Little wealth

The charcoal in the stove was burning red, the soup in the pot was bubbling, and the whole room was filled with the smell of hot pot.As soon as the pot of meat was cooked, a pair of chopsticks stretched out, and the pot of meat was quickly robbed, and the second pot of meat continued.

"It's so spicy, so spicy... so delicious, so delicious!" After tasting the spicy pot, Zhao Hu quickly fell in love with the spicy pot. The meat has a spicy taste.

While eating hot pot, Zhao Hu was in charge of guarding the slate and grilling the meat. Seeing that the meat on the slate was almost done, he turned it over with chopsticks and continued to roast.Ever since he opened a barbecue shop, his barbecue skills have gradually improved.

However, he only has one hand to handle barbecue...

"Let me just say, you guys will definitely like it after eating this." Josh and their little boy who also like spicy pot, after eating the meatballs cooked in a spicy pot, dragged His hand says yes.

"Okay, I'll give it to you, I'll ask for it after I finish eating, I haven't finished eating the bowl yet... Eat slowly, don't choke, there's still a whole table of food, let's eat slowly so we can eat more A little, if you eat too fast, you will be full in a while." Josh didn't dare to give the child too much spicy food, and he even washed the meat cooked in the spicy pot in a bowl filled with clear soup. Feed the child.

is that so?Little Ah Nian looked puzzled, but it's true that Xiao Zui hasn't stopped since he sat down.

"It's like this. Believe me, think about it for yourself. Is it because you are too anxious to eat on weekdays and can't eat much?" Josh couldn't help laughing at the appearance of their son, and scooped it up with a spoon in his hand. A few meatballs came up, and I gave two to Master Zhao, "You eat, these meatballs are delicious."

"I'll come, you sit and eat." Zhao He took the spoon and scooped up the meat for everyone, including several adults and several children.

"My meat here is also roasted, who wants it?" The meat on the slate is also roasted, brushed with a layer of sauce and sprinkled with salt and sesame seeds, Zhao Hu lowered his head and smelled the smell, as expected he roasted it Meat is fragrant!

"I want, I want." Josh was the first to actively hand over the bowl, and came back with a bowl full of barbecued meat. With the chopsticks in his hand, he picked up a slice of freshly roasted meat that was still boiling hot, and put it into his mouth. , "Hmm~" That's the taste, he really shouldn't be too happy today.

Zhao Hu distributed the roasted meat on the slate to everyone, and planned to continue to put the meat on for roasting.

Josh hurriedly said, "You can roast some mushrooms, radishes and celery." After eating a full stomach of barbecue, he suddenly wanted to be vegetarian.

"Okay." Since Brother Mo wanted to eat, Zhao Hu must satisfy Brother Mo's request.But he didn't forget about Fu Lang next to him, and turned to ask Fu Lang what he wanted to eat.

"I can do whatever I want, I'll eat whatever you bake." The wine was still hot on the red clay stove, Chen Yan got up to help everyone refill a glass of wine, and then sat back in his seat to eat, and helped the neighbors from time to time Husband handed something.

"Delicious is delicious, but it's a little too spicy." Zhao Amu was sweating from the heat. Although the spicy pot was delicious, it was really unbearable, so he switched to eating clear soup pot Rinse out the meat dishes.

With a sip of meat and a sip of wine, Chen Tuhu felt that this year was the best he had ever had. "It's delicious, but it needs to be spicy to be strong enough." And this wine is also delicious!

"I can't drink today, so let's toast everyone with tea instead of wine." Josh picked up the cup at hand and toasted everyone.

Except for a few children, everyone else raised their wine glasses one after another, and everyone clinked glasses.

Qiao Xu also clinked glasses with their master Zhao, and said to everyone with a smile: "I wish you all good health and good luck in the new year, and our family will open a few more shops next year and earn more money." silver."

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone is happy in the coming year."

Everyone clinked glasses, gestured to each other, and drank the glass of wine.

After the meal at their house, it was dark outside, the lights in the house were lit, and the two big lanterns at the door were also lit.Most of the soup in the two pots on the table was gone, and the charcoal underneath was still a little bit weakly lit. The meat and vegetables on the big table were all eaten, and a group of people were full at this time.

"I'm so full!" Zhao Hu touched his full stomach, and when everyone was full, he stopped grilling meat.

"No, I'm so full." Butcher Chen burped when he ate, and both father and son sat there motionless.

"Take these leftover meat and vegetables to the kitchen and put them away, cover them, and you can continue to eat them tomorrow." After he was full, Josh asked people to remove all the meat and vegetables left on the table. Then they took several large pots of dumpling stuffing and dough that they had prepared in advance to make dumplings.

After everyone drank a cup of tea and rested for a while, a group of adults and children continued to make dumplings around the table.

