"Hey, I really don't know how the people in the village live."
Zhang Wentao visited the two places he wanted to visit. Feeling very bored, he returned to the courtyard without staying for a while, called the French chef, chatted for a few words, and then started to pack his luggage.
.
It's okay if I don't put it away, but when I put it away, I find that there are a lot of clothes that need to be washed.
One of the big reasons why he likes to stay in hotels is that he doesn't have to wash his own clothes. When he first went to France, he had to do everything by himself, and small things like washing his clothes were no exception.
But with the increase in income and the usual busy work, he usually saves dirty clothes for a period of time and takes them to the laundry except underwear.
When I returned to China, even though I traveled on a budget with a madman for a while, doing laundry was really annoying.
Especially, if there is no washing machine, rub it by hand...
I remember that when I was just eighteen years old, I felt very confused because I had not been admitted to college. So I often locked myself in the room and never came out.
When I’m bored, I watch TV series on my laptop and eat the prepared meals in front of my computer.
At that time, there was already the Korean Wave, and he didn't pay much attention to music, but he really liked watching Korean TV dramas, especially idol dramas.
A TV series called "Witch Yoo Hee" attracted Han Jiaren because of her beauty.
But as the plot unfolded, what really attracted him was the character of Cai Wulong played by Jae Hee, a young man with a handsome appearance, gentle temperament and full of ideals.
Cai Wulong's dream is to become a first-class master of Western cuisine, so he dropped out of medical school and gradually became an outstanding chef through his own efforts.
At that time, Zhang Wentao, who was still young and had just encountered setbacks in life, seemed to have found the direction of his life after watching the TV series on the screen and thinking about how happy he would be if he could cook all kinds of delicious dishes for his loved ones every day.
He began to look up various cooking methods for Western food, and gradually he found that he began to like cooking. However, since he had not studied any chef-related majors, he could only hit the wall everywhere, and finally found a part-time job in a most ordinary simple restaurant.
This blind and reckless behavior caused a great conflict between him and his mother, who hoped that he could repeat his studies for a year. The two had no communication for a long time.
It took him a long time to convince his father to support his favorite job and use his family's savings to support his study in France.
He also paid for nearly half of the language school fees before going abroad. After finishing his work in the kitchen every day, he would go to the training location to learn the language in the evening.
In the restaurant he was working at at the time, the monthly salary he could get was only about 1,800.
It was precisely after seeing his son frugally living for his dream that Father Zhang, as a father, was sure that his son was not a fool and persuaded Mother Zhang.
Before leaving, the washing machine at home suddenly broke.
In order to save some money, Zhang's mother, who was already getting older, asked her son to bring a few more euros to go there. She washed a change of clothes in the bathroom every day after taking a bath.
Zhang Wentao, who was still complaining about his mother's unwillingness to support him at first, saw him in the toilet one night and realized that his mother was actually just worried that her son would not have a good life far away... and did not want him to be a chef.
, because I am afraid that my son will not have a good future...
"No, can't a small courtyard have a washing machine?"
Zhang Wentao squatted in the bathroom and rubbed his own private parts with his hands. Because of this small incident, he was immersed in the past scenes. If he could have been braver at that time, he could go in and hug his mother.
It would not be like now, when I think of this scene again, I can only make pale and tasteless excuses for my cowardly choice at that moment.
Thinking...thinking...
Sweat mixed with other liquids fell to the corners of the mouth, a little salty and astringent...
…
By the time he washed the clothes and took them out one by one to dry, the sun had already set.
At this time, only Ma Ye, Damai, and him were left in the yard.
"Brother Wen Tao, how shall we settle dinner?"
In the yard on the first floor, Damai raised her head and asked Zhang Wentao. She saw him hanging clothes to dry, and originally wanted to come up to help. But when she saw that he had underwear in addition to hanging undershirts, she gave up the idea.
It's too embarrassing...for her.
"Go out to eat."
Zhang Wentao concentrated on hanging up his clothes and shouted down.
Damai said "Oh" and walked to the kitchen and said to Mr. Ma: "Brother Wen Tao is going out to eat. Let's make rice noodles ourselves."
Mr. Ma was stunned for a moment, how could this guy change after just two days of hard work? He pointed out his picky mouth. If he went out to eat, he would have to choose a restaurant for a long time, and he would still complain a few words after finishing the meal.
It seems that yesterday's explanation was not very effective. I will continue to give this guy a good lecture tonight.
This matter of "fate is God's will, destiny is man-made", how can it be broken because of some misunderstanding between the two people? Young people should yearn for love, embrace love, and enjoy love.
Then, after being tortured by love and being bruised and bruised, you can calm down and appreciate the wonderful experience brought by 'meditation'.
"Master Ma, Damai, let's go, stop making rice noodles, how about we go to the town to eat beef hot pot?" After cooling off his clothes, he walked outside the kitchen and saw Master Ma and Damai preparing to make rice noodles, so he directly invited them to accompany him.
eat hot pot.
After he ate it once, he became obsessed with looking for various beef hotpots to eat in the ancient town.
In each store, the base soup is made in-house. It is not as spicy as Chongqing hot pot or Chengdu hot pot. The base soup made from the original beef bone soup is particularly delicious, and coupled with the solid meat texture of yellow beef, it suits his appetite very well.
.
"I'm going to eat hot pot. Didn't I just eat it last night?"
Mr. Ma almost laughed out loud. Zhang Wentao is not afraid of getting angry if he keeps eating hot pot like this.
"Don't go there. Let's go there this time. It's not easy to hail a taxi. Besides, we've bought rice noodles and vegetables. Why don't you just eat whatever you want? How about it, Brother Wen Tao."
Damai also feels that it is not a good idea to eat it now, mainly because if the rice noodles are not eaten today, they will be wasted.
It's not good to waste food.
Zhang Wentao didn't want to explain too much, since he didn't know how to eat rice noodles anyway, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll eat it myself. You can do whatever you want. By the way, if you need me to bring back anything, just send it to my phone."
Watching Zhang Wentao's leaving figure, Damai frowned and looked at Mr. Ma.
"Master Ma, why do I think Brother Wen Tao is a little weird?"
"Hey, this person has seven emotions and six desires. The seven emotions refer to joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, and evil; the six desires refer to lust, appearance, majesty and posture, speech and sound, and smoothness.
want."
"But what does this have to do with Brother Wen Tao? Is there a gluttony?"
"You will understand when you are older." Master Ma smiled, tossed his hair and said to Damai, "Come on, today Master Ma will make you a dish of 'stumbled rice noodles' for you to try."
