On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Feng woke up at six o'clock in the morning, because the third master, Xiao Jinhao, had already entered the chicken coop in the backyard to prepare one of the main ingredients for today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

In the past, Xiao Feng always hoped to sleep more, and he didn't pay attention to the process of making the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, so he basically slept until ** o'clock before getting up.

This year, Xiao Feng has a great interest in learning more about the traditions of the Xiao family, and he is willing to participate in the manufacturing process of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, of course, this change is also due to the greatly increased body and energy after he cultivated the 'Qi Induction Technique'.

The rapid improvement in cooking skills during this period of time has also given Xiao Feng the psychology of showing off in front of his family.

After taking out the gems and Wukong that they were trying to rely on in the Zizhu space, and preparing the milk brewed by the spatial spirit spring for them as usual, Xiao Feng began to put them on.

During this time, the two little guys have spent the night in the Zizhu space, and the milk that Xiao Feng prepared for them is also the same, after all, Wukong is just a little guy who has just been weaned. After the double nourishment of the space aura and the spiritual spring, the two little guys changed their original weak appearance and became much stronger.

However, the two little ones are also getting more and more naughty, often chasing and fighting in the yard, making chickens and dogs jump.

Walking out of the bedroom, the cold air from the snow-capped mountains made Xiao Feng involuntarily shiver, and subconsciously pulled up the hat of the down jacket.

The sky was still very dark, only a few stars in the sky were blinking their tired eyes, and the night owls in the woods not far away came from a bleak sound, which seemed to be extremely silent. If you were in Haizhou, you wouldn't be able to see such a bright night sky, because the light pollution was too strict.

In order to prepare for today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the Xiao family dispatched a lot of manpower, and the lights in the corridor and yard of the old mansion have been turned on, as if it were day. Even, three days ago. Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinhao have already begun to prepare for a big dish at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Xiao Feng saw that several sisters-in-law were already soaking shiitake mushrooms, selecting vegetables, and picking shrimp lines in the yard, while the third master Xiao Jinhao and his father were catching the local chickens and ducks into the cage and began to sharpen their knives.

"Yo, it's rare today, get up so early!" Xiao Feng's father, Xiao Jinyang, was stunned for a moment when he saw his son coming down from upstairs.

In Xiao Jinyang's memory, his son was rarely willing to participate in the preparation of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In previous years, they either slept lazily or played with a few younger brothers and nephews, and stayed away from the kitchen.

"Dad, you are looking at people with old eyes, and you haven't kept pace with the times!" Xiao Feng saw his father say this, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I am also a good young man who loves the kitchen now, don't you believe you ask the third master?" ”

Xiao Feng grew up in his father's reprimand and temper. It wasn't until he went to college, worked, and now is in charge of the Xiao family that he was able to communicate with his father in a relatively equal tone. In fact, this is also a true portrayal of countless families in China, where children will always be just children in front of their fathers before they start a family.

If it weren't for Xiao Feng having taken over the power of the Xiao family, he wouldn't have dared to be so free in front of his own son.

"Fourth, this is really not a little wind blowing cow. He's no worse than me now! Xiao Jinhao patted Xiao Jinyang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let Xiaofeng take charge today, we have worked hard all our lives, and we should enjoy it!" ”

Since receiving the Xiao family's spoon from the old lady at the age of thirty, Xiao Jinhao has been rain or shine for 2o years, and will prepare a rich and delicious Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xiao Feng's rapid improvement in cooking skills made Xiao Jinhao realize that this year may be the best time to change shifts.

"Third brother, is this kid okay?" Xiao Jinyang looked at his son. Some hesitation.

In Xiao Jinyang's memory, his son can cook, but he can only say that he can eat, not cooking, will it be too hasty to let him take charge of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?

"Don't worry, no problem!" Xiao Jinhao decided. said: "Anyway, we have to hand over shifts in the future, so let's just let Xiaofeng take charge today, and the other juniors will give him a hand, and we will check them on the side!" ”

Original. Xiao Jinhao still wanted to take charge of the spoon himself as in previous years, but after seeing Xiao Feng, he immediately changed his mind. During this period of time, Xiao Feng has cooked at family gatherings more than once, and the knife skills revealed are better than Xiao Jinhao, although the heat is still poor, but it is not too much of a problem.

In a few words, Xiao Feng decided the matter of this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. As for the old lady's side, it is enough to let him know when he gets up, presumably his old man must be supportive.

Since Xiao Feng was in charge, the people who gave him a hand could not be Xiao Jinhao and his brothers, and they began to shout at Xiao Feng's several cousins and nephews.

The third master said, Xiao Tao, Xiao Qiang, Xiao Dazhi, and Xiao Dapeng could only reluctantly leave the warm quilt and wait for Xiao Feng's command in the kitchen.

Today, the family is over 30, and it is estimated that 4 tables will be set up, plus the sacrifices to worship the ancestors, and 5 chickens and ducks will be slaughtered each. It is not an easy task to defeather and clean these chickens and ducks, after Xiao Feng killed and bleed these chickens and ducks with a knife in his hand, he threw them to his brothers for disposal.

