Chapter 63: The Taste of the Year (Seeking to Follow-up)
The next day, in the evening.
The Spring Festival celebration of the Lin family's mansion came as scheduled.
After a day of busy work and arrangement, several round tables were placed in the front yard and hall of the Lin Mansion, and eight to ten wooden chairs were placed next to each table.
The current total population of the Lin family is still less than sixty people.
Of course, with the addition of the unborn who are still in the womb of pregnant women, the population should increase by at least ten people.
Despite this, the sense of ritual of the New Year still needs to be done sufficiently.
Lin Yufan had already ordered the kitchen a few days ago, and the dinner at the Spring Festival celebration would have twelve dishes.
And these twelve dishes were all personally selected by Lin Yufan, participated in the design and plating, or directly created by him.
This made the head chef admire this family owner even more.
Lin Yufan also set up a big banquet in the back garden, and the people who ate here were all powerful clansmen in the family.
Among them, the strength of the breakthrough in the foundation building period is him, the third grandfather Lin Zhenming, the sixth uncle Lin Angtian, the little aunt Lin Lixin, the little niece Lin Qiqi, and the family forging master Lin Niandao.
plus Lin Yufan's two spirit pets, Qingxing and Xue Ling.
Lin Yufan also prepared a small table for them on the side of the big table, after all, he knew that his two spirit pets were not weaker than him in their pursuit of food.
Secondly, it is the clansmen whose family strength is above the eighth level of qi refining.
Including his fifth grandfather Lin Zhenbao, fourth uncle Lin Angyu, fifth uncle Lin Angren, seventh uncle Lin Angqian, second aunt Lin Limeng, sister Lin Liuyan, eldest brother Lin Yumin, and second brother Lin Yujue.
Not long ago, Lin Zhenbao, Lin Limeng, Lin Liuyan and Lin Yumin all broke through to the tenth layer of Lin Lianqi.
Their original strength had basically reached the ninth level of qi refining, and the development and tranquility of the family in the past few months had also provided them with a suitable cultivation environment and sufficient cultivation resources.
It's not hard not to progress.
So there were fourteen people sitting around the table, but it didn't seem crowded.
Lin Yufan naturally counted the number of people and arranged a large round table.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the table seems a little restrained.
Of course, they all knew that the old patriarch's long-lost youngest daughter had also returned home this time.
Although everyone didn't know her specific strength, because they hadn't met before, it was inevitable that they would be a little angry.
Lin Yufan knew that this was also inevitable.
Fortunately, the food is coming up soon.
"The first dish is here~ The name of the dish, colorful clothes and red robes are flying together, please enjoy it slowly."
The kitchen guy served the first course, and since the round table was quite large, two dishes were quickly placed on the table.
There was also a small portion, which was also sent to Qingxing and Xue Ling.
Although the atmosphere at the table was a little awkward, everyone couldn't help but poke their heads over when they heard the name of this novel dish.
I saw that there were five separate positions on the disk.
On top, there are five different kinds of cold dishes, crispy peanuts, sliced lamb, cold bamboo shoots, sliced duck, and cold beans.
The most interesting thing is that in the middle of the cold cuts, there is a woman in colorful clothes who is "dancing".
This is exactly the "carving" skill that Lin Yufan painstakingly let the kitchen chef learn.
A good presentation can make a dish more meaningful, and also make this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner more festive and full of flavor.
"Everyone, try it, although the style of this cold dish is simple, the materials used are all spiritual plants or spiritual meat, and you can't eat this dish on weekdays." Lin Yufan spoke up.
Qiqi couldn't help it anymore, and when he heard Lin Yufan's voice, he hurriedly made a move, and everyone ate it.
When everyone heard Lin Yufan's description, the first thought in their hearts was, this is called simple style?
But soon, they were amazed by the taste of the dish.
Most of the immortal cultivators do not pursue the delicacy of food, they are all relatively high cultivators.
Generally, I just eat spiritual rice, and occasionally relieve my cravings.
It's just that the dish in front of them, not only has they never seen before, but each different dish is full of sufficient aura.
This made everyone feel as if they had lived up to the old days.
Who said that immortal cultivators should not be contaminated with the fireworks of the world? Delicious food and aura-filled ingredients are not contradictory at all!
Soon, the originally awkward desktop atmosphere was broken by this food.
The first course was eaten in less than a few moments.
Then, everyone began to discuss how the food was made, and even Lin Lixin talked and laughed with Lin Zhenming.
Lin Yufan saw this situation and felt very satisfied.
As a traveler, not to mention popularizing food culture, at least let yourself and your family enjoy it.
"The second dish is here~ The name of the dish, the flying dragon and the phoenix shine together, please enjoy it slowly."
This dish is also a cold dish, but it is all made from braised chicken, duck, pig, sheep, and beef, and it is made on a platter.
The presentation is very exquisite, as if the dragon and phoenix are dancing together, which makes everyone embarrassed to start at first.
If it weren't for Qiqi's "breakthrough", everyone would probably be shocked for a few minutes.
Soon, the third course, the fourth course, and in the enjoyment and laughter of everyone, the last course was finally served.
"The last dish, the name of the dish, osmanthus has the intention of peach good news, please enjoy it."
The osmanthus cake in this dish has been tasted by many people in the family.
Lingtao, everyone also knows it.
It's just that when Lin Yufan designed the plating, he specially designed it in the style of peach branches, and under each branch, there was spiritual peach meat or osmanthus cake.
And it surprised everyone.
Needless to say, the most surprising thing about this dinner was that the placement of this dish seemed to bring the dishes to life.
Everyone's taste buds were satisfied, and they also had an extraordinary visual experience, and everyone was full of praise.
"Yu Fan, I said that you have asked me to develop some strange pollen, flour, food and financial resources every day recently, and it turns out that there is this wonderful use.
I know that the design of these dishes is basically your idea.
I'm still thinking about why you, the head of the family, have been running to the kitchen every day for a while, and I just wanted to surprise us. Lin Angtian touched his stomach and was very satisfied.
"Nephew Yufan, I have eaten a lot of good things, and the aura rich in many items is more abundant than these dishes.
However, such a gorgeous dish, such a rich taste, if you say that it is a monk above the stage of incarnation, I believe it.
By the way, my father told me that my family had plans to open a trading house in another town.
Why don't you just open a Puquan Lin's teahouse, restaurant or something like this next to this firm, and when the time comes, it will complement each other, and it will not have a better effect. Lin Lixin said to Lin Yufan.
These words directly woke up Lin Yufan.
Yes, since this world does not have great attainments in the seasoning and plating of food, why not use this piece as Lin's signature?
The firm is definitely going to be opened, but opening up the popularity of the firm from another angle will definitely make Lin's firm more secure.
This is certainly better than using strength to force other firms.
Since Lin's Commercial Bank focuses on farm products, the dishes made with the farm products of Lin's Commercial Bank are equivalent to direct and effective publicity.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for the suggestion, it's a great idea." Lin Yufan had an unexpected gain, and his heart was even more joyful.
He continued: "These foods are a surprise I have prepared for everyone, and they can be regarded as a small New Year's gift.
However, I have prepared a lot of other novelty gadgets, and I promise, everyone will enjoy them......"
