Chapter 716 New Year's Eve (3)
On New Year's Eve, Jun Li prepared a large table of dishes. He still sent Wang Ya back to the countryside to accompany Uncle Bao. Lin Jiayan told him in advance that he would not drink in the evening, and they would go to the riverside to set off fireworks together.
Jun Li wiped the sweat off his face, unbuttoned his down jacket and threw it aside. Cooking was too hot and he could still sweat even in such a cold day.
"Honey! Are we having Kung Pao Chicken or Black Pepper Chicken tonight?"
“Kung Pao Chicken.”
Bai Ze leaned over to respond and then silently packed up the down jacket that Jun Li had thrown aside.
"Okay! Then let's make some pork ribs and lotus root soup tonight to ward off the cold. As for the dumpling filling..."
Jun Li thought for a moment and simply sent a message in the group: "What kind of dumplings are you going to make tonight?"
Since I didn’t know what filling to make, I simply referred to other people’s ideas and got a response immediately.
Zhou Ju: Zhizhi and I are preparing to wrap celery and shrimp, and we are already preparing the fillings.
Jiang Jincheng: I don’t know. I’m at Xiao Ling’s father’s house now. His father will cook for me tonight and I will just eat.
Xiao Ling: My dad should be able to make leek and eggs.
Jiang Jincheng:?
Jiang Jincheng: Damn it! I won't eat this! My mouth stinks after eating it! Xiao Ling, if you dare to eat a bite, don't get close to me tonight!
Xiao Ling: (crying emoticon)
Lin Jiayan: It’s up to me. Jin’an likes meat-filled food and doesn’t like leeks. You can decide for yourself. We are on the way now.
Jun Li: Okay, then let’s make one with pork, cabbage and shrimp filling.
Zhou Ju:?
Zhou Ju: No! Why are you plagiarizing our ideas? !
Jun Li: What's the matter? You applied for a patent? If you are unhappy, come to City A and beat me up!
Zhou Ju: …
Zhou Ju: Blocked.
Jun Li laughed and turned off his phone. Some time ago, he and Bai Ze bought a lot of meat and vegetables for the New Year. They bought more than a dozen boxes of strawberries alone, because they were worried that the shopping malls and supermarkets would be closed during the New Year and his wife would not be able to eat them.
Bai Ze sat on the chair and watched him move things out of the refrigerator one by one, as if he never stopped.
In his impression, Junli seemed to be busy all day long during the Chinese New Year, and humans seemed to attach great importance to this so-called "New Year".
"Is there nothing I can do?"
Bai Ze frowned slightly and took the initiative to ask Jun Li to assign him a task. Jun Li's busy steps finally stopped. He thought for a long time and then said, "Then my wife, please help me pour beer on the crabs I bought last time and keep in the bathroom to get them drunk."
Jun Li diced the shrimp without even looking up: "Soak for half an hour! Crabs are bigger, so soak them longer."
"Oh."
Bai Ze then got up and left the kitchen. Jun Li was afraid that Bai Ze didn't know which beer it was, so he quickly leaned over and shouted, "The green one is beer, honey! You can put more in! Only if they drink too much will they vomit out the dirt in their stomachs!"
"it is good."
Jun Li heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Bai Ze did not take the wrong thing and went back to the kitchen to continue cutting shrimps.
Bai Ze moved a box of beer and looked at the twenty slowly moving crabs in the barrel and fell into deep thought.
He opened the can with one hand and picked up a crab with the other hand and said coldly, "Drink it quickly."
The crab seemed to be frightened when it was picked up. It waved its claws and spit out a lot of bubbles.
Bai Ze frowned, put down his beer and looked at the crab: "You vomited without even drinking it? You rookie."
Crab:…
Bai Ze looked at the crab that was desperately blowing bubbles and silently put down the newbie who vomited without drinking. He picked up another crab that was fighting and picked up the beer again: "You drink it."
The crab's mouth kept opening and closing, so Bai Ze simply poured the liquid into its mouth.
"My husband asked you to drink more. You should finish the whole box and then throw up in the bathroom quickly."
The bottle of wine was not finished, and more wine spilled out than was poured in. Bai Ze looked at the puddle of wine on the ground and then silently slapped it with his evil spirit.
"Don't waste food. Drink up all the food on the ground."
The second crab was so spit out more bubbles than the first one. All the bubbles fell to the ground. Bai Ze was silent for a moment and looked at it before saying, "You are also a noob."
Bai Ze forcibly opened a box of beer and forced it into the stomachs of twenty crabs. He originally thought that this would be enough, but then he felt something was wrong.
Jun Li drank too much before and vomited all over him. How disgusting would the bathroom be if so many crabs vomited together?
