After lunch, Yu Siyang was a little sleepy, and lay lazily on the sofa, not wanting to move.
Xue Chengxiu came over and sat down beside him, hugged him into his arms and smoothed his hair, "Tired? Do you still want to go out in the afternoon?"
go out? Buy New Year
Of course I'm going out!
Yu Siyang nodded vigorously to show that he was not tired at all, and after lying down for a while, he happily went upstairs to pretend to go out.
Xue Yunmu held his father's hand and waited in the living room. When Yu Siyang came, he rushed over and hugged him, laughing: "Brother, your face is gone again~~~"
"Brother can't let others see his face." It was very embarrassing to not be able to show his true face.
Xue Yunmu wanted to follow Brother Yangyang's footsteps, and immediately pulled the panda scarf around her neck to her face, "Never let Mumu see it."
Yu Siyang: "..."
The little fat man is so small and naturally black, is it really good? !
Mr. Xue held back his laughter, picked up the little fat man with one hand, and held his lover with the other, and walked to the garage.
This time, it was a real family of three going out to play. There was no driver, no assistant, and no bodyguard. Xue Chengxiu drove the car, and Yu Siyang sat in the back seat with Xue Yunmu in his arms.
Xue Yunmu was so happy, she leaned against the car window and pointed her fingers.
After a while, he said, "Brother, look, what a big bull." Yu Siyang saw that it was a man in a doll costume on the street handing out flyers.
After a while, he said, "Brother, look, there is a fierce dog there." Yu Siyang looked again, and a husky was standing beside the roadside flower bed.
Xue Chengxiu drove the car, and the smile on his lips never disappeared.
The car stopped at a commercial street on the South Fourth Ring Road. Yu Siyang got out of the car and looked around at this deserted commercial street. His face under his hat and black-rimmed glasses and scarf was dazed.
Come to such a deserted place to buy New Year's goods
Is there an extraordinary chef here
Xue Chengxiu parked the car, led one big and one small to a closed tempered glass door, and motioned Yu Siyang to take the key out of his coat pocket and open the door.
This commercial street is developed by a real estate in this community. Because it is close to the artificial lake and green park built by the municipality, the developer can no longer plan it as a residence after taking the land, and can only build a European-style town-style business. Street, supporting artificial lake and green park, the houses in the commercial street are only built on one floor, facing the street and the lake on the back.
Yu Siyang pushed open the door and walked into the empty shop, wondering, "Why are we here?"
Xue Chengxiu let go of his son's hand and let him have fun in the empty shop. "Behind the lake, there is a small garden with an area of more than 200 square meters..."
Yu Siyang blinked.
"It's good to open a restaurant."
"Open a restaurant?"
"Yes," Xue Chengxiu held Yu Siyang's hand, "let's open a mom-and-pop shop together."
Yu Siyang held Xue Chengxiu's hand instead, and inserted his slender fingers between the latter's fingers, clasping his fingers tightly.
The eyes, hidden behind the big black glasses frames, were hot and swollen.
There is a person in this world who will remember everything you have said, plan surprises for you, and share your life with you.
It doesn't get any better than this.
"Okay, let's open a mom-and-pop shop together." Yu Siyang pulled down the scarf with a big smile on his face.
"That's how the restaurant's name was decided," said Mr. Xue.
"...Name?" Yu Siyang hesitated: "Could it be called a mom-and-pop shop?"
Mr. Xue nodded.
It's a good name, and it perfectly declares their sovereignty over each other.
Yu Siyang complained: "This is too uncharacteristic, like a street snack bar."
Xue Chengxiu took the opportunity to say, "Then sell snacks, a couple's snack bar." Snacks are easier to make than dinners, and opening a snack bar is definitely more leisurely than a restaurant.
Yu Siyang: "..."
Chef Yu felt that his authority as a gold medal chef was being challenged, and he couldn't bear it, "No, I don't open a snack bar."
