Chapter 3: Winter

Wu Fan left his family for six years, six years ago, a lonely wanderer came to the family empty-handed, and left empty-handed after six years, which makes people feel that time is the fairest referee, you can never get it if you don't belong to you, and you can't hide from what belongs to you. It can't be said that Wu Fan didn't take anything away, at least he also took away a set of clothes that could shelter from the wind and rain and something that he couldn't take to eat.

Although it was the tenth winter month, fortunately, there was no heavy rain, otherwise Wu Fan didn't know if he would have frozen to death on the cold and windy streets. There are sparsely populated people on both sides of the road, and the sporadic figures are also in a hurry, while Wu Fan is so cold that he covers his hands, no one wants to delay a moment more on the road on such a cold day, time is life This point is vividly shown at this moment. Wu Fan kept looking for a livelihood on the streets, and the frequent entry and exit of the cold and hot made Wu Fan's pale cheeks full of blood. Fortunately, it is in the north, although the wind is cold to the bone, but it is dry and cold, and the cold is on the skin, and it will pass after enduring. If it is changed to the watery land in the south, if it is really cold, it is cold in the bones and frozen to the heart.

As long as a person realizes the irresistible power of necessity, he will surely endure what is destined for him. Prometheus stole the holy flame for the stupid human race, but he didn't expect the fire to kill the poor little match girl, in fact, Wu Fan felt that she was probably worse than the little girl who died tragically on the street and no one knew about it, at least she had felt a trace of warmth in the cold winter in the firelight, enjoyed the romantic candlelight dinner, and also met the only grandmother who loved her, that kind old man had actually been guarding herself in the sky city, wasn't it? Even though everything was a dream, at least the little match girl still had a humble job.

What about yourself?

Wu Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and rubbed his hands again, and walked to the next store. It's good to be happy, and at least you can see the sun at four o'clock in the morning, and people like to call that thing the dawn.

The people of Li pay attention to food, clothing, shelter and transportation, which is the most basic guarantee of the people's life, but it is not easy for most people to meet the two items of "food" and "housing", and the reason for several peasant uprisings in history is that the people cannot cover their bodies and cannot eat to satisfy their hunger. Wu Fan naturally doesn't have much guarantee for any of these items, but he doesn't have the ability to kill the White Snake Uprising.

The situation is the same as six years ago, but full of infinite possibilities, this is the blessing and misfortune of life. What Wu Fan desires most now is to find a job where he can eat mixed rice, it doesn't matter if the salary is low, as long as he can manage a bite of food, otherwise?

There are frozen bones on the road, and the streets are dusty.

Huang Tian lived up to his hard work, and Wu Fan reluctantly finally found such a job-

"Wu Fan! It's served! Come and have a try! ”

"Okay, here we go!"

"Xiao Wu! The swill collector is here, go pour it! ”

"Hey, I'll be right away."

There were shouts like this from a small dilapidated restaurant, and it was hard to imagine that this humble little restaurant would do such a good business. Whenever the meal arrives, the diners here are called an endless stream, the price is cheap, the most important thing is the boss's craftsmanship, Wu Fan's evaluation of him is only two words: a must. It is said that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but the fragrance of this meal can hook out people's gluttony across the street.

Although the restaurant is not very big, it is better than all kinds of organs, and there are several more "luxurious" private rooms on the second floor, just look at the style of the table and the yellowed walls to know that this restaurant is indeed some years old, and Wu Fan works in this restaurant. In fact, it's just a handyman, the boss stir-frying, the proprietress keeps the accounts, and the other three employees are just running before and after. However, if you have a place to eat and a place to live, your salary is a little lower, and it is only a thousand yuan a month. Although the salary is so meager, as long as Wu Fan is not allowed to sleep on the streets again, he is already satisfied, after all, his current situation is a hundred times better than six years ago. It is said that contentment can always be happy, he is not like some students who have just walked out of the school gate or just walked into the school gate think that he is a horse to be discovered, as long as he shouts his name loudly, he can become the general manager and marry Bai Fumei, stubbornly think that a fairy tale like a happy ending will happen to you, that is not stupid, it is naΓ―ve.

The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.

Sadly, he was blinded by the picture made up by his own brain, and left in a hurry before he had time to look in the mirror.

Wu Fan is working as a handyman in this small restaurant, if you want to ask what this handyman is, then let me tell you, this handyman is the kind of job with very complete functions. Just like the firefighters who often appear on CCTV channels, they can not only save people from the fire, but also climb high-rise buildings like Spider-Man, which can be said to be omnipotent. Much more trained than the so-called servants of the people, who don't have much time to rest, but who don't have enough pay or a little bit of oil. Hi, who can bribe a firefighter or not? As the so-called revolutionary masses need to move a brick wherever they need to, the price is incomparably hard.

Wu Fan was chopping vegetables in the back kitchen, and the boss Wang Chao was stir-frying on the side. Wu Fan, who was bored, was chopping vegetables on the side, chatting with the boss without saying a word.

"Boss, I heard you're from the South? Where is the South? ”

The boss poured the dish into the hot pot with one hand and replied, "Jiangsu, Nanjing." ”

The sound of the vegetable brush in the oil pot was like a surprised Wu Fan's face: "Nanjing? The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, boss, good place! Then boss, you are from Jiangsu, why don't you open a Su restaurant? I haven't seen the boss, what kind of Su dish do you make for everyone to taste? Boss, don't you know? ”

It is said that the water in the south is soft and the water in the north is hard. Due to these differences, there is a large gap in the height of the residents of the north and the south, but although the boss dynasty is a southerner, he is still a tall man with a height of nearly one meter eight. It can be seen that the saying that one side of the water and soil supports the other side of the people is not permissive.

Boss Wang Chao flipped a few sparkling spoons, smiled at Wu Fan and said, "Joke, can Jiangsu people still cook Jiangsu food?" I've never seen a pig run and eaten pork, so it's not practical to open a vegetarian restaurant in Shenyang. First, there is not so much capital, and secondly, although Su cuisine occupies a place in the eight major cuisines, its popularity in the north is far less than that of Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine. The third is the ingredients, Jiangsu is the land of fish and rice, and the cooking is mainly fresh from rivers, lakes and seawater, although most of the ingredients can still be bought, but the taste is thousands of miles away. But if you want to eat it, I'll prepare it another day and give it to everyone. ”

"Hey, boss, I wrote it down, but don't talk and don't count." Wu Fan, who paused slightly, leaned towards the boss with a wicked smile on his face, and whispered: "Boss, how did such a beautiful boss lady get it?" β€œ

Boss Wang took the towel on his shoulder and whipped Wu Fan vigorously: "What do you mean?" It took me a lot of effort to stand out from your boss's many suitors! You must know that your boss lady was the flower of our East University. ”

Wu Fan glanced at the smug boss and mocked: "Don't be ashamed of the people in your thirties, boss, you stay in the back kitchen all day long, and you are not afraid that the boss will run away with others if the beautiful boss is still in front?" ”

"What's there to be afraid of, your boss's little calculation is in front of the counter all day long, thinking about that little account, for fear of losing her a dollar." The boss suddenly stopped, and whispered to Wu Fan: "Let me tell you, don't look at your boss's wife is good-looking, but that job is too bad." ”

Hearing this, Wu Fan looked at the boss with a pure face: "What's the job, boss?" I don't understand. ”

"You kid, don't pretend to be pure with me, I heard Lao Guo say that you slept in the middle of the night and looked at Xiu'er with aluminum plywood seams, what are you doing? I want to interpret my dreams for others! ”

The two men, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled, both very obscene.
