People are afraid of analyzing themselves, and analyzing themselves is a difficult and painful thing.
My name is my own, but I am always called by others.
Whether you look good or not is up to you to judge whether you look good or not. Only when everyone says you look good can you look good.
We always criticize others with a scrutinizing look, commenting on their good and bad qualities, but we pass them by ourselves.
When one day you look at yourself through the eyes of others and conduct a deep analysis of yourself, you will find that you are not as good as others and have many mistakes, some of which are heinous.
People need to reflect. Lenin said that when a person starts to reflect, he will enter a great starting point.
Lao Tan said that he was hypocritical, but Zhang Li didn't say anything. After a while, he asked Lao Tan what he was going to do with Yaru. Was he going to be with Lao Huang like her without registering or getting a certificate, or was he just waiting with his arms stretched out?
Over time.
Lao Tan told Zhang Li what he and Yaru were thinking. After hearing this, Zhang Li said: "I don't think you two can be together in the end. It's not that I'm venomous. Let's put it this way. When you get better, son
It takes three and a half years to go to college.
At that time, Yaru's son will get married and start a business. Can she wait for you until then? Besides, after hearing what she said, she has no intention of looking for you again. She wants to live alone.
In fact, you are too. You have been tortured by an unhappy marriage for half your life. How could you find a divorce so quickly after finally getting divorced? I guess you have a shadow now."
Lao Tan smiled and said, "You are about to become a psychiatrist."
During the New Year, I could only find big restaurants, and almost all small restaurants were closed, so everyone went home to celebrate the New Year.
Lao Tan chose Northeast Courtyard, which is very close to the Chishan Road store. Northeast Courtyard is almost a replica of the Guandong restaurant, only smaller in size. When his home was being renovated, he approached Lao Tan and wanted to hire him as the head chef.
At that time, Lao Tan was planning to build a Chishan Road store, but he didn't agree.
His family's business is very good, surpassing that of other people in Guandong.
When Lao Tan and Zhang Li came in, Brother Liu and Brother Li were already waiting in the private room. When they arrived, they started serving food.
There are four dishes in total, namely old-fashioned pot-roasted pork, Northeastern pork-killing vegetables, steamed pig blood, and Northeastern fried skin. The dishes taste good and authentic, and the portions are large. Four people can't eat the four dishes.
The wine is from Xiaoshao. Although it is not as mellow as Ah Qiao, it is still good.
Zhang Li, Brother Liu and Brother Li are also old friends and have nothing to say to each other.
Brother Li said to Zhang Li: "Look at your old man Huang. Didn't he go to the funeral? I went too. I didn't go to the restaurant to eat. I came here after coming back from the crematorium."
"Oh, why did you go?" Zhang Li asked, meaning that Brother Li's age should have nothing to do with the deceased old man.
"That's my colleague's father." Brother Li said.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was wondering why you left." Zhang Li suddenly realized.
There is a jug of wine in front of each person, and everyone fills it up.
Lao Tan made the first drink, and the four of them drank together.
Brother Liu likes to eat steamed pig blood, so Lao Tan put the steamed pig blood in front of him.
Brother Liu said: "His steamed pig blood is delicious, better than the ones from Guandong."
Lao Tan said: "The chef in his family is from Guandong. Can he steam it well?"
Zhang Li asked: "Are you talking about Master Zhang?"
Lao Tan nodded and said, "I got a salary increase of 1,000 yuan and got three younger brothers. Can you not come? Money can make all the difference."
Brother Li put a piece of blood sausage in his mouth and ate it while saying: "People from Guandong are not as good as those from Northeast China. The vegetable water soup has no taste at all, and it is not discounted. The beer is dry and refreshing."
, or Qingdao Chunsheng, Lao Xue doesn’t have it at all, if you want to drink it, go out and buy it yourself, no one wants to go there.”
Brother Liu said: "My brother still has to manage it. Once my brother leaves, it won't be able to do anything anymore."
Zhang Li said: "Then what else are you talking about? Who is Lao Tan?" Then she glanced at Lao Tan and asked slyly: "Really?"
