This is tantamount to driving away. Qu Cheng was a little hurt. He looked up with a tangled face, but saw the corner of Xu’s mouth laughing secretly.

“Let me help here. Three people can work faster.”

“No, this is the secret recipe of the Zhao family. I can only teach it to Cinian. I can’t let you cheat.” The old man put on his apron and made fun of him.

Qu Cheng was speechless. He could no longer find a reason to stay here. He waved to his daughter-in-law and walked out of the kitchen.

While cooking, Qu Cheng wandered around with his little guy in his arms. When he found that there was an open small window facing the kitchen stove, he deliberately walked around in front of him. Xu Cinian’s attention was taken away by him. Every time he saw Qu Cheng coming, he couldn’t help looking up. The two people didn’t talk, so they were tired of looking askew through the window.

When Uncle Zhong bowed his head, Qu Cheng would suddenly appear and squeeze his eyebrows at Xu Cinian. That meant: my massage chair money was wasted! The old man knows to interrupt me!

Xu Cinian couldn’t help laughing. Uncle Zhong, who was teaching, looked up seriously, “this is something your mother left you. Why are you laughing? This is disrespect for your mother and Zhao’s food. Do you know?”

“Oh… I was wrong, uncle Zhong.”

Xu Cinian put away his smile, pretended to nod, and while uncle Zhong wasn’t paying attention, he made a big bump at the window, which attracted Qu Cheng for a long time.

The little guy next to him followed him and asked in a low voice with his head askew, “what do you mean by being convex?”

Qu Cheng pressed his little paw and shook his head solemnly. “Don’t worry about the affairs of adults, close your eyes and eat sweets.”

After the sound of festive firecrackers, Xu Cinian came out with the last reunion dish.”Wow…It smells good!”

Wowo can’t wait to climb onto the small bench. With his small belly, he puts his head forward and aims at the table. His greedy saliva is about to fall off.

Qu Cheng and Luo Xiaomao nearby were scared when they saw this table of dishes. Ah, obediently… Is this a rhythm to support the dead?

Qu Cheng has become a big business tycoon. He has eaten all kinds of restaurants dishes. He still has to admire Xu Cinian’s good skills. The dishes on the table are already appetizing before he eats them.

In the most prominent position in the middle of the long table is a copper stove hotpot, which is boiling milky white mutton soup. There are several pieces of green chives floating on the soup surface. With a small spoon, a large piece of plump mutton is mixed with neatly cut heart tubes, shutters, sheep hoof tendons… It has been boiled for six hours without adding a drop of monosodium glutamate. Just sprinkle a little salt. It is delicious and mellow, Take a sip and your whole body will be warm.

With the copper stove as the center, there are chicken, duck, fish and meat, which are four necessary things for the new year, creating a new hall.

Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong and Hunan have four methods, which are spicy, salty, sweet and sour. Next to them are the six dishes of the “Zhao family banquet” I have seen in Y City before. It is dazzling.

The most special thing is the beef bone wild mushroom pot simmered in the alcohol stove. With the big beef bone with bone marrow, the pot boiled the flavor, and then put the matsutake, Flammulina velutipes, apricot abalone mushrooms… And other seven or eight kinds of wild mushrooms into the pot for fresh hanging. The beef bone soup was all absorbed, and the lettuce was used as the bottom. The crab roe and fish seeds were sprinkled on it.

The greedy man could not help but stretch out his hand to steal a piece, and rolled happily in Qu Cheng’s arms.

“At the end of the new year, please keep me. I don’t ask for anything. I just ask you to cook for me every day!”

Luoxiaomao and Xu Cinian lived under the same roof for several years. He thought that the food he had eaten before was Xu Cinian’s cooking level. Now he realized that he was just cooking ordinary meals and didn’t have the ability to look after the house at all.

Qu Cheng glanced at him and said to him: Comrade Luo Xiaomao, you can eat and talk indiscriminately. Be careful to transfer you to the public relations department next year, so that you can receive guests and die in Hao Ting.

