I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

I went to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year and found myself waiting for by Mr. Wei at his home.

"Boy, you are so brave to become a Grandmaster recently. You dare to say that I am envious and jealous!

You dare to complain to your Aunt Wei. You will be punished for your youthful arrogance. "Mr. Wei was probably punished by Aunt Wei, so he came to Cao Dongfang to seek balance.

"Well...well, Mr. Wei, I am young anyway, so it's not too much for me to be a little frivolous..." Cao Dongfang said with a grin.

"Old Wei, look at what you are capable of. Why are you throwing a tantrum at Dongfang? You are just envious, jealous, and hateful. What's wrong with that?

I can't say anything about you when you become a high official. Why are you putting on airs in front of us? Don't pay attention to him, Dongfang. "Aunt Wei said dissatisfiedly.

"I...I..." What else did Mr. Wei want to say?

"What do you mean by 'me'? Go out and pay New Year's greetings. You are a big bureaucrat at home and you can't do anything. You only know how to eat and scold people." Aunt Wei said bluntly.

Cao Dongfang: “…”

Cao's mother: "......."

Cao Jiajia: “……”

"I'm leaving to pay New Year's greetings. I can't even have a meal at home during New Year's Day. Xiao Zhao (Cao's mother) Jia Jia, you guys sit down. I'm going to pay New Year's greetings." Old Wei got up, changed his clothes and went out.

"Hmph, so petty, he didn't even talk to Dongfang properly, what are you so proud of?" Aunt Wei said dissatisfiedly, "We will have dinner later, so leave him alone."

........

After dinner, Cao's mother and son came out of Wei's house and walked back along the road.

"Dongfang, what's wrong with Mr. Wei? It seems like he has something against you." asked Cao's mother.

"Let Aunt Wei take care of it. She thinks I reported him. He has entered old age at the age of 50," said Cao Dongfang.

"That's nonsense, but it seems that Mr. Wei is acting a little like a child." Mother Cao said with a smile.

"Never mind him, character is quite important in the military. There are various factions there, and the people above do it on purpose to maintain balance," said Cao Dongfang.

“I don’t understand! Don’t get involved!” said Cao’s mother.

"I don't need to get involved! I dealt with the Mao Bears before I left. The country knows my value, and it's different now.

This is also good for Mr. Wei, and he understands it, but he was severely punished by Aunt Wei.

Humph, you come to me to find balance." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"It's okay, as long as you are safe!" said Cao's mother.

"Mom, brother, I don't understand what you are talking about." Cao Jiajia asked from the side.

"My brother and I said that these were words spoken by adults and you don't understand what is normal," said Cao's mother.

"Little brat, you don't understand, go away!" Cao Dongfang said.

"Hmph, bad brother. I'm not going to pay attention to you." Cao Jiajia said.

"Noisy again!"

.......

"Yushui, you are alone at home on New Year's Day, you are not in a good mood to eat.

It's already the second day of the Chinese New Year and there are still so many leftovers. You and Cao Jiajia finished them all." Cao Dongfang said as he looked at the leftovers.

“Too much to eat!

I really can’t finish it! ″

He Yushui said helplessly.

"If you don't want to eat it, put the rest together and I'll send it to Grandma Wang. There is still half of the cold dish. We ate the fish and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall today." said Cao's mother.

"Cao Jiajia, eat more and grow up." Cao Dongfang said.

"Grow taller, I'll eat...I'll eat." Cao Jiajia agreed immediately when she heard the word "grow taller".

"What are you going to do tonight?" asked Cao's mother.

"You can eat whatever you want. We can't have four dishes in the 'First Banquet of the Founding of the Country,'" Cao Dongfang said.

"Brother, what is the first banquet of the founding of the country? It must be delicious." Cao Jiajia said.

"On the day the country was founded, the dishes served at the first national banquet for people from all walks of life were mainly Huaiyang cuisine," said Cao Dongfang.

"Then let's try some from the East." said Cao's mother.

.......

Cao Dongfang has been thinking about the various foods in the "First Banquet of the Founding of the Country". He had four chances to eat them in his previous life, but unfortunately he never got to eat them!

The best thing is not being able to eat it!

Cao Dongfang knew the recipe for the first banquet of the founding of the country, which was -

Eight kinds of cold dishes: Crispy roasted crucian carp, fried chicken, stir-fried cucumber strips, crystal braised pork, winter bamboo shoots with shrimp roe, boneless goose feet, spicy jellyfish, and fermented bean curd and drunken shrimp

First course:Frankincense bird's nest seaweed

Eight hot dishes: braised shark's fin, abalone with thick sauce, braised duck, braised lion's head, braised carp, braised prawns, fresh mushrooms and Chinese cabbage, stewed chicken

Four kinds of dim sum: vegetable and meat siu mai, deep-fried spring rolls, red bean paste buns, thousand-layer fried cake

Instead of making dim sum, I started with hot dishes such as braised shark’s fin, abalone with four treasures in thick sauce, braised prawns, and freshly ground choy sum.

