Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

The highlight of today is the New Year’s Eve dinner. Except for Ah Huang and Xuetuan who were wandering around in the yard, everyone else was working.

"The waves are running, the waves are flowing..."

Chen Weiqiang was holding a small brush and bathing a few large blue crabs while singing the theme song of The Bund.

There was also a large yellow croaker that had not been completely thawed and several abalones waiting for him to process.

Chen Zhiyao walked outside with a basket. She wanted to go to the vegetable garden near the old house to pick vegetables for the New Year's Eve dinner.

It was winter and there weren't many vegetables at this time of year. She only picked a few green lettuces and a round cabbage.

In addition, I also picked some seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic and coriander.

When Chen Zhiyao came back with a basket of vegetables, the smell of meat was already wafting from the kitchen.

The taste of the boiled chicken and soy sauce goose was so tempting that Ah Huang and Xuetuan were standing at the kitchen door with their mouths watering.

When the two little guys saw Chen Zhiyao coming back, they gave her a perfunctory look and wagged their tails twice to express their welcome.

Then he turned his head and looked straight into the kitchen.

Seeing the perfunctory attitude of the two dogs, Chen Zhiyao walked forward unhappily, held down one little guy with one hand, and gave it a good beating.

Seeing that the two little guys were annoyed, he went to wash his hands contentedly, and then picked and washed the vegetables he had just brought back.

As for Grandpa Chen, seeing that there was nothing that needed his help in the kitchen, he cleaned the house inside and out.

The old man knew that even if he couldn't help at this time, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, otherwise he would be scolded.

Anyone who cooks knows that the most time-consuming part of cooking is actually the preparation process.

The four of them were so busy that they didn't finish preparing all the ingredients until after 12 noon.

Chen Zhiyao’s cooking skills are average. She’s OK at cooking everyday, but for big occasions like the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s the two master chefs, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting, who have to step up.

While the two were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Zhiyao, her grandfather, and her father came to the Temple of Poseidon to worship.

Today is New Year's Eve, and we are having the family reunion dinner. Naturally, we cannot forget Poseidon. Every household will bring all kinds of delicious food to the Temple of Poseidon.

The Temple of Poseidon is much more lively today than usual, and it is packed with people.

As soon as Chen Zhiyao came over, she found that there were many people she didn't know. Some of them looked familiar but she couldn't remember their names.

Fortunately, everyone was busy and didn't seem to want to stop to say hello or chat.

Seeing that no one greeted her, Chen Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

What if I can't call out the name and we just stare at each other? That would be so awkward.

Chen Zhiyao kowtowed and burned incense to the sea god devoutly, praying for good weather and peace for the family in the coming year.

She doesn't ask for a lot of money, it's enough for her family to live in peace.

After the worship, everyone will take home the various delicious foods.

Coming back from the Temple of Poseidon, the road was full of little kids having fun, and the smell of meat was everywhere.

Having only eaten two meat buns in the morning, Chen Zhiyao was already hungry and her pace unconsciously quickened.

When we got home, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting had almost finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

After giving the things in her hand to her mother, Chen Zhiyao returned to the living room.

As soon as she came in, she saw that the little pufferfish in the fish tank looked a little listless.

"Why do you look so listless? Are you hungry?" As he said that, he threw down another handful of fish food.

Seeing that the little puffer fish started to eat, she got up and went to the kitchen to help.

But what she didn't notice was that the little pufferfish, which was already listless, was now in an even worse state.

The New Year’s Eve dinner basically consisted of main dishes, and Chen Zhiyao and the other two were busy until 4 o’clock before they finished the meal.

The table was almost full of stir-fried blue crabs, steamed yellow croaker, braised pork knuckles with lotus roots, blanched prawns, abalone and chicken pot, boiled chicken, goose with soy sauce and lettuce with oyster sauce.

As soon as the food was put down, Yan Shuting and Chen Zhiyao started taking pictures with their phones.

"Crackling..."

Chen Zhiyao had just put away her phone when she heard loud firecrackers coming from the door.

Then, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang ran in with a small piece of red paper hanging on their heads after setting off firecrackers.

Seeing that everyone was present, Grandma Chen urged the father and son with a smile:

"Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"

In addition to the food on the table, there was also chicken soup stewed with an old hen in the pot. Chen Zhiyao quickly served a bowl to everyone.

Only after seeing Grandpa and Grandma Chen start eating, the younger ones like Chen Zhiyao dared to pick up the food.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another in the village, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Ah Huang was a little afraid of the sound of firecrackers. He looked wilted and looked pitiful.

Grandma Chen picked up two pieces of chicken for it with concern.

As soon as it saw something delicious, its big tail, which had been drooping, began to wag wildly again.

Chen Weiqiang was drinking a little wine, watching Ah Huang shaking his head and wagging his tail, and couldn't help but tease him:

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ah Huang is such a scheming dog, is he pretending to be pitiful just to get food?"

Seeing Ah Huang's innocent face, Grandma Chen happily placed another piece of goose meat in front of him:

"Our Ah Huang is such a good boy, stop talking nonsense here."

"I am not talking nonsense. Although Ah Huang looks silly, he is actually very smart." Chen Weiqiang said unconvinced.

Chen Zhiyao was happily watching her father's fun, and the gloating look on her face was too obvious.

After watching the excitement, she realized that the snowball was very quiet today. She thought it was destroying the house, but when she turned around, she saw...

The little guy was lying at Grandpa Chen's feet, gnawing on a big chicken claw happily.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and playing with the two little cuties, Xuetuan and Ah Huang. The New Year's Eve dinner lasted from 4 o'clock to after 5 o'clock.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, it is time to receive the important red envelopes.

According to the custom in Guangdong, as long as you are not married, you can receive red envelopes regardless of your age.

Unlike the north where red envelopes are often several hundred or thousands of yuan each, here the red envelopes given to the closest family members are usually only one or two hundred yuan.

Like previous years, Chen Zhiyao received a total of 400 yuan in New Year's red envelopes.

She made a lot of money this year and prepared red envelopes for her grandparents and parents.

She stuffed a thick stack of 4 yuan into each of the four huge red envelopes with the words "peace and happiness" written on them.

As a master of keeping things balanced, Chen Zhiyao gave out red envelopes worth 2000 yuan each.

Originally, she wanted to transfer the money directly via WeChat, but thinking that the older generation still prefers cash, she went out of her way to exchange it for cash.

Chen Weiqiang and others didn't expect that they would receive red envelopes. They were immediately overjoyed and wanted to tell the world how filial their granddaughter/daughter was.
