Chef Strawberry's CEO
Chapter 69
On the first day of the new year, Cao Mei was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and almost every household was setting off firecrackers.
It was time to pay New Year's greetings, and Cao Mei remembered that she hadn't paid New Year's greetings for a long time.
It's a great feeling that everyone is making noise and I'm alone.
After washing up refreshed, Cao Mei suddenly wanted to have a carnival alone.
Yesterday's New Year's Eve dinner was miserable, so let's make up for it today.
I looked at the ingredients on the kitchen floor and in the refrigerator, and carefully thought about the combination of all the dishes in my mind.
Roughly set a menu.
If you have shrimp, you can make salt and pepper prawns. With pig blood and tofu, you can make dragon fat pig blood. You can have fried taro meatballs with taro and pork. You should eat fish during the Chinese New Year. It means more than every year. Cao Mei doesn’t like fish , but the appetizer fish head king is still eaten. There is no fish at home. I will find a way to buy a fish head outside later.Cao Mei was a little confused.
The person that Su Bai asked him to get the ingredients before seemed to be quite powerful, so he called and killed a chicken and a fish for himself for Su Bai's sake. Cao Mei kept thanking that person when he went to get them.
If you have chicken, you can eat it stewed or fried. It will be up to you how to do it.
Su Bai's friends are really amazing.
It's still a little tiring to do so many dishes.
Cao Mei encouraged herself, settled down, and started to process the ingredients.
This shrimp seems to be bought yesterday, and I specially picked a larger one, which is just right for cooking today. Cao Mei likes shrimp very much.
First remove the shrimp head, remove the shrimp shell, keep the tail, use a knife to plan the back, and take out the shrimp line.
Then prepare some ingredients, knot the green onion, cut the rest of the green onion into chopped green onion, cut the pepper in half, remove the seeds, and then cut into very fine particles, cut the garlic into very fine particles, dice the onion, a little bit of onion is enough .
Then go to marinate the shrimp, rinse it before marinating, add cooking wine, scallion knots, a little salt, put some ginger, and marinate for 10 minutes.
Then start to operate the taro meatballs, peel the taro, steam it over water, start chopping the meat here, after chopping into minced meat, add salt, chicken powder, pepper, sugar, cooking wine, oyster sauce and sesame oil, marinate and mix well spare.
After the taro is steamed, use a spoon to mash it into a puree, put it into the minced pork that has been marinated before, and stir in one direction until it becomes starchy.
Put it aside and start working on the ingredients for the next dish.
The fish head is cut, Cao Mei washes it directly, cuts a flower knife on the thick part of the meat, and then puts a pinch of salt on it, some monosodium glutamate, onion and ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce, white wine, steamed fish soy sauce, the most important The most important thing is millet pepper, and the body of the fish must be covered with millet pepper.
After adding the seasoning, set aside to marinate.
The chicken was also cut up and eviscerated, and Cao Mei's favorability for Su Bai's friend rose again.
The stewed chicken should be more fragrant, Cao Mei thought about it, and planned to use the chicken to stew a five-yuan stewed chicken, and the leftover chicken breast can be used to make Kung Pao Chicken.
First boil Xianglian for more than ten minutes, soak the dried longan meat, wolfberry, and red dates in water for later use, then blanch the chicken in boiling water, remove it, and add salt.
Start another pot, add water, lotus seeds, red dates, wolfberry, rock sugar, and cook together.
Chop off the fingertips, the tip of the wings, and bend the joints of the chicken legs. Put them in a casserole later and steam for a total of three hours.
After cooking, put the chicken into the casserole, pour in the lotus seeds, red dates, wolfberry, and rock sugar that were boiled before, and finally get a few quail eggs, put them in the casserole together, make five rounds, and then steam it, steam the chicken first Yes, the fish is easier to steam, put it last.
Then there is Kung Pao Chicken. Cut the chicken breast into cubes first. Before dicing, you can use a knife to smash some knife marks on the chicken, which is convenient to taste. Add a little salt and water starch. If there is still water after cutting, you need to add some Dried cornstarch, pickled with a little soy sauce.
Peel the ginger and cut it into fingernail slices, remove the seeds of the green and red peppers and cut them in half into small pieces, slice the garlic, cut a little green onion, some dried chilies, and peanuts.
A little salt, monosodium glutamate, white sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, water starch, water, sesame oil, scallion knots, put them together in a bowl to make a sauce.
Pause here for a while, and then turn to the processing of tofu. Cut the tofu into pieces, then chop the ginger, garlic, green onion, and pickled cabbage, wash and chop, wring out the water, and then chop.
