Chapter 541 Crossing Thousands of Miles Just to Celebrate the New Year with My Daughter! Zeng Xiaoqi’s New Year’s Eve Was so Sad! 【Please Subscribe】

“This hump tastes so bad!”

Not everyone is used to eating camel humps. Chen Shaokang picked up a piece of lightly roasted hump meat and ate it into his mouth, and immediately showed a painful expression.

The inside of the hump is full of tendons, making it difficult to chew. At the same time, the gaps in the fascia are full of milk-flavored grease.

This kind of taste and texture will make those who like it unable to stop eating, while those who don't like it will not be able to swallow it at all.

Lin Xu picked up a piece and tasted it. He couldn't say he liked the texture and taste, nor did he dislike it. It just felt like eating beef tendon full of grease.

The aroma of oil combined with the chewy texture makes it quite delicious.

Relatively speaking, Shen Guofu couldn't stop eating. He liked greasy dishes, and as an alcoholic, he especially liked the chewy feeling.

The delicious taste of camel hump perfectly meets his requirements for delicious food.

Several elderly people felt that the roasted hump was chewy, but the steamed hump tasted very good.

Because it has been steamed for long enough, the fascia of the camel hump is not so chewy, and the abalone juice poured on the surface has a strong aroma, which completely suppresses the milky taste of the camel hump, so it tastes good.

As for the dry-fried ones, the outer layer of whole egg batter is relatively crispy, and the camel hump meat inside is full of milky aroma and chewy texture. It is considered to have the strongest camel hump flavor.

Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Jiayue liked it very much and couldn't stop eating.

Chen Meide picked up a piece of hump and said to Chen Shaokang:

"This hump is a good thing. It used to be as famous as bear paws, but now bear paws can't be eaten, so we can only rely on the hump to satisfy our cravings."

In fact, wild camels are nationally protected animals and are not allowed to be slaughtered.

However, with the popularity of artificial breeding, camel humps are no longer a rare thing. You can buy a whole hump for a few hundred yuan, which is not expensive.

After tasting the hump, Lin Xu took a spoon and filled himself half a bowl of braised silver carp head.

For those who like to eat fish heads but hate fish bones, this dish will never get tired of eating. Just eat it directly with a spoon. There are no bones or fish bones, and the full gelatin is really comfortable.

Chen Meijuan served half a bowl of fish head to each of the three old people, and then said to her eldest aunt, second aunt, and Han Shuzhen:

"Xiao Xu said that the fish head should be eaten while it's hot, so take a bowl to serve it. It's full of collagen, and eating it is good for your skin."

Aunt Qi Xiangzhi was eating carp baked noodles. When she heard this, she took the bowl and filled herself most of the bowl with a male spoon.

There's nothing unusual about fish heads. I'm tired of eating fish heads with chopped pepper in restaurants in scenic spots.

But if you want to say that supplementing collagen is good for the skin, then you have to say that you must eat more.

Shen Jiayue picked up a piece of rock sugar elbow and put it into her mouth. The glue-like sweet marinade paired with the soft skin of the elbow was really delicious.

After eating the sweet elbow skin, the aftertaste will be a little salty.

However, it is this bit of saltiness that has become the soul of the whole dish. It not only serves as the finishing touch, but also dilutes the greasiness caused by the sweetness, making people want to have another piece, or even eat the whole one. Elbow.

If it weren't for the salty aftertaste, I would probably be too tired to eat two pieces.

This is the combination of tastes in dishes and the charm of Chinese cooking.

Shen Guofu said:

"Xiao Xu, please make a grilled whole pig head someday and let your uncles and uncles try it. This is also a super classic dish and very delicious."

Not only Chen Meili, Chen Meiliang and Lin Hongjun have not eaten the roasted whole pig head made by Lin Xu, but also Lin Hongqi has not eaten it. Only Chen Meijuan, who went to help renovate the ginkgo garden, has eaten it.

Now that this dish is mentioned, everyone naturally becomes curious.

Lin Xu said:

"Let's wait until the second day of the new year to make it. On that day, my eldest aunt and my second aunt's family will come to visit relatives. I will make two pig heads for everyone to try."

Shen Jiayue picked up a steamed oyster, took out the meat, dipped it in the sauce and put it in her mouth, and then asked curiously:

"Is it as delicious as last time?"

Lin Xu smiled:

“It tastes better than last time.”

The last time he grilled a whole pig's head, Lin Xu made an excellent dish.

When I try it again this time, I naturally want to redeem the perfect-level recipe and feel the difference between the perfect-level grilled whole pig head and the excellent-level one.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue picked up her phone and sent a message to the group:

"Hoho, on the second day of the second grade of junior high school, we are going to eat grilled whole pig heads at home. It's more delicious than last time. Do some of you want to try it?"

