Start with the script killing shop - #639 - Extra: New Year’s Eve Dinner (2)
When Jiang Qi reached the kitchen, sisters Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing had already started chopping vegetables.
In terms of sword skills, the two sisters are still good. After all, they were caught by the old man and practiced for several years earlier. It’s impossible to cut radish slices that are as thin as cicada wings, but radish slices that are uniformly thin and thick are still fine.
Washing vegetables and other things are not a problem, they are all going into your stomach at night, and there is absolutely no superficial effort.
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Juanlian chopped vegetables louder.
“Ahem.” Seeing that there were only two little aunts in the kitchen, Jiang Qi coughed twice, “Um, Xiao…Lian, Xiaoqing, isn’t Brother Feng here?”
As we all know, Brother Feng is a code name, not a seniority.
Jiang Qi could blurt out “little uncle” when facing Jiang Feng, but he couldn’t call him “little aunt” when facing two fat aunts who were much younger than him.
“Brother Qi, he usually doesn’t come to the kitchen until 6 o’clock, and there are still ten minutes left. Are you hungry? Do you want us to make you a bowl of noodles and an egg?” Jiang Junlian saw that the person coming was Jiang Qiye. I’m not disappointed, I just feel strange in my heart.
Getting up so early, could it be that they, the bosses, pretend not to work on weekdays, but actually get up early and secretly work, surprising everyone?
“No, I’m not hungry either.” Jiang Qi waved his hand, he really wasn’t hungry.
Whenever he comes to Peiping, he basically starts with four meals a day, and occasionally skips one or two meals without feeling hungry.
“Brother Qi, do you have anything to do with me?” Jiang Junlian asked.
“There is a small matter that needs to be discussed privately.” Jiang Qi nodded.
Jiang Juanlian heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and thought about what a beautiful thing it would be if her deskmate had Jiang Bing, Jiang Qi, Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Pei at the same time. Forget it Wen Luo, who is relatively strong and at the age where he can eat. He almost ate half as much food as Jiang Zaide.
“Sister, I remember the elbows are still in the backyard, right? I’m going to make elbows tonight. I have to get ready early in the morning. Let’s go to the backyard to get the meat first. You go with me.”
Although Jiang Junqing didn’t understand why he didn’t wait until Jiang Feng arrived before leaving, his sister was definitely right. He obediently put down the unfinished dishes and followed Jiang Juanlian to leave.
“Brother Qi, remember to tell him when he comes that the noodles in the pot have been cooked. Juan Qing and I cooked them for him. Let him eat a bowl of noodles first and don’t start working on it hungry. “
“Okay!” Jiang Qi nodded with a smile, thought for a while, took out two keychains from his pocket and gave them to the sisters.
“Take this, I specially made it for you as a New Year’s gift. I originally wanted to give it to you before the New Year’s Eve dinner. Since we met so early in the morning, I’ll give it to you two sisters first.”
Two keychains, a cornucopia, and a golden gourd. The heavy gold is very beautiful, exquisitely crafted, and lifelike.
The most important thing is that these two keychains are pure gold.
At this moment, the sisters seemed to see the aura of a billionaire in their eldest nephew.
“Brother Qi!” Jiang Junlian’s voice was extremely emotional.
“Brother Qi!” Jiang Junqing’s voice was extremely sincere.
“Happy New Year!” the sisters said in unison.
“Brother Qi, what do you want to eat? Don’t forget that today is New Year’s Eve. I know there is a stall selling wontons at the entrance of the alley. They will be open this morning. Their fresh meat wontons are always delicious, better than those made by my brother. That broken wonton is so much more delicious!”
“Would you like a big bowl or a small bowl? Eat a small bowl. Don’t eat too much today. We have a big meal in the evening. Eat the small bowl as an appetizer. I still have plums over there, so take two. I guarantee you will eat twice as much tonight!”
“And Brother Qi, let me tell you, if there is duck stuffed with glutinous rice tonight, don’t just eat the duck meat, the glutinous rice in it is the most delicious. The essence of the whole dish is in the glutinous rice!”
“The heart of golden jade cabbage is the tenderest. If you dip it in some vegetable soup, the taste will be delicious.”
“According to my brother’s habit, Buddha Jumping Over the Wall will definitely be left until everyone is almost done eating, and then I will serve it. It is said that it will be stuffed in the jar for a while when the heat is done. So you must not eat too much, otherwise it will be based on your appetite. I will definitely not be able to eat it by then, and I will have to make it easier for others.”
“Also, you must not sit next to Brother Cheng and Brother De when eating. They always bump into each other when they are grabbing food. If you stretch out your chopsticks, he will stretch out and snap the food you want to pick up, and the food will be gone. “
“Oh, by the way, according to the old custom, crispy apples are served before the meal. This dish must be eaten right after it comes out of the pot. The hotter and hotter it is, the better it tastes!”
