Xu Tong, Zhao Ke, Ding Xiaoyi (New Year's Extra...)
"Crash..."
The yellow waves crashed on the rocks, making a loud roaring sound.
"Buzz..."
The door was opened, and a bored face poked his head out of the door. Ding Xiao had already glanced sideways at the calendar on the concierge's desk.
Smash it, smash it...
"It's the New Year's Eve. Hey, this year... I always feel like something is missing?"
When I walked to the stove, a piece of paper was covering it.
"Xiao Yi, I'm going home to celebrate the New Year. There are some seasonings in the kitchen and I can make them myself!" It turned out to be Mr. Chen's handwriting.
Ding Xiaoyi opened the steamer, and there was only a bowl of cold rice inside.
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi's mouth twitched. His wife took the baby back to her parents' house, and Mr. Chen was not there either. Could it be that he had to eat cold food at home?
At this time, Big Head's head poked in, staring at the cold rice in the pot, while his small, resentful eyes looked at Ding Xiaoyi.
"Hungry!!"{}
"Do it yourself!" Ding Xiaoyi pushed the big face away.
"Forget it, give Pangpang and the others a call and see if any of them are free, so we can get together."
"Dudu... Hey, Xiao Yi, I won't be able to celebrate the New Year with you this year. The Emperor is having a banquet. There are too many people here, so I'm stuck... Dududu..."
"well……"
Looking at the hung up phone, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but sigh.
"Crash..."
Waves of waves hit him one after another, and Ding Xiaoyi felt chilly.
Just as I was thinking about going back to reality to have some fun with my brothers, I heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
When Ding Xiaoyi walked out of the door and took a look, he was stunned. He saw a young man standing outside the door.
The young man has long hair like a waterfall, and has an unworldly aura about him, as if he should not exist in this world, but he is clearly wearing real clothes.
When Ding Xiaoyi was stunned, the young man pointed to the wooden sign hanging in front of the door next to him: "Is the inn still open?"
"It's open for business, but why don't you go home to celebrate the New Year?"
The young man smiled: "Originally, I just walked around and ended up here."
"Come on, come in quickly."
Ding Xiaoyi was actually very happy when he saw this, finally he no longer had to celebrate the New Year by himself.
Inviting the other party into the courtyard, the young man's eyes lit up: "What a beautiful house. I didn't expect there to be such a house next to Huangquan."
"Hey, this is you..." At this time, the young man looked at Datou.
"This is my brother, don't worry about him. Let's go inside and warm up. It's just the right time this year. I was worried that no one would celebrate the New Year with me. What do you call a brother?"
"Xu Tong!"
"Ding Xiaoyi."
After the two sat down, Ding Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed because he wanted to eat something, but his family didn't seem to have prepared anything.
Fortunately, Xu Tong noticed Ding Xiaoyi's discomfort, so he smiled and said: "It just so happens that we are destined to meet each other. I have good wine here, and we can drink together."
With that said, he took off his [Sinking Sand] gourd from his waist.
Seeing this gourd, Ding Xiaoyi immediately became happy: "I'm afraid you don't know how much I can drink. No one from all over the world can get me drunk, let alone a little gourd like you, I'm afraid..."
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Oh, then you must underestimate my gourd. My gourd has three thousand worlds, and there are all kinds of drinks in it. I am not afraid that you will not be able to enjoy it!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Xiaoyi was a little unconvinced. He had never drunk any wine. He had drunk it secretly countless times, including the emperor's royal wine and the empress's collection.
So I brought the gourd and opened the stopper, and suddenly a fragrance wafted in. After one sip, I felt as if all the bones in my body were about to become crispy. Even Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but twitch his thumbs and produce fluid under his tongue.
“Good wine!”
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Just by the aroma of the wine, he couldn't help but call it a good wine. He immediately took out the wine glass and took a sip.
For a moment, the aroma overflows, and the aroma goes straight to the top of the head along the taste buds.
“It’s really a good wine!”
