Chapter 211 New Year's Eve Dinner

Several families competed for a pheasant, some pulled the head, some pulled the legs, and one person pulled out the beautiful feathers behind the pheasant's buttocks.

The onlookers were all happy, the scene was even better than before.

For this sake, Er Liuzi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief knowing that today's test has passed.

Although he was a bit of a jerk, he didn't want to cause trouble every day. After all, he was married and had children.

Lu Xiaolu didn't know how the last pheasant was divided, but Xue Li's face had already woken up, so she told him to go back and make dumpling stuffing.

Dumplings filled with pure meat, he has never been so extravagant in previous years, so they are all mixed with radishes.

Yesterday, I bought a catty of fat meat and a catty of lean meat, and chopped them finely to make saozi.

Add salt, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, add two eggs, beat evenly, and the meat filling is ready.

I scrambled a few more eggs, crushed them, and put them together with the chopped leeks, added the flavor and stirred evenly, and started rolling out the dumpling wrappers.

Lu Xiaolu makes dumplings every year, so he knows how to do this.

A piece of dough was gradually kneaded into a stick in Lu Xiaolu's hands, pinching it with his left hand, and pulling it with his right hand turned into a small dough, even in size.

Shirley was about to learn when Miko made a video call.

"Hello, Miss Shirley, Brother Captain, ah, Brother Captain can make dumplings!"

Lu Xiaolu, who was pulling the dough, smiled shyly: "It's okay."

Shirley: "Miko, aren't you going to live stream the New Year's Eve dinner today?"

"Sister, it's Chinese New Year's Eve today, and everyone is watching the Spring Festival Gala. Do I want to compete with the Spring Festival Gala for ratings?"

Shirley slapped her head: "I almost forgot about the Spring Festival Gala, but there is no TV here, what should I do?"

"You can also watch it on your mobile phone. I'll send you the link. It will start in half an hour."

"Uh-huh."

At this time, Lu Xiaolu's phone also rang, and Lu Xiaolu covered his face with both hands, so he could only stand up: "Xue Li, help me get my phone, it's in my pocket here."

Shirley took out her phone and looked at it. It showed Brother Qiu, since he made money from opening a shop, he also changed to a better smartphone.

"Do you want to pick it up?"

"Take it."

"Brother Donkey! Sister Xueli!" As soon as the connection was made, Xiao Xiao's face took over the entire screen.

"Hi Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

"Sister Xueli, we are making dumplings, look." Xiao Xiao moved her face away from the screen, the old lady, Qiu Wei, and Hua'er were all sitting at the table making dumplings, and the civet cat was also there.

The old lady put on her reading glasses and asked Xiao Xiao to bring her phone closer.

"Hehe, little donkey, are you making dumplings too? How deserted you two are at home, it would be nice if you were here, and the whole family gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

"Don't worry, old lady, we are fine, we will watch it later on our mobile phone."

Hua'er: "Brother Donkey, Sister Xueli, when are you coming back?"

Shirley: "Come on, let's spend the Lantern Festival there."

"Really? That's great!"

Qiu Wei: "Then what, Xiaolu and Xueli, you are busy first, Xiaoxiao, hang up the phone quickly, the traffic is quite expensive."

"Hmph, Uncle Qiu is so stingy, Sister Xueli, brother donkey, you have to come back quickly, I have hidden candy for you to eat."

"Okay, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Shirley exclaimed, "Ah, the Spring Festival Gala has started!"

She hurried into the house and took out the mobile phone holder, adjusted the mobile phone, and put it on the table. The two of them watched the Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings, laughing from time to time, covering their mouths, their faces were covered with dough .

Xue Li is a quick learner, Lu Xiaolu just taught her how to roll dumpling wrappers and how to make dumplings, she can make them right away.

Although the package is crooked and not very pretty, at least the dumplings will not break.

After the dumplings were made, Lu Xiaolu was caught in a dilemma, whether to watch the Spring Festival Gala, or cook dumplings.

It was Shirley who was understanding, holding her mobile phone and following them to the pot house.

Dumplings are also eaten on the first day of the new year, so today I only cooked half of them, and covered the rest with a cloth, so I am not afraid that they will be spoiled in this weather.

As soon as the water boiled, someone in the village had already set off firecrackers, which was pretty fast.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly added a few ladles of water to the pot, brought it to a boil, and put the meat dumplings first.

After seeing that it was almost done, put the leek and egg dumplings in. The vegetarian ones are cooked quickly, but they will open when they are cooked for too long.

Seeing that the dumplings had all floated up, Lu Xiaolu put them into a big basin, Xue Li wanted to reach out to grab them, but the dumpling soup was too hot.

"Don't worry, there are still leftovers at noon."

"Ooo, I'll serve it, you clean the pot first."

Taking advantage of the excuse of serving the food, Xueli secretly took one out with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The hot tears came out and she couldn't bear to spit it out. It took a long time to eat it.

Lu Xiaolu poked his head out from the pot house: "Xue Li, why haven't you brought it yet?"

"Oh oh come on come on."

There are not many leftover dishes, and the meat and vegetables are put together to heat up, and the vegetarian dishes are put together to make two dishes. This kind of dish is more delicious, and it tastes like a big banquet.

Lu Xiaolu broke off a few more cloves of garlic, put them in a bowl, mashed the garlic with a rolling pin, then poured in balsamic vinegar and a little sesame oil.

"Well, well, let's set off firecrackers for dinner."

Xue Li couldn't wait, she took two bowls: "I'll serve the rice, you go and set off the firecrackers."

"it is good."

It was past eight o'clock at this time, the sound of firecrackers outside was non-stop, the sound of dogs barking kept coming and going, and every household was eating New Year's Eve dinner.

The entrance of Lu Xiaolu's house is muddy. Although the snow has been swept away, it is very damp. He can only put the firecrackers on the concrete road, and no one passes by now anyway.

After lighting the fuse with a cigarette, Lu Xiaolu turned around and ran away.

"Xue Li, you have to dip the dumplings in vinegar."

"Mmm! This mashed garlic is delicious! Bajibaji." Xue Li's eyes widened, she picked up another dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in her mouth.

Mashed garlic has to be pounded to be delicious, and it doesn’t taste like the ones that are cut or twisted by machine.

When making dumplings just now, there were still some dumpling wrappers left, so Lu Xiaolu cooked them together, poured some broth, put two more dumplings, and poured one piece into Xiao Hei's dog bowl.

He didn't like the broken rule he said, so he declared it abolished.

The two ate the dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala, laughing loudly from time to time.

I can't sleep even if I'm full. Today is New Year's Eve, and I have to watch the New Year's Eve. Lu Xiaolu has just moved the fireworks out, and before they are lit, Kenjiro Sekiki called.

I saw him anxiously: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to disturb you now, do you know what will happen if you sell fireworks without a license? Will you go to jail?"

"Um, why are you asking this?"

"My son and his friend were arrested for selling fireworks and firecrackers. They also said that they were young people who were about to fly their ideals on the streets on New Year's Eve. By the way, his friend is also surnamed Lu just like you."

"...I won't squat in prison, at most I will be released after squatting inside for one night."

"Swoosh~ Then I'm relieved, see you, Mr. Lu."
