Happy private dishes

Chapter 144

As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household begins to visit relatives and friends.

Xiao Xu brought Bai Xiaomeng to wish Fang Shulan Su Yongmin New Year's greetings. Since Su Yongmin became Kou Yuanyuan's father, he has also taken good care of Xiao Xu.This dry relationship has been maintained very well.

Seeing Xiao Xu and their young couple coming, Su Yongmin smiled and wanted to show up, and refused others to help.In the end, it was Fang Shulan who went to help him.Parents have to cook a delicious meal for their children.

So Xiao Xu and Su Jixiang got together to chat.Xiao Xu and Ji Xiang have different interests and hobbies.However, because they are about the same age, it is quite interesting to get together to chat.However, the two elder brothers glanced at Kou Yuanyuan from time to time while chatting.This made Kou Yuanyuan feel that the two of them were probably talking about her.

Bai Xiaomeng has also been chatting with Kou Yuanyuan, talking about her and Xiao Xu's recent situation and future plans.Bai Xiaomeng at this time is a little different from last year's Spring Festival.

Last year, when Xiao Meng got love, it was like getting the whole world.At that time, her mother finally affirmed Xiao Xu, and Xiao Meng felt that everything was fine.This year, after being baptized by reality, Xiaomeng had to start thinking about her and Xiaoxu's future under the pressure of finding a job after graduating from university.

Xiao Meng decided to become a primary school teacher. She and Xiao Xu had several discussions about marriage.

From Bai Xiaomeng's point of view, as long as he can be with Xiao Xu, it's enough, even a naked marriage doesn't matter.However, Xiao Xu didn't want to wrong Xiaomeng at all, he wanted to give her a beautiful wedding.Therefore, he wants to wait a year or two until his career stabilizes and he saves more money to get married.

In the end, both men compromised.They decided to do the same as the master, get the certificate first, live together, and wait until the conditions are better before holding the wedding.

Xiao Xu and Bai Xiaomeng have been together for a year, they know each other better, and they have learned how to get along better.Not only did their feelings not weaken with the passage of time, but it became stronger and stronger.

Perhaps, the social reality made them understand the cruelty of life, and they did not receive much favor from God.Without the blessing of their parents, without the glory left by their ancestors, and without luxury cars and mansions, all they have is each other.A happy life can only be created with your own hands.

Because of this, many college couples face breaking up as soon as they graduate.

However, both Xiao Xu and Bai Xiaomeng are down-to-earth people, they are both willing to pay for each other, and want to turn their first love into a lifetime.No matter how harsh life is in the future, they will hold hands and face it together.

When Xiao Xu and Xiao Meng were chatting, they looked at each other from time to time.The small interactions between them are very interesting, even when they are seated for dinner, Xiao Xu will take the initiative to help Xiao Meng pick up her favorite dishes.

Seeing Xiao Xu and Bai Xiaomeng so happy, Kou Yuanyuan suddenly felt an indescribable envy.In the future, she and Zhao Feiran will probably face the same choice.At that time, they will definitely hold hands and go on together, no matter how difficult it is.

Before the Chinese New Year, Kou Yuanyuan would often visit Master Yan.

Master Yan is still the same, he has been obsessed with studying the "Yuyuan Shilu" now.Combined with the "Yuyuan Food List" bought on the market, Master Yan has more insights on food.It seems that some ideas of Kou Yuanyuan brought new inspiration to Master Yan during the banquet at He's house that day.

Therefore, when Kou Yuanyuan went to see Master Yan, Master Yan also talked about cooking.Kou Yuanyuan accidentally said something, which triggered some thoughts of Master Yan, and he would soon fall into deep thought.

Kou Yuanyuan felt that Master Yan's cooking skills seemed to have reached a critical point.As long as he crossed that line, Master Yan's cooking skills would definitely be greatly improved.However, how to get over it is a big problem.

In this state, Master Yan has no intention of celebrating the New Year at all, and has completely gotten into the recipes.There was no other way, Kou Yuanyuan could only take a lot of half-finished New Year's Eve dinners made by her mother from home and put them in Master Yan's house.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, Kou Yuanyuan specially cleaned Master Yan's room, pasted upside-down blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets for him, and then cooked a table of dishes for Master Yan.

