Film and Television: Happy Life Beginning in Ode to Joy

It is absolutely impossible for Luo Qiqi to cook, just like cooking hot pot. There happens to be a coal stove in the living room, so it can be used to its best advantage.

Wu Zhe moved the coal stove in the living room after the weather got cold. After all, there was no heating here. He Xiaoming originally planned to buy an air conditioner, but unfortunately, he couldn't find an air conditioner with heating function. There were many electric stoves, but they still didn't work. Before He Xiaoming could buy it, Wu Zhe diligently moved the coal stove, along with a truckload of briquettes.

He Xiaoming thought, it's better to do as the Romans do in the countryside. Anyway, every house has smoke pipes hanging on the windows, making the whole city look like fireworks.

As for environmental pollution, He Xiaoming really doesn't think that some things are much more polluting than these coal stoves.

Luo Qiqi: "Ha, it's still comfortable at home. It's much warmer than outside. Brother Xiao Ming, you do it first. I'll go to the kitchen to make preparations."

He Xiaoming: "Qiqi, why don't we have hot pot? Look at this cold day, and snowflakes are starting to fall outside again. It's not very comfortable for us to eat hot pot around the stove in the room."

Luo Qiqi hesitated for a moment: "That's right, but I don't know how to get the hot pot base, and making hot pot doesn't show my current level of cooking skills."

He Xiaoming: "Why can't it show up? You can't cut the radish and cabbage, and the winter bamboo shoots we bought a few days ago. These require you to show off your superb knife skills. Go ahead, Luo Qiqi. I believe you. I'll just get the hot pot base." ”

Luo Qiqi rolled her eyes at He Xiaoming, knowing that He Xiaoming was perfunctory and just didn't want her to cook, but she didn't refute this time. Let's just have hot pot. This is also a big step forward in showing off her cooking skills.

Regardless of how advanced Luo Qiqi's cooking skills are now, she can still cut vegetables in a decent way. At least the radish slices... look like radish slices.

As for the other things, there is nothing to say. They are all bought. The large freezer has been set to freezing mode. There are all the New Year’s goods bought these days, such as beef meatballs, toothpick meat and other things. They are purely handmade and natural. No pollution.

Especially with all kinds of seafood, including sea cucumbers, squids, lobsters, etc. Eating seafood these days is actually not that difficult.

Sea cucumbers, in particular, have not experienced all the hype in later generations, and their prices are not as good as some ordinary sea fish. As for abalone, He Xiaoming has not seen it on the street. According to the fish seller, it is too cheap and it is nothing. For human consumption, farmers on the seaside generally chop it into pieces and feed it to chickens and ducks.

He Xiaoming really didn't know much about the prices of these things. After all, he couldn't afford anything when he was an orphan. By the time he could afford these so-called high-end ingredients, they had begun to become high-end.

It can only be said that the differences are caused by different eras and regions.

Even mariculture has not yet begun to become popular. Inland seafood is brought here by train in the winter, and even ordinary people don't like to eat it. They think these things are too fishy and not as delicious as river seafood.

He Xiaoming simply fried a spicy pot bottom. He didn't have any butter at home, so he fried it with lard and rapeseed oil. It was still delicious and spicy. Then he minced garlic for dipping and poured a spoonful of hot oil on it. The fragrance was delicious. It came out immediately.Luo Qiqi: "Cook more meatballs of all kinds. Don't put sea cucumbers in the pot. It looks like a big bug and makes the whole pot of soup fishy. Just put fish cakes. I'll cut them after you're done." , the radish needs to be cooked for a while..."

It's always lively when eating hot pot, especially with people like Luo Qiqi who makes noises while eating. What you eat is not only hot pot, but also the smoke and fire of the world. Yesterday's Spring Festival Gala is replayed on the TV, and even more It added a bit of excitement to the fireworks.

While the two were fighting for the lobster meat in the hot pot, there was a knock on the door. When they opened the door, they found that it was Lin Lan who was greeting them.

Lin Lan is celebrating the New Year this time at home. Not to mention anything else, his parents were scared when he moved the big color TV back. He had heard of giving out red envelopes during the New Year, but never heard of using a color TV to give out red envelopes. Yes, the price of a color TV. With all the money Lin Lan’s parents earned in a year, they couldn’t even afford it. Lin Lan’s parents were so frightened that they almost went to the joint defense team to call for Lin Lan to be arrested. .

Lin Lan had just left. Shi Shi, Wu Zhe, and Wei Junjie, the three swordsmen, also came to the door, followed closely by the two engineers who had just been recruited from the factory. When these people came, they were carrying many large and small bags in their hands. Most of the things are agricultural products from these years, and there are a lot of delicacies and game, which can be regarded as adding ingredients to the New Year hot pot.

Especially Wu Zhe, this idiot, actually brought some live chickens and ducks to the door, leaving He Xiaoming speechless. Did he want to keep them at home?
He Xiaoming is still somewhat unaccustomed to this way of going back and forth to pay New Year's greetings. He has lived in the world of Ode to Joy for more than 20 years, and has lived so many years before time travel. He has always been alone. This is really the first time he has experienced this. Planting the excitement of celebrating the New Year.

Looking at Luo Qiqi who was busy seeing off the guests, He Xiaoming had a smile in his eyes: "Not bad, she has a bit of a hostess vibe."

Luo Qiqi's face turned red with embarrassment, and she raised her head proudly, revealing her slender neck: "Humph, I am the hostess."

He Xiaoming: "Okay, hostess, let's soak some of these wild mushrooms and stuff. We'll also cook them in the pot later."

He Xiaoming never knew that a hot pot meal could last so long. He ate from noon to dark, changing the briquettes in the stove. When he was full, he would eat melon seeds, watch TV and chat, or run on the street together outside the window. There were children running around and adults shopping around making comments.

I kept eating when I was hungry, and in the end the whole room was filled with water vapor. I had to open the window to ventilate the living room, and was greeted by a biting cold wind.

Luo Qiqi has really changed a lot now. If it had been so lively outside before, Luo Qiqi would have gone out to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, she stayed at home with He Xiaoming all day today.

Before going to bed at night, Luo Qiqi had a smile on her lips. She liked the feeling of this warm family. There were no worries or calculations. She could let herself soften and nestle in He Xiaoming's arms like a kitten.

She is going to see her grandpa tomorrow. Luo Qiqi wants to tell her grandpa all this. Luo Qiqi doesn't want to be strong anymore. Luo Qiqi also wants someone to care for her and take care of her. Luo Qiqi can also be pampered like a little princess. (End of chapter)
