"Since you are all here, just find a place to sit down. By the way, my father-in-law brought some strawberries grown at home today. You can go and try them. We will have dinner soon." Qin Zijin waved her hand. It would be lively with more people during the New Year, and she didn't mind having people come over.
And there aren't that many rules in her family.
Qin Zixuan agreed and took his people to sit down in the living room.
As soon as we sat down, Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng came with plates of strawberries.
Qi Xinman looked at the plump and beautiful strawberries and was immediately surprised. "We have tasted these strawberries before, but they didn't seem this big, and not this beautiful. These beautiful ones seem fake."
Bai Chengbo also nodded. She was indeed too beautiful.
The color is bright and the surface looks as if it has been waxed, shiny and tender.
"It's delicious. My grandfather grew it." Tang Simeng explained seriously.
"I know the strawberries your grandfather grows are delicious." Bai Qingqing smiled and hugged Tang Simeng. She really liked this little girl.
She is so beautiful, sweet-mouthed, smart and alert. She hopes that her daughter with Qin Zixuan in the future can be like Tang Simeng, beautiful and intelligent.
Qi Xinman heard from somewhere that if you look at more beautiful children before getting pregnant, the baby in your belly will also be beautiful. So she told her to come and hug Tang Simeng whenever she has time and be close to her. After she gets pregnant, she should invite Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng to roll over in bed to bring her good luck in pregnancy.
Although Bai Qingqing thought that this was all feudal superstition, she really liked Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan. She would rather believe it than not. If she could really give birth to such a cute child, it would not be a loss.
Thinking of this, she immediately hugged Tang Simeng and rubbed her face.
Tang Simeng looked hopeless, staring at Qin Zixuan silently, accusing him wordlessly.
"My dear relatives, I'm so sorry to bother you during the New Year. I hope I didn't bother you at all." Qi Xinman sat down next to Zheng Huilin, grabbed her hand and started talking.
The parents of the three families got together, and Tang Aiguo and Bai Chengbo actually had a lot of common topics and had a very pleasant chat.
Tang Simeng didn't want to suffer from Bai Qingqing's evil hands again, so he found an excuse to slip away.
Qin Zijin also cooked quickly. Occasionally, he would secretly take out a few previously prepared dishes from the space. In a short while, he had made twenty-eight dishes.
Waves of fragrance soon wafted out.
The people who were chatting suddenly became quiet and turned their heads to look towards the restaurant.
Qin Zijin came out wearing an apron, wiped her hands, and said, "Dinner is ready, everyone."
All of a sudden, everyone put down the things in their hands, stood up, and walked towards the dining table.
Fortunately, the table at home is big enough to accommodate twenty people, not to mention that there are only ten people here.
Looking at the table full of dishes, everyone was stunned.
"This, such a big lobster?" Looking at the huge lobster placed in the middle, Qi Xinman was a little shocked.
What kind of family is this? They eat such rich food?
Many of these ingredients may not be available even if you have money.
Qin Zijin served them soup with a smile.
Qi Xinman looked down at the golden, thick soup in the bowl, her expression stunned for a moment. Then she took a sip and asked Qin Zijin in shock, "What kind of soup is this? Why does it look like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to me? But it tastes a little more delicious than anything I've ever had."
"It's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It took me several days to make. It's too complicated. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I really wouldn't be too lazy to make it. You guys try it." Qin Zijin nodded with a smile and gave everyone a bowl.
Qi Xinman really couldn't believe it.
Before she came, she really investigated Qin Zixuan's family seriously. She knew that Qin Zixuan had a sister who was a chef with good cooking skills. She also opened a restaurant and heard that the business was very good. However, she thought that was probably all exaggeration. Later, after eating the dishes cooked by Qin Zijin, she believed that Qin Zijin's cooking skills were good. However, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not something that can be made casually by having good cooking skills.
Cooking skills are inherited. Without a master to guide you, you won’t be able to get many recipes. You also need a master to teach you how to handle some ingredients, what you need to pay attention to when cooking, the heat, etc.
Qi Xinman knew that Qin Zijin had never learned cooking systematically before, so she was really shocked that she could make such a difficult dish as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which was even more delicious than the one made by the century-old old restaurant.
"Um, Sister Zixuan, where did you learn how to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?" After Qi Xinman finished the soup in the bowl, she couldn't help but look at Qin Zijin.
Qin Zijin, however, was very casual. While picking up some food for Tang Simeng who was sitting next to him, he answered, "I just read some books and learned it casually. Maybe I am very talented in this area."
Zheng Huilin also chimed in, "Yes, our Zijin has been very smart since she was young. She learns everything very quickly, almost instantly grasping it. She also often has her own unique insights. When she was in school, her teachers always praised her."
"That's right, my sister is very smart. She has been a genius since she was young. She learns things very quickly, including cooking." Qin Zixuan also agreed.
Seeing the mother and son praising Qin Zijin so mindlessly, Qi Xinman felt helpless.
But forget it, as long as I can eat good food, why bother about so many things?
Qin Zijin must have had some special circumstances to do all these things, and it has nothing to do with her. It is a blessing for their Bai family to have such a wonderful relative.
Qi Xinman immediately smiled and nodded, "Then you are really lucky to have such a wonderful daughter and sister. Unfortunately, our Qingqing is an only child. When she enters your family, I hope you can take good care of her. If she does anything wrong, please bear with her."
"I will, I will." Zheng Huilin promised quickly.
The family dining atmosphere was very good.
After Qi Xinman had eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she was no longer surprised by any other dishes.
For example, the bear paws made with tofu and other vegetarian ingredients, she almost thought Qin Zijin got a real bear paw for them to eat.
After eating and drinking their fill, Bai Chengbo and the others were not in a hurry to leave. They went to the living room to drink tea and chat.
Qin Zijin asked Tang Shen to bring some snacks over, but she had no interest in joining in the conversation. She was very tired after a busy day, so she went upstairs to rest after cleaning up.
Qin Zijin had just gone upstairs when an uninvited guest appeared at the door.
Qin Haisheng looked at the gate in front of him with red eyes, feeling aggrieved and angry.
It has been almost half a month since he was left in that empty house. Qin Zixuan didn't come to see him, and Zheng Huilin didn't come back. He was alone, with a housekeeper and two nannies serving him. Although his life was comfortable, he felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
I really couldn't help it today, so I planned to find Qin Zijin and Qin Zixuan and ask them, is this how they show filial piety to their parents?
