Delicacy

"You account managers, don't always think that you are superior! How much time do you need to report a few emails every day? You also have to work with the collective to market in your usual work, and you have to set an example for the tellers! In this way, every account manager in the future Fifty marketing calls must be made, and I will go to the surveillance in person, so don’t be lazy!”

In the regular meeting every Monday, the persons in charge and account managers of each outlet were present. Li Xiaoxiao, as always, sat at the top and was impassioned, as if he was facing a bunch of moths.

Qin Yuanmu sneered in his heart while scribbling on the notebook. It's really ironic that the person who thinks he's superior said such a thing.What's even more ironic is that all the people present did not dare to show their arrogance, and all of them had submissive smiles on their faces.

After the meeting, Qin Yuanmu followed Feng Fei to a dinner, and Feng Fei kept cursing on the way.

"It turns out that the allusion of why not eat minced meat is true. If the leaders talk about it, we will have to run away! Everyone is used to living a comfortable life. I thought the bank is now very powerful, and customers are asking for it. Let's do marketing? She said it lightly, and she's not dumb, why didn't she call for marketing?!"

Feng Fei slammed on the brakes while scolding, even the signal lights were red all the way, making it difficult for him.

Qin Yuanmu sat on the co-pilot, covered the air outlet with his hands and felt the warmth of the air conditioner: "Calm down, President Li, President Li's farts will always smell like this, you should get used to it by now."

Feng Fei laughed and said: "Someone has to say it's delicious, and I can't blame President Li for always letting it go."

When they arrived at the agreed hotel, Feng Fei parked the car skillfully. Qin Yuanmu felt a gust of cold wind as soon as he opened the car door, and couldn't help but tighten his suit jacket.The weather is getting colder, and it's the end of the year again, and I don't know if it will get better in the coming year.

When Qin Yuanmu came home that night, needless to say, it was naturally the middle of the night again.

Qin Yuanmu rubbed his confused eyes, took out the key and corrected it for a long time before finally opening the door successfully.

The room was well heated. Wu Fenfang was waiting for him with her coat on. She frowned and came to help him: "Why are you back so late again? Hurry up and drink tea."

Qin Yuanmu didn't say anything, he drank the cold tea in the cup, panted and lay on the sofa without moving.

"How much did you drink again..." Wu Fenfang looked at him with concern, "Why don't I tell you, President Feng, to socialize less in the future, because if you drink like this, your health will be bad."

Qin Yuanmu smiled, waved his hands and said, "What are you talking about, no need! This job is what you do, how can you not drink? If you become a bitch, you won't be able to set up an archway..."

Wu Fenfang frowned: "What are you talking about! Go wash up and go to bed quickly, so as not to wake up tomorrow."

Just as Wu Fenfang wanted to enter the bedroom, Qin Yuanmu stopped her: "Mom, let's talk."

Let's talk about it. Most of the time, this phrase is spoken by parents to their children, and usually nothing good happens after the phrase is said. It is actually the same when children say it to their parents.

Wu Fenfang sat down again: "What do you want to say?"

"Can I resign?" Qin Yuanmu asked, speaking fast like a drunk.

Wu Fenfang frowned: "Why did you resign?"

"Why? Don't you go to our industry and ask, except for those leaders who fart every day, who doesn't want to resign? If you want a reason, I can talk about it all night, do you want to listen?" Qin Yuanmu suddenly sat upright from the sofa , staring at his mother intently.

"No one in that family really resigned. I know you are tired from work, but society is like this. You despise work, and I don't know how many people still envy you." Wu Fenfang said with a sigh.

"Envy me?" Qin Yuanmu suddenly laughed, "What do you envy me? Envy me being scolded every day? Or envy my monthly salary of two thousand? Wake up, mom, you still think you are looking for me Have a good life?"

Wu Fenfang said helplessly: "Salary and so on are temporary. What else can you do if you don't do this? Do you still want to paint? Do you still do it now? Even if this job is not good, at least it can solve food and clothing, right? Wait until you grow old There is still a pension, so it’s okay for young people to suffer a little more.”