In Master Yan's house, it finally feels like a new year.However, the master and the apprentice were eating happily, and Master Yan seemed to have no idea where he was going, and started to look through the recipes again.

Kou Yuanyuan originally wanted to invite Master Yan to her home for the New Year, but Master Yan refused.

"Because, I'm going to celebrate the New Year at the old Lu's house!" Master Yan narrowed his eyes with a smile.At this time, he still had a bitter face, but there was no trace of bitterness left on his face.

His life now is very happy and contented.Earning money with my own hands, and being able to cook as I like, and having a little apprentice who always comes to take care of him like a daughter in my life, there is really nothing better than this kind of life.

Especially after arriving at the old Lu's house, he was no longer alone.There are so many people celebrating the New Year with him, and everyone is having a good time together, and he can still see the boys playing cards and chatting, so why is Kou Yuanyuan worried?
"It's a pity, I can't go to the old Lu's house to celebrate the New Year this year!" Kou Yuanyuan murmured after hearing what the master said, with a bit of disappointment in her voice.

Life is about being with some and parting with others.

"That's because you have a new family this year. Yuanyuan, you should stay at home and get along with your new father and brother! No matter whether you are together for the New Year or not, you are still from the old Lu family!" Master Yan He comforted the little apprentice patiently.

"Well, I just feel a little regretful!" Kou Yuanyuan whispered.Then, he gave Master Yan the warm sweater he specially bought.This year, she doesn't have time to knit gloves, but the three-piece pure wool sweater she carefully selected keeps her warm.

Master Yan stood in the room that Kou Yuanyuan made beaming, wearing the sweater Kou Yuanyuan gave him.That old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.His old buddies were envious of him again.

The failure of the first half of his life left him with almost nothing, but now he has more precious wealth.Over fifty years old, his new life has just begun, but life is getting more and more enjoyable.

On that day, Kou Yuanyuan was pleasantly surprised to receive a red envelope from Master Yan.

After seeing Master Yan, of course Kou Yuanyuan also went to see Master Lu.

These are all the etiquette that her junior needs, except for her first year apprenticeship, Kou Yuanyuan does not need Fang Shulan to follow her.Even the gifts were chosen by Kou Yuanyuan herself.

Fang Shulan saw that the gifts Kou Yuanyuan chose were all well-measured, so she didn't point fingers.Her daughter really knows the ways of the world, except for the accident of Zhao Feiran, Kou Yuanyuan has her own way of doing things.

Kou Yuanyuan deliberately picked someone to go when Lu Yuchi was at home, but it turned out that it was Cheng Hongying who opened the door.Kou Yuanyuan was both surprised and delighted.She really didn't expect that in less than two years, Cheng Hongying could miraculously walk by herself.Just walk slower than normal people.

"Master, you are really great now! I'm here to wish you and the master a New Year's greetings, Master, Happy New Year!"

"Yuanyuan, Happy New Year to you too!" Cheng Hongying hurriedly let her in, then looked at her and kept smiling.

The year before last, Cheng Hongying had an accident and lost her ability to walk and her confidence in life.She even once wanted to give up her hard-won love, she didn't want to be a drag on Lu Yuchi.It was Kou Yuanyuan's words that moved her and opened her heart.

"As long as you work hard, you will be able to stand up again. Those with prosthetics can walk and jump, and even participate in the Olympics. Sister Cheng, do you still have your legs?" Kou Yuanyuan said to her with such certainty, as if I've seen her walk.

For the past two years, Lu Yuchi has been silently accompanying her and taking care of her, while Cheng Hongying persisted in her recovery with her greatest enthusiasm.

Then, now, Cheng Hongying was finally able to walk again.

After experiencing this ordeal, Cheng Hongying is full of gratitude for life and love.She also took note of Kou Yuanyuan and Xiao Xu's care for her.So, now Cheng Hongying really regards Kou Yuanyuan as her own child.

Cheng Hongying gave Kou Yuanyuan a big red envelope, and chatted with her about her plans for next year.

"I discussed it with your master, and I plan to wait for the wedding next autumn. At that time, I will probably walk more steadily, and I can stand beside your master in a wedding dress."

"At that time, the teacher's wife must be the most beautiful bride!" Kou Yuanyuan said with longing.

"Well, at least, when the time comes, I will be worthy of him!"

