Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. We started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner very early this morning, and quite a few people have come back.
First are the master chef's three disciples.
They are all successful in their careers.
My senior brother Zhou is thirty-two years old this year. He has started a family and established his career. He is the director of a traditional Chinese medicine department in a large hospital and is expected to compete for the position of branch hospital director.
Brother Fang is 28 years old this year. He studied both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and is now a very famous surgeon who has participated in many major surgical operations.
Brother Tao is twenty-five years old this year, the same age as my older brother. He is obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine. After obtaining his certificate, he travels around, intending to become an itinerant doctor.
The three of them visited Old Zhang early in the morning, spoke with Xiao Youzi, brought her many gifts, and then went about their own business.
"I'm busy, I probably won't be able to come back until after the New Year." Zhang Huaixu stood there, looking somewhat melancholy.
Bai Ningyi glanced at him while carrying her suitcase: "Old Zhang, there's also Little Yuzi."
"Yeah, our Youyou is so cute." Zhang Huaixu immediately abandoned these inexplicable feelings of sadness and went back into the house happily.
Inside the kitchen.
Tan Guozong had only one disciple, Di Yunchen.
He got up very early today and took Di Xing to the kitchen to help Tan Guozong prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Little Yuzu also got up very early.
She was sitting on a small stool, staring longingly at the small plate: "Senior brother~ Can I eat that fried pork? It looks delicious."
Three big men were already busy in the kitchen, and none of them let Xiaoyouzi help. They just let her sit there as a mascot, smelling the aroma and watching.
Di Yunchen chuckled, picked up the crispy pork and was about to speak when a cough came from the side: "Ahem."
It's Tan Guozong.
Di Yunchen put down the plate of crispy pork, glanced at Tan Guozong, and said to Xiaoyouzi with a smile, "My little Youzi, you can see for yourself. It's not that your senior brother doesn't want you to eat, but it's just that I can't disobey my master's orders."
Seeing that neither of them was paying attention, Di Xing secretly slipped a small piece of crispy pork to Xiao Youzi.
Hehehe.
Little Yuzi chuckled softly, then suddenly stuffed the crispy pork into her mouth, her cheeks bulging out like a meat bun.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Tan Guozong glared at his apprentice: "Don't tarnish your master's reputation in front of Xiaoyouzi."
Little Yuzi finished the crispy pork in no time and smacked her lips.
It's so delicious!
Over there, Tan Guozong turned his head and said to Xiaoyouzi with a smile, "You, Master is going to make a lot of delicious food today, so you can't eat your fill now."
Touching her empty belly, Little Yuzu gently patted it: "Don't worry, Master, I deliberately didn't eat enough for breakfast, and I'm still hungry! It's so empty you can hear it make a sound!"
"Why didn't you eat more for breakfast? Why did you have to go hungry?" Tan Guozong tapped Xiaoyouzi's head and smiled helplessly.
Little Yuzi grabbed Tan Guozong's arm, rested her chin on his arm, tilted her head back, and said with a grin, "It's all for a delicious lunch!"
She'll have a family reunion lunch, and then she'll go home in the afternoon.
My fifth brother called early in the morning to ask when she was coming home, and my eldest brother brought Mom home in the afternoon.
She'll be busy today too.
The pomelo is so cute, the master can't run away.
Tan Guozong pulled his hand away, sighed, and took out a plastic bag to pack all the fried pork for her: "I knew you couldn't control your mouth. Go out, go out and play outside by yourself."
With a hint of disdain, Tan Guozong sprinkled some chili powder on the packaged crispy pork: "Just take it and eat it while you play, so you don't stay in the kitchen and finish everyone's lunch."
"No way!"
Holding the crispy pork, Xiao Youzi immediately stood up with a beaming smile and put the small stool down: "Bye-bye, Second Master! Bye-bye, Senior Brother Di! Bye-bye, my dear nephew!"
After saying that, Little Yuzi grabbed the plastic bag and ran out.
Emperor Xing: ?
I really will thank you!
After Xiaoyouzi disappeared from sight, Tan Guozong said with a smile, "Just spoil her."
The crispy pork was specially fried for Xiaoyouzi as a snack; otherwise, who would fry it so quickly? It wouldn't taste good if left out for too long.
“Doesn’t Master also spoil his child?” Di Yunchen smiled.
The deliveryman complained that he wouldn't give any, but he actually packed the pomelo faster than anyone else, afraid that the little pomelo would go hungry.
Once outside, Xiaoyouzi walked towards the garden.
There are archways, small bridges, and flowing water all over there, in the style of Suzhou gardens.
I reckon Master San and the others are putting up couplets over there.
As soon as I stepped through a stone gate, I heard the voices of the Third Master and the Sixth Master.
"Higher, higher."
"Ah Zhen, lower it on the left."
"Align the right side with the edge of the door frame. Jun Zhe, take a look for yourself, how crooked it is."
"Oh, it's not all complete."
Sun Bin and Gongshu Mo, both in wheelchairs, directed Qin Zhen and Jun Zhe to paste up the couplets.
The two people had different accounts, which caused them to stand on the ladder and move around for a long time without finding the right spot.
They exchanged a glance, both looking helpless.
Qin Zhen was dressed casually today, with a thick black down jacket over it and a knitted hat. With his well-proportioned figure, he stood on the ladder and looked nothing like someone who was already forty years old.
Jun Zhe, who was standing next to me, wasn't wearing a suit today.
Because he was going to put up couplets, he took off his trench coat and draped it over Gongshu Mo's lap. Underneath, he wore a black turtleneck sweater that just covered a bit of his delicate jawline.
"Tsk tsk tsk, beautiful. I wonder which beautiful girl will be lucky enough to win her over." Little Yuzi, with a mouthful of crispy pork, gave Jun Zhe high praise.
Although Senior Brother Qin is also handsome, he is not as young as Senior Brother Jun.
