Early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Feng came out of the warm quilt and dressed lightly, for fear of waking up Xu Mengyao, who was still resting.

'Smack'

Xu Mengyao finally woke up, turned on the bedside lamp, and looked at her husband with a smile.

"Meng Yao, you sleep for a while, and then take her to the old house for breakfast when the girl wakes up!" Xiao Feng looked at his wife with pity on his face and asked her to rest for a while.

Today's Xu Mengyao is 13 weeks pregnant, which is the most dangerous stage, several pregnancy tests and Xiao Jinming's pulse have shown that he is a healthy and lively little guy, which has also become one of the happy events of the Xiao family during the Spring Festival this year.

As her body became heavier and heavier, Xu Mengyao's drowsiness became more and more severe, so she talked to Xiao Feng for a while, and before Xiao Feng could put on all his clothes, she fell asleep again.

Xiao Feng stepped forward and tucked his wife's quilt, kissed her forehead, turned off the bedside lamp, and quietly went out.

The snowflakes in the sky are fluttering and sprinkling, which is particularly eye-catching under the dim street lamps, and Xiao Feng feels the cold air and walks slowly in the snowflakes, which is also very interesting.

Along the way, Xiao Feng's footsteps startled the barking of the mastiffs in the villagers' homes, and then all the dogs in the entire village seemed to be awakened, barking one after another. Because of the backing of the mountains, almost every household in Ginkgo Village has mastiffs that can hunt and watch the house, and even if life has changed for the better in the past two years, this living habit has not changed.

In the eyes of many tourists, in addition to the various food and beauty of Ginkgo Village, the number of dogs is also a major feature!

As if it was a clear signal, the villagers also got up one after another. The lights of the houses are projected through the windows, adding a hint of psychedelic color. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the villagers also get up early to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, once a year, never exception.

When he came to the old mansion, Xiao Jinhao was already busy with Xiao Qiang, Xiao Tao, Xiao Ji, Xiao Dazhi, Ye Fan and others, and Xiao Feng didn't talk nonsense, so he hurriedly joined in.

For the Xiao family, no matter how much wealth they have, the whole family works together to make a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. It is the meaning of family reunion.

Xiao Jinhao as an elder. is a top chef, so naturally he doesn't have to do it himself, and many times he is just directing a few juniors to process various ingredients; As for Xiao Feng's only task today, that is, to be a Buddha jumping over the wall!

The traditional Buddha jumping over the wall is based on the integration of 18 main materials and 12 auxiliary materials. It almost includes the delicacies of the mountains and the sea. Then go through a complex cooking process. The difficulty can be imagined.

In the past few days, Xiao Fengke has conducted a detailed study on the process of making the Buddha jumping over the wall, and has also made subtle adjustments according to the various top-level ingredients that the Xiao family currently has. finally found the Buddha jumping over the wall that best fits the current situation of the Xiao family.

The day before yesterday, Xiao Feng tried to make an urn of 'Xiao's Buddha jumping over the wall', so that the old people in the family could taste it a little, which attracted the appreciation of the old people.

Especially General Xu, he has eaten the authentic Buddha jumping over the wall made by a famous chef in southern Fujian at the state banquet, but compared with Xiao Feng's 'Xiao's Buddha jumping over the wall', it is somewhat meaningless!

Of course, General Xu didn't know that in addition to seafood ingredients, the mountain delicacies selected by Xiao Feng were all top ingredients from Xiao Family Farm, Jinghu Ranch and Zizhu Space, plus the cooking water was the spiritual spring of the space, and the wine used was aged by the Xiao family, so it was extremely rare to think about the taste.

After the success of the experiment, Xiao Feng decided to make the eight large urns 'Xiao Clan Buddha Jumping Over the Wall' today as the highlight of today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!

In the past two days, Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinhao have personally processed many ingredients, especially shark fin, abalone, sea cucumber, dried scallops and other seafood have been processed and steamed to remove the fishy smell, and processed clean for later use. In addition to these top-quality seafood brought back by Ye Fan from Ludao, Xiao Feng also selected a lot of special mountain treasures according to the actual situation of the Xiao family, which made the taste of 'Xiao's Buddha jumping over the wall' have a lot of special features.

For example, ordinary Buddha jumping over the wall uses shiitake mushrooms as one of the accessories, but Xiao Feng selects the top morels grown in the 'Zizhu Space', which naturally tastes more delicious.

Chickens and ducks, sheep elbows, pork belly, hoof tips, hoof tendons and other ingredients are also Xiao Feng personally went to the farm and pasture to select the best livestock and poultry, and carefully selected them after slaughtering them in the slaughterhouse, just for these ingredients, the Xiao family killed 10 pigs, 20 chickens and ducks each this time, plus seven or eight local black goats, which shows the cumbersome process of 'Buddha jumping over the wall'.

In a sense, the top Buddha jumping over the wall is really not something that ordinary people can make out of it!

The ham cumin used in the Buddha jumping over the wall is made of the top part of the Xiao family's ham, which can not only enhance the sweetness of the soup after cooking, but also maintain the deliciousness of the ham itself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The pigeon and quail eggs used by ordinary Buddha jumping over the wall were also replaced by Xiao Feng with wild snowcocks and snow eggs, and the grade was raised all of a sudden; In particular, these snowcocks are grown in the purple bamboo space, and the taste is not to mention delicious.

