Luting Canteen

A group of people entered the supermarket, but they didn't expect to drive to a place farther away. There were still a lot of people.There was a long line behind every cash register, but fortunately, they were not in a hurry today, so Yan Ting and Li Hui naturally walked into the store with their fingers interlocked, and the four behind them smiled with each other.

Ye Qi was in charge of pushing the shopping cart. Originally, he wanted Li Hui to sit in and play - this was something he had always wanted to try, but today it was no longer possible.Song Song held a list in his hand, and a group of people assigned tasks, those who bought candy and melon seeds, those who bought fruits, milk and cooked food, and those who bought vegetable and meat sauces. Ye Qi became a brick of the revolution, and he went wherever he was called. Go shopping.

Now that Li Hui saw these people, he no longer felt flustered, but thought of Jiang Ling instead.In previous years, after watching the New Year's Eve, when it came to Yuan Day, I would go to the street to buy some Tusu wine, flower cakes and sweets, and watch those jugglers.There are colorful sheds everywhere on the street, and vendors sell some rouge pollen, embroidered shoe combs and the like.

At night, there are still colorful lights to watch, but if you just watch it alone and listen to the firecrackers, the excitement will pass and you will feel boring.

Now, Li Hui is full of anticipation for his first year here.The young master told him to have New Year's dinner at Luting at night, and he could watch something called the Spring Festival Gala. Ye Qi also said that there were red envelopes to take.

It would be great if Mr. Tang and sister Yan Zi were here.Even though he thought so, Li Hui knew that they had a home to return to.The son said that Ye Qi would go to see his other father in the first day of the junior high school, and he also talked a little about Ye Qi, so Li Hui tried his best to make delicious food for him to take there.If, if he could laugh when he ate delicious food, then would Ye Qi's father be able to smile at Ye Qi?Will Ye Qi be able to visit him often?

"Little Lihui, what are you thinking?"

The braid was pulled slightly, Li Hui raised his head and saw Ye Qi, who was wearing a hat, looking at him with a smile.

"Boss wants me to buy milk and yogurt with you, come here."

Nodding his head, Li Hui hurriedly followed.He also went to the nearby supermarket with Yan Ting before, so he knew that milk was stored in the freezer or on the shelf.

"Today they spend money, let's choose something more expensive?"

Winking at Li Hui, Ye Qi pushed the cart, caught a glimpse of a foreign brand of fresh milk, and took a bottle down to look at it:

"Hey, this is good, ah, and this, I love to drink, Li Hui, when we get back, let's plug in all the straws of this, and drink along with each other~"

Talking about being happy, Li Hui saw how many cartons of milk and rows of wrapped things he put in it, and asked a little worriedly:

"Ye, Ye Qi, are these too expensive?"

"It's all right, it's Chinese New Year, don't be afraid."

"How about I buy it for you? Ye Qi, I have money with me. What do you want to eat?"

Li Hui quickly took out the wallet from Yang Shubai and the others from his pants pocket and held it in front of Ye Qi.The wallet matched his clothes very well, and there was a rabbit embroidered on it, which Li Hui liked very much.

Startled by Li Hui's actions, Ye Qi immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Hui.

"Little~ Li Hui~ ah~ you go back with brother!"

"B-Where are you going? Is it Luting? No way, young master and the others are still shopping——"

Ye Qi laughed out loud, couldn't help rubbing Li Hui's head, and then gave him a hard poke on the cheek, Yan Ting came to look for them just in time to see this scene, seeing Ye Qi seemed very happy , Yan Ting bent the corner of his mouth, turned around and went back to Jie Zhou and the others through the crowd.

"So, this one won't work, it's covered with ice, and the shrimps are actually very small."

"Then fish, hey, this one, how about grilling salmon head at night?"

Seeing Yan Ting approaching, Song Song asked again:

"Has Li Hui ever eaten salmon?"

"No."

"Then why don't you just make sashimi? Ye Qi also likes to eat it. I haven't made it for him for a long time. You also like Kuazhou, right?"

Yang Shubai pushed his glasses, and Jie Zhou stood beside him with a smile.Just now the two accidentally talked about sushi, and from sushi to wine, they hit it off.

"Okay, okay, why don't we buy something else and make it together?"

"Let me cut in, don't forget, our highlight is making dumplings."

