The New Year’s Eve dinner has been served. The delicious dishes on the table look really delicious and delicious! Appetizing.
Shrimp stuffed egg dumplings, spicy stewed fish, stir-fried shredded winter bamboo shoots with shredded meat, stir-fried soy sauce, dried clams, sunflower chopped meat, boiled prawns, fried white bream, stir-fried vegetables, taro skin dumplings, etc. Wait, there is a large hot pot in the middle, steaming.
"Brother, the dishes are all here, where's yours?" Lin Linyou took out the long-cherished Golden Stem Dew from the room, which was said to be the internal wine flowing from the palace.
Just hearing the name, I thought it would taste good.
"You haven't done it yet, how dare you ask me?" Zhang Ben carried a bundle of fireworks in his hand, walked to the courtyard, lit them, and set them off. There was a crackling sound, and the courtyard was filled with smoke and the smell of sulfur was really good.
The main purpose of this kind of cannon is to hear the sound, which Ming Dynasty called "third-level wave". If you want to watch the fireworks, you have to wait until nightfall, then it will be a wonderful time.
After a while, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from far and near, and it seemed that everyone was starting to have New Year's Eve dinner one after another.
After letting off the fireworks, Zhang Ben waved his hand: "Let's eat!"
Everyone sat around the table, and Zhang Bi and Yang Fang also took out their treasured wines.
Zhang Bi pointed at Lin Linyou and said: "You kid, you will be punished with three drinks first! Everyone has cooked, but you don't!"
"You didn't do it either?" Lin Linyou retorted.
"Oops!" Zhang Bi slapped his head, "I almost forgot my chicken!" After saying that, he ran into the kitchen and came out after a while carrying a yellow mud ball the size of his head.
"It turns out that the eldest brother is a chicken!" Yang Fang said.
"Why don't you sound right to me?" Zhang Bi said, "My eldest brother made it. It's called beggar's chicken!"
"Isn't it good to eat beggar's chicken during the Chinese New Year?" Lin Lin said.
"You don't have to eat it!" Zhang Bi broke the soil into pieces, revealing the greasy lotus leaf bag inside. He shouted "hot" repeatedly and threw the lotus leaf bag on the table in a hurry.
When you open the lotus leaf, you will be greeted by the aroma of meat mixed with the faint fragrance of lotus leaf, revealing the oily, yellow and tender whole chicken inside.
"Wow! It smells so good." Yue Rong said with a smile, "It looks delicious!"
"Jiading three-yellow old hens that have been produced for several years." Zhang Bi also grinned at Yuerong, "Little sister, you should eat more, it will be very replenishing."
Lin Linyou stretched out his chopsticks and plucked it twice: "Brother, who did you learn from? You haven't even plucked out the hair..."
"You know the eggs." Zhang Ben stopped his smile, "The beggar's chicken is just a feather. If you don't know how to eat it, don't eat it. I saved it." As he spoke, he tore off a chicken leg and put it on Lin Long's table. With the bowl in front of him, a smile filled his face again: "Little sister, please eat more."
"Don't be too busy eating just yet!" Lin Lin stood up and poured the wine, "Let's all have a drink first! Welcome four girls to our Sanlang House!"
Zhang Bi: "Three wolves?"
Lin Linyou said seriously: "Sanlang! Three men!"
Yang Fang, the third eldest child: "I was shocked. I also said, when did this become my home..."
After drinking a glass of wine, everyone picked their favorite dish and took the first bite.
Lin Linyou doesn't like eating fish, but since this fish was made by someone who likes it, of course he has to eat it as the first bite.
"Hmm - this fish is really good, tender and delicious!" There were no chili peppers at this time. The flavor was enhanced by peppercorns, ginger, brown mustard, amaryllis, coriander, etc., and rice wine was used to remove the fishy smell.
It seems that Yue Rong’s cooking skills are still good!
Yue Rong took a rare opportunity to pick up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it into Lin Linyou's bowl: "As long as Mr. Lin likes it."
Lin Linyou was overjoyed and ate the fish in one bite, waving his eyebrows proudly at Zhang Bi and Yang Fang.
But seeing that the little girl looked a little unhappy, he quickly reached out with his chopsticks to pick up her fried "Sisi Qiqi" and took a bite. What he said made the little girl even more unhappy: "Little sister! Did you forget to add salt to this dish?"
