There is room for rebirth at 70: a loyal dog and a rough man’s strong pet

The chef in the state-owned hotel is considered a well-informed person, thinking in his heart while cooking.

He knew that the dish he was cooking must be good. His old mother suddenly fell ill a few days ago. She has lost her appetite these days and hasn't eaten much for several days, even the meat dishes he carefully prepared. , I couldn't eat anymore, and after a few days, I was already skin and bones.

Today's dish has a rich aroma, it smells fragrant but not greasy, and it also makes people feel comfortable all over.

If you can discuss with the three comrades who brought the food and ask for some chicken soup for my mother to drink, I should be able to recover faster, right?

The tangled look in his eyes slowly became firm. The master chef decided to take out the food himself when the dishes were served later and ask for their opinions. He couldn't secretly withhold other people's things himself!

His mother taught him since he was a child that taking something without asking is considered stealing, no matter what it is. She also warned him that he should never do anything against his conscience for temporary gain.

Therefore, he cannot do such shameful things. Regardless of whether others agree or not in the end, he must first seek their consent, instead of being like some people who do whatever it takes to achieve their own goals.

When he brought out a large pot of chicken stewed with potatoes with his own hands in an uneasy mood, he was surprised to find that one of the three people sitting outside was an acquaintance.

"Oh, it turns out to be Comrade Fang. Hello, hello." Seeing that it was Captain Fang whom he was familiar with, the chef suddenly felt at ease. It was easier to discuss anything between acquaintances.

Fang Kaixuan, who was eating and chatting with Li Jiancheng, turned around when he heard the sound, "Master Wang? You are such a busy person, why do you have time to come out?"

The chef surnamed Wang came over with a smile on his face, exchanged a few familiar greetings with Fang Kaixuan, and then nodded politely to Li Jiancheng and his wife, shaking hands and saying hello.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Master Wang looked at the three of them slightly awkwardly, sheepishly explained his purpose, and then looked at them expectantly.

Of course, he also said that in exchange, the other two dishes they ordered at the restaurant today would be charged to his account.

When Fang Kaixuan heard this, he thought it was nothing, it was just a little chicken soup, there was no need to let people spend money to buy it.

Just when I was about to agree, I suddenly remembered that this pheasant was a gift from the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Li family. Now, the couple has not eaten enough, so it would be a bit unreasonable to give it away like this.

So, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and just looked at Li Jiancheng and Shi Lingxi with questioning eyes.

Li Jiancheng also felt that this was a small matter. Although people now pay more attention to food, this comrade just wanted a little chicken soup for his sick old mother. If nothing else, just out of filial piety. Just worth the help.

As for them, a few young men, what can they do if they eat less?

Therefore, when Fang Kaixuan looked at him, he nodded in agreement.

Originally, Shi Lingxi didn't want to get involved in this matter. Anyway, the things had been sent out, and now they belonged to Fang Kaixuan, so it had nothing to do with them. He had the final say on how to deal with it.

But looking at the situation now, the young man Fang Kaixuan remained silent for a long time and looked embarrassed. This was completely unlike his usual behavior.

After thinking about it for a moment, I understood the reason.

Thinking of this, Shi Lingxi smiled slightly and said: "Captain Fang, thank you for your hospitality today. Based on the relationship between you and my third brother, we are all members of the same family, so you don't have to worry about anything, just do whatever you want."

Understanding what Shi Lingxi meant, Fang Kaixuan grinned and said, "Okay, listen to my sister-in-law."

After saying that, he smiled and asked Master Wang to quickly get a vessel to serve the soup.

Seeing that his unreasonable request was actually agreed to, Chef Wang's eyes couldn't help but mist. He didn't expect that they would agree so readily.

Gratefully, he shook hands with the two grown men again, expressed his gratitude profusely, and bowed to Shi Lingxi. Then he turned around and trotted back, taking out an aluminum lunch box.

Maybe he felt that the lunch box he was taking was a bit big, so he was embarrassed to explain: "My lunch box is a bit big, just put a little in it for me. I'm old and sick, so I can't eat more."

Fang Kaixuan joined the army as a young man. He has been in the army for more than ten years and has a high level of ideological consciousness.

At this moment, no matter what Chef Wang said, he just picked up the soup ladle, first filled up several pieces of chicken, then several spoons of soup, filled the lunch box, and then let go of the hand that had been holding Chef Wang's arm. Said: "Okay, brother, everyone has parents, don't say anything extra, just send it back to aunt as soon as possible. I hope aunt will recover soon."

Looking at the full lunch box in his hand, the chef surnamed Wang looked at them movedly. Without saying anything else, he took two steps back, bowed deeply, and then went to the kitchen to explain. He went back first in a hurry.

Looking at his back, the three of them sighed and then started talking about something else.

When they were about to leave, they discovered that Chef Wang had already paid for the meal. They wanted to keep the money, but they refused to take it. They also said they couldn't charge twice for one meal. If they had to keep the money, If you don't, then you are forcing others to make principled mistakes.

This is serious. People have said this. Of course they can't throw away their money anymore. You know, although the current situation is a little looser than in previous years, people still dare not take it lightly. They can't do it just for this reason. It's okay, don't hurt others anymore.

Holding the big knot in his hand, Fang Kaixuan grinned helplessly and had no choice but to forget it for now, thinking of returning it to the chef named Wang when he had the opportunity.

The three people left the hotel and went their separate ways. Shi Lingxi and Li Jiancheng were preparing to leave the city and go home. Fang Kaixuan was dizzy because he had drunk some wine. Today was the weekend again, so he didn't need to go to the bureau to keep an eye on them. Went home and went to bed.
