Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode
Chapter 82 New Year's Eve
It is not advisable to eat too much for dinner, and Liao Chu and Guoguo have been a little unhappy these two days, and their appetites are poor, so they only made stewed beef brisket with tomatoes as a main course.
Add some crisp pickled cucumbers, spicy cabbage, air-dried radish sticks and other side dishes from the jar, which are quite delicious.
But now that there are more people, it seems that they are suddenly reunited.
Even the appetite of running away from home for a few days seems to rush back to celebrate the New Year.
Not adding one is really unreasonable.
Yu Yu quarreled with Guoguo for a while, strolled over with his hands behind his back, poked his head out from behind him, "What are you doing delicious?"
Guoguo followed suit, and probed from the other side, "What delicious food?"
Liao Chu looked at him, then at Guoguo, his heart that had been drifting for several days suddenly settled down.
Everyone is ready.
"Tomato brisket."
After simmering for a while, the soup became thicker, and when the bubbles exploded, it became more lingering.
The sweet and sour aroma floats out from the stew pot, as if the beef brisket has become a little fresh.
One big and one small took a deep breath.
It smells so good!
That's it!
Although Liao Chu hadn't done it before, it was just like this, so it couldn't be wrong!
"Add sauerkraut and pork stewed vermicelli." Liao Chu soaked the vermicelli first, then turned to get the sauerkraut.
This dish doesn't take too long. When the beef brisket is stewed, it will almost be out of the pot.
Yu Yu glanced at him, and couldn't hide a smile in his eyes.
This is what I promised myself before.
Several jars of pickled vegetables were placed on the cold balcony on the shaded side.
That small piece is not heated, and it can just be used to store the grain reserves for the winter.
It was the first time Yu Yu followed in.
As soon as he stepped in, the cold air with a strong and strange fragrance rushed towards him, causing him to shrink his neck instinctively, and pressed Guoguo to his back again.
"Cold, be careful of catching a cold."
The little girl grabbed the corner of his clothes and kept poking her head.
Guoguo wants to see it too!
Yu Yu himself also hid half of his body behind the door, poked his head to see, and was immediately overwhelmed by the grand scene, "Wow, there are so many, can we divide them?"
There is also a drying rack above the balcony.
It is not sunny here, so clothes cannot be dried naturally, but it is an excellent place for air-dried things that need strong airflow and light protection.
Under the four slender clotheslines, there are many air-dried chickens and ducks, sausages of three flavors, smoked bacon, etc. hanging densely, exuding a faint aroma.
They lurk quietly in the night, surprisingly calm, seeming to carry a certain aloofness.
Because they understand that they will burst out with the ultimate delicacy only by the skillful hands of the chef in the future.
The chunky pickle jars below are crowded together, and they are the same height, short, fat, and thin.
If you just look at it from the outside, you really can't tell the difference.
But the chef knows.
In their eyes, every change here is as clear as ink dots on white paper.
"The first one on the left is salted duck eggs, and the one on the right is preserved eggs, salted eggs, spicy cabbage, radish strips, fermented bean curd, mustard greens..."
Liao Chu didn't even need to look at it, it was like a treasure.
He knew exactly when which jar was pickled, when it was ready to eat, and when the taste was the best.
These simple, unremarkable delicacies all play an important role in his daily life.
Yu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
As long as anyone has anything to do with eating, this person is indeed a bit obsessive-compulsive.
Those dry goods are almost the same size, even the fat and thin are extremely close, lined up together, neatly like an army.
As for the pickle jars below, they were polished to a shine, and even the patterns facing outward were at the same angle...
Seeing this, Yu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Liao Chu turned his face, showing some doubts:
What are you laughing at?
Yu Yu was startled, and suddenly laughed even harder.
Liao Chu: "???"
He could only see the sour-sweet orange-red emotions permeating the other person's body, and he should be in a good mood.
But why?
Mr. Liao was puzzled.
Seeing that there was no answer, I had to put it on hold for the time being.
He rolled up his sleeves, exposing his smooth forearms, bent down, and fished out a pickled cabbage jar from the far right.
The strong sour smell seemed to have a shape, with sharp thorns, piercing the nasal cavity unexpectedly.
Both Yu Yu and Guoguo let out a wow, drooling, "It's so sour!"
Liao Chu was helpless, "I asked you to wait inside."
As he said that, he made a gesture to push the sauerkraut in front of them.
Yu Yu and Guoguo ran away in horror.
Sour sour.
It's so sour that my mouth is watering.
Liao Chu closed the door with a smile, cut half a piece of stewed vermicelli, and put the rest in a crisper in the refrigerator.
Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Tomorrow, you can make sauerkraut and pork dumplings, which is suitable for the Spring Festival when big fish and big meat are reconciled.
The sauerkraut that has just been taken out cannot be stewed directly in the pot.
Too red.
Chef Liao instructed Mr. Yu to take a basin of clean water and rinse it several times before shredding it quickly.
The sauerkraut is less pungent after being rinsed.
But that refreshing taste is getting longer and longer.
What a good sauerkraut!
The dumplings fell to the ground. Since I ate dumplings when I left, a bowl of noodles is naturally indispensable tonight.
Liao Chu had nothing to do these days, but he also made some ramen.
There are plain flour, some with vegetable juice, some with bean flour, colorful, and they are all stored in the refrigerator.
When you are ready to be lazy and move around, cook it in broth.
Just add some small green vegetables or something, it is delicious.
Unexpectedly, before I was completely lazy at home, I used the reserved ramen first.
Dig a spoonful of lard paste into the bottom of the pot, watch the milky white solid gradually melt, and then add some chopped green onion to sauté.
Seemingly simple, but in fact, the lard and green onion noodles are ready.
Rice is always delicious in other people's bowls.
Guoguo watched eagerly, and tentatively raised his arm, "Guoguo also wants to eat noodles!"
Yu Yu picked up some chopsticks for her.
It is delicious to eat directly, and pouring a spoonful of thick tomato and beef brisket soup can make people beautiful.
Experienced cooks will cut tomatoes into two sizes.
The small part is bound to melt into the soup, creating a sweet and sour soup base; while the large part is boiled to fuzzy edges, like lumps of tomato sauce.
The beef brisket is stewed so tender, delicate and soft, it melts in the mouth.
Watching the noodles being dyed a festive light red, two mouthfuls of sizzling, the whole stomach is also benefited.
Stewed vermicelli with sauerkraut and pork, a staple in Northeast cuisine, the local common people come here every few times in winter, that is not a serious meal.
Before cooking, who would have thought that honest pork and "sour" sauerkraut would be a perfect match?
The sweet potato vermicelli is full of soup, glutinous and elastic, it is simply another kind of noodles!
In fact, if you really want to talk about "color, fragrance", this dish seems to be a little bit lacking no matter where it is:
Its appearance is not beautiful enough, its aroma is not strong enough, and even its taste is not guaranteed to be the best.
But unfortunately, one sip will make people feel at ease.
That simple, heavy sense of belonging seems to come from the land.
You know, you're home.
The three of them talked and laughed, unaware that time flew by.
Guoguo was young and couldn't hold on to sleepiness. Just after ten o'clock, Guoguo slumped on the sofa, and was about to fall asleep completely, with only one breath left.
Liao Chu carried her back to the bedroom.
In a daze, the little girl muttered, "It's delicious..."
Once touched by the quilt, Guoguo skillfully wrapped herself up, revealing only a furry head.
The legs hidden under the quilt kicked a few times.
Liao Chu laughed.
This is the height of a child.
When he went out, he was surprised to find that Yu Yu was also leaning on the sofa and fell asleep.
After a day of running around, I was really exhausted.
Standing by the side, Liao Chu unconsciously recalled the hug a few hours ago.
Until now, the smell of shower gel on the other party seems to be lingering in his nose.
