On the day of the Spring Festival, all the players of the Longyin Club went home to celebrate the New Year, and the whole club was empty. Qin Mo and Xiao Han set off for Li Cangyu's residence together after breakfast.
Qin Mo first took Xiao Han to the supermarket. It is customary to bring gifts when visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival in China. It is the first time to celebrate the New Year with the masters, so you can’t go empty-handed. Xiao Han doesn’t understand these rules, so he has to follow Qin Mo The back of the coolie. On New Year's Eve, the supermarket was crowded with people, and many nearby residents came to buy vegetables, and there was a long queue at the checkout counter. This was the first time Xiao Han saw such a spectacular scene.
"What do you want to buy for the masters? Xiaomo, do you have an idea?" Xiao Han asked.
"Buy two bottles of red wine, buy some fruit, take a box of milk and a box of yogurt, milk can be used for breakfast, and yogurt is good for digestion. I remember that cat gods like to eat this." Qin Mo said while picking out red wine.
Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Han couldn't help but smile: "You are still careful, I don't even remember that my master likes yogurt, but I only remember that he likes fish."
The two quickly picked out the items and put them in the shopping cart, and went to the checkout line to line up. There are too many people, and most people buy too many things today, the line has been moving slowly, and there is no end in sight.
Xiao Han pushed the shopping station behind, protecting Qin Mo with his body, and sighed: "Chinese New Year is always lively in China. When I was in Boston with my dad, I only ate the dumplings I bought during the New Year. My dad has a special job. Busy, not very good at cooking, when I was a child, I almost vomited from eating bread every day, but after returning to China, I realized that this place is simply a food paradise, with everything delicious.”
Knowing that he had no mother since he was a child, Qin Mo said with some distress: "From now on, you can celebrate the New Year with me, it will be more lively if there are more people."
Xiao Han shook Qin Mo's finger with a smile: "Go to Master's house first this year, and when we have a home of our own, we can invite Masters to entertain us."
The two moved forward slowly while chatting. They queued for more than half an hour, and finally it was their turn. Xiao Han quickly checked out and swiped his card, and the two walked to Li Cangyu's house with their things.
***
Li Cangyu's house is not far from the club, only a few minutes away.
When he entered the door, he heard the sound of the TV. Li Cangyu was not watching a variety show, but was watching a replay of an NBA game. Ling Xuefeng was busy in the kitchen. The two put on their shoes and walked into the house. They put the things they brought on the table in the living room. Qin Mo said politely, "Cat God, Happy New Year."
Li Cangyu smiled and beckoned Qin Mo to come and sit down: "Why do you buy so many things?"
Qin Mo said: "It's not easy to come empty-handed during the Chinese New Year. We didn't buy any expensive gifts, just food."
Li Cangyu patted Qin Mo's shoulder: "You are really sensible. But, you don't have to be so polite when you come to my house in the future... Xiao Han, go and wash a plate of fruit."
Xiao Han immediately took apart the fruit basket he bought and took it to the kitchen to wash the fruit.
Seeing that he was directly washing the grapes with clean water, Ling Xuefeng frowned in disgust: "Take a basin from the cupboard, soak the grapes in salt water for a few minutes before taking them out, it can be washed more cleanly."
Xiao Han quickly followed suit: "Oh, got it."
Ling Xuefeng continued: "Peel and cut the apples and pears into pieces, put them in the fruit bowl, and serve them to eat. Come to the kitchen to help after you're done."
Xiao Han nodded obediently: "Okay!"
Although he is not good at cooking, he is very good at peeling fruits. He quickly cut apples, pineapples, and pineapples into small pieces, put them on the fruit plate, brought them to the living room and said with a smile: "You guys eat some fruit first, I will Go to the kitchen and help Lingshen cook."
Qin Mo stood up and said, "Are you all busy? I'll help too."
Li Cangyu immediately grabbed him, patted his hand and said, "Just sit down and let Xiao Han help. The kitchen can't hold so many people."
Qin Mo had no choice but to sit down, took out a toothpick and poked the Kuai Apple and handed it to Li Cangyu: "The cat god eats fruit."
"En." Li Cangyu took the apple he handed over, took a bite, and asked with a smile, "By the way, Xiaomo, how far have you and Xiao Han progressed?"
