Life is a Game

Tan Weizhou's cooking is very slow, it looks like a video adjusted to 0.5 times speed, everything is done slowly, with a kind of slowness of the elderly.

Jiang Feng glanced at the wall clock on the wall when he was wandering around the Tan's small restaurant before. It is not yet 4 o'clock. Generally, restaurants do not open until after 5 o'clock. Private restaurants are more random, even at 6 or 7 o'clock It's only just opened and no diners will say anything.

Tan Weizhou has been busy since 3 o'clock, just because he is the only chef in Tan's restaurant.

Compared with Ji Xue who is in charge of washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, doing other chores, cleaning, and even washing dishes, Tan Weizhou actually has a lot more work.

Tan Lin and his wife, in order to prevent outsiders from stealing Tan Weizhou's pottery chicken, never allow others to participate in the production of pottery chicken, and even wish that every dish is only handled by Tan Weizhou, regardless of the health of Tan Weizhou, who is over 60 years old. Eat well.

This kind of son is worse than a barbecued pork.

On the way, Jiang Feng left the back kitchen and went to the front desk for a walk, saying that he was going to get Wenwen—maybe the daughter-in-law Tan Weizhou's granddaughter had called to help—sitting at the front desk laughing and watching TV, forgetting what he just said Two clean.

When Jiang Feng returned to the back kitchen again, Ji Xue had already finished cutting the vegetables and washing the bowls—the bowls left over from Tan's small restaurant after opening at noon had been piled up in the sink without washing, and Jiang Feng didn't know that Tan Lin and his wife What's going on in Tiantian's mind, do they still want Tan Weizhou to be in charge of washing dishes?

What Jiang Feng didn't know was that, of course, Tan Lin wasn't so whimsical that he could let his father in his 60s wash the dishes after cooking, but he had a daughter.

Tan Wenwen has always been the one doing the dishes washing for such a long period of time since the helper Sister Hong hired in the Tan Family Restaurant resigned until Ji Xue came to work today.

Tan Lin can not only squeeze his father, but also his daughter.

After Ji Xue finished washing the dishes, she didn't know what she could do.

Tan's small restaurant has a good reputation in the city, as long as anyone in the catering industry knows it, Ji Xue has already heard of it. She was a little afraid of Tan Lin's wife, and a little afraid of Tan Weizhou.

"Master Tan, I...what do I need to do now?" Ji Xue asked.

Tan Weizhou had been doing the preparatory work for the pottery flower carving chicken before and didn't pay attention to what Ji Xue was doing. Seeing Ji Xue asked him something, he looked over to Ji Xue and found that Ji Xue not only cut vegetables, but also washed the dishes.

"Little girl, you don't need to wash it..." Tan Weizhou said something, and suddenly remembered something, and the expression on his face seemed a little tangled, "If you want, you can wash it."

"Then what about me now?" Ji Xue continued to ask.

"Can you cut meat?" Tan Weizhou asked.

"Yes!" Ji Xue nodded impatiently.

"Cut that piece of beef into shreds," Tan Weizhou said.

Ji Xue began to cut the beef.

Ji Xue was burying her head in cutting the beef seriously, but she didn't notice that Tan Weizhou actually stopped her hands to watch her cut it. Tan Weizhou watched for a while, his original serious expression eased a lot, and he continued to do his own thing.

Until after 5 o'clock, Tan's small restaurant began to have customers who had made reservations in advance. Tan Lin's daughter-in-law came in several times to ask about the food, but she didn't have any intention of helping, and she went out after asking. When the dishes are ready, Ji Xue takes them out. She has two jobs as a kitchen staff and a waiter, but she doesn't seem to be able to get two salaries.

Tan Wenwen finally arrived at Tan's restaurant at around seven o'clock. She came to wash the dishes. As soon as Tan Wenwen stepped into the door of Tan's small restaurant, her mother grabbed her and dragged her into the warehouse, scolded her, and then rushed to the back kitchen to help. Tan Wenwen kept her face shrugged all the way until before eating, and she didn't have any communication with Ji Xue.

It was not until after dinner at eight o'clock in the evening that Tan Lin came late with his son. Tan Lin had these two children. Tan Wenwen was a few years older than Ji Xue, and his son looked a few years older than Ji Xia. The age difference between the Tan family sisters and the Ji family sisters should be about the same.

The dinner was still made by Tan Weizhou, and it was quite sumptuous, probably because of the Chinese New Year, there were all kinds of fish, meat and seafood, and the plate of boiled shrimp in the center of the table was even more beautifully arranged.

"Why did you come back so late, and you went out to fool around with your son?" Tan Lin's daughter-in-law said dissatisfiedly. Tan Lin came so late that no one helped with the food. Although she only served 6 tables, she still felt very dissatisfied. .

Although he was dissatisfied with her husband, she still smiled happily when facing her son, Tan Lin, and his daughter-in-law. The smile she showed was the most sincere and brightest smile Jiang Feng had seen since seeing her today.

