In the blink of an eye, the lingering cold wind swept the major festival of the Spring Festival, whizzing.

This Spring Festival, the Duke of Halls' family also came from afar from the UK to experience the Chinese Spring Festival atmosphere in Xu's family.

It was originally Justin and his girlfriend who came here, but the Duchess of Hols also missed her grandson, knowing that her son was coming, and wanted to come to China to play with her, and then infected one by one, and finally the whole family dragged the family and chartered the plane and came over. Fortunately, the Xu family has enough houses, otherwise the fortress will go to the hotel.

They are obviously more interested in the classic ancient villa of the Xu family than the hotel.

It's just that so many people gather together, and the Xu family is completely occupied now, and there is no empty room.

On the morning of the 30th of the new year, Xu Ning used to take the second elder of the Jiang family here, and Xie Zheng and Xu Rui had already helped in the kitchen.

After entering the door, Gao Xiulan carried the things she had brought to the kitchen, while Mr. Jiang went to the living room to chat with Old Uncle Yao. Their established entertainment for their thirties was to play chess, whether chess or go.

The Duke of Halls knew about Chinese Go, but he didn’t know anything about it. He just sat next to him and looked at the two old men. I fell back and forth on the densely packed small square chessboard. Knowing what it means to fall here, I want to ask, but the language is not clear. The two old men can hardly know anything except simple greetings, especially when the Duke of Halls speaks a lot of English, two The expression of the old man was the same as that of the Duke of Halls looking at the chessboard, dumbfounded!

Upon seeing this, Xie Yang stepped forward to help both parties translate. This time, the communication will be smooth.

The duchess was sitting with Qin Xuejuan. They chatted and coaxed Ian in front of them. Although the two mothers in-laws rarely meet, they often use computer video to communicate with each other and talk about interesting events and feelings at home. very nice.

In the kitchen, Xu Ning came back to take over, drove Xie Zheng and Xu Rui out, and accompanied the three of the Hols family to chat. She and Joey were busy in the kitchen. Naturally, the old lady didn’t use them to help, after all. Even though you are healthy when you are older, you have to pay attention to it.

"Sister, I like this dish." Joey handed the plate to Xu Ning. "Xu Rui's cooking is also very delicious."

At this time, the pot was just made, spicy chicken feet, chicken feet are the chickens raised in the space, because there are many people in the family, this time she directly slaughtered more than 30 chickens. Many people who knew each other gave away a lot, and only seven or eight were left at home.

When Joey first settled in China, he was actually resistant to many dishes, such as chicken feet, such as animal offal. However, after living here for several years, he ate almost everything. Before, he was extremely resistant to chicken feet. Joey, Xu Rui coaxed one to eat, and then fell in love.

"My parents might not like it." Joey said with a grin. "But it's okay. I can eat more."

Xu Ning handed the two plates of chicken feet to Joey, and she put the cooked food in the incubator, "I will set aside a few separately for you later. If it is not enough, let Xu Rui go to the market and buy some back. Let's continue. Do."

"Thank you sister!"

Because the Duke of Halls's family came, Xu Ning naturally had to prepare some meals that they would not resist.

It's not that you think it tastes good, others have the same taste as you.

For example, Brother Zheng also likes to eat frogs, and he told Xu Ning that it tastes good, but no matter how good it tastes, she definitely doesn't touch it in one bite.

Another time, Brother Zheng took her to a special restaurant in the Imperial Capital. One of the dishes was snake soup, let alone eat it. Seeing the snake meat inside, her stomach kept rolling.

Xu Ning still cooks a lot of dishes. After all, when the child was young, she also worked a lot to make the three of them eat well.

When I was studying abroad, I lived on my own for a few years. I didn’t like the eating habits of foreign countries. I also made my own meals. If I cook a lot, I have a little talent. More and more.

Today at noon, there are dozens of people in the family. No 20 or 30 dishes are definitely not enough. Fortunately, the table in the old house is a long table. There are enough adults sitting down at home, and the children set up another table.

After waiting for two days, Qin Zhao and Qin Xiang will come over, and it will be even more lively at that time.

Joey doesn’t know much about Chinese cuisine. She didn’t help much with today’s dishes, but she helped Xu Ning in the kitchen. After the dishes were done, Xu Ning would give her a chopstick to taste, more than 20 dishes. When the dishes came down, she also felt that she was half full.

"Okay, let's greet everyone to start eating."

Joey put down the spoon in his hand and went to the living room.

"It's going to start!" she said to everyone.

Upon hearing the meal, everyone present lined up to go to the bathroom, while Xie Yang took the children sitting in the living room.