"Oh yes, there is also making dumplings. I haven't made dumplings by myself in many years. Speaking of which, this is the first time for us to make dumplings together during the Chinese New Year, right?"

"It should be the first time."

"Okay, okay, let's start when we get back! Hey Kuazhou, it's agreed, whoever makes the package will eat."

"My mother is from the north, and our family used to make dumplings during Chinese New Year."

"Why can't this trouble you? Tsk tsk!"

Song Song's loud voice was particularly festive under the Spring Festival song in the supermarket, and when it was mentioned that we would make dumplings together later, everyone started to look forward to it like a child.Yan Ting turned his head and saw Ye Qi pushing a shopping cart full of snacks, followed by Li Hui who was restless, and waved to him. Li Hui glanced at Ye Qi, and Ye Qi gave him a "don't worry" message eyes.

"Master, son."

"What's the matter? Have you decided with Ye Qi? Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Yan Ting smiled and pushed back a strand of his loose front hair behind his ear, Li Hui shook his head quickly.

"Li Hui, just tell me what you want to eat. Originally, I brought you out to play during the Chinese New Year. Ye Qi has chosen them all. Did you choose?"

"I, I chose."

"Okay, wait until you have something you want to eat."

Saying that, Yan Ting patted Li Hui's face lightly, and everyone came and stood together, completely ignoring their gathering, which attracted many eyes.

"Are they relatives? That pink-haired one and that child are probably their younger brothers,"

"If it's really a relative, it's too good to be born, isn't it?"

There were more excited whispers around, but these people didn't notice at all, and the group moved forward again.After finally choosing and buying, I returned to Luting, and it was almost five or six o'clock.

At this time, Song Song showed the decisiveness of the chef and immediately directed everyone to divide the work. In addition to making dumplings, Li Hui and Yan Ting were also responsible for making meatballs and stir-fried vegetables, Yang Shubai sliced ​​cooked food, and Ye Qi and Jie Zhou prepared fruit and melon seed snacks.

Everyone put together several dining tables, first spread a layer of plastic cloth on top, and then put a large chopping board, made dumplings, and pinched meatballs on top.The dumpling wrappers were rolled out by Li Hui now, not thin nor thick, just the right size, Ye Qi clamored to wrap them too, Song Song taught him, he looked at them for a while, and saw that several wrappers were torn, Li Hui hurriedly asked him to try it Trying to knead the meatballs, but after kneading the meat filling, there is no way to squeeze out a perfect ball from the tiger's mouth like Li Hui, but it all sticks to the palm of the hand.

"I gave up. It seems that I was born to be a blessed person who wants to eat delicious food, so I can't do it."

Ye Qi washed his hands, then stood beside the table and shook the water drops, and announced with a smile.

"Go aside."

Yan Ting glanced at him, and Ye Qi hurriedly stood beside Jie Zhou:

"Brother Kuazhou, your skills are good."

"Really? Thanks."

"Brother Shubo, this bag looks nice, nice, and neat,"

Seeing Ye Qi wandering around the table with his hands behind his back, Yan Ting simply gave him an order to open canned cat food for preserved eggs and meat pies, and then tidy up the mats of the cat house in the yard to see if they need to be thicker .Now Ye Qi could only watch the three little ones gnawing on each other madly in the corner of the cafeteria, and silently waited on them.

At the moment when the dumplings were put into the pot, everyone was in the kitchen, watching the water gurgling and gurgling, and felt lively. Song Song was afraid that Li Hui would burn his hands, so he took the plate and quickly put the dumplings on. Individuals start to set the table and serve dishes, turn on the TV hanging on the wall, and the news broadcast has not yet finished, watching the news of the Chinese New Year from all over the place, and adding a table of dishes, the taste of the year will come out.

Yan Ting said that it is customary to eat meatballs during Chinese New Year, so Li Hui did something different.The meatballs and lotus root balls are finely chopped by him, especially the lotus root balls, which are then mashed into a puree. Even the ginger powder is finely melted into the lotus root paste. After kneading and deep-frying with sesame oil, the outer layer has a crispy shell. The meatballs didn't collapse, and it was very cute to dry the oil beads one by one.

