Chapter 95 New Year's Eve Dinner (Part 2)
The table was filled with New Year's candies, various fruits, peanuts and melon seeds, so everyone moved another small table and put the dishes for hot pot on the small table next to it, otherwise there would be no room.
When everyone sat together and everything was finally done, Bai Mengmeng, as the leader, was just about to say a few words when she saw everyone had already stretched out their chopsticks and picked up the chicken and duck.
"Forget it, eat more."
Wang Hao immediately set his eyes on the braised pork that had been cooked until it was soft and tasty. He didn't know where the cooking method of the braised pork was learned, but it looked full of sauce.
The meat is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry. It trembles slightly when picked up by chopsticks. When you put it into your mouth and take a sip, it melts temporarily in your mouth, with a rich meaty aroma, mellow and tempting, leaving a lingering taste in your mouth.
"Ahhh! It's so delicious! Master, the braised pork you made is truly delicious!"
Huaguduo prefers Eight Treasure Rice Pudding. The rice grains are oily but not greasy at all. The sweet aroma and the rich fragrance of meat and vegetables keep drilling into the nose, making people drool.
Use a spoon to scoop a large spoonful, it tastes soft, sweet, and contains candied fruit and raisins, which adds a bit of toughness. The sweet and sour taste is unforgettable.
I don’t know how glutinous rice has this kind of texture. It’s not sticky at all, but fragrant and sticky. You can’t stop eating it.
Liangcha is the best eater. From the beginning, he stretched out his chopsticks to the lemon duck that looked sour and spicy, picked up many pieces and put them in his bowl, and tasted them carefully.
The salty lemon and sour turnip are sour and refreshing, and the chili flavor fills the duck skin and meat, making it particularly appetizing.
He gnawed on the duck meat with relish, even chewing the bones clean before throwing them away.
Uncle Xu was looking at the table full of food, feeling deeply moved and proud.
"Old Master, you should have seen it, right? The new master is really hard to open, and he also takes good care of us, allowing us to eat so many delicious foods."
Bai Mengmeng ate several pieces of meat in one breath and felt like she had eaten a bit too much.
He could only add other vegetables to his mouth: "Hmm...prosperity and prosperity! Diligence and hard work!..."
Usually the New Year’s Eve dinner cannot be finished in one meal, and it may take several days, and then we have to eat the leftovers during the New Year.
But in the Qiongye School, of course there is no need to worry. You pick up the food with your chopsticks and I pick up the food with my chopsticks, and the plate will be empty in a short while.
These big eaters are no joke. Not to mention such a small amount of food, even if we add some more, I think it will not be a problem for everyone.
If Bai Mengmeng hadn't forbidden it, even the sea bass on the plate would have been eaten up.
"We have to leave some fish, we can't eat them all, so we can have surplus every year!"
After finishing the meal, everyone started to clean up the plates, put the leftovers and messy cups and plates into the kitchen, and then prepared to have hot pot.
"Master, this soup base smells so delicious. The lamb rib hotpot we had last time makes my mouth water just thinking about it."
The flower bud was a little excited, waving chopsticks and swallowing saliva continuously.
When the ingredients were placed on the table, the first thing everyone ate was the tripe.
Tripe is very easy to cook. There is a mnemonic for it called "seven ups and eight downs", which means that if you put it in the water eight times and it comes up seven times, the tripe is ready to eat, hence the name "seven ups and eight downs".
"The tripe cooked this way is indeed crispy and tender. This tripe tastes really delicious. I want to eat as much as I can today!"
Wang Hao saw that everyone was eating tripe, so he quietly put a few slices of beef in it, and then planned to secretly pick it up and eat it by himself later.
But with Liang Cha next to him and the God of Food watching over him, his little wish was doomed to fail.
Liangcha was quick-handed and sharp-eyed. He could pick up a piece at a time and eat it before it was cooked. Wang Hao couldn't get a single piece and was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.
The temperature is cold in winter, and steam is rising from the hot pot, with white smoke curling up.
Bai Mengmeng watched everyone laughing and smiling, and felt a sense of peace in her heart.
She waited until everyone had eaten their fill before she spoke.
"I already know this year's profit report. Because everyone has worked so hard, our restaurant business is booming this year. I'd like to thank everyone here, so on the last day of the New Year, I'm giving everyone a bonus, a big red envelope. Remember to keep it."
He took out four bulging red envelopes from his pocket and placed them in front of each person.
Xu Bo was a little excited, tears glistening in his eyes: "I'm so sorry, we wouldn't be able to make so much money without the leader."
Bai Mengmeng quickly shook her head: "This is my order, you are not allowed to refuse. I also have a red envelope, which is much bigger than yours."
Wang Hao coughed twice and cleared his throat. "I was a bit unstable before, causing a lot of trouble for everyone. Thankfully, everyone took care of me. I sold the patent this year. If I make some extra money, I'll prepare this red envelope for everyone."
Wang Hao also took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and placed them in front of everyone.
"Of course it's definitely not as good as the master's, so please don't despise me."
Bai Mengmeng was suddenly excited. She had always given out red envelopes, but she never expected that there would be a day when she would receive red envelopes.
"Huh? Why is the wording on this red envelope "Happiness for a Hundred Years"? "
Wang Hao's face froze. "Ah? Maybe I bought the wrong one. It's just a small problem."
Huaguduo scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed: "I made some money this year, but I didn't think of buying red envelopes for everyone. I'm sorry."
Everyone quickly shook their heads: "It's okay, you bought the new clothes."
Liangcha squeezed the two red envelopes with no expression on his face.
He thought for a while, took a few peanuts from the plate and gave one to everyone.
Then when it came to Bai Mengmeng, he sent two more.
"Ultimately, what are you giving us peanuts for? Is there any point?"
"Why do we only have one? Brother, you gave the headmaster two peanuts. You are so biased!"
At this time, everyone felt a little strange and didn't know what Liangcha was trying to do.
Liang Cha's face remained calm, and he didn't seem to react at all. He spoke word by word with an extremely serious tone.
"Because I don't have much money, I won't give out red envelopes to everyone. Even if I do, it won't be much anyway."
"These peanuts actually represent a promise I made. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
After explaining it, Liangcha said nothing more.
As for why he gave the leader two peanuts, Liang Cha did not explain such an obvious act of favoritism, and everyone just thought he was flattering him.