Qin Yuanmu continued to smile: "Mom, look at my current appearance, do you think I can live to retire? I can't even live well now, and I still think about things when I get old? Isn't it a bit Big heart? Mom, let me ask you a question, I only have this life, why can't I let myself choose the life I want? "

Wu Fenfang was silent for a long time, and when she spoke again, her eyes suddenly turned red: "Yuan Mu, I haven't told you about the family affairs, do you know how much your father... owes you?"

Qin Yuanmu frowned: "This has become an emotional card again? Why did you suddenly mention my dad? My dad owes money, so I need to work in the bank and earn 2000 yuan a month to pay off the debt?"

Wu Fenfang covered her face and shook her head: "No, no... I have tried to solve the situation at home, and I won't pay you a penny. It's just that this family can't provide you with anything. You can only go by yourself, mom just wants you to have a stable job, did mom do something wrong?"

"You're right..." Qin Yuanmu said softly, "But I just want to live the way I want, am I wrong..."

That night, of course, nothing came of the discussion. Qin Yuanmu and Wu Fangfang each lay on their sofas and made do for the night.When Qin Yuanmu woke up the next day, he suddenly understood one thing, that is, he and Wu Fangfang had nothing to talk about on the topic of work.The identities of mother and son are there, as long as Wu Fangfang cries and holds up the sign for you, he will lose.

After washing his face without saying a word, Qin Yuanmu went out to work sullenly.Although the feeling of hangover is uncomfortable, it will be the same after getting used to it.

The unit is not close to home, so Qin Yuanmu usually doesn't go back for lunch, but chooses to order takeaway.Today was no exception. When Qin Yuanmu stepped out of the well-heated account manager's room to get takeaway, he was almost blown by the wind and snow outside.

Snowing.

The cold snowflakes melted on his face, let Qin Yuanmu know that he was not dazzled, but that winter was really here.Yang Xiaoyu was about to go home for dinner, and when he passed by Qin Yuanmu in a thick coat, he said, "It's really snowing... time flies so fast."

Does time go by quickly?Maybe, Qin Yuanmu is not sensitive to time now, and he doesn't feel how fast or slow every day is.Anyway, in the current life, you can see at a glance that there is no bright ending, and it doesn't matter whether it is fast or slow.

Qin Yuanmu was staring at the snow scene, Feng Fei also passed by him, looked at the fast food in his hand and said with a smile: "Eat less, I'll take you to eat it at night."

Qin Yuanmu came back to his senses and smiled wryly: "Is there another occasion? It's not bad to have a drink or two in this snowy day, but tonight it's a wine party, not a dinner party. I should eat more now."

Feng Fei shook his head: "No, there is something good tonight, save some stomach. Did Buddha jump over the wall know? A newly opened restaurant in the city, if it wasn't for my relationship, the queue would have to wait until next month, so that you will be full at night Good luck."

Qin Yuanmu smiled and said, "You actually invited Buddha to jump over the wall. It seems that the clients at night are not small."

"You'll know when the time comes, don't stand around stupidly, the food is already cold!" Feng Fei waved his hands and hurried away.

It doesn't matter whether the Buddha jumps over the wall or not, anyway, you should throw up after every meal, Qin Yuanmu has no expectations for the rumored food.Still hugging emails and making phone calls, mixed with a monthly salary of [-], it's time to get off work soon.

Feng Fei took Qin Yuanmu to a restaurant that he had never been to before. From the exquisite decoration, it could be seen that this restaurant was indeed newly opened.There are very few shops in their small town that can serve the big dish of Buddha jumping over the wall, so after the signboard was launched, there was an endless stream of customers here, and Feng Fei did have some skills in being able to fill in the gaps.

After following Feng Fei and waiting in the private room for a short time, the waiter walked in with a few middle-aged people with big bellies.Feng Fei got up quickly, walked to the bedroom with a smile: "Mr. Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Mr. Li, this is the account manager of our branch, my brother Qin's son, Qin Yuanmu. Yuanmu, this is Mr. Li , you should have seen it too."

