"That's what I think. Let's all spend money to buy some things, cook together, and celebrate the New Year together. How about a lively and lively atmosphere?" Wang Mo
"Hey, this is a good idea. I'll sign up first. I still have ten yuan here." Yuan Jun said first.
"I will also participate, even though I don't have much money?" Zheng Tong also said with interest.
"Okay, let's all leave some living expenses for ourselves. Depending on our ability, if we can afford more, we will give more, and if we don't have enough, we will give less. Finally, we will pool all the money and I will see what I can buy." Wang Mo
"The idea is good, but who will do the cooking? Everyone here can eat. I have never seen anyone who can cook." Zhong Yuemin
"I'll come, I'll make it, and I'll make sure you can't stop eating. And I'll just make some cold and hot dishes. Let's make the rest of the dumplings together. It's fun to make the dumplings yourself and eat them yourself, isn't it?" Wang Mo So Wang Mo and the other five people took out their own money one after another. There was a total of 32 yuan, which was a huge sum of money. But if you want to make something for so many people and do it well, obviously this amount is not enough.
.
And you have to buy a bar. What’s the point of just eating? There’s no atmosphere if you don’t drink.
At this time, Zhang Haiyang and Zhou Xiaobai came to see Zhong Yuemin. They saw some change on the tables and they were writing and drawing without knowing what they were doing.
"What are you guys doing? With so much money, who wants to treat you to dinner?" Zhang Haiyang
"We are raising funds to celebrate the New Year together, buy some things to cook, and have fun together, but after all the money, it is still not enough, and this does not include the wine money." Zhong Yuemin pulled Zhou Xiaobai to his side and said.
Zhang Haiyang was very interested when he heard about this. He was tired of spending time with his family every year, just eating delicious food and wearing new clothes, nothing new.
"Including me, you don't call such a good thing a buddy. It's so embarrassing for you." After Zhang Haiyang finished speaking, he took out the money he had on him, and it turned out to be 12 yuan.
"I went there, but I didn't notice that Haiyang is still a rich man. Do you usually have so much pocket money?" Yuan Jun asked in surprise.
"No, I don't usually have so much money. It's the Chinese New Year these days. You're welcome, I spent all the money my family gave me. Anyway, I won't starve to death even if I don't have money." Zhang Haiyang said boldly. p>
While several people were talking excitedly, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly took out 20 yuan and put it on the table.
Wang Mo and others looked at her in surprise. Zhou Xiaobai was embarrassed by the look, and said with a red face: "How about you count me in?"
"No problem. Lesbians are welcome. I'll call Wanxi to accompany you when the time comes. It's not interesting to just have a group of gentlemen. Isn't it tiring to work with men and women?" Wang Mo
So a few people started chatting about what they wanted to eat, what they wanted to drink, how much firecrackers and cannons they wanted to buy, etc.
"Stop, if you keep talking like this, you won't be able to say anything until tomorrow. I'll plan the food. After all, you can't do it, so I'll still have to do it. Haiyang, forget about the nine-turn large intestine you just said.
My brother's skills are not that high, how about you eat whatever I prepare?" Wang Mo stood up and said.
"Okay, no problem, I listen to you. You are the chef and you have the final say." Zhang Haiyang
"Okay, you two, Haiyang and Zheng Tong, are going to buy cannons this afternoon. I will give you the money later. Buy them all and don't keep a penny. Remember to buy some fireworks. After all, there are girls." Wang Mo
When Zhang Haiyang heard that he was asked to buy cannons, he said excitedly: "No problem, it will definitely be a good job."
"Yuan Jun and Jianjun, you two go find some sticks and firewood. If you want thicker ones, bring them back. Let's make a prosperous fire together tomorrow." Wang Mo
"Okay, we'll go there in a minute." Yuan Jun
"Yuemin and I went to the market by bike in the afternoon to buy things. We probably had to make several trips." Wang Mo
Seeing that everyone else had tasks, but Zhou Xiaobai didn't, Zhou Xiaobai asked: "Wang Mo, why don't you have anything to do with me?"
"Isn't this because you are a girl?" Wang Mo
"I don't need to take care of you. Then I'll go with you two in the afternoon and get some things." Zhou Xiaobai
After arranging all the tasks, Wang Mo asked Zhong Yuemin to lead him to his kitchen.
The salary of a deputy minister is good. The kitchen is very big, but the pots and pans are not very full. If you want to cook for so many people, this amount of belongings will definitely not be enough.
Wang Mo knew it after looking around. When he came back, he asked the others to go home and bring all the pots and pans they could bring. He also started to write and draw, and asked how many kilograms of things he needed to buy.
How much seasoning, how many bottles of wine are needed, and the soda we are drinking now.
Finally, give Zhang Haiyang and others some money and ask them to buy the cannon first in the afternoon.
After two days of shopping, everything was bought. On the morning of the 29th, they went back to their respective homes, pasted the couplets, and arrived at Zhong Yuemin's house.
Wang Mo also told Li Wanxi that she would come after 7 pm on the 30th and she could spend the New Year's Eve with them.
Wang Mo was busy in the kitchen, constantly arranging for other people to wash dishes and other things. When the rest of the people saw Wang Mo's very skillful appearance, they all sighed. It seemed that there would be no problem in leaving it to him. At 30 p.m., basically everything except hot dishes was ready, and everything like pig's head, chicken, etc. were ready.
All you need to do in the evening is make a few hot dishes and a piece of fish.
In the afternoon, Wang Mo mixed the noodles with the stuffing, and the group started making dumplings while laughing and talking.
Zhou Xiaobai also came over after having dinner at home in the evening, so these are the boys here now.
"Here, Yuan Jun, what are you making? Are you sure this can be cooked?" Zhong Yuemin pointed at the dumplings made by Yuan Jun and said.
Yuan Jun blushed at what he said. He pointed at the dumplings he made unconvincingly and said, "You are still talking about me, but yours is not that good either. I think yours will fall apart as soon as the pot is cooked."
Seeing the two people starting to quarrel, several other people also watched happily.
Zheng Tong proudly picked up the dumplings he had made and said, "Even though I don't know how to cook this, I can definitely cook it and it won't fall apart."
Several people saw that what he was wrapping was two pieces of dough pinched together, like a small pie.
"Hahaha, Zheng Tong, are these pie or dumplings?" Zhang Jianjun said with a laugh.
"Hmph, just don't eat it then." Zheng Tong
"Brother, what do you think of my dumplings?" Xiaolan happily raised the dumplings she made and asked Wang Mo.
Wang Mo looked at it carefully and said seriously: "Well, it's very good. Xiaolan is really good. At least it's better than your brother Yuan Jun's. I'll cook it for your brother Yuan Jun and give it to your brother Yuan Jun to eat in the evening. I'm afraid that he will eat it himself."
I won’t be able to eat anymore, hahaha!”
"Wang Mo, please praise Xiaolan for not bringing your friends along with you. Xiaolan has learned bad things from you." Yuan Jun was not angry either.
At this time, Zhong Yuemin's house looked peaceful from the outside. Those who didn't know it thought it was a whole family making dumplings together!
