Chapter 405: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

Today, I have to prepare a large table of dishes, and there are many places to be busy.

And during the Chinese New Year, you can't make all the pastries.

Gao Dian doesn't know much about the skills of the red case chef.

But they are all chefs, and they also have similarities, such as mastery of heat.

Gao Dian is not a red case chef, but he has no problem cooking some home-cooked dishes.

As time slowly passed, the uncle and the third uncle's family arrived one after another.

Gao Dian walked out of the kitchen and found that his parents had cleaned the surroundings very cleanly.

"Grandparents, uncles, aunts, third uncles, third aunts......" Gao Dian called out one by one.

In rural areas, you must be able to call people, especially the younger generation, if you can't call people, you are ignorant.

Gao Dian shouted one after another.

The cousin said, "Are you in charge tonight?" ”

Gao Dian nodded in response.

"Do you want me to help you?" The cousin asked.

Gao Dian smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't need to help anything, I'll do it alone." ”

Now there is still a little time before dinner time, and everyone is idle, so they sit together to play cards and entertain and kill time.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gao Dian walked out of the kitchen and shouted, "Everyone is about to clean up, eat immediately!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately began to clean up.

A group of people suddenly poured into the kitchen, serving dishes and bowls.

In a short time, the table was filled with various dishes and dim sum.

There is sweet and sour fish, which means that there is more than enough every year.

There is braised pork, which is booming.

There are also braised vegetables, stir-fried green vegetables, stewed radish with pig's trotters, beef roasted potatoes, black chicken soup, and fried duck with green peppers.

The noodles include white jade jade dumplings, lily crisps, mash dumplings, dragon beard noodles, and white flour steamed buns.

A big table of talents, full of them.

I was afraid that some people wouldn't like to eat pasta, so Gao Dian also deliberately steamed rice.

In order to get this, Gao Dian started doing it in the morning and has been doing it until now.

Seeing this table of dishes, Aunt Gao Dian said, "Xiaodian, these are all made by you alone?" ”

"Yes, Xiaodian did it alone, and we are not allowed to help." Zhou Yanxia said with a smile, the pride on her face was about to overflow.

When Gao Dian heard this, he just smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

The eldest aunt exclaimed, "That's amazing! One person can cook such a large table of dishes, which is worthy of being a famous chef in our family. ”

On the side, Xiao Ru touched Gao Dian's cousin's shoulder and said, "Why don't you come to learn from Xiao Dian?" You can make it for me in the future. ”

Gao Dian's cousin said: "I don't have this talent. ”

"You're just lazy." Xiao Ru rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, everyone laughed good-naturedly.

"Let's sit down and eat, the food will be cold later." Gao Huaqiang greeted.

After that, everyone sat in their respective seats, exactly ten people, sitting at a table.

Everyone ate slowly, and exclamations rang out from time to time.

The main thing is that this dish is very delicious, and although Gao Dian is not proficient in the red case, he is also better than ordinary people.

After all, if you master this aspect, Gao Dian is very powerful.

Of course, what really amazed everyone was the pastry made by Gao Dian, and they found that each of the noodles was particularly delicious.

And that dumpling is even more special.

The outside is glutinous, but the inside has the fragrance of vegetables and the toughness of the dough. The filling inside is made from a mixture of various ingredients, and its flavor is so special that it is hard to forget once you eat it.

Soon, everyone finished eating the pasta on the table.

The crispy and sweet lily crisp, the delicate dragon beard noodles, the sweet and sour Liao rice balls, the white jade jade dumplings with a unique taste, and even the white flour steamed buns, there is not a single left.

And there are still a lot of meat dishes left on the table.

Eating is relatively fast, but drinking is not fast.

Today is the Chinese New Year, everyone is happy, so the three Gao Huaqiang brothers sat together and drank slowly.

Others slowly dispersed and chatted.

"Xiaodian, with your craft, the store you opened should be very profitable, right?" The third aunt asked.

They knew that Gao Dian was opening a store outside, but they only knew that it was a small restaurant, and as for Dian Xin Lou, they didn't know.

"It's okay." Gao Dian said.

"It's definitely going to make money, just think about Xiaodian's fame." The eldest aunt said at this moment.

And Gao Dian's grandparents listened with a smile, and the two of them were very happy that Gao Dian was promising.

The descendants have a future, which is a great comfort to the two old men.