Qin Yuanmu's eyes are indeed familiar, it should be his father's friend in the business field before, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake: "Uncle Li, it's been a long time."

Mr. Li took Qin Yuanmu's hand with some emotion: "Oh, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I've grown up in a blink of an eye...Okay, come on, sit down quickly and drink two cups to keep warm."

Mr. Li's words were echoed by the people around him, and the atmosphere suddenly heated up.

Feng Fei didn't talk about the business as soon as he came up, but first called the waiter to order. He only knew that the Buddha Jumping Wall here is famous, but he didn't know what other specialties it had.

After Feng Fei asked, the waiter smiled confidently: "Bosses, our chef here is a super chef, and everything is special, definitely better than what you eat elsewhere."

A slightly knowledgeable person smiled and said, "No way? Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is Fujian cuisine, and your chef is at most an expert in Fujian cuisine. Can you do everything?"

The waiter was young but very outgoing, sticking out his tongue and laughing: "Bosses, if you don't believe me, just order two dishes to try, whether it's a big dish or a home-cooked dish, or even the handmade noodles made by our chef. Absolutely no regrets."

Mr. Li looked through the recipes and found that there are indeed all kinds of dishes. There are common dishes in every cuisine. If you're not bragging, then this chef is capable. Don't let President Feng spend money today, just order some home-cooked dishes in addition to the Buddha jumping over the wall."

Feng Fei laughed and said: "Mr. Li will look down on me when he says this. Order casually. If you can't finish eating, we can pack it up. You're not afraid of wasting it."

Mr. Li is obviously a gourmet. Although the dishes he ordered are not expensive, they are all famous delicacies from various cuisines. Some home-cooked dishes are also the dishes that best reflect the chef's level. It seems that Mr. Li wants to verify whether the waiter is bragging .

Mr. Li was interested, Feng Fei was naturally happy, opened the wine and poured it for everyone.

Buddha Jumping Wall is reserved in advance, so it was quickly served on the table.Qin Yuanmu drank a glass of wine, and his whole body warmed up. Just in time, the waiter brought in a jar-shaped container. When the lid was opened, the fragrance overflowed, and just smelling it could make the mouth water.

Mr. Li took a deep sniff of the scent in the air, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, authentic! The taste is exactly the same as the one I ate in the old restaurant in southern Fujian! This chef is skilled!"

Today's topic is always talking about the chef, Qin Yuanmu inevitably thought of Lian Xiao, and even fancied that maybe this is what Lian Xiao did.But when the first bite was in his mouth, Qin Yuanmu was sure it wasn't Lian Xiao, because he couldn't make such delicious food.

Although Qin Yuanmu always said that Lian Xiao's cooking was the best, but that was just a joke. He did not eat less of Lian Xiao's cooking, and he knew that Lian Xiao was far from the top chef.Take this Buddha jumping over the wall as an example, it is absolutely impossible to do it with Lian Xiao's current level.

Everyone who tasted it gave thumbs up, full of praise.You really get what you pay for, and it’s not unreasonable that there are so many people waiting in line for the price.

Qin Yuanmu didn't know how to describe the taste of this Buddha jumping over the wall, he just felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the unique umami taste of the ingredients was almost overflowing.The aroma is extremely fresh, but it doesn't feel greasy at all. Qin Yuanmu feels that the best food in the world is nothing more than that.

Mr. Li and the others were quite reserved at first, but bowl after bowl, they filled the soup faster and faster one by one.

Feng Fei was crying in his heart while eating, if he had money, he would definitely invite this chef home, this Buddha jumping over the wall can't get tired of eating every day!

But he didn't forget the business, he couldn't sit still when he saw Mr. Li eating his ass, and asked with a smile: "How is it, Mr. Li, did you not come for nothing today?"

