Chapter 22: The Taste of Mother
After the launch of the original flavor tofu, the business of the Peony Pavilion became more and more popular, and some people who came to eat it specially went to several other shops that could make the original flavor tofu such as Fengyulou in order to eat it as soon as possible. Seeing that the attendance rate returned to the previous level, the bosses of those companies were even more obedient to Yan Fei's words.
This year's summer is extraordinarily hot, occasionally blowing a breeze, but what is sent is not refreshing, but a heat wave, this period of heat stroke is particularly many people, the city government issued an order to avoid summer vacation, most of the people are not hiding at home to blow cold air fans, or drill into the shopping mall to blow central air conditioning.
At Yan Fei's suggestion, several restaurants in Peony Pavilion and Fengyulou provide free iced sour plum soup and chilled mung bean soup for the public. Yan Fei saw that there were still many people queuing up to eat, so he told Wang He to let her put up a shade cloth at the door (sometimes people are really desperate for the same thing they want).
Today's weather is still hot, the team is still hot, and the people in line outside took a small fan and waited while fanning. In this queue, there is a pregnant woman with a big belly, holding a small fan in her hand while fanning at the head of the line, and it just so happened that Yan Fei handed out chilled mung bean soup to the customers in the queue, and happened to see her sweating in the heat. "This lady, are you waiting?" Yan Fei asked softly. "Of course, I've been queuing for a long time to eat your food." The pregnant woman replied. Yan Fei looked at the front after listening, and then motioned to the pregnant woman to wait for him for a while. He entered the restaurant and told the waiter to leave a private room, and then walked out again, shouting at the pregnant woman: "Mrs. Lin, I'm really sorry, all this is our negligence, just now Mr. Lin specially called to ask if you have arrived, then I know, you please come with me, Mr. Lin has already booked the place for you before." After speaking, he winked at the pregnant woman, and the pregnant woman just wanted to say that she was not, and Mrs. Lin swallowed back when she saw him blinking continuously.
Yan Fei led the pregnant woman into the private room and said, "This lady, the air conditioning here is just right, please sit down, please ask what you need." "That's not good, and besides, I haven't booked a private room, so it will cost a lot of money." The pregnant woman said with some concern. "This lady, don't worry, this is our special service to you, and the private room fee is free, can you order now?" Yan Fei said softly. "Thank you so much, I really want to eat sour today, I want to eat vinegared cabbage made for me by my mother, I don't know if you have it in this big hotel, you just give me two sour dishes." Said the pregnant woman. "Please wait, the dishes will be ready for you soon." Out of the private room door, Yan Fei instructed the waiter to give him room temperature water, and he went into the kitchen.
Mother's taste, every mother has her own taste, but what kind of taste will belong to her mother? Mom's taste, mom yes, mom is not the one who will stand behind herself and support herself no matter how difficult she is, no matter how ugly and incomplete she is, she will not dislike herself, no matter what she does wrong, she will not blame herself, she is our sun, always give us a warm feeling, yes, this is the taste of mom Mom's feeling.
Finding the direction, Yan Fei began to make delicacies. He gave a lot of love to each dish of this package, gave a lot of feelings, and after the whole package was done, the kitchen was filled with a warm feeling of love, which made people want to close their eyes and enjoy this moment, the dishes were served away by the plate, and the kitchen was still filled with that smell, at this time the chefs in the kitchen stopped their work, they were feeling the warmth, and the miracle was even more exaggerated, standing there and shedding tears. Yan Fei asked, "What's the matter, what are you crying about?" ”。“ Boss, it's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I hadn't been home for a long time, and I missed my mom a little. Miracle wiped a handful of tears and said. Got it, I'm not so busy in a while, I'm going to take your big vacation. Yan Fei said. Okay, you're busy, I'll go see the guests. "Boss, you haven't taught us what you just cooked." Miracle said later. "The dish is very ordinary, put love in it, and it will be full of this taste." Yan Fei said a word and pushed the door and left.