"..." Qin Mo looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Don't be shy, everyone is an adult. Xiao Han has never been in a relationship before, so he must be inexperienced in that area. If he hurts you, beat him up and let him study hard." Li Cangyu said earnestly, "Men and A man will be very comfortable doing it, the premise is to get used to it.”
"..." Qin Mo blushed and didn't know how to answer this topic.
— No wonder Xiao Han never hides his words, this master is so straightforward, Xiao Han has really imitated his master's straightforwardness by 100%.
Seeing Qin Mo blushing like cooked shrimp, Li Cangyu realized it and said clearly, "It seems that you haven't done it yet?"
Qin Mo nodded stiffly: "Well..."
The voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, Li Cangyu laughed: "Haha, I thought Xiao Han was used to staying abroad and would be very open, but I didn't expect you two to be quite conservative. It's okay, take your time, this kind of thing It’s better to let nature take its course. By the way, I have an 8G resource pack here, have you brought a USB flash drive? I’ll copy it to you directly, and you can study all kinds of interesting poses when you go back.”
Qin Mo: "..."
What a pose! Can you two, master and apprentice, be a little more reserved
Qin Mo's ears were red: "Cat God, I didn't bring a USB flash drive."
Li Cangyu enthusiastically said: "Then I'll give you my mobile hard drive directly."
So, the straightforward cat god actually dragged Qin Mo to the study, turned his head to the kitchen and asked, "Xuefeng, where is my mobile hard drive?"
Ling Xuefeng said: "The third drawer on the left side of the study."
Li Cangyu opened the drawer and found a black mobile hard drive. He handed the hard drive to Qin Mo and said with a smile, "Take it and have a look."
Qin Mo took over the hard drive with both hands like a hot potato, his cheeks flushed slightly, although he was very embarrassed, but he was in his twenties after all, and he was very curious about this aspect, so Maoshen took the initiative to give him the resource hard drive, he He didn't refuse any more, turned around and put the hard drive in his bag, planning to go back and study it.

In the kitchen, Ling Xuefeng was teaching Xiao Han how to cook.
"Steamed sea bass is the easiest way to cook fish. Xiaomo has a light taste and likes to eat this. Have you read the recipe?" Ling Xuefeng simply took off her apron and gave it to Xiao Han, letting him be the chef, with herself at the side guide.
"Look." Xiao Han didn't go to training for the past two days. He read the recipes in the dormitory every day, and memorized all the recipes Ling Xuefeng said. , cut a few knives on the fish, and then stuff the onion, ginger, and garlic in, right?"
"Yes." Seeing him picking up a knife and starting to chop the onion, Ling Xuefeng hurriedly reminded, "Cut the onion into thin strips, don't chop randomly!"
"... Oh." Xiao Han immediately began to cut carefully, put the onion, ginger and garlic into the fish belly, and then put the fish plate into the pot to start steaming.
"Steam for about ten minutes. Remember the time. Next, cook the braised pork ribs in hot water to remove the fishy smell. After the water boils, take out the ribs and fry them again." Ling Xuefeng stood beside him directing, and Xiao Han followed suit.
When Xiao Han was abroad, he only knew how to toast bread and fry steaks. He didn’t know much about Chinese food. The recipe said that the oil should be cooked to 70% heat. Note that his oil was overheated, and as soon as he put the ribs in, the pot suddenly burst into flames.
Xiao Han said in shock: "It's on fire!"
Ling Xuefeng frowned: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly turn off the fire and put the lid on the pot!"
Xiao Han hurriedly put the lid on the pot and turned off the fire, his bewildered expression really made Ling Xuefeng angrier the more he looked at it.
After a while, the fire finally went out, and a cloud of black smoke rose from the pot.
Ling Xuefeng: "..."
How can you be so stupid? ! How about bringing your game-playing dexterity and reflexes into the kitchen
Xiao Han looked at the burnt bottom of the pot, felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head and asked, "Lingshen, the oil mentioned in the recipe is seven minutes hot, how to handle it?"
Ling Xuefeng looked disgusted: "Stand to the side and watch."