There are also glutinous rice balls bought in the supermarket, handmade fish cakes and fish balls brought by Yang Shubai, and Yan Ting made stewed soup with wild lotus root ribs and fried a few home-cooked dishes.Li Hui steamed the fresh sea bass he had picked, without putting anything else in it. He only made a ball with shallots, then spread it with Chinese cabbage, drunk it with sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and when he was done, put clear soup and chili minced juice on top. As soon as it was poured, the fragrance went straight to the nose.

Ye Qi had already eaten a lot of fried lotus root balls, and even delivered a few to the mustard boat. Now that the dumplings were cooked, Song Song scooped up the dumplings one by one and shouted, "Don't burn them, don't burn them!" Let's go," while handing it to the two people waiting there to the table.When everything was ready and finally sat down, Yan Ting opened beer for everyone first, and the Spring Festival Gala just started, Li Hui was very curious to see those singing and dancing people, Yan Ting fed him a mouthful of tender beef and laughed.

"Come, come, it's for the two kids—"

Song Song took the fish made by Li Hui, the fish was so tender as tofu that he couldn't help nodding, remembering that he still had a red envelope on his body, he put down his chopsticks reluctantly, took it out and waved it.

"Thank you dear Brother Song Song, Uncle Shu Bai! I wish you all a new year that is so sweet and sweet!"

Ye Qi immediately stood up with a smile on his face and took the red envelope with both hands, Yang Shubai got up and knocked him on the head with a smile, then handed the other one in Song Song's hand to Li Hui, Li Hui hurried over and took the red envelope with both hands, a little shy I was thinking about what to say, but in the end I still didn't think about it. Just as I was about to raise my hand to salute, Yang Shubai patted my head:

"We are very happy to have Li Hui here this year."

"Thank, thank you—"

"It's not over, there's mine, Ye Qi, come on, what do you want to wish me for?"

Jie Zhou put the red envelopes into the hands of the two of them, and Ye Qi immediately said:

"Of course he's getting more and more handsome!"

"This is mine, come and get it."

"Thank you boss!! Oh my god, it's so thick!"

Ye Qi opened the red envelope very excitedly, and Li Hui also looked at him curiously.

"Boss! Why are they all ten yuan a piece!"

Yan Ting sat down slowly and took a sip of wine.Ye Qi looked at the thickness and felt that there was a few hundred. He felt a little happy, and went to Yan Ting again:

"Boss, are you free? Where did you get so many ten dollars?"

"Bank. By the way."

"Little Lihui, little Lihui, come to see you."

It turned out that only his own was in a stack of ten yuan. Ye Qi couldn't help but ate several more dumplings, which made Song Song laugh out loud.In the middle of everyone drinking, a few men punched again, Ye Qi and Song Song were playing weird, Li Hui watched and ate, the smile on his face never stopped.

Ye Qi had also brought Jie Zhou into the group, as well as Yan Zi.Tang Meng was probably having dinner with a large family of relatives, and there was no movement all night, but Yan Zi proudly sent red envelopes to Ye Qi and Li Hui, and asked, "Is it nice to have a working sister? Ye Qi?"

Ye Qi immediately sent her another one, and added "by your handsome younger brother", and then the two of them complained in the group, which was more lively than a sketch, making Yan Ting and the others dumbfounded.

As soon as zero o'clock was reached, Yan Ting's phone vibrated.Glancing at the name, he quietly got up and went to the yard. He didn't answer the phone until he reached the wooden table.

"Tang Meng, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Qi, is he alright?"

"He's very happy today,"

"That's good."

"What happened?"

"...My mother, I know about me and Xiaoqi. Her relatives are here today, and she didn't make a fuss. But after these few years, I'm afraid she will come to make trouble for Xiaoqi."

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Tang Meng on the other side of the phone smiled and said after a while:

"Yan Ting, I will come back later this year. I just said that there are more relatives in my family. I haven't finished my journey. You can tell Xiaoqi that for me when the time comes. I want to have a good talk with my mother. I will never let her Come here and make trouble for Xiaoqi.”

Yan Ting could hear the determination in his tone, thought for a while, and looked inside the Luting Pavilion——Ye Qi was standing punching Song Song, shouting something, with a smile on his face.

"Tang Meng, what if he doesn't want to be protected by you, but wants to stand with you?"

There was no sound for a long time.Yan Ting just waited like this, until finally Tang Meng finally said:

"At least let me protect him for a while longer before I have to do that."
