The owner's mom
At the beginning of the day, the night gradually darkened.
Hong Yu burned a table of dishes, sat down and waited for Zhou Fan and his mother, he was quite satisfied with his work, and took a bottle of good wine, wanting to make some atmosphere.
Zhou Fan was also busy here, changed into a set of chef's work clothes, and followed Hong Yu's mother into the back kitchen.
As soon as she entered the back kitchen, she learned that the other chefs in the back kitchen had gone out to look for work, but only the head chef was still staying and persevering.
The driver, Xiao Zhang, handed them the ingredients he had just bought, sat down and watched them busy, and played with his mobile phone.
"The waiters all worked until the end of this month, and I asked someone to find a job, but the boss didn't come, so I called, and he said let me wait, and someone took over the restaurant."
Zhou Fan dealt with the live shrimp, peeled the shell, went to the shrimp line and said, "I'm sorry for today's noon, I didn't hold back for a while, please don't take it to heart, I'm like this, I can't tolerate perfunctory cooking, the master didn't teach me, he never said that cooking is like being a person, take it seriously, make your own dishes, and do it with a heart that reassures yourself and satisfies customers, from beginning to end"
The head chef was a little ashamed that he helped Zhou Fan to start, Zhou Fan looked at the time, washed his hands, and plugged in the power supply of the rice that had been washed in advance.
"Actually, there was no business in the store, and I didn't buy ingredients, so I had to take out the dishes in the refrigerator and re-burn them, and I have been a chef for more than ten years, and I don't want to do this."
"Master, please help me put the jellyfish silk, change the water, and peel the lettuce, thank you"
Zhou Fan said politely, looked at Hong Yu's mother and said, "Auntie, there are four of us, simple, six dishes, two cold dishes, three hot dishes, and then soup, what do you think?" ”
Hong Yu's mother smiled and waved her hand and said, "You are in charge, I am responsible for eating, I will drink tea first and watch you do it"
Zhou Fan smiled and asked the head chef, "Master, is there green tea?" I'll make a pot, let's talk while we do, add a pot of good tea, beautiful"
"There is no green tea, but there is local tea, which is better than green tea, do you want it?"
Zhou Fan nodded, filled the kettle with water, made it on the gas stove, and the fire burned.
"Dididi"
The driver's phone rang, he ran outside to answer the phone, the kitchen stove was too loud, he couldn't hear the other party's voice.
"Auntie, why don't you go out and wait, after a while, there will be cooking and fumes, and I will choke you"
"It's okay, I just heard Hong Ling say that you learned it in Japan, and I also saw female chefs cooking, to see if it is the same as men, can you turn the spoon?"
"Yes, I've learned a little bit of fur, and I can't wait for the elegant hall"
As he spoke, he knocked the eggs, put in the salt, and started to fight quickly.
"My son also cooks, and you live with him in Japan, have you ever found out that he has had another woman or anything? Yuanyuan said that they haven't been dating for long, is it true? ”
Zhou Fan lowered his head and cleaned up the hairtail, cut it into oblique pieces with a kitchen knife, and was busy in his hands.
"I don't know, when I was in Japan, they didn't have a relationship, maybe it was after I returned to China! Yuanyuan is very good, and his language skills are strong, unlike me, I saw the living person fall directly"
Zhou Fan recalled the scene of meeting Hong Yu's mother for the first time, and his face turned red instantly, which was too rude.
"I heard Hong Ling say, you have to go to work and do housework in Japan, you are very diligent, you wash the clothes and shoes of the Shilang brothers and my son, and you clean the room, how did you do it?"
Zhou Fan turned around and poured a cup of boiling water, added it to the teapot, scalded it, poured it out again, put in the tea leaves, filled the kettle with hot water, and covered the lid.
"Simple, laundry with washing machine, cook their underwear again, we are all adults, the room will not be too messy, except for Shilang's, he often wears shirts, to be hot, not hot with wrinkles, he is also dead and stinky, often made a body of ink, it is difficult to wash to death, Shixuan's is okay, some of him will send it to the laundry, Uncle Hong's, he is all jeans, short sleeves, I just went to the summer when I went, it was very easy to clean up"
took out the needed plate, Zhou Fan cut the ingredients, prepared the cold dishes, and she put on a good-looking pose for her dishes.
Fry the fish on the fire, wrap the hairtail in egg wash, fry it on low heat, and she used a little lettuce to put it around the plate, the visual effect is very important, she doesn't want to be sloppy.