Suddenly, Grandma Gao Dian spoke: "Xiaodian, you are now considered to have a successful career, when will your granddaughter-in-law bring it back to see?" ”

The smile on Gao Dian's face froze, and he had a headache, how could he ...... It's back to the topic.

He really didn't want to talk about it.

His grandmother's words were like dropping a bomb on calm water.

Suddenly stirred up layers of waves.

For them, that's what they like the most.

So, the eldest aunt and the third aunt began to talk about this topic.

"Xiaodian, you are all this age, you should find a girlfriend, you brothers and sisters, you are not married yet." The third aunt said.

When Gao Dian heard this, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

The three of them, his cousin and cousin, have already turned out, and he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.

"Xiaodian, do you want your sister-in-law to introduce you to one?" The eldest aunt said.

Gao Dian smiled awkwardly and said, "No need, no need." ”

"Why not, Xiaoru, do you know any girls who are still single?" The eldest aunt asked Gao Dian's sister-in-law in the next sentence.

"I'll have to ask." Gao Dian's sister-in-law said with a smile, and then she said: "Xiaodian is so good, it must be easy to find a girlfriend, maybe I just don't want to find it now." ”

Gao Dian cast a grateful look like his sister-in-law, he was helping him speak.

"It's okay, you can watch it first anyway, and if it's not suitable, you can change it." The third aunt said.

Gao Dian smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

The aunt continued, and there they began to talk.

Gao Dian didn't get up and leave, they were all elders.

In a trance, Gao Dian remembered a joke.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, there will be such a relative, who is about to be thirty years old and has no object, and now that relative has become himself.

Gao Dian felt this way.

At this time, Zhou Yanxia suddenly said: "Xiaodian has a favorite girl, you can leave him alone." ”

Gao Dian was a little surprised, it stands to reason that this kind of topic should be her mother's favorite, and she can't wait to get married immediately.

But will he help him out?

Zhou Yanxia still feels sorry for her son, she said yes, but others said that letting him fall into this embarrassing situation is what Zhou Yanxia doesn't want to see.

Hearing Zhou Yanxia's words, everyone didn't say anything more.

"Do you still drink? Or take a look at the Spring Festival Gala? Zhou Yanxia shouted.

"Immediately, we drank the wine, and we stopped drinking." Gao Huaqiang returned.

"That's it, right away."

The eldest aunt and the third aunt all spoke out to question, and suddenly the three of them didn't dare to continue drinking.

They put their things away, and the aunts helped to put the dishes in and wash them.

Soon, the cleaning was done quickly, and everyone sat around and watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

In fact, watching the show, everyone is not interested, they don't like the Spring Festival Gala very much.

The Spring Festival Gala is just an atmosphere.

At this time, everyone is chatting.

Or grab the red envelope in the family group, although the amount is only one piece or two, but everyone has a lot of fun.

Gao Dian looked at the group called "Blind Date and Love Family", red envelopes kept appearing, and he also sent a few.

The amount he sent was not very large, only fifty yuan, anyway, it was divided into several for everyone to grab.

Grabbing red envelopes in the Chinese New Year group is actually an atmosphere. If you grab it, you will be happy if you have more than others.

Time passed slowly, and the red envelopes sent in the group slowly decreased.

Everyone chatted slowly, chatting with the people around them for a while, and chatting with the people on their phones for a while.

Melon seeds and peanuts play a great role at this time, allowing people to have something to eat while chatting.

In addition to sending red envelopes in the family group, Gao Dian also sent a few red envelopes in the group of Dianxin Building, making everyone happy.

In addition to him, Wei Qiaoyi is also posting.

The red envelopes of the two bosses for the New Year made everyone more enthusiastic.

In fact, at work, everything is empty when talking about ideals, and only the stimulation of money is the greatest.

And so, it was slowly approaching twelve o'clock.

The uncle's family and the third uncle's family got up to say goodbye, they were going back.

Gao Huaqiang didn't stay, he knew what they had to do when they went back, so he only told them to slow down on the road.

Before leaving, the three Gao Huaqiang brothers discussed the time to meet tomorrow and left.

At twelve o'clock, firecrackers are set off, which is a traditional custom.

This is also the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

When you set off firecrackers, you need to be in your own home.

So they had to rush back before 12 o'clock, otherwise they wouldn't be able to set off firecrackers.