At this time, Linji Food was busy.

The New Year's Eve dinner has been sold out, both the private rooms and the banquet hall have been booked. At this moment, the kitchen is preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the private room.

In the lobby on the first floor, there were also many migrant workers who stayed in the capital for the New Year due to work and other reasons.

Since Linji Food sent out an invitation to have New Year's Eve dinner together a few days ago, it has received positive responses from many people. Therefore, before it gets dark, people who are planning to have New Year's Eve dinner come to the store for fear of losing their place.

Dou Wenjing looked at Shu Yun and asked:

"How are the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner on the first floor?"

"The kitchen has been arranged, the dishes are large and there are many styles, so everyone can eat and drink well."

Xiao Dong on the side asked:

“What if someone gets drunk and causes trouble?”

Shu Yun smiled helplessly:

"Then drive them out, Tiantian...Tiantian and Wei Qian have gone back to celebrate the New Year. Master Xu will finish his work later and let the people from the braised food department greet them downstairs."

When Song Tiantian was here, she didn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all, she could invite people out by herself.

But if Song Tiantian is away, Xu Xinhua and the people in the braised food department will have to worry.

Fortunately, they also have a family reunion dinner on the first floor, and when they sent out the invitation, they had already stated that drinking alcohol was not allowed, so there was no need to worry too much.

Dou Wenjing said:

"Try not to drink liquor, and don't allow anyone to persuade you to drink. The purpose of coming here is for people who are strangers in a foreign land to have a lively New Year's Eve dinner together. This is not a place for people to indulge in wine-table culture."

Shu Yun nodded:

"I understand... By the way, are your parents really not nagging you if you don't go home?"

Dou Wen laughed quietly:

"I said I was on duty and couldn't leave. What about you? What did you say?"

"I'm working as usual, and I'll go back when Tiantian comes back. I heard that no one cares about setting off firecrackers in my hometown, so I plan to buy a bunch of Sky Monkeys to have fun..."

Hearing Shu Yun's words, Dou Wenjing rolled her eyes helplessly:

"That's all you pursue, right?"

Just as she was talking, she saw a taxi slowly parked in front of the store and said with a smile:

"Hey, do you still want to take a taxi to eat? I heard that taxis don't use meters anymore today. The starting price is super expensive. The subway is so empty and there are so many subway rides..."

She wanted to say how convenient it was to take the subway, but she was stunned before she could say the word "convenient".

Because the people who got off the car were none other than his parents.

The old couple had never been to a big city. After getting off the car, their eyes looked panicked. They repeatedly confirmed their destination with the driver in Mandarin, which they were not very proficient in, and then took out large and small bags of luggage from the trunk.

Shu Yun was checking the information of the customers who reserved the table with his head lowered. After hearing Dou Wenjing's words, he glanced outside and saw the large and small bags of luggage. He was stunned for a moment curiously:

"immigrant?"

Dou Wenjing, who couldn't believe her eyes, finally reacted, with a tremor in her voice:

"Those are my parents...they came to spend the New Year with me..."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed out, his eyes filled with tears from unknown time.

Pushing the door open and going outside, the two people outside were still holding their mobile phones to confirm whether this Linji Food Restaurant was the place where their daughter worked.

If you are deceived by a taxi driver, you won't be able to make it in time for the New Year's Eve dinner with your daughter.

When Dou Wenjing rushed out of the store, the old couple who were debating whether to go in and ask were stunned for a moment and rubbed their eyes in disbelief:

"Jingjing, it's really quiet."

Dou Wenjing rushed over:

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

She was full of regrets. She had known she would have gone back on the day of the holiday. If she urged her to get married, she would urge her to get married. If she wanted to go on a blind date, it would be nothing compared to the twists and turns of her parents' journey to the capital.

The old couple had never traveled far in their lives.

It's hard to imagine how they found their way to the capital.

From the village to the town, from the town to the county seat, from the county seat to the city, and then take a long-distance bus to the next city, where there are high-speed rail and trains to the capital...

Not to mention that they have never traveled far, even for people who often travel all over the country, if they want to go all the way to the capital during the busiest period of Spring Festival, it is comparable to traveling to the west to learn from it.

Dou Wenjing’s mother said:

"If you don't go home, it won't be interesting for your father and I to spend the New Year at home, so we decided to come to the capital to see you. Xiao Lin said that you became a big manager and managed hundreds of people. My daughter is really promising..."

Dou Wenjing burst into tears and felt very guilty.

She said:

"Did you suffer a lot on the way here?"

