chopsticks, wiped his mouth elegantly, and said ridiculously: "I believe that you are a chef now, and what you say is better than what you eat." β
"Huh...... They complement each other. Scientific studies have shown that when people are in a good mood, their digestive function is 20% higher than normal. Jian Fan responded with a smile.
"Then are you happy now?" Zeng Nan tilted his head slightly, his eyes shot directly, and he smiled lightly as if he was **.
Of course, Jian Fan's face was extremely thick, very deep, and said very seriously: "Of course it's pleasant, there are delicious foods on the table and beautiful women sitting at the table, can it be unpleasant?"
It was making Zeng Nan giggle, unpleasant things came, as soon as the phone rang, Jian Fan saw that it was from the duty room of the team, and put it to his ear at will, and the smile on his face dispersed when he listened to it, and Zeng Nan, who was watching, also dispersed with a smile, and when Jian Fan put down the phone, Zeng Nandi said very understandingly: "There is another task, right? It's okay, I don't mind." β
"I don't mind. Jian Fan said stupidly: "It's easy to accompany the beautiful woman to eat and eat, you said that this is a lot of fun, and you also swept the two of us twice in a row...... Luckily, I'm almost done. β
"Let's go, what are you waiting for? Zeng Nan understood better than Jian Fan, and got up and put on his bag.
When he came, he was free, and when he came back, he panicked, and directly sent Zeng Nan to the intersection of the Tang Dynasty, Jian Fancai hurried to the first team, muttering in his heart, this unlucky policeman is not allowed to stop eating, and his digestive function is improved, and if he comes like this a few times, he will have indigestion.........