Xie Zheng and Xu Rui helped to serve dishes in the kitchen. Plates of dishes were brought in, and the aroma quickly dissipated in the living room. Occasionally, someone's stomach was still gurgling.

It is not the first time for the Duke of Halls’ family to eat Chinese cuisine. When Xu Rui got married, they also ate here for several days. The cuisine is actually common and there is no geographical restriction. Chinese cuisine is one of the best. The ancient civilization of China has many cultures and traditions handed down. Gourmet culture is one of them. From the very beginning, the ordinary diet has gradually evolved into today’s eight major cuisines. Each cuisine has a solid foundation and continues to continue. Innovate the old and bring forth the new.

Nowadays, facing a large table full of food, and all of them are from Xu Ning's hands, everyone is welcome to chopsticks.

As purely British, the Duke of Halls family has no idea about chopsticks. When Xu Rui got married three years ago, they came here and used chopsticks enthusiastically at first, but the results were terrible.

This time the Duke of Halls seemed very sure and asked for a pair of chopsticks.

Not to mention, there is indeed such a style.

"How is it?" said the Duke of Halls proudly, "isn't it amazing?"

"Yes."

Adults are not as lively as children. Xie Yang, as an elder brother, has foreign guests coming over, so he naturally has to help take care of it.

At this time, Ian sat obediently next to her sister Lemon, waiting for her sister to feed him. He is still young and it is very hard to eat alone. After all, he is just one and a half years old, not to mention the chopsticks and spoons. Feeding on the side, it is estimated that a meal will be eaten.

"Sister, Rourou!" Ian pointed to a plate of fish ball soup on the table.

Little Lemon made two fish **** for him, and put them to the little guy's mouth with a spoon, "Eat slowly, don't worry."

"Hmm!" The little guy nodded, opened his mouth, biting halfway, and eating more cheerfully.

"Sister eat, you eat."

Little Lemon rubbed the little guy's head favorably, "Don't worry, Ian, would you like water?"

The cute little baby pointed at the cup in front of Xie Huai, which was filled with juice.

He is still young and the juice is cold. Xie Yang poured a cup of hot orange juice from the glass thermos next to Ian.

"Drink this."

The few guests of the Halls family were also not polite, just because they came here, the elders of the Xu family and Joey all said that they were their own homes, don’t be polite.

They don't have so many twists and turns, so naturally they can let go here.

In addition, several children are very familiar with Xie Yang's three brothers and sisters, and they can all talk. It is natural to have a lot of topics together, and they will not feel polite.

They liked most of the food in front of them, but the rules were very good when they ate, and there would never be any uncomfortable behavior.

For seafood, children will not resist, the oyster eggs are delicious and rich, and the fried shrimp **** are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

There was also the meaty Sixi meatballs, which were distributed by everyone as soon as they were served. Xie Yang went to the kitchen again and brought out a plate.

Children eat almost the same amount of food as adults. After all, at noon on New Year’s Eve, adults will gather together and drink alcohol. The children only eat vegetables and drink juice.

Everyone knows that if people drink too much wine, they eat less food.

And even a very simple radish mixed with sugar on the dinner table has become the children’s favorite, especially after eating it will leave a layer of clear soup on the bottom of the plate, sweet and nourishing with the radish oozes. The bitter taste came out, the taste was unique, and it was directly drunk.

This water radish is very easy to make, just rub the water radish into filaments, sprinkle with sugar and stir. It is very simple.

Clear and crisp!

After eating a lot of big fish and meat, and occasionally eating two mouthfuls of shredded radish, the greasy feeling in the mouth disappeared.

After Ian was fed by Little Lemon, he went to find his father.

Little Lemon only then began to concentrate on lunch.

Not long after Xu Rui had just moved his chopsticks, he was drinking and chatting with the three elder brothers, and he saw his son running towards him staggeringly like a duckling.

"Father, full!"

He put his son on his lap and sat down, "I'm full so soon?"

"Hmm, sister, hello!" Ian can talk now, but most of them are repetitive words. Normal children who can speak neatly at about three years old are already very good.

After sitting obediently on Dad's lap for less than two minutes, Ian crawled down again and was about to go outside.

Upon seeing this, Joey grabbed his son’s clothes and put them on for him, and then led him to the hand-shoveling veranda outside the living room. He bent over and said to the soothing Hui Hui who was closing his eyes on the large cushion: "Hui Hui, it takes hard work. you."

Huihui's ears trembled twice, then opened his eyes and opened his mouth and yawned, then whispered "Wow" at Joey and got up and stood beside Ian.

Joey went back to the living room with confidence to continue eating.