Cao Mei sliced the pig blood, then waited for the water in the pot to boil, put the pig blood in the water, took it out, washed the pot, added oil, added sauerkraut, dried chili powder, fried in warm oil, added minced ginger, garlic At the end, clear soup, a little soy sauce, salt, and white vinegar. If the color is not dark enough, Cao Mei added a little more soy sauce, poured off the foam, added pig blood, salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, and added chopped green onion. This dish is out of the pan.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Cao Mei felt a little tired. Starting to cook a large table of dishes early in the morning, it is better to have better physical strength. Cao Mei couldn't hold on.
Slow down and continue cooking.
Cut the other tofu into cubes, remove the ribs from the beef tenderloin in the refrigerator, slice it with a flat knife, and then change the knife into shreds. Cao Mei rinsed some water on the knife to make it easier to cut. After shredding, cut into minced meat. It must be cut, otherwise the original juice of the beef tenderloin particles will be lost, and the taste of the particles will be better.
Shred the garlic with a broach, and then mince it.Crush the peppercorns and chop the bean paste.
Boil the pot and add water, add salt, soy sauce, and blanch the tofu after the water boils to remove the beany smell. After cooking, put the tofu and water into a bowl to let the tofu taste.
Cao Mei uses a boiling hot oil pan, put beef cubes and stir-fry, then add pepper and fry for a while, then bean paste, dried chili noodles, tofu, stir-fry for a while, add water to cook, and the height of the tofu is the same.
Instead of flipping some pots, and then seeing that the juice is almost collected, then add monosodium glutamate, water starch, tail oil, sesame oil, and shredded garlic, and stir fry for a while before it comes out of the pot.
One soup and one braised dish, two.
Should be able to start frying the shrimp.
Drain the marinated shrimp before, and grab a little dry raw powder to coat the paste.
Put half a pot of oil in the pot. When the oil temperature rises to about [-]% of the temperature, Cao Mei hangs the shrimp up and down and puts the paste into the oil pot for frying. When the oil temperature rises, remove the pot After frying, take it out, and fry it again when the oil temperature rises.
Put a little oil in the pot, put in the previously cut ingredients except chopped green onion, add monosodium glutamate, a little salt, weave the fragrance together, pour in the fished shrimp, sprinkle salt and pepper on it, add chopped green onion and sesame oil, and the shrimp is ready out of the pot.
The salt and pepper is Cao Mei's homemade salt and pepper, which is fried with pepper and salt. The pepper should be fried and crushed beforehand. Although it is a bit troublesome, the taste is quite real when used.
After frying the shrimp, continue to fry the taro meatballs.
Cao Mei wetted her left hand with cold water, then grabbed a handful of minced meat with her left hand, crushed the minced meat with a tiger's mouth and squeezed the meatballs, put the squeezed meatballs into the oil pan one by one, and after they were all in the oil pan, they could be Turn the heat to medium and wait until the surface of the meatballs is slightly golden, which is done.
Take out all of Cao Mei, and then throw in half for re-frying. After re-frying, the meatballs will be more crispy.
The slightly darker ones are put on the bottom, and the golden meatballs are placed on the top. This arrangement is also very beautiful.
After calculating the time, you can put the fish head in the steamer and steam it with the chicken.
At this time, pour the oil after frying the balls into the oil tank, leave some oil, [-]% of the oil temperature, throw the chopped chicken into it and fry it for a while before it comes out of the pan.
Leave the base oil, add ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, then add garlic, dried chili, green and red pepper, a little salt, monosodium glutamate, diced chicken, and the previous sauce. When the aroma comes out of stir-frying, put in the peanuts, and then take it out of the pan.
The sour and fragrant Kung Pao Chicken is still very fragrant after it comes out of the pan.
Salt and pepper prawns and fish head meatballs are ready, as is Kung Pao Chicken.
Adding the previous two dishes is five dishes, and there are two more dishes in the steamer, a total of seven dishes.
No, it has to be an even number.
Cao Mei was planning to take a break from the meeting, wait a few minutes for the fish to come out of the pan, and stir-fry a vegetable at random to make up eight dishes.
Then the doorbell rang.
Cao Mei was shocked, but also looked forward to it.
Could it be that Zong Cai is back?
Probably not, he is celebrating the New Year at Grandpa's house, how could he come.
But I don't have any relatives who will come to pay New Year's greetings.
He opened the door suspiciously, and unexpectedly saw an old man's face.
