Chapter 380: New Year's Dinner (4)
The world is impermanent.
Overnight, the world was turned upside down.
Tang Yuan's tone was low, and tears were falling in tears, as if he couldn't wipe them off.
Wen Mingtang hugged Tang Yuan and comforted him in a low voice, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Fei who was screaming: It's no wonder to him, after all, Tang Yuan himself knows about this matter, and it is actually no different whether he says it or not.
Glancing at Zhao You, who picked up the branches that Lin Fei had thrown away, and began to pull the ground in a similar way, Wen Mingtang sighed: Come on, some people in this world will not comfort people, such as the two in front of them.
That being the case, she looked at Lin Fei and asked, "Lin Shaoqing is also going to have a New Year's dinner here today?" ”
No matter how much you always slip out, you can't slip out of the New Year's dinner.
Lin Fei said: "No need, I'll go back and eat." This is not the time to talk nonsense, Lin Fei didn't stay long, but just told Zhao You, who was playing with the branches on the side: "If there is nothing to do after eating, stay here and keep vigil!" ”
Now that the annual leave is over, Master Wen will definitely stay here to accompany the rice balls, and the two girls will stay here, which is not very safe.
Although compared to ordinary women, Master Wen has some self-preservation ability, and it is not a problem to deal with one or two small thieves who are not successful. But when she thinks about it, how can she be an ordinary little thief? Lin Fei felt that it would be better to let Zhao You stay here to keep vigil.
As for Ah Bing...... Although he is a man, if he really encounters a bad person, he may not be as good as Master Wen, not to mention the situation in his family, I am afraid that after this experience, he will try his best to prevent him from coming.
Zhao You listened, and immediately threw away the branch in his hand with an "oh" and said, "Gotcha!" Where to sleep is not to sleep, the floor is thicker, and the charcoal basin is warmer! ”
He Zhao You is not a particular person, and he speaks very sincerely, isn't vigil the same as sleeping?
When Tang Yuan on the side heard this, he hurriedly said: "Sleep and sleep!" I keep vigil and sleep, how can I really ask people to keep their eyes open all night? Besides, my dad ...... My dad has always been the most reasonable. As he said the last sentence, his voice fell, and Tang Yuan reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes again.
I always feel like these tears can't be stopped! buried his head in Wen Mingtang's arms and whimpered lowly.
When Lin Fei heard this, he nodded, and reminded Zhao You again: "The safety of the two of them will be in your hands!" ”
Zhao You nodded again.
Seeing this, Lin Fei turned his head to look at Wen Mingtang, who was comforting the rice balls on the side, and paused for a moment, and then when Wen Mingtang thought he was going to say something to tell her, he heard him say: "The New Year is safe and smooth!" ”
Wen Mingtang raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and hurriedly said: "Lin Shaoqing is safe and smooth, everything goes well!" ”
"Okay," he nodded, looking into her eyes, his tone as calm as ever, "it will be okay." ”
With that, he turned and walked out the door.
The sky is already half dark, and the firecrackers and fireworks outside the house are crackling.
Wen Mingtang calmed the rice balls and called Zhao You to go to the temporary dining table in the kitchen for a New Year's dinner.
first wiped his eyes with a wet handkerchief, and then covered the eyes of the rice balls and applied a compress to his crying and swollen eyes, taking advantage of the efforts of the rice balls to apply his eyes, Wen Mingtang led Zhao You to bring out the food.
When all the dishes were placed on the table, Tang Yuan removed the veil covering his eyes and looked at the table: in just over an hour, Master Wen had made a full table of dishes.
There is a casserole in the middle of the table, and in the casserole is the three fresh mushroom egg dumplings that have just been served from the small stove.
Surrounded by prepared cold and hot dishes: saliva chicken, smoked fish, Sixi meatballs, steamed cured meat, cucumbers, stir-fried vegetarian leafy vegetables and other dishes Zhao You couldn't help but exclaim: "Master Wen can not be immortal?" How do you cook so many dishes in just over an hour? ”
"There is indeed an immortal method," Wen Mingtang glanced at Zhao You and said with a smile, "This immortal method is called 'practice makes perfect', let's eat!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and took the warm plum fruit wine from the small stove.
Before moving the chopsticks, looking at Tang Yuan and Zhao You, Wen Mingtang lifted the half-bowl of fruit wine and touched it with the two, and said: "Everything is smooth in the New Year, travel safely, and be healthy!" ”
The two of them also replied with "all the best" and "auspicious and smooth", and then began to move the chopsticks.
Needless to say, Zhao Youzi's appetite has always been excellent, and the dishes that the chef has made before, such as saliva chicken, cucumbers, and stir-fried vegetarian dishes, are delicious.
The steamed cured meat platter in the pork sausage, chicken and duck leg meat and other kinds are neatly placed on a plate, Zhao Youtou chopsticks stretched out to the plate of steamed cured meat, compared to the ordinary chicken, duck and pork, this cured meat has faded some water through pickling, and the taste is a lot firmer, with the unique fragrance of cured bacon.
This dish is very simple at first glance, just spread some ginger shreds and steam, but when it comes to the entrance, Zhao You tastes something other than the simplicity seen by the naked eye, and the cured bacon in the entrance is still the one that you taste in the vegetarian day, but there is a strong aroma of wine, and there is some sweetness when you chew it carefully.
Seeing that Zhao You slowed down his chewing movements, Wen Mingtang smiled and put a piece of sausage into his bowl with chopsticks, and then said: "If this bacon itself is well done, only add rice wine and sugar, and it will be delicious enough when steamed." ”
The glutinous rice balls, who had not eaten properly for several days, took a sip of green plum fruit wine, and then raised his chopsticks and stretched out to the smoked fish that had never been made before, but listened to Master Wen for a long time.
The smoked fish, which needs to be boiled, fried and marinated, is really as Master Wen said, and the taste is quite unique.
The marinated smoked fish is salty and sweet, obviously the marinade is eaten in full, and when you bite into it, the fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is slightly chewy when chewed carefully. The most special thing is the slightly wrinkled fish skin like tiger skin, which is fried and marinated as if it is wrapped in a layer of sweet honey pulp.
Xu is already very good at her appetite, or perhaps, as Master Wen said, sweet food will make people feel a little better, and the rice balls have stretched out several chopsticks to the smoked fish.
These days have been like a nightmare, as soon as she closes her eyes, she can see Daddy gently admonishing herself in front of her, and at the same time, she can see Daddy lying there and will not move again.
Over and over again, like the walking dead. Xu is people's growth is overnight, the changes in relatives, the changes in Ah Bing's family, she is not unaware.
It was the second aunt who did it, although she was angry and sad, she was not too surprised.
In the past, I only felt admiration when I saw Master Wen taking care of his daily routine in an orderly manner alone. Now, when it comes to me, I realize how difficult it all is.
In all fairness, her situation is much better than that of Master Wen. So...... Chewing the fish skin wrapped in honey syrup in her mouth, the soup ball swallowed: she had to cheer up, keep what Daddy left her, and try to live!
Just like when she was selected to work next to Master Wen at the beginning of the year, when she learned the first dish and went home to cook it with Daddy, Daddy said: she can learn a craft, and Daddy won't have to worry about it anymore in the future!