The custom of setting off firecrackers during the New Year originated very early, and it was said that it was to drive away the New Year beasts at first. Of course, the year beast is just a legend, but this custom has been handed down.

Firecrackers seem to have become a symbol of the New Year, and Wang Anshi has a poem "One year old in the sound of firecrackers".

It's twelve o'clock, and it doesn't mean that you have to set off firecrackers, but you can also set off fireworks.

This is based on the individual's economic ability, cheap firecrackers, only a dozen yuan, or even a few yuan.

If you are financially rich, you can set off hundreds of barrels of fireworks.

After sending off the eldest uncle and the third uncle, Gao Dian and Gao Huaqiang also began to prepare for the fireworks to be set off.

This year, Gao Dian came back to buy fireworks, several barrels.

The money was spent, which made Zhou Yanxia feel distressed, but Gao Huaqiang was quite supportive.

Every year, when I watch other houses set off fireworks, they can only set off firecrackers.

Although the meaning is the same, I can't help but envy.

The same is true of Gaodian.

He couldn't help but envy others, in the past Chinese New Year, he stood on a high place and watched others set off fireworks, the bright and beautiful fireworks made Gao Dian very envious.

Now Gao Dian is also rich, so he plans to let his house set off fireworks this year.

Set up the fireworks and wait for the time to come and light them.

At this time, the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala began.

With the countdown of the host in the Spring Festival Gala, it means that the last time of the year will slowly pass.

It means that the time of the new year is also slowly coming.

With the countdown of the host, Gao Dian and they also counted.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

……

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Immediately, the New Year's bell rang.

"Happy New Year!" The host in the Spring Festival Gala said.

Gao Dian and Gao Huaqiang ran out and lit the fireworks.

"Whew!" "Bang!"

The fireworks exploded, lighting up the night sky with dazzling and brilliant colors.

Gao Dian looked at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky in a daze, and was a little distracted for a while.

As the New Year's bell rings, fireworks begin to bloom everywhere, and the silent night sky suddenly comes alive.

Although the fireworks are gorgeous, they are short-lived and fleeting.

Soon a few barrels of fireworks were gone.

"More than a thousand dollars are gone?" Zhou Yanxia asked.

"yes, that's it." Gao Huaqiang said.

"It's a waste, more than a thousand dollars will be heard." Zhou Yanxia said.

Gao Dian said with a smile: "It's good to look good, you can still earn it when the money is gone." ”

"My son is right." Gao Huaqiang said.

Zhou Yanxia rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, yes!" ”

Then she laughed again and said, "It's really pretty." ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the house." Gao Huaqiang said.

The three of them returned to the house, and the Spring Festival Gala continued.

"Mom and Dad, do you still want to watch it? Or went to sleep? Gao Dian asked.

"I'll see again, your mother should be sleepy and want to go to sleep." Gao Huaqiang said.

"Then I'll go to sleep first." Gao Dian said.

"Xiaodian, you wait." Zhou Yanxia suddenly shouted.

"How?" Gao Dian turned his head a little confused.

"Here's for you." Zhou Yanxia took out a red envelope and handed it to Gao Dian.

Looking at the red envelope in his mother's hand, Gao Dian couldn't cry or laugh.

"Mom, I have money, you don't have to give it to me." Gao Dian said.

He is now a lot of children who need money from their parents, and he can now earn money on his own, not only to support himself, but even to afford his parents' expenses.

What he is thinking about now is how to give money to his parents, and how can he still collect money from his parents?

Zhou Yanxia said: "This money is different, this is New Year's money, if you put this money under the pillow, it will definitely be better in the coming year." ”

When Gao Dian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mom, I'm not a child, what else do I get for the New Year." ”

"In your mother's eyes, you've always been a child. Put this away and remember to press it under your pillow. Zhou Yanxia said.

"Okay." Gao Dian answered, and then put the money away.

Zhou Yanxia left with a smile, holding the red envelope of the New Year's money, Gao Dian was not ready to use it, and kept the money.

He went back to the room and put the red envelope under the pillow as his mother said, although he knew that it was useless, but it was also a blessing from his mother.

Lying on the bed, Gao Dian received a call from Wei Qiaoyi.

He chatted with Wei Qiaoyi for a while, that is, what happened today, and said Happy New Year.

Unconsciously, the two chatted a little, and then Gao Dian fell asleep.
