Chapter 204 New Year's Eve
Chapter 204 New Year's Eve
Su Ying opened the gate after seeing who was coming.
It’s the Mengzi family.
"Uncle Meng, Auntie, you are here, come in first."
Tian Niu came in with Meng Zi, carrying something. "Excuse me, Madam Su. This is a little New Year gift. It's not much. Please don't despise it, Madam Su."
Su Ying did not refuse. After accepting the things, she invited the two of them to come in and sit down.
"Why didn't Meng Jiang come?"
"We didn't let him come over because he has difficulty walking, so as not to cause trouble to everyone. We have prepared food for him, and he can eat at home at night."
Naturally, the couple didn't want to leave their son alone at home to celebrate the holiday, so they prepared a meal at noon, and the family had a good lunch.
"Oh, this is really true! How can you leave your son alone at home to celebrate the holidays? Hurry up and get a cart and call everyone over to eat together so that it will be lively." Mother Zhao walked into the house and said with a look of disapproval when she heard Tian Niu's words.
"Auntie, you really don't have to be polite. Don't bother with him."
Seeing that they insisted, Mother Zhao didn't say anything else. She just said that she would leave some food for Meng Jiang for them to take back.
"Madam Su, open the door. I'm coming."
Just as Su Ying was about to sit down, she heard Qiao Yang's voice outside the yard, so she had to go out and open the door.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, Qiao Yang's silly smile came into view, "Madam Su, I'm here, and I brought you some snacks. They were made by the chef in Tiger Camp, and they taste great. Come and take them."
Qiao Yang stuffed everything in his hand onto Su Ying.
Hu Wei couldn't bear to see his stupid brother anymore, so he kicked him on the butt and said, "Hurry up and take all your things inside. Why are you standing here blocking the door?"
"Hey, brother, why did you kick me!" Qiao Yang glared at Hu Wei with dissatisfaction. This was in front of Madam Su, and he didn't care about his face!
"You're welcome. It's cold. Come inside and sit down first."
"Excuse me."
Hu Wei also brought over a large jar of wine.
Su Ying was just about to close the door when Long Ba arrived. In this way, all the guests for tonight were present.
There were a lot of people around tonight and it was cold outside, so on the 1st they still ate in their room, and the food was prepared exactly the same.
"Hurry, hurry, serve the food, serve the food."
Bai Shuang and the others brought the dishes into the house, and for a moment, the house was filled with the aroma of the dishes.
Qiao Yang was so hungry after smelling the food, "This food is so delicious. Uncle He and Uncle Murong's cooking skills are really amazing."
In the middle of the table was a bowl of chicken soup and two fried fish, drizzled with sweet and sour sauce. The smell made my saliva flow like crazy.
The two of them were reluctant to kill too many animals, so they cooked fancy beef, braised beef tendons, and made beef dumplings, waiting to put them in the pot after midnight. They also made a big pot of braised steak, beef offal soup, and two roasted rabbits...
There was a big table filled with dishes, and everyone could hardly sit still after smelling the delicious aroma. Because there were too many people, they divided the table into two, one for the women and one for the men.
Su Ying was very satisfied with this arrangement. Bai Shuang and the others had small appetites, so she could eat more if she sat with them!
"Come on, come on, sit down, eat and drink, don't be polite."
Su Ying couldn't stand up after she sat down on the chair. She first picked up some dishes for the children, and then couldn't wait to eat. She picked up a piece of roasted rabbit meat and took a bite. It was crispy with a strong flavor of sauce. I don't know what Uncle He used to marinate it, how could it be so delicious!
It tasted so good that Su Ying wanted to swallow her tongue.
The two chefs took the children's tastes into consideration and made beef meatballs for them. They chopped the beef into minced meat and put it into the oil pan. The fried meatballs were then steamed over low heat. They were fragrant and soft. The little ones finished the whole plate.
Everyone thought they should talk while eating, but who knew that because the food was so delicious, everyone was just focused on eating the whole time. Only after everyone was full and satisfied did Su Ying take a sip of the bowl of soup, which brought a perfect end to this New Year's Eve dinner.
"Brother He and Brother Murong's cooking skills are extraordinary. Look at me, I can't stop eating." Mengzi put down the bowl with a reluctant look. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had eaten such delicious food.
"Yes, it's delicious, it's really delicious." Long Ba's mouth was also full of oil. His throat was already full, but he still couldn't bear to put down his chopsticks.
The two chefs listened to everyone's praise and smiled with satisfaction. As a chef, the happiest thing is everyone's recognition of their cooking skills.
He Shouyi smiled and said, "If you like to eat, you can come often in the future. It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks."
Long Ba wiped his mouth and said, "Brother He, you said this. I, Long Ba, have a thick skin, but I won't be polite with you."
"no problem."
"Come on, fill up your glasses. Let's drink to our heart's content today." Qiao Yang held the wine jar and poured wine for everyone one by one.
"Xiao Jin, this is a toast to you." Qiao Yang came up to Xiao Jin with the bowl in his hand, with a provocative look on his face. He was well-known in the Tiger Camp for his ability to drink. Even if they couldn't beat him in kung fu, he could always make this guy fall down after drinking!
Xiao Jin glanced at him indifferently with his dark eyes, then picked up the wine bowl on the table and drank it all.
Seeing that he remained calm, Qiao Yang felt unconvinced, so he finished the wine in the bowl and poured more for the two of them.
"I'm toasting to you!" Before he finished speaking, he finished the wine.
Xiao Jin continued to drink with an expressionless face.
Qiao Yang's fighting spirit came up and he filled the glass again.
Hu Wei glanced at his stupid brother speechlessly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was no match for Xiao Jin. After drinking more, he fell down before Xiao Jin did.
But today is New Year's Eve, everyone is happy, and he is too lazy to waste energy teaching him a lesson, so just let him do his stupid thing on his own.
After Su Ying and her friends at the table had finished their meal, Mother Zhao and her friends cleared away the dishes and brought up snacks and fruits.
There were no fresh fruits, only wild fruits that I had picked from the mountains and pickled them in the water. They tasted a little salty and sweet.
Because of Su Ying's integration, everyone in the entire Tiger Camp was immersed in the festive New Year's Eve dinner this year. Even the most destitute families had charcoal basins burned at home this year and had meat on the dinner table.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, there was suddenly a violent knock on the door in the yard.
Su Ying happened to be standing at the door, so she walked out and opened it.
"who?"
"Ma'am, please open the door. It's me, number eight."
When Su Ying opened the gate, she saw Number Eight standing outside the door, covered in blood, barely catching his breath.
Su Ying's eyebrows sank, "What's wrong?"
