Rebirth Restaurant

The sun slanted westward in the sky, and the smoke from the chimneys curled up.

The firewood in the stove was burning, and the child sitting on the small bench in front of the stove was helping his brother set the firewood, stretching his neck and eyes to look into the pot from time to time.The soup in the pot was gurgling, and the aroma that the lid couldn't hide overflowed from the gap, and people three miles away could smell the aroma coming from it.

"Well, it smells so good, what delicious food is Lin Lin doing?" The people walking towards this side could smell the fragrance from a distance, and they all swallowed their saliva, and their steps became even tighter. Soon.

At this time, their family started to kill chickens for the New Year's Eve dinner, and it would be after dark when they had food, so they came to Lin Lin to have a look.

The younger brother of Wang Meng's family saw his brother going out and followed his brother as a follower.

The gate in the yard was open, and hearing the sound of someone coming in, Lin Lin turned around and saw the person coming, and said with a smile, "You are here at a good time, my meal will be ready soon, and I will cook two more dishes You can start dinner now. Your family’s food is still not ready, eat a little bit at my place later and then go back.”

Wang Meng giggled, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he could smell the smell of the pot becoming more fragrant, so he asked, "What is you cooking in this pot, why is it so fragrant?"

The little brother of the Wang family has been coming over to talk to Lin Xiaohao who was setting fire in front of the stove, and the two little ones are chattering and don't know what they are talking about.

"Let me see if it's ready." Lin Lin lifted the lid and took a look. It was braised pork inside.

After all the soup in the pot was collected, he turned it over twice with a shovel, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It's all right."

So Lin Sen handed him the plate and shoveled the cooked meat onto the plate.

Lin Dong handed the plate to Wang Meng and said, "Put it on the table and put it on. Go there and get a plate to cover it and then fry two more dishes." , You have to find a cover to buckle it so that it won't cool down so quickly.

Wang Meng took the meat over and put it away, and then came over to let the two little ones play, and he took over the job of lighting the fire.

The lack of fish on the New Year's dinner table means that there will be fish (surplus) every year.

Today, there are chicken, meat, and fish, a soup, and two fried dishes can be put together on the table.Thinking that Wang Meng and Lin Sen would come over, Lin Lin had prepared a little extra food. Half-children would eat poor old people. At their age, when they could eat the most, they would never dislike the amount of meat.

"Fuck-"

Put the oil in the pan, put a little more oil, and fry a whole fish until the skin on the outside is golden, turn it over constantly to ensure that the fish will not be too burnt, be careful not to put The fish is rotten.

When the fried fish is golden in color, scoop up the fish and put it on a plate, put chopped green onion and garlic until fragrant, then add sugar, salt, cooking wine and soy sauce, then add half a bowl of water, and put the fish in after the water boils Cook over low heat and puree slowly.

The dishes on the table increased one by one, the bone stewed radish soup was thick and sweet, a large plate of chicken, braised pork, braised fish, and two fried dishes, one cold fungus, was full of dishes on the table.

"Let's serve dinner! Sorry to keep everyone waiting." Lin Lin was the last one to sit down.

Announced that it was time for dinner.He looked at Wang Meng and the others and said, "Come on, let's have a toast, and wish everyone good luck in the New Year, all wishes come true and everything goes well."

There is one drink per person on the table, half a glass for children, they are half-aged kids and they are not suitable for drinking

, Just replace the wine with a drink.

"Go ahead, everyone's wishes come true, whatever comes to mind."

"Everyone is healthy and academically progressing."

After finishing a cup, Wang Meng took the chopsticks to pick up the braised pork that he had been staring at drooling for a long time.

He squinted his eyes after taking a bite, really happy.

"Everyone let go of their stomachs and eat. There are a lot of dishes today. Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, both Haohao and I will have to eat until tomorrow. Let's eat more." Lin Lin told everyone Don't be too polite with him, the dishes for the Chinese New Year are much richer than usual, and today is different from usual.

"Okay, I won't be polite if you say that." Wang Meng was not polite at all, and said, "Why do I think the food here is particularly delicious?" They usually cook meat directly in the pot. Go to cook, put some soy sauce and salt and eat it when it is cooked, where is it so particular, eat it when it is cooked,

Naturally, the taste will not be too good.

This was the first time he had eaten such delicious meat, and he found that Lin Lin's dishes were all so delicious that it made one want to eat up the whole plate after one bite.

"Haha, it's better not to be polite, I'm afraid you will be polite to me. If you like it, eat more, and you will be full today." Lin Lin laughed.

Lin Sen nodded. He also found that Lin Lin's food was particularly delicious, and he didn't know how Lin Lin learned such a good cooking skill.For this, he attributed it to the fact that Lin Lin is very good at reading, and his learning ability in other aspects is also very strong, and he even cooks so deliciously, which really makes people envy and hate.

Several half-grown teenagers and two children sat around the table to eat this year's New Year's Eve dinner. This feeling was very new to Lin Lin, but it was also very happy.He watched Lin Xiaohao grunt and gnaw on the big chicken legs, there happened to be two chicken legs, two small ones, one for each person, his mouth was full of meat.