Mr. Li nodded again and again: "Yes, yes! Even if the other dishes are mediocre, just relying on the skill of Buddha jumping over the wall is enough to stand out from the crowd!"

President Li even forgot to drink, Feng Fei smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Come on, let's have a sip to celebrate the delicious food we ate today."

Mr. Li and the others regained some airs this time, clinked glasses reservedly, and took a sip.

Feng Fei gulped it down, took a deep breath with his face wrinkled, and looked at Mr. Li with a flushed face: "Mr. Li, let's talk about something serious? It's hard to do the job now. The leaders don't understand us. Opening and shutting up is a task, who is willing to deposit the money in the bank these days? You will need to take care of it in the future."

Mr. Li was satisfied with the meal, perhaps because he looked at Qin Dayong's face, and said with a smile: "No problem, I dare not say too much, a deposit of 2000 million is still no problem, if the situation permits, my brother can still grit his teeth Add some more, try to let it go for a few more days, do you think it is suitable?"

"It's appropriate, Li is always a straightforward person. Yuan Mu, come, let's toast Mr. Li together!" Feng Fei is very happy, Mr. Li is not the kind of nouveau riche who brags, he will do what he says, see It seems that there is no need to worry about the deposit at the end of the next quarter.

Qin Yuanmu is already familiar with this kind of wine table culture, and the wine glass is full of weight.

Feng Fei saw that Mr. Li was in a good mood, and hit the rails while it was hot: "Mr. Li has half of the steel transportation lines in the city in his hands. It is like a god of fortune to open public accounts. Our company department has also recently started to find big customers. If Mr. Li likes his brother, so come to us to open an ordinary account some other day?"

"That's no problem!" Mr. Li is very straightforward, "Of course there are not too many things like settlement accounts. President Feng's service is good, and it's not impossible for me to change the basic account to yours. Come on, continue to have a drink !"

Feng Fei became even happier, and almost spilled the wine when he poured it.

Qin Yuanmu was drinking, and when he heard the public account, he thought of Xu Tao, and he didn't know how much public deposits Xu Tao could bring to their outlets... Maybe it's going to be yellow?

This Buddha jumps over the wall, and there is almost no soup left for the table. Qin Yuanmu thinks that he can use it directly with the water pipe.Other dishes were also served on the table one after another. Everyone thought that after eating the Buddha jumping over the wall, it would be boring to eat these common meals, but Mr. Li gave a thumbs up again after tasting the back of the carp: "Amazing! This is really delicious. Made by a chef? Not everyone knows how to cook this Henan dish, it tastes so authentic, try it now!"

Qin Yuanmu picked up his chopsticks and nodded again and again.Needless to say, the freshness and taste of the carp are the same as those freshly fished from the Yellow River.The key lies in the fine noodles on the fish. I don’t know what kind of oil is used to fry it. It tastes mellow and crispy, with a sweet aftertaste. Qin Yuanmu feels that the chef of Fujian cuisine has transformed into a master of Henan cuisine.

"Awesome!" Under the influence of alcohol, Mr. Li spoke a lot more openly, "With such a chef, it's hard for the boss here not to get rich! It's really hard for the chef who can make this kind of taste these days Too many, what does such an awesome chef come to our small place? Do you want to cook for real people?"

Qin Yuanmu smiled, and when his eyes fell on a dish, he suddenly stopped.

It was an all-too-common fish-flavored shredded pork, but the shredded pork seemed to be shredded bamboo shoots.Qin Yuanmu followed Feng Fei to socialize everywhere, and of course he ate this dish in various restaurants, but he had never seen fish-flavored shredded pork with shredded bamboo shoots.

Only Lian Xiao did this to him back then.

Qin Yuanmu's arm that stretched out the chopsticks trembled a little, he picked up a shredded bamboo shoot tremblingly, and gently put it in his mouth to chew.

Crispy and delicious, the umami taste of the bamboo shoots has been completely preserved, and it complements the sweet and sour sauce, which is the same as the original taste.

