Chapter 541 Eat and drink enough to watch the fireworks! A limited-time snack on New Year’s Eve—fried dumplings!(2/3)
Unlike residential areas, there is no light pollution in the scenic area, and the surrounding area is pitch black. In this case, the effect of watching fireworks will be much better.
"So beautiful!"
Shen Jiayue didn't expect it to be so exciting from the beginning.
Dundun was just playing for fun. When the fireworks took off, the little guy subconsciously ran into Lin Xu's arms. But when the fireworks above his head lit up, he couldn't help but raise his round head and watch the fireworks show in the sky seriously.<

"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
A series of bright lights rose into the sky, and then exploded one after another.
Coconut trees bloomed in the sky immediately, followed by a flock of birds, and flowers of different shapes, which were dazzling to see.
For more than an hour, the fireworks in the scenic area did not stop. From the beginning to the end, everyone was in a state of shock.
I was shocked by the splendor of the fireworks and the advancement of technology, and at the same time lamented the upgrade and innovation of fireworks technology.
This is no longer even a technology, but an art.
"It's money well spent and it's really enjoyable."
Since fireworks were banned in the capital, Shen Guofu hasn't had much fun, but today he had a blast.
In this scenic spot where there are no tourists, the family happily looks at the gorgeous scenery, feeling indescribably comfortable and comfortable in their hearts.
Over in the capital, Chen Yan sat between Shu Yun and Dou Wenjing, gritting her teeth while watching the short video sent by Shen Jiayue:
"Next year's New Year's Eve, I want to go out and play, and I also want to set off fireworks!"
Shu Yun smiled and said:
"You can drive to the suburbs tomorrow to release the flying monkeys. I heard that the suburbs don't care much about it."
"That's so boring. If you want to play, play with something big, otherwise it will be like scratching an itch and not satisfying."
Putting away her phone, Chen Yan looked at Dou Wenjing and asked:
"Are uncle and aunt satisfied with the food here? Just tell us what you want to eat. The chefs are all here. If you can't do it, just make it. It's not a hassle."
Dou Wenjing smiled and said:
"My parents are a bit restrained and have never had a reunion dinner with so many people... By the way, let's make two bowls of sour soup dumplings later. My parents like to eat this."
"No problem!"
Shu Yunchong said to Zhu Yong:
"Master Zhu, go upstairs and cook two bowls of sour soup dumplings. Mr. Dou's parents like to eat sour soup dumplings."
Zhu Yong, who had just finished video chatting with Lu Lu, immediately agreed:
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
He stomped upstairs, and Dou Wenjing's father waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, it's troublesome..."
Zhuang Yizhou smiled:
"It's not troublesome. You two are elders, and we juniors should do what we do."
Soon, two large bowls of sour soup dumplings were brought over.
Dou Wenjing's parents each held a bowl and started eating dumplings, while the others continued to eat and chat. Although they were in a foreign country and could not go home for the New Year, having such a group of people with them made them feel less lonely.
Yinzhou, Longqishan Scenic Area.
After the fireworks show ended, the three old people burned the kang and went back to the house to rest.
They have a very regular schedule. Even if it is New Year's Eve today, they will not stay too long during their break time.
Lin Hongjun came to the restaurant, turned up the fire on the charcoal stove, and took several large gulps of cold tea. Then he looked at Shen Guofu and asked with a smile:
"The old people have gone to rest, why don't we have some more drinks?"
Shen Guofu reached out and grilled it on the charcoal stove:
"Drink something. After staying in the wind and snow for more than an hour, all the food I ate has been digested. I have to have two more cups to warm myself up."
After saying that, he brought over the remaining liquor.
The hot dishes on the table have been put away, but the cold dishes and braised food are still there.
He just said that he was going to come back for the second time, so Lin Xu didn't stop. Now seeing several elders asking for more liquor, Lin Xu asked:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Do you need to reheat the dishes?"
The elders repeatedly refused:
"No, no, no, these are enough."
"Yes, drinkers care about the wine rather than the food."
"This braised food and cold dishes are suitable for white wine, but hot dishes are not that interesting."
"Indeed, hot dishes are suitable for cold beer and the like, not liquor."
Not only do they like drinking, but they also have a lot of theories.
Lin Xu saw that he didn't need to do it himself, so he stopped participating. Instead, he sat in front of the charcoal stove and touched the sweet potatoes that were placed beside the stove while watching the fireworks.
When he found that it was baked through, he peeled off the skin and handed it to Shen Jiayue:
"Baby, try the roasted sweet potato."
Shen Jiayue didn't answer, but took a bite and then said:
"Xubao, I'm a little hungry too."
Although this girl ate a lot, after the meal she and Dundun played outside in the snow and watched the fireworks show for more than an hour, so she had already digested most of what she had eaten.
So when I saw Lao Shen and the others drinking, this girl also planned to eat some.
Lin Xu handed over the sweet potato:
"Can't we eat sweet potatoes?"
"Well...this is hard to digest, so forget it."
Lin Xu finished the remaining sweet potatoes, stood up and said:
"Then I'll go to the kitchen to see what's available and make something for you."
When he heard that food was being prepared, Chen Yuanyuan, who was grabbing red envelopes in the group, also got up and followed her.
When he came to the kitchen, Lin Xu saw the dumplings that had been cooked but not finished today in the cold dish cabinet, as well as a lot of hot dishes, but they were all cold by now.
"What to eat? Warm up the food or eat dumplings?"
Shen Jiayue looked at it and finally chose dumplings:
"Let's eat dumplings, Sister Yuanyuan, what do you want to eat?"
"Dumplings, I just made a couple of them and went to bed. After watching the fireworks for more than an hour, I missed countless red envelopes. I will have to climb up the stairs to click them one by one later."
Seeing that both of them chose dumplings, Lin Xu took out the remaining dumplings, placed the pan on the stove, and added a little cooked peanut oil to the bottom of the pan.
Then use chopsticks to place the cooled dumplings one by one.
Whether the leftover dumplings are boiled or steamed, their texture will deteriorate a lot and may even become mushy. The only option is to fry them.
Heat the dumplings by frying, and at the same time fry the soft outer layer of dumpling wrappers in hot oil until golden in color and crispy in texture.
Only dumplings like this can regain their new life.
"Ha, I thought of coming together. I was just craving for fried dumplings."
Shen Jiayue came over, listened to the sizzling sound in the pot, watched the dumplings gradually turn from white to brown, and her appetite was aroused.
I was just watching my dad and the others eat, and I was a little greedy.
But now, I am really hungry.
Don't be in a hurry when frying dumplings. Use low heat to fry the dumplings at full speed. Slowly brown one side of the dumplings, then turn it over and start frying the other side.
Fry the entire outer skin of the dumpling until it turns golden brown, and the delicious fried dumpling is ready.
Lin Xu put the pot of dumplings on a plate, handed them to Shen Jiayue and Chen Yuanyuan, and then started frying the next pot.
While they were busy, Han Shuzhen walked in and smelled the aroma of dumplings, which aroused her appetite. She picked up a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up a dumpling from Shen Jiayue's plate and tasted it:
"Well, they are fragrant and crispy. These dumplings are really delicious when fried."
Shen Jiayue said:
"It's indeed delicious, but it's a bit greasy after eating too much. Xu Bao, what do you think is more suitable for dipping it?"
