Chapter 282: Chinese New Year's Eve

The dinner in the evening is actually similar to noon, but there are a few more dishes, and the wine on it is also Moutai brought from China. Li Han also cooked two dishes himself, and the dishes he cooked were actually far inferior to the honest chefs, but they were just home-cooked dishes, but the more chicken, duck and fish on the table, the more popular the home-cooked dishes were, and they were quickly swept away.

Westerners do not have the habit of pouring wine on guests, except for Benedict, who loves wine and drinks two more glasses, Li Han, Lydia and Count all only drink one cup with a meal, and then drink two more bowls of fragrant fish soup. The group fish was actually a soft-shelled turtle, but it was cut into small pieces by the chef and the head and claws were chopped off, and they didn't recognize what it was at all, otherwise Li Han thought that they would not dare to eat it when they saw the appearance of the soft-shelled turtle.

Li Han loves to eat soft-shelled turtle skirts, and soft-shelled turtles are greatly supplemented, when he was a child, there were many such things, and he could catch them casually in the fields by the river. Later, I had to buy it, and the price went up. That is, now he earns a lot and can eat as much as he wants. However, I don't know if this soft-shelled turtle is originally available in the UK, or if it was bought from Chinatown, anyway, unless he has something special to eat, it is the chef who buys the food.

Drinking soup and drinking hot all over the body, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Li Han directly took out a large box of fireworks from the utility room: "Let's go, let off the fireworks, I bought a few big boxes, enough for us to put one night." "Large and small, it cost more than 1,000 pounds, but this is not a complete variety, and it is really inconvenient to import it from China.

This kind of small fireworks is different from large-scale events, although it is not so magnificent, but there are more tricks and more fun. One is to put it by hand, which is much happier than looking up and stupidly. Second, the distance between yourself is close, and you can see it more clearly. And for some celebrations or something, the types of purchasers often buy are relatively simple, unlike those they buy and put away, and they will pick a variety of different things to play.

Spinning and ascending to the sky, looking like a vase, squirting out with a parachute, screaming like a rocket and flying out, smoky, with auspicious words...... Li Han also bought a few small packs. You can kick it around when you light it. When he was a child, many people played this, and he had long forgotten what it was called, but he didn't expect it to be available in London.

Originally, everyone was just watching the fireworks, so Benedict followed a few. When Li Han smiled and began to kick that little thing. Lydia was first startled by the little thing that was on fire. And then he kicked it too. Benedict soon joined in, leaving only the Count of Reims, who was older, and sat down in the chair for afternoon tea. Watch them play.

The people have already finished their work and gathered around to watch the excitement. Li Han waved his hand generously: "There are many more, you have to play and get them yourself." ”

He has a gentle personality, and although his subordinates maintain respect for his boss, they are not afraid of him, so several Chinese chefs take the lead and go with a smile. So I soon saw countless fireballs rolling on the grass, but fortunately, this thing was small and safe, and I was not afraid of causing a fire.

There are also two boxes of fairy sticks and monkeys that children like to play, and Lydia likes fairy sticks, which can be played with in her hands and are safe. Benedict likes to let go of the monkeys, so he followed Li Han's example and stuck a monkey in the grass and lit it with a cigarette butt. The sky monkey "chirped" and exploded, startling him.

"Cold," he cried out, "why can't mine fly?" ”

Li Han turned his head and glanced at it, and said, "Are you plugging it in too tightly?" It's too tight and it can't fly if it doesn't have enough strength, so try to plug it loose. ”

Benedict complied, but this time he had just lit it, and before he could retreat, the monkey suddenly fell down and flew out flat. Fortunately, they play this first in a place where no one is around, otherwise they will be afraid that they will suffer a little injury.

Li Han doesn't care about him, anyway, there are hundreds of sticks in the big box he bought, enough for Benedict to try slowly, and with experience in inserting a few more, he knows how deep it should be inserted, and Li Han himself has experience from playing since childhood.

After playing until midnight and setting off several large boxes of fireworks, my stomach began to growl. Li Han washed his hands and asked, "Is there anything to eat, refreshing." ”

Ian had already called two older cooks who were not very interested in fireworks to make a supper, and they were brought at this time.

In the snow-white small bowl is white fungus pear soup, which is sweet and refreshing, which can relieve the oiliness and fire of today's big fish and meat. On the plate are crystal shrimp dumplings and tofu skin buns, both of which are small and cute, even if you eat a few more, you won't eat too much and affect your sleep. The four of them ate everything, and Lydia especially liked the white fungus pear soup, which was refreshing and beautiful.

Benedict is interested in tofu skin buns, he has eaten buns in Li Han's house before, and he also knows that bun skin should be made of flour, but this bun is obviously not flour, but he studied it for a long time and didn't see what the bun skin was, and thought: "This has nothing to do with tofu, why is it called tofu skin buns?" ”

Tofu skin is also called oil skin, and the layer that condenses on it when making tofu is peeled out to dry. Take the tofu skin and wrap it with various vegetarian stuffings such as golden needle, fungus, and shiitake mushrooms, and steam it to become a tofu skin bun, which has a refreshing taste and many people like it.

Li Han served the earl half a bowl of white fungus and pear soup, and then took a small plate and sandwiched one of the two snacks to him. The earl is also old, and in the middle of the night, Li Han didn't dare to give him too much food.

After eating snacks, the earl went back to the room to sleep, Li Han pulled Ian, and the four of them continued mahjong: "Chinese New Year's Eve is a vigil, anyway, tomorrow will be fine, let's continue to play." "There are no elders here this time, so you can stick a sticker.

Ian didn't know how to play mahjong, but since following Li Han, every time a friend comes, if there is a lack of three, he will pull Ian along. As a professional housekeeper, Ian naturally usually delves into it, so as not to make the boss and guests unhappy because of him, so he is now a mahjong master.

The note is pasted with water, and when the water dries up, it starts to fall down, and every now and then you have to dip it in some more water, and sometimes you have to touch or eat it, and while you put the note back on your face, you have to shout: "Wait a minute, I'll touch/eat." "It's just busy, and there are constant jokes.

Li Han didn't really pull them to stay up all night, staying up late is not good for health, and they are not people who are used to staying up late. When Lydia began to yawn, Li Han touched the notes on his face, looked at the three faces that could barely see the skin, and said, "There is no place to put the notes, go to sleep."
