513. Cheer up
As night falls, the lights come on.
It stands to reason that this point is not enough for a meal, but this is the case in Iceland, and the big guys can only get used to it.
For Christmas Eve, it's good to have a longer time, and there are more people who can do more activities, and it's lively.
In the end, they didn't eat outside, and it was cold around the campfire.
Dishes were brought to the table, and the large ten-meter-long dining table was fully furnished, and a group of people cleaned up and began to prepare with knives, forks and chopsticks.
Chen Song came out with a box, and he said, "Come, Christmas Eve gifts, one for each person." ”
The gift is a small brocade box wrapped in colored paper, which looks exquisite, and the drums are shining under the sparkling lights of the restaurant.
"Wow, do you have a gift for Christmas Eve? "Luke was delighted.
Except for Christmas, gifts can be opened on the spot at other times, so the big guy put down the knife, fork and chopsticks and began to eagerly disassemble them.
The beautiful box was opened, and inside was an apple, a big red apple.
A couple of Icelanders were stunned: "Why are you giving us apples, are you giving us vitamins?"
Chen Song said to Luo Bingxin: "Ms. Luo, you can introduce to the big guy our domestic Christmas Eve culture." ”
Luo Bingxin smiled elegantly and said: "According to our customs, giving an apple on Christmas Eve means a quarterly award, so the boss will give you an apple, so you can steal the fun." ”
A group of people were overjoyed and slapped the table and shouted:
"Long live, long live the boss!"
"I love your boss, I'm going to do it for you for the rest of my life!"
"I want two, one is not enough, I want two!"
Chen Song was blind: "Luo Bingxin, don't talk nonsense, how can there be any bonus? Is this money deducted from your salary?"
Luo Bingxin grinned and said, "I'm sorry boss, I don't have a salary." ”
"Oh, too. Chen Song thought for a while and said stupidly.
Goble grabbed his apple and asked excitedly, "Boss, is it true that whoever has a few apples will have a few bonuses?"
As soon as he heard this, Rhine first protected his apple, and he shouted, "You dare to snatch me, be careful of my knife and fork!"
Chen Song said weakly: "Go dream, open the meal!"
Hearing this, before everyone could react, Brother Bai was the first to slap the table excitedly, it slapped the table with one paw and pointed at the big roast chicken in the center with the other paw and roared.
Chen Song also roared: "Without you, you eat less, look at your fat." ”
Brother Bai didn't talk back to him, it rolled its eyes and ran to Angelina's side, shoved its head into her arms, and waited to eat and drink.
Old man Bruce lit the candlestick on the table, and Chen Song said: "Don't be busy, Lao Bu, let's eat together, it's Christmas Eve, let's eat together as a family." ”
Hearing this, Bruce smiled and said, "Eat it, I'll see what is missing." ”
Gobble pulled him to sit down and said, "You're alone." ”
The old man had to stand up: "Wait, I'll go and turn off the lights first." ”
"I'll come. Rhein jumped up to turn off the lights, and Goble snatched his apple.
Seeing this, Rhine was in a hurry, and he didn't care about turning off the lights, so he hurried back to grab the apple.
Goble opened Pandora's box, and Brother Bai was happy to see that he could grab it, so he pounced on Goble and knocked him down from behind, grabbed the apple and stuffed it into his mouth.
Gamba, both apples are gone......
Rhine's eyes were red.
Chen Song said: "Half of Gobble's quarterly award goes to you. ”
His eyes were redder: excited.
The lights in the restaurant are turned off and lit by candles, which is quite sufficient.
But Brother Bai and Brother Dao were also in the restaurant, and when the candle flame shone on their eyes, their eyes turned green, and they swayed around, Chen Song's heart trembled: "Turn on the lights, let's not play romantic." ”
The lights came on, and there was a claw on the table.
Finding that everyone was looking at him, Brother Dao silently took his paws back.
It had wanted to take advantage of the black light to get two pieces of roast pork.
Roast pork is one of the main dishes of Christmas Eve in Iceland, fresh pork with skin, roasted crispy pork rind, sprinkled with salt grains on the outside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and delicious.
But according to the custom, it is eaten with caramel potatoes, pickled red onions, Coca-Cola, salted pork, desserts and sweet drinks, which is a very strange combination.
Chen Song doesn't like this combination, he uses roast pork to dip cumin, which is the taste of barbecue.
Angelina tore the chicken leg of a roast turkey and gave it to Brother Bai, and when she saw this, Brother Dao and the bench dogs immediately ran over, and they sat in a row behind Brother Bai, lined up.
I can't finish the dish tonight, the roast pork is roasted for more than ten catties, there is a big turkey, there are two old hens stewed with mushrooms, as well as lobster, king crab, beef, iron pot by goose, in addition to Mrs. Emma also bought reindeer meat.
There are a lot of reindeer in Iceland, but they can only be hunted in the winter half of the month before Christmas, this is to meet the needs of the festival, and the second is to reduce the competition of reindeer in the wild.
In winter, there is little food in the wild, and there are always some starving to death if there are too many reindeer.
The heat consumption in winter is very high, and everyone can't wait in the face of a table of delicious food, so they hurry up.
Bruce tapped the table with an aluminum wine glass and said, "Don't rush to eat, guys, according to the rules, we have to let the leader say a few words." ”
It's pirate rule, aluminum wine glasses bang on the table and the boss speaks.
Chen Song stood up and held his wine glass and said: "Although I have not been in Iceland for a long time, too many things have happened in less than a year, and I feel that I have lived for more than 20 years and have not experienced as much as I have experienced in this time. First of all, I have to thank Bruce ......."
Five minutes later, "Okay, that's all for me, and I'll take one last look to the future, a brief snapshot of what we can accomplish next year......
"Whew. Goble groaned.
Chen Song laughed: "Actually, just one sentence, I, Chen, will not treat you badly, everyone follow me to do a good job, cheers." ”
"Cheers?" asked Trickron, who had already drunk several glasses.
The nights are too long, and the routine after dinner is to go to the bar or play cards at home.
Chen Song added some activities during the period in order to extend the time, and the big guys took turns to perform.
This stumped Goble: "I'm good at car repair, how do I perform in the house?"
Rhine was even more distressed: "What I'm good at is delivering cows and horses, and I can't perform it, right?"
Chen Song encouraged him and said, "Aren't you good at playing the piano and singing?"
Rhine couldn't help but ask, "Would you like to listen?"
"No, I don't. Goble said hurriedly.
Chen Song stood up and said categorically: "Of course I do, let's sing, come, everyone, applause, welcome our singer to the stage!"
Hearing this, the faces of several people changed, and Luke stood up and said, "Don't be like this, boss, I just ate half full, and if he starts singing, I won't be able to eat for an hour." ”
Chen Song said with satisfaction: "Very good, my purpose is to prolong this meal as much as possible, Rhine, hurry up and prepare, come to a song that you are best at." Play and sing to yourself, come on!"
After saying that, he took advantage of no one's attention to stuff the earbuds he had prepared in advance into his ears.
