472 Lucky dumplings
"Mom, Mom. You go and sit down, and we, young people, will take care of the rest. Lu Li walked into the steamy kitchen and pushed Song Lingyi out.
Song Lingyi was still relieved and wanted to defend herself, but Lu Li didn't give her a chance at all, held her shoulders, and pushed her all the way to the direction of the dining table, "Don't worry, enjoy dinner." Don't worry anymore. After speaking, Lu Li turned around and walked towards the kitchen, even if he didn't turn around, as if he had eyes on his back, he noticed Song Lingyi's footsteps walking back, "Don't come over, hurry up and eat." ”
Every year, the elders in charge of the cooking are constantly busy in the kitchen, so that they have no time to eat, and can only stand and eat a little bit when they are savoring salty or cooking. After a busy night, by the time they were served, the table was already full of wine and food, and it was a mess.
Later, when I grew up, the hotel's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner gradually flourished, freeing the elders from the kitchen, and leaving everything to the hotel to solve. But gradually, the "New Year's flavor" of the New Year seems to be becoming less and less. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Strictly speaking, Lu Li is the owner of Yunfeng Ranch, he took over the work of the spoon from the hands of his grandmother and mother, and was responsible for the second half with his cousin, so that his grandmother and mother could relax and truly enjoy the joyful atmosphere of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Of course, the most important thing is to fill your stomach.
Song Lingyi came to the table and said with a smile, "Is there a place for me?" Or do you want me to go outside? Song Lingyi looked at it, the bonfire outside the main house reflected the entire night sky, and even the garden was shrouded in orange-red halo, everyone gathered around the roasted whole sheep, giggling and laughing, the atmosphere was so lively.
"Here, here. Jessica gestured to the empty seat next to her, "Tonight's heroes are always welcome here!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered, raised their hands high, and gave Song Lingyi a round of applause, and some even whistled, and even the table next door remembered the coax, and the space of the main room was suddenly filled with noisy shouts.
Song Lingyi's cheeks were slightly red because of hard work, and the crystal sweat could be seen on her forehead, she was not shy, but looked down for a clean cup, Jessica poured her a glass of beer, and then raised it high and toasted the whole table, "Then I thank everyone for their support." And, of course, my mother's hard work. I wish you all a Happy New Year!" These words were all in English, and this time, Song Lingyi quickly adapted to the life on the ranch.
With a glass of beer, everyone raised their glasses in salute, and the atmosphere of the dinner became more lively.
Song Lingyi sat down and saw the tableware on the table, the left was a knife and fork, and the right was chopsticks and spoons, at a glance, she knew that it was Lu Li's handwriting, she couldn't help laughing, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the dishes on the table, and thought about where she should start, and then the sound of "sweet and sour pork ribs" came to her ears, she couldn't help laughing, "How do you know, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs?"
Turning his head, it was Lu Huaijin who was explaining to Adam, saying the Chinese of "sweet and sour pork ribs" word by word, and Adam also repeated one side, but the tone of voice was extremely strange and ambiguous, and it could not be linked to "sweet and sour pork ribs" at all.
Adam held a fork in his hand, with a piece of ribs pierced on it, and without hesitation, he stuffed it directly into his mouth, and involuntarily made a sound of enjoyment, and that low moan/moan really made people blush and heartbeat, but Adam didn't care, and even showed a satisfied expression, and kept saying, "Jesus Christ, this is really ...... It's wonderful!"
Adam swallowed quickly, and then looked at Song Lingyi with an excited face, "How did this happen?"
Song Lingyi and Adam were not familiar with each other, and they didn't expect such a question at all, so they couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and Jessica's exclamating voice came from the side, "I told you, don't underestimate Fourteen, and don't underestimate Chinese food." At Top of the Clouds Ranch, you'll be pleasantly surprised, and the surprises never stop. ”
Adam didn't know when he stuffed another piece of ribs, and he couldn't speak, so he could only hum, "Uh-huh, ahhh The slurred voice made people laugh, and finally swallowed, but only had time to say, "Good!
Ajean didn't refute Jessica's words, but just said with a curious expression, "It's really amazing. Chinese food is not like this, it is not like this!" Adam's eyes began to sparkle, "Chinese food as I know, it's not like this! It's simply the most delicious food in the world!"
There are obviously different opinions on this point, and everyone's preferences are different. But at least for Jessica, she's willing to say yes. With a clear glint in his eyes, he stabbed a piece of beef with his fork, and said slowly but confidently, "Welcome to join us." ”
Song Lingyi chuckled, "It seems that my son has had a greater impact than I imagined." A sigh made the others next to him nod their heads, it was originally just a joke, but it had such an effect, which made Song Lingyi stunned, and then laughed.
