Although the Queen's expeditions are mostly together throughout the year, they often go their separate ways when it comes to major festivals.

The main thing is that the relationship in the queen's family is more complicated, such as Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year, no matter how independent and capable you are, you are always a junior in the eyes of the elders at home, and you must go back.

This year is the same, three days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the queen finally couldn't bear the continuous urging calls at home, left her team members and ran away.

In the past, there were only two dogs and Qi Jue left, and the two dogs generally ran away. Or go back to Canada to see your parents (yes, this guy also has a parent), or go to play all over the world.

As for how Qi Jue spends the Spring Festival every year, it is not in his scope of attention. Xiao Qi Ye is also involved too much, and he doesn't want to be too clear.

However, this year's situation is more special, because there is more Hao Dong.

Ergou had already booked a ticket back to Canada, but before leaving, he heard Hao Dong discussing the dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Qi Jie, and immediately realized that someone could cook for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet!

The result of waking up was that this guy immediately refunded the ticket, and he didn't go back to his home, so he was in the research institute, and he must spend the Spring Festival with Hao Dongqi.

Hao Dong couldn't do anything about him, Qi Jue wanted to throw him out, but Xiao Qi Ye had been taught too well since he was a child, and Ergou was very proactive, which made him unable to do it.

Because of Ergou, in addition to helping to buy and wash vegetables, he also took the initiative to pay for most of the raw materials.

In order to eat, he can do absolutely anything!

Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has been popular in restaurants to eat seafood in recent years, but Hao Dong they make their own food, not so particular, as long as the taste is good and the portion is enough, everything is good, but there are not so many entanglements.

However, some traditional names can still be followed, such as the fact that there must always be a fish in the dish, which means that there is more than enough every year; On Chinese New Year's Eve, soybeans should be put in the rice, the so-called golden ten thousand taels; Spring rolls and dumplings are also prepared during the New Year's holiday, and the dumplings are specially wrapped in washed coins, which are good luck for eating.

Aside from that, the rest can be played freely.

Hao Dong didn't expect anything else, the first thing that came to mind was that these two were both big stomachs, and he was also good at eating at present, so in addition to the regular dishes, it was more practical to simply make a hot pot.

Of course, this hot pot will be a little smaller than usual, just order a small charcoal pot, cook a wild duck pot, and wait for the duck meat to drink most of the soup after scooping up, and then mix it with water to boil, you can directly use it to blanch beef and mutton and various vegetables.

When Hao Dong originally discussed the dishes with Qi Jue, he was still very serious about pleasing the same mouth, so the previous dishes had a saying.

Steamed sea bass is more than every year, wild duck pot is spring river plumbing, and the rest of the golden rooster is full of golden jade to Wishing you prosperity Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang. This is basically an occupational disease, and there is a certain compulsion.

After listening to Ergou, he gave him a roll of his eyes:

"Little rattle, let's not do a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet to the outside world, we want to get so many mouthshit. Let's eat it ourselves, just look at the name of the dish to know the dish! I'll buy you the ingredients according to the name of the dish. Wishing you prosperity is full of gold and jade, otherwise I will rob the bank, let's get some gold bars and silver nuggets to cook and eat? ”

Hao Dong was yelled at, and cautiously went to see Qi Jue, hoping to get a little support from the other party. It's a pity that Ergou's suggestion is obviously more to Xiao Qiye's appetite, and he has been smiling and not speaking.

Hao Dong was defeated, put away the fancy menu, and started writing a vernacular menu again.

Ergou asked while looking at it, Hao Dong finished the menu, and Ergou basically asked all the ingredients needed for the dish.

If there is anything on Ergou's body that can make Hao Dong worship him like he worships Qi Jue, it is the only one. He didn't repeat it after asking this once, and went directly to the street to prepare, and the materials he brought back were all right.

This is really not what he usually likes to eat, so pay attention to it, it is purely his memory that will definitely be exerted when it comes to preparing ingredients.

If the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is just dealt with, it can be done in half a day. But since there are three people this time, and there is nothing to do at the end of the year, Hao Dong plans to do it seriously.

In this way, the ingredients must be prepared two or three days in advance. This is because the ingredients of many dishes need to be processed and marinated in advance.

Fortunately, they stayed in the Queen's Listing Research Institute anyway, which was very well equipped, and even if there were a large number of fresh ingredients, they could be properly placed in the cold storage of the large kitchen.

Ergou, who has no worries, is very happy to procure, and he can see a little bit of everything, and he moved a lot of them in two days, which made Hao Dong a little overwhelmed.

Because except for beef and mutton rolls and all kinds of hot pot special fish balls, shrimp dumplings, swallow meat dumplings, crab sticks and the like that don't need to be processed much, most of the others still need Hao Dong to handle them one by one.

For example, chickens, ducks and geese, and two dogs buy live for freshness. More is not more, two of each. It's all fat like something, and the flesh on the body is thick, and you can feel it when you grasp it.

These must all be slaughtered on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it will definitely be too late in time. Two days before Hao Dong's Chinese New Year's Eve, he slaughtered fish and chickens every day to process all kinds of fresh food, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, many dishes that required labor were started in the morning.

If you buy vegetables too early and eat them too early, the taste will deteriorate, so it is best to buy them on the same day and eat them on the same day.

Ergou is indeed not in vain over the years, very familiar with the supply rules of various vegetable farms, Chinese New Year's Eve early in the morning drove out, circled down, and pulled back all the vegetables needed before the vegetable farm closed for the holiday.

came back in the same car, as well as Zhao Zheng.