Her father smiled honestly:

"No, I haven't endured hardships. I met all the good people along the way. When I heard that we were going to the capital to see our daughter, the young people on the road gave up their seats and helped us carry our luggage. We bought the wrong high-speed rail tickets and even helped us carry them. The ticket was exchanged..."

After saying that, the old man with a vicissitudes of life opened his luggage bag and took out a bagful of food:

"This is your favorite steamer cake, this is yellow rice noodle sticky cake, this is jujube steamed bun..."

Dou Wenjing's tears flowed out again.

Just reversing the car back and forth along the way is enough to give people a headache. Unexpectedly, my parents also brought their favorite hometown delicacies with them along the way.

"Mr. Dou, you should be happy that your uncle and aunt are here. Why are you crying? It's so cold outside, come in quickly..."

Shu Yun pushed the door open and came out. Seeing Dou Wenjing's face bursting with tears, he quickly picked up his luggage and called his uncle and aunt into the store to rest.

The weather forecast says there will be snow tonight. Although it hasn't fallen yet, the sky is overcast and the northwest wind is getting colder. It's better to get in quickly.

Dou Wenjing finally came to her senses, held her parents' hands and said:

"Dad, Mom, let's go in. There is a New Year's Eve dinner in the store tonight. Let's eat together. It just so happens that you can also try the delicious food in our store."

When Father Dou heard this, his eyebrows were filled with smiles:

"We all ate those roast chickens and stuff you sent home. They tasted really good. We've never tasted such delicious braised food."

Entering the store, the old couple looked around. Xiao Dong brought a pot of high-end Biluochun and some snacks, and said enthusiastically:

"Welcome, uncle and aunt, come and drink some hot tea first. The New Year's Eve dinner will begin in a moment. If you two are hungry, you can have some snacks first. They are the signatures of our store."

"Thanks……"

"Don't say thank you. As juniors, we are supposed to serve you tea and water. Normally Mr. Dou is very kind to us. Seeing you now is like meeting your own parents."

As a reserve cadre in the store, Xiao Dong is Shu Yun's key training target, and his treatment of others is becoming more and more like a spring breeze.

When she opens a branch later, she will most likely be the front desk manager.

Other waiters, several head chefs in the kitchen, and Xu Xinhua from the Braised Food Department heard that Dou Wenjing's parents were coming to the capital for the New Year, and they also came over to say hello.

This is not only because Dou Wenjing is the general manager of the company, but most importantly, her parents traveled nearly two thousand miles to the capital to spend the New Year with their daughter, which touched everyone.

Dou Wenjing took the yellow rice and jujube cake made by the kitchen and handed it to her parents who were still a little uncomfortable with it:

"You must not have eaten much on the road, right? Try it. This is my favorite snack in the store. I eat several of them every day."

Upon hearing this, Dou's father told him:

"Can you eat this as you like? Don't let the boss see it. Be careful of fines."

"You can eat everything in our store. The boss is very nice and won't fine you."

When Dou Wenjing was telling her parents about Lin Xu, the store door opened and Chen Yan, wearing a red down jacket and a red woolen hat, came to the store:

"It's so cold outside, Baby Shu, have you made a reservation for our private room? Today I will have dinner with my family first, and then I will come down to accompany you... Xiaodoudou, my hands are so cold, please warm them up..."

Shu Yun smiled and said:

"Mr. Dou's parents came to the capital to celebrate the New Year with her. We are envious of them."

When Chen Yan heard this, she immediately came over to say hello. She asked Dou Wenjing:

"Do your uncle and aunt have a place to stay? I have a Hilton platinum card. How about a suite?"

Dou Wenjing shook her head:

"No, just stay in my apartment. It's just in time to show my parents where I live in the capital."

Chen Yan did not insist and continued:

"Then hurry up and reserve tickets for the Forbidden City on WeChat, and take your uncle and aunt around the capital for a good time these two days."

"Yeah, I'll make an appointment right away."

After talking about the business, Chen Yan took out her mobile phone and said:

"This stinky Yueyue is angry at me again in the group. They also bought fireworks costing over 100,000 yuan to set off in the scenic spot. It really pisses me off. If they were close, I would have to drive over and light the fireworks while they were eating. …”

Shu Yun was no stranger to the drama of the landlady and Yan Baobao falling in love and killing each other. She smiled and said:

"We will get angry again later when the New Year's Eve dinner begins..."

Chen Yan pouted:

"Forget it, we can't keep up with the fireworks alone... The New Year's Eve dinner on the first floor will be more sumptuous tonight. I don't have enough money to charge it from my card. Let's make it more lively tonight."

After saying that, she stomped upstairs, planning to go to the private room to sit for a while and catch up with Zeng who was home for the New Year.

I don’t take the initiative to report work to my boss when I get home. Are you planning to clean the toilet after the New Year?

