Chapter 205 Special New Year’s Eve Dinner (1)
Gu Xiaobei and Gu Erye pasted red paper on these small fruit trees before returning home. Along the way, they saw that every house was beaming with couplets, children wearing new clothes and sending them around, or Whether it's chasing and fighting, or setting off firecrackers, the whole village is immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Gu Xiaobei came back with Xiaobao and Gu Erye in his arms. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Gu Sanlin arranging the ingredients he bought yesterday, but Gu Datian and Gu Changjue were nowhere to be seen. Gu Xiaobei asked, "Big brother and third uncle?" Woolen cloth?"

"Big brother and third uncle are making rice dumplings." Gu Sanlin said with a smile.

Gu Xiaobei nodded. The custom in the village is that women make New Year's rice dumplings, but their brothers and sisters have no mothers since they were young, and she is still young, so she doesn't know how to make rice dumplings, so Gu Datian learned how to make rice dumplings. And this package is ten years.

"New Year's Zong is not very delicious. I really don't understand why big brother packs so much every year." Gu Erye frowned.

"Second brother, big brother has said it so many times every year that you don't listen to it. The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice, which is resistant to digestion. The rice dumpling is made for eating in the fields when working in the spring, and More importantly, it is for good luck." Gu Sanlin glared at his second brother angrily, the second brother would ask about this every year, and he and the eldest brother were both tired of answering.

"Hehe, okay." Gu Erye smiled and found a stool and sat down to help Gu Sanlin process the ingredients. After cleaning up the ingredients, there is no need to work too much during the two days of the Chinese New Year, just to make food , just use it directly.

Gu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Let Xiaobao follow you here. I'll go into the kitchen and see if I can help."

"Okay." Gu Erye hurriedly took Xiaobao into his arms, and said with a joking smile, "Little sister also needs to learn how to make rice dumplings, and when she gets married, she can make rice dumplings for your husband."

Gu Xiaobei's face turned slightly hot, and he said with a smile, "I'm planning to learn how to make rice dumplings, but not to make them for my husband, I want to make them for my brothers and sisters."

"That's right." Gu Sanlin said with a smile: "little sister, don't pay attention to what your second brother said, you go to the kitchen and have a look, didn't you say to make dim sum for us last time? We are waiting to try your handicraft Woolen cloth."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Gu Xiaobei readily agreed, then turned and went into the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, watching Gu Datian and Gu Changjue make rice dumplings for a while, Gu Xiaobei sat down and started to learn how to make rice dumplings. It took a long time to make a crooked rice dumpling with a big head and a small tail.

"It's so ugly!" Gu Xiaobei looked at the New Year's rice dumpling in his hand and said embarrassedly.

"This is already very good, and the more I wrap it in the future, the better it will be. I think when I was learning how to make rice dumplings, they were uglier than yours." Gu Datian said with a smile.

"Big Brother and Third Uncle are amazing, they can make such beautiful rice dumplings!" Gu Xiaobei touched the rice dumplings made by Gu Datian and Gu Changjue and said with emotion. The rice dumplings they made look so beautiful, and the rice dumplings made by themselves are as good as they are. No shot.

"What's the matter? Although we know how to make New Year's rice dumplings, we dare not tell them about it, for fear that others will be ashamed if they find out. After all, women in our village make rice dumplings." Gu Changjue said in a low voice.

"How can it be shameful? I think a man who can do some women's work is good, at least he can help women share some work." Gu Xiaobei smiled and said, "It's like cooking, many men are unwilling to learn , Said that these things are what women should do, and as a result, women are very tired every day, and they have to cook in the kitchen all year round, and men only know how to enjoy it.”

"It is true that some men are like this, but most of the people in our village are men and women who can cook." Gu Changjue nodded with a smile, "After hearing what Xiaobei said, I finally don't think men can make rice dumplings. It's a disgrace."

The three of them were chatting in the kitchen while making rice dumplings. When they finished making rice dumplings, it would be noon, and they would start cooking a sumptuous lunch. Of course, eating New Year’s Eve dinner at night is the big show on New Year’s Eve. After lunch, take a break You can start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Gu Xiaobei didn't rest after lunch, she went into the kitchen to make some peanut crisps, although there were also peanut crisps for sale on the street, but Gu Xiaobei felt that those peanut crisps were a bit hard, so she planned to make some peanut crisps by herself, which was considered her. A little thought for the family.

After Gu Xiaobei made peanut crisps, he walked into the main room with a large plate. The rest of the family had rested enough, and they all came here after smelling the fragrance.

"Wow, as expected of my little sister, this peanut crisp is much softer than the ones bought on the street, and it's very delicious!" Gu Erye praised non-stop as soon as he took a bite of the peanut crisp.

"It's delicious, everyone should eat more." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

After everyone ate Gu Xiaobei's peanut crisps, Gu Sanlin took out a chess set and said with a smile, "Now that we've had enough food and rest, let's play chess."

"But, shouldn't we be busy preparing tonight's New Year's Eve dinner?" Gu Xiaobei asked doubtfully.

"You don't care about that, you don't need to interfere with the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, just play chess with me, and when it's time for the New Year's Eve dinner, there will naturally be a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for you." Gu San Lin smiled.

"Okay!" Gu Xiaobei raised his eyebrows, he didn't care about the New Year's Eve dinner anymore, he just thought it was Gu Datian and the others who didn't want him to help.

But when she and Gu Sanlin sat down on the big table in the main room and were about to play chess, they found that Gu Changjue and Gu Erye had set up a chess set beside them and started playing, while Gu Datian was holding Xiaobao. Watching chess next to her.

Everyone seemed to be idle and didn't need to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Now Gu Xiaobei became even more curious. Could there be something special about this year's New Year's Eve dinner?Isn't this year's New Year's Eve dinner the most sumptuous dinner of the year like in previous years?What to eat then?
"Brother, do we really not need to prepare this year's New Year's Eve dinner? Or is this year's New Year's Eve dinner not a sumptuous dinner, but something else?" Gu Xiaobei couldn't help but asked again.

"You don't have to worry about it, just play." Gu Datian said with a smile.

Gu Xiaobei had no choice but to suppress the curiosity in his heart and start playing chess with Gu Sanlin, gradually getting into the game.

When they played nearly ten games of chess, Gu Datian went out with Xiaobao in his arms, and came back not long after, and said with a smile: "Everyone put away the chessboard and set up the biggest table. This year we will eat early." Supper."

Gu Xiaobei became even more curious. If she remembered correctly, Gu Datian only went out for a while, not even enough time for a game of chess. Could it be that he could cook a New Year's Eve dinner in such a short time?

Although I don't know what medicine is sold in Gu Datian's gourd, Gu Xiaobei still cooperated with Gu Sanlin and the others to put away the chessboard and the table. This table was specially made by Gu Datian. It is very big and can seat at least ten people. personal.
