Three-zero-six
During the meal, Teacher Yu asked me, "What have you been busy with lately?" Do you have any work? β
"I'm learning to drive, I haven't gone to work yet, I want to go back to work in a while."
"Are you learning to drive? Okay, I didn't expect that you had done such a big thing these days. There is appreciation in Teacher Yu's words. How's it going? Where have you learned? β
"I've already taken the third subject, and I can get the book after the fourth subject." I said with some excitement.
"Really? It seems that the taxi is really impressed every three days. If you even finish the subject three exams, then there is no problem at all, so it can be said that it is a matter of effort. Teacher Yu said, "You are learning so fast. Not to mention that you are so old, even young people can learn as fast as you do. Teacher Yu said.
In fact, I don't think what he said is polite, I think the same way, almost most of the people we learn to drive together are young people, but they really don't have a few like me who have passed the first three subjects at one time, and many of them have passed the test a few times. Even Zhang Xu thinks he is a smart person, but none of the four subjects have been tested once, less than twice, and more than three times.
"It's just luck." I'm kind enough to say.
"Of course, it's not just luck, if you don't practice well, even if you're lucky, it's impossible to get by. Besides, I've heard that all the books are taken in computer exams nowadays, and if you make a small mistake, you will be deducted points, so if you don't study well, you won't be able to pass. β
"Well, it's a computer-based exam."
"Then you have a four-part appointment?"
"It's already an appointment, and I can take the exam in less than half a month." I say.
"That's really good, when you learn it, I'll find you to drive it when I drink in the future."
"You dare to ask me to drive the car, how bold do you be? There are many people who have passed the test, but they are afraid to go on the road. β
We chatted like this, but we only cared about talking, and we didn't care about whether the food was delicious or not. γ
At this time, Teacher Yu suddenly said: "I'm patronizing and talking to you, and I don't know how your dishes are doing, I have to taste them." As he spoke, he took a bite of the dish I had made and put it in his mouth, I looked at his expression, and saw that he was tasting it carefully, I thought, it must be in line with his taste, it seems that the food I made is okay.
While I was waiting for him to draw a conclusion, he looked at my face and said to me, "You are really polite, where is the food you cook unpalatable?" That'sβ" Before he could say any more, I asked anxiously, "How?" It's okay, right? "Because I saw his expression, and what he didn't say, I knew he must be eating well.
But then he said something that surprised me: "It's really unpalatable, you say it's unpalatable, that's really a bit polite." As soon as his words fell, I saw his expression, is that a pain?
"Is it that unpalatable?" I also took a bite and put it in my mouth and tasted it carefully, "Is that as serious as you said?" I think it's okay. "Actually, I eat a little salter than before, and the rest is nothing, and the dishes I cook are like this, although I know it's not delicious, but it's not like what he said, so looking at his expression, I think he is deliberately exaggerating.
"I'd like to get a taste of what your food tastes like." With that said, I also took a bite of the chicken wings he made. Put it in your mouth and take a bite.
"Teacher Yu's dish is reallyβ" He, like me, stared at my face, waiting for me to find something to disparage him. γ
Seeing his eagerly waiting expression, I asked him, "Do you want to hear the truth?" Or do you want to hear a lie? β
"Of course it's true."
"To tell you the truth, your food is really delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious dish." I say. When Teacher Yu saw me say such a thing, he let out a long breath and said to me, "You scared me to death, I thought it was really not delicious." β
I really didn't expect that Mr. Yu, a big man, would actually make such delicious dishes, I thought that my brother and Zhang Xu would be delicious enough to cook, but it was really not as delicious as him. Probably because my own cooking is not delicious, so I think that whoever cooks is delicious, and as for the dishes made by Mr. Yu, for me, it is simply delicious in the world.
"Teacher Yu, I really don't understand, why do you say your food is so delicious? Have you ever studied cooking before? The chefs I've ever eaten don't make half as good as yours. I'm telling the truth, not slapping your ass. "Say it sincerely.
"Of course I know you're telling the truth, it's not just that you say my food is delicious, everyone who has eaten my food says it's delicious." He didn't say anything to me.
"How do you make it so delicious?" I asked the same question again.
"I didn't have anything to do all day long, and when I got home, I had to study how to eat. Don't you know? In fact, we Beijingers are the most particular about eating, and I not only pay attention to eating, but also like to study how to make good food. So I don't like other people's cooking. I just like to eat what I cook. β
"Then you told me that your food was not delicious, and I thought it was true? Look at your honest appearance, you really don't have a word of truth when you speak. β
"Be modest, if I tell you that I make it delicious, and when you finish eating it, then how shameless will I be?"
So while we were eating, we studied how to cook and cook deliciously. Although he didn't like to eat the food I cooked, he didn't know if it was out of politeness or whatever, and he didn't eat less. Actually, after I ate two of his dishes, I found that the food I made was really not delicious, and if I had the opportunity in the future, I would have to learn cooking from him.
The two of us were eating and drinking wine, and to outsiders, it seemed like they were close friends, but in fact, both of us knew that we were just having a meal together, and I would not marry again, and I would certainly not marry again. For the sake of his wife, he hasn't married for so many years, it is impossible not to marry when he was young, and now he is in his forties.
Since neither of them has a home, and they both hold the determination that you don't marry and I don't marry, there is no awkward atmosphere when they eat together, and there is no obstacle at all and no worries when they talk like sexual confidants. It is said that there is no real friendship between men and women, but in my opinion, the relationship between me and Teacher Yu is a real friendship. Just when we were happy to eat and talk happily, Zhang Xu came back.
Hearing the sound of the door, I looked up and saw Zhang Xu coming in from outside the gate, I found that he glanced at my room, and it used to be, as long as I was at home, I found that he always looked into my house when he came back, probably curious about what I was doing, right?