He squatted down again, arranged the crabs in a circle, and hung them on the basin with their mouths facing the mouth of the basin.
"That way you won't vomit outside."
Bai Ze thought he was really smart. He washed his hands quietly and returned to the kitchen. Jun Li turned his head and asked, "Did you soak them all in beer?"
Bai Ze glanced at him and replied calmly: "Next time, buy some crabs that can drink. The crabs you bought are all weak. They will vomit after drinking two sips."
"what?"
Jun Li realized that something was wrong and quickly ran to the bathroom. As a result, he saw crabs all over the floor. They staggered after every two steps and there was a bunch of fishy bubbles on the floor.
Bai Ze looked at the crabs crawling on the ground and then looked at her husband who was standing there in shock and speechless, then she realized that she seemed to have messed up.
In order to make amends, the little ghost carefully pulled Jun Li's clothes: "I'll pack them up...you go out first..."
"How do you give them wine?"
Jun Li covered his face and turned away, sighing: "I mean, I want you to open a few bottles of beer and pour them directly into the bucket. Let them soak in it and they will open their mouths and drink..."
Bai Ze coughed and took two steps back awkwardly: "I poured it directly into their mouths..."
Jun Li: …
Jun Li took a deep breath. Crabs were crawling all over the ground. Some of them turned upside down after walking a few steps and were struggling to get up. The bathroom smelled strongly of seafood and alcohol.
"It's okay...it's okay, it's okay..."
Jun Li forced a smile and rubbed Bai Ze's face. He didn't know whether these words "it's okay" were to comfort him or himself.
"It's my fault for not explaining it to my wife. I should have told her to open the beer and pour it directly into the bucket of crabs."
Jun Li silently went into the bathroom, opened the window to get some fresh air, then picked up the crabs crawling on the floor and threw them back into the bucket, then poured another glass of beer.
"I'll clean up here first. The smell is a bit strong. My wife doesn't like the smell of alcohol. You can stay outside. There are some freshly washed strawberries outside."
Bai Ze didn't move. He lowered his head a little guilty. Jun Li quickly mopped the floor before going to coax his wife.
"It's really okay, honey. Look, you're much better than me!"
Jun Li led him out and handed him some strawberries, then laughed and said, "I couldn't even get beer into them, but my wife actually filled a box with them! My wife is amazing!"
"Ok!"
Bai Ze's expression relaxed after receiving the praise. He leaned excitedly into Jun Li's arms and ate one strawberry after another.
Jun Li gave him a kiss and hurried to look at the stewed pork ribs and lotus root.
Bai Ze followed and brought the dishes to the table, then sat on a chair and watched Jun Li season the dumpling filling.
"Bang bang bang!"
Jun Li turned his head to look outside, and Bai Ze immediately understood and stood up and ran to open the door.
Mo Jinan put both his hands in Lin Jiayan's pockets, feeling so cold that he wanted to shrink into them.
"Damn it... It's cold enough in the middle of winter, but the deep forest where Jun Li lives is even colder than the downtown area!"
Bai Ze opened the door for the two of them, greeted them and let them in. Jun Li washed his hands and hurried out: "You came quite early. I thought you would have to wait another hour."
"It was driving fast, and there were not many people on the street."
Lin Jiayan handed Jun Li an exquisite velvet gift box: "New Year's gift."
"Hey! Why are you so polite to me this year? And you're giving me gifts? Why did you eat and take things with you before?"
Jun Li wiped his hands before taking it. They had such a good relationship that there was no need for so much pretense. There was no such thing as opening gifts after the guests had left. Gifts were opened and read on the spot when they were given.
A gold-thread tie was lying quietly inside, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a custom-made one and very expensive.
"Of course! You are worthy of being me, Lin Jiayan! Your aesthetic taste is much better than Mo Jinan's!"
"You are sick! You are always stepping on others and picking them up!"
Mo Jinan also took out a box from the back and stuffed it into Bai Ze's arms: "This is for you! I picked it out, see if you like it."
Bai Ze was a little surprised. He said "thank you" and opened it carefully. A ruby pendant was lying quietly inside.
The gem was carved into the shape of a strawberry and strung together with a thin gold chain, and the strawberry seeds were filled with diamonds.
A trace of joy flashed across Bai Ze's eyes. Seeing him like that, Mo Jin'an turned his head with relief and raised his eyebrows proudly at Jun Li: "I knew that your wife would definitely like the one I picked!"
Jun Li smiled and put away the tie, and then at Mo Jinan's strong request, he put the chain on Bai Ze.
"It really looks good, and it makes my wife's skin look so fair!"
Jun Li flattered him without blushing, Bai Ze glanced at him and said suddenly: "So you mean I was dark before?"
Jun Li:?
