After the New Year's dinner set was ready, Liu Huaxing called out to Yang Xiaoxiao, "Little Strawberry."

Yang Xiaoxiao, who was making snacks, raised her head and glanced at him, then washed her hands and wiped her apron, and bounced to his side: "What's wrong with the stars?"

"Come and help me try it? This is a set meal for four people." Liu Huaxing showed Yang Xiaoxiao the few dishes in front of him.

The appetizer is a marinated platter, which consists of stewed beef, stewed lotus root, stewed tripe and stewed thousand sheets, each with four slices.

Because it is just an appetizer, it serves as an appetizer, so the portion should be controlled less.

Yang Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of stewed beef with great interest and tasted it: "This dipping sauce is delicious, sweet and sour and very fragrant. It's a bit like the dumpling dipping sauce made by auntie."

"I learned from my mother, onion, ginger, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, and a little sesame oil to enhance the taste. You can make it spicy or not. You like spicy food, so I gave chili oil for this one." Liu Huaxing smiled. He explained, "Let's try the soup again, the family portrait you want."

Yang Xiaoxiao scooped it up in the bowl, then tasted the soup first, then pursed her lips and smiled: "Familiar taste."

"Familiar taste." Liu Huaxing scratched her little nose and smiled, "Taste what's inside."

Yang Xiaoxiao tasted the squid and quail eggs, and nodded with satisfaction: "Mmm, it's delicious, very fresh."

"There are also dumplings that go with the soup." Liu Huaxing continued.

"Hey, I like the fried dumplings made by my Xing Xing the most. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside." Yang Xiaoxiao said happily, picked up a fried dumpling and tasted it. Cookie-like.

"Why is the puff pastry under your fried dumplings so thick and crisp? It's incredible." Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Because I love you." Liu Huaxing patted her head and teased, Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and gave him a look, then picked up a piece of fish with salt and pepper. Liu Huaxing uses grass carp to make salt and pepper fish nuggets, but the fish maw has only a few main thorns and no small thorns. Even foreigners can enjoy it easily, and the outside is charred and the inside is tender, with a strong salt and pepper aroma. .

"I like this, the salt and pepper flavor is very fragrant." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and turned her attention to Sixi meatballs. In fact, the method of Sixi meatballs and lion heads is the same, that is, they are not as big as lion heads, but they are changed to four.

This is to make a celebration, and it is named after Sixi meatballs, which symbolizes happiness, fortune, longevity and happiness, and sets off the atmosphere of the New Year.

"The meatballs you make always seem to be different from the ones we eat at home." Yang Xiaoxiao said curiously, "There is a kind of fragrance."

"Oh, there are minced water chestnuts in it." Liu Huaxing explained with a smile, "It can be used to eliminate the fishy smell of the meat, and the starch in it can also thicken the meat when it is braised in soy sauce. For making meatballs, Every family has different habits, and some people use ginger."

"Shall we make this kind of meatballs for New Year's dinner this year?" Yang Xiaoxiao grinned, showing her cute little canine teeth, "I think the taste is very unique after adding water chestnuts, and the aroma is also very good."

"I just don't know if my parents are used to it. The older generation likes the greasy taste. After all, they ate less meat at that time." Liu Huaxing touched Yang Xiaoxiao's head and said, "If you like it, I can give it to you." You do some alone."

"Yeah." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled happily. At this time, Yang Chengzhi came over from the outside, glanced at him, and reprimanded him at that time: "Hey!? You brat, you should call me when you are done." Come and see!"

"I'll give Xiaoxiao a taste first, if she thinks it's good, I'll..." Liu Huaxing explained, but Yang Chengzhi didn't listen to his explanation. The dialogue is repeated.

The ingredients and purpose of the dishes, as well as the combination of meat and vegetables and the overall concept are all right.

"The taste is convenient and the combination is from dry to thin to dry to thin. The side dish and main dish are fried fish with meatballs, so that people will not feel full after eating but lack satisfaction." Liu Huaxing explained, "In terms of taste, although the fried fish has a salt and pepper taste, the fish meat is not a particularly heavy food after all, so it will not overwhelm the presence of Sixi meatballs."

"Well, not bad." Yang Chengzhi nodded in satisfaction, "What about the set meal for twelve people? I think we can add a few more dishes to the set meal for four people, and increase the portion of these dishes a little bit , it's perfect."

"That's my plan." Liu Huaxing nodded, "Add sweet and sour pork and braised pork ribs in the middle, then pair it with the boiled fish I developed before, and then have mapo tofu. On the one hand, it can make the whole menu have a few It is a dish with a slightly heavy taste, and on the other hand, this dish is relatively well-known abroad, and foreigners may be more happy to see this dish.”

