At this time, Wang Xiaochen stood behind the two of them for a long time. Suddenly, he spoke, which scared the two of them: "Dad, I'm looking for Xie Xiaoke to smoke and drink again, right?"

Wang Zehan said with a smile: "Is it the New Year today? Just this time, it's not too much to smoke once a year!"

Wang Xiaochen rolled his eyes: "I don't care, you tell me to go!"

"Needless to say, just ask Xiaoke to give it to me later. Your mother doesn't know how to talk at the New Year's Eve dinner. She has to give me some face, right?"

"Yes, you have such a big face!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Xiaoke hurried to the kitchen to make New Year’s Eve dinner. Today he is the chef.

In fact, he didn't prepare cigarettes and alcohol at all. He just set up a little at home. After arriving at the kitchen, he immediately sent someone to prepare and send it to him immediately.

After making the call, Xie Xiaoke began to organize side dishes and ingredients in the kitchen. This year's New Year dishes are mainly southern-style and slightly spicy, and most of them are dishes that Xie Xiaoke has never cooked before. They are reserved for the two of them to show off their skills during the New Year, and even Wang Xiaochen has never eaten them.

The Kitchen Yitong contains almost all home-cooked dishes, including home-cooked recipes for all hotel names in the eight major cuisines nationwide. The seasonings and ingredients for certain dishes are basically available. Even if you can't buy them, Xie Xiaoke can buy the corresponding materials to make them yourself.

For today's dishes, he made a lot of seasonings in advance, such as spicy red oil, fermented soy sauce, xyi sauce, etc., which were all placed in the kitchen. And today is the Chinese New Year, so he decided that except for the bodyguard, others, including the maid and the chef butler, would go home for the holiday to celebrate the Chinese New Year with his family. Chef Xie Xiaoke is here, and they don't need them.

Shui, who works outside, doesn't want to go back to spend the New Year with his family. He just has three salary during the New Year and is reluctant to let the money go. However, Xie Xiaoke promised them that even if he goes home for the New Year, he will have three salary, including the employees in the company. During the New Year, all the holidays will be on 10 days, and all the three salary during the legal holidays are statutory.

Wang Xiaochen and his parents were busy in the living room outside, pasting Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" (at least traditional customs cannot be omitted. In fact, their parents' generation did not care much, especially the elderly in their grandparents who valued these things the most.

There were many New Year snacks on the table. Xie Qiang kept watching them, and then reached out to hold one, thinking that others didn't know.

Seeing that Wang Xiaochen was almost busy, he came to the kitchen to help Xie Xiaoke, while the four parents took Xie Qiang to play in the living room while chatting.

What Xie Xiaoke was making pineapple sweet and sour pork ribs at this time. He had cut the ribs into pieces and soaked them in clean water for half an hour, mainly to force out the blood in the ribs and prevent them from turning black during the production process.

"Help me get the pineapple!"

"Ao!" Wang Xiaochen brought the pineapple over as if she was wearing an apron.

After Xie Xiaoke finished the pineapple, he used a fruit knife to dig out the winning pulp for later use.

Pineapple is also called pineapple in some places. Due to its different growth environment, the quality is different. However, it is just one thing. The pineapple crisps sold on the market are made of pineapple.

Moreover, among all the fruits, pineapples are relatively cheap and don’t cost much, one is about 10 yuan.

Cut the pulp into thick slices and put it aside, then cut a little green and red pepper to match the color. Although this is a home-cooked dish, it needs to be posted on WeChat Moments, so it must be made beautifully.

Take out the ribs and add salt, sugar, egg and cooking wine and stir evenly, then add raw powder and continue to stir. Marinate for 15 minutes. After marinating, heat the pan and add oil. The oil temperature is 40% hot. Add the ribs and fry for 8 minutes. After frying, take out and control oil.

Add water, salt sugar, and boil the water, add green and red peppers for 5 seconds to blanch it, then add pineapple, blanch it for 2 seconds and remove it.

Add water to the pot, then add sweet and sour sauce, bring to a boil over high heat, add green and red pepper pineapple ribs, stir-fry for a little, then directly out of the pot and hit the hollowed pineapple, and this dish is ready.

Each dish at the end is very troublesome and requires patience and care. Fortunately, Xie Xiaoke’s kitchen uses a hotel-style stove, which is very hot, so the production process is very fast and does not take a lot of time like an ordinary family stove.

There are fried and baked eel, Guru, fish cakes, spicy chicken, turn sand, taro, ginger, onion, stir-fried crab, white shrimp, and finally made a dish of floral gelatin chicken. The chicken is from Wang Sao's family.

Because some dishes require a lot of seasonings, Xie Xiaoke has been preparing since yesterday, so that he can finish all the dishes quickly today without wasting time.

The whole family is busy preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner. This feeling makes people go back to their childhood. At that time, everyone was so simple and innocent. Every 15:00 pm on New Year’s Eve, the first family in the village will light firecrackers when they start dinner. Only a "boom" sound in the sky was heard. People who were busy at home would turn their heads and look at it. As long as the adults look at the same approximate location, they would know which one they were.

Sometimes they would stand at their door and shout blessings to their neighbors. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, they would visit each other from house to house. Then, both adults and children started playing mahjong. There were no entertainment facilities in the countryside. Even the children who usually like to play Xiaobawang learning machines would not go to play again this day, but played mahjong with other children. Those who had money would gamble, and those who had no money would stick papers on their faces. They would be much happier than they are now.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was on, and since fireworks could not be set off, the atmosphere could only be like this. Six adults and one child gathered on the table, and they all laughed like flowers.

"Come on, in-laws, I'll toast you for the rest of my life. Xiaochen still hopes you will worry more at your house, hahaha!" Wang Zehan picked up the cup and toasted Xie Xiaofeng.

The two of them started to eat, and the table was full of joy.

Seeing that everyone had eaten a lot of food in the vegetable cup, Xie Xiaoke felt at ease, and he was afraid that no one liked the fruits of his labor that had been busy for a long time.

...

After dinner in the evening, four old men watched TV in the living room, while Xie Xiaoke and Wang Xiaochen took Xie Qiang out to play. Although the big fireworks could not be set, it was still OK to hold the fairy stick in his hand.

The family was playing in the yard outside, laughter and screaming.

Just when everyone was having a happy New Year, Zhou Shengfu was in a downturn.

When he signed a contract with Xie Xiaoke for a purchase and sale company, Xie Xiaoke gave him billion. After he returned, he sold his car. He sold a house in Shencheng, two houses in Huangzhou, and the houses in Kowloon, Hong Kong. All the money was used to pay off the company's foreign debts. There was still about 2 million left. He went to Hebei Village in the northern part of the New Territories to sell a small house. In the environment of the mountains and rivers, the family lived a pastoral life, planted some fruit trees, and raised a few pigs.

Plant beans at the south mountain, and the grass is abundant and the bean seedlings are sparse.

I recover from the morning and clean up the desolate and return home with a hoe on the moon.

The famous quotes by the Southern Song poet Tao Yuanming not only sounded in Zhou Shengfu's ears, but he was deeply relieved.

The so-called "knowing the times" is a hero. If you are still so stubborn and continue to fight against Xie Xiaoke, the consequences will only make you never have a turnaround.
