Chapter 142 Mr. Chu
After a hasty lunch, Chu Heng and his second aunt began to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.
According to the original plan, the second aunt was going to cook six dishes. After the seafood was introduced, it was changed to ten.
Three of the dishes are seafood, cooked by Chu Heng, braised abalone, steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli, and spicy stir-fried razor clams.
The second aunt is responsible for the rest, five hot dishes, steamed yellow croaker, braised pork elbow, pork sausage, fried pork with day lily, and vinegared musu.
There are only two cold dishes, a red sausage platter and a Qianlong cabbage.
Originally, the second aunt wanted to make mustard dumplings. Chu Heng felt that Qianlong cabbage was a cold dish, so he insisted on replacing it.
Such a large table of dishes, let alone this day and age, would not be bad even for future generations.
The two little ones had never seen this scene before. After eating, they stood at the door of the kitchen and looked around, drooling.
As time passed, one delicious dish after another began to be cooked, and the mixed aroma of food gradually floated from the kitchen to the main room.
Even the second uncle who was reading a book couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva. The smell was so delicious!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner is ready.
Amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, the entire Chu family sat neatly at the table, happily enjoying the most sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner they had ever seen in their lives.
Well... except Chu Heng.
Among the dishes on the table, the most popular ones are the three seafood dishes. Everyone has never eaten these before and they all want to try something new.
"Hengzi is getting more and more promising. If my eldest brother and sister-in-law were still here, I wonder how happy he would be." Chu Jianshe was a little drunk after a few glasses of wine. Looking at the sparsely populated old Chu family, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. stand up.
"Second uncle, let's be happy during the Chinese New Year." Chu Heng held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, I wish our family will be more prosperous! Do one!"
" Do it!" Chu Xue responded first, raising the soda bottle in her hand and touching it with her elder brother.
"I'm a bit of a disgrace. Hengzi is right, you should be happy during the Chinese New Year." Chu Jianshe calmed down and raised his glass: "I wish our old Chu family better times."
"I'll have a drink too." The second aunt made an exception and poured herself a glass of wine, touched it gently with Chu Heng, and wished: "The second aunt wishes Hengzi to have a son soon, and it is best to give him a child of five or six." A big fat boy.”
"Haha, I'm borrowing my second aunt's good words." Chu Heng laughed and drank the wine in his glass.
The family chatted and had a meal for more than half an hour before it was finally over.
The two little ones with round bellies didn't know how to rest. They put some candy in their pockets and ran out to play with their friends.
After Chu Heng helped his second aunt clean up the mess, he went back to the main room to drink tea and chatted with Chu Jianshe about job changes after the new year.
At around five o'clock, he left his second uncle's house and rode home.
Hu Zhengwen and the others had made an appointment a few days ago. Those people would come to the Great Wall in the evening, and he had to go home in advance to prepare.
If nothing else, at least the room needs to be heated, otherwise Guo Kai, that bitch, would have to curse.
The streets were very lively, with the sound of firecrackers everywhere, and the entire Sijiu City was shrouded in smoke. The strong smell of sulfur gave Chu Heng the illusion of returning to the battlefield.
No matter what time of year, there are always naughty children.
On the way home, Chu Heng had a total of eight firecrackers thrown at him, and one of them came right in front of him. Fortunately, he had quick hands and eyes and tried his best to protect his face, otherwise he would have been disfigured.
This is no exaggeration at all. The power of firecrackers these days is not weak. At this time of year, there are a few people who blow off their fingers, set the house on fire, and even kill people with homemade firecrackers. .
It is said, it is said that a few years ago, there was a naughty boy who stole the detonator from the mine and made a huge firecracker. Then on the night of the 30th, he called a group of friends to witness it together. Miracle.
I heard a roar, and there were two families having a banquet at that time.
Chu Heng had a rough and turbulent journey and was on tenterhooks, and soon returned home.
When he entered the house, he lit the stove first, then quickly put melon seeds, candies and other things on the table. After thinking about it, he brought out some oranges and apples.
When everything was ready, he turned on the radio, sat down with a teapot in his arms and listened. There was a crosstalk night travel diary playing in it, which made him very amused.
After listening for a short while, the few people came over. Hu Zhengwen and his wife took the lead, followed closely by He Zishi, and Guo Kai walked at the end holding the mahjong box.
"Happy New Year, Brother Hengzi." Zhang Yi first greeted his great benefactor as he entered the room, his delicate little face beaming with joy.
"Happy New Year, happy New Year." Chu Heng quickly stood up to greet Hu Zhengwen and the others, and he wouldn't even move his buttocks.
A group of people chatted lively for a few words, and then couldn't wait to start playing mahjong.
In the beginning, Hu Zhengwen and his four brothers were playing, and Zhang Yi was watching the excitement. Seeing that her man was always setting firecrackers to lose money, the girl replaced him and ended up on her own.
Not to mention, Miss Zhang’s poker skills are really good, and she is also very lucky. Chu Heng and the three men have been clearly arranged.
After a few rounds of cards, the brothers started to watch others playing tricks and kept running with them the whole time.
Especially this kid Guo Kai, he was so damn good at catching up with the Italian cannon in Li Yunlong's hand, he hit the target at one point.
After firing three cannons, Guo Kai began to feel nervous. He hesitated for a long time while touching the cards, glanced at the red-faced girl Zhang Yi, and carefully played one: "Eighty thousand!"
“What a fool!”
Zhang Yimei pushed away the cards with a smile: “Qing Yi Sexy!”
“Damn it, are you so short-sighted? How dare you go out and fight when Zhang Yi wants Wan Zi!” Chu Heng pushed away his seven pairs with a black line on his face. , I feel so uncomfortable in my heart. He has played so many games, and finally he comes up with a big one, but before he can even warm up, he gets confused.
“She played 80,000 yuan at the beginning. Who knew she would still do this?” Guo Kai rubbed the cards with a grimace and wanted to chop his hands off.
"Let's talk about money." Hu Zhengwen smiled so hard that his eyes disappeared, and he spread his big hands in front of Guo Kai: "Let's give it to the whole family."
The honest man has been playing mahjong with them for so many years, but It’s so exciting to see the money back!
"Can I still run away?" Guo Kai rolled his eyes at him, took out the money and clicked it, but found that it was not enough. You must know that he came with five yuan, and after just a few rounds of cards, he was No more!
He looked at Chu Heng with a grimace, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Chu, please support me."
"Fuck, you are just having fun borrowing money, do you understand the rules?" Chu Heng I was speechless. The implication of lending money when playing cards is not very good. It is easy to lose your luck, but then I thought about how I didn't have much luck in the first place, so I simply lent him five yuan.
No more