Qin Yuanmu was a little restless, and kept saying to himself that this was just a coincidence, and it was not against the law to put bamboo shoots in fish-flavored shredded pork, so maybe a chef would love to do it?

The next scene was still full of joy between the host and the guest, except Qin Yuanmu who was always restless.And when the final staple food, handmade noodles, was served, Qin Yuanmu just took a bite, and tears fell without warning.

"How about the noodles, are they Q-bomb and smooth?"

"Yes, I have a hand."

"Haha, do you feel that I am very powerful?"

"Awesome. It's delicious. Can I eat the noodles you make for the rest of my life?"

"You are beautiful."

Memories of the past floated up in Qin Yuanmu's mind little by little. He had relished this taste countless times every drunk night, and it was absolutely unmistakable, it was the smell of Lian Xiao.He had eaten countless dishes by Lian Xiao, but he remembered the taste of that bowl of noodles, which was the first time Lian Xiao cooked for him.

In fact, not long after the breakup, Qin Yuanmu also visited the hotel where Lian Xiao worked, but learned that Lian Xiao had resigned and left.After losing the trace of Lian Xiao, he had no position to continue to ask, and then let it go. Unexpectedly, he got Lian Xiao's craftsmanship today.

All the people in the room were full of praise on the opposite side, and no one noticed that Qin Yuanmu was already in tears.

It wasn't until Feng Fei touched his rounder belly and discussed changing places to play that he found Qin Yuanmu lying on the dining table with his eyes covered.Feng Fei pushed him worriedly: "Yuan Mu, what's wrong with you, did you drink too much?"

Qin Yuanmu didn't speak, just nodded his head.

"Then you don't go to the next event, I'll call you a car, and you go home directly." Feng Fei said while taking out his mobile phone.

"No need," Qin Yuanmu raised his head and said, his eyes were a little red and swollen, "President Feng, you can just accompany Uncle Li, and I will take a taxi home by myself after a rest."

Feng Fei looked at him hesitantly: "Can you do it by yourself?"

Qin Yuanmu forced himself to smile: "Okay, you can go quickly, don't let me spoil your interest. Hurry up and serve me Uncle Li, I'll get a high salary next month."

Feng Fei saw that Qin Yuanmu didn't seem to be drunk to the point where his relatives didn't recognize him. After a few words of advice, he followed Mr. Li and his party out of the house.

The originally noisy environment suddenly quieted down, as if it was a good time to cry alone, but Qin Yuanmu didn't cry anymore, he just lay on the table, not knowing what he was waiting for.

It wasn't until the waiter came in to clean up the mess that he realized that there was still someone inside, and leaned over cautiously to push Qin Yuanmu: "Sir, are you okay?"

Qin Yuanmu raised his head and rubbed his bewildered head: "It's okay... By the way, I, can I meet your chef?"

"That's not acceptable," the waiter shook his head with a habitual smile, "Our boss is afraid that this chef will be poached by others, so he won't let guests see him."

Qin Yuanmu felt his heart beating faster: "I know him, is he... surnamed Lian?"

"Chef Lian, are you off work?"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Lian Xiao had already changed his clothes, and greeted a waiter as he passed by.In addition to being responsible for making Buddha Jumping Wall every day, he only cooks other dishes for the guests who ordered Buddha Jumping Wall. Today, all the guests who made an appointment for Buddha Jumping Wall have eaten and left, and he can leave work early.

Perhaps it was because he stayed by the stove all the year round, he wasn't very afraid of the cold, so even if it snowed today, he still didn't wear thick clothes, which made his not-so-strong body look even thinner.However, anyone who has watched the head chef shake the spoon knows that this man's strength is not weak at all.

When the snowflakes fell on his shoulders, Lian Xiao subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky. He didn't know what happened in the past, he was stunned for a while, then he sniffed, lit a cigarette and continued to walk forward.

But when he turned his head and saw the person not far away, Lian Xiao choked on the smoke in his mouth and coughed violently.

Qin Yuanmu stood in the distance and saw his little boy.