"May I ask who you are?" Before Cao Mei could finish asking, she saw the old man holding a young man's ear.
"Grandpa, don't pull it, it hurts so much!" Cao Mei couldn't believe her ears when she heard the voice.
Zong Cai is back?
"Zong Cai?" Cao Mei shouted unconsciously.
Zong Cai came out from behind the old man, and said happily but embarrassedly: "Well, my grandfather knew about our affairs and blamed me for leaving you alone for the New Year, so he arrested me and apologized."
"I'm sorry Cao Mei, I was so wrong that I left you alone for the New Year." After finishing speaking, Cao Mei was hugged by Zong Caixiong.
Cao Mei was so tired that she couldn't straighten up in the morning, or she would be hugged by a bear and thrown to the ground.
"Ah, Cao Mei! Are you alright?" Zong Cai quickly helped Cao Mei to check whether Cao Mei was injured.
At this time, a female voice came again, "Don't just make out at the door, we are still standing outside the door."
Cao Mei's face burned a little after hearing this, and she raised her eyes to look at the speaker, feeling a little familiar, this seems to be a former colleague of Zongcai Company, called Yue Ying?
"Let's go in first, it's hard to talk outside the door." The old man coughed and suggested.
Cao Mei hurriedly invited several people into the house.
Zongcai sat on the sofa, smirked like a dog and said, "It's still comfortable here."
"No prospect." The old man jokingly scolded.
"Well, are you Zongcai's grandfather? Do I want to call you grandfather too...?" Cao Mei didn't know how to address the energetic old man in front of him.
"Of course, Zongcai told me about you. This is Zongcai's cousin, you should have met before. Don't worry, we have nothing else to do here, just to celebrate the New Year with you. Zongcai's home is Your home, your business is my old man's business." The old man said happily.
"Grandpa, well, Zongcai and I..." Cao Mei wanted to explain his relationship with Zongcai, but was interrupted by the old man before he could speak.
"Okay, today's New Year's Day, we haven't eaten yet, let's go to a restaurant." The old man said.
"Actually, I cooked food today. If you don't mind, you can eat here." Cao Mei said.
When several people followed Cao Mei to the dining table, they were all amazed.
The old man thought that Cao Mei cooked a few home-cooked dishes, and wanted to find an excuse to take him out to eat, but unexpectedly, Cao Mei cooked a table of delicious-looking dishes.
The golden prawns and golden meatballs are delicious at first glance. There is also mapo tofu, which is beautiful in red oil and rich in color. The sour taste of Kung Pao chicken makes several people bleed.
"I also made five-yuan stewed chicken and appetizer fish head king, and I'll take them out now." Cao Mei said, and walked to the kitchen to bring the two stewed dishes in the steamer to the table.
It is even more fragrant, the tumbling heat is mixed with the fresh and spicy smell of fish, and it is straight to the nose. The color of the stewed chicken is mellow and yellow, and it tastes very good and healthy.
"Here are seven dishes, and I'll fry another plate of green vegetables." After Cao Mei finished speaking, she ran to the kitchen to start working again.
The remaining three looked at each other in blank dismay, Zong Cai took the lead to sit at the dining table, and when Cao Mei came over, Zong Cai's grandfather and Yue Ying also took their seats one after another.
Cao Mei's dishes are more delicious than those outside.
Green vegetables are still very easy to stir-fry, just put a little oil in the stir-fry.
Eight dishes were ready, and the four of them began to eat a table of dishes of 'Golden Jade Manyuan' cooked by Cao Mei.
"Your skills are amazing." Grandpa Zongcai praised.
"I told you earlier, my baby is very good at cooking." Zong Cai said proudly.
"Promise!" Grandpa scolded with a smile.
Yue Ying didn't say a word, she had already started eating vegetables, that's what the so-called making a fortune with a low voice almost meant.
Embarrassed by the praise, Cao Mei lowered her head and just ate the food.
The four of them talked and laughed while eating, but they were very harmonious.
Cao Mei actually felt that this was the feeling of Chinese New Year.
"This fish is good, spicy and refreshing, dipped in the bottom of the sauce, full of aftertaste." Grandpa Zongcai seems to like this appetizing fish head king.
"The fish is relatively tender, so it doesn't need to be steamed for a long time, and it's easy to make, just put the seasoning on it." Cao Mei explained.
"That's still our Cao Mei is great, everything is delicious." Grandpa Zongcai was very kind to Cao Mei, just like his own grandson, and said, and even picked up a shrimp for Cao Mei.