Luoxiaomao shrunk his neck and withered in an instant. Qu Cheng smiled. “Cinian, you can do it. This skill is not only about opening a restaurant, but also about being a chef in a five-star hotel. Fortunately, I’m here today. Otherwise, I’m dead.”

Xu Cinian smiled and poured wine to several people. He did not forget to run on Qu Cheng. “That’s what uncle Zhong taught me. You are here to try the dishes today. Don’t think it’s for you to be a guest.”

“Uncle Zhong, thanks to you, I can open a restaurant. Today I’ll do it first.”As he said, he poured a cup of wine into his head and wiped his mouth forthrightly. Uncle Zhong nodded happily. He took the cup and took a full gulp.

“Good boy, uncle Zhong is happy for you. You are all good children. I am happy that I can have someone to accompany me for the new year at my age!”

Saying that the old man was so excited that he was about to cry, Luo Xiaomao hurried to say, “Oh, old man, what do you say about this during the new year? We are all a family. No matter how long we stay with you! We will stay with you forever until we are 100 years old!”

Xu Cinian then laughed, filled his glasses with wine and said, “that it, today is a good day for us to move to a new house, and it is also the beginning of the new year. If we are not drunk, we will not return! Happy New Year!”

“New year… Burp… Quick!”

Wowo got involved in it blindly. As a result, he ate too much secretly. He belched half of it, which made everyone laugh.

Outside the courtyard, he don’t know who set off fireworks. Brilliant fireworks rose in the sky. Colorful lights flashed in the dark night sky, reflecting everyone’s faces.

Qu Cheng couldn’t help laughing. He secretly held Xu’s hand and smiled at each other. At this moment, his eyes were burning.

This is the beginning of a new year, and it also symbolizes a new future.”Comrades, let’s eat!” Luo Xiaomao stared at the table with chopsticks and was eager to try.

Wowo was already happy to jump up on Qu Cheng’s lap, “eat rice dumplings and round rice!”

The Spring Festival Gala in the TV has began. After the passionate opening remarks, the joyful music sounded. At the command of Uncle Zhong, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started.

At this time, the door suddenly rang, and Qu Cheng frowned, “we are all reunited at this time. Who will come at this time?”

Xu Cinian stood up and seemed to have guessed who was coming. He opened his mouth and smiled playfully at him. He put down his chopsticks and ran to open the door.

The brownish red door was opened. A group of people stood at the door, carrying colorful gifts. Some people were also carrying bundles of firecrackers and fireworks. At the moment of opening the door, all the people led by Ah Si shouted, “Brother Cheng, we are coming!”

“Happy new year, sister-in-law’s little guy!”

Luo Xiaomao’s mouth widened in surprise. Uncle Zhong’s chopsticks fell on the table with a slap and a confused look. “What’s the situation with them? Sister-in-law… Who is it?”

As soon as Qu Cheng felt numb, he immediately had a bad feeling and stood up, “Why are you here?”

“They are my guests.” Xu Cinian winked at him, Qu Cheng suddenly felt pain again, he is tired of having three light bulbs to celebrate the new year together. What are these annoying grandchildren doing here!?

Ah Si held back his smile and waved his hand in spite of Qu Cheng’s tangled face. “Brother Cheng, I heard that brother Xu’s new restaurant is about to open, and it’s the Chinese New Year. We specially prepared gifts. Brother Cheng, brother Xu, don’t hate it. Let’s sing!”

“Every street, every person’s mouth, the first sentence when they meet is congratulations, Congratulations, Congratulations, Congratulations, congratulations…”

(Chines New Year song, you can search in YouTube “gong xi gong xi”)

Dozens of strong men were blocking the door and singing together. Few of them were in tune, but all of them were singing at the top of their voices. Over and over again, no one was willing to stop.

People like them dare not go home for the new year. They have not been reunited with their families for many years. They almost forget what it is like to celebrate the new year.

However, Xu Cinian is willing to take them to his own home, let all his brothers spend the new year with Qu Cheng, and tell them that this is home.

This is Qu Cheng’s home, as well as Xu’s home.

Qu Cheng couldn’t help laughing. His nose was a little sour.