The soup is frankincense and seaweed.

There are just these four dishes and one soup. Make cold dishes in summer and hot dishes in winter.

Just buy all the vegetables from the procurement system, you don’t have to do anything else. It doesn’t take long to cook, just do it when it’s almost time for dinner and then take a rest!

.......

"Dongfang, these are the four hot dishes and soup from the 'First Banquet of the Founding of the Country'. They taste good." said Cao's mother.

“Brother, since there is no fish, we should cook fish next time. It will taste better this way, okay?” Cao Jiajia commented.

"Fish, fish, fish. Don't you get tired of eating fish every day? I make braised carp, and I don't make chicken nuggets either. You can change the taste occasionally." Cao Dongfang said.

"The fish is delicious!" Cao Jiajia said firmly.

"Do it yourself!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Mom, my brother bullied me!" Cao Jiajia started complaining again.

"Your brother didn't bully you. It's right to change the taste of food occasionally. You can't eat it every day if it tastes good." said Cao's mother.

"knew!"

After tasting the four dishes and one soup, Cao Dongfang thought it was okay and could be eaten several times.

Cao Dongfang has always attached great importance to food. He doesn’t mind the taste of 99% of the dishes in the country. As long as he doesn’t eat extremely spicy or super spicy dishes, he has no problem with other flavors.

In my previous life, I worked in sales, and I had to treat clients to meals in many different restaurants.

.......

On the afternoon of the third day of the junior high school, I went to the parents of the team leader to wish them a happy new year and brought some things, including food and drinks.

We were still having dinner at Uncle Yu’s house. The children were very happy to see Cao Dongfang. When Cao Dongfang took out a box of drinks and chocolates, the children started cheering.

There are few children who don’t like drinks and chocolate, just like girls like jewelry and cosmetics.

"Dongfang, I'm sorry to have made you spend money again. You don't have to bring so many things next time. These things are not easy to buy. It's not last year now." Uncle Guan said.

“I know someone who has channels, and I know how much stuff I want at what time. They stay and I exchange the meat for it!

I have also received some offers from former wealthy people. I have to do these things. It is useless to have money alone. "Cao Dongfang said.

“Tickets are important now, luckily you gave me a lot of them before the New Year.

Otherwise, it’s useless to have money. I can’t buy goods. This year is okay. I hope it will be better in the future. "Uncle Guan said.

“I have missions in March and April, and will be going abroad later, so please bring some supplies if you need them.

It's fine as long as it's not sensitive, the military has already reported it." Cao Dongfang said.

"Where to go, to the Russian bear? We don't know if there is anything better." Uncle Jiang said.

“Men’s cigarettes, children’s drinks, cloth, cotton, etc., there is still time to think about it.

Don't go to the Russians. They have broken with the country, and it will be good if we don't have to fight a war in the future.

I went to four or five Western capitalist countries and bought or borrowed some things from them," Cao Dongfang said.

“As for capitalist countries, I don’t know what to do, let’s think about what we need.

Don’t bring drinks, they take up space, and forget about the cloth, I bought a lot, cotton has not been in short supply in recent years. "Bao Shu said.

"These are all the things ordinary people need in their lives. What else do they need?" said Uncle Guan.

“The country has been having a tough time economically for the past few years, and now we have enemies on all sides.

The country should focus on the military first and people's livelihood second, and the people will suffer in the next few years. "Cao Dongfang said.

"There is no other way. If we break with the Russian bear, our country will have no friends. It is understandable that we should resort to military means first.

It’s good enough that the common people can live in peace for the next ten years. It will be even worse if foreigners invade again! " said Uncle Guan.

"It's unlikely that they can break in, but we still have to fight. We may have to fight the plateau, the monkey country on the border, and even the Russian bear," said Cao Dongfang.

"Alas! The country has just been founded, the country is poor, and there are many things happening outside. I hope things will be better." Uncle Jiang said helplessly.

"Eat and talk while eating." Uncle Yu started serving the dishes.

"Come and eat at the table. The food is not as good as the Dongfang family's, but thanks to Dongfang it's not bad either," said Uncle Guan.

"Fill up the wine. Dongfang and I will drink. You guys can do whatever you want. It's boring to drink with you." Uncle Jiang said domineeringly.

"Who are you looking down on? I can drink one and a half catties of wine, but I am not as good as Lao Yu." Bao Shu said unconvinced.

Count you three!

No different from the old fish!

I'm so mad! Who are you looking down on?
