"Grandpa Han was a little higher than my grandfather at that time. Now he travels on a special plane."
"He is retiring in the provincial capital and usually doesn't go anywhere. He doesn't like to make a big deal about it."
"His sons are very powerful in the provincial capital."
"..."
As Cui Yongnian walked, he briefly explained the situation to Song Sanxi.
Not long after, the two of them walked directly to the kitchen from the side entrance of the courtyard.
The kitchens in Cui's courtyard include old wood-burning stoves and some that have been renovated into modern ones.
Song Sanxi stood in the modern kitchen. When she saw the old-fashioned wood stove over there, her eyes lit up.
"Hey! What a great thing! Lao Cui, shall we use the wood stove today?"
"Uh..." Cui Yongnian raised his eyebrows a little, "Use a wood stove?"
"The New Year's Eve dinner cooked in a firewood stove tastes better, do you believe it?"
"That's true! But there's no one here to start the fire!"
Song Sanxi said: "You can cook it! Just leave it to me as a chef."
"Haha, okay! I also want to feel like I was a child."
Cui Yongnian smiled and handed the recipe list to Song Sanxi, "This is a lunch dish, and there are not many styles. It is mainly the dishes that the two elderly people like, and I am really afraid that I can't make it well. I have prepared all the ingredients for it!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the kitchen chopping board in front of him and put a lot of ingredients on it.
These are all natural green series, nutritious and healthy.
Song Sanxi took the menu and looked at it, smiled, ok, "Here are Zhonghai's eight New Year's bowls, and the provincial capital's three New Year bowls. Come on, Old Cui, let's get started. Let's put the ingredients here first.
Move over. These ingredients are good, and with the wood stove, the taste will definitely be extraordinary."
"Okay!"
Two people, start immediately.
After a while, the old wood stove in the kitchen was busy.
Cui Yongnian, the dignified and arrogant young master of the sea, just lights the fire.
The old stove is also a five-burner stove.
A rice pot, a soup pot, and three large woks all need fire.
Therefore, Cui Yongnian is quite busy.
Normally, his grandfather also likes firewood rice.
There is plenty of firewood for burning, so we have it ready!
The hot water started to boil, and Song Sanxi also started it.
A lot of bacon, pork, beef, sheep, and game must be washed and cooked in hot water.
The materials also need to be cleaned and cut.
He is very nimble with his hands and feet.
The knife skills are superb and the cutting is very rhythmic.
Cui Yongnian watched with admiration while lighting the fire.
He also said with a smile: Ma's is the food culture left by our ancestors. It is broad and profound, more complicated and more artistic than Western food.
Song Sanxi smiled and said: "Aren't there still your grandfather's medical teams and service teams in this courtyard? There are also other family members of your Cui family. Looking back, there must be quite a few of Mr. Han's entourage.
These people, what about their lunch, don’t you care?”
"There is a large kitchen over there in the yard, with medical, service and accompanying personnel, and a special cooking class. We will mainly serve Grandpa Han and my grandpa. When the time comes, only my father and I will go to accompany them.
Have lunch. The Cui family members all spend the afternoon in the city having their own reunions. In the evening, they gather here to have New Year’s Eve dinner together, to accompany my grandfather and keep the New Year’s Eve together.”
"Oh, that's it. Then I'll be here in the kitchen at noon today and have something to eat."
Cui Yongnian was a little depressed, but after thinking about it, he said, "Brother Sanxi, cook well. What if Grandpa Han is happy and wants to meet the great chef as soon as I introduce him?"
Song Sanxi smiled and said, "See or not, it depends on fate. Don't force it."
"You guys have such a good attitude."
The two of them just cooperated with each other, one as a fire cook and the other as a spoon cook, smoking and chatting.
In the old kitchen that is more than a hundred years old, there is a strong firewood and full of warmth.
By ten o'clock in the morning, the aroma had already started to go crazy.
Song Sanxi's cooking skills, excellent ingredients, the buff increase of the wood stove, and the taste are simply amazing.
The entire Cui family compound was filled with the rich and intoxicating aroma of the family reunion dinner.
This aroma has the mellow flavor of cured meat.
Like soft little fur hooks, it arouses people's taste.
The special logistics cooking team over there was originally busy with lunch.
No matter the chef or the busboy, everyone was shocked when they smelled this smell.
My saliva flowed straight into my stomach.
Do you know who is cooking in the Cui family’s kitchen over there?
Why does it taste so fragrant?
It smells so good!
Even the armed police stationed at the sentry post felt uncomfortable smelling the smell!
I feel like I can't hold this water in my mouth anymore.
Near the Cui family yard, more than a hundred meters away, there are suburban families living together.
Every household is busy with lunch.
The children were setting off cannons in the yard and playing hip-hop.
But the aroma of Cui's yard soon followed the dry and cold wind, covering a nearly 200-meter radius.
Adults and children are all greedy after smelling it.
Some children even asked their mother: "Mom, why is the lunchtime meal at Grandpa Cui's house so much more fragrant than the one at our house?"
"Haha, grandpa is a big shot! When he celebrates the New Year, he will have the most powerful chef cooking for him! You, study hard and become a big shot when you grow up."
"Oh, I know, only big people can enjoy it..."
"..."
After eleven o'clock in the morning, Mr. Cui welcomed Mr. Han back here.
Two-person medical team, service team, accompanying staff, thirty or forty people.
The motorcade is parked in the parking lot outside the door.
There are many vehicles, but they are not full.
The parking lot in front of Cui's house is also big enough.
After getting out of the car, Mr. Cui, Mr. Han and others were shocked by the aroma of the noon New Year's dinner.
Mr. Han is tall and tough.
His thick eyebrows were as thick as snow, and his face was full of energy and surprise.
His voice was also quite loud: "Xiao Cui, this New Year's meal is pretty good! I remember the taste when I was a kid!"
"Haha, old squad leader, the flavor in the countryside is indeed much better! It's purer than the flavor in your provincial city!" Cui Lao said with a kind face, but he was secretly shocked in his heart.
Didn't Yongnian say that he arranged lunch? How could he have such cooking skills? Where can he find a chef?
Han Laoyi stiffened his neck and said: "How can this be more pure? The food I ate in the provincial capital was very cold. Compared with the taste of yours, the food I ate was very cold. It was pig food. You are the food that humans eat.
!”
As soon as the old man said this, everyone started laughing.
Next to Mr. Cui, Cui Yongnian's father, Cui Dahai, said quickly: "Mr. Han, dad, we won't stay outside anymore. It's windy outside. Come in and sit and watch tea. After a while, it's almost time to have dinner. This noble man is here.
It’s a good meal, let’s take advantage of it too!”
"Okay! Let's go! Xiao Cui, this time I'm here. I want to eat your food and sleep on your bed. I can't leave until I've been struggling for half a month!" Mr. Han patted Mr. Cui's shoulder, cheerful and excited.
Everyone laughed.
So, a group of people entered the courtyard and went their own way.
Dozens of people including medical, service, accompanying, and security personnel walked to the west to prepare meals for the cooking team.
Cui and Han, accompanied by Cui Dahai, entered the tea hall in the middle of the mansion and waited.
Not far from the teahouse is the dining hall, which is not far from the kitchen.
One of the people accompanying him was Mr. Han’s youngest son, Han Fafa.
The two old men sat down, and Cui Dahai immediately made some tea.
Han Fafa said: "Brother Dahai, let's go to the kitchen to take a look and arrange the time for serving food?"