A very common one, but mixed with him, it becomes unique.
As if aware of the gaze in his sleep, Yu Yu's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and his eyelids were slowly pulled up, revealing a pair of amber eyes that seemed half awake.
He habitually looked around, and felt a little embarrassed when he met Liao Chu's gaze.
I am asleep? !
Because of sleepiness, the young man's eyes seemed to be covered with mist, like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, hazy and lingering.
Liao Chu's fingers suddenly curled up, and his eyes darkened a bit.
Yu Yu rubbed his face, trying to dispel sleepiness, but couldn't help but yawned.
"Well, I should go back too."
He stood up, hesitated, and staggered out.
The wheels of the suitcase rolled over the floor tiles, making a small friction sound.
The voice is not loud, but it makes people's heart tremble.
Liao Chu frowned.
"There are guest rooms here."
He suddenly spoke up.
Yu Yu stopped instinctively, his heart stopped beating for a moment.
An unspeakable ambiguity quickly appeared in the air.
Like gelatinous, it brings frictional heat to one's breath.
Liao Chu felt that his throat was a little dry.
But because of his personality and experience, his expression looked damn calm instead.
"It's too late. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We agreed to celebrate the New Year together..."
So, I think you don't need to rush back.
The hug after the reunion came unexpectedly, like the eruption of lava that had been accumulated for a long time.At this moment, it cooled down, but it was a little subtly cramped.
Like a slingshot rubber band being pulled up, there is still a little time left before the next attack.
Yu Yu's eyes widened slightly, and his fingers tightened on the handle of the suitcase.
Stay, stay overnight? !
No, why are you nervous?
It's just a simple stay!
Going back now is really too much trouble. When I left, I was afraid of falling dust, so I put away all the sheets. Now that I go back, I have to work again...
And there happened to be a change of clothes in the suitcase... Man, why bother?
Right, that is it.
Yu Yu quickly convinced himself and tried to make himself look more natural.
"Cough," he cleared his throat, pretending to be calm with a hot face, "that's troublesome."
Liao Chu clearly saw that the color of the emotional layer around him continued to deepen, and finally turned into a dazzling honey color.
The center is a bit purple.
There was a sweet smell in the air that only he could smell.
It's so sweet.
So it was decided.
After he settled down, Liao Chu felt much more at ease.
He helped dig out the quilt from the top cabinet and spread it out, "You know the location of the bathroom..."
It is not once or twice to eat here.
"Oh."
Yu Yu's eyes wandered, and he subconsciously fanned the wind with his palm.
The heat was too high, and my face was a little hot.
Liao Chu opened his mouth, trying to find something else to ask, but he couldn't.
The light fell from the top of his head, casting two thick shadows under the well-curved browbones, and no emotion could be seen in the eyes covered by eyelashes.
Yu Yu rubbed his nose, "Well, it's very late."
Liao Chu blinked extremely slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Then go to bed early..."
After the door of the guest bedroom was closed, Liao Chu stood there for a few seconds.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the door was pushed open again from the inside.
Yu Yu squeezed his head out of the gap, quickly said good night, and quickly retracted.
Liao Chu was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
Both of them thought they would stay up all night because of that hug, because of staying overnight, because of these small changes.
On the contrary, everyone slept soundly.
Early the next morning, when he opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, Yu Yu's sanity gradually returned.
Ah, I'm staying at his house.
Thinking of this, the blood in his whole body began to surge.
"Hmm~"
Yu Yu pulled the quilt to cover his chin, nose, and eyes little by little, and finally curled himself into a ball slowly.
We hugged.
There was a little bit of sweetness in his heart, and he suddenly felt that even if there is no family, there is nothing wrong with celebrating the New Year.
seven o 'clock.
For those on vacation, it's still early.
But Liao Chu must have already woken up.
Yu Yu lost all sleepiness in an instant.
He is a carp.
did not get up.
I had no choice but to switch to a lazy donkey to roll around, and then walked to the door stepping on slippers.
He grabbed the doorknob, took a light breath, and then pulled it away a little bit, poking his head out.
Hey?
Yu Yu froze for a moment.
It was quiet, and the lights were not turned on. It didn't look like someone got up at all.
He scratched his messy hair and went to wash in doubt.
While rinsing his mouth, he heard the slight sound of the lock turning from the entrance, and the next moment, Liao Chu came in dragging a small trailer.
The two looked at each other, and both were stunned for a while.
"where did you go?"
"Why don't you get more sleep?"
The overly neat question made the two of them stunned for a while, and then they both laughed.
The air seemed to liven up instantly.
Guoguo hasn't risen yet.
Yu Yu quickly spit out the foam in his mouth, walked over on tiptoe, and found two huge incubators on the trailer, "What?"
On New Year's Eve, the express delivery should also be on holiday, right?
Liao Chu took off his coat and directly stacked the two boxes together and moved them to the kitchen.
"Fried goods."
The Spring Festival of northerners must be inseparable from all kinds of explosives:
Fried lotus root clips, fried meatballs, radish balls, egg tofu balls, fried crispy meat, fried mushrooms!
Liao Chu opened the incubator.
Strong oily and meaty aroma.
And the curling heat.
Yu Yu looked at it with his head, and gasped in surprise.
Really a lot of fried goods!
"Did you go to the store to fry it?"
Liao Chu nodded.
The fumes from the croquettes are too large, and the range hoods used in ordinary households are not powerful enough, and it is easy to make the house smoky.
And he didn't want to disturb the sweet dreams of the big and the small, so he simply went to the store.
Seeing Yu Yu staring eagerly, Liao Chu laughed, took a little of each kind, made a big plate, and stuffed it into his arms.
Yu Yu happily picked it up, "Have you eaten yet?"
Liao Chu actually tasted it, but when the words came to his lips, they suddenly became "no".
The shame of lying is intertwined with a certain expectation, like vines in the wilderness, spreading wildly.
Yu Yu smoothly poked one and handed it to his mouth.
Liao Chuyi lowered his head and bit it.
"Is it delicious? What kind of meatballs are those?" Yu Yu ate one himself, "Wow, radish meatballs, I love them so much!"
Liao Chu poked an egg tofu ball with a bamboo stick, "This is it."
Yu Yu quickly swallowed the radish balls in his mouth, and ate them in one gulp.
Wow oh oh, it tastes like tofu!
So fragrant tofu flavor!
Tofu can also be croquettes?
The two of you take one piece and I eat one piece, and quickly finish eating a plate of fried goods.
A little full.
Liao Chu took out a pot of hawthorn juice, held back a smile and raised his hand at him.
Yu Yu beat the ground silently, pretending to be bold and said: "One whole!"
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help laughing.
No wonder some people gain ten catties after the Spring Festival!
Today he also understood.
If it goes on like this, it will probably weigh more than ten catties...
Yu Yu thought this was all.
Unexpectedly, fried goods are just the beginning.
Next, he was dumbfounded and witnessed the birth of yellow rice cakes and white rice cakes.
Liao Chu even told himself that the third year of junior high school would hold a cooking competition at West Bay Resort, and when he was invited to be a judge, there was still bacon cooking in the pot.
As the chef who is developing in Qingjiang City and is probably the most popular chef this year, Liao Chu is bound to be on the invitation list.
"Ah, it's the resort in Weitang?"
Yu Yu remembered.
When he said this, he was still holding a chopstick in his hand, and a small ball of yellow rice cake was wrapped around the tip of the chopstick.
The yellow rice cake is steamed after mixing millet noodles and sweet potatoes. A little red dates are put in the middle. The finished product is soft and sticky, very sweet.
Liao Chu nodded, "It should be quite interesting, do you want to watch it?"
For the Chinese New Year, it’s okay to stay at home.
Yu Yu blinked, "Do you have a ticket?"
As a famous tourist capital city, Qingjiang City has been building momentum for the cooking competition for more than half a month, and the popularity is very high.