Lao Tan laughed at himself and said: "I don't have that much ability." Then he continued: "It's normal for Guandong people to go downhill. When I left, I followed some people, like Zhongqing and Huaqing brothers.
The mainstay.
When you, Li Shuang, and Zhou Xiaomei left, some people followed them, and they were all the mainstays. If the senior management and the mainstays were gone, what would be left?
In addition, Boss Xu is stingy, smart but narrow-minded, and is too good at calculations. He keeps calculating and calculating, and it would be strange if it doesn't go downhill."
"What you said is right. The main reason is that Boss Xu is too shrewd." Zhang Li took a sip of wine and continued: "The most right thing he did was to invite you back for the second time; the last thing he did was to invite you back for the second time."
The wrong thing is not using you when you are sick.
He thought it was okay, since business had picked up anyway, it was the same with you and without you. You just happened to be vomiting blood, and it was not certain whether you would recover, so someone took advantage of your illness to kill you, and it was so destructive.
He thought that you wouldn't take anyone with you when you left, and you really didn't take anyone with you. But just because you don't take him with you doesn't mean that they won't leave. The main reason is that he doesn't pay attention to what he does, so people don't dare to follow him.
He does it.
After you left, first I, then Li Shuang, then Zhongqing Huaqing, followed by a large number of middle managers and employees, all left. For example, the foreman on the second floor is now the store manager of Suzhou Central Kitchen Store
, I would rather work as a waiter at the Chishan Road store than the foreman at his house, which illustrates the problem."
Lao Tan said: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how you say that the Guandong family is an old shop in Santaizi and has a good foundation, it doesn't mean it won't work. Now his family can sell about 70,000 yuan a day. If they don't lose money, they just make a profit."
A little less.
In addition, there are many banquets on Saturdays and Sundays, so most of the wedding guests will go to his house, so it’s okay.”
Brother Li said: "His family's current wedding reception is not as good as the Northeastern compound. They just occupy a large place and a spacious venue. The wedding hall is straight, and the lights, sound and big screen are smashing people. Otherwise, it won't work."
Brother Liu said: "Nowadays, weddings are all about pomp and ceremony. It doesn't matter whether you eat or not. Do you think there are still many people who rush to eat at the banquet? It's not like in the past, when people didn't have any fat in their stomachs and would eat as much as they could to catch up with the ceremony."
Drink for several meals at a time.
I remember that my wedding was held at home. I lived in a bungalow at that time, and I started preparing for it in the first few days. On the day of the wedding, we started sitting down at ten o'clock, and we all ate alone with the whole family, adults and children together.
At that time, I was afraid that the food would not be enough to eat, so I always added more vegetables.
Hey, it was really difficult at that time. All the gifts were three yuan or two, and the biggest gift was ten yuan. Some of them didn't take any money at all, but just got a thermos, a standing mirror, a pillow cover, a washbasin, a quilt, etc. ---
---"
Brother Li continued what Brother Liu said: "It will be better when I get married. The gifts are basically fifty, a good one hundred, and two hundred are very rare. Those must be direct relatives, sisters.
Brother or something.
But one person eats it with the whole family, and the children and adults all come together, so I’m afraid it will be embarrassing if the food is short and the table is empty.”
Lao Tan also wanted to talk about the banquet at his wedding, but Zhang Li was present so he didn't say anything, but the wedding scene emerged in front of his eyes.
It is said that the smoothness of the wedding day and what happened determine whether the couple can live a lifetime. On the day of Lao Tan's wedding, Lin Yan was so angry that she tore off the red words "Happy" on the window for some unknown reason. He didn't know at the time that it would be Lin Yan later.
I only found out after I let it slip once.
He thought that the divorce from Lin Yan might have been destined for a long time, maybe on the wedding day.
Zhang Li didn't go when Lao Tan returned to the provincial capital from his hometown to treat guests after getting married. She came three days later. She was drunk that day, and when Lao Tan sent her home, she pointed to her heart and said, "Lao Tan,
I hurt, I hurt—"
"Hey! What are you thinking about? Drinking."
Zhang Li called Lao Tan out of his dazed state. Lao Tan smiled sheepishly, picked up the wine glass, touched it with the three of them one by one, and drank it all in one gulp.