"My son can come back now, I never thought of it, I thought he wouldn't come back, he hated me, he didn't agree to his marriage back then, I too, my own son, my grandson, how did I do something like that? I regret it, otherwise my grandson would have been six or seven years old."
said, wiping her tears, annoyed by her behavior back then, after seeing other people's children running around her grandmother, she was still alone, there was Hong Ling before, and now she has her own home, she is the only one in everyone, she is lonely, lonely, and lonely.
"It's okay, in a few months, my aunt has a child, and you are busy, don't say it anymore when the time comes, you guys go quickly, it's noisy, and you won't let people sleep well"
Zhou Fan was cooking, persuading her from time to time, enlightening her, and understanding her mood at the same time.
is over half a hundred years old, and her children are not around, she has a nanny at home, and she is financially wealthy, but don't people like to have children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of family around her knees.
A table of dishes was served to the table, and the head chef didn't know where to take a bottle of bayberry wine, and no one poured a glass for them.
"You're still a chef? China is quite feudal, there are few women who are chefs, who did you learn from? ”
Zhou Fan took a sip of bayberry wine and said, "Don't laugh at me, I'm at most an upgraded version of a housewife, I can't be compared with the chef, your cooking skills just haven't been particularly well played, if there are fresh ingredients today, what you make is definitely not today's noon dish, come, taste the taste while it's hot, how about it taste compared to the home-cooked food at home?" ”
tasted a bite of Zhou Fan's cooked dishes, smiled and gave a thumbs up, and said, "In the future, your husband will be blessed, and he will eat the dishes you cook after work every day, and it is estimated that he will gain weight, and it will be unpalatable at night, not too rich"
Zhou Fan smiled, helped Hong Yu's mother pick a wider fish, helped her pick out all the fish bones, put them in her bowl, and took a pair of chopsticks again for her own use.
People in the city are exquisite, chopsticks are divided into chopsticks and self-chopsticks, and she has lived in Shilang's family, and she has also seen it.
Hong Yu's mother is very satisfied with Zhou Fan's behavior and speech, there is no wild spirit of rural people, and she also understands the general situation, she also tolerates in the face of such a mother-in-law, she is really sensible, her son can marry a woman like her who can understand the elderly and care about the elderly, she can be regarded as a blessing from her previous life.
"Lawyer Zhou called and asked, should we go back today?" The driver, Xiao Zhang, asked them, but he didn't dare to answer.
"Don't go back, chef, do you know any special scenery somewhere? Let's go shopping together, how about you come and be a tour guide, anyway, there is no business, it is better to close"
The head chef shook his head and said, "I can't close the door, if the boss comes, I'll be finished"
"Hahahaha"
Hong Yu's mother couldn't stop laughing, took out a booklet similar to a phone book from her purse, put on glasses, found her son's phone number, handed it to Xiao Zhang and said, "Call this number, I'll answer it"
Xiao Zhang put down his chopsticks, took the small notebook, pressed the number, and handed over the phone to his boss after dialing.
"Hong Yu, the head chef in your store is gone, and I will close the restaurant."
Hong Yu and the others are all big, and the wait is indeed a phone call, or his mother's phone.
"Did you go to Suzhou? Alone? ”
"You stupid! Isn't there a small sheet? More contact with Yuanyuan, more contact with young people, you also look young, more than ten years older than her, she doesn't dislike you, you still dislike her"
As soon as Hong Yu heard the name Liu Yuanyuan, he asked loudly, "What about Zhou Fan?" ”
"At my place, I just made a table of dishes, do you want to try it, it tastes good"
"You took her away, why didn't you say anything, I made me wait for a long time"
Hong Yu went upstairs, opened his cupboard, took two clothes, and went downstairs.
"Tomorrow Saturday, you invite Shilang's family, let's go to Taihu Lake in Suzhou to have a look, try Taihu Lake three fresh, just say I invited it"
When Zhou Fan heard that Shilang's family was also coming, he was overjoyed, and the worst thing was that Hong Yu was also coming.
"Got it, I'll be there tonight, take care of her, road idiot"
Hong Yu's mother looked at Zhou Fan, who was eating, and said with a smile, "I know, you are you, I don't know at all, pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, waste time in vain"
Seeing that she hung up the phone, Zhou Fan looked at her and said, "Auntie, I think I should call Yuanyuan and have more contact, right?" If they don't touch and don't create opportunities, how can they cultivate feelings? ”
When Hong Yu's mother heard her say that, she felt the same, and asked Xiao Zhang to call Liu Yuanyuan.
Zhou Fan helped her to the back kitchen and served a bowl of hot rice and said, "I'll help you serve less, it's not good to eat too much at night, drink more of this skirt vegetable soup, it tastes good, smooth and refreshing."
"Who are you the boss?" The head chef asked in surprise.
"I'm, aren't we like each other?"