It chose the time period just right:
The Chinese New Year is over, and the vacation is not over yet. I don’t know what to do, why not go to the game.
The judges were divided into professional judges like Liao Chu and ordinary judges.
Needless to say, the professional judges are all invited by the organizer.
Ordinary judges, suitable for all ages, need to go through a series of registration and lottery procedures.
I heard that nearly [-] people have signed up, but there are only [-] places.
Liao Chu raised his eyebrows, a little pride appeared in his eyes, "Privilege of the judges."
There are places for family members and relatives and friends.
Yu Yu waved his chopsticks and rice cakes "angrily", "Damn privileged class!"
he likes!
The two laughed together on the sofa.
Later, Liao Chu showed Yu Yu and Guoguo, who had just woken up, the last big killer of the year:
Buddha jumped over the wall.
The ingredients are prepared early, and all the ingredients that should be soaked are also soaked.
Abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, tendons, mushrooms, scallops, etc. start to be busy in the morning, and it takes several hours to get a can of mellow and delicious Buddha Jumping Wall in the evening.
Yu Yu looked at the ingredients, and thought that there are so many good things, even the boiled belt is delicious!
As if making an appointment, Liao Chu had just put the clay pot on the fire when Huang Lie and Liu Xi sent news one after another.
The content can't be said to be very similar, but it can only be said to be exactly the same:
"What's for New Year's Eve dinner?"
Liao Chu silently took a picture of a clay pot and sent it to him, succinctly:
"Buddha jumps over the wall."
Compared with Liu Xi's three exclamation marks, Huang Lie is obviously more sincere.
"day!"
Liao Chu automatically translated it as a desire for a sunny day.
A few minutes later, Huang Lie's voice flew over:
"In the third day of junior high school, we went to Cengfan, and Buddha jumped over the wall. That idiot drank like others, and his stomach hurt all day long..."
Liao Chu raised his eyebrows.
Yo, you're promising, and you've learned how to drink?
Later, Liao Chu smiled and shared Liu Xi's inhuman complaints with Yu Yu:
"Damn it, why are there so many people! The beach is packed like dumplings... VIP? All fucking VIPs!
It takes half an hour to wait for the meal, and the first dish is on CD-ROM, and the next one is still far away. We Qianqian are hungry and thin! "
Yu Yu laughed so hard that he rolled on the sofa.
After laughing, he remembered another thing, "By the way, isn't the documentary filmed by Director Qi An going to be released?"
Liao Chu nodded, "It starts on the fifth day of the first lunar month."
It's all very concentrated.
That set of films was finally named "Baiwei", which really made Qi'an get it to be broadcast on CCTV, and it was released online simultaneously.
The hottest two days before and after the Spring Festival are definitely gone, and I have to save it for the Spring Festival Gala and CCTV's own party.
In order to keep the prime time, we had to put it on the fifth day.
It's also very good.
It is said that there are a total of ten episodes, and the material of Liao Kee Restaurant was compressed into one episode, but the duration was extended from 45 minutes to one hour.
Five episodes have been cut out of the finished product, which will be aired every Friday at [-]:[-] pm, and the rest will be aired while filming.
Guoguo didn't know the effect of the show, but vaguely realized that it was good news, so she volunteered to perform a show for everyone.
Liao Chu and Yu Yu gave warm applause, and then admired the broken song "The Moon Reflected in Two Springs" with strange expressions.
Listen to "Erquan Yingyue" on New Year's Eve, um, it's pretty good.
Later, when Liao Chu went to see Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Yu Yu took Guoguo to play.
The word "Chinese New Year" is almost synonymous with depravity.
The two drew pictures, watched cartoons, and learned a few Chinese and English words by the way, and finally laid their dead bodies on the sofa neatly.
Playing also requires physical strength.
Yu Yu felt as if something was pressing on his lower back.
With a backhand touch, the remote control.
After it was turned on, the first TV station that jumped out was playing a light family comedy.
Made at a low cost, but the effect is very good, it can be regarded as the dark horse of this year.
This passage happened to be about the protagonist couple having a baby, and the dual-employee situation forced them to hire an aunt, and then a series of jokes were made.
Yu Yu was about to laugh, but Guoguo suddenly said, "No auntie!"
Yu Yu was startled, and immediately thought of the scene of the little girl crying on the phone when he went out a few days ago.
Speaking of it, Guoguo seems to have unexpected resistance to the profession of "auntie".
something wrong.
Behind the seemingly unreasonable behavior of children, there are often traces to follow.
What's more, she is not the kind of child who will lose her temper indiscriminately.
Yu Yu turned over and sat up, looked into Guoguo's eyes and asked:
"Guoguo, can you tell me why you don't like Auntie so much?"
The little girl changed her joy just now, pursed her lips hard, and her eyes gradually became watery.
She shook her head.
Yu Yu sighed, "Don't you want to say it?"
Guoguo didn't speak.
"Okay then," Yu Yu touched her braid, and said patiently, "Whenever you want to talk, tell me or uncle secretly, okay?"
Guoguo glanced at him, the water in his eyes became even brighter.
"Guoguo is not a bad kid."
She said in a low voice, a little worried and a little aggrieved.
Yu Yu's heart ached.
He held the little girl in his arms and patted it gently, "Well, I know, we Guoguo are very good friends."
Guoguo grabbed his arm, sobbed softly a few times, and repeated again, "Guoguo is not a bad kid..."
"what happened?"
Liao Chu who heard the movement came out.
Yu Yu turned around and made a mouthful at him:
"Auntie~"
Liao Chu squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and kissed Guoguo heartily from behind the sofa, "Okay, no auntie."
"No auntie!" The little girl suddenly cried, "I will be thrown away!"
Yu Yu was taken aback, "No way, uncle loves Guoguo so much..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the little girl crying even harder.
She said almost out of breath:
"Wuuu, before, my mother said the same thing before, and then she felt uncomfortable, so she went to her aunt... Later, she had a lot of tubes inserted, and she couldn't move... I don't want my uncle to go to the sky, I don't want to be nobody Wanted child!"
In her heart, the word "auntie" seemed to be synonymous with death.
As long as I find my aunt to take care of myself, my mother and uncle will die!
Both Yu Yu and Liao Chu were stunned.
They really don't know these details.
Yu Yu needless to say.
Even Liao Chu, when she got the call from the hospital, her sister was already lying in the cold morgue.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are nothing more than daily life to the people in the hospital, and they have long been numb to it.
Maybe someone had noticed the little figure hovering outside the ward, or maybe not.
But in any case, for them, the mother and daughter are just passing by.
Not even a passerby.
As for the people at the police station, when they arrived, it was all over, too.
All they can do is to call the family of the deceased and take away that poor homeless little...
No one knows how the toddler, clinging to the worn-out doll, spent the past few hours.
Liao Chu's heart was about to break.
He hugged Guoguo in his arms and said sorry repeatedly.
The little girl hugged his neck tightly, crying until she hiccupped.
"Uncle, uncle won't abandon Guoguo, will he?"
We checked.
Liao Chu rubbed her wet face, "Yes, uncle will accompany Guoguo."
The little girl cried a lot, and then fell asleep.
Yu Yu sighed, "It's a blessing in misfortune..."
If you don't open your heart knot when you are young, you will inevitably become an indelible shadow in your child's heart in the future.
Liao Chu looked at Guoguo who was still crying in his sleep, and said hoarsely, "I'm not a good uncle."
"You are," Yu Yu said seriously, "You are a very good uncle."
If it were anyone, it would never be better than him.
But Liao Chu still blamed himself a little.
I blame myself for not discovering it earlier, I blame myself for not being strong enough in those years to find my sister in time...
When the two left the room later, the atmosphere was a little dull.
Yu Yu patted him on the shoulder, wanting to comfort him but couldn't say anything.