“I wonder if I will make phoenix eggs today. The bigger the phoenix eggs, the more affordable they are, and the smaller ones are not the more delicious. Generally, the best size is about two pigeon eggs. Of course, it also depends on the color.”
“besides……”
Jiang Junlian was so moved that she immediately opened her heart to Jiang Qi and generously shared all her experience of eating New Year’s Eve dinner over the years. A deep affection spread in the kitchen.
Jiang Junqing listened in a daze for a while, thinking to herself, if you have such good knowledge, why didn’t you share it with me earlier?
I don’t…
Oh no, every year my sister will grab it directly for me.
Jiang Junqing was instantly relieved.
While Jiang Junlian was sharing her feelings, Jiang Feng’s chuckle suddenly came from outside the door, and the kitchen door was pushed open.
“What are you talking about so early in the morning? The kitchen is so busy.” Jiang Feng walked in with a smile, holding a handful of chives in his hand.
Seeing Jiang Feng come in, Jiang Juanlian smiled even brighter, her little mouth looked like it was covered with honey: “Brother, here you are, Juan Qing and I have cooked noodles for you, and two sugar-coated eggs are still warm after lying down. You can take advantage of this. Eat it hot. You must be hungry because you have to be busy up early in the morning. I have prepared some over there…”
Balabala’s long list of words, including greetings, cordial care and compliments, made Jiang Qi stunned for a while.
At the end, Jiang Juanlian left a message saying that Juan Qing and I will help you get the pork, and she took Jiang Juanqing away.
Jiang Feng, who had long been accustomed to his cousin’s rainbow fart offensive, smiled and didn’t care and went straight to serve noodles.
“Um…um…little uncle, I have something to tell you.” Jiang Qi hesitated to speak. He looked at the door and then at the window. Uneasy, he went up to check one by one to make sure that there was no one outside and that the doors and windows were closed. After being locked up tightly, he approached Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng:?
What kind of spy joint scenario is this?
“I have something to confess to you.”
“Um?”
“Do you have a system?”
“ah?”
“To be honest, I have one too.”
“ah?!”
“Your system was stuck before and has not been updated. We happened to bump into each other during your competition, so my system helped you update your system.”
“ah??!”
“Originally, I had no intention of confessing. After all, we are relatives, and our systems do not conflict with each other. But now I have a legendary kitchen utensil, no, there is a toy spirit.”
“The explanation of what the Toy Spirit is is very complicated. You should meet him first!”
After saying that, Jiang Qi took out the spatula from his pocket.
The spatula was held in Jiang Qi’s hand. Looking at it in front of him, he knew that his master liked cooking very much and would definitely use it frequently. He was a little shy for a moment and said in a slightly twisted voice:
“Hello, great master!”
“I’m a spatula, you can call me a spatula.”
“I…I really like cooking, and I really like you, and I hope you can like me.”
“Master…Master, you…you can use me to beat the garlic.”
Jiang Feng:……
At this moment, Jiang Feng felt that no matter how profound and profound the Chinese language was, it would be difficult to explain his mood at this moment.
He took a deep breath and pondered for a long time, unable to think about it.
He took another deep breath and tried to say something, but couldn’t.
After a long while, Jiang Feng said, “Let’s talk tomorrow. Let’s cook first. Today is quite busy.”
“Xiao Qi, are you free? Grab ten handfuls of mushrooms and help me soak them.”
Even if the world is destroyed, it will have to wait until after the New Year and the New Year’s Eve dinner before it is destroyed.
The sky is huge and the New Year’s Eve dinner is the biggest one on New Year’s Eve.
Jiang Qi:?
“Okay, little uncle!”
After working in the kitchen all morning, Jiang Qi was kicked out of the kitchen because his skill was not good enough, and he was treated the same as Jiang Zaide, Jiang Shoucheng, and Jiang Ran who were also not good enough (not good at cutting meat) and his mouth was not sweet enough.
Sitting in the yard, warming myself by the fire, and cracking melon seeds.
If you don’t crack some melon seeds in the activity of warming up over a fire, you always feel like something is missing.
As for Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Bing, Jiang Pei and Wen Luo, the four of them live in the courtyard of Professor Li’s house. They are still helping to clean up at Professor Li’s house. It will probably take half an afternoon before they can come over to eat melon seeds.
Jiang Qi felt that it was time to give out his New Year’s gift.
Jiang Qi looked around and found that there seemed to be a family missing.
It’s strange. Don’t Jiang Yong’s family, the Third Master’s family, have a New Year’s Eve dinner together on New Year’s Eve?
Jiang Qi knew that Jiang Yong was the editor-in-chief of “Zhiwei”. “Zhiwei” now has a special New Year issue and will be particularly busy during the New Year. Their family all works in Shanghai and they don’t come to Peking very often on weekdays. But the Third Master is here in Peiping, so he can’t come over to celebrate the New Year with him, right?
Jiang Qi also prepared keychains for this family.
“Brother De, haven’t the Third Master’s sons and their family arrived in Peking yet?” Jiang Qi asked.
