551. Into Tu Su
The time in the capital of China is eight hours earlier than Iceland, which means that the country has to celebrate the Spring Festival on New Year's Eve. It is bright and it is noon.
Although it is not traditional to celebrate New Year's Eve in broad daylight, fortunately the two meals can overlap: when eating New Year's Eve dinner in China, Iceland is having lunch here.
Chen Song also made a lot of preparations to welcome the New Year’s Eve dinner. For example, he specially spent money to buy Iceland’s foreign language channel, which is the only TV station in Iceland that can broadcast the Spring Festival Gala live.
When the Spring Festival overture rang, a burst of cheers rang out in the living room of the manor: "It's the New Year!" "Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" "Everything goes well in the new year, and family reunion."
Because there were too many people coming to the manor, Chen Song had to change the meal from the restaurant to the living room. His living room area was 200 square meters, and there were also the tables transferred from the restaurant. The original dining tables of the manor No. 1 and No. 3 were placed, so that everyone would be accommodated.
Luo Qiulian and Chen Daren are busy making authentic Chinese food in the kitchen, but the chef is Mao Wenhui, the boss of the Chinese Mutual Aid Committee, and a famous chef who is extremely good at southwestern cuisine.
They started preparing this meal before dawn and were finally able to stop working all morning.
Originally, many dishes had to be eaten while they were hot, but Chen Song gathered more than 60 people. Even if he wanted to feed 60 pigs, it would take a lot of time and effort, let alone more than 60 people?
Therefore, Mao Wenhui mainly prepared some distinctive cold dishes, and he made some home-cooked dishes, all of which were commonly eaten in various regions.
The dishes of this meal are made of Chinese and Western cuisine, and the Western cuisine was ordered by Chen Song from the restaurant in the town. This is fast and has a variety of colors, fragrance and flavor.
Goblin and others were there for the Spring Festival, and they were arranged by Chen Song to be waiters.
Chen Song helped serve the dishes, and Jing Wei rushed into the kitchen and said, "Okay, is the dish not finished yet? Sit down quickly, everyone is waiting for you to start the meal."
"Of course I haven't finished serving, this dish is not enough." Chen Song sighed. Unfortunately, Luo Bingxin returned to China for the New Year, and she was very skilled. If she asked her to cooperate with Mao Wenhui to cook, she would definitely add more dishes.
Jing Wei pulled him and said, "Let's go, eat and eat. Who can't help but eat? It's mainly the atmosphere and the environment, hurry up."
Chen Song said: "Okay, okay, don't worry. Take this Mapo tofu on one table and two servings. Brother Hui said that this is his specialty dish. It is probably not enough to eat one plate. Two plates were made on each table."
Jing Wei said to Mao Wenhui: "Brother Hui is open and bright, let's go, Brother Hui, hurry up and serve."
Mao Wenhui wiped his hands with a towel and smiled, "Let's go here and walk."
Chen Song put down the last dish, and several people applauded and whistled at him: "Old Chen, come on."
Seeing his son doing so well among his compatriots, Luo Qiulian was so happy that she couldn't help but wipe her tears: "I used to worry that my son would be bullied abroad, but I was worried that he would bully others."
Chen Song raised a glass of wine and said, "Those brothers, sisters, today is the New Year and the Spring Festival, right? On a great day, I will send my blessings to everyone. I will be healthy, have all my wishes come true, have success in my career, have a good son, and have a good son in my relationship, and have a good grade on my studies. Why did I do it?"
"I have done it, I have to do it!"
"I'm allergic to alcohol when I step on the horse, but I'm willing to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. I'll do it first!"
"Hello, New Year, friends and relatives, hello, you guys, I've done it!"
The drifting dishes are in the air, and the glasses are filled with endless smiles.
There are many people and it is really lively, and I can hold on to the time. Chen Song’s family used to have three people during the Chinese New Year, and they could eat at most half an hour for a meal, but today they have been eating from "The Overture of the Spring Festival" to "Unforgettable Tonight".
During this period, when the New Year was approaching in the motherland, chimes were ringing in the town. Unfortunately, chimes were not the 100-ton bell of Hanshan Temple. They were not loud and could not be heard from the manor.
However, Liuying Town held a very successful Spring Festival event, attracting most Chinese in Iceland and also showed off on TV. The New Year greeting video recorded by the Iceland Prime Minister yesterday was released in the afternoon.
The old immigrants have suffered more or less in Iceland. Everyone gathered together to drink, chat and make a big noise. When they saw a head of state say hello to them, some people burst into tears.
When the host of the Spring Festival Gala finally said, "Friends, CCTV Spring Festival Gala will end here, see you next year." Most people's eyes were wet.
Some people were also stubborn and cursed with alcohol: "This is how Margobi spent a lot of money on the Spring Festival Gala? Will you see you next year? Are you not to see you next year!"
At this time, the show is about to end. Most of the people are drunk. They have good wine and sleep on the table. They sleep under the table. They almost pull the people around them and chatter. The poor wine and they are already fighting against the sky and earth.
Mao Wenhui didn't drink, so he kept sober, so after watching the Spring Festival Gala, he went to cook a pot of sober soup.
After drinking sobering soup, Chen Song sent all the drunken food to his room, and some people who had to drink went to the town bar together.
When Chen Song led people to clean up the living room, it was already dark.
He looked at the time and said, "It's time to have supper again, right?"
Gobl covered his stomach and said, "Eat later, boss, I've eaten too much at noon."
Brother Bai was lying on the ground, staring at the roof with his eyes staring straight, its belly swelling like a blow-off, and Bruce had to find a digestive tablet for it to eat.
Tong Youwei's old father smiled and said, "To put it this point, should we prepare to set off firecrackers and greet New Year's greetings?"
Chen Song said: "We won't do our business according to the time in China. Let's get up tomorrow before setting off firecrackers."
Tong's father smiled and said, "Then let's drink some more together? This time we will drink the Tusu wine I brought."
There were too many people coming to the manor, and Chen Song didn't take out Tu Su wine, otherwise one cup would not be enough for each person.
After listening to Tong’s father’s advice, Chen Song said: “This is OK.”
Tong's father said: "According to traditional customs, this Tusu wine should be cut into some medicinal materials today, such as Shu pepper, aconite, and Platycodon, then wrap it in a sandbag and sink it into the well, and then take out the medicine bag to cook the wine tomorrow. Of course, we don't have to be so particular, just boil it directly."
Their family is doing a wine business and knows a lot about various wine cultures. So this time, in addition to bringing Tusu wine, he also brought matching medicinal materials. Chen Song found a pottery jar and started cooking.
Tusu wine is brown and turbid. After cooking, Tong's father taught Chen Song to take some peppercorns into the plate and said, "This is called a pepper plate. The ancients believed that peppercorns had a warm aroma and were very precious spices. In addition, you see that peppercorns have a lot of seeds, so drinking Tusu wine with it can pray for the prosperity of the family."
“So much attention?”