Empathy doesn't really exist.
Because you can never really become another person, and naturally, you can't fully understand the other person's mood.
He opened his mouth, "Do you want to give me a hug?"
When people are sad, it will be much better if they have a hug.
Liao Chu raised his head and looked over in silence.
Yu Yu was suddenly at a loss, and his open arms slowly dropped, "Well, no..."
Before the words fell, the other party's body turned over.
Liao Chu's skeleton was a bit bigger than Yu Yu's, and he felt as if he was embedded in the other's chest.
Yu Yu raised his head slightly, resting his chin on Liao Chu's shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay..."
He raised his hand and caressed the other person's back over and over again, like comforting a sad child huddled in a corner alone.
Fortunately, there is always sunshine after the haze.
In the evening, the nephew and uncle decided to put aside the heavy past.
Yu Yu then heaved a sigh of relief.
They are really brave people.
In the evening, the aroma in the kitchen was too strong to melt away.
Yu Yu and Guoguo lay on the back of the sofa as usual, trying hard to distinguish the ingredients inside, but both ended in failure.
The brilliance of Chinese food is that it can mix ingredients that seem to be completely out of touch with each other, and after frying and frying, they will finally condense into a brand new delicacy.
The casserole filled with countless top-quality ingredients makes a fine gurgling sound.
Tiny air bubbles are formed at the bottom of the clay pot, then rise with the heat flow, and explode on the surface of the soup filled with ingredients.
"Gudu~"
"Gudu~"
The lids were being pushed up and down.
Guoguo cried a lot at noon, and her eyes are still slightly swollen.
But the little girl's heart has completely come out from the darkness of the past.
She opened her round eyes wide, swallowed her saliva, lowered her head to poke her round belly, "I'm hungry."
Yu Yu laughed, and lightly poked her belly, "Oh, we Guoguo are all hungry and skinny."
Guoguo is ticklish, and when poked, she curls up like a little hedgehog.
Yu Yu bent over to squeak her, and the little girl rolled into a ball on the sofa laughing and laughing.
According to tradition, New Year's Eve is to keep the year old.
But this tradition has little deterrent effect on modern young people.
They either simply go to bed early, or run outside to celebrate New Year's Eve.
Even at home, most of them play games online.
Quite a few were caught by their parents to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
But a few minutes later, I was blinded by the dance beauty and lights that were too colorful:
What is this riding on a horse? !
After waiting a year, just show me this?
Wouldn't it be nice for me to chase an online drama?
Yu Yu and Liao Chu also felt the same about this.
On the contrary, Guoguo adapted well.
According to Teacher Yu, children are inclined towards brightly colored pictures. As for the content, that is not the focus of their concern at all.
Fortunately, a finale dish well soothed their devastated body and mind.
After several hours of cooking, there was too much moisture in the room, so Liao Chu opened the windows for a while to ventilate.
It came in with the cool air, and I don't know someone's fierce complaints:
"Fuck, who cooks so deliciously! Be yourself!"
Liao Chu was dumbfounded.
Is it my fault that the cooking tastes good?
There was rarely such a vivid expression on his face, Yu Yu quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture, and laughed again.
Since it has the name of "urging Buddha to jump over the wall", it goes without saying that this dish is delicious.
In front of it, it seems that all descriptions seem pale and powerless.
A mouthful of soup, a piece of dregs, is the essence.
Yu Yu thought about it for a long time, and only choked out one word:
"fresh!"
The wisdom of the ancestors is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
A simple word can finally express one or two feelings in my heart.
Even the most ordinary quail eggs inside have transformed into the top of the food chain.
The top layer was eaten.
Other dishes are fine, but this Buddha jumping over the wall is really a knife resting on the neck, so we have to finish eating first.
Liao Chu's grasp of weight has reached the point of perfection.
The three of them ate two small bowls each, and the clay pot just bottomed out.
This Spring Festival is so complete that it is rare for him to be ill-intentioned.
After a few close-up close-ups were posted, the comments section of Liao Kee Restaurant's talk official account exploded.
Netizens have said:
Be yourself!
There are also many sad reminders, social animals who were arrested and sent to work overtime had to eat instant noodles while watching videos and photos, drooling sadly.
The "Guardian group" and circle of friends have already been bombarded indiscriminately, and Liao Chu chose to block them directly.
Teacher Yu expressed amazement:
I didn't expect you to be such Mr. Liao.
After eleven o'clock, Guoguo, like many people who couldn't hold on, was already in a deep sleep, and in the dream, I don't know how many Queen Elsa came and went.
But there are still many warriors persisting, trying to use their perseverance and perseverance to promise a new year.
Electronic firecrackers sounded one after another outside.
Looking at it from this angle, the fireworks in the area around the municipal building square were also lit up.
That is the only place in the city where fireworks are allowed, and it is even more precious in comparison with the ban.
Today is New Year's Eve, even the cold wind has subsided, blowing on the face, with a hint of gentleness.
The evening wind of the twelfth lunar month is actually a very lonely thing.
It has whizzed across mountains and rivers for countless years in the past, but was powerless to witness the vicissitudes of life, so it had to scream in the empty void.
But even so, it still does not hesitate to offer its own unique tenderness on special festivals.
Liao Chu and Yu Yu sat side by side on the balcony watching the fireworks, and they had a panoramic view of the colorful colors.
The night is thick and the world is big, but the loneliness is far away.
When the clock struck twelve, they looked at each other:
"Happy New Year."
It couldn't have been a better year.
In the past life, they have imagined similar scenarios countless times:
Starry sky, fireworks, mind...
In this moment, everything comes true.
The Spring Festival Gala in the living room is still trying to finish, the oversaturated colors and the stage match look messy, even a little dazzling.
Few people are really looking forward to the Spring Festival Gala now.
But as a sense of ritual engraved in the blood, many people will still turn on the TV at the right time like Liao Chu, and then do other things they really like amidst the noisy background music year after year.
Suddenly, many fragments of memories appeared in Liao Chu's mind like a revolving lantern.
He thought he had forgotten many of them, and then he just lived himself like a rootless weed.
But now, like being swept up by a gust of hurricane, it was abruptly pulled up from the dusty surface, covering the sky and covering the ground.
Only then did he realize belatedly, ah, I also have a past.
When I was a kid in an orphanage, there wasn't any damn release order.
The children would run out in twos and threes, rummage through the wreckage of the fireworks on the street, and if they were lucky, they could pull out a few fish that slipped through the net that hadn't been ignited.
Those small firecrackers wrapped in purple-red paper and the cold smell of gunpowder floating in the air are his only shabby memories of the New Year.
Later, when I grew up, my money became richer, but the excitement gradually faded away.
"Ah Chu, this world is beautiful, you should smile more."
His sister had told him so many times.
At the time he just thought it was ridiculous.
But now it seems that he really missed a lot.
But it doesn't matter, he still has a long life, and he will make up for it slowly in the future.
Liao Chu let out a breath slowly, seeing the white mist crumbling in the cold wind, he was suddenly relieved.
Aware of the gaze around him, he turned his face to the side, and saw Yu Yu's face was full of worry.
Yu Yu could feel the mood swings of the people around him, and felt inconvenient to ask.
The only thing that can be done seems to be worrying.
Liao Chu smiled at him.
Very relaxed smile.
The past is indeed the past.
There was clearly no word, but Yu Yu also relaxed.
It's fine.
The fingertips on the railing touched together at some point.
First froze, then curled up instinctively.
The one with well-defined bones moved slightly, and then fell down a little lonely.
And in the next second, the other hand suddenly moved to this side, and the moment the fingertips touched, time froze.
Liao Chu raised his head and found that the other party was also looking at him. He rubbed his fingertips together, exerted a little force, and grasped it tightly.
It's like grabbing the only straw in the prehistoric universe.
