Chapter 415 New Year's Dinner Package

On the morning of the second day of the holiday, Liu Huaxing came to Yang Xiaoxiao's house. After all, Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't always come to him. When she opened the door and came to Yang Xiaoxiao's room, the little girl was still sleeping misty on the bed, pouted as if she had been wronged in a dream, and her soft curly hair was messy.

"This little cutie..." Liu Huaxing felt soft in his heart, put the breakfast aside, then stretched out his index finger to brush away the hair on Yang Xiaoxiao's forehead, the expression on the little girl's face suddenly eased, and she looked comfortable a lot of.

Although Liu Huaxing couldn't bear to wake her up, he still leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "Little Strawberry..."

"Hey..." Yang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and woke up, opening her eyes a crack.

"Xingxing..." Seeing that it was him, a smile appeared on the little girl's face: "I said how I smelled the fragrance of breakfast in my dream." Then, the little girl opened her arms: "Hug... ..."

"Grab a small wild strawberry..." Liu Huaxing hugged Yang Xiaoxiao's soft body into his arms, and a gust of warm wind accompanied by the sweet and sour fragrance of Yang Xiaoxiao's body came from under the quilt, which made him unable to bear it. I took a few deep breaths.

"Xing Xing, come." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and patted her side, signaling him to come up.

"Skipping breakfast?" Liu Huaxing tapped the tip of her nose lightly, Yang Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to make out today?"

"Hey!? You lazy girl." Liu Huaxing slapped Yang Xiaoxiao's ass at that time, "Just plan to perfunctory me like this and it's over? Who said you didn't have fun doing it last time? You just plan to have fun like this ?”

"But it's so cold outside that I don't want to go out..." Yang Xiaoxiao huddled under the quilt and said aggrievedly.

"Hurry up, get up and have breakfast." Liu Huaxing urged Yang Xiaoxiao with a kiss on the face. Yang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and muttered something, but she still got up from the bed.

After breakfast, after tidying up the room, Liu Huaxing held Yang Xiaoxiao and sat in his arms.

"Okay, now let me bully you." Liu Huaxing smiled, and sucked the little girl's mouth, "It's been a long time since I've been so clingy, and I've become more and more busy since I went to college."

"Yeah." Yang Xiaoxiao huddled in his arms obediently, rubbing her little head on his face, "I miss it so much, it reminds me of the time when we first started dating after graduating from junior high school, and I always get tired of it looking at you..."

"Like an obedient baby." Liu Huaxing caressed Yang Xiaoxiao's face and smiled, Yang Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at him, "He's also very obedient now..."

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao came up to him and kissed him.

"By the way, do you still remember Liu Chang? Isn't he dating Dong Yue?" Yang Xiaoxiao suddenly took out her mobile phone at this moment.

"The two of them, last year, a semester, dated, came down, and then..." Yang Xiaoxiao said intermittently, because every time she said a word, Liu Huaxing kissed her little mouth, as if deliberately not letting her speak .

At that time Yang Xiaoxiao was so angry that he hit him, and said angrily: "What are you doing! Don't let him talk properly!"

Liu Huaxing kissed her small mouth: "The way you speak is so cute, I can't help it."

"Hmph, I hate you..." Yang Xiaoxiao made a face at him, and Liu Huaxing kissed her.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been lingering, and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when they were finally able to chat calmly.

"What did you say before?" Liu Huaxing asked curiously while hugging Yang Xiaoxiao, Yang Xiaoxiao flinched in his arms, with a smile on her face: "I can't remember... Where did I say it?"

"It's about Liu Chang and Dong Yue." Liu Huaxing rubbed the broken hair on Yang Xiaoxiao's face with his lips and laughed.

"Oh, yes." Yang Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, grabbed her phone and looked at it, "They dated for a semester last year, and after that, it didn't seem to go well."

"Break up?" Liu Huaxing asked curiously, pulling up the quilt to help Yang Xiaoxiao cover her shoulders.

When making this low-profile chicken, Liu Huaxing didn't ask Liu Chang, because at this time Liu Chang was just getting started with programming and couldn't help much. And after all, he also wants to fall in love, so he doesn't have so much time to talk to him. So Liu Huaxing's plan is to do a good job in the game of eating chicken first, and then persuade others to join the team after achieving certain results, which will be more confident.

By then, Liu Chang should have some achievements in programming.

Yang Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's not that...it's just not going well, all kinds of problems."

"It's conceivable." Liu Huaxing sighed and said, "Is it all related to money?"