“Ah?” Jiang Zaide was stunned for a moment, then said, “Oh, you mean Jiang Xiaoran and the others, right? They won’t be here to celebrate the New Year this year, and “Zhiwei” is working overtime. Jiang Xiaoran will go to his grandpa’s house to celebrate the New Year this year, which is very convenient in Modu. , it is estimated that he will not come until after the second grade of junior high school.”
Jiang Qi nodded and took out the keychain from his pocket.
Jiang Qi asked Grandma Nangong to find a master goldsmith to customize these keychains.
Grandma Nangong has been deeply in love with gold leaf products since she sprinkled them with gold leaves a few years ago. She has made exquisite gadgets of various shapes and introduced new ones every year.
Jiang Qi, his master goldsmith, is relieved.
Since it is specially customized, everyone’s keychain is naturally different.
Jiang Zaide is a designer. Considering that Jiang Zaide hates this industry deeply, his keychain is a heavy little gold house.
Jiang Shoucheng’s is a first aid kit.
Jiang Ran’s is the golden abacus.
Jiang Feng’s is cartouched yam.
Wu Minqi’s is spicy boiled fish.
The old man’s is Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.
Grandma Jiang’s is scones.
Jiang Weiming’s is fish head with chopped pepper.
Jiang Jianguo and his wife had a rolling pin and oranges.
What Jiang Jiandang and his wife want is a casserole and a money tree. (Jiang Jiandang has recently fallen in love with soup making)
Jiang Jiankang and his wife are fried rice and account books.
Jiang Jianye and his wife are an ordinary kitten and a lucky cat.
Jiang Jianshe and his wife are ordinary puppies and Alaskans.
It can be said to be very considerate.
Everyone who received the gift said yes.
On this year’s 30th, who can look at Jiang Qi and not say a word, my good nephew/grandnephew/great-nephew is really a generous, considerate and decent person.
Then Jiang Qi received New Year’s Eve dinner tips from the whole family.
How to eat which dish first and which dish to eat later? What is the safest way to guess the dishes? When you are full, you should put your chopsticks away and wait for the final finishing touch. Which dish is best not to be eaten consecutively to avoid flavor transfer.
All of them are precious secrets that will never be told to outsiders, not even to brothers.
Then everyone discovered that their situation was still small.
No matter how precious and useful the secrets are, they are useless in front of the absolutely sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.
No matter what you eat first, which one you eat later.
Eat, give it all to me!
This year’s Jiang family’s New Year’s Eve dishes are as follows: ignore the eight cold dishes (all are old man’s stewed dishes)
Eighteen hot dishes:
Family portrait, three sets of duck, crab stuffed with orange, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo meat, Sixi meatballs, braised shark fin, clear soup with willow leaf agar, Jiang’s ginseng soup, braised abalone, boiled dry shreds, Wensi tofu, steamed Jiang Tuan, chicken bean curd, shredded yam, phoenix egg, golden cabbage and Buddha jumping over the wall.
With such a lineup, not to mention Jiang Qi and others, even Jiang Zaide and others who had been having the Jiang family’s New Year’s Eve dinner for more than 20 years were shocked.
Is my little brother going crazy with joy?
Great, can I be this crazy every year?
Two sisters, Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing, who had successfully sneaked into Jiang Qi’s table, enthusiastically introduced the name of each dish to the people at the table who had never seen the world before, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
The feeling of this kind of knowledge sliding through the brain is really delicious.
Take a deep breath.
It’s really delicious.
Everyone is inhaling frantically, as if one more sniff means one more puff.
Everyone sat obediently at the dining table. No one dared to take chopsticks. After all, the chef Jiang Feng hadn’t served the food yet.
What? Stretch out your chopsticks in advance?
Do you still want to have next year’s New Year’s Eve dinner?
A few minutes later, Jiang Feng changed his clothes and took a seat.
Among the eighteen hot dishes, the family portrait is the first dish, which is the first course of the banquet. It is used to reflect the richness and size of the banquet.
This dish is different from the clear soup family portrait that the old man made before. The ingredients are not expensive but very rich. Meatballs, egg rolls, fried pork skin, winter bamboo shoots, bean shoots, fungus, vegetarian meat slices, cooked tripe slices, cuttlefish slices, chicken gizzards, chicken liver and other ingredients are cooked, steamed, stir-fried, sliced and plated separately, and finally stewed It’s a big pot with all kinds of colors, very pretty.
Jiang Feng is a leader in plate presentation, and the family portraits he personally made are comparable to works of art such as golden pheasants and cold dishes.
Seeing Jiang Feng serving the table, Jiang Weiming stood up with a smile and raised his glass.
“Happy New Year everyone!”
The simplest words and the most sincere blessings.
Everyone raised their glasses together.
“Third Brother/Third Uncle/Third Grandpa/Third Grandpa, Happy New Year!”
.
Happy New Year!
I’m ready to eat. I wish everyone good food and drink, and good luck and peace in the coming year. (End of chapter)
