Chapter 192: New Year's Dinner
Chapter 191: Reunion Dinner
"Thank you......" Xia Duogui pursed his lips, and his stomach was full of words, all of which turned into this thanks.
The corners of Xia Qiqi's mouth hooked up a faint smile, "Thank you, Uncle Six, hurry up and enter the house, just take a look with my father, what else do you have to prepare at home!" When the time comes, we will prepare to invite our ancestors and then have a reunion dinner! ”
The customs in this area of Dayu Village, the reunion dinner does not necessarily have to be at night, starting from the morning, and the whole day can be reunion.
But in the evening the family has to gather around and eat a hot dumpling.
Lao Xia's family has always eaten a New Year's dinner at noon, prepared materials to make dumplings in the afternoon, and cooked dumplings in the evening.
At night, the children set off firecrackers, the adults chatted, kept the New Year, and then gave the children New Year's money.
Speaking of New Year's money, Xia Qiqi remembered in his mind the situation of the four rooms a few years ago.
The children of the other members of Lao Xia's family, even if they are daughters, can get a few pennies from Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia.
Only the fourth room, because Yu Guixiang did not give birth to a son, not only did she not press the New Year's money, but even when she had a New Year's meal, she could only squat in the stove room.
Fortunately, now the four-room life is better, and I don't have to be angry with those people in the Lao Xia family anymore!
Xia Qiqi returned to the stove room and continued to prepare the New Year's dinner.
Lu Jiu and Xia Duoyue were two, neither of them looked at each other unpleasantly, and they both stared at Xia Qiqi at the same time.
However, Xia Qiqi was busy cooking, and he couldn't take care of the two big-eyed people.
Chicken, meat, and fish are all indispensable for the New Year's Dinner.
The fish must be a whole fish, which means that there is a 'surplus' every year.
Meat Xia Qiqi is ready to make boiled meat slices, as for the chicken, it is naturally simmered in a large stew pot and simmered for an hour and a half, and the chicken soup stewed out at that time is fresh and delicious.
Fortunately, these are Xia Qiqi's specialty dishes, and they are also handy to make.
In the stove room, the crackling sound of chopping meat, combined with the sound of firecrackers outside for the New Year, Xia Qiqi was full of energy, and the smile on his face became more and more brilliant.
Finally, the last dish was ready, Xia Qiqi said to Lu Jiu and Xia Duoyue: "The rice is almost cooked, Ah Jiu, sister-in-law, help me go and call someone to eat!" ”
Xia Duoyue looked at her and rushed out excitedly.
Lu Jiu stood in the same place as the stove room, motionless.
As soon as Xia Duoyue left, he came up.
Stretched out his hand to beat Xia Qiqi's back, and while beating his back, he looked at Xia Qiqi flatteringly.
He was probably really forced by Xia Duoyue, otherwise he had always been arrogant, where would he take the initiative to please her?
But Xia Qiqi is quite useful.
A big beauty who captivates the country and the city, no, a handsome guy, beats her back, her attitude is so good that she can't find a bad place, shouldn't she be happy?
But it didn't take long for everyone to come.
There is no dining room in the fourth room, and there is no lobby, so meals can only be eaten in the stove room.
Fortunately, the stove room is big enough, everyone surrounds the table, and as soon as the bench is placed, the food is served.
Xia Qiqi made a total of twelve dishes, which was not a matter at the end of the old Xia family's main house.
The dishes basically do not coincide, that is, these twelve dishes are all different.
Looking at the table full of dishes and the full of rice, Xia Duofu was about to pinch out the water with a smile on his face.
"I'll ask the ancestors first, and you can help pour the wine!" Chardorf commanded.
Xia Qiqi took out the wine jar, first poured the wine into a large bowl, and then used a large bowl to pour it into the small bowl on the table.
Xia Duofu chanted the words there for a long time, and made everyone wait for a long time.
Finally he spoke, "It's time to eat!" ”
As soon as Xia Duofu finished speaking, everyone found their place and sat down to eat.
Such a large table of dishes, in the eyes of everyone, is still like a dream.
"It's a good day, I feel ...... I've never had such a good day in the past! Xia Duofu sighed.
Others followed suit.
"It's still Qiqi well prepared, even outside, I've never seen such a sumptuous dish!"
Xia Duogui was also a person who made a lot of money in the past, and most of his mind was on making money.
It's the first time he's seen so much delicious food.
The most important thing is that these dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor at first glance, and the chefs outside may not be as good as Qiqi.
"Don't praise me, eat quickly!" Xia Qiqi's face was slightly red.
"Haha, shy, what we say is the truth! Your table of dishes, even if you look at the entire Dayu Village, it is estimated that no one can compare!
If we do a good job, we just want to praise, otherwise who will have the motivation to do things in the future? Xia Duogui said.
"If you say you do it well, we all do it well! My mother is still working, and so is my father, and he hasn't rested for a day.
Ah Jiu's strength at home is even bigger than it can be calculated. Hua'er and Duo'er are very sensible, and even the sister-in-law is becoming more and more obedient. Uncle Six is also working hard towards his goal, and we should all praise him! ”
Xia Qiqi's words praised the whole family.
Everyone was happy.
Isn't the Chinese New Year just a summary of what happened this year, and then look forward to a better year?
At least, everyone is good and working hard in this year!
"Qiqi is really good at talking, and Uncle Six can't talk about you!" Xia Duogui opened his mouth half-jokingly.
"What's the matter, Uncle Sixth is seeing me small, let me! You're welcome, let's eat these dishes with an open belly today! Xia Qiqi said.
Everyone finally picked up the chopsticks.
There are so many dishes, sliced meat, chicken soup, braised fish, egg dumplings......
If you really choose, it's really easy to lose your eyes.
In addition, every dish made by Xia Qiqi was delicious, and the portion was sufficient, and everyone ate with a greasy mouth and a comfortable mood.
After eating, they all covered their bellies, happily saying that they were too full.
Even Lu Jiu, who rarely asked Xia Qiqi to bake sweet potatoes immediately after the meal, must have been really full.
Yu Guixiang rested for a while, and was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks with Xia Qiqi.
was rejected by Xia Qiqi, "Mother, for the New Year today, you also have a day off, and all the work in this stove room will be done by me!" ”
"Then I don't work, and I have nothing to do!" Yu Guixiang said.
"Who said it's okay, it's not enough to eat, you and my dad go out for a walk and consume food!
When you come back, this stove room will definitely be clean! Flowers, flowers, you take the cannon and go out to play, but don't forget, what the eldest sister said yesterday! Xia Qiqi instructed.
"Good!"
The two little sisters couldn't wait to go out to play, and Xia Qiqi made a holy decree, and they ran faster than rabbits one by one.
Xia Duogui originally wanted to take Xia Duoyue to nest at home, but he was also persuaded by Xia Qiqi to go out.
When he arrived at Lu Jiu, Xia Qiqi said, "Ah Jiu, do you want to go to the mountains and see your partners?" ”
