Although Yang Yong was born and raised in the United States, the Yang family has always celebrated the New Year, that is, the Chinese New Year's Eve until the fifth day of the new year is a festival, and there has never been a Christmas. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This time is different, this time there is Anna, an authentic Catholic in the family, Christmas is the most important holiday of the year, and the entire Yang family has to follow Anna's feelings, who makes Anna the key protection hostess of the family.
What's more, Anna, who is pregnant, is more worthy of the love of the whole family, no way, the Yang family tried Christmas for the first time, but fortunately, Anna, a little housekeeper, is responsible for arranging all the big and small affairs of the whole Christmas, so as not to make mistakes in the busy and be laughed at by some servants.
And Yang Yong's task is not easy, he got up from bed early in the morning, yawned and dressed well, came downstairs for breakfast, and then brought the male assistant butler to borrow a batch of American flower horses from the cattle grazing in the pasture, and then brought his best tools, as well as Yang Yong's super pet Kahn the Tibetan mastiff to the mountain to cut wood, Yang Yong was going to cut a huge Christmas tree back for Anna to decorate.
It had just snowed heavily in the past two days, and the road on the mountain was particularly difficult to walk, with the snow layer reaching more than one meter thick.
Yang Yong muttered as he walked, there are so many rules for Westerners to celebrate Christmas, and they have to go up the mountain to cut down a Christmas tree by themselves and come back, it's really troublesome, it's like our Chinese Spring Festival is just pasting Spring Festival couplets, and the gun card is over, where are there so many rules.
The Yang family's Huaxia Park has a forest coverage rate of more than 70%, and the mountains are full of tall pine and cypress forests, so it is easy to find a suitable Christmas tree.
However, the height of the Christmas tree should reach about five meters, and it can be completely put into the small living room, the most important meeting place of the Yang family.
The pine tree is not high, only a dozen meters, the form is very beautiful, there is no fruit, there is no damage to the part of the branches, it grows straight and strong, especially the branches on the top of the tree look like a big umbrella that opens, it is very beautiful and robust, and it is very green, it is the Christmas tree that is needed for Christmas, isn't it a green plant? This small pine tree about ten years old is the most suitable.
So Yang Yong smiled and patted the trunk of the tree, and the deputy housekeeper who followed him said with a smile, "Don't bother looking for it, I think this tree is all the same as the standard, it grows thick and strong, especially the branches on it look particularly good-looking, and the color of the leaves is also very reasonable, it is this Christmas tree, let's do it now." ”
Scott, the assistant butler, promised to unload all the axe and saw tools he had brought from home from his horse, and then the two of them pulled the big saw together, and in a few minutes the Christmas tree was downrooted and put down.
Then start from the top of the tree and measure it with a meter ruler, measure the length of five meters and then cut the Christmas tree, which is destined to be the length of the Christmas tree, after sawing the Christmas tree, tie the trunk with an iron chain and follow the horse's back, and then let the horse walk with the Christmas tree.
Fortunately, the road down the mountain is covered with snow when the snow closes the mountain, and the Christmas tree does not cross out the branches and branches on the snow to keep the trunk intact.
After the two walked down the mountain, the trunk of the Christmas tree, put on the horse's back, the snow of the Huaxia Manor almost turned into a Christmas tree dragged on the ground, when they returned home, the Christmas tree had been dragged out of shape, there was no way to decorate the Christmas tree, so they could only use the American flower horse to carry the Christmas tree on horseback, and then walked back with a shallow foot.
When he got home, Yang Yong was already tired and sweaty, but today's work was not finished, after the Christmas tree was cut back, Yang Yong went to the farm with the chef to choose a big white goose introduced from China, and chose the largest big white goose to come back as the main dish of Christmas dinner, that is, Christmas roast goose.
The Yang family is an authentic Chinese who maintain very good Chinese traditions, and even the attitude towards food is the same tradition as Chinese, saying that the big white geese are imported from China, each of which weighs more than ten kilograms, which is called a big one.
And these big white geese are very ferocious, biting people's heels is a common thing, there is an old Chinese saying that three geese top one dog, this sentence is very easy to understand, because China's big white goose is very aggressive, and very bold, and there is a very serious territorial complex.
To invade the territory of the big white goose, whether it is a person or an animal, it will be attacked by the big white goose, you can imagine a big white goose reaching about ten kilograms, when opening its arms it reaches one and a half meters, more than a dozen big white geese quacking and rushing towards you, not Rambo can't stand it, don't turn around and run away, just wait for the heel to be twisted and bruised, bite red and swollen, then it hurts.
One of the advantages is that this big white goose is domesticated by the white swan into a unique breed in China, the individual large meat is delicious, especially the goose down is also the most important material to make down jackets, the Yang family's farm has raised more than 100 big white geese.
Among them, 25 are male geese, and the materials needed for the Christmas main dish roast goose are male geese, so Yang Yong patrolled the wall of the farm, and finally picked a leading big white goose, with a volume of about 15 kilograms, which is called a big catch up with the weight of a piglet.
And this big white goose is the leader of the male geese, the leader was taken away, the big white goose group suddenly ran away, and the keeper who grabbed the goose leader bit ahh
Got on the tram, ran back to the castle with a smoke, and told the whole process of catching the goose in front of my mother, and even Anna on the side couldn't help but exclaim, it turned out that the big white goose raised by her own family was so fierce.
The old lady said that she was very calm, after all, the old lady grew up in China and knew how powerful the big white goose in China was, so she explained to Yang Yong and Anna with a smile.
"That's why I insist on keeping Chinese white geese, because these geese are domesticated by white swans, they are wild, very aggressive, and very territorial. ”
"As long as you put these big white geese in the family, you are not afraid that the foxes in the forest will come to steal poultry at night, because these big white geese are much more powerful than foxes, and these aggressive big white geese take care of all kinds of poultry. ”
"When have you ever heard the person in charge of the farm tell you that our chickens, ducks and geese have been attacked by wild animals, and it is because of these big white geese that their family's farm is still in such a safe state, and no wild animals have attacked them. ”
Hearing his mother say this, Yang Yong felt that it was too much for him to bring back the leader of the big white goose to roast and eat? Fortunately, there is only one Christmas a year, and the big white goose will breed next year, and when the new generation of big white goose grows up, he will drive out a strong big white goose to act as the leader.
There is only one Christmas a year, and eating the big white goose once will not affect the overall development of the big white goose flock, after capturing the big white goose leader turmoil, the whole castle has returned to normal, and the kitchen has begun to be busy making Christmas dinner.
Yang Yong guarded Anna as a guard, helping Anna to decorate the Christmas tree, hanging some colored balls, lanterns, colorful notes on the Christmas tree, and an important step was to put an angel with his arms open and a cross on the top of the Christmas tree, so that the Christmas tree could be completed.
