"Uncle, let's play mahjong!" Old Qi ignored me and suddenly suggested to my dad.
"Playing mahjong? The three of us?" My dad asked puzzled.
In fact, my family don't like to play mahjong. Usually, the mahjong tiles at home are put on the shelf and kept in storage. However, there are too many people during Chinese New Year and holidays, and occasionally they are occasionally used for fun.
Now Xiaofeng and my mother are busy in the kitchen, and the three of us are idle here, but we can play for a while, but three are lacking and one is not enough!
Moreover, I also feel that Lao Qi’s proposal is too sudden, obviously to avoid the topic just now, this has made me a little more questionable, what is going on between him and Xiaofeng
To be honest, the old Qi and I are iron buddies, but we usually have a lot of fun together, but we rarely say intimate things. Especially the relationship between each other is rarely mentioned, so I hardly know what happened between him and Xiaofeng.
It’s not right to think about it. As a best friend, I have to help them. If there are really problems that can’t be solved, I should do my best. Now he doesn't want to mention it in front of my dad, so forget it, but you have to ask him later.
"Come on, three missing one, how to play!" I rejected this proposal, "just play with the landlord!"
With that said, I fetched the playing cards and started shuffling the cards on the coffee table. It's the New Year, so happy, everyone has fun together, or playing cards for a while.
Old Qi, who seemed to be worried just now, played the cards as if he had forgotten everything! His card skills are good, he is better than me and my dad anyway, he always wins. Our game was not too big, it was only 1 yuan, but after a while, he won us more than 100 yuan!
Especially my dad, he didn't play often, he didn't quite understand some of the rules, he had already lost almost 100 yuan at this time, and sweat oozes from the tip of his nose!
I couldn't help but step on Old Qi's foot secretly, which meant to remind him, let my dad be the one who celebrates the New Year, to make the old man happy! But the old seven didn't pay attention to my stubbornness at all. He really complied with that sentence: There is no father and son in the casino!
The old seventh who won in the head, now feels a little bit of denial!
"Yeah! Play it! Who won?" My mother suddenly came to our poker game at this time and asked curiously.
"You son-in-law won!" I rolled my eyes and glanced at Lao Qi and replied.
"Why are you here? Don't you cook?" My dad also raised his head and looked at my mom and asked.
"Xiaofeng, this girl is really good, she said that she will cook all the dishes, let us all taste her craft!" My mother explained with a smile, "Oh, it's the first time I've beaten my hands in so many years. Come and see if it's okay. !"
Xiaofeng is particularly likable for this, and she is diligent! The housework is done well, even the clinic
The hygiene inside is also very clean by her! I always feel that Lao Qi has picked up the baby!
This year's New Year, how about her craftsmanship! She is usually a foodie. Not only does she like to go to various restaurants to taste delicious food, she also does research on her own, and it should be good!
In this way, while playing cards, we are looking forward to the New Year’s Eve dinner at this table, especially when the smell of stir-fried vegetables comes out, one dish after another is brought to the table by my mother, and my mind is no longer on the game. .
In this way, when my mother finally asked us to eat, I lost more than 200 yuan, and my dad lost even more badly, losing 400 yuan! Old Qi, this guy triumphantly counts the money, it makes me feel angry!
The custom here in our house is to eat New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon. After eating, we make dumplings and cook them while watching the Spring Festival Gala in the evening. Therefore, when Xiaofeng was busy with a table of food, it happened to be 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Huh! As soon as I saw the delicious food at this table, the unhappiness of losing money was wiped out. This is too rich!
In the middle of the table, there was a big red lobster! We didn't buy this. My family has never eaten this before and can't make it. It should have been bought by Lao Qi and Xiaofeng. Around the lobster, there are also many kinds of seafood, such as steamed flying crab, braised prawns in oil, as well as sashimi and sea cucumber!
Good guy, there is a plate of abalone! How much did it cost? Old Qi and Xiaofeng were really willing to bleed! These 31 novel app download addresses were not bought by us. My family never bought these before even for New Year’s Eve dinners!