…………

After working until nine o'clock in the morning, Xiao Feng finally prepared all the ingredients and raw materials, and then began to light smokeless charcoal in the specially built stove and start cooking 'Xiao's Buddha jumping over the wall'!

Xiao Feng first put a bamboo grate made of fresh bamboo chips on the bottom of the Xiao family's aging jar, and then began to add various ingredients to it. The bamboo grate can not only isolate the fire and prevent the charcoal fire from scorching the ingredients, but also exude a light fragrance, making the soup of the Buddha jumping over the wall less greasy.

Immediately afterwards, from the purple bamboo space, the winter bamboo shoots that have been fried are laid on the bamboo grate, and then the morel mushrooms and other materials. Xiao Feng put all kinds of ingredients in the wine jar layer by layer and neatly according to the results of the real yàn, and finally added the top stock that had been hung for the past two days, and then began to put it on the smokeless charcoal stove and began the cooking process.

In the next 5 hours, Xiao Feng needs to continuously add various processed ingredients and Xiao family aging to the wine urn according to the change of heat, and there can be no mistakes.

Xiao Feng had already cooked an urn of Buddha jumping over the wall by himself two days ago, so he already had a clear understanding of the process of this dish, coupled with the reminders of the brothers around him, naturally there was no problem.

When the Buddha jumped over the wall and silently brewed delicious food on the charcoal fire, the men led by Xiao Jinhao began to get busy after lunch, making all kinds of top delicacies!

Whether it is roast suckling pig or Xiao's roast duck, roast meat or roast chicken, you need a top-notch stove, but fortunately, there is one in the small house in the backyard of the Xiao family, which is enough to meet the needs of the Xiao family!

In addition to these key hard dishes, the number of remaining Chinese New Year's Eve dishes is not too much, such as buttoned meat, braised carp and other dishes, which is simply too easy for the Xiao family with the background of 'Xiao family's private restaurant'.

With several nephews by his side, Xiao Jinhao showed the demeanor of a chef in Northwest Yunnan, picked up a big spoon and began to cook dishes, and after a while, all kinds of dishes came out of the pot like running water.

However, due to the cold weather, the cooked dishes are put in the steamer for the time being, and then served to the hall when the table opens.

…………

The men are busy cooking, and the women are not idle, they are also making zuò rice cakes, sugar rice and all kinds of small snacks, and they are also very busy.

Xu Mengyao participated in such an event for the first time, and she didn't know a lot of things, but her mother-in-law Xue Lihua felt sorry for her and didn't let her do too much, but introduced various processes to her on the side, and didn't expect Xu Mengyao to participate in the future.

In Xue Lihua's view, Xu Mengyao only needs to manage 'Jinghu Dairy' and the children, and housework does not have to be done, after all, people's energy is limited.

Xue Lihua would not naively regard Xu Mengyao as an 'almighty daughter-in-law', so she would have to stiffen the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Speaking of which, the harmonious relationship between Xue Lihua and Xu Mengyao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very satisfying to Xiao Feng, and there is no fire in the backyard, which is undoubtedly the best for Xiao Feng's small family.

Xiao Feng doesn't expect his wife and mother to become like mother and daughter, but as long as they can respect and tolerate each other, it is already excellent!

…………

The adults are busy preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the children are herding sheep, under the leadership of Ding Dang and Tong Tong, several doll pockets are filled with various snacks, building snowmen on the dam, having snowball fights, stopping to eat something at three or five o'clock, happy and boundless!

The older Xiao Dazhi and others nested in the leisure room on the second floor to play cards, play computers, and watch movies, and the pressure in the school was swept away, which may be the biggest benefit of the Spring Festival, right?

For Xiao Qiang and Yang Hao, the Spring Festival is not too perfect, after all, the girlfriend is not married yet, and she has to stay at home for the New Year, so naturally she can't stay in Ginkgo Village. These two guys, in between work, took out their newly bought Apple iPhones from time to time, chatted with their girlfriends in Beiping and Haizhou, and sometimes took a photo and sent it over to relieve the pain of lovesickness!

…………

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, after all, there was no sun today, and it was already dark after five o'clock.

As soon as the time came, Xiao Jinhao gave an order, Xiao Qiang and the others immediately turned into the second child of the hotel, and took turns to bring the dishes that were being kept warm to the hall, and the steaming dishes began to exude a thick and charming aroma, which was intoxicating!

After the other dishes had been served, Xiao Feng took matters into his own hands and entered the hall with a thick asbestos glove carrying a Buddha jumping over the wall wine urn weighing more than forty catties.

Completely different from the spectacular scene of other dishes full of aroma, 'Xiao's Buddha jumping over the wall' does not see the slightest heat coming out, and there is no aroma accompanying it, they are all hidden deep in the depths of the wine urn!

There are 8 huge wine urns in a row, Rao is Xiao Fengti is lì is superior, and he also felt a little out of breath for a while, but looking at the happy and satisfied smiling faces of his family, Xiao Feng felt that it was worth it! (To be continued......)