Cao Mei thanked her repeatedly.
Grandpa Zongcai was a little speechless to his stupid grandson, didn't he see Cao Mei staring at the shrimp for a long time?He only knows how to eat by himself, but doesn't know how to bring food to his wife. How did he catch up with Cao Mei?
Regardless of what was going on at the table, Yue Ying continued to eat non-stop.
Zong Cai sat next to Cao Mei, looking back at Cao Mei from time to time, looking at Cao Mei with a smirk.
Grandpa can agree, and he can come to Cao Mei's house to celebrate the New Year with Cao Mei. Is there anything better than this?
Although Cao Mei would occasionally act willfully in front of Zongcai, she still didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Yue Ying and Zongcai's grandfather.
After eating the meal happily, several people sighed comfortably.
Cao Mei got up to clear the table, and asked Grandpa Zongcai and Yue Ying to sit on the sofa.
Zongcai consciously went to the kitchen with Cao Mei to clean up.
"What happened today?" Cao Mei finally found a chance to ask what happened today.
"I went home and told my grandfather that I had someone to live with, and I planned to take you to see him after the new year. I didn't expect him to know about you. Cousin Yue Ying had contacted you before and told everything about you. Grandpa, grandpa visited you secretly a long time ago, he was very satisfied with you when you were at work, but he didn't see you after I got home, but he was angry and wanted to hit me." Zong Cai said here, his tone was Some feel aggrieved.
"It's your turn, hum." After hearing this, Cao Mei felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She thought she would not be recognized, but she didn't expect her family to meet her like this. I am really grateful.
"Okay, you go sit on the sofa, I'll come here." Cao Mei thought Zong Cai was in the way, and drove him to the living room.
Zongcai passed away obediently.
After Cao Mei packed up, she went to the living room.
Grandpa Zongcai saw Cao Mei and asked him to sit with him.
"Son, my old man is not a prejudiced person. As for this person, as long as he has a companion, supports each other, and can join hands in life, it will be fine. Are you right?"
"Our family has no parents since we were young, and I brought him up. I also know his bad habits. He eats too much and is lazy. Thanks to you, he took care of him so that he would not always live in a pitiful life alone. "
"I know you are a good boy, so I hope you can also treat me as your grandfather. If Zong Cai bullies you in the future, you tell me and I will beat him for you. Do you hear me?"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? It's too late for me to love Cao Mei, how could I bully him!"
"Don't interrupt."
Grandpa Zongcai held Cao Mei's hand and slowly stroked the hand of the young man in front of him.
The eyes that looked at Cao Mei were full of kindness.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Cao Mei's eyes slowly turned red when she heard this.
Sometimes happiness comes too easily, which makes Cao Mei a little overwhelmed.
"At this time, Zongcai's mother left the ring to his daughter-in-law. I don't care about it. I will give it to you. You can keep it." Grandpa Zongcai said, and took out another silver ring, which was a bit simple, It's a very simple style, Cao Mei won't feel feminine when wearing it on her ring finger.
"I'm done talking, you and Zongcai have a good talk." After Zongcai's grandfather finished speaking, he focused on watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala on TV.
Cao Mei and Zongcai went upstairs to find Husky.
"Yesterday the husky was too cold and fell asleep by the stove. I hugged him to the bed and told him that he should wake up now. He likes to sleep in just like you." Cao Mei explained.
"Cao Mei, you are the best." Zong Cai walked into Cao Mei's room and hugged Cao Mei from behind.
"Okay." Cao Mei patted Zong Cai's hand.
"I'm sorry, Cao Mei, I shouldn't have left you alone. I regret it so much now. I feel bad thinking about you spending New Year's Eve at home alone." Zong Cai's voice was muffled, as if he was feeling very sad.
"It's okay, I used to come here like this, but today is different. Grandpa, you, and cousin are all here, and I'm not alone." Cao Mei really felt that Zong Cai was sent by heaven to make him happy.
"Look, Husky and I can't do without you. Are you willing to take in the big and small dogs and never abandon them?" After Zongcai finished speaking, the husky jumped off Cao Mei's bed and hugged Cao Mei. Trouser legs, as if to eat.
Cao Mei turned around and looked at the big silly dog who liked to eat and was handsome.
Then he looked at the husky who was so stupid and clingy to him at his feet.
I sighed in my heart, maybe I was a dog owner in my previous life.
"Are you willing? Cao Mei." Zong Cai said in a gentle and pleading tone.
Cao Mei looked seriously into Zongcai's eyes, and said, "If you say 'bark' now, I will agree."