Ian is a child, and he wears very thick clothes. Although the wind is relatively strong today, the roaming veranda of Xu's house has nine twists and eighteen bends, but it blocks most of the wind, and there is still warm winter sun above his head. It's very cold.

He put a small hand on Grey's body and wandered in the courtyard.

At home, the children quickly finished their meal and all followed.

"Hui Hui, Doudou, have lunch." Xie Yang went to the kitchen and brought out the lunch prepared for the two dogs, and put it in the dog basin beside the soft cushion where Huihui and Doudou were lying.

Doudou didn't know where the "barking" sound was made, and quickly ran over, seeing the large fleshy bones in the dog basin, and his expression became excited at the first sight.

Huihui whimpered several times at Ian next to him, brought Ian back, handed it over to Xie Yang, and then went to eat his own.

The two dogs gathered for a meal, and Xie Yang saw that they were not afraid of the cold, and strolled along the porch to digest.

When making dumplings in the afternoon, several women from the Hols family followed in to help in the kitchen. Because of the large number of people, the dumplings had to be made in a large amount, otherwise it would not be enough.

Eating hot pot at night has been a custom in the Xu family in recent years. As for the Hols family to wait until midnight to eat dumplings at night, the Hols family has no objection. Of course they understand this truth. After dinner, go back to the room and rest for a while. The old man and the old lady of the two families, Xu Jianjun and his wife, and the Duke of Halls have all rested in the afternoon.

After Xie Zheng and Xu Ning had dinner, they cleaned up all the tableware in the kitchen before sitting down and continuing to make dumplings.

As for the rest of the family, they went to the square in front of the Forbidden City to watch the fireworks. The three hours of fireworks from eight o'clock in the evening to eleven o'clock, children like to watch.

As for the Spring Festival Gala, it will be rebroadcasted around the clock in the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Spring Festival Gala in recent years is not very interesting. Many people will not stay in front of the TV. Of course, even if they go out, the TV at home will be turned on.

Chinese New Year is all about eating, drinking and having fun!

"How much do you have to do?" Xie Zheng has a very high skill in making dumpling wrappers, and he has been tempered over the years.

"This piece of dough has been used up. I have already made a lot of it this afternoon."

Although it is Chinese New Year, it is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun, but Xu Ning is always the busiest during the Spring Festival.

It is not until the relatives and friends who come to pay a New Year's greetings leave in the first month to relax, but then the company will get busy.

"I said before that I would go to the Spring Festival Gala live this year. It seems that I can only wait until next year."

At first, I didn’t know that the Hols family was coming to China to celebrate the Spring Festival. I wanted to take the three children to see the scene. In the twelfth lunar month, I learned that the Hols family was coming. Only Xu Rui could cook at home and his mother would cook. The craftsmanship is still the same, as ordinary as a day for decades, the old lady is too old, naturally can't let the two of them work in the kitchen, Xu Ning can only give it up.

"Every year, you can go again next year."

The two were busy in the kitchen until ten o'clock before returning to the living room to rest.

At this time, the two old ladies were also watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. On the TV, Zhang Xiaomin and a male host were leading the next show.

"Oh, I'm here at the right time. Chinese opera singing together. I like this show." Xu Ning poured himself a cup of hot tea and sat on the solo sofa waiting for the next step.

Soon, a young girl appeared on the stage, who seemed to be only seven or eight years old.

The little girl sang an excerpt from Yuji in Farewell My Concubine, which was vivid and jerky, but it made people happy to look at it.

Later, there were Xiao Bao Zheng in the Huamei case, and Xiao Yang Zirong in the outsourcing Tiger Mountain, both of which were sung by small opera artists who were less than ten years old.

These are all the new generation forces of the quintessence of the future!

Once crossing the farm girl, the father and the mother are weak and the grandmother is evil.

Ji Wan recognized.

Anyhow, girl, I'm a professor of Chinese medicine, and I'm good at cooking, so I won't starve to death.

Collecting Ganoderma lucidum, selling ginseng, harvesting mountain products, building houses, saving lives and healing the wounded, life is prosperous. But accidentally, he was entangled by an evildoer.

"Saving grace is nothing in retribution, only the body promises."

Ji Wan rolled his eyes, "I saved your life, and you have to rely on me for the rest of your life. This is called Pengci, you understand!"

"What is Porcelain?"

"It's just that the spirit of enmity will avenge the wolf's heart and soul..."

"As a doctor, in the spirit of suspending the pot to help the world, the girl should accept me, a person who has nowhere to stand."

"..."

Ji Wan looked at someone’s face of harming the country and the people, and said with sorrow: "The Buddha said: If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell? If you are evil to harm others again, I will be wronged and accept you."