"Well, not bad. Add spicy chicken, or boiled beef, spicy shrimp and other dishes to enhance the taste. The last dessert is osmanthus cake and Dingsheng cake with small strawberries. This is enough for twelve people. The cooking is ready." Yang Chengzhi nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, tidy up the menu and give it to me tomorrow, and I'm about to start preparing."

After speaking, Yang Chengzhi went out to continue his work. Liu Huaxing turned his head to look at Yang Xiaoxiao, the little girl's beautiful eyes were wide open, she didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and picked up a piece of fish with salt and pepper and took another bite.

"Little greedy cat." Liu Huaxing tapped the tip of her nose lightly, "Your sweet-scented osmanthus cake and Dingsheng cake should also be added."

"Does this mean that I will also come to work during the Chinese New Year?" Yang Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth and asked.

"It looks like this." Liu Huaxing said with a sigh, caressing Yang Xiaoxiao's cheek and said with a soft smile: "You have to pay a little price for cheating on other people's cabbage, there is no way."

"Then I'm the cabbage that was kicked, why do you even come with me?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, Liu Huaxing pinched her nose and said angrily: "Isn't that the pig who came to accompany you?" ?”

"You are not a pig." Yang Xiaoxiao hugged him and said coquettishly, Liu Huaxing patted the back of her head, "Okay, let's go to work first? This is still in the kitchen. The people around are watching, and the influence is not good ..."

"I don't care." Yang Xiaoxiao snorted coquettishly, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, and then went back to work.

After the New Year's meal set was finalized, the entire restaurant began to revolve around the New Year's set meal.

First it was a three-day promotion, and then guests called one after another to reserve a place. But because the restaurant's business is so good now, the number of customers who made reservations reached the seventh day of the seventh day in just two days, and the reservations had to be closed.

The next step is to let the people in the restaurant get acquainted with Liu Huaxing’s new set menus. Of course, salt and pepper fish cubes and boiled fish are dishes that have been cooked before, and the dishes in Liu Huaxing’s set menus are not particularly difficult. For those with decades of chef experience, cooking is not a problem at all, the key lies in the overall seasoning.

Some dishes should be more sour, and some dishes should be stronger, so that the taste of the whole set meal can be matched as a whole.

The restaurant's New Year's dinner set has been finalized, and their family's New Year's dinner is about to start preparations. This year's New Year's dinner is of course the same as before, Yang Xiaoxiao's family and Hao Qian came to their house to eat together.

Two days before New Year's Eve, Liu Huaxing's parents were busy preparing materials, drying fish, drying sausages, buying vegetables and selling meat. This kind of busyness not only did not make Liu Xuebin and Lu Jing tired, but was very happy. This is a rare few days of excitement for their family throughout the year, and it is all thanks to the blessings of Yang Xiaoxiao's family.

"Xingxing! Big slob, still sleeping!" On the morning of New Year's Eve, Yang Xiaoxiao ran to his house early in the morning to quarrel with him.

"Why did you get up so early today?" Liu Huaxing reached out and touched her face, Yang Xiaoxiao's face was frozen cold. Yang Xiaoxiao grinned and said, "Hey, today is New Year's Eve, I want to come to your house for a New Year's Eve dinner."

"What does that have to do with you getting up early? Sleeping until the sun is drying your little butt every day..." Liu Huaxing pinched her butt.

"His butt is not small... besides, wouldn't it make uncles and aunts think I'm lazy?" Yang Xiaoxiao frowned and muttered, stretching out her hand to push Liu Huaxing's stomach, "You're getting up soon, let's go out for breakfast, uncle Did Auntie eat? Shall we bring them some back?"

"Eat it, they usually have breakfast at seven o'clock." Liu Huaxing stretched his waist and said.

"Xing Xing, my feet are so cold..." Yang Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and looked at him with a smile and said, Liu Huaxing patted her side, "Come on, stretch it in and I'll warm you up."

"Hey." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled happily, took off her shoes and socks and put her feet under Liu Huaxing's quilt.

"Isn't it okay? It's not too cold." Liu Huaxing said while hugging the little girl's little feet.

"I just like you warming my feet." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile, then leaned on Liu Huaxing's computer chair, narrowed her eyes and said lazily: "Well... University is really good, there is no winter vacation Operation."

