At the end of the natural disaster, I have a capsule house

Chapter 96 Celebrating the New Year at Lanshan Villa

I don’t know if it’s because the time spent lying down at home passes so quickly. When the owners’ meeting was held, there were still twenty days before the Chinese New Year, and in the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.

Due to the heavy snowfall for more than ten days, almost all the residents in the Lanshan villa area were trapped in their homes without leaving their homes.

Except for the Du family, which has its own supply channels for diesel, other residents have been using diesel generators to generate electricity in the past six months since the power outage. By now, the diesel at home has basically been exhausted.

Rich people like them can't live without electricity at all times. Among other things, they only need air conditioners. They have to turn on the water heater every day when it's hot or cold.

Now we are trapped in the villa due to such heavy snow. The electricity at home is out, and there is no wood stockpile. We can't even light a fireplace.

There were several families who lived close by, so they could only brave the severe cold and walk for an hour or two to go to Du Huairen's place to get a barrel of diesel for emergency use.

Some of them were too far away to leave, so they had no choice but to use kitchen knives to split the fine furniture at home piece by piece and use it to burn the fireplace for warmth.

The only food to eat is bread, biscuits and mineral water, and nothing else that needs to be cooked can be cooked.

The cold storage in the basement has also lost power. Fortunately, it is extremely cold now, and the food in the cold storage can be stored for a long time even if the power is cut off.

The most miserable New Year's Eve for these rich people is probably this year.

……

"Is this damn weather going to freeze people to death?"

"Mr. Du is too stingy. The little diesel he gave me is just enough to generate electricity, cook and light the lights every day, not even enough to take a hot bath."

Su Lingyue said angrily as she sat by the fireplace wrapped in a duvet and warming herself by the fire.

"Lingyue, we are actually pretty good. Others are out of power and don't even have firewood. At least we can still eat well and sleep warmly!"

Chen Lian put the two large sofas in the living room together. They planned to sleep by the fireplace at night. The room was really too cold.

The Du family usually distributes wood to the security team, so they are much better off than other people in the villa.

other people? Su Lingyue automatically attributed the other people mentioned by Chen Lian to Su Keke.

She was particularly happy when she thought of Su Keke shivering in the cold in a dark villa without electricity.

Now, Su Lingyue suddenly no longer felt cold.

She put the duvet wrapped around her body on the sofa that Chen Lian had just put together.

The two of them carried the coffee table to the fireplace and placed bread, ham, peanuts, melon seeds and the two buckets of instant noodles that had been soaked in hot water.

Chen Lian went to get another bottle of red wine given by Master Du. He must drink some red wine during the Chinese New Year.

The two of them sneaked out from the orphanage to buy a bottle of red wine that cost more than 20 yuan. They watched the rich people on TV who liked to drink red wine.

She hid in the dean's office in the middle of the night and drank. At first, Su Lingyue thought the red wine was terrible, but then the two of them drank more and more.

Until the next morning, the two drunk people were found lying on the sofa in the office by the dean, one of them shouted, "Cheers! Cheers! Hehe!"

One held an empty bottle of red wine in his arms, sleeping soundly!

On that occasion, Su Lingyue and Chen Lian were severely punished by the dean. The dean asked them to wash dishes with the kitchen aunt for a week, and also confiscated the New Year's money given by caring people during the New Year.

Su Lingyue took out the cup, and Chen Lian poured a full glass of red wine for the two of them.

"Happy New Year! Spirit Moon!"

"Happy New Year! Brother Chen Lian!"

After clinking glasses, the two took a few sips, and then ate their own instant noodles.

Su Lingyue had a very bad attitude towards Su Keke and even her biological parents who came back to find her. She would make nasty remarks when she was unhappy. But only for Chen Lian, he was always smiling.

Su Keke is busy pasting blessing characters on the window at the moment. Grandma Qiao cut these out of red paper herself. She said she would have a prosperous New Year celebration!

In the evening, Grandma Qiao was going to cook New Year's Eve dinner in the villa kitchen, and Su Keke turned on the generator early. Now it is a private house with no one around within one kilometer. Even if I turn on the lights in every room, no one will notice.

Grandma Qiao started studying the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner at noon today. She said that in the past ten years since her parents were gone, she had almost spent the New Year alone.

Although I don’t feel lonely, on a festive and reunion day like the Chinese New Year, I feel a little lonely without anyone around me.

So she wasn't in the mood to make any New Year's Eve dinner, so she simply cooked herself a bowl of dumplings.

Although there was a natural disaster this year, Grandma Qiao was as happy as a child with Su Keke and Tang Yuan accompanying her to celebrate the New Year.

The New Year's Eve dinner menu includes white chopped chicken, steamed sea bass, fried rice cakes with bacon, steamed swimming crab, braised prawns, steamed chicken wings with vermicelli, hand-shredded beef, and garlic okra, a total of eight dishes.

The staple food is dumplings. Grandma Qiao chops the pork stuffing herself early in the morning. Su Keke dices mushrooms and scallions. The filling of the dumplings is made of pork and mushrooms. Su Keke has eaten the dumplings made by Grandma Qiao last time and she always praised them. Absolutely.

For the New Year's Eve dinner, Grandma Qiao was in charge of cooking the main dishes, while Su Keke was in charge of cooking the dumplings and making pot stickers from the dumplings.

At this time, Grandma Qiao was already preparing to cook the chicken, and the home-cooked method was relatively quick.

Put a cleaned three-yellow chicken into the pot, add salt, onion, ginger, cooking wine and water to boil in the pot first, and remove the foam.

Then continue to cook for about 25 minutes. At this time, the soup in the pot has slowly seeped out the fat of the three-yellow chicken. Drain it into cold water for another 10 minutes.

Finally, cut it and put it on a plate, then mix a dipping sauce and put it on a large plate with white chopped chicken on a small plate.

"Well~Grandma Qiao, the chicken you made is so delicious!"

Grandma Qiao specially left a piece of chopped chicken for each of Su Keke and Tangyuan when loading the plate. Now Tangyuan and Su Keke have delicious white chopped chicken.

"The chicken is not good at all!" Su Keke gave Grandma Qiao a thumbs up while eating.

Dip it in some soy sauce and vinegar so it doesn’t taste too fragrant! Su Keke ate one piece and wanted to eat another.

While cooking the chicken, Grandma Qiao had already steamed the seabass and swimming crab in a steamer.

The other dishes were cooked relatively quickly, taking about 40 minutes. Grandma Qiao also prepared the remaining five dishes.

Su Keke made pot stickers. Under the guidance of Grandma Qiao, they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They were so crunchy that Su Keke couldn't help but eat two more.

The two of them moved all the dishes to the big long table in the restaurant.

Coke, Wanglaoji, and fruit wines in various colors were put on the table.

Su Ke made a luxurious fruit platter using free space of cherries, strawberries, blueberries, pineapples, kiwis, watermelons and other fruits.

"I always feel like there's something missing?" Grandma Qiao said suddenly.

"Firecrackers! Firecrackers!"

"It's a pity that we didn't stock up!" Su Keke said in disappointment.

"Spring Festival Gala! The Spring Festival Gala is missing!"

"Keke, have you downloaded the Spring Festival Gala?" Grandma Qiao asked excitedly.