Coming to the private room where the pregnant woman was, Yan Fei faintly heard someone crying in the room, "Madam, can I go in." Yan Fei asked. Inside, there was a voice from within, "Please come in." The pregnant woman said. Excuse me, madam, is it because we cook a dish that is not to your taste, or if there is something uncomfortable about you? Yan Fei said. No, the food was delicious, I just missed my mom and dad a little bit. The pregnant woman said. So you haven't been home in a long time. Yan Fei asked. yes, I haven't been home since I got married. My husband and I are both outsiders, and my family was against us being together at first, because he was poor and had no money, so I didn't listen to them and eloped with him resolutely, and came to this city, at first we shared a house with others, and we couldn't eat meat a month, so I didn't talk to my family, I was afraid that they would know where I was and get me back. The two of us worked hard for a year, rented a one-bedroom apartment, and the wages we earned had no problem eating meat. After another two years, I found out that I was pregnant, he first asked me to quit my job after I found out, he said that he could support our mother, and he began to work day and night, the whole person was thin, last month he handed me a key, he said to me this is my promise to you this is the home I gave you, it turned out that he secretly took several jobs, and with the money he earned bought me a small apartment, gave me a home, a home that belonged to the two of us, and he did it. But my pregnancy reaction is very serious, he is busy every day, I want him to rest more, I didn't let him take care of it, but recently I especially want to eat sour, and a little homesick, I want to eat the dishes made by my mother, I saw on the Internet on TV that the dishes made by your family are particularly authentic, and the price is fair, I just want to break the bank, so eat well, and the thoughts of home may be lighter, but just after eating a bite of the dishes in your restaurant, I can't help it, I miss home, I miss my mother. She began to cry again as she spoke. Then give a call home, don't you have to contact home for the rest of your life? Yan Fei asked. But I ran out secretly with him, and the family must have been angry at the time, maybe they had to break off the father-daughter relationship with me or something, how could I be embarrassed to call home. The pregnant woman said guiltily. You know, the name of this set meal is Mommy's Taste, I don't know what you ate in it. Yan Fei guided. I ate out of my thoughts, out of my care, out of love, and out of my mother's taste. The pregnant woman replied. You are right, mother's longing, care and love for her children will not change because of other external factors, you are also a mother now, if your child does the same thing as you in the future, will you blame him/her, call home, I believe your parents will not blame you. Yan Fei said earnestly and comfortingly, after saying that, Yan Fei also retreated, and at the door he heard the sound of a pregnant woman talking to others coming out of the house, and crying, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong, no, no, no, it's my daughter I was wrong, I shouldn't have been disobedient at the beginning, I'm living a good life now, well, he bought me a house, and Mom, you're going to be a grandmother." Yan Fei smiled, smiling very happily, just like after cooking for the two pairs of old men last time, he took another step towards his dream.
"Brother Yan, someone is looking for you outside." Liu Na stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted at Yan Fei, who was stir-frying. When he came outside, it turned out that the pregnant woman was looking for him, "Madam, do you need anything else?" Yan Fei asked. No, I'm here to thank you, thank you for giving me courage, my mother said to come and take care of me, to make me delicious every day, thank you, thank you for making my mother's taste. With that, she left.
Liu Na leaned over and said, "Boss, what is the taste of mother, why is she okay to thank you." ”。“ Go and go, less gossip, no more alive, right? Yan Fei pretended to be serious. Liu Na stuck out her tongue and left. "Boss Yan, can you tell me what mother's taste is?" I don't know when Wang He came to his side. "You laugh at me too, and see how I clean you up." After speaking, he was about to pounce on Wang He. "Don't make a fuss, there are so many people, you better recruit from the truth, what's the smell of that mother." Wang He laughed. "That's how things are," Yan Fei told Wang He what had happened. "Is it so mysterious, I don't believe it, just a few home-cooked side dishes can make a person like that." Wang He said. "Then Miss, let's go, I'll let you see and see." Yan Fei said. After "walking" After speaking, the two of them entered the kitchen one after the other, and after less than twenty minutes, the kitchen once again wafted out the reassuring smell, and at the same time, Wang He's exclamation came out: "How can this dish taste the same as the dishes made by my mother when I was a child, I miss it so much, Yanfei, how did you do it, did my mother teach you by herself, she has not cooked by herself for many years." ”。“ How is it possible, you didn't take me to recognize the family, who did I learn from, how about it, this is the taste of mother. Yan Fei said. Yan Fei, you are really a genius, I see that this series of dishes can enter the special menu of our store like the original flavor of tofu, and it can be interpreted like this later, do you remember the taste of your mother when you were a child, it has not changed, it grows with your mother's love with you and me. Wang He said. Don't say anything, my dear, you're also a genius, this sales level is high, it's really high. Yan Fei patted his ass.