"Actually, you have always been worthy of it. From the very beginning, the teacher's wife has been very good!"

At this point, Kou Yuanyuan seems to finally understand why she has a wife if she has money but not.It turned out that when the Chinese New Year came, people around became very keen to talk about marriage.

Fang Shulan and Su Yongmin rushed to hold a wedding banquet during the Spring Festival, and their marriage was also made public through Weibo; Xiao Xu and Bai Xiaomeng planned to wait until Xiaomeng graduated to obtain a certificate; Lu Yuchi and Cheng Hongying planned to hold a wedding next year; Tian Mirou also sent her a message to Qiuqiu, saying that she wanted a flash marriage!

When Kou Yuanyuan and her family went to visit Feng Zongshi, they saw Feng Zongshi admonishing Feng Yuanbin domineeringly.

"How old are you? You still need me, an old lady, to worry about you. After finally finding a suitable one for you, you didn't go on a blind date? Are you trying to piss me off, an old lady?"

"Where? Cousin, I really went. It's just that the girl is too young to be my daughter, and she is dressed in such a trendy way. I really can't accept it, so I quietly left!" Feng Yuanbin honestly Honestly.

"What is going to be your daughter soon? She is in her thirties and almost forty!" Grandma Feng almost went over to pat him.

"If it's forty, it's even worse. At this age, what kind of green paint is there? Just by looking at that face, there is a lot of hyaluronic acid! How can such a beauty-loving woman live a good life?"

"You are over 40, why are you still picking and choosing?" Feng Zongshi was so angry that she was really worried about Feng Yuanbin, a child who was raised since childhood.

Feng Yuanbin is in his 40s this year and is a well-known culinary master in Huaguo.Because of his good looks, good cooking skills, and often being a judge on TV, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the idol of many housewives.

However, Master Feng never married again after his first marriage failed.Probably because the shadow of the first marriage was too great, Feng Yuanbin had several girlfriends, but none of them could get along for a long time.Up to now, Feng Yuanbin has completely given up on his marriage.

Some people seem destined not to be able to wait for their own love.Some people can't wait any longer, and choose to find a random partner to marry and live together as a partner.Some people decide to live their lives alone, at least they can be free.Feng Yuanbin is undoubtedly the latter.

Looking at Uncle Feng's smiling face, Kou Yuanyuan had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

On the most festive days, people are getting married every day, some are planning to get married, some are on a blind date, and some people seem to have no fate for marriage in this life.

In her previous life, Kou Yuanyuan, like Feng Yuanbin, belonged to the type of person who had not met fate and could not get married.

In this life, she was lucky enough to meet Zhao Feiran and get his love, so she hopes to be able to be with Zhao Feiran smoothly and live a lifetime.

She didn't want to wait so long like Bai Xiaomeng, didn't want to be so entangled like Mi Rou, didn't want to go through twists and turns like her mother, and didn't want to go through the test of life and death like Cheng Hongying.

She and Zhao Feiran just need to live together in a normal way and live a good life.

Whatever he wants to eat, she can make it for him!She was willing to accept his domineering rush to pay her the bill, to listen to his direct but sharp complaints, and to receive various gifts and surprises from him using the lottery as an excuse.

Kou Yuanyuan decisively sent another message to Zhao Feiran.

"What do you want to eat? I will definitely cook for you every day in the future!"

Zhao Feiran, who received Kou Yuanyuan's message, struggled for a long time before deleting the "ni" that had already been typed.

We have to wait a few days, really just wait a few days.

With the roar of firecrackers outside the window, it is finally the New Year.

This year, Kou Yuanyuan's family made dumplings while watching the New Year's party.

Kou Yuanyuan is in charge of rolling the skin, and the stuffing has been prepared long ago.Fang Shulan, Su Yongmin, and Su Jixiang had a small bowl of stuffed dumplings in front of them.

Fang Shulan also maintained her usual restrained style in making dumplings, and the dumplings she made looked very delicate.Uncle Su's palm is very big. When he squeezed both hands hard, a dumpling came out.So, he packed it quickly.

Among the three, Su Jixiang was the slowest to make the dumplings, but the dumplings were made decently.Jixiang seems to be used to making dumplings during the Spring Festival.Always see a wonderful show, stop for a while, and then continue to pack.

