Chapter 70: Huo Jun's Meaning (1)

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xi Guang's family of four, who promised to come to Shili Manor for the New Year, arrived. Although Wang Wanru's expression didn't look so natural, the etiquette that should have not fallen at all: a car full of New Year's goods was carried. It is estimated that I went to the supermarket to buy a large number of gifts, and they are all beautifully packaged gift goods.

Xi's father and Xi's mother stopped refusing after a polite sentence, and instructed Xi Yixiao and the two brothers to move these New Year's goods into the big kitchen. Anyway, when they go back, they will also give them a copy of dry goods and lake fresh food produced by Zhuangzi, and the gifts are still exchanged

Xi Yiqing pulled a suitcase over this time, saying that she was going to stay until the end of the winter vacation.

Xi's mother asked Xi Yizheng to take them to her room to pick up. Xi Guangzhi and his wife lived in Xi Dad's building, and Xi Yiqing still lived in the next wing of Xi Yizheng. After packing their luggage, the two went to the big kitchen together to help make dumplings.

"Oh, Qingqing looks so much better dressed like this." After Xi Yiqing took off her heavy down jacket, she revealed a long white sweater and jeans inside, fresh and generous, and Xi's mother couldn't help but smile and praise. There is no makeup, but it is much more ruddy than the smoky makeup that is put on. That's what a college student looks like

"Auntie, I was ignorant before, and I won't in the future." Xi Yiqing said softly, of course she understood the meaning of Xi's mother's words. In the past few days, she has been introspecting and introspecting at home, and decided to say goodbye to all those dog meat friends of the five specialists, oh no, never again. I have come to the point where I am now, and I can't get rid of those people. Of course, it also has a lot to do with the lack of firmness of one's will. Grandpa was right at all: cut off any connection with the five colleges, and he could start a new life in a bright way. Not at all.

"Good. Auntie believes in you. Xi's mother nodded. If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you are a good child.

When night falls, the snow stops. Huo Jun and his younger brother also arrived with food.

"You kid, aren't you? There are many words that empty the Huoyuan warehouse? Dongfang Luming saw the New Year's gift stuffed in the entire trunk, and joked to Huo Jun with a smile. Xi Yizheng was also stunned for a moment, wasn't he? There are many words without mistakes, and she looked at Huo Jun suspiciously, who was directing Huo Yu to help move the New Year's goods out of the car.

"Put it there to occupy space, and your family can help consume some more." Conveniently, Huo Jun stuffed a beautifully packaged small box and gave Xi Yizheng, "New Year's gift." ”

"Thank you." Xi Yizheng smiled lightly and accepted his kindness, but he forgot to prepare a New Year's gift for him. Thinking that there is still a lot of cashmere thread left, I have time to knit a cashmere coat for him as a gift in return.

After entering the door, after Xi Yizheng introduced the Huo Jun brothers to everyone, the Xi family was stunned for a moment for the New Year gift brought by the Huo Jun brothers. After Xi's parents looked at each other, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop Huo Jun and Huo Yu from continuing to move the New Year's gift home, "Mr. Huo, this is too precious." The couple spoke in unison.

"Yes, boy Huo, it's nothing more than a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, can't you move all the treasures in the family" Old man Fang also quipped on the side. provoked a good-natured laughter from everyone.

"It's a waste to leave it at home. Today, I am fortunate to be here with Huo Yu for the New Year, so I have to ask you to help me consume some. When Huo Jun heard this, his always grim face softened a lot, and he explained to several elders with a smile that these things were really not worth much in his eyes, let alone spending Chinese New Year's Eve and dinner with the family of his favorite girl.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was much more natural than when he first entered the door. Xi's father and mother also reluctantly accepted the big gifts first, and motioned for their two sons to help move to the warehouse, so as not to be dazzling when they saw it.

Yes, a pair of wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, a large box of golden silk blood bird's nest, two boxes of winter, spring and summer grass, three boxes of extremely expensive Wuliangye, four boxes of the best red wine from the real Castel Manor in France, six authentic Jinhua hams, and eight cans of top Pu'er tea. In addition, there are several sacks of wild mushrooms such as fungus and red mushrooms produced in Changbai Mountain. It's really deep.

Wan Ru, who saw it on the side, was jealous, this was not the hairy foot son-in-law visiting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the scene was so sensational. If it is a formal visit or a marriage family, wouldn't it be a gift of gold and silver?

Xi Yiqing is sour: such a handsome, handsome and personable superb man does not belong to him. The man who let himself be treated with all his heart and lungs is cold.

Shen Man, who was squatting on the side and listening to the corner, was both shocked and surprised: if he could step into the door of the Xi family, wouldn't these expensive New Year's gifts have their own share?

Everyone had different minds and ushered in Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night.

In the Xi family's big dining room, two dragon and phoenix Chengxiang 12-seat reunion tables created by the old man Fang when he moved into the new residence of Yuanyizhuang have been neatly placed in the center, and the glass disc of each table has been placed on the glass disc of four meat and four vegetables, a total of eight delicate and appetizing cold dishes: ginger puff pastry eggs, crispy fried miscellaneous fish, French snails, marinated platter, hand-peeled jade shoots, sauce radish, glutinous rice and honey root, just wait for everyone to sit down and start the hot dishes.