Xiao Han obediently stood aside to observe, Ling Xuefeng re-burned the oil to demonstrate to Xiao Han, and when the oil boiled, put the ribs into the pan to fry: "Fry until golden brown, then take it out for later use, then make the sauce separately, take it, Follow the recipe."
"Yeah." Xiao Han took the shovel from his hand and stir-fried in the pot, thinking, Chinese food tastes delicious, but it's really troublesome to make it one after another...
***
Xiao Han followed Ling Xuefeng to study in the kitchen for an hour, and finally cooked a few dishes that looked decent.
Ling Xuefeng asked Li Cangyu and Qin Mo to come over for lunch, and the four of them sat down in the dining room, looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, Li Cangyu was very surprised: "Did Xiao Han cook all of them?"
Xiao Han said: "Yes, Master, I made it under the guidance of Ling Shen throughout the process."
He took a family portrait of a table of dishes, and posted on Weibo, accompanied by a blessing: "I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year, wish you all come true, and have fish every year! PS: This table of dishes is made by me[ Moved to tears]”
Weibo comments quickly broke through four digits: "Han God, you have more than every year! Not fish!" "Han God is good at cooking, drooling!" Are you going to pass the eighth grade?" "By the way, I saw a pair of hands in the photo, so beautiful hands! Lick!" "Is the one sitting next to you Moshen? This hand should be him?" "The restaurant There is a big fish tank opposite, whose house is it? Could it be the house of the cat god?" "The cat god raises so many goldfish, does he want to eat goldfish [thumps the ground and laughs]"
Li Cangyu saw his apprentice posting on Weibo, so he retweeted this Weibo with dignity: "Happy New Year everyone, Xiao Han's cooking skills are not bad. PS: I don't raise goldfish for food, I'm a cat with principles ]."
Mao Shen took the initiative to admit that this was his house and there were four sets of tableware on the dining table. Fans immediately deduced that Xiao Han and Qin Mo were celebrating the New Year with the masters!
Qin Mo's fans had been very worried that Ling Shen's anger would affect Qin Mo's state, but now it seems that the four masters and apprentices are celebrating the New Year together, and Xiao Han cooks himself, looking happy. Obviously Ling Xuefeng's anger bar has been cleared, and the masters seem to be very supportive of the two apprentices forming the Mo Jue team together. The fans finally felt relieved and sent blessings to the four masters and apprentices.
Li Cangyu put down his phone, tasted a piece of steamed fish, and said, "It tastes good, it seems that Xiao Han has a talent for cooking!"
Xiao Han, who was praised, was very happy, and he took a piece of ribs to Qin Mo, and said softly: "Xiao Mo, try it, your favorite braised pork ribs."
Qin Mo tasted it and found that the pork ribs were really delicious. Obviously, it was because the master was there to check the whole process. With Xiao Han's own level, he would definitely not be able to make such delicious ribs. The taste of the spare ribs was soft and sweet. Qin Mo felt a sweet taste in his heart as he ate it. He couldn't help but praised: "It's really delicious."
Only then did Ling Xuefeng's expression soften, and she looked at Xiao Han and said, "Learn more in the future, Chinese food is complicated to make, and you will get familiar with it after doing it a few times."
Xiao Han hurriedly said: "I know, I must often cook and practice."
The four were eating lunch, Xiao Han ate for a while, and suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, Master, what did you just do with the mobile hard drive?"
Li Cangyu said bluntly, "I brought some study materials for Xiaomo."
Ling Xuefeng looked over immediately, with a disapproving expression on his face. Li Cangyu ignored his disapproving gaze, looked back at his apprentice and said, "Go back and study hard."
Xiao Han thought that the "study materials" he gave were videos of summoners' various styles of play, so he didn't think too much about it. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."
Qin Mo looked away uncomfortably, and ate with his head down, thinking, this hard drive must not be seen by Xiao Han, and he must hide it well when he turns around.
***
Since the lunch was very rich, Ling Xuefeng decided to keep it simple for dinner. He served a few unfinished dishes at noon and made some dumplings as the main course.
While chopping dumpling stuffing, he brought Xiao Han over to learn. Under Ling Xuefeng's guidance, Xiao Han learned how to chop dumpling stuffing, and then cleaned up the dining table to make dumplings.