Occasionally, looking up, Jixiang noticed that Kou Yuanyuan was rolling the dumpling wrappers very quickly.Kou Yuanyuan rolled the leather alone for the three of them, and there was still a lot of money.Moreover, Kou Yuanyuan has been watching the Spring Festival Gala without taking her eyes off the TV, but the rolling pin in her hand has never stopped, and the dumpling wrappers rolled out are all "round" of the same size.

Unexpectedly, someone can make dumplings like this?Kou Yuanyuan's actions reminded Ji Xiang of the blindfolded flying swordsman.Moreover, Kou Yuanyuan is doing two things at once, isn't that amazing?
No wonder his father keeps saying that their Yuanyuan will be a chef in the future!

In this regard, Su Jixiang was a bit disapproving.He still felt that instead of choosing a chef as her career, Kou Yuanyuan might as well be a food show host like Fang's mother.

Su Jixiang's thoughts are actually the thoughts of the general public.He felt that cooking was the job of men, and that women were limited by their physiology and had little strength. They had to stand in front of the scorching stove and stir fry vegetables. Working 8 hours a day would definitely be unbearable.

During the military training at the university, the girls in their class used all kinds of excuses to ask for leave when they were training under the sun.Even tall and strong girls don't want to be tanned by the sun!
It's good now, she doesn't look strong at all, a group of childish girls actually want to be a chef as their lifelong ideal?

Thinking of this, Jixiang couldn't help sighing.He did not support his sister's ideal at all.But in this family, all three of them are passionate about cooking, and Jixiang is obviously an exception.

The parents didn't think it was wrong for the younger sister to be a chef and go to work in the old Lu's house.As an elder brother, of course Jixiang is not good at directly opposing Kou Yuanyuan's ideals.Therefore, Jixiang thought that he would slowly influence his sister's thoughts in the future.Girls at this age are actually not sure about sex.Yuanyuan probably hastily decided on her ideal because of her mother's ideal.

Jixiang thinks that the cute little sister with a sullen face really doesn't need to do such hard work, right?He will take good care of his sister in the future.

Soon the dumplings were made, and on the evening of the New Year's Eve, according to the usual practice, they had to stay up all night.

In the middle of the night, Kou Yuanyuan couldn't bear it anymore, so she said hello and went to bed first.As for what time the others went to bed, she didn't know too well.It's just that when he was having breakfast the next day, Jixiang's eyes turned red.Later, I heard from Uncle Su that Jixiang played games all night, saying that he wanted to regain the passion he had in high school.

In the next time, Kou Yuanyuan made up her mind to spend her last leisure time comfortably as a senior in high school.

After the Spring Festival, she will go to the "battlefield" again.In the past few days, she really didn't even want to touch the book.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Kou Yuanyuan put on an apron and cooked Yangchun noodles for the whole family for the first time.

Ever since Kou Yuanyuan started making bone soup and cooking lard with fatty pork, Su Jixiang couldn't help watching Kou Yuanyuan's movements through the glass.

This is the first time for Jixiang to know that vegetables can be cut like this?It is no exaggeration to say that Yuanyuan cuts vegetables better than her parents, right?

Look at Kou Yuanyuan in the kitchen, looking like a duck to water.When Kou Yuanyuan was cooking, she was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.Jixiang suddenly felt that the kitchen was like Yuanyuan's stage, on which Yuanyuan could also sing and dance to her heart's content.

Ji Xiang wanted to influence his sister's ideals, but suddenly got stuck like this.

Kou Yuanyuan walked out of the kitchen with the noodles on purpose, and performed stretching noodles in front of her parents, mother, and brother.In particular, she stretched and stretched and added some fancy moves.

Kou Yuanyuan was born in martial arts in her previous life. Although she has never practiced dancing in this life, she can stretch her noodles, turn around, lower her waist, and use noodles as ropes.

For the Chinese New Year, Kou Yuanyuan just wanted to win a lottery, and Bo's family would have fun.

Everyone has seen the noodle show, but Kou Yuanyuan has never seen the noodle show like this.

Su Yongmin was stunned when he saw it, and Fang Shulan didn't expect her daughter to be able to play such a trick.As for Su Jixiang, he originally wanted to brainwash his sister, but he hadn't acted yet. Instead, he was brainwashed by his sister's noodle stretching performance first.