"Coins!coins!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the main house, shouting all the way, thumping footsteps from far and near, a figure slammed open the door, Tony's extremely excited expression appeared in front of everyone, his right hand was still held high, and a happy smile bloomed between his eyebrows.
Everyone in the main room was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Tony's fuss and cheering appearance, and they didn't even hear what Tony was shouting just now.
With a big smile on his face, Tony's excitement was not affected in the slightest, and he shook his right hand, "Coins!
Before everyone could react, Chen Taotao was the first to shout, "Coin!" This is Chinese, but then she changed her words and said again in English, "Coin!" is in ...... Belch...... In the dumplings!" This sentence in English is very simple, but because he was too excited, Chen Taotao stumbled in a word, "There is something in the dumplings." Coins are one of them. ”
"Oh. Song Lingyi reacted and explained in a more fluent way, "This is custom. We put all kinds of things in dumplings to mean different things. ”
"Is it? what? what does it mean? what is a coin, what is it?" asked Tony urgently, his whole face glowing with excitement.
Song Lingyi thought for a while, and then realized that wrapping different fillings in the dumplings of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, is this the Tang and Song dynasties? Or is it a tradition of the Three Kingdoms period? This explanation has a long history, so she pointed to the kitchen, "The official translator is in the kitchen." ”
"Ahh ”
"Coins represent wealth. Song Lingyi had no problem with this explanation, and after finishing speaking, she gave Tony a thumbs up, "Good luck for the New Year." ”
"Wealth!Wealth!" Tony held up the coin aloft and circled in place, "Haha, it must be the vineyard, it must be God, fourteen, fourteen!" Lu Li in the kitchen heard the shout, but didn't have time to deal with them, "Hurry up and thank me, thank me!
Tony's shouting made everyone look at her, Jessica immediately looked at Song Lingyi, and said verifiably, "In the dumplings?" After getting a positive answer, Jessica began to quickly fork the dumplings on her plate, not only her, but everyone else also began to grab the dumplings, and even Lu Huaijin also had a lively time.
Before Jessica could put the dumplings in her mouth, someone at the table next to her shouted, "What is this? Corn? Why is there corn? What does corn represent?"
"Happiness. Song Lingyi shouted loudly, corn is instead of bran, and the ranch is in too much hurry to prepare for the New Year, and there is no time to buy further materials, so it can only use the resources at hand.
"Oh, kale, Jesus Christ!" Adam almost vomited all the dumplings in his mouth, but Song Lingyi said solemnly, "You can't waste food." Adam could only swallow the dumplings with teary eyes, and the picture of "the baby is bitter, the baby doesn't say" made everyone else laugh.
"Sweet, it's ...... Is this white sugar?" Brandon at the table next to him frowned, obviously white sugar, but as if he was eating coptis.
"Sweet. Chen Taotao blinked his eyes slyly and said with a grin, Brandon's face suddenly stiffened, but Jia Siming, who was sitting next to him, laughed, leaned into Brandon's arms, and then said to Chen Taotao, "Do you like Victoria?"
Chen Taotao nodded vigorously, then looked at Brandon and Jia Siming, and made a "love" gesture, and at this time, everyone else at the table began to whistle.
"Why are you all late? I didn't?" Randy was outside, and he didn't know when he ran in, "Is it because your dumplings are different from ours?"
Before he could answer, Ronald's voice rang out, "Fourteen, is there a pepper?"
"Spicy, spicy. Yuan Qingzhu could only say one word, and then Liu Xiaoyan, who was sitting next to him, laughed and said, "It seems that you have won the jackpot and actually eaten chili." ”
Ronald swallowed the dumplings raw, then opened his mouth wide and kept pouring beer into his stomach, and after drinking the whole glass, it was slightly relieved, "What does the chili mean?"
Liu Xiaoyan looked at Yuan Qingzhu, laughed hehehe, did not speak, and Li Huainan, who was sitting diagonally opposite, said angrily, "There is no point." ”
Ronald was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and seemed to have been hit hard. That look was unbearable, even though Yuan Qingzhu couldn't understand the conversation just now, he understood what Ronald meant, so he said kindly, "Hot." ”
Ronald was stunned, "What do you mean?" I didn't understand at all, Liu Xiaoyan explained understandingly, "I wish you a prosperous and sexy/sexy New Year." ”
"Sexuality/sensuality?" Lily suddenly showed a complaining expression, and Ronald spread his hands innocently, "I haven't had time to say anything yet." ”
This back and forth, everyone laughed.