Ergou was very sensitive, and when he saw Hao Dongzhi looking at them in a daze, his face changed, and he immediately became angry: "! Little mouse, what do you see! I had to make up this thing myself! ”

"Thing" Zhao Ye smiled and said: "What am I?" ”

Ergou inexplicably felt a cold back, and a hand crutch went over, but Zhao Zheng's movements were more agile, and he ran directly to the house: "Hao Dong, you're welcome if you want to help." ”

Hao Dong finally came back to his senses: "Brother Zhao, are you not going home for the New Year?" ”

Zhao Zheng also had bitterness and couldn't say, if he didn't have to go home, he would have been in Nanjing, that family was full of workaholics, Baba urged him back, and told him that the family had to be on duty on Chinese New Year's Eve and he would spend it at home alone.

The Zhao family has a certain status in the army, but it cannot be compared with those big families. Back then, Mr. Zhao sacrificed for the country to lay a good foundation for the development of his two sons, and over the years, their family has never dared to relax.

The workaholic Zhao family is actually quite famous, and it is simply too normal to be on duty on Chinese New Year's Eve.

But in general, only one of the two families will have their turn, so they can live a serious year together. This year, Zhao Zheng's father and his uncle, the two families were scheduled for the Chinese New Year's Eve night shift together.

But of course he wouldn't say this kind of thing casually, Hao Dong asked, he just snorted haha: "It's not the same whether you go home or not, since the guy from Ergou is sassy with me, then I naturally want to come over and fight the autumn breeze haha." ”

Anyway, it was true that when I was going to report directly to the military headquarters, I met Ergou on the road, so I temporarily decided to follow.

As he spoke, Qi Jue appeared in front of everyone carrying a huge bamboo basket, which contained all kinds of refrigeration brought from the large kitchen of the canteen.

Their dorm building is designed to be small in size, but comfortable.

There are four rooms on one floor, in addition to each with a separate bathroom, and at the corner of the stairs, there will be a lot of space that can be used as a living room for everyone living on the same floor.

They didn't want to eat in the empty environment of the cafeteria for Chinese New Year's Eve, so they carried the gas stove and canned gas up early in the morning, set up a round table in that empty space, and set up a stove next to it, planning to spend it like this.

During the Chinese New Year, almost everyone in the institute went home, except for the janitors. But they have the fun of their old man, so Hao Dong and the others toss so much in the building, and no one cares.

As soon as Ergou saw Qi Jue appear, he immediately dragged him down to unload the goods on the truck. Anyway, Xiao Qi Ye has a lot of strength, and this kind of transportation and strong labor does not need to be used in vain.

This Hao Dong began to prepare cold dishes.

It's definitely going to be a drink at night, and everyone doesn't have high requirements for alcohol anyway, so two boxes of beer piled up in the corner should be enough. The appetizers are just these eight cold dishes, not to be too high-end and exquisite, just to suit the taste.

Now that Zhao Zheng has his hand, Hao Dong can get it faster.

The first one is brine peanuts.

This is supposed to be a southern dish, and unlike the shelled peanuts sold in ordinary stores, this one needs to be cooked in the shell.

First pinch the peanut shell open a slit, then put water in the pot, fennel, star anise, cinnamon and other spices together, and boil. Cook on low heat until the aroma in the pot overflows, add salt and a small amount of sugar to enhance the freshness, and finally add the brine juice and continue to cook until it is cooked thoroughly.

At this time, it can already be eaten, but the peanuts themselves have not yet penetrated the taste because they are shelled, so they can be placed first, and when they are cooled, it is a very delicious cold dish.

The second salted crispy chicken, this one is only eaten for one taste, and the amount is not large. Only half of a chicken was used, and the other half was removed, and the chicken skeleton and chicken head and feet were taken together to boil the soup for later use.

The third honey sauce glutinous rice date, this is Xiao Qiye's favorite. Cut open the jujubes, take out the jujube kernels, fill them with glutinous rice flour noodles mixed with sugar and milk, steam them in the upper drawer, and then pour honey water. Eat it cold, it's cold and sweet, it's the so-called smile ever.

Xiao Qiye's insect tooth problem is over, and now as long as you don't eat much at one time, plus pay attention to brushing your teeth after meals, it's not a big problem.

The fourth course is cold jellyfish head. Jellyfish are soaked a few days in advance, and today only need to be mixed last. Because the steps are really simple, this dish is simply made by Zhao Zheng.

The fifth course is to mix three shreds, which is actually shredded radish. It's just that the selection of materials is more fancy, using white radish carrots and rock sugar radish.

Both carrots and rock sugar radishes can be eaten raw, and they are made by kneading through the salt. That is, white radish, which will be a little fishy and spicy when eaten raw. However, Hao Dong planned to make this dish spicy, and he also added spicy sauce when mixing, so it doesn't matter if the shredded radish itself is spicy.

The sixth crystal meat, this is a more troublesome dish, it has to go through several processes before and after, and some of them need to take several days, so this is one of the dishes that Hao Dong began to prepare at the earliest.

This dish looks crystal clear on the outside and delicate pink on the inside. It smells fragrant and fragrant, and it is suitable for fat and lean in the mouth, and it melts in the mouth with a rich and fragrant taste, and the taste is very unique.

Although the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be served as a cold dish first, it is enough to definitely serve as a big dish.

The seventh course is the gray cabbage picked up by the two dogs, cold salad. I don't know where Ergou got the fresh gray cabbage, and the color of the mixed is better than the dried one.

The eighth course is the brine foie gras, the foie gras slices are full, soft and moderate, and the special Chaozhou brine is poured on top, with Foshan Fen hoof juice, which is very authentic.

As soon as these eight cold dishes were served, the heat of the New Year came out immediately.