Jixiang felt that Kou Yuanyuan was extremely dazzling when she was stretching the noodles, and she still had that relaxed smile on her face.

Ji Xiang always felt that Kou Yuanyuan stretched the noodles out of the style of dance music.His sister can definitely perform ramen dance on stage, and it would be even better if it is matched with his rock and roll.

Up to now, Ji Xiang never wants to tell his sister that women are not suitable to be chefs.

His younger sister is a natural chef at all, she needs strong wrists, skill and skills, superb knife skills, and creativity.The key is that she deeply loves the work of chef, just like Su Jixiang loves rock and roll.What right do others have to dictate her life ideals?

Jixiang feels that her younger sister's achievements in cooking will probably be much better than her parents' in the future.

When he had another taste of Yangchun noodles in clear soup made by Kou Yuanyuan, he immediately turned around and said to Kou Yuanyuan:

"Sister, if you open a noodle shop in the future, I will definitely invest in it for you. Our craftsmanship is sure to make a profit. If you sell a bowl for 30 yuan, there are people who are willing to eat it."

Kou Yuanyuan just kept laughing.

She didn't even expect that the Spring Festival dinner would make the family get to know each other better.However, Kou Yuanyuan feels good to have such family members who support her ideals.

At night, Kou Yuanyuan was about to wash up and go to bed, but Fang Shulan came to her room to chat with her, and even helped her tuck the quilt as if she was taking care of a child.

Just when Kou Yuanyuan closed her eyes and was about to go to sleep, Fang Shulan suddenly said to her in a low voice: "Yuanyuan, that tomorrow, our whole family will go to Grandpa Gu's house to celebrate the New Year together!"

After hearing this, Kou Yuanyuan suddenly sat up.

"What? Go to Grandpa Gu's house to pay New Year's greetings?" Doesn't that mean she is going to meet Zhao Feiran?
Fang Shulan sighed, and looked up at her daughter's excited eyes.She really didn't know how to tell Yuanyuan about this.Although she felt guilty, she couldn't say a word of apology.

"Yes, about you and Xiao Zhao, mother may have to have a good talk with Grandpa Gu."

"What about Brother Zhao and me? Talk about it? How do you want to talk about it?" Kou Yuanyuan stared at her mother with wide-eyed eyes.

"Just talk about the future between you and Xiao Zhao. So, mother wants to ask you one last time, Yuanyuan, do you really believe in Xiao Zhao, and want to spend the rest of your life with him in the future?"

Looking at Fang Shulan's concerned eyes, Kou Yuanyuan could no longer say any perfunctory words.

"Mom, I like him, I just like him! I am not afraid of his strange temper, his poisonous tongue, his domineering waywardness, and I am not afraid that he is a star. I just want to spend my whole life with him! I think if If it wasn't for him, I might be like Uncle Feng and never meet fate again. Because, I will never fall in love with others like I like him again!"

After listening to her daughter's words, Fang Shulan finally couldn't help her eyes turning red. "Yuanyuan, would you blame your mother?"

"No wonder, mom thinks for me too!" Kou Yuanyuan rested her head on her mother's shoulder.

Fang Shulan kept stroking Kou Yuanyuan's hair. "My daughter is so smart and wonderful, she will be very happy in the future."

"Well, Mom, I cook delicious food, Zhao Feiran likes to eat, if he makes me angry, I don't have to give him food."

Listening to Kou Yuanyuan's childish words, Fang Shulan finally couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, then mother knows. Yuanyuan, you go to bed first?" Fang Shulan told her daughter to lie down, then re-tucked her back, and turned off the lamp.

Just when Fang Shulan was about to leave, Kou Yuanyuan's hand suddenly stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed her mother's nightdress.

"Mom, does this mean that I can meet Zhao Feiran in the future!"

Fang Shulan turned around suddenly and looked at her fiercely. "No, don't think about anything before the college entrance examination."

"..." Kou Yuanyuan quickly retracted her hand and looked at Fang Shulan pitifully.

Fang Shulan turned around and left. When she reached the gate and turned off the lights, she couldn't help but say something. "When you finish your college entrance exams, mom won't care about you anymore. This time, mom will definitely have a good talk with Grandpa Gu."

"Oh."
