MTL - Dali Temple Small Dining Room-Chapter 381 New Year's Eve Dinner (4)
The world is impermanent, and this is the case.
Overnight, the world was turned upside down.
Tangyuan's tone was low, and tears were falling, as if they couldn't be wiped away.
Wen Mingtang hugged Tangyuan and comforted him in a low voice, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Fei, who made a loud noise: No wonder he, after all, Tangyuan himself knew about it, so it doesn’t matter if you say it or not.
Glanced at Zhao You who picked up Lin Fei's discarded branches and began to imitate Zhao You who was pawing the ground, Wen Mingtang sighed: Come on, come on, some people in this world just don't know how to comfort others, such as the two in front of you.
That being the case, she looked at Lin Fei and asked, "Lin Shaoqing is going to have a New Year's Eve dinner here today?"
No matter how often you slip out, the New Year’s Eve dinner will never slip away.
Lin Fei said: "No, I'll go back to eat." This is not the time to talk nonsense, Lin Fei didn't stay any longer, but just told Zhao You who was playing with branches: "If there is nothing to do after eating, Stay here and watch the night!"
Now that the annual vacation is on, Master Wen will definitely stay here to accompany the glutinous rice balls. It is not safe for the two girls to stay here.
Although compared to ordinary women, Master Wen is somewhat able to protect himself, and it is not a problem to deal with one or two ineffective little thieves. But thinking about it would be bad for her, how could it be an ordinary little thief? Lin Fei felt that it would be better for Zhao You to stay here to watch the night.
As for A Bing...Although he is a man, he may not be as good as Master Wen when he really meets a villain. What's more, the situation in his family may try to prevent him from coming after this encounter.
After Zhao You heard this, he immediately dropped the branch in his hand and said, "Oh!" He said, "Yes! Sleeping is not sleeping, 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 a night watch the same as sleeping?
Tang Yuan on the side heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Sleep and sleep! I also sleep at night, how can I really ask people to open their eyes all night? Besides, my father... my father has always been the most reasonable." At the end When she said a word, her voice dropped, and Tang Yuan reached out and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes again.
I always feel that the tears seem to be endless! Burying her head into Wen Mingtang's arms, she sobbed softly.
Lin Fei on the other side nodded when he heard the words, and reminded Zhao You: "The safety of the two of them is in your hands!"
Zhao You nodded again in response.
Seeing this, Lin Fei turned his head to look at Wen Mingtang, who was comforting the glutinous rice balls, paused for a moment, and 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 surprise, and hurriedly said: "Lin Shaoqing is safe and sound, and everything goes well!"
"Okay," he nodded, looking into her eyes, his tone was as calm as ever, "it will be all right."
After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out the gate.
The sky is half dark, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside the house is crackling. Before you stop, he has appeared on the stage, noisy, messy and lively.
Wen Mingtang comforted the glutinous rice balls, and asked Zhao You to go to the temporary food table in the kitchen to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
First wiped the eyes of the glutinous rice **** with a wet kerchief, and then covered the glutinous rice **** to cover the eyes that were swollen from crying. While the glutinous rice **** were covering the eyes, Wen Mingtang led Zhao You to bring out the food.
When all the dishes were placed on the food table, Tangyuan removed the veil covering her eyes and looked at the food table: In just over an hour, Master Wen cooked a table full of dishes.
There is a casserole in the middle of the food table, and what is in the casserole is the three fresh mushroom egg dumplings that have just been served from the small stove.
Surrounded by cold dishes and hot dishes: saliva chicken, smoked fish, sixi meatballs, steamed cured meat, patted cucumbers, stir-fried vegetarian leafy vegetables, etc. Zhao You couldn't help but marvel: "Master Wen can't do magic tricks." ? How do you prepare 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, "The name of this immortal method is 'Practice makes perfect', let's eat!"
As he spoke, he turned around and brought over the warm plum wine on the small stove.
Before moving the chopsticks, looking at Tang Yuan and Zhao You, Wen Mingtang lifted up a half-empty bowl of fruit wine and touched them, saying: "Everything goes well in the new year, travel safely, and be healthy!"
The two of them also replied "everything is going well" and "good luck" and then started to move their chopsticks.
Needless to say, Zhao Youzi has always had an excellent appetite. It goes without saying that the dishes that the public chef has made before, such as salivating chicken, patted cucumbers, and stir-fried vegetables, are delicious.
In the steamed cured meat platter, all kinds of pork sausage, chicken and duck leg meat were neatly arranged on the plate. What Zhao stretched out with his chopsticks was the steamed cured meat. Compared with the ordinary chicken, duck and pork meat , this cured meat has lost some water after being marinated, and the taste has become much firmer, with the unique aroma of cured bacon rushing towards the face.
At first glance, this dish is very simple, just spread some shredded **** and steam it, but when he entered the mouth, Zhao You tasted something other than the simplicity seen by the naked eye. , but there is a strong aroma of wine, and there is a bit of sweetness when chewing carefully.
Seeing that Zhao You slowed down his chewing movements, Wen Mingtang smiled and put a piece of sausage into his bowl with his serving chopsticks, and then said: "If the bacon itself is cooked well, just add rice wine and sugar, and it will be delicious enough after steaming. "
The glutinous rice balls, who hadn't eaten well for several days, sipped the green plum wine, then raised their chopsticks and reached for the smoked fish that Master Wen had never cooked before, but which Master Wen had been talking about for a long time.
The smoked fish, which needs to be boiled, fried, and marinated, tastes quite unique as Master Wen said.
The marinated smoked fish is salty and sweet. It is obvious that you have eaten all the marinade. When you bite it, the fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is slightly chewy when chewed. The most special thing is the slightly wrinkled fish skin like tiger skin. After frying and marinating, it seems to be covered with a layer of sweet and honey paste.
Perhaps it suited her appetite very much, or as Master Wen said, eating sweets would make people feel a little better. The glutinous rice **** stretched out several chopsticks towards the smoked fish.
The past few days have been like nightmares. When she closes her eyes, she can see her father gently telling herself in front of her for a while, and see her father lying there not moving anymore.
Repeatedly, like a walking dead. Xu Shi's growth happens overnight, and it's not like she didn't notice the changes in relatives and members of A Bing's family.
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 for seeing Master Wen's orderly daily management by himself. Right now, when it comes to him, he realizes how difficult it all is.
In all fairness, her situation is much better than that of Master Wen. So... Chewing the fish skin covered in honey paste in her mouth, she swallowed the glutinous rice balls: She must cheer up, hold on to what her father left her, and work hard to live!
Just like what my father said when I was selected to work with Master Wen at the beginning of the year and learned the first dish to eat at home: she can learn a skill by herself, so I don’t need to worry about it in the future up!