Although Mr. Xue is very regretful, he is also very unprincipled in front of his lover, and he compromised in a second, "Okay, we will not open a snack bar, but a restaurant."
Only then did Chef Yu become happy again, dragging his lover around, planning how to decorate the couple's mom-and-pop shop, what the signature dishes would be ordered, and how to publicize and spread the fame.
Xue Chengxiu smiled and nodded throughout the whole process, but he made a big fork in the propaganda item in his heart.
It's not that his own children blow it by themselves, just say "this is a restaurant opened by Yu Siyang", their mom-and-pop business is absolutely booming, and now looking at the whole country, who doesn't call his children "master chefs", not to mention those old people. Tie, even his own children, has a lot of fans, which goes against his original intention of choosing the location.
He only wants his children to be happy, not to let their children be half-tired to death.
Opening a restaurant has always been the big goal of Yu Siyang's life, both before and now.
A few months ago, his big goal was frightened by Luo Peng's series of preliminary planning and market research, and he postponed the plan without realizing it.
A few months later, the achievement of his big goal is just around the corner...
Chef Yu was excited and flustered, so he almost rushed out to do market research.
"I've arranged for a professional team to do all these things," Xue Chengxiu said to his lover, "You just need to decide on the style and recipe for the decoration."
"Then... Then there's nothing I need to do?" Yu Siyang felt a little confused.
Brother Luo said a lot of things to do, how can it be that he doesn't need to do anything by himself in Mr. Xue's place
Xue Chengxiu said: "Professional people do professional things, so as to improve work efficiency."
Yes, it makes sense!
Having said that, wasn't Brother Luo just fooling me before
Yu Siyang was angry, and decided that Luo Peng would not be allowed to come to his house for food in the future.
Xue Chengxiu nodded: I agree, no matter who it is in the future, you are not allowed to come to the house to eat.
Yu Siyang continued his grief and indignation: There is no discount for dining at the mom-and-pop shop.
Xue Chengxiu continued to nod: There will be an additional service fee.
Luo Peng, who was lying on the sofa at his parents' house, eating nuts and watching TV, suddenly let out an earth-shattering sneeze. The uncovered nut jar he was holding shook violently, and half of the jar of nuts was scattered on the ground.
Luo Peng's mother was angry: "You unlucky child, sweep the floor."
The unlucky child Luo Peng immediately got up and went to get the broom.
Coming out of the empty storefront, the family of three officially started their New Year's shopping trip.
In fact, Aunt Wang has already bought the food for the family, but Yu Siyang said he wanted to buy it, Xue Chengxiu nodded and bought it, fully showing what it means to be pampered.
Last year's New Year's Eve was spent by a family of three with Aunt Wang, and it is still the same this year.
It's just that they only confessed to each other last year. Although sweet, they are somewhat restrained.
This year, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and they get along more and more naturally. In addition, they have been apart for a few months, and the two are even more oily, like conjoined babies, even the time for a New Year's Eve dinner. unwilling to separate.
Aunt Wang was invited out of the kitchen and watched Xue Yunmu play in the living room, worrying about whether she would be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner - Xiao Xiu is a kitchen killer!
Although Xue Chengxiu was handicapped, and the purpose of helping in the kitchen was not pure, he was a god-level chef, and he should still be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner before the New Year's bell rang.
Yu Siyang brought back a lot of mountain treasures from Liang Province, which was just for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Matsutake mushrooms, morels, and Hericium erinaceus were taken out one by one. Xue Chengxiu volunteered and asked to cut vegetables. Although Yu Siyang was careful that he cut his fingers (because he had cut them), he was unwilling to discourage his enthusiasm, so he had to hand over the chopping board. , staring nervously at Xue Chengxiu.
Fortunately, this time, Mr. Xue cut all the wild mushrooms and didn't cut them - although the speed was extremely slow.
Yu Siyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Chengxiu stretched out his face to ask for a reward.
"Chirp~"
Yu Siyang kissed Xue Chengxiu on the face.