After Huo Jun chatted with Old Man Xi and Old Man Fang and his wife, he politely declined the invitation to dine with them at the same table, and took Huo Yu to sit at another table where Xi Yizheng and other juniors were, next to Xi Yizheng

The seat on the right sat down, and Huo Yu also sat on Huo Jun's right side. Just kidding, if you sit in the middle of the family members, you can still eat happily.

So, the dragon table is dominated by Old Man Xi and Old Man Fang, and the rest are Mrs. Fang, Dongfang Luming, Uncle Xi and his wife, Xi's father and mother, Lin Bo, and Fang's sister-in-law. The phoenix table is dominated by Huo Jun's two brothers, and Xi Yichen, Xi Yixiao, Fu Ningrui, Xi Yidi, Xi Yiqing, Xi Yizheng, and Shen Man sit in turn.

After everyone was basically seated, after a unanimous vote, it was decided to open a bottle of Wuliangye for the men present to taste, and then drink the three-year-old Baihua brewed by Xi Yizheng. The ladies liked to drink fruit wine, so they opened a jar of cherry wine and a jar of peach wine. Each chooses their favorite wine to taste.

Huo Jun once drank Xi Yizheng to honor his Baihua brew at Dongfang Luming, which was really superb. In his opinion, it is completely better than Wuliangye and Moutai, which are called tribute wine and national liquor by the Chinese people. So this time, he unceremoniously asked Xi Yidi for a jar of Baihua Brew, and planned to pack it away if he couldn't finish it. Huo Yu had never seen such a ruffian-looking eldest brother, so he couldn't help snickering secretly. Xi Yizheng supported his forehead, as for it

Hot dishes were served one after another by Fang's sister-in-law from the big kitchen: crab roe and fresh mushrooms, dry pot local chicken pot, lily shrimp, Beijing crispy duck, vegetarian lobster, skewered hare, mustard salmon, fungus yam, blue crab fried rice cake, water chestnut with sauce meat, Bazhen seafood Huicui, bamboo sturgeon, ham steamed baby cabbage, meat and vegetarian matching, comprehensive nutrition, everyone looked at the delicacies on the table one after another, and began to eat them in a big way.

When the finale dish "Buddha jumping over the wall" came out of the kitchen, it smelled a burst of fresh fragrance before it was served.

"Hmm, it's so fragrant, it's a kite, this is what Mom said you have been preparing for several days of Buddha jumping over the wall?" Xi Yidi got up and rushed to Sister-in-law Fang, almost didn't stick to the crockpot, and naughtily sniffed hard.

"Wow, it really smells so good."

"You did it?" Huo Jun raised his eyebrows and asked Xi Yizheng, who was smiling and groaning beside him, this little woman is still deeply hidden, and even the big dish of "Buddha jumping over the wall" can be made, even if the taste is not good, the process alone is not easy.

The problem is, it doesn't taste good. The Buddha jumping over the wall, which contains all kinds of seafood and game, made everyone here praise it again and again, and it was so fresh that people even wanted to swallow the crockpot. People with quick eyes such as Xi Yidi and Xi Yiqing have already scooped up several bowls and swallowed them, and even Shen Man, who has a lot of disdain for Xi Yizheng's craftsmanship, has to secretly admire this, and even wants to learn how to take her to catch her husband's heart in the future.

A Chinese New Year's Eve meal with wine and coriander, everyone was full of fun. After the meal, a large platter of more than 10 kinds of fruits was even more eye-catching. Before, who would have thought that fruits could still spend such thoughts, at most three or four kinds of melons and fruits cut into slices. Now, Xi Yizheng poured well, found more than ten kinds of fresh fruits that can be found in winter, peeled and sliced, removed the seeds and dug the balls, and the edge of the fruit bowl was also decorated with flowers and lemons, making a big fruit bowl so delicate and rich, greatly surprised everyone.

Xi Yiqing has experienced a lot of things during the past few years, and her mentality has suddenly improved a lot.

However, Shen Man was different.

She saw that the people in the table and the hall were all without leaving the seat, and the Buddha jumped over the wall, and she thought that she really wouldn't do it. But what is this fruit platter, isn't it just to wash and wash the fruits, cut and dig and dig, and then decorate them with flowers and lemons, as for making everyone so appreciative, why change to yourself, maybe you can make a more beautiful and exquisite plate She secretly glanced at Huo Jun, who was serving vegetables and wine for her next to Xi Yizheng, although his face was cold, but the tenderness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Shen Man suddenly felt jealous in his heart. Looking back at Xi Yixiao, who was two seats away from him, although his appearance was not as handsome as Huo Jun's, and his career was not as prominent as Huo's enterprise, it was enough to make the girls scream loudly when he put it outside. If Xi Yixiao was brought to his best friend and introduced to them as his boyfriend, their eyes would fall Shen Man began to fantasize about his romantic relationship with Xi Yixiao. didn't know that she had no status in Xi Yixiao's heart at all. It's pure fantasy.

The final staple of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the dumplings with secret filling. Xi Yizheng learned from the Westerners, and added green vegetable juice, carrot juice, and red amaranth juice to the dough to make green, orange, and rose dumpling wrappers. There are also several kinds of stuffings in it: ordinary vegetable and mushroom filling, radish shredded beef filling, plum dried vegetable button meat filling, abalone stuffing made of fresh seafood, crystal shrimp filling, scallop chicken stuffing, and wild and interesting shepherd's cabbage filling, ginger and coriander filling, etc. It greatly satisfies the people with different tastes.
