In the early hours of the morning, the dark clouds accumulated for many days finally released their demeanor, and snowflakes like goose feathers sprinkled on the ground. It was dressed in new white clothes overnight.

Zhao Jinmai was sleeping against Zhou Mochen's chest. Although they have been married for several years, they still seem to be obsessed with each other when they are in love.

"Well"

Before opening his eyes, he rubbed comfortably in Zhou Mochen's arms.

"Sleep well?"

Zhou Mochen woke up for a while, and couldn't help laughing seeing Zhao Jinmai's cute appearance.

"Hmm~! It's still comfortable in my husband's arms."

Zhao Jinmai's voice just waking up was very nice. Soft and sticky. like a little girl.

"Aren't you hungry, I'll make you breakfast."

Zhou Mochen fondled Zhao Jinmai's hair fondly.

"Okay! Are Xiangxiang and Qianqian awake?"

Zhao Jinmai opened his confused eyes and asked.

"Not yet. Didn't hear anything."

Zhou Mochen replied.

"Then let them sleep for a while."

Zhao Jinmai let go of Zhou Mochen and said.

"Then you'll be fascinated for a while, and I'll make breakfast."

Then he got up and got out of bed. He also deliberately went to the small bed next to him to see the two little guys. Who knew that the little girl would wake up early. Looking at Zhou Mochen with wide eyes, he suddenly laughed.

"Cluck.!"

"You two little guys don't call you daddy when you wake up!"

Zhou Mochen said with a smile.

"dad!"

"dad!"

The two little guys immediately stretched out their hands for Zhou Mochen to hug.

"good!"

Zhou Mochen immediately picked them up and scented each of them.

"Xiangxiang, Qianqian. Come and sleep with mom for a while."

Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up, he sat up and said.

Zhou Mochen put the little guy on the big bed. In a short time, he ran to Zhao Jinmai's bed. He also went directly to the bathroom to wash up. Laughter came from outside. The three mothers had a great time playing.

"Mom! Good morning. I said I'm coming down to make breakfast."

Zhou Mochen who went downstairs met Liu Mei who was making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Why don't you sleep more. I'm used to getting up early. It's snowing outside, probably last night. It hasn't stopped yet."

Liu Mei said with a smile.

"Huh? I really don't know about this. I didn't pay attention. I'll call the little girl to play with Xueer."

Zhou Mochen suddenly became interested. It snowed too early last year, and it had stopped snowing when they came back. There are very few snow days in Sioux City.

"dad!"

"dad!"

The little guy who was playing with Zhao Jinmai shouted when he saw Zhou Mochen coming up.

"It's snowing outside, do you want to go out and play?"

Zhou Mochen rubbed their little heads with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Their eyes lit up and they nodded immediately.

"Honey, it's really snowing."

Zhao Jinmai is also full of interest.

"Yeah, it's not too small. It's still falling. It's time to make a snowman."

Zhou Mochen replied with a smile.

"Yeah, let's make a snowman."

Zhou Xiangxiang laughed immediately when he heard it. He stood up quickly to wash up. Zhou Mochen prepared clothes and washing things for them.

Zhao Jinmai also got up together. A family of four stood in a large bathroom. Following Zhao Jinmai's appearance, the two little guys dressed themselves up beautifully. Zhou Mochen also prepared the shoes for the two of them to play with snow.

When I went downstairs, Liu Mei's breakfast was also ready, which was steamed dumplings. But Zhou Mochen prefers to eat. I ordered a bowl myself.

Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian still gave Liu Mei a lot of face. I ate a lot.

After eating, the family of four ran to the yard to play in the snow. Zhou Weimin also found a small shovel for shoveling snow for the two little guys.

The little ones had a great time. When Zhou Zixi and Zhou Zixuan woke up, they also joined. And Zhou Mochen also built a big snowman early. The four children didn't like it very much.

The snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger. Zhou Mochen had no choice but to call the child into the house. Zhou Weimin also burned the charcoal basin early. So the attention of the little ones began to shift.

And Zhou Mochen was thinking about what to eat at noon. Although it was New Year's Eve at night, he couldn't deal with lunch. Thinking about the beef I brought back gave me an idea. When Liu Mei woke up in the morning, she took out the frozen ingredients and thawed them. She didn't know what to do either. So take them all out. Beef is also in it.

And what Zhou Mochen wants to do is Xiangyang beef noodles.

"Dad, my aunt and the others will come to eat at noon or at my sister-in-law's."

Zhou Mochen asked.

"They don't come here until lunch."

Zhou Weimin asked yesterday.

"Okay then, let's have beef noodles for lunch."

Zhou Mochen nodded and said.

"Okay."

Zhou Weimin nodded. He really likes noodles.

After Zhou Mochen finished speaking, he went back to the kitchen to prepare.

The most important thing about Xiangyang Beef Noodles and Xiangyang Beef Noodles is that they are fragrant, thick and aftertaste. The oil should be fragrant, and the beef should be delicious. The ingredients are boiled red oil, stewed beef, and beef offal. The biggest secret of Xiangyang beef noodles is traditional Chinese medicine braised buns, and the most important thing is soup.

