485. Cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner

At this time, Wang Xiaochen stood behind the two of them for a long time, and suddenly spoke, startling the two of them: "Dad, I'm looking for Xie Xiaoke again to ask for cigarettes and wine, right?"

Wang Zehan said with a smile: "Is it the New Year today, just this time, it's not too much to smoke once a year!"

Wang Xiaochen rolled his eyes: "I don't care, you tell your mother!"

"Needless to say, you can ask Xiao Ke to give it to me in a while, your mother won't talk at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you have to give me some face, right?"

"Yes, you have such a big face!"

Xie Xiaoke saw that the time was not early, and quickly went to the kitchen to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, today he is the head chef.

In fact, he didn't prepare cigarettes and alcohol at all, but he put a little bit at home, and when he arrived in the kitchen, he immediately sent a WeChat message to ask someone to get ready, and he sent it over immediately.

After making the call, Xie Xiaoke began to sort out the side dishes and ingredients in the kitchen, this year's New Year's dishes are mainly southern, slightly spicy, and most of them are dishes that Xie Xiaoke has never made, specially reserved for the Chinese New Year, even Wang Xiaochen has not eaten them.

The kitchen has almost all home-cooked dishes, including the home-cooked practices of all the hotel names of the eight major cuisines in the country, and the seasonings and ingredients of some dishes are basically available, even if you can't buy them, Xie Xiaoke can also buy the corresponding materials to make them yourself.

For today's dish, he made a lot of seasonings in advance, such as spicy red oil, soy sauce sauce, XO sauce, etc., all of which were put in the kitchen, and today was the New Year's time, so it was decided that in addition to the bodyguards, other people, including maids and cooks, and housekeepers would go home on vacation to accompany their families for the New Year.

Shui who works outside doesn't want to go back to accompany his family during the New Year, just because he has three salaries for the New Year, and he is reluctant to get that money, but Xie Xiaoke promised them that even if they go home for the New Year, they will also have three salaries, including the employees in the company, and they will have 10 days off for the New Year, and all three salaries within the statutory holidays.

Wang Xiaochen and his parents were busy in the living room outside, pasting Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, at least the traditional customs could not be omitted, in fact, the parents' generation did not care very much, especially the elderly of the grandparents' generation paid the most attention to these things.

There were a lot of New Year's snacks on the table, and Xie Qiang kept watching from the side, reaching out for a while to take one, thinking that others didn't know.

Wang Xiaochen saw that he was almost busy, so he came to the kitchen to help Xie Xiaoke, while the four parents were playing with Xie Qiang in the living room and chatting.

Xie Xiaoke was making pineapple sweet and sour pork ribs at this time, he had already cut the ribs into sections and soaked them in water for half an hour, mainly to force out the blood in the ribs and prevent them from blackening during the production process.

"Get me the pineapple!"

"Whew!" Wang Xiaochen brought the pineapple over decently because of the apron.

After Xie Xiaoke yielded pineapples, he used a fruit knife to dig out the flesh of the winning fruit for later use.

Pineapple is also called pineapple in some places, because of the different growth environment, resulting in good and bad quality, but it is just one thing, the pineapple cake sold on the market is made of pineapple.

And among all the fruits, pineapples are relatively cheap, and they don't cost much, probably less than 10 yuan each.

The dug flesh is cut into thick slices and put aside, and then cut a little green and red pepper for coloring, although this is a home-cooked dish, but it has to be sent to the circle of friends, so it must also be made good-looking.

Take out the ribs, add salt, sugar, eggs, cooking wine and stir well, then add cornstarch and continue to stir, marinate for 15 minutes, after marinating, heat the pan and put oil, the oil temperature is heated to 4, add the ribs and fry for 8 minutes, and take out the oil control after frying.

Then add water, salt, sugar to the pot, after the water boils, add the green and red peppers and blanch for 5 seconds, then add the pineapple, and blanch for another 2 seconds.

Add water to the pot, then add sweet and sour sauce, bring to a boil over high heat, add green and red pepper pineapple pork ribs, stir-fry a little, and hit the hollowed-out pineapple directly out of the pot, and this dish is ready.

Every dish in the back is very troublesome, requiring patience and carefulness, but fortunately, Xie Xiaoke's kitchen at home uses a hotel-style stove, which has a large fire, so the production process is very fast, and it does not take a lot of time like an ordinary family stove.

There are fried baked eel, slur meat, fish cakes, spicy chicken, sand taro, fried crab with ginger and shallots, boiled shrimp, and finally made a fish maw tun chicken, the chicken is Wang Sao's chicken.

Because some dishes need to prepare a lot of seasonings, Xie Xiaoke has been preparing since this time yesterday, in order to be able to finish all the dishes quickly today without delaying time.

The family is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this feeling makes people suddenly return to their childhood, when everyone was so simple and innocent, every Chinese New Year's Eve after 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the first opportunity to open a meal in the village lights firecrackers, only to hear a "boom" in the sky, people who are busy at home will turn their heads meaningfully to see, adults only need to look at the same general direction, know which one it is.

Sometimes they will stand at their door and shout blessings to their neighbors, after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they will go door to door, and then both adults and children will start to play mahjong, there are no entertainment facilities in the countryside, even those children who usually love to play the little bully learning machine, this day will not go to play again, but play mahjong with other children, those who have money will gamble money, those who have no money will stick stickers on their faces, and they are much happier than now.

Finally, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten, and I hesitated to set off fireworks, so the atmosphere could only be like this, six adults and one child, gathered around the table, all smiling like flowers.

"Come on, in-laws, I respect your generation, Xiaochen still wants you to worry a lot in your family, hahaha!" Wang Zehan picked up the cup and toasted Xie Xiaofeng.

The two of them started to eat, and the table was full of people.

Seeing that there was not much left for everyone to eat, Xie Xiaoke was down-to-earth, and he was afraid that no one would like the fruits of his busy work for half a day.

……

After eating in the evening, the four old people watched TV in the living room, Xie Xiaoke and Wang Xiaochen took Xie Qiang out to play.

The family was playing in the courtyard outside, laughing and screaming.

Just when everyone was happy to celebrate the New Year, Zhou Shengfu fell into a depression.

At the beginning, he signed a contract with Xie Xiaoke to buy and sell the company, Xie Xiaoke gave him 3 billion, and after he went back, he sold the car, a house in Shencheng, two houses in Kuozhou, and a house in Kowloon, Hong Kong, all of which were sold, and all the money was used to repay the company's foreign debts, and there was about 2 million left, and he went to Hebei Village in the northern New Territories to sell a small house.

Planting beans in the south of the mountain, the grass is full of bean seedlings.

Morningside is desolate, and returns with the moon and lotus.

The famous sentence of the Southern Song Dynasty poet Tao Yuanming not only sounded in Zhou Shengfu's ears, but he was deeply grateful.

The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, if he is still so obsessed and continues to fight against Xie Xiaoke, the consequences will only make him never turn over.