Li Cangyu also came over: "I know how to make dumplings, let's make dumplings together."
So the four of them sat at a table to make dumplings. The dumplings made by Ling Xuefeng were as neat and beautiful as those made by a machine. The dumplings made by Qin Mo were in the same style as Master, and they could be sold directly. As for the other pair of master and apprentice... Li Cangyu made the dumplings into the shape of fish, while Xiao Han made the dumplings without any shape at all.
Ling Xuefeng looked disgusted: "What are you pinching this? Steamed buns are not like steamed buns, dumplings are not like dumplings, what kind of lump?"
Xiao Han explained cheekily: "My style is more abstract."
Qin Mo looked at the crooked dough he kneaded, held back a smile and said, "I don't have any appetite for being so abstract. You should study hard with Master."
Xiao Han, who became the bottom of the food chain, had no choice but to learn from Ling Xuefeng obediently.
At dinner time, dumplings of different shapes were finally cooked, and Ling Xuefeng singled out the particularly ugly dumplings for Xiao Han to eat by himself.
Xiao Han felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to resist, and silently ate those ugly doughs—fortunately, the dumplings he made looked ugly, but the fillings were checked by Ling Xuefeng, and they tasted good, and Xiao Han ate them with relish.
In previous years, Li Cangyu didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala during the holidays, but today two of his apprentices were there, so he switched to CCTV1 to watch the gala, to have a bit of fun, and to watch the New Year together.
The four of them were watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. Xiao Han was still at the bottom, busy peeling fruits for Qin Mo. He obviously wanted to show off in front of Lingshen and regain some impression points. When I was cooking at noon, I almost burned Maoshen's kitchen. Lingshen must despise him very much, so I have to fix it quickly...
Seeing Xiao Han being so attentive, Ling Xuefeng didn't react at all. After watching the Spring Festival Gala for a while, he got up and went to the study to get two red envelopes, and gave one to Qin Mo and Xiao Han each.
The two looked at each other, both embarrassed to take it.
Li Cangyu smiled and said, "Take it, it's the first time celebrating the New Year with Master, it's also right for Master to give you two red envelopes."
The cat god opened his mouth, and Qin Mo and Xiao Han took the red envelope from Ling Xuefeng.
Ling Xuefeng said: "Giving out red envelopes in the New Year is for good luck. I hope that you will have a successful start in the professional league next year, and the relationship between you two will be stable and long-lasting."
Qin Mo said emotionally, "Thank you, Master."
Xiao Han also said, "Thank you Lingshen!"
Ling Xuefeng patted his apprentice on the shoulder lightly: "You are now the captain of Team Mojue, and Master can't help you with anything. You will have to rely on yourself in the future. Remember what I told you before."
Qin Mo nodded vigorously: "I know."
Ling Xuefeng once told him that it doesn't matter if you lose the game, but you must never lose your confidence. In addition to the strength of the team, the competition also includes the tactical thinking of the captain and the psychological quality of the players.
Master's teachings, he will always remember in his heart.
***
The four of them kept watch until twelve o'clock in the morning before Qin Mo and Xiao Han bid farewell to their master and returned to the club.
On the way back, the weather was very cold, but my heart was very warm.
The sky is full of bright fireworks for the New Year, Xiao Han gently held Qin Mo's hand, and said with a smile, "This is the first time I celebrate the New Year with you, and from now on, we will spend the Spring Festival together every year."
Qin Mo nodded: "Yes."
He took out his mobile phone and sent a big red envelope to the Mo Jue group: "Happy New Year everyone."
Liu Hong: "Let's have fun together!"
Shen He: "I snatched 50 yuan hahaha! Happy New Year everyone and all the best!"
He Beiguang: "I wish everyone a happy new year!"
Pei Yu: "Happy New Year!"
Zhu Qingyue: "Everyone is in good health and wishes come true [smile]"
Even Li Muran, who has always been taciturn, sent four words: "Happy New Year."
Qin Mo couldn't help smiling when he saw the blessings from the team members that popped up on his phone.
After the Spring Festival, Dubu Jianghu's first professional league will start soon, and he and Xiao Han will lead the Mojue team to explore this brand new world.
The ups and downs experienced in the past have become distant memories, and a new journey, he believes, everything will become better.