Then they kissed under the night sky,
Add some crisp pickled cucumbers, spicy cabbage, air-dried radish sticks and other side dishes from the jar, which are quite delicious.
But now that there are more people, it seems that they are suddenly reunited.
Even the appetite of running away from home for a few days seems to rush back to celebrate the New Year.
Not adding one is really unreasonable.
Yu Yu quarreled with Guoguo for a while, strolled over with his hands behind his back, poked his head out from behind him, "What are you doing delicious?"
Guoguo followed suit, and probed from the other side, "What delicious food?"
Liao Chu looked at him, then at Guoguo, his heart that had been drifting for several days suddenly settled down.
Everyone is ready.
"Tomato brisket."
After simmering for a while, the soup became thicker, and when the bubbles exploded, it became more lingering.
The sweet and sour aroma floats out from the stew pot, as if the beef brisket has become a little fresh.
One big and one small took a deep breath.
It smells so good!
That's it!
Although Liao Chu hadn't done it before, it was just like this, so it couldn't be wrong!
"Add sauerkraut and pork stewed vermicelli." Liao Chu soaked the vermicelli first, then turned to get the sauerkraut.
This dish doesn't take too long. When the beef brisket is stewed, it will almost be out of the pot.
Yu Yu glanced at him, and couldn't hide a smile in his eyes.
This is what I promised myself before.
Several jars of pickled vegetables were placed on the cold balcony on the shaded side.
That small piece is not heated, and it can just be used to store the grain reserves for the winter.
It was the first time Yu Yu followed in.
As soon as he stepped in, the cold air with a strong and strange fragrance rushed towards him, causing him to shrink his neck instinctively, and pressed Guoguo to his back again.
"Cold, be careful of catching a cold."
The little girl grabbed the corner of his clothes and kept poking her head.
Guoguo wants to see it too!
Yu Yu himself also hid half of his body behind the door, poked his head to see, and was immediately overwhelmed by the grand scene, "Wow, there are so many, can we divide them?"
There is also a drying rack above the balcony.
It is not sunny here, so clothes cannot be dried naturally, but it is an excellent place for air-dried things that need strong airflow and light protection.
Under the four slender clotheslines, there are many air-dried chickens and ducks, sausages of three flavors, smoked bacon, etc. hanging densely, exuding a faint aroma.
They lurk quietly in the night, surprisingly calm, seeming to carry a certain aloofness.
Because they understand that they will burst out with the ultimate delicacy only by the skillful hands of the chef in the future.
The chunky pickle jars below are crowded together, and they are the same height, short, fat, and thin.
If you just look at it from the outside, you really can't tell the difference.
But the chef knows.
In their eyes, every change here is as clear as ink dots on white paper.
"The first one on the left is salted duck eggs, and the one on the right is preserved eggs, salted eggs, spicy cabbage, radish strips, fermented bean curd, mustard greens..."
Liao Chu didn't even need to look at it, it was like a treasure.
He knew exactly when which jar was pickled, when it was ready to eat, and when the taste was the best.
These simple, unremarkable delicacies all play an important role in his daily life.
Yu Yu couldn't help but laugh.
As long as anyone has anything to do with eating, this person is indeed a bit obsessive-compulsive.
Those dry goods are almost the same size, even the fat and thin are extremely close, lined up together, neatly like an army.
As for the pickle jars below, they were polished to a shine, and even the patterns facing outward were at the same angle...
Seeing this, Yu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Liao Chu turned his face, showing some doubts:
What are you laughing at?
Yu Yu was startled, and suddenly laughed even harder.
Liao Chu: "???"
He could only see the sour-sweet orange-red emotions permeating the other person's body, and he should be in a good mood.
But why?
Mr. Liao was puzzled.
Seeing that there was no answer, I had to put it on hold for the time being.
He rolled up his sleeves, exposing his smooth forearms, bent down, and fished out a pickled cabbage jar from the far right.
The strong sour smell seemed to have a shape, with sharp thorns, piercing the nasal cavity unexpectedly.
Both Yu Yu and Guoguo let out a wow, drooling, "It's so sour!"
Liao Chu was helpless, "I asked you to wait inside."
As he said that, he made a gesture to push the sauerkraut in front of them.
Yu Yu and Guoguo ran away in horror.
Sour sour.
It's so sour that my mouth is watering.
Liao Chu closed the door with a smile, cut half a piece of stewed vermicelli, and put the rest in a crisper in the refrigerator.
Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Tomorrow, you can make sauerkraut and pork dumplings, which is suitable for the Spring Festival when big fish and big meat are reconciled.
The sauerkraut that has just been taken out cannot be stewed directly in the pot.
Too red.
Chef Liao instructed Mr. Yu to take a basin of clean water and rinse it several times before shredding it quickly.
The sauerkraut is less pungent after being rinsed.
But that refreshing taste is getting longer and longer.
What a good sauerkraut!
The dumplings fell to the ground. Since I ate dumplings when I left, a bowl of noodles is naturally indispensable tonight.
Liao Chu had nothing to do these days, but he also made some ramen.
There are plain flour, some with vegetable juice, some with bean flour, colorful, and they are all stored in the refrigerator.
When you are ready to be lazy and move around, cook it in broth.
Just add some small green vegetables or something, it is delicious.
Unexpectedly, before I was completely lazy at home, I used the reserved ramen first.
Dig a spoonful of lard paste into the bottom of the pot, watch the milky white solid gradually melt, and then add some chopped green onion to sauté.
Seemingly simple, but in fact, the lard and green onion noodles are ready.
Rice is always delicious in other people's bowls.
Guoguo watched eagerly, and tentatively raised his arm, "Guoguo also wants to eat noodles!"
Yu Yu picked up some chopsticks for her.
It is delicious to eat directly, and pouring a spoonful of thick tomato and beef brisket soup can make people beautiful.
Experienced cooks will cut tomatoes into two sizes.
The small part is bound to melt into the soup, creating a sweet and sour soup base; while the large part is boiled to fuzzy edges, like lumps of tomato sauce.
The beef brisket is stewed so tender, delicate and soft, it melts in the mouth.
Watching the noodles being dyed a festive light red, two mouthfuls of sizzling, the whole stomach is also benefited.
Stewed vermicelli with sauerkraut and pork, a staple in Northeast cuisine, the local common people come here every few times in winter, that is not a serious meal.
Before cooking, who would have thought that honest pork and "sour" sauerkraut would be a perfect match?
The sweet potato vermicelli is full of soup, glutinous and elastic, it is simply another kind of noodles!
In fact, if you really want to talk about "color, fragrance", this dish seems to be a little bit lacking no matter where it is:
Its appearance is not beautiful enough, its aroma is not strong enough, and even its taste is not guaranteed to be the best.
But unfortunately, one sip will make people feel at ease.
That simple, heavy sense of belonging seems to come from the land.
You know, you're home.
The three of them talked and laughed, unaware that time flew by.
Guoguo was young and couldn't hold on to sleepiness. Just after ten o'clock, Guoguo slumped on the sofa, and was about to fall asleep completely, with only one breath left.
Liao Chu carried her back to the bedroom.
In a daze, the little girl muttered, "It's delicious..."
Once touched by the quilt, Guoguo skillfully wrapped herself up, revealing only a furry head.
The legs hidden under the quilt kicked a few times.
Liao Chu laughed.
This is the height of a child.
When he went out, he was surprised to find that Yu Yu was also leaning on the sofa and fell asleep.
After a day of running around, I was really exhausted.
Standing by the side, Liao Chu unconsciously recalled the hug a few hours ago.
Until now, the smell of shower gel on the other party seems to be lingering in his nose.
A very common one, but mixed with him, it becomes unique.
As if aware of the gaze in his sleep, Yu Yu's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and his eyelids were slowly pulled up, revealing a pair of amber eyes that seemed half awake.