The younger brother of the Wang family is also very good at eating. He eats so intently that he doesn't even say a word.

The middle-aged and the poor eat the poor, and all of them at this table are at the age of growing tall and tall, and all of them can eat very well.A large plate of braised pork was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Wang Meng took two bites.Lin Sen was still a bit reserved in the front, but he also let go of his stomach to eat in the back. Don't look at him as thin, he has a big appetite, and he eats a lot.

Throughout the year, children look forward to eating such a good meal, wearing new clothes, and getting a few lucky money from their parents and elders, but in the end, the lucky money is returned to their parents to buy stationery for their children to go to school. use.

There is only one big fishbone left in the braised fish in the dish, and the fish is eaten clean, and there is still chicken breast left in the plate of chicken.

It was gradually getting late outside, and almost all the dishes on the table were eaten, and there was still a little soup and radish left in the pot.Wang Meng and the others had to go home, but Lin Lin didn't keep them any longer, "Well, you guys go back, come play again tomorrow when you have time," he said.

"Okay, let's go, come and play at our house when you have time."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

On the way back, Wang Meng told his younger brother not to tell his parents that they had eaten at Lin Lin's, lest his mother find out and say that they came to Lin Lin's for dinner and had to clean them up.

"Brother, I know." The younger brother of the Wang family replied.

At this time, the sky will be dark, and the days will grow slowly after the winter solstice, and the sun will set a little slower at night.

By the time the dishes and chopsticks on the table were cleaned up and washed, it was getting dark outside.

Lin Lin found a bamboo pole and poked down the lantern hanging on the door, lit the wick inside, and hung it up again.One big and one under the lamp looked up at the hanging lanterns, and the light reflected on their faces, two smiling faces.

It's time to shower and put on new clothes.

I poured hot water from the pot into the basin, then soaked in cold water, and tested the water temperature with my hands, it was ok.Lin Lin asked the child to peel the child quickly, and asked people to quickly go into the bath tub. He went to take out the child's new clothes and change into them after taking a bath.

The child soaking in the basin turned his head and watched his brother come out with new clothes. The clean and tender face showed a bright smile, and shouted, "Brother, it's Haohao's new clothes." .”

"Well, yes, Haohao's new clothes." Lin Lin went over and rubbed the child's back with a handkerchief, and said, "Hurry up and change into new clothes. Let's make dumplings later, and we will have dumplings tonight." .”

After the thirty, tomorrow is a new year.

A lot of things have happened this year, and when I look back and think about it, I feel that time flies by so fast.Whether it is a happy day or a sad and unhappy day, it will always pass. From the previous day to the next day, such a process has been crossed, from one point to another.

Life is made up of such days and days. After a day is over, it will be a day. People's sorrows, joys, joys and anger will pass, and everything will return to normal in the end.

This was his mood at the moment, his life was even more ordinary than he imagined, his heart was peaceful, without any waves.

After bathing the children and putting on new clothes, they will make dumplings.

After reconciling the noodles and adjusting the dumpling fillings, put a small plate on it, roll out the dough with a rolling pin, put the fillings in, and Lin Lin squeezed out a beautiful dumpling in two or three strokes.Lin Xiaohao didn't know how to make dumplings yet, Xiaopang was helping his brother roll out the dough with a rolling pin in his hand.

Lin Xiaohao asked his brother, "Brother, why do we still have to make dumplings?"

"Because it's the Chinese New Year, you have to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, Haohao, don't you know?" Lin Lin asked Lin Xiao

: ■生/口〇

But Haohao's stomach was so full that he couldn't eat any more.

As if knowing what the child was thinking, Lin Lin smiled and said, "Let's cook a few to eat later, and cook the rest tomorrow morning." It doesn't mean that we have to eat all of them, Silly boy!

Lin Xiaohao blinked at his brother.

When the dumplings were all cooked, Lin Lin ordered a few of them. They ate a lot for dinner, and their stomachs are still full.It was the kid who asked him how he wanted to make dumplings when he was making the dumplings just now, but when he was eating the dumplings, he would eat one or two bites, and he didn't dare to let the child eat it for fear of breaking the child's belly later.

"Okay, let's eat two, and we'll cook the rest tomorrow."

"All right."

During the Chinese New Year, the elders should give lucky money to the younger generation, and the parents should give lucky money to the children, expressing the wishes of the parents and elders for their children.In the past, their parents gave them lucky money. This year, it was Lin Lin who wrapped the lucky money for the children and said some auspicious words, hoping that the children would grow taller and grow up happily. This is him

Biggest wish.

"Thank you brother." My brother taught him to say thank you and say congratulations and auspicious words when he took the New Year's money during the New Year.

"good."

The two brothers were the only ones at home. When their parents were there, they would watch the night on New Year's Eve and go to bed after the firecrackers were set off at twelve o'clock. But this year, they were the only two brothers who lived together, so Lin Lin planned to go tonight No more vigil.

At noon, the child was sleepy. Lin Lin took the child back to the room to sleep. He sat on the bed against the head of the bed, looked at the sleeping child, and reached out to touch the child's face.

The sound of firecrackers in the distance at night, another year...