A group of people work together, those who can make dumplings make dumplings, those who can’t make dumplings roll the dough, and those who can’t even roll the dough, just stand aside and watch how others do it before learning.

Except for their son who was making trouble, the rest of the little brothers were all learning how to make dumplings.Josh drove away their troublesome son, "Go to the side and play, don't make trouble."

"Yes." Ah Nian stared at her big eyes, pouting her mouth and trying to argue, murmuring that she didn't know what she was talking about.

"Speak well, straighten your tongue before you speak." Josh covered his forehead and laughed uncontrollably, but he probably understood what the son was saying.In the face of the son who stared round and refused to leave, he was defeated in the end, so he could only stuff the child with a ball of dough, "Okay, okay, here you go, just rub it, just make it round. "He has no other requirements for this son, as long as he doesn't make trouble for them.

Ah Nian got a ball of dough, was satisfied, and smiled again on her little face.

The four little brothers got together to learn how to roll dough, Ah Guang and Ah Can all learned it, the eldest Chun boy also learned how to make dumplings, only the youngest Xiao Duan was still a little dumbfounded, watching how others roll dough, and Look at how other people make dumplings, in short, there is nothing to learn.

In the end, it was Ah Nian who saw that the fourth brother was pitiful, and shared the dough with the fourth brother.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Chen Tuhu was hesitating whether to go home or not.

Seeing his father-in-law turning his head to look towards the gate frequently, Zhao Hu saw his father-in-law's desire to go home, so he said, "Father, don't go back tonight, just stay with us for one night. .”

"Yeah, I think it's getting dark outside, and you'll be alone when you go back, why don't you just stay with us." Zhao Amu also persuaded: "There are still several rooms over there between Xiaohu and Brother Yan." Empty room, if you want to talk about me, you might as well stay with us for a few days, so you don’t have to run back and forth.”

"No, no, there are still a herd of pigs at home. Why don't I go back and what will the pigs eat?" Butcher Chen was still thinking about the herd of pigs, as if he was afraid that the herd of pigs would be hungry.

In the end, everyone talked about it, and Chen Tuhu agreed to stay for one night.

A little brother next to him made a dumpling for a long time, and his movements were slow. He only made one dumpling after others made three dumplings.

On this day, every household in Sihe Village had a New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone was happy.The lights are lit one after another, revealing clusters of warm light in this cold winter night, and the clusters of warm light form a large circle, enclosing the whole village together.

The group of people in Zhao's house were making dumplings while talking, and it didn't take long for them to make dumplings with two big dustpans.Seeing that everyone was still not hungry, Josh asked people to take the wrapped dumplings outside and put them away, and cook them when they wanted to eat them.

"Come on, let's go out and have a look." A group of children followed the adults out of the house, Zhao He took a cloak to wrap Fu Lang, and went out together holding Fu Lang's hand.

Being held by this man, Josh had no choice but to go out with him.

A group of children cheered outside, and it was their son who shouted loudly.

"Stay away from everyone, I'm going to light it." There were two big boxes of fireworks in the yard, Zhao Hu called everyone to step back, and went forward with a lighted cigarette in one hand, and lit it with a cigarette butt. Primer.

Seeing the fire rising up, Zhao Hu turned around and ran back, and even pulled his little nephew to his side and covered his ears.

"Bam—"

I saw a cluster of flames jumping up, and with a bang, a firework exploded in the air, filling the sky with splendor.

"Wow..." Ah Nian's eyes widened, and her small mouth opened into a big O shape.

The four boys stood together, looking up at the sky with smiles on their faces.This is the best year they've ever had growing up, with plenty of food, masters, family, and brothers.

"It's so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen such beautiful fireworks." The two little maids gathered together to talk about how beautiful the fireworks are tonight.

Chen Tuhu turned his head to look at the little brother next to him, and saw that the little brother was looking up at the fireworks in the sky.

Hearing the laughter of children and the voices of adults, Josh leaned on the man's shoulder, covered his ears with his hands, and looked at the exploding fireworks in the sky.The little guy in his belly is also aware of the excitement outside, kicking his little feet in his stomach, it seems that he is also a little guy who likes to join in the fun.

"Is he messing with you?" Seeing Fu Lang put his hand on his stomach, Zhao Hu covered the back of Fu Lang's hand and asked in Fu Lang's ear.

"Yeah, it looks like he's a mischievous little guy just like my brother." Josh turned his head to look at the man beside him, and the two looked at each other with smiles on each other's faces.

This night they finished setting off the two big boxes of fireworks, and the sound of bang bang was endless.

In the evening, they cooked a large pot of dumplings and ate them. After eating the dumplings, they went back to their respective houses to rest...
