Chapter XVII
My aunt's small restaurant is in the LC area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It used to be a PF area, and it was located in the middle of nowhere. When it rains, the roads are usually full of rainwater, and the half-mud and half-cement pavement will become ***** because there is no drainage system at all, and all kinds of garbage can often be seen on the muddy water, and even some people who have no public morality will throw garbage bags containing children's and urine on the road at will.
Time has passed, and the LC area has also ushered in a relocation and transformation two years ago, and the home of the aunt and her husband happens to be within the scope of the relocation. The two men received compensation and a few room tickets. At that time, the old aunt had already come down from the canteen, and set up a stall in the morning market to sell vegetables, not to mention the hard work and less income, the two of them combined, the eldest aunt was still a little crafted, and the house that moved back was not expensive, and the two of them simply used the money to buy a store there, opened a small noodle restaurant, and brought a little home-style stir-fry outside.
Later, the county moved several factories to this area, as if it was a small industrial area. It's slowly becoming lively here. In addition, the younger brother of the aunt has also been promoted to a small section chief, although the official is not big, but he can say something in the agency, and the aunt's small shop has been taken care of, and there is no mess of troubles, and the business is getting better and better.
The small restaurant of the aunt's house is called Lao Qi beef noodles. Jing Ran found a place to park the battery car and was about to go in.
It happened that a few diners came out of the small shop, and the aunt followed behind a few people to say hello.
"Let's go slowly, come back next time"
Seeing Jing Ran, the aunt beckoned,
"Jing Ran, you're here, come in."
"Hey, auntie" Jing Ran hurriedly greeted.
The aunt led him into the restaurant, and Jing Ran found out that it might be the reason for the meal, and the seven or eight tables in the room were all full of people. Two other people may not have a place for a while, sitting in chairs in the doorway, chatting and staring at the TV hanging on the wall behind the counter.
The tavern is not very large, and there is a glass warming cabinet in front of the counter with some common small pickles. Behind the counter is the kitchen.
With a "zila" sound, through the small window behind the counter, Jing Ran saw her brother-in-law pouring a plate of vegetables into the oil pot. Then there was the ping-pong sound of a shovel flipping a frying spoon, and the noise of diners mingling with the sound of the TV filled the shop with a busy scene.
"The fish-flavored eggplant is ready," the uncle shouted, and a beautiful fish plate was placed firmly on the small window, and the cousin walked over and served it to the diners. Seeing Jing Ran, he smiled and nodded at Jing Ran.
The aunt asked Jing Ran, "Have you eaten?" I'll go serve you a bowl of noodles."
"No, you don't have to worry about me, I'm here after eating" He came to work, and besides, he was so busy here that he couldn't see the height of his eyebrows at all.
Jing Ran hurriedly changed his clothes and replaced Qi Wei in the past, in fact, this kid is the same as him, he is not happy to work in the hotel, if his parents didn't force him, he wouldn't be willing to stay here to do it.
Qi Wei squeezed his eyes at Jing Ran, took out a bag of chocolates from his pocket and handed it to him,
"Brother, try it, imported, sent by my girlfriend"
"I won't eat it, you might as well keep it." He's not very interested in snacks.
Qi Wei didn't wait for him to refuse, and directly stuffed the chocolate into his pocket, "Bribe you, I'm leaving, brother!" After saying that, a puff of smoke ran away.
The aunt came out of the kitchen and saw that Jing Ran was the only one busy and asked, "Where is your little brother?" ”
"Just left," Jing Ran replied.
"This rabbit cub told him everything, let him go after dinner! I don't know what to prioritize. ”
"Forget it, auntie, my cousin can practice more cars if he goes early." Jing Ran persuaded him,
"That being said, but now that there are so many guests, can you handle it alone?"
Jing Ranxin said, didn't I just come to top your son's class? There's nothing you can't cope.
"It's okay, where is this? You're busy, I'm here. ”
It happened that there was a table to settle the bill after eating, and the aunt didn't have time to say anything and hurried over.
After the aunt left, Jing Ran began to get busy again. He is mainly responsible for ordering and delivering food, which is the errand job, and he has not come to the store to help before, which is naturally familiar with the road. During this period, Jing Ran delivered several takeaways. The number of customers in the store is decreasing. By one o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Ran had sent off the last diner.
After a brief cleaning, a few people had time to sit down for lunch.
The lunch meal was made by Xiao Tao, who is the assistant chef here, and his home is nearby. Also an old resident of the old city, Xiao Tao has lived with his grandfather since he was a child.
Because he was in a hurry to use the money, when he was demolished, his family directly took the demolition money and did not ask for a house. In order to take care of his grandfather, who is sick all the year round, Xiao Tao didn't even say anything.
The eldest aunt saw that he was filial and recruited him to the shop as an apprentice, and has been working here for nearly two years now.
Xiao Tao was cooking in the kitchen, and the eldest aunt walked out with a thermos cup, he usually likes to drink tea, but the kitchen is always busy, and he can't drink a sip of water, so he simply bought a thermos cup, so that at least he can always drink hot.
"How? Jing Ran, are you tired? The eldest aunt sat down beside him,
"No, where is this, I'm not tired," Jing Ran replied,
"It's good that you're not tired, if you want me to say, you just lack exercise? Don't look like it's inconspicuous to serve food or anything, at the end of this day, it's also a sport. The eldest aunt said,
"Yes, that's what you said," Jing Ran hurriedly replied.
"I heard your mother say, are you still studying for civil service at home? How's it going, are you sure this year? ”
"It's okay," Jing Ran replied vaguely
"Actually, if you want me to say, what's so good about taking the civil service exam, unless you become a big official, or don't you let people wave and drink too? I think you might as well do it with me, my aunt is still a good hand at cooking, this is also a craft."
"Hehe" Jing Ran could only smirk
The aunt also persuaded beside her, "Xiao Ran, you have also been at home for more than a year, in fact, what your uncle-in-law said is also reasonable, you can't let go of the identity of a college student who is not a college student, and now some college students come out to serve dishes, what is there to be ashamed of eating with ability." ”
"Besides, how can this be our own business, if you learn the craft from your uncle, can you still lose it? Don't look down on being a cook, now we are here, which one can earn five or six thousand. It's not better than you stay at home, right? ”
"Auntie, I applied for the exam this year. I'll talk about it when I'm done with the exam," Jing Ran said curtly, this is the reason why Jing Ran is not willing to come here to work, the aunt is simply the second mother, and she is hollowing out the idea of letting him follow her uncle to learn to cook, she has said this topic no less than 100 times.
In this regard, Jing Ran can only hehe.