"Well... basically." Yang Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "You also know the situation of Liu Chang's family. His monthly living expenses in college are only 400, and he can barely eat a cafeteria when he eats at school. How can there be more? What about money and love?"

However, when I was in college, the mentality of comparison among girls was very serious. My roommate had this kind of good things but I didn’t have them. As a result, my desire for these things became stronger and stronger, but I didn’t have the ability to get them. You just have to find a way to get someone else to buy it for you.

And once you get these good things, you will naturally show them off to others. Even if Dong Yue is not affected for a while, he will definitely be unhappy because of it after a long time.

After all, a young man of this age has not passed the baptism of time, and he can't calm down. It is naturally unpleasant to see others showing off. Even if he may not really want this thing, he will still try to get it.

But Liu Huaxing is different. He has long seen through these showing off and comparisons. To put it bluntly, everything is caused by a sense of superiority. If you don't know how to distinguish between "what others have and what you don't have" and "what you really want", you will be dominated by your own desires and sink.

The conversations seen from Yang Xiaoxiao's side reflect Dong Yue's first-person perspective. Dong Yue can maintain a normal mind most of the time, but she still occasionally complains to Yang Xiaoxiao that Liu Chang is not very good about the two of them. Shangxin, even on Qixi Festival, she doesn't know how to buy some small gifts for her. She doesn't have to have a particularly expensive gift, as long as it can express her heart.

However, Liu Chang never thought of buying it for her even if it was a street stall worth dozens of dollars.

"Poor couples are sad about everything..." Liu Huaxing couldn't help but sighed secretly in his heart after hearing this.

In fact, why didn't Liu Chang want to buy her those expensive gifts? It's only 400 yuan a month for living expenses, calculated as 13 yuan a day, and three meals are required, even if you eat in the school cafeteria, it may not be enough.

And if you can't even eat enough, how can you have extra money to buy gifts? There is nothing wrong with Dong Yue thinking so, but from Liu Chang's point of view, it is probably not a good deal to buy a cheap product as a gift with his own food money for a few days.

Of course, from Dong Yue's point of view, her dissatisfaction is justified. After all, she would always buy various things for Liu Chang, fearing that he would be poor in school and malnourished, and would buy him some delicious food and send them to him. Usually, when two people go on dates together, it is basically AA system or she treats them. , it is rare for Liu Chang to pay the bill alone.

"Does Liu Chang work outside?" Liu Huaxing asked, kissing Yang Xiaoxiao's back lightly.

"Yes, basically all my free time is spent working part-time." Yang Xiaoxiao replied, "But later on her birthday, Liu Chang gave her a bracelet of more than 300 yuan, which made her very happy, and it must have been saved for a long time. .”

Hearing this, Liu Huaxing could roughly guess what was going on.

When a college student goes out on a date, it costs one or two hundred for a meal in a more formal restaurant, and more than one hundred for watching a movie. It is normal to spend three hundred on a date. And the two of them are now in the same school, and they have to go out on dates four or five times a month. The total cost is about five or six hundred a month even under the AA system. Then we usually have a meal together when we are in school, and it will cost seven or eight hundred a month.

For Liu Chang, this basically emptied the money he usually earned from part-time jobs. This was just a date.

With Liu Chang's character, it is impossible to ask his family members for money for a date. The money Liu Chang saved from working outside is probably spent on dating Dong Yue. some of her relatively formal gifts

I haven't made money myself, so I don't know how hard it is to make money. Therefore, it is impossible for Dong Yue, who only asks his family members for living expenses, to understand why Liu Chang is so "stingy". Even a street stall that costs tens of yuan has to work hard all day to earn it. How can it be possible to give gifts on such trivial festivals as Qixi Festival, Christmas, 5.20, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival?

"Alas..." Liu Huaxing could only let out a long sigh, but it's not good for outsiders to intervene in this matter, so I can only pray that these two people can go through these disasters smoothly and finally achieve a positive result.

"I hope they can go well." Yang Xiaoxiao also sighed.

"Xiaoxiao, if we are like them, do you think we can persist until the end?" Liu Huaxing buried his face in Yang Xiaoxiao's hair and muttered, Yang Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly, "Why not? I don't mind going out on a date." I will pay for it all. Anyway, my family’s financial conditions are relatively good, so if you don’t have money, I’ll take care of you.”

As she said that, Yang Xiaoxiao turned her head and touched his face with a smile: "You just need to love me, love me, and pet me. This is more important than any gift."

"It's the style of my little strawberry." Liu Huaxing kissed her on the face and smiled, "Okay, get up?"

