Feng Yi and Bai Lu sent messages asking about ordering food.
We don’t order New Year’s Eve dinner at the hotel, but Bai Lu said before that we can order food in advance and have it delivered to our home.
Bai Lu has been helping out at various restaurants in his family recently, and has been transferred to wherever he is needed. At this time, he was taking some time to sit in the lounge and drink sugar water.
The sugar water they are talking about here is not white sugar or brown sugar mixed with water, but a name for certain desserts in this area.
When Bai Lu takes time to rest, he will add ingredients to make a bowl of sugar water according to his own taste. He has a tricky mouth, and the sugar water he makes is different at different times. His mood will also affect his choice of ingredients.
Bai Lu was in a good mood today and Le Dian Dian was enjoying a short leisure time. When he saw Feng Yi's message, he immediately replied and asked what Feng Yi was doing. Knowing that Feng Yi had returned to Yangcheng and was not busy now, he called
Had a video call.
"Brother Yi, are you really back? I just read the discussion on the Internet. Some people said that you have returned to China. I thought it was those people who were talking nonsense again."
After Feng Yi caught the giant python, he hid in the hotel without going out. All kinds of rumors were flying outside, about serious injuries, and about being investigated for using extreme measures to deal with the giant snake... It seemed true. But when Feng Yi attended
After the press conference, those rumors were naturally dispelled.
This time, after not seeing each other for two days, some people said that Feng Yi returned to China early and the Chinese New Year was coming soon. Maybe he came back to China specially to celebrate the New Year?
Most people online are skeptical about this.
Bai Lu didn't believe it either.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yi would actually come back!
Because of the doctor's affairs, Feng Yi didn't pay attention to the trends on the Internet.
"Are those reporters still staring at me?" Feng Yi said.
"No way, you are a hot topic. Reporters and some self-media are all staring at you. Yesterday I saw an online anchor saying that he was going to Florida to meet you for the New Year. It seems that in the end we can only meet you.
lonely."
"There are still people running to Florida now? Moreover, a plan that goes through a lot of effort is not called an encounter."
"Routine operation, I live in a restaurant in the north of the city. Once I met someone when I went there, ordered a few dishes, posed for two hours, and ate for five minutes."
Bai Lu curiously asked a few questions about the python hunting activity. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year and the family business was busy, he would have picked up his friends and ran to Florida to join in the fun.
"By the way, Brother Yi, how many dishes do you want? Do you want me to recommend it to you? This month, my family has launched a new dish, which was included in the New Year's Eve dinner set by my dad. It is very popular and has a lot of people ordering it. Or
, I will recommend you the latest version of the menu... Is your chef here?"
"He will come back tomorrow." Feng Yi said.
"If the craftsmanship is good, some dishes can be sent directly to the semi-finished products, so as not to compromise the taste."
Feng Yi also thought this method was acceptable.
Some ingredients need to be prepared in advance. Moreover, this time there are 7 people in the family eating together, including Feng Yi, who has a big appetite. Xiao Bing cannot prepare so much and does not have enough time.
Feng Yi came back early without telling Xiao Bing, so there were many things that went beyond Xiao Bing's plan.
It’s much more convenient to have semi-finished ingredients.
Bai Lu sent Feng Yi the latest version of the menu he had compiled. He had compiled it himself and recommended it to many people. There were many people who wanted to order from his restaurant. Those who were familiar with Bai Lu, he
This menu has been distributed to everyone. Some people have already ordered the New Year’s Eve dinner at home, but there are also various family banquets in the first month, so we also order meals from their families in advance.
"I've been so busy during this period that I don't have time to watch online live broadcasts. There's also a time difference between the two sides. I can only find time during the day to watch videos compiled by others."
Bai Lu said a few words, drank some sugar water, and then continued talking.
From the online trends, he talked about his "slimming" koi, and then to his daily busy work.