The beef noodles in Xiangyang are different from the beef noodles in Lanzhou, and also different from the local beef noodles in Shanghai. The beef noodles in Xiangyang are filled with a layer of beef and beef offal, which makes foreigners feel that the meat does not cost money.

Beef noodles, beef offal noodles, and butter noodles are Xiangyang people's favorite breakfast. It is characterized by spicy, spicy, spicy, delicious, long-lasting aftertaste, and you will never tire of eating it for a long time.

What I eat is noodles, which have alkali, moderate amount of alkali, no bitterness, only the fragrance of noodles. Prepare the noodles the night before, soak them in water, add oil, mix well, and spread them in a big bamboo dustpan. In the early morning of the next day, two large pots were set up, one pot of white soup was boiling water, bubbling, steaming, white mist, rising slowly.

The other pot is red soup, which is boiled with butter and offal, spices, and chili peppers. There are red chili oil floating on it, and green garlic sprouts floating on it, which are completely motionless.

Two sides, a bowl of rice wine. The boss picked up a ball of noodles and threw it into the long-handled bamboo strainer, then grabbed a handful of crispy mung bean sprouts, sank them into the boiling white soup, and shook them calmly a few times.

The wrist moves up and down, but the arm does not rise and fall. After half a minute, when the small arm is raised, the bamboo fence draws a small arc in the air, and the noodles fall steadily into the bowl, and then they are served with red soup. The boss will add an extra spoonful of chili oil to you, and bring it to the table.

And Zhou Mochen didn't make noodles in advance, but it didn't prevent him from making noodles. There is also enough time. Brain the beef first, then make the noodles. Although the time is very tight, it is very simple for Zhou Mochen.

It was noon in a flash, and the noodles, beef, and soup were all ready. I looked at the time and started to post. The white soup is prepared for the four children. Adults have asked that they are all red soup.

It takes a long time to prepare, but very little time to make it.

"The noodles are ready, come to the kitchen and serve the noodles."

Following Zhou Mochen's actions, bowls of noodles were fished out.

"coming."

Zhou Mofan responded and ran in. The bowls were brought out.

"If it's not enough, there's still a kitchen. I'll download it later, it will be soon."

Zhou Mochen also came out after finishing the last bowl, and said with a smile.

"Dad, it's delicious!"

Zhou Xiangxiang did not forget to praise Zhou Mochen while eating beef noodles.

"You can say it. Eat obediently."

Zhou Mochen suddenly laughed.

"I think it's a big loss if my aunt doesn't come. This beef is so delicious."

Zhou Mofan said something with emotion.

"I don't like what I do."

Zhou Mochen replied with a smile.

"You are really Versailles. By the way, there was a big event last night. Did you give the recipe as soon as you said it?"

When Zhou Mofan woke up in the morning, he saw the information on Weibo. He usually pays attention to it, mainly telling his old man about Zhou Mochen's situation. got used to.

"It's nothing. It's just a formula. It's okay to see the boss."

Zhou Mochen responded.

The family chatted and ate. Very warm feeling. After the meal, the big aunt, sister-in-law, and uncle all came. When there are too many people, it is natural to want to play. Those who play mahjong play mahjong, and those who play cards play cards.

And Zhou Mochen didn't participate. Because he has to prepare the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner in advance. With Zhou Mochen's star marrow liquid, the seafood he brought back is still alive. A sumptuous seafood dinner in the evening. Grouper grouper is the main ingredient. Because it is relatively large.

Grouper grouper is a warm-water marine bottom fish, oval in shape, flat on the side, large mouth, with many bluish-black spots scattered on the side of the head, body and fins. It is a large and valuable edible fish. The whole body of the giant grouper is full of treasures. And Zhou Mochen plans to use one fish to make a whole fish feast. And still use Cantonese cuisine.

Dry-steamed deep-sea giant grouper with five-year-old plum vegetables. The essence of the grouper is selected. The cooking is simple and simple, classic steaming. The freshly-swimming giant grouper has an elegant umami taste. It is steamed with five-year-old dried plum vegetables. The fish meat uses the salty and savory flavor of air-drying to trigger an upgrade of the taste. Pick up each chopsticks and explore the surprises. The fish skull is rich in collagen, the fish belly is plump and tender, the water fins are smooth and chewy, the skin of the fish tail is refreshing and soft, and there are wisps of fresh sweetness in the fibers between the meat.

Thick fish fillets with Puning bean paste, slightly spicy gelatinous dragonfly, with natural knife skills, cut each piece of fish to a thickness of 0.2cm, use Puning bean paste as the finishing touch, and freeze at 230°C until every inch of fish is delicious and tender . When the casserole is on the table, as soon as the lid is lifted, the aroma escapes in all directions, and the jelly pot dances with the aroma. In the air of jelly wok, the flavor of dragon grouper is bloomed, hiding the extreme deliciousness of unique sauce aroma, the fish skin and fish meat are tender and connected, and the taste is changeable and mysterious.