After saying this, Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "It's such a good wine, but it's a pity that there are no good dishes."
"You are guarding the sea outside, are you afraid that there will be no good food?"
Xu Tong pointed to the Huangquan outside. At this moment, the Huangquan was ebbing, and there seemed to be a lot of big things in it. Just grabbing two of them would make a table of delicious food.
Ding Xiaoyi didn't know, but...he looked troubled: "Brother Xu, is he good at cooking?"
The corner of Xu Tong's mouth raised: "I am proficient in the Yin and Yang technique of Buddhism and Taoism. I can cut off the universe. The gods see me as if they are seeing ghosts. I only don't touch the Yangchun water."
"Hey, good guy, I've never seen someone say so confidently that he can't cook!"
Ding Xiaoyi said that he had learned it.
But then the two of them looked at each other and looked extremely embarrassed. Neither of them knew how to cook.
As for the crazy waving big head, the two of them completely turned a blind eye.
Just as the two of them were staring at each other, their ears suddenly twitched and they heard the buzz of a car coming from outside.
Accompanying the buzzing sound was a quick voice: "I saw that Zhao Zilong was all naked. He clenched his hands, straightened his waist, and shot out the gun like a dragon. He went in and out seven times, and finally he surrendered to Chang Banpo..."
"Hey, this cross talk..." Xu Tong sounded a little strange. Is it a typo or a strong accent?
"Ahem, don't worry about these details!"
Ding Xiaoyi hurriedly waved his hand to signal Xu Tong not to pay attention, and then the two of them walked out the door and looked together, only to see a broken Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the door.
Liao Qiu got out of the car: "Congratulations on getting rich and good luck in the New Year!"
"Brother Qiu, you came just in time. I have good wine here. Let's have a drink together!"
Ding Xiaoyi waved his hand, signaling Liao Qiu to come quickly.
"No, no, no, don't drink when you drive, don't drive when you drink, I'll see someone off and I'll leave right away."
Liao Qiu said with a grin.
"Send it to someone? Who? How can you send it to me during the Chinese New Year?"
Ding Xiaoyi asked with confusion on his face.
"Hahaha, you're an unlucky guy who got kicked out by your wife."
As Liao Qiu spoke, he walked to the car door and opened it, and a thin face appeared in front of Xu Tong and Ding Xiaoyi.
The man had a pair of eyebrows that looked like swords, and his cheeks were as sharp as a knife. As soon as he got out of the car, he turned to Ding Xiaoyi and said, "It's me!"
"Brother Zhao."
Seeing the person coming in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi's brain buzzed, and he couldn't help but think of the time on Kunlun Mountain, when he watched Zhao Ke grow old step by step under the erosion of time, and was finally carried into a coffin by a woman in red.
Seeing Zhao Ke, Ding Xiaoyi was moved and excitedly stepped forward and hugged Zhao Ke's shoulders tightly.
"I thought I would never meet you again!"
"Hey!"
Zhao Ke grinned, then raised his eyes, and saw Xu Tongzheng standing in front of the door, staring straight at him with a strange expression.
Seeing Zhao Ke looking at him, Xu Tong looked calm on his face, smiled and nodded towards Zhao Ke.
"It's great now, the cook is here." Xu Tong immediately shouted for the two of them to come in quickly and prepare to start cooking.
Ding Xiaoyi didn't think much, and pulled Zhao Ke through the door. When he looked back, he saw that Liao Qiu had already left in the car.
Zhao Ke hesitated for a moment, but still followed Ding Xiaoyi into the courtyard.
As Xu Tong said, when the chef is here, how can there be no delicious food?
"What to eat?"
Zhao Ke walked into the kitchen, followed by Ding Xiaoyi. He glanced at the empty kitchen and felt a little embarrassed.
Zhao Ke looked back at the receding tide outside and said with a smile: "This is not easy, just wait!"
After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he was seen disappearing on the spot. After a moment, he stood at the edge of Huangquan. With a glance, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Huangquan: "It's you!"