Bai Lu helps in various stores of his family. According to what he said, he only helps taste dishes, do odd jobs, and run errands. He has no decision-making power. It's not that his father and brother don't want to delegate power to him. In fact, Bai Lu is too easy to be ignored.
People cheat.
"Those people didn't get any favors from my parents and my brother, so they all stared at me! Brother Yi, you don't know, those people are cunning! Some uncle came up with a smile on his face and held my hand tightly,
The extremely enthusiastic tone of his words made me feel dizzy and top-heavy. I just wanted to send him away quickly. I couldn’t react to anything I said. When I came to my senses... Oh? I just agreed.
What?!
"So now I don't care about booking tables and seating arrangements." After Bai Lu finished speaking, he put two more spoons of sugar water into his mouth to relieve the bitterness in his heart, "It's too difficult for me!"
"I see you are quite diligent." Feng Yi just checked Bai Lu's circle of friends. This guy gets up very early in the morning and works overtime at night.
Bai Lu whispered: "There is a red envelope."
Feng Yi was stunned. Speaking of red envelopes, should he also prepare one for several employees?
Over there, Bai Lu was talking, and his father opened the door to the lounge and came in.
"Who are you talking to? You're taking the opportunity to be lazy again!"
"I'm not lazy, I just took some time to rest! I'm talking to Brother Yi about ordering food."
His dad didn't pay attention at first, "Which Brother Yi?"
Bai Lu looked around, came over and whispered: "Feng Yi."
Boss Bai raised his eyebrows. He was about to say a few words to Feng Yi, but someone was looking for him outside, so he had to leave first.
After Bai Lu finished drinking a bowl of sugar water, he couldn't continue to be lazy.
"Brother Yi, just leave me a message when you decide. There are two more houses in your community. If the time is the same, someone will be sent to deliver it together."
"Okay, thanks."
After talking to Bai Lu, Feng Yi asked Xiao Bing about the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner and sent Xiao Bing the menu recommended by Bai Lu.
After deleting and subtracting, Feng Yi sent Xiao Bing's revised list to Bai Lu.
After settling the matter of the New Year's Eve dinner, Feng Yi sent another message to Uncle Ya.
Uncle Ya was staying alone in his ancestral home in Xiaofengshan, so he probably celebrated the New Year alone. Feng Yi thought about it and brought his old man over to celebrate the New Year together. However...
【I have an appointment! I won’t go!】
Feng Yi: "..."
Fine.
After thinking for a while, Feng Yi sent him another message:
[I went to my ancestral home on the first day of the new year.]
Go see Uncle Mute and worship there.
Uncle Dumb: [Got it!]
After the text message there is a voice message.
It's so rare that the mute uncle can actually send a voice message. The little old man can't speak at all, how can he send a voice message?
Click on it, it’s the sound of playing mahjong.
Feng Yi: "..."
clear.
excuse me!
Feng Yi told the housekeeper about Uncle Mute, and he knew that the two old men knew each other.
After hearing this, the housekeeper said: "You don't need to pay too much attention. He has made his own decision. He probably made an appointment with someone for New Year's Eve dinner, and they happened to play cards together after dinner. As for playing mahjong, he can't say it, but he can find someone to help him.
.”
Uncle Dumb can't come, so they are the only ones.
Xiao A and Xiao Ding arrived at night, and the next morning, Xiao C and Xiao B also came back.
In the morning, Feng Yi and Xiao Jia drove out to buy some things and decorate the house, which was a bit of a New Year ritual.
The zodiac sign is about to shift from "snake" to "horse".
On the windows, doors, walls, etc. of residential areas, the faded snake patterns have been replaced by bright horses.
Elderly people often say that the year of one's birth year is a difficult time.
Feng Yi didn't know if this was a setback for him.
In the past year, his life has undergone a huge turning point.
There is misfortune as well as blessing, there is sorrow as well as joy.
The days to come will not be peaceful, but there will also be new expectations.