As for Xiao Feng, most of today's time is spent on today's main dish, abalone in broth, which is also the first time in so many years that the Xiao family has used such high-end ingredients in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

If the old lady was reluctant in previous years, the market price of a six-cephalosporin Australian dried abalone was close to 4ooo yuan, and Xiao Feng spent 150,000 yuan, and through the relationship of the Zhu family, he bought 4o grains from Haizhou. For a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, the cost is so huge, and only a guy like Xiao Feng who is not bad for money can do it.

Dried abalone is soaked in cold water for 48 hours, then soaked in boiling water overnight to stretch and restore to its original state, then washed and cleaned and put in a steamer and steamed for 12 hours. A large number of top ingredients such as pork bones, pork belly, lean pork, pork ribs, old hens, and Xiaojia ham are processed through a series of techniques to make a broth.

Put the stock and dried abalone in a casserole and simmer for 8 hours, and the delicious dashi abalone is ready.

Among the Chinese cuisine, top dishes such as dried abalone in soup stock and Buddha jumping over the wall require the chef to have enough time and patience to cook them.

In the past three days, Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinhao have completed all kinds of preliminary preparations, although this dish is a new challenge for both of them, but it has not caused too many difficulties.

After all, the key to this dish lies in the preparation of top-quality dashi and the preparation of dried abalone, for Xiao Jinhao, with local black pig, Xiaojia ham and local chicken and his own rich experience, it is not a problem to stew top-quality broth, and the preparation of dried abalone can be carried out as long as it is carried out according to the procedure.

Xiao Feng put the broth and the prepared abalone into a large clay urn and simmered it in a separate small stove, with iron birch charcoal at the bottom to provide steady heat. The broth and abalone are simmered in a clay urn for 1o hours over a charcoal fire, and the broth and abalone will blend together and become the top famous dish in Chinese cuisine.

After the abalone was put in the pot, Xiao Feng began to focus on other dishes, and by the way, he made today's breakfast - chicken soup and rice noodles.

The spectacular scene of more than 30 members of the Xiao family sitting in the courtyard eating breakfast together made Ye Fan, the boyfriend of the eighth sister Xiao Jasmine, a little surprised, and his eyes widened.

"Jasmine, do you eat together every day at home?" Ye Fan, who has lived in a family of three in the city since he was a child, has never seen so many people at a family banquet except for the wedding banquet.

Since he came out of the airport yesterday afternoon, Ye Fan's impact has been wave after wave, and the scene of more than 30 people eating breakfast together is shocking enough.

"It's only like this during the New Year's holiday!" Xiao Peony swallowed the delicious rice noodles in her mouth, and said with a smile: "If this is the case every day, we have to hire two chefs, otherwise who wants to cook?" ”

What Xiao Peony didn't know was that since the opening of the Xiao Family Ranch and the 'Ginkgo Biloba Specialty', there have been about 2o people who have eaten here in the old mansion every day, and the scene is not much smaller than now.

After breakfast, Ye Fan, the new aunt who came to the door for the first time, originally wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was kicked out by his brother-in-law, and could only chat with the elders in the yard.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Xiao family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner started on time, and when Ye Fan saw the dishes sent up like flowing water, he had the feeling of dining in a five-star hotel.

First of all, the soup hot pot in the center of each table exudes a rich aroma, and the various top-quality wild mushrooms tumbling in it are even more expensive to buy.

White chopped chicken, roast duck and a braised carp with three or four catties are just home-cooked dishes, which are not unusual; But the stir-fried fresh winter bamboo shoots with chicken and duck were a little surprising to Ye Fan, after all, it was not easy to get winter bamboo shoots in this season; The material used in the stewed prawns is peony shrimp from Japan, and the price of each is more than 5o yuan; The aroma of charcoal-grilled salmon is unusually enticing, and this is undoubtedly another top dish,......。

Ye Fan had eaten many high-end restaurants with his father before, but now those restaurants are a little inadequate in front of the Xiao family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

When the last dish was served, Ye Fan's jaw almost dropped!

As a Ludao native living by the sea, Ye Fan is no stranger to abalone, and he can see at a glance that a stock abalone costs 8,888 yuan in the restaurant, but he didn't expect the Xiao family to have one!

Ye Fan can only use the word 'luxury' to describe the Xiao family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, where is this still a rural family, even the top rich family on Ludao does not have such a big pomp, right?

Ye Fan didn't know that Xiao Feng had made a lot of preparations for today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, spending a total of more than 2o thousand yuan to buy the most expensive abalone and peony shrimp. However, Xiao Feng did not inform his family of this number, otherwise his father would definitely be shocked when he knew that an abalone would eat his two months' salary.

The top-quality ingredients and the effect of the space spiritual spring made Xiao Feng's first Chinese New Year's Eve dinner an unprecedented success, and the family members expressed their hope that next year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner would still be handed over to Xiao Feng!