He habitually looked around, and felt a little embarrassed when he met Liao Chu's gaze.
I am asleep? !
Because of sleepiness, the young man's eyes seemed to be covered with mist, like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, hazy and lingering.
Liao Chu's fingers suddenly curled up, and his eyes darkened a bit.
Yu Yu rubbed his face, trying to dispel sleepiness, but couldn't help but yawned.
"Well, I should go back too."
He stood up, hesitated, and staggered out.
The wheels of the suitcase rolled over the floor tiles, making a small friction sound.
The voice is not loud, but it makes people's heart tremble.
Liao Chu frowned.
"There are guest rooms here."
He suddenly spoke up.
Yu Yu stopped instinctively, his heart stopped beating for a moment.
An unspeakable ambiguity quickly appeared in the air.
Like gelatinous, it brings frictional heat to one's breath.
Liao Chu felt that his throat was a little dry.
But because of his personality and experience, his expression looked damn calm instead.
"It's too late. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We agreed to celebrate the New Year together..."
So, I think you don't need to rush back.
The hug after the reunion came unexpectedly, like the eruption of lava that had been accumulated for a long time.At this moment, it cooled down, but it was a little subtly cramped.
Like a slingshot rubber band being pulled up, there is still a little time left before the next attack.
Yu Yu's eyes widened slightly, and his fingers tightened on the handle of the suitcase.
Stay, stay overnight? !
No, why are you nervous?
It's just a simple stay!
Going back now is really too much trouble. When I left, I was afraid of falling dust, so I put away all the sheets. Now that I go back, I have to work again...
And there happened to be a change of clothes in the suitcase... Man, why bother?
Right, that is it.
Yu Yu quickly convinced himself and tried to make himself look more natural.
"Cough," he cleared his throat, pretending to be calm with a hot face, "that's troublesome."
Liao Chu clearly saw that the color of the emotional layer around him continued to deepen, and finally turned into a dazzling honey color.
The center is a bit purple.
There was a sweet smell in the air that only he could smell.
It's so sweet.
So it was decided.
After he settled down, Liao Chu felt much more at ease.
He helped dig out the quilt from the top cabinet and spread it out, "You know the location of the bathroom..."
It is not once or twice to eat here.
"Oh."
Yu Yu's eyes wandered, and he subconsciously fanned the wind with his palm.
The heat was too high, and my face was a little hot.
Liao Chu opened his mouth, trying to find something else to ask, but he couldn't.
The light fell from the top of his head, casting two thick shadows under the well-curved browbones, and no emotion could be seen in the eyes covered by eyelashes.
Yu Yu rubbed his nose, "Well, it's very late."
Liao Chu blinked extremely slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Then go to bed early..."
After the door of the guest bedroom was closed, Liao Chu stood there for a few seconds.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the door was pushed open again from the inside.
Yu Yu squeezed his head out of the gap, quickly said good night, and quickly retracted.
Liao Chu was slightly taken aback, then smiled.
Both of them thought they would stay up all night because of that hug, because of staying overnight, because of these small changes.
On the contrary, everyone slept soundly.
Early the next morning, when he opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, Yu Yu's sanity gradually returned.
Ah, I'm staying at his house.
Thinking of this, the blood in his whole body began to surge.
"Hmm~"
Yu Yu pulled the quilt to cover his chin, nose, and eyes little by little, and finally curled himself into a ball slowly.
We hugged.
There was a little bit of sweetness in his heart, and he suddenly felt that even if there is no family, there is nothing wrong with celebrating the New Year.
seven o 'clock.
For those on vacation, it's still early.
But Liao Chu must have already woken up.
Yu Yu lost all sleepiness in an instant.
He is a carp.
did not get up.
I had no choice but to switch to a lazy donkey to roll around, and then walked to the door stepping on slippers.
He grabbed the doorknob, took a light breath, and then pulled it away a little bit, poking his head out.
Hey?
Yu Yu froze for a moment.
It was quiet, and the lights were not turned on. It didn't look like someone got up at all.
He scratched his messy hair and went to wash in doubt.
While rinsing his mouth, he heard the slight sound of the lock turning from the entrance, and the next moment, Liao Chu came in dragging a small trailer.
The two looked at each other, and both were stunned for a while.
"where did you go?"
"Why don't you get more sleep?"
The overly neat question made the two of them stunned for a while, and then they both laughed.
The air seemed to liven up instantly.
Guoguo hasn't risen yet.
Yu Yu quickly spit out the foam in his mouth, walked over on tiptoe, and found two huge incubators on the trailer, "What?"
On New Year's Eve, the express delivery should also be on holiday, right?
Liao Chu took off his coat and directly stacked the two boxes together and moved them to the kitchen.
"Fried goods."
The Spring Festival of northerners must be inseparable from all kinds of explosives:
Fried lotus root clips, fried meatballs, radish balls, egg tofu balls, fried crispy meat, fried mushrooms!
Liao Chu opened the incubator.
Strong oily and meaty aroma.
And the curling heat.
Yu Yu looked at it with his head, and gasped in surprise.
Really a lot of fried goods!
"Did you go to the store to fry it?"
Liao Chu nodded.
The fumes from the croquettes are too large, and the range hoods used in ordinary households are not powerful enough, and it is easy to make the house smoky.
And he didn't want to disturb the sweet dreams of the big and the small, so he simply went to the store.
Seeing Yu Yu staring eagerly, Liao Chu laughed, took a little of each kind, made a big plate, and stuffed it into his arms.
Yu Yu happily picked it up, "Have you eaten yet?"
Liao Chu actually tasted it, but when the words came to his lips, they suddenly became "no".
The shame of lying is intertwined with a certain expectation, like vines in the wilderness, spreading wildly.
Yu Yu smoothly poked one and handed it to his mouth.
Liao Chuyi lowered his head and bit it.
"Is it delicious? What kind of meatballs are those?" Yu Yu ate one himself, "Wow, radish meatballs, I love them so much!"
Liao Chu poked an egg tofu ball with a bamboo stick, "This is it."
Yu Yu quickly swallowed the radish balls in his mouth, and ate them in one gulp.
Wow oh oh, it tastes like tofu!
So fragrant tofu flavor!
Tofu can also be croquettes?
The two of you take one piece and I eat one piece, and quickly finish eating a plate of fried goods.
A little full.
Liao Chu took out a pot of hawthorn juice, held back a smile and raised his hand at him.
Yu Yu beat the ground silently, pretending to be bold and said: "One whole!"
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help laughing.
No wonder some people gain ten catties after the Spring Festival!
Today he also understood.
If it goes on like this, it will probably weigh more than ten catties...
Yu Yu thought this was all.
Unexpectedly, fried goods are just the beginning.
Next, he was dumbfounded and witnessed the birth of yellow rice cakes and white rice cakes.
Liao Chu even told himself that the third year of junior high school would hold a cooking competition at West Bay Resort, and when he was invited to be a judge, there was still bacon cooking in the pot.
As the chef who is developing in Qingjiang City and is probably the most popular chef this year, Liao Chu is bound to be on the invitation list.
"Ah, it's the resort in Weitang?"
Yu Yu remembered.
When he said this, he was still holding a chopstick in his hand, and a small ball of yellow rice cake was wrapped around the tip of the chopstick.
The yellow rice cake is steamed after mixing millet noodles and sweet potatoes. A little red dates are put in the middle. The finished product is soft and sticky, very sweet.
Liao Chu nodded, "It should be quite interesting, do you want to watch it?"
For the Chinese New Year, it’s okay to stay at home.
Yu Yu blinked, "Do you have a ticket?"
As a famous tourist capital city, Qingjiang City has been building momentum for the cooking competition for more than half a month, and the popularity is very high.
It chose the time period just right:
The Chinese New Year is over, and the vacation is not over yet. I don’t know what to do, why not go to the game.