In addition to seafood, the most attractive is a sweet and sour carp. It is golden in color, pouring in juice, and the fish is beautifully presented. Just looking at it is already mouth-watering!
As for the others, they are all common dishes during the Chinese New Year, but after Xiaofeng's hands, they look very different, mainly beautiful! Even the ham sausages were cut and placed neatly on the plate, forming a flower shape. It was really hard!
This table is enough for ten people to eat! Xiaofeng is really not easy! I used to know that she was good at craftsmanship, but I didn't expect to be so professional! She is a psychiatrist, she is simply a chef!
The dishes are all ready, and we are all seated. Xiaofeng also deliberately introduced us to the names of the dishes, and there are a lot of sayings and particularities in them, and she even gave us nice names for some dishes!
For example, the sweet and sour carp, she said: Golden carp jumped over the dragon gate! After she said, I really looked like a golden carp leaping up!
Suddenly, I had the illusion that I seemed to have traveled to ancient times. I was a prince and nobleman. I was facing a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas. The court ladies and the imperial chefs next to me were introducing the dishes! It really feels a bit of noble enjoyment!
"You... Where did you learn this?" I was surprised for a while and hurriedly asked Xiaofeng curiously.
.
"Thinking about it by myself, I didn't learn it!" Xiaofeng said with a smug expression, standing there with her waist in her waist.
I know that Xiaofeng is a foodie, and she doesn’t eat less of all kinds of delicacies. I didn’t expect that she not only eats, but she may also be thinking about how to make this dish while she is eating. That’s why she can contribute such a big table today. Delicious food!
"I have to taste it quickly, don't look down on it!" As I said, I picked up my chopsticks, first took a bite of Sixi balls, and sent them to my mouth.
Oh my god, it's so delicious! Even better than the restaurant! This mince is chopped from the fine meat that she bought. It is suitable for fat and lean, soft in the mouth, and has a strong aroma. I don't know what she added!
"Is it delicious?" Xiaofeng hurriedly asked when I had tasted it.
"It's not delicious, it's so delicious! How do you make this!" I asked quickly with a look of surprise.
Xiaofeng was pretending to be mysterious, and he became humble without explaining. "This is still anxious today. If the meat can be simmered in advance, it will be even better!"
Faced with such a table of dishes, my parents and old seven, no one was polite, picked up chopsticks to taste, after eating, they were full of praise!
"My daughter's craftsmanship is so good, Gaoxin can't do it, when have I been in the kitchen!" My mother praised Xiaofeng while complaining about me.
"I'm a big man, what kind of kitchen!" I frowned, and began to chauvinism again.
"What you are used to is! You and your dad, like an uncle all day long, I serve you!" Although my mother said this, she still couldn't hide the smile on her face. It seems that it is really right to invite Xiaofeng and Lao Qi to celebrate the New Year today.
Not to mention, the seafood was all bought by them. The price is high and it doesn't cost much. If you think about it this way, it's worthwhile to lose seven or hundreds of dollars just now!
"My wife, it's the Chinese New Year today. Bring my good wine!" Seeing that today's food is so rich, my dad became addicted to alcohol.
"The food is good, you can't drink too much, do you hear it!" My mother still took care of him.
"Come on, I'll go get it, I'm happy today, let my dad have a drink, it's okay!" With that, I ran to the wine cabinet at home, ready to get the wine.
"Xiaoxin, get the best bottle!" My dad urged me quickly.
The best bottle my dad said was the Langjiu that someone gave him the year he and my mother got married. Although this wine is not as famous as Maotai Wuliangye, it is also the best of white wine, especially after it has been treasured for so many years, it is very rare!
"Really? Dad, are you willing?" This old wine man has been cherishing for almost 30 years, and now he wants to drink it out. It is estimated that he is really too happy.
"Bring it, we drank it today!" My dad said with a smile.
What he said was that the speaker was unintentional, but the old seven drunkard had already started to swallow! (End of this chapter)