"Yes." Liu Huaxing stroked Yang Xiaoxiao's jade feet and smiled. Yang Xiaoxiao looked at the time and said, "Give me another ten minutes? Let's go out for breakfast when my feet warm up."

"Yes—! Cutie." Liu Huaxing replied with a drawn out tone.

After eating in the morning, Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao helped fight at home and prepare some materials when they returned home. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I picked up my grandma from the new house. As soon as grandma came over, she began to ask about their situation at school. The last time grandma went to their school was still vivid in Liu Huaxing's memory, so Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao talked about their life at school with grandma.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming!" At about three o'clock, when Liu Huaxing was watching TV with his grandmother, Hao Qian also opened the door and came in, holding some snacks, gift bags and other gifts in her hand. A bottle of relatively high-end wine.

Today, Hao Qian is well-dressed, with a white down jacket and jeans. It should be said that this dress is a bit different from her usual honesty. The purpose of Hao Qian coming so early was actually to steal food, so after saying hello to Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao, she slipped into the kitchen and waited to taste the freshly cooked meals. His father would always start the cooking Time to give them a taste.

Yang Xiaoxiao and Liu Huaxing continued to chat with grandma and watch TV here. At about four o'clock, Yang Xiaoxiao's parents also came over, holding some gifts and drinks in their hands. Because the restaurant became the first Michelin-starred restaurant in China with the help of Liu Huaxing this year, so the gifts brought this time were also more expensive, and the two families had a good time to evade.

"Uncle, is everything ready at the restaurant?" Liu Huaxing asked curiously.

"Well, the people on duty have been arranged." Yang Chengzhi nodded, "There are not many people who have made reservations tonight, and most of them are tourists from abroad. After all, people in China still have to eat at home for the New Year's Eve dinner , This is a tradition in our country. But starting tomorrow, there will be more customers in the restaurant, if you are okay, go to the restaurant to help out."

"Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, let people go to work in restaurants." Wang Mei scolded with a frown.

"Oh, isn't that a special situation? It just got promoted to a Michelin restaurant this year..." Yang Chengzhi said helplessly, "It would be nice to recruit some newcomers and new chefs next year according to the new standards. Now it can only be harder, the big deal Three times the salary."

"There's nothing wrong with my family on the first day of junior high school..." Liu Huaxing smiled, and Lu Jing encouraged him: "Go, with Lao Yang's salary every month, you should go for a few more days."

"Hey, where, Sister Jing, you are too serious." Wang Mei quickly smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for your Xing, our restaurant wouldn't have such a good business. To be honest, I still don't think it's okay to give Xing this treatment. I'm sorry. The chefs of two-star Michelin restaurants in the world earn four to five million yuan a year, and it feels as if the child's father deliberately took advantage of him..."

Soon it was time for dinner, and the two families were also chatting about the restaurant.

"Really? It's great that this child is helpful. After all, our family has received a lot of care from you." Liu Xuebin was relieved after learning about the situation. Like the previous years, Liu Xuebin still wanted to be with Yang Cheng Zhi had a few drinks, talked about being a father, and chatted about work and business.

Liu Huaxing actually likes this feeling very much. It is the same every year, but there are also some differences every year. Every year is the same as the two families eating New Year’s dinner together and chatting about the homework and the ups and downs of the year, but there are some changes every year, such as the growth of the children: they have been promoted from high school to university this year, and only their parents are left at home. .

When parents naturally want to discuss their children's absence, their usual life is over.

"At first I was not used to it, and I was the only one left to eat every night." Wang Mei held her face and smiled wryly, "Later, I simply went to deliver meals to the child's father, and ate with him by the way, so as to save a meal." People are at home."

"Hey, who isn't?" Lu Jing also sighed, "Thinking of the empty room next door, I feel like something is missing in my heart, and it took me a long time to finally get used to it."

"Oh, it's like this when the children grow up. Their wings are hard. One day, they will all fly away." Yang Chengzhi sighed while drinking, and his words sounded like mixed joys, with an indescribable loneliness .

"No, I plan to buy a single-family villa in the future, and the whole family will live in it." Liu Huaxing smiled while holding his chin.

"What about me?" Hao Qian pointed at herself at this time, and asked with a smile, "Is there a room for me?"

"Of course you are welcome too." Liu Huaxing replied with a smile and patted her head.

Hao Qian nodded in satisfaction: "That's about the same, then I'll help you with some money."

"Tsk, brat, do you know how much a single-family house costs? Just open your mouth." Liu Xuebin said in a bad mood.

"The house price in our city is currently about six to seven million." Liu Huaxing said simply, "I have a plan."