The judges were divided into professional judges like Liao Chu and ordinary judges.
Needless to say, the professional judges are all invited by the organizer.
Ordinary judges, suitable for all ages, need to go through a series of registration and lottery procedures.
I heard that nearly [-] people have signed up, but there are only [-] places.
Liao Chu raised his eyebrows, a little pride appeared in his eyes, "Privilege of the judges."
There are places for family members and relatives and friends.
Yu Yu waved his chopsticks and rice cakes "angrily", "Damn privileged class!"
he likes!
The two laughed together on the sofa.
Later, Liao Chu showed Yu Yu and Guoguo, who had just woken up, the last big killer of the year:
Buddha jumped over the wall.
The ingredients are prepared early, and all the ingredients that should be soaked are also soaked.
Abalone, sea cucumber, fish lips, tendons, mushrooms, scallops, etc. start to be busy in the morning, and it takes several hours to get a can of mellow and delicious Buddha Jumping Wall in the evening.
Yu Yu looked at the ingredients, and thought that there are so many good things, even the boiled belt is delicious!
As if making an appointment, Liao Chu had just put the clay pot on the fire when Huang Lie and Liu Xi sent news one after another.
The content can't be said to be very similar, but it can only be said to be exactly the same:
"What's for New Year's Eve dinner?"
Liao Chu silently took a picture of a clay pot and sent it to him, succinctly:
"Buddha jumps over the wall."
Compared with Liu Xi's three exclamation marks, Huang Lie is obviously more sincere.
"day!"
Liao Chu automatically translated it as a desire for a sunny day.
A few minutes later, Huang Lie's voice flew over:
"In the third day of junior high school, we went to Cengfan, and Buddha jumped over the wall. That idiot drank like others, and his stomach hurt all day long..."
Liao Chu raised his eyebrows.
Yo, you're promising, and you've learned how to drink?
Later, Liao Chu smiled and shared Liu Xi's inhuman complaints with Yu Yu:
"Damn it, why are there so many people! The beach is packed like dumplings... VIP? All fucking VIPs!
It takes half an hour to wait for the meal, and the first dish is on CD-ROM, and the next one is still far away. We Qianqian are hungry and thin! "
Yu Yu laughed so hard that he rolled on the sofa.
After laughing, he remembered another thing, "By the way, isn't the documentary filmed by Director Qi An going to be released?"
Liao Chu nodded, "It starts on the fifth day of the first lunar month."
It's all very concentrated.
That set of films was finally named "Baiwei", which really made Qi'an get it to be broadcast on CCTV, and it was released online simultaneously.
The hottest two days before and after the Spring Festival are definitely gone, and I have to save it for the Spring Festival Gala and CCTV's own party.
In order to keep the prime time, we had to put it on the fifth day.
It's also very good.
It is said that there are a total of ten episodes, and the material of Liao Kee Restaurant was compressed into one episode, but the duration was extended from 45 minutes to one hour.
Five episodes have been cut out of the finished product, which will be aired every Friday at [-]:[-] pm, and the rest will be aired while filming.
Guoguo didn't know the effect of the show, but vaguely realized that it was good news, so she volunteered to perform a show for everyone.
Liao Chu and Yu Yu gave warm applause, and then admired the broken song "The Moon Reflected in Two Springs" with strange expressions.
Listen to "Erquan Yingyue" on New Year's Eve, um, it's pretty good.
Later, when Liao Chu went to see Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Yu Yu took Guoguo to play.
The word "Chinese New Year" is almost synonymous with depravity.
The two drew pictures, watched cartoons, and learned a few Chinese and English words by the way, and finally laid their dead bodies on the sofa neatly.
Playing also requires physical strength.
Yu Yu felt as if something was pressing on his lower back.
With a backhand touch, the remote control.
After it was turned on, the first TV station that jumped out was playing a light family comedy.
Made at a low cost, but the effect is very good, it can be regarded as the dark horse of this year.
This passage happened to be about the protagonist couple having a baby, and the dual-employee situation forced them to hire an aunt, and then a series of jokes were made.
Yu Yu was about to laugh, but Guoguo suddenly said, "No auntie!"
Yu Yu was startled, and immediately thought of the scene of the little girl crying on the phone when he went out a few days ago.
Speaking of it, Guoguo seems to have unexpected resistance to the profession of "auntie".
something wrong.
Behind the seemingly unreasonable behavior of children, there are often traces to follow.
What's more, she is not the kind of child who will lose her temper indiscriminately.
Yu Yu turned over and sat up, looked into Guoguo's eyes and asked:
"Guoguo, can you tell me why you don't like Auntie so much?"
The little girl changed her joy just now, pursed her lips hard, and her eyes gradually became watery.
She shook her head.
Yu Yu sighed, "Don't you want to say it?"
Guoguo didn't speak.
"Okay then," Yu Yu touched her braid, and said patiently, "Whenever you want to talk, tell me or uncle secretly, okay?"
Guoguo glanced at him, the water in his eyes became even brighter.
"Guoguo is not a bad kid."
She said in a low voice, a little worried and a little aggrieved.
Yu Yu's heart ached.
He held the little girl in his arms and patted it gently, "Well, I know, we Guoguo are very good friends."
Guoguo grabbed his arm, sobbed softly a few times, and repeated again, "Guoguo is not a bad kid..."
"what happened?"
Liao Chu who heard the movement came out.
Yu Yu turned around and made a mouthful at him:
"Auntie~"
Liao Chu squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and kissed Guoguo heartily from behind the sofa, "Okay, no auntie."
"No auntie!" The little girl suddenly cried, "I will be thrown away!"
Yu Yu was taken aback, "No way, uncle loves Guoguo so much..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the little girl crying even harder.
She said almost out of breath:
"Wuuu, before, my mother said the same thing before, and then she felt uncomfortable, so she went to her aunt... Later, she had a lot of tubes inserted, and she couldn't move... I don't want my uncle to go to the sky, I don't want to be nobody Wanted child!"
In her heart, the word "auntie" seemed to be synonymous with death.
As long as I find my aunt to take care of myself, my mother and uncle will die!
Both Yu Yu and Liao Chu were stunned.
They really don't know these details.
Yu Yu needless to say.
Even Liao Chu, when she got the call from the hospital, her sister was already lying in the cold morgue.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are nothing more than daily life to the people in the hospital, and they have long been numb to it.
Maybe someone had noticed the little figure hovering outside the ward, or maybe not.
But in any case, for them, the mother and daughter are just passing by.
Not even a passerby.
As for the people at the police station, when they arrived, it was all over, too.
All they can do is to call the family of the deceased and take away that poor homeless little...
No one knows how the toddler, clinging to the worn-out doll, spent the past few hours.
Liao Chu's heart was about to break.
He hugged Guoguo in his arms and said sorry repeatedly.
The little girl hugged his neck tightly, crying until she hiccupped.
"Uncle, uncle won't abandon Guoguo, will he?"
We checked.
Liao Chu rubbed her wet face, "Yes, uncle will accompany Guoguo."
The little girl cried a lot, and then fell asleep.
Yu Yu sighed, "It's a blessing in misfortune..."
If you don't open your heart knot when you are young, you will inevitably become an indelible shadow in your child's heart in the future.
Liao Chu looked at Guoguo who was still crying in his sleep, and said hoarsely, "I'm not a good uncle."
"You are," Yu Yu said seriously, "You are a very good uncle."
If it were anyone, it would never be better than him.
But Liao Chu still blamed himself a little.
I blame myself for not discovering it earlier, I blame myself for not being strong enough in those years to find my sister in time...
When the two left the room later, the atmosphere was a little dull.
Yu Yu patted him on the shoulder, wanting to comfort him but couldn't say anything.
Empathy doesn't really exist.
