The time in the Chinese capital is eight hours ahead of Iceland time, which means that when the country celebrates the Spring Festival on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is bright and noon on this side of Iceland.

Although Chinese New Year's Eve in broad daylight is not very traditional, it is fortunate that the two meals can coincide: when the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten in China, it is just lunch here in Iceland.

In order to welcome the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Song also made many preparations, such as he specially spent money to buy Iceland's foreign language channel, which is the only TV station in Iceland that will broadcast the Spring Festival Gala live.

When the Spring Festival overture sounded, there was a burst of cheers in the living room of the manor: "Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" "Everything goes well in the new year, and the family is reunited." ”

Because there were too many people coming to the manor, Chen Song had to change the meal from the dining room to the living room, his living room area was 200 square meters, and the tables transferred from the dining room and the tables of the original No. 1 and No. 3 manors were placed, so that everyone could be accommodated.

Luo Qiulian and Chen Daren are busy cooking authentic Chinese food in the kitchen, but the chef is Mao Wenhui, the boss of the Chinese Mutual Aid Committee, a celebrity chef who is extremely good at southwestern cuisine.

They had been preparing the meal since dawn, and they would finally be able to stop after a long morning's work.

Originally, many dishes had to be eaten while they were hot, but Chen Song gathered no less than sixty people here, and it took a lot of time and effort to feed sixty pigs, let alone more than sixty people?

Therefore, Mao Wenhui mainly prepared some distinctive cold dishes, and he made some home-cooked dishes for hot dishes, all of which are home-cooked dishes that are usually eaten in various regions.

The dishes of this meal are a combination of Chinese and Western food, and the Western food is ordered by Chen Song from the town restaurant, which is fast and can be made on the table.

Goble and the others were not in the Spring Festival, and they were arranged by Chen Song to be waiters.

Chen Song helped serve the food, and Jing Wei rushed into the kitchen and said, "Okay old iron, isn't the dish finished yet?" Hurry up and sit down, the big guy is waiting for you to start the table." ”

"Of course it's not finished, this dish is not enough. Chen Song sighed, it's a pity that Luo Bingxin has returned to China for the New Year, she is sharp with her hands and feet, if she is asked to cooperate with Mao Wenhui to cook, she will definitely be able to add a lot of dishes.

Jing Wei pulled him and said: "Let's go, let's eat, who usually needs a few dishes?" The main thing is the atmosphere, the main thing is the environment, hurry up." ”

Chen Song said: "Okay, don't worry, serve this mapo tofu, two portions per table, Brother Hui said that this is his specialty dish, it is estimated that one plate is not enough to eat, and two plates are made at each table." ”

Jing Wei said to Mao Wenhui: "Brother Hui is bright, let's go, Brother Hui, hurry up and serve the table." ”

Mao Wenhui wiped his hands with a towel and smiled: "Let's go, let's go." ”

Chen Song put down the last dish, and several people applauded and whistled at him: "Old Chen, come on." ”

Seeing that her son was mixing so well among her compatriots, Luo Qiulian couldn't help wiping her tears with joy: "I used to worry that my son would be bullied abroad, but I was blindly worried, he bullied others." ”

Chen Song raised a glass of wine and said: "That old brothers, sisters, brothers, sisters, brothers, sisters, today's New Year, the Spring Festival, right?

"It's done, it's going to be done!"

"Lao Tzu who stepped on the horse was allergic to alcohol, but he sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, I will do it first as a respect!"

"Hello New Year, relatives and friends, hello, done!"

In the heat of the misty and floating dishes, the smiling faces are endless.

The crowd is really lively, and it can stay up for time, Chen Song's family used to have three people during the New Year, and they ate a meal for half an hour at most, but today they have been eating "Unforgettable Tonight" from "Spring Festival Overture".

During the New Year, the town also rang the bell, but unfortunately the bell was not the hundred-ton bell of Hanshan Temple, and the sound was not loud, so it could not be transmitted to the manor.

However, the Spring Festival event was held very successfully, attracting most Chinese in Iceland, and it also made a big splash on TV, and the video of the New Year's greeting recorded by the Icelandic Prime Minister yesterday was released in the afternoon.

The old immigrants have suffered more or less in Iceland, and some of them burst into tears when they gather together to drink and chat with each other, and when they see a head of state greeting them.

When the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala finally said the sentence 'Audience friends, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is over here, and we will see you next year', most people's eyes were moist.

There is also an iron head, and he is scolding with the strength of wine: "This is what the Spring Festival Gala that Margobi spent a lot of money on? I want to see you next year?

At this time, it is about to end, most of the big guys are drunk, the wine is good to sleep on the table, sleep under the table, the wine almost pulls the people around him chatter, and the wine is very poor.

Mao Wenhui doesn't drink, he stays sober, so after watching the Spring Festival Gala, he went to cook a pot of sobering soup.

After drinking the sobering soup, Chen Song sent all the people who had drunk too much to the room, and some of the people who wanted to drink went to the town bar together.

By the time Chen Song led someone to clean up the living room, it was already dark.

He looked at the time and said, "It's time for dinner again, isn't it?"

Goble clutched his stomach and said, "Eat later, boss, I ate too much at noon." ”

Brother Bai lay on the ground and stared at the roof, its stomach swelled as if it was blowing, and Bruce had to find a diet pill for it to eat.

Tong Youwei's old father said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we should be preparing firecrackers and New Year's greetings, right?"

Chen Song said: "We don't do things according to the domestic time, let's get up tomorrow and set off firecrackers." ”

Father Tong smiled: "Then let's drink some more together?" This time, let's drink the Tusu wine I brought. ”

There were too many people from the manor, and Chen Song didn't take out the Tusu wine, otherwise one person wouldn't have enough to share a glass.

After listening to Tong's father's suggestion, Chen Song said: "This is okay. ”

Tong's father said: "According to traditional customs, this Tusu wine should be cut some medicinal materials today, such as Shu pepper, aconite, bellflower, and then wrapped in a sand bag and sunk into the well, and then take out the medicine bag to cook wine tomorrow." Of course, we don't have to be so particular, just boil it directly. ”

Their family is in the wine business and knows a lot about various wine cultures, so this time they brought Tusu wine and supporting medicinal materials, and Chen Song found a clay pot to cook it.

After cooking, Tong's father taught Chen Song to take some peppercorns and put them on the plate, saying: "This is called a pepper plate, the ancients believed that peppercorns have a warm aroma and are very valuable spices." In addition, you see that there are many peppercorns, so drinking Tusu wine with it can pray for the prosperity of the family's descendants. ”

"So much?"

The old gentleman nodded reservedly and said, "It's not just that, you have a cypress tree here, right? Pick some leaves, young man, let's drink a retro wine." ”