Zong Cai was taken aback for a moment at first, but when he realized it, he immediately barked a lot.
The huskies didn't know why, so they howled along with their master, woof woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
Cao Mei couldn't help laughing when she saw this, she covered her stomach and lay on the bed with a smile.
Zong Cai followed and blew into Cao Mei's ear: "You are laughing at me, you are so bad!"
The husky followed and climbed onto the bed, trying to live and die with its owner.
Accompanied by two dogs, Cao Mei lived a happy and joyful life of feeding dogs.
——end——
The author has something to say:【
Zong Cai: Cao Mei!I'm hungry again!
Husky: Bow woof!
Cao Mei: Shut up!No more noise!
One person, one dog: blah blah
Food Immortal: Chick Chick
Cao Mei: Everyone is really worried.Don't let me suffer anymore, I want to counterattack.
Zongcai: Baby, I can promise you anything else, but not this one, be good~ [Fall down]
Food Immortal: Pull the lights for you—beep—
Husky: Bow woof!

It was time to pay New Year's greetings, and Cao Mei remembered that she hadn't paid New Year's greetings for a long time.
It's a great feeling that everyone is making noise and I'm alone.

"Grandpa, well, Zongcai and I..." Cao Mei wanted to explain his relationship with Zongcai, but was interrupted by the old man before he could speak.
"Okay, today's New Year's Day, we haven't eaten yet, let's go to a restaurant." The old man said.
"Actually, I cooked food today. If you don't mind, you can eat here." Cao Mei said.
When several people followed Cao Mei to the dining table, they were all amazed.
The old man thought that Cao Mei cooked a few home-cooked dishes, and wanted to find an excuse to take him out to eat, but unexpectedly, Cao Mei cooked a table of delicious-looking dishes.
The golden prawns and golden meatballs are delicious at first glance. There is also mapo tofu, which is beautiful in red oil and rich in color. The sour taste of Kung Pao chicken makes several people bleed.
"I also made five-yuan stewed chicken and appetizer fish head king, and I'll take them out now." Cao Mei said, and walked to the kitchen to bring the two stewed dishes in the steamer to the table.
It is even more fragrant, the tumbling heat is mixed with the fresh and spicy smell of fish, and it is straight to the nose. The color of the stewed chicken is mellow and yellow, and it tastes very good and healthy.
"Here are seven dishes, and I'll fry another plate of green vegetables." After Cao Mei finished speaking, she ran to the kitchen to start working again.
The remaining three looked at each other in blank dismay, Zong Cai took the lead to sit at the dining table, and when Cao Mei came over, Zong Cai's grandfather and Yue Ying also took their seats one after another.
Cao Mei's dishes are more delicious than those outside.
Green vegetables are still very easy to stir-fry, just put a little oil in the stir-fry.
Eight dishes were ready, and the four of them began to eat a table of dishes of 'Golden Jade Manyuan' cooked by Cao Mei.
"Your skills are amazing." Grandpa Zongcai praised.
"I told you earlier, my baby is very good at cooking." Zong Cai said proudly.
"Promise!" Grandpa scolded with a smile.
Yue Ying didn't say a word, she had already started eating vegetables, that's what the so-called making a fortune with a low voice almost meant.
Embarrassed by the praise, Cao Mei lowered her head and just ate the food.
The four of them talked and laughed while eating, but they were very harmonious.
Cao Mei actually felt that this was the feeling of Chinese New Year.
"This fish is good, spicy and refreshing, dipped in the bottom of the sauce, full of aftertaste." Grandpa Zongcai seems to like this appetizing fish head king.
"The fish is relatively tender, so it doesn't need to be steamed for a long time, and it's easy to make, just put the seasoning on it." Cao Mei explained.
"That's still our Cao Mei is great, everything is delicious." Grandpa Zongcai was very kind to Cao Mei, just like his own grandson, and said, and even picked up a shrimp for Cao Mei.
Cao Mei thanked her repeatedly.
Grandpa Zongcai was a little speechless to his stupid grandson, didn't he see Cao Mei staring at the shrimp for a long time?He only knows how to eat by himself, but doesn't know how to bring food to his wife. How did he catch up with Cao Mei?
Regardless of what was going on at the table, Yue Ying continued to eat non-stop.
Zong Cai sat next to Cao Mei, looking back at Cao Mei from time to time, looking at Cao Mei with a smirk.
Grandpa can agree, and he can come to Cao Mei's house to celebrate the New Year with Cao Mei. Is there anything better than this?
