Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Evening

After buying Spring Festival couplets and other New Year's goods from the market, Mo Yun, Mo Zi and Qing'er returned home.

"Oh, I'm finally back. It's been a while since I've had such a pleasant stroll..."

Mo Zi stretched his arms and walked in slowly.

"Yeah, that's right, but being with my brother is the best..."

"Okay, go wash your hands quickly. Aren't you looking forward to having something delicious tonight..."

Mo Yun revealed a mysterious smile after he finished speaking.

"Da da da……"

As soon as I stepped into the house, the steaming aroma of fireworks hit me in the face. From the kitchen came the sounds of cutting vegetables and the crackling of fire. It turned out that Molan and the servants had already been busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Ah, you're back! You must have worked so hard..."

When Master Yu saw them coming back, he quickly stood up and walked towards them.

"Father, we have bought the things, but where is Mother?"

Mo Yun felt a little confused about Mo Lan not being in the room.

"Haha, you're in for a treat tonight! This is your mother's first time cooking for real!"

Master Yu looked at their expressions and said it with great pride.

Mo Yun and A Zi just looked at each other without saying anything, but Xiao Qing disappeared.

"This little girl..."

……

Qing'er skipped to the kitchen and looked around curiously: "Mom, let me help you!"

Molan turned her head with a smile, a little flour on her cheeks, and said in a rare gentle tone:

"Xiaoqing, you're not very experienced at this. Stop making trouble here and go play with your brothers and sisters. The New Year's Eve dinner will be ready soon."

"No, I want to help too..."

At this moment, two other figures slowly arrived here.

As soon as Mo Zi walked into the kitchen, he confidently said to his mother:

"Mom, I'm here to help too. I'm going to let everyone taste my cooking skills today."

After saying that, without waiting for Molan's consent, she picked up the kitchen knife beside her and prepared to cut the vegetables, but the knife was not obedient in her hand, and the vegetables she cut were of different sizes, and she almost cut her finger.

"Da da da...hiss, oh my god, this is a bit scary..."

The mother watched from the side, frowned slightly, and said softly:

"Azi, you rarely get involved in kitchen matters, so you should go and rest. Don't hurt yourself."

"No, I don't want to! I'm the one who's going to cook a good meal for my brother. I'm not a little sister who can only act cute on the side, right? Xiaoqing..."

Mo Zi refused to give in and insisted on continuing to help.

At this time, the oil in the pot was already heated. Mo Zi picked up a piece of meat and threw it into the pot. In an instant, the hot oil splashed everywhere, scaring her so much that she stepped back repeatedly.

"Hiss..."

Then, there was a loud "bang" and a hole was blown in the pot in the kitchen, and flames jumped up.

"boom……"

"This this……"

Mo Zi was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Hearing the sound of the explosion, Mo Yun rushed in, holding a wet cloth in his hand, and quickly put out the flames. He shook his head helplessly and said to Mo Zi:

"Azi, you're going to tear down the kitchen, right? You'd better get out. Leave the kitchen matters to mother and the servants."

Mo Zi's face flushed red after hearing this. He lowered his head and muttered softly:

"I, I just wanted to help my brother cook a meal, who knew, who knew this thing would be so disobedient, hum..."

After saying that, he walked out of the kitchen in dejection.

"Hehe, it seems like you're no good either, sister! You're even worse than me, always making trouble. Doesn't that make a bad impression on me? Haha..."

Xiaoqing was very satisfied with this scene and laughed out loud.

"Ugh……"

When Mo Yun saw this, he just sighed and said nothing more.

Then he slowly walked to the stove and said to the servant who was lighting the fire:

"Xiaodie, let me add some firewood."

After saying that, he took the fire tongs and methodically added firewood to the stove. The flame burned more vigorously under his care, reflecting his warm face.

"So warm..."

……

The whole family worked together, and the kitchen was filled with strong family love and warmth.

After a while, delicious dishes came out of the pot one after another.

First up is the "Year of Abundance" dish, which is both delicious and fragrant. The delicious fish is pan-fried until golden on both sides, drizzled with a special sauce, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and shredded red peppers, which is fragrant.

Next is "Peace in All Seasons" - green vegetables stir-fried with fresh mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms, light and refreshing;

There is also "red and prosperous" - the braised pork is bright red in color, soft, sweet, and melts in the mouth, which increases people's appetite just by looking at it.

"Hahaha, it smells so good! It seems my mother's cooking skills are really good!"

"Azi, you can't say that! You underestimate your mother!"

Mo Yun woke her up instantly after hearing this, and the expression on her face became slightly serious.

"Okay, okay, don't take it too seriously. It's just the New Year. Yun'er, don't be so serious like your mother..."

Seeing this, the Rain Master interrupted them directly.

When all the dishes were served, the family sat around the table filled with delicious food, laughing and talking happily.

"Haha, a bunch of little cats..."

The red candles on the table flickered, making everyone's face look particularly warm.

"Come, Yun'er, A'zi, Xiaoqing, try this freshly made Ruyi roll. It symbolizes a smooth and happy new year for us."

The Rain Master smiled and picked up food for the children, his eyes full of love.

Mo Yun nodded slightly in thanks, while Mo Zi said coquettishly:

"Father, you should eat more too. You have worked hard for the family this year."

Qing'er watched from the side and said, not wanting to be outdone:

"Daddy, I want to be like that too. I want to be like my brothers and sisters."

At this time, Mo Yun picked up a piece of fresh fish with chopsticks and put it into Qing'er's bowl, saying softly:

"Qing'er, this is your favorite fish. I've already picked out most of the bones, but you still have to be careful with the spines."

Xiao Qing's face lit up with smiles. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mo Zi also picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it into Mo Yun's bowl, saying:

"Brother, you played the bamboo flute this afternoon and it was very tiring. Eat more to replenish your body."

"Humph, you're trying to snatch it from me again..."

Seeing this, Qing'er quickly picked up a piece of tofu and put it into Mo Yun's bowl, saying:

"Brother, this tofu is delicious too. Try it. I picked the biggest piece."

Molan watched from the side, a serious expression appearing on her calm face as she said:

"You kids, don't just pick up food for your brother, eat more yourself. You have to finish all the food on the table today. No leftovers are allowed."

The family ate and chatted, sharing the interesting things and experiences of the past year.

Mo Yun talked about the scene of performing on stage at the market, which caused everyone to laugh. Mo Zi added details and described the audience's reactions with his hands and feet.

"Looks like you guys had a great afternoon out!"

"Of course! Brother took me to many places I've never experienced before. The Body Sect is really great..."

Xiaoqing said this and smiled excitedly again.