"No...it's so warm in the quilt." Yang Xiaoxiao shrank into the quilt, "I didn't stay in bed in the morning, so I won't get up now."

"Okay, then hold on for a while." Liu Huaxing touched her head with a smile, and was about to get up first, but Yang Xiaoxiao grabbed him and said coquettishly, "No, hold on with me... To hug."

"You still have to work in a restaurant today?" Liu Huaxing reminded, "Now your father is our only source of income."

"Well... that's right." Yang Xiaoxiao pouted and muttered, Liu Huaxing couldn't help but tasted her fiery red lips again, and said with a smile, "So, wake up? I'll go get ready first, and we'll be there soon." Off to the restaurant, the afternoon rush hour is coming."

Now Liu Huaxing’s income in the restaurant has increased, which means that his tasks have become more formal. The limited supply of set meals must be completed on time, and sometimes Yang Chengzhi will directly "issue" some orders to him, asking him to develop some new recipes .

For example, now that the Spring Festival is approaching, restaurants will naturally withdraw from the New Year’s Eve dinner. Last year’s New Year’s Eve set meal was a relatively traditional Chinese set meal. But this year it has been promoted to be the first Michelin-starred restaurant in China, so the New Year's dinner must be in line with international standards and made more formal, so this time Yang Chengzhi asked him to develop a new New Year's Eve dinner set.

Generally speaking, the New Year's Eve dinner set meal is prepared for the whole family, so the portion is usually more.

But Yang Chengzhi asked him to prepare a set meal for four people and a set meal for twelve people to meet the needs of different groups of people. The four-person set meal is prepared for the New Year’s Eve dinner for the family, while the twelve-person set meal is prepared for the whole family.

This is not an easy task for Liu Huaxing, especially the set meal for twelve people. In foreign countries, it is rare to hold so many people's dinners in restaurants. This kind of multi-person dinners is often held at home. And all of a sudden, he had to prepare a recipe, so Liu Huaxing had no inspiration at all.

"Ask your wife if you're undecided." Liu Huaxing nodded, then turned to Yang Xiaoxiao and asked, "Little Strawberry, do you have anything you want for this year's New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Family portrait?" Yang Xiaoxiao tilted her head and smiled, "Uncles and aunts do it every Chinese New Year."

"Huh? You actually like that, it's not spicy at all." Liu Huaxing asked in surprise.

Family portrait is also a relatively common dish in New Year's dinner, but the ingredients in it vary according to the customs of each place. Usually there are delicacies from mountains and seas. They will put bamboo shoots, squid, quail eggs, pork and various vegetables in the family portrait. There are flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, meat and vegetables, which symbolizes the South China Sea. North family.

But this dish is actually a clear soup with a very light taste. Yang Xiaoxiao, who has always liked spicy food, would choose this dish, which really surprised him.

"Because I eat it every year. If I don't eat this, I feel like I haven't celebrated the New Year." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled.

"Well... I get it roughly." Liu Huaxing caressed her face, then fell into deep thought.

If there is a "family portrait" as the main course, other dishes will basically take shape gradually. The New Year's meal must conform to the basics of Chinese cuisine. The specific dishes of the New Year's meal will vary from place to place, but there are several factors that are necessary in every place.

The first thing is to have meatballs, which symbolize reunion; the second is to have fish, which means more than every year; and then there are dumplings.

Meatballs and fish just determine the main course and side dishes. As for the dumplings, they can be placed in the "pasta" that goes with the soup.

"Then, for the four-person set meal, the appetizer should be a stewed vegetable platter." Liu Huaxing thought to himself, "For the soup, the whole family will serve it; fried dumplings are used to match the soup as pasta; the side dish is fish and the main dish is meat pill……"

The dishes are decided, but then the taste has to be decided. It is definitely not possible to choose light tastes, and the taste must be properly matched. The family portrait is already a very light dish, so for fish, Liu Huaxing plans to make salt and pepper fish cubes with a strong taste, and meatballs into Sixi meatballs, so that the set meal for four people is complete.

As for the set meal for twelve people, it is easier. After all, there is no need to choose between dishes for many people. Keep the set meal for four people, add some braised pork ribs, steamed sea bass, eight-treasure rice, spicy chicken nuggets, etc. Just put everything on top.

Thinking of this, Liu Huaxing already had an idea and began to get busy in front of the stove.

Thanks to the president of 12P, GaoYun, and the monthly ticket longing for the end of the world, and thanks to the president of 12P for the reward