Although Cao Mei would occasionally act willfully in front of Zongcai, she still didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Yue Ying and Zongcai's grandfather.
After eating the meal happily, several people sighed comfortably.
Cao Mei got up to clear the table, and asked Grandpa Zongcai and Yue Ying to sit on the sofa.
Zongcai consciously went to the kitchen with Cao Mei to clean up.
"What happened today?" Cao Mei finally found a chance to ask what happened today.
"I went home and told my grandfather that I had someone to live with, and I planned to take you to see him after the new year. I didn't expect him to know about you. Cousin Yue Ying had contacted you before and told everything about you. Grandpa, grandpa visited you secretly a long time ago, he was very satisfied with you when you were at work, but he didn't see you after I got home, but he was angry and wanted to hit me." Zong Cai said here, his tone was Some feel aggrieved.
"It's your turn, hum." After hearing this, Cao Mei felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She thought she would not be recognized, but she didn't expect her family to meet her like this. I am really grateful.
"Okay, you go sit on the sofa, I'll come here." Cao Mei thought Zong Cai was in the way, and drove him to the living room.
Zongcai passed away obediently.
After Cao Mei packed up, she went to the living room.
Grandpa Zongcai saw Cao Mei and asked him to sit with him.
"Son, my old man is not a prejudiced person. As for this person, as long as he has a companion, supports each other, and can join hands in life, it will be fine. Are you right?"
"Our family has no parents since we were young, and I brought him up. I also know his bad habits. He eats too much and is lazy. Thanks to you, he took care of him so that he would not always live in a pitiful life alone. "
"I know you are a good boy, so I hope you can also treat me as your grandfather. If Zong Cai bullies you in the future, you tell me and I will beat him for you. Do you hear me?"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? It's too late for me to love Cao Mei, how could I bully him!"
"Don't interrupt."
Grandpa Zongcai held Cao Mei's hand and slowly stroked the hand of the young man in front of him.
The eyes that looked at Cao Mei were full of kindness.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Cao Mei's eyes slowly turned red when she heard this.
Sometimes happiness comes too easily, which makes Cao Mei a little overwhelmed.
"At this time, Zongcai's mother left the ring to his daughter-in-law. I don't care about it. I will give it to you. You can keep it." Grandpa Zongcai said, and took out another silver ring, which was a bit simple, It's a very simple style, Cao Mei won't feel feminine when wearing it on her ring finger.
"I'm done talking, you and Zongcai have a good talk." After Zongcai's grandfather finished speaking, he focused on watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala on TV.
Cao Mei and Zongcai went upstairs to find Husky.
"Yesterday the husky was too cold and fell asleep by the stove. I hugged him to the bed and told him that he should wake up now. He likes to sleep in just like you." Cao Mei explained.
"Cao Mei, you are the best." Zong Cai walked into Cao Mei's room and hugged Cao Mei from behind.
"Okay." Cao Mei patted Zong Cai's hand.
"I'm sorry, Cao Mei, I shouldn't have left you alone. I regret it so much now. I feel bad thinking about you spending New Year's Eve at home alone." Zong Cai's voice was muffled, as if he was feeling very sad.
"It's okay, I used to come here like this, but today is different. Grandpa, you, and cousin are all here, and I'm not alone." Cao Mei really felt that Zong Cai was sent by heaven to make him happy.
"Look, Husky and I can't do without you. Are you willing to take in the big and small dogs and never abandon them?" After Zongcai finished speaking, the husky jumped off Cao Mei's bed and hugged Cao Mei. Trouser legs, as if to eat.
Cao Mei turned around and looked at the big silly dog who liked to eat and was handsome.
Then he looked at the husky who was so stupid and clingy to him at his feet.
I sighed in my heart, maybe I was a dog owner in my previous life.
"Are you willing? Cao Mei." Zong Cai said in a gentle and pleading tone.
Cao Mei looked seriously into Zongcai's eyes, and said, "If you say 'bark' now, I will agree."
Zong Cai was taken aback for a moment at first, but when he realized it, he immediately barked a lot.
The huskies didn't know why, so they howled along with their master, woof woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
Cao Mei couldn't help laughing when she saw this, she covered her stomach and lay on the bed with a smile.
Zong Cai followed and blew into Cao Mei's ear: "You are laughing at me, you are so bad!"
The husky followed and climbed onto the bed, trying to live and die with its owner.
Accompanied by two dogs, Cao Mei lived a happy and joyful life of feeding dogs.