"Mouth." Mr. Xue was dissatisfied.
"..." Chef Yu leaned over and "tweeted" at the correct position.
Xue Chengxiu knew very well how to make an inch, and before Yu Siyang "tweeted" before he had time to back away, he hugged the person tightly and deepened the kiss.
Aunt Wang thought about it in the living room, but still felt that she should go to the kitchen to help, so she told Xue Yunmu to play in the living room and not run out, but when she walked to the kitchen door, she was greeted by the "shy" little boy inside. The two were blinded.
Aunt Wang: "..."
Aunt Wang could only quietly go back to the living room, worrying about whether the family could eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
Fortunately, the two people in the kitchen still had some reason, and stopped cleaning their guns in time before the fire went off.
Yu Siyang put the extremely ugly wild mushrooms cut by Xue Chengxiu into the casserole, poured the broth into the pot, and then added the ham and scallops cooked with salt, monosodium glutamate, and sugar, thickened with mung bean starch, and placed in the pot. Heat on the stove over medium heat.
When the meal is ready, the soup is brought directly from the fire to the table. The soup is bright, the soup is thick, and it is extremely mellow and delicious.
After the soup was placed on the stove, Yu Siyang took out a crucian carp and said with a smile, "Do you want to try again?"
"I'm about to cut, is there any reward?" Xue Chengxiu smiled meaningfully.
Yu Siyang asked, "What reward do you want?"
Xue Chengxiu whispered something in Yu Siyang's ear, and saw his lover's face blushing.
"How?" Xue Chengxiu copied his hands and waited.
Yu Siyang slapped the fish on the chopping board, handed the knife to Xue Chengxiu, and waited with ease.
This time, Mr. Xue impressed Chef Yu with admiration. He opened the back, removed the gills, removed the scales, and cleaned the internal organs. Although he did not say it was done in one go, he was also neat.
Yu Siyang's chin fell on the ground and couldn't pick it up, he stuttered and said, "You, how are you..."
Xue Chengxiu became a peerless master.
Yu Siyang added minced mutton to diced bamboo shoots like in his sleepwalking, and stirred it with onion, ginger, garlic, Shaoxing wine, salt, soy sauce, water and starch to make mutton stuffing. He took the fish killed by Xue Chengxiu and stuffed the stuffing into the belly of the fish. , put it in the pot and add the seasoning to cook.
After finishing a purse crucian carp, he was still in a state of sleepwalking.
Although Aunt Wang was very worried, the New Year's Eve dinner in the Xue's villa was on time.
"Gong Xi Fa Cai, good luck and good fortune." Aunt Wang smiled and said auspicious words before going to the table.
For so many years, every year during the Spring Festival, Aunt Wang would say such a sentence, which is regarded as a regular program on New Year's Eve.
"Gong Xi Fa Cai, good luck and good luck." Yu Siyang also followed.
"Congratulations on getting rich, great luck." Xue Yunmu said in a milky voice.
"Gong Xi Fa Cai, great luck." Xue Chengxiu smiled slightly.
This sentence, no matter how many years he listened to it, made him feel warm.
On New Year's Eve, when there are lovers and families together, everything is warm.
At the end of the year, Xue Chengxiu finally began to ask for his reward.
Yu Siyang was so tormented by him that he burst into tears.
Xue Chengxiu exerted force and panted, "Agreed... What about the reward?"
Yu Siyang was too ashamed, but he was held tightly and could not escape.
"Baby." Xue Chengxiu urged, and moved deliberately.
Yu Siyang took a bite on Xue Chengxiu's shoulder. He couldn't take it anymore and shouted in a low voice, "Daddy Xue..."
Xue Chengxiu's movements paused for a while, and then he became too excited.
"Baby... call me again..."
During the long night, Yu Siyang was pitifully forced to call him that shameful title many times, and finally begged for mercy with a crying voice, only then did Xue Chengxiu let him go with satisfaction.