After that, a huge river crab was caught by Zhao Ke with his hand.
I saw that this river crab was extremely huge, the size of a millstone, and weighed at least six to seven hundred kilograms. Zhao Ke caught it effortlessly: "Let's have a feast of river crabs. Xiao B, you go and warm the wine. This one,
Do me a favor and hold this river crab down for me."
"This is easy!"
When Xu Tong heard this, he followed him with a smile. The two of them took the crab to the kitchen. Xu Tong put his hand on the crab's back and just put it down gently, but the crab didn't move.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ke narrowed his eyes and looked at the kitchen knife on the display board. He picked up the knife slowly and slowly. Then he saw the blade of the knife was raised, and the next moment it was pointed at Xu Tong's throat: "I
I wish I didn’t know you, how did you know I’m a cook!”
Looking at the blade pointed at his throat, Xu Tong's expression remained unchanged, and he just stretched out a finger to push the kitchen knife away: "Because, my eyes can see people and their anger, and the cook has a smoky air that no one else has."
Yes, so you must be a cook, and a master chef at that!"
Zhao Ke stared at Xu Tong's face, trying to see some flaws in it, but he couldn't see anything after looking at it for a long time, so he put down the kitchen knife and said with a smile: "Sorry, I was just kidding!"
Then I saw Zhao Ke raising his knife and cutting off the crab's legs with one stroke. After a while, smoke began to rise in the kitchen.
"Zizzi..."
Along with the sound of cooking, the aroma is fragrant and becomes more and more tempting.
One after another, the feast of river crabs was sent out of the kitchen by Mr. Zhao. The fried crab balls were golden and festive, garnished with a young leaf, and the appetite of those watching was whetted.
Crab roe bread, made into rabbits, is so delicate and cute that you can’t put it down.
In addition, there are fried crabs in typhoon shelter, steamed crab egg custard, salt-baked crab meat, crab powder and egg drop soup...
Seeing that the food on the table was getting richer and richer, Ding Xiaoyi looked at the time and saw that it was already twelve o'clock.
"Now in reality, fireworks should be flying everywhere and it will be a joyous occasion. How about we also take a look at this fireworks feast!"
As Ding Xiaoyi spoke, he opened his palm and touched it gently. Suddenly the void was torn apart, and the void in front of him was reflected into the real world. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks came, and there was a grand scene of singing and dancing in front of his eyes.
Xu Tong and Zhao Ke were also sitting on the table, looking at the light of the fireworks in front of them reflecting on their faces, and they squinted for a moment.
It seems that I haven't seen such a grand scene for a long, long time.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xu Tong suddenly thought of something: "It's New Year, how about we each say a few words."
Zhao Ke put down his wine glass and looked at Xu Tong: "Say something? What did you say?"
Xu Tong turned around with a smile, his eyes seemed to see through the barrier between worlds, staring at you who was reading a book in the sky.
"Then say, Happy New Year."
"boring!"
Zhao Ke raised his head and seemed to be uninterested.
Seeing this, Xu Tong whispered: "If you tell me, I will tell you a secret!"
Hearing the word secret, Zhao Kecai immediately became interested, so he pulled Ding Xiaoyi over and said, "Let's talk about it together."
"Ha, I'm indispensable in the first place."
Ding Xiaoyi immediately stood up, picked up the wine glass, glanced at Zhao Ke and Xu Tong, and the three of them said in unison: "Thank you readers, I wish you all a happy new year and good luck in 2023..."
"By the way! Where's your secret?"
"I said, you are not allowed to hit me." Xu Tong took half a step back with a guilty conscience.
"I promise!" Zhao Ke put his hands behind his back, and the Great Xia Ding was quietly held in his palm.
"Ahem, actually...I threw the express delivery at your doorstep...hahahaha!!"
After Xu Tong finished speaking, he ran away without looking back. Immediately after, he heard Zhao Ke roaring from behind: "Bang...don't leave, you thief, take one of my kicks and a tripod to calm the universe..."
