Ke Ge's family celebrates the new year together, of course Ke Hanxue can't stand by and watch, and she will still be the chef for this new year's New Year's Eve dinner.

It's just that this year is not as good as in previous years, and there are no other ingredients except chicken, duck and bacon, so Ke Hanxue is very troublesome. It takes a lot of effort to make this ordinary thing into an extraordinary dish.

Ke Hanxue looked at the chickens and ducks that had been killed, and thought for a while before starting to do it.

Two maids also voluntarily and consciously entered the kitchen to help.

"Miss Xue'er, what should the servants do?" Seeing that the master Ke Hanxue was busy, the two maids were at a loss, but they didn't know what they could do to help?
They already knew from Ouyang Fan that this Miss Xue'er was the future young mistress of the Ge family, so they both respected and feared Ke Hanxue.

Ke Hanxue pointed, and was about to ask one of the maids to wash the radish sent by Tongsuo Niang, but suddenly realized that she didn't even know their names.

"By the way, what's your name?" Ke Hanxue asked while rubbing seasoning on the chicken.

"Go back to Miss Xue'er, the servant girl is called Xiaoya."

"The maidservant's name is Gui Qing."

"What are the names of your other two sisters?" Ke Hanxue asked with a smile.

Seeing that Ke Hanxue was smiling, they were not as serious as Ge Yunzhang, and they became more courageous, and replied to Ke Hanxue: "Ms. Xue'er, the other two are called Caihua and Mufeng."

"What about the other men?" Ke Hanxue asked casually, but secretly looked at their words and deeds.

"They are called Gao Fei, Wu Shengda, Ma Dashan, and Cai Yiqian." The maid named Gui Qing replied with a smile.

Ke Hanxue frowned and thought for a while, then laughed again: "I really can't remember all of a sudden."

"Miss Xue'er, it doesn't matter if you can't remember the names of the servants, as long as you remember our faces." The maid named Xiaoya said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ke Hanxue also smiled, pointed to the bacon on the side and told Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, help me wash this bacon, and then put it in the pot to steam."

Ke Hanxue saw that the behavior of these two people was more casual, and they didn't look like people trained in the palace, so she felt relieved.

"Yes."

"Miss Xue'er, what is the servant going to do?" the maid named Gui Qing asked.

"You?" Ke Hanxue frowned and thought about it, and suddenly remembered that Ge Shi liked to eat the crystal dumplings she made, so she said, "Help me take out the two kinds of noodles in the cloth bag, and then cut some for me Pork belly and shiitake mushrooms, I will teach you how to make crystal dumplings later."

"Yes."

Ke Hanxue first spread the seasoning on the chicken and waited for it to taste, and then made crystal dumplings with two maids.

Because there were not many ingredients, Ke Hanxue only made crystal dumplings, a braised duck stew with ginger, a roast chicken, a sliced ​​bacon, and a big backbone vegetable soup, not even vegetables.

Although there were not many dishes, when these dishes were served, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

Bacon is not uncommon to everyone. Everyone has eaten crystal dumplings. Just the stewed duck with ginger and the sliced ​​roast chicken are enough to amaze them. When the stewed duck with ginger is served on the table, it has a strong aroma. Coming, people can't help but twitch their index fingers.

Look at the plate of grilled chicken slices again. The skeleton of the chicken has been removed, leaving only the chicken with the skin on top of each other.

Making this grilled chicken slices requires not only a test of knife skills, but also the right heat. The golden chicken skin is very crispy at first glance.

"The dishes are all served, let's eat while it's hot." Ke Hanxue put the last dish of roast chicken dipping sauce on the table and said with a smile.

Drinking is of course indispensable for Chinese New Year. Nie Hui took out the two jars of wine he bought and poured a glass for each of Ke Shuisheng's men before retreating.

Everyone just moved their chopsticks when they heard someone knocking on Ge's courtyard door.

"Guiqing, go and see who it is?" Ge said, who could come at this time?
"Yes, old lady!"

As soon as Gui Qing opened the door, before he could see who was coming, the two forced their way in.

"Who are you?" Gui Qing hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"Aunt Ge, Mr. Ge, happy new year! Have you had the New Year's Eve dinner so early?" Meizhi Niang pushed Gui Qing away vigorously, and pulled her daughter into the hall unceremoniously.

Gui Qing didn't stop the two of them, worried about being blamed by his master, he chased after them in a panic: "Madam, these two..."

"Ms. Meizhi, why are you here?" Ge Shi waved to Gui Qing, and forced a smile to Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter.

Seeing these two women, Ge Yunzhang and Ke Hanxue frowned at the same time, and when Ke Shuisheng and others saw them, their joyful mood sank.

Mei Zhiniang secretly glanced at the rich dishes on the table, couldn't help swallowing, then lifted the basket in her hand, and said with a dry smile: "Ms. Ge, Young Master Ge, we are here to wish you a happy new year."

"Mei Zhi Niang, you are so polite. We all live in the same village, so we come here as soon as we come. What else can we bring?" Ge Shi let them go to the tea table in the living room, and told the little girl: "Little girl, go and make a cup of tea for Niang Meizhi and Miss Meizhi."

"Yes, old lady." Xiaoya said and retreated into the side yard.

"Hey, Mrs. Ge, when did your family hire someone?" Mei Zhiniang glanced at Gui Qing and the others, her eyes sparkled.

Ge Shi smiled faintly, but did not answer.

And Ke Meizhi's eyes had been glued to Ge Yunzhang's body from the moment he entered the yard, and Ge Yunzhang's face showed an undisguised disgust towards Ke Meizhi.

Ke Hanxue pursed her lips, and deliberately shouted to Ge Shi: "Ms. Ge, this meal is getting cold, so let's treat guests after eating."

After hearing Ke Hanxue's words, Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter looked up at her, and then said to Ge Shi: "Ms. Ge, I really envy you. This year's New Year's Eve dinner is the happiest for your family."

"Hehe, didn't the prince's people also prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for you?" Ge said patiently and perfunctorily.

"That's not as good as eating at your own home." Mei Zhiniang rolled her eyes, glanced at the table, and said, "Besides, our New Year's Eve dinner isn't ready yet!"

Mei Zhiniang originally thought that she said this, how could Ge Shi politely ask them if they want to eat here first, but unexpectedly, Ge Shi pretended not to understand what she said, and said: "It's getting late , should be ready soon, right?"

I don't know whether Ke Meizhi's mother and daughter really couldn't hear that Geshi was urging them to go back, or they pretended not to understand what Geshi's words meant, and they still sat there with a shy face and started drinking the tea that Xiaoya made for them.