Because you can never really become another person, and naturally, you can't fully understand the other person's mood.
He opened his mouth, "Do you want to give me a hug?"
When people are sad, it will be much better if they have a hug.
Liao Chu raised his head and looked over in silence.
Yu Yu was suddenly at a loss, and his open arms slowly dropped, "Well, no..."
Before the words fell, the other party's body turned over.
Liao Chu's skeleton was a bit bigger than Yu Yu's, and he felt as if he was embedded in the other's chest.
Yu Yu raised his head slightly, resting his chin on Liao Chu's shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay..."
He raised his hand and caressed the other person's back over and over again, like comforting a sad child huddled in a corner alone.
Fortunately, there is always sunshine after the haze.
In the evening, the nephew and uncle decided to put aside the heavy past.
Yu Yu then heaved a sigh of relief.
They are really brave people.
In the evening, the aroma in the kitchen was too strong to melt away.
Yu Yu and Guoguo lay on the back of the sofa as usual, trying hard to distinguish the ingredients inside, but both ended in failure.
The brilliance of Chinese food is that it can mix ingredients that seem to be completely out of touch with each other, and after frying and frying, they will finally condense into a brand new delicacy.
The casserole filled with countless top-quality ingredients makes a fine gurgling sound.
Tiny air bubbles are formed at the bottom of the clay pot, then rise with the heat flow, and explode on the surface of the soup filled with ingredients.
"Gudu~"
"Gudu~"
The lids were being pushed up and down.
Guoguo cried a lot at noon, and her eyes are still slightly swollen.
But the little girl's heart has completely come out from the darkness of the past.
She opened her round eyes wide, swallowed her saliva, lowered her head to poke her round belly, "I'm hungry."
Yu Yu laughed, and lightly poked her belly, "Oh, we Guoguo are all hungry and skinny."
Guoguo is ticklish, and when poked, she curls up like a little hedgehog.
Yu Yu bent over to squeak her, and the little girl rolled into a ball on the sofa laughing and laughing.
According to tradition, New Year's Eve is to keep the year old.
But this tradition has little deterrent effect on modern young people.
They either simply go to bed early, or run outside to celebrate New Year's Eve.
Even at home, most of them play games online.
Quite a few were caught by their parents to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
But a few minutes later, I was blinded by the dance beauty and lights that were too colorful:
What is this riding on a horse? !
After waiting a year, just show me this?
Wouldn't it be nice for me to chase an online drama?
Yu Yu and Liao Chu also felt the same about this.
On the contrary, Guoguo adapted well.
According to Teacher Yu, children are inclined towards brightly colored pictures. As for the content, that is not the focus of their concern at all.
Fortunately, a finale dish well soothed their devastated body and mind.
After several hours of cooking, there was too much moisture in the room, so Liao Chu opened the windows for a while to ventilate.
It came in with the cool air, and I don't know someone's fierce complaints:
"Fuck, who cooks so deliciously! Be yourself!"
Liao Chu was dumbfounded.
Is it my fault that the cooking tastes good?
There was rarely such a vivid expression on his face, Yu Yu quickly took out his mobile phone to take a picture, and laughed again.
Since it has the name of "urging Buddha to jump over the wall", it goes without saying that this dish is delicious.
In front of it, it seems that all descriptions seem pale and powerless.
A mouthful of soup, a piece of dregs, is the essence.
Yu Yu thought about it for a long time, and only choked out one word:
"fresh!"
The wisdom of the ancestors is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
A simple word can finally express one or two feelings in my heart.
Even the most ordinary quail eggs inside have transformed into the top of the food chain.
The top layer was eaten.
Other dishes are fine, but this Buddha jumping over the wall is really a knife resting on the neck, so we have to finish eating first.
Liao Chu's grasp of weight has reached the point of perfection.
The three of them ate two small bowls each, and the clay pot just bottomed out.
This Spring Festival is so complete that it is rare for him to be ill-intentioned.
After a few close-up close-ups were posted, the comments section of Liao Kee Restaurant's talk official account exploded.
Netizens have said:
Be yourself!
There are also many sad reminders, social animals who were arrested and sent to work overtime had to eat instant noodles while watching videos and photos, drooling sadly.
The "Guardian group" and circle of friends have already been bombarded indiscriminately, and Liao Chu chose to block them directly.
Teacher Yu expressed amazement:
I didn't expect you to be such Mr. Liao.
After eleven o'clock, Guoguo, like many people who couldn't hold on, was already in a deep sleep, and in the dream, I don't know how many Queen Elsa came and went.
But there are still many warriors persisting, trying to use their perseverance and perseverance to promise a new year.
Electronic firecrackers sounded one after another outside.
Looking at it from this angle, the fireworks in the area around the municipal building square were also lit up.
That is the only place in the city where fireworks are allowed, and it is even more precious in comparison with the ban.
Today is New Year's Eve, even the cold wind has subsided, blowing on the face, with a hint of gentleness.
The evening wind of the twelfth lunar month is actually a very lonely thing.
It has whizzed across mountains and rivers for countless years in the past, but was powerless to witness the vicissitudes of life, so it had to scream in the empty void.
But even so, it still does not hesitate to offer its own unique tenderness on special festivals.
Liao Chu and Yu Yu sat side by side on the balcony watching the fireworks, and they had a panoramic view of the colorful colors.
The night is thick and the world is big, but the loneliness is far away.
When the clock struck twelve, they looked at each other:
"Happy New Year."
It couldn't have been a better year.
In the past life, they have imagined similar scenarios countless times:
Starry sky, fireworks, mind...
In this moment, everything comes true.
The Spring Festival Gala in the living room is still trying to finish, the oversaturated colors and the stage match look messy, even a little dazzling.
Few people are really looking forward to the Spring Festival Gala now.
But as a sense of ritual engraved in the blood, many people will still turn on the TV at the right time like Liao Chu, and then do other things they really like amidst the noisy background music year after year.
Suddenly, many fragments of memories appeared in Liao Chu's mind like a revolving lantern.
He thought he had forgotten many of them, and then he just lived himself like a rootless weed.
But now, like being swept up by a gust of hurricane, it was abruptly pulled up from the dusty surface, covering the sky and covering the ground.
Only then did he realize belatedly, ah, I also have a past.
When I was a kid in an orphanage, there wasn't any damn release order.
The children would run out in twos and threes, rummage through the wreckage of the fireworks on the street, and if they were lucky, they could pull out a few fish that slipped through the net that hadn't been ignited.
Those small firecrackers wrapped in purple-red paper and the cold smell of gunpowder floating in the air are his only shabby memories of the New Year.
Later, when I grew up, my money became richer, but the excitement gradually faded away.
"Ah Chu, this world is beautiful, you should smile more."
His sister had told him so many times.
At the time he just thought it was ridiculous.
But now it seems that he really missed a lot.
But it doesn't matter, he still has a long life, and he will make up for it slowly in the future.
Liao Chu let out a breath slowly, seeing the white mist crumbling in the cold wind, he was suddenly relieved.
Aware of the gaze around him, he turned his face to the side, and saw Yu Yu's face was full of worry.
Yu Yu could feel the mood swings of the people around him, and felt inconvenient to ask.
The only thing that can be done seems to be worrying.
Liao Chu smiled at him.
Very relaxed smile.
The past is indeed the past.
There was clearly no word, but Yu Yu also relaxed.
It's fine.
The fingertips on the railing touched together at some point.
First froze, then curled up instinctively.
The one with well-defined bones moved slightly, and then fell down a little lonely.
And in the next second, the other hand suddenly moved to this side, and the moment the fingertips touched, time froze.
Liao Chu raised his head and found that the other party was also looking at him. He rubbed his fingertips together, exerted a little force, and grasped it tightly.
It's like grabbing the only straw in the prehistoric universe.
Then they kissed under the night sky,