The little girl pouted: "I'll let it go! If you eat someone else's fish with a strong taste, you will naturally think that my food is bland!"
"Okay, then let me try the soy sauce you made..."
Hmm...it's still a bit bland!
Yang Fang: "It's a bit light...ah -" Under the table, his thigh was pinched hard by Ren Ran!
Zhang Bi gulped down the soy sauce and said, "I think it's delicious! I think you're just a naughty person!"
Lin Linyou: "Little sister! There is no need to save salt for you Brother Zhang, I am rich!"
"Huh." The younger sister muttered, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Zhang Ben stretched out his chopsticks to fish out Yang Fang's sunflower chopped meat plate, but couldn't find a single meatball. He said to Yang Fang: "Third brother! How can there be so much soup in sunflower chopped meat? Besides, meat Where are the meatballs?”
Yang Fang fished twice but didn't catch it, so he took a spoon and scooped out a few pieces of minced meat.
"This...is this sunflower chopped meat?" Lin Linyou also echoed and teased Yang Fang, "I can't believe you said these are pearl meatballs."
"Hehe, if you add too much water, it will become rotten after simmering for a long time." Yang Fang scratched his head in embarrassment, "Just drink the soup! The same goes for soup."
After hearing this, Yu Miaolan quickly stretched out her hand to cover the spinach and egg drop soup in front of her, blushing and said, "I just tasted it, and it didn't taste good..."
Ren Ran spoke up: "I asked you guys, can you have a good meal? Salty and salty, light and bland, pick and choose!"
"Your clams are just so-so..." Lin Linyou is really bold! Dare to touch the tigress’ butt!
"Since Mr. Lin said so, why not go to the kitchen and let us all see your cooking skills?" Ren Ran looked at Lin Linyou provocatively.
Why! Of course, this New Year’s Eve dinner must be done very carefully and not be compromised! Look at the table full of dishes, no one is up to par! The most outrageous thing is Zhang Bi's beggar's chicken, which cannot be bitten at all and has hair on it.
"Brother, you're called a flower chicken, and you still have hair on it. Hey! It's hairy!"
Zhang Bi: "I heard it... Miss Ren said, let you cook some dishes for us so that we can see your cooking skills!"
I didn't want to take action at first, but in this case, I will make a nine-turn large intestine for you to see!
I'm afraid Yuerong will definitely fall in love with me if she eats my food.
Lin Lin got up and went to the kitchen to tinker...
After a while, several dishes were served one after another - no nine-turn large intestine.
Some of them are: stir-fried eggs with chives in the fire pit, Nuandongzi cucumbers, stewed tofu with ten spices and salted pepper, golden seabass and squid, white pepper and chili pepper fish sashimi, etc.
"I just added a few home-cooked dishes." Lin Linyou sat down with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone use your chopsticks to try my cooking skills."
After Zhang Bi tasted it, he wanted to say it was average. However, compared with other dishes, the taste was indeed on point.
"I didn't expect that, second brother, you still have this skill." Zhang Bi said, "You are really a master at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!"
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is exactly what the protagonist does! No need to deduct six.
"Ahem, no prizes, no prizes, just do whatever you want." Lin Linyou smiled and said, "Rong'er, give it a try!"
Yue Rong nodded and picked up a cucumber.
Ren Ran said unceremoniously: "Only this leek fried is pretty good, the others are just average!"
Lin Linyou said: "Then you should eat more chives, especially the third brother. You should eat more chives to replenish your body."
Lin Long picked up a piece of fish and said, "Brother! It's still raw even if it's not cooked!"
"This is what you eat raw..."
Zhang Bi: "I have another suggestion. From now on, our second brother will cook our meals! Second brother, do you have any objection?"
Lin Linyou: "Brother, I think you are very talented, why don't you learn to cook from me?"
Yang Fang: "This fish is really delicious... Hey, why are there tears in the corners of my eyes? There is a sad feeling..."
Lin Linyou: "It's shallots (maybe today's onions, but maybe slightly different), I added shallots."
Yang Fang looked at Lin Linyou with affection: "It's really great! It turns out it's the shallots! This fish is so good that it makes people cry..."
Lin Linyou: Sister, if you cook something, Yue Rong doesn’t fall in love with me. I’m afraid my third brother will fall in love with me...
While eating New Year's Eve dinner, the sky was filled with fireworks and candles, as bright as clouds, and the night sky in the capital was gorgeous.