"Ruirui, did your dad take you to the zoo today to have fun?"

"happy!"

Tan Wenwen looked at the side and her face became gloomy again, obviously sulking.

"Didn't the zoo close at 6 o'clock? Why did you come back so late?" Tan Lin's daughter-in-law changed her face instantly when she faced Tan Lin.

"It's not that Ruirui clamored to eat barbecue. I ordered it and didn't eat it all. Let me eat it alone. Let me see what I eat today. Oh, Dad, why do you cook this for the Chinese New Year? This boiled shrimp is usually cooked. After Chinese New Year, can't you change to a new pattern?" Although Tan Lin doesn't work, he is quite demanding.

After complaining about the dishes on the table, Tan Lin noticed Ji Xue. Tan Lin was there when Ji Xue came to apply for the job last time. When he saw him, he knew what happened. Without saying a word, he dragged his wife into the warehouse.

It wasn't tight when closing the door.

"Did that girl come today?" Tan Lin asked.

"Yes, I came this afternoon. Why, are you not happy? I don't usually see you helping out in the store. I'm so exhausted from serving dishes every day, and I have to go to the back kitchen to wash and chop vegetables. That damn girl Wen Wen didn't know where she went today, she didn't come until after seven o'clock."

"Who wants to hear you say this, how is she doing in the back kitchen this afternoon?" Tan Lin was obviously a little impatient to hear his daughter-in-law talking nonsense.

"What's the matter, I don't know, I didn't stay in the back kitchen."

"You didn't stay in the back kitchen?" Tan Lin raised his voice immediately, and the people outside heard it more clearly in an instant, "You just let that girl stay in the back kitchen with Dad all afternoon? Do you know if she came to steal She learns to peek, so you're so relieved to let her stay with dad?"

"Just a little girl, what can I learn secretly?"

"What did you learn secretly? The girl is very shrewd now, she looks honest on the surface, but she can't tell what she looks like behind her back. I remember that her family runs a restaurant, and her colleagues are enemies, do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, what are you doing with such a loud voice, be careful not to be heard by outsiders. I'll go to the back kitchen tomorrow, okay, you are in the store and outside."

"Isn't there still Wenwen? What am I doing in the store?"

"..."

The couple chatted vigorously in the warehouse, but the people outside were extremely embarrassed. Tan Weizhou's face was gloomy, and Ji Xue's face was flushed. I don't know if it was because of shame or anger. Even Tan Wenwen, who had been unhappy before, looked a little embarrassed at this time, embarrassed to see Ji Xue, so she could only pretend to be deeply attracted by the dishes on the table, and kept staring at the plate of boiled shrimp.

Tan Rui didn't react at all when he was young, and sat at the dining table waiting for dinner.

After a while, the couple came out of the warehouse with normal expressions, completely unaware that the wonderful conversation between the two of them had been clearly heard by outsiders.

"Well, boss, can I pack some food and take it home to eat. My sister is still at home, it's too late now, my parents are not at home, I'm afraid she will be scared at home alone." Ji Xue whispered, head down.

Tan Lin's daughter-in-law was a little unhappy, and her tone was not very good: "The packing boxes in the store are used up."

"I have a lunch box in the kitchen. You can pack it in my lunch box and return it to me tomorrow. If you want to pack it in the future, you can bring your own lunch box." Tan Wenwen said suddenly.

"Thanks."

"There are some overcooked leftovers in the kitchen, you can pack the kitchen dishes." Tan Weizhou said.

"Thanks."

"Dad, why do you cook too much when you stir-fry? What a waste, besides, if you stir-fry too much, you can just put it out on a plate, and everyone can eat it together." Tan Lin has something to say at this time said.

Tan Weizhou glanced at him: "You didn't say that before, don't let me fool you with leftovers?"

Tan Lin coughed in embarrassment.

Tan Wenwen led Ji Xue into the back kitchen, and took out a pink plastic lunch box from the cabinet.

"When I go to school, I usually use this lunch box to bring my lunch to school. My grandfather is worried about letting me eat the food in the cafeteria. He always feels that the food in the cafeteria is not clean." Tan Wenwen explained.

There was a plate on the kitchen table, and there were some leftovers from Tan Weizhou's frying on the plate. In fact, they are just some leftovers, the taste is the same, but the appearance is not good-looking, it is not convenient to put on the plate, there are both meat and vegetables, and they are piled together on the plate like a hodgepodge.

Tan Wenwen helped Ji Xue scoop half of the lunch into the lunch box, then poured all the dishes into the lunch box, and handed the lunch box to her.

"Go back quickly. I didn't talk to you just now not because I had a problem with you, but because I was in a bad mood. Thank you for helping me wash the dishes at noon." Tan Weiwei said.

"Thank you." Ji Xue whispered, smiling at Tan Wenwen.