Northern Jiangsu.

The Zeng family’s New Year’s Eve dinner has just begun.

Zeng Xiaoqi's parents and elders looked at the table full of dishes, and Qi Siming became more and more satisfied.

She has good skills, looks good, and has a car and a house in the capital. She is a good match for her Qiqi.

"Come on, Xiaoqi, I'll give you a plate. Come to our house as a guest and let you cook. It's rude of us as elders."

Great-father opened a bottle of Wuliangye and filled the cup in front of Qi Siming without any explanation.

The tea should be light and the wine should be full.

Filling the wine glass is the greatest respect for the guests.

Qi Siming smiled and said:

"I only have this ability, so I should cook as I should. As long as Qiqi is happy, I will never complain about cooking for the rest of my life..."

Director Zeng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly had a happy expression on his face.

It turns out that bringing my boyfriend home to celebrate the New Year is so happy. No wonder the boss lady likes to show off her affection so much. Now I really want to show off too.

Zeng Xiaoqi’s uncle looked at Qi Siming with a smile and asked:

"Xiao Qi, I heard that you are the head chef at Yanjing Hotel? Qiqi's cousin, my Xiao Wu, knows a little bit about cooking. Can you help me arrange..."

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoqi said:

"No, Xiao Wu doesn't know anything. He also likes to drink, make trouble, and get into fights. We can't arrange this."

Director Zeng knows his cousin's virtues better than anyone else.

So I refused without any room for change.

The uncle had a slightly dissatisfied look on his face and whispered:

"As expected, my daughter's elbows are all turned outward. When your parents get old, don't count on our Xiaowu if you have the ability..."

"Snapped!"

Zeng Xiaoqi grabbed the bowl in front of her and threw it to the ground:

"What do you expect from your son? Can you count on him? Have you repaid the millions of online loans you owe? Come on, this is my home. Stop using your patriarchal ways to restrict me! My parents I'll take care of you in old age, I don't care about your shit!"

She had heard this kind of words countless times since she was a child.

There will always be no boys in your family. From now on, your parents will have to rely on my son to support them in their old age.

Now in front of her boyfriend, this uncle was talking about it again, which made Zeng Xiaoqi really unbearable.

This scene made everyone in the family stunned on the spot.

Zeng Xiaoqi's uncle's face turned red and white. He wanted to get up and leave, but he also wanted to ask Qi Siming to arrange a job for his son.

Qi Siming was originally a little disgusted with nepotism. Seeing that his girlfriend was angry, he sincerely said to his great-father:

"Uncle and auntie, please don't worry about your pension. I will take care of you in your old age. Just as I treat my parents, I will treat you two in the future. You have a daughter and a son-in-law, so you don't need to expect anyone else to take care of you in your old age."

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the white wine in one gulp.

After talking about this, Zeng Xiaoqi's uncle stood up angrily and led his wife and children out. When their Xiao Wu Lin went out, he gave Qi Siming a vicious look.

Several other elders looked at each other, then stood up and walked out. The reason why they came here was because they wanted to use their connections to arrange work in the capital.

When I saw this scene, I didn’t even bother to pretend.

After they left, when the family was silent, Chen Yan turned on the phone:

"Xiao Qiqi, how does it feel to bring your boyfriend home to celebrate the New Year? You no longer bubble up in the group. Believe it or not, I will let you later..."

Before she finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoqi said with a tearful tone:

"Baby Yan, I'm so sad..."

Chen Yan, who had nothing to do because Ren Jie was on duty, suddenly sat up:

"What's going on? Why are you crying during the Chinese New Year? Did your knight bully you?"

"No, it has nothing to do with him..."

Zeng Xiaoqi got up and went to the next room, sobbing and told the story again, and also talked about all the excessive behaviors of her uncle's family. Lu Zhiyan, who heard the injustice and roared, immediately became furious:

"It's the 21st century, why are you still so patriarchal? You can't count on your nephew to support you in old age! Why don't you let your parents come to the capital directly, so as not to have to suffer in your hometown!"

"They don't have much education and can't find a job in the capital, so they will definitely not agree."

Chen Yan said:

"Who said you can't find a job? The Ginkgo Garden will need manpower when it opens in the next year. As long as your parents don't dislike it, my brother-in-law will never refuse such an arrangement. He will pay back social security and apply for medical insurance later, and everything will be fine. ask for help."

Zeng Xiaoqi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, since it's full of mud here, just take your parents and jump out.

Apart from anything else, the working parents in Ginkgo Garden are absolutely competent. When the time comes, they will have food and drink. Isn’t it better than at home?

She was filled with gratitude:

"Thank you, Baby Yan. Although the boss lady is an E cup, in my mind, 34D is the biggest!"