Pan-fried dragon grouper steak, select live fish tail meat that often swings, and change the knife into a steak. The entrance is boneless, and you can enjoy the meat. It is firm and tender, and the lubrication is full of gelatin. Zhou Mochen watches the color and listens to the sound to distinguish the heat. The dragon grouper steak is domesticated by slow frying. Just a little salt is enough to stimulate the freshness and sweetness of the fish.

Gastrodia elata stewed long grouper eyes, super nourishing, with a faint taste of Chinese herbal medicine, fresh off eyebrows.

Roasted scallion belly with garlic and shallots at the bottom, enhancing the flavor and fragrance. The fish belly is smooth, oily, and salty.

Steamed grouper belly with tangerine peel and chopped green onion, the fish skin part is my favorite, it is sticky and glutinous, full of collagen, nourishing and delicious.

The stir-fried grouper with XO sauce is fragrant and tender, the asparagus is fresh and tender, and the fish is delicious.

The braised dragonfly wing with double winter mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and the bibimbap in soup are also top-notch.

In addition to dragon grouper, there are also king crabs. Different from steamed and fried with scallions in the past, Zhou Mochen chooses fried king crab with truffle and silver shreds.

Soak silver powder in a basin of warm water until it swells, then remove and drain. In addition, cut the black truffle into small pieces, steam the king crab in a cage, remove the meat, and set aside.

Put a little butter and scallion oil in a clean pot and heat it up, add ginger and sauté until fragrant, add crab meat, and cook with a little Huadiao wine, add vermicelli and mix with appropriate amount of broth, add chicken broth, Yipin fresh soy sauce, and add black truffle powder , Stir-fry over high heat until the vermicelli is dry and fragrant, sprinkle chopped green onion and stir evenly, and garnish with a little after putting on a plate.

And Zhao Jinmai even started to show off at the New Year's Eve banquet in a vicious manner. Because this year's dishes are all seafood, I didn't give much explanation. Simply take a photo and enter your name.

Zhao Jinmai also specifically told Zhou Mochen to notify her when he was going to fire.

Each photo made Zhao Jinmai hungry.

"hungry?"

Zhou Mochen smiled when he heard a different voice, and asked a question.

"Hmph. It's all your fault. It's so delicious."

Zhao Jinmai said something embarrassed.

"Hey, the porridge is ready, let me serve you a bowl of porridge."

As Zhou Mochen said, he took a bowl of porridge out of the casserole. It is porridge stewed with arctic shrimp. Arctic shrimp salty porridge.

"Yeah, it's so fresh."

Zhao Jinmai was immediately overwhelmed by the delicious taste of the arctic shrimp. Said with a smile.

"There are still a few dishes that will be ready soon, let the elder brother and the others set off the cannons."

Zhou Mochen smiled and continued cooking.

After a while, there was a lot of noise outside. Very lively. More than ten minutes later, a burst of crackling cannons sounded.

Then I saw two little guys running to the kitchen.

"Daddy, Daddy! Cannon!"

Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian each hold a leg. Look a little happy. It seems courageous.

"Dad knows. Be good, go outside to find Mom. Dad still has to cook. Okay!"

Zhou Mochen stopped what he was doing and said patiently.

"Uh-huh!"

After Zhou Xiangxiang finished speaking, he took his sister Zhou Qianqian and ran away.

After the cannons were set off, many people came to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and chopsticks.

And Zhao Jinmai continued her great career in photography. When Zhou Mochen finished, she would finish filming. Then transfer it to your mobile phone using bluetooth.

A few bursts were posted on Weibo. I don't care about my phone when everyone arrives. There is delicious food, who still looks at the phone. Doesn't that delay work?

Looking at the table full of seafood, everyone has long been accustomed to Zhou Mochen's unconventional playing cards. The physical condition of the whole family is good. Otherwise, this gout feast must be a blessing in disguise.

According to tradition, after Zhou Weimin said a few words of encouragement, the family started eating. Although I already knew that Zhou Mochen's culinary skills had improved, he was still taken aback when he actually ate it.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere gradually became intense.

"Xiaochen? Did Maimai tell you? Your sister has a boyfriend. After the Chinese New Year they will go to Sucheng to play. You can help entertain them."

Zhou Qingyou said something suddenly.

"Huh? I told you, aunt, don't worry, I will treat you well."

Zhou Mochen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood. It must be the aunt's intention to let him see, but Hu Bingyan doesn't know.

"Sister, it's not in vain to love you. You take care of food, lodging and play."

Hu Bingyan joked.

"Don't worry, sister. Leave it to my younger brother."

Zhou Mochen patted his chest and assured.

"Brother Mochen, do you think I can learn how to cook with you?"

Hu Jinyang looked at Zhou Mochen with a twinkle in his eyes. He was really moved. As I get older, I don't know what to do in the future. But every time I eat the dishes made by Zhou Mochen, I feel very happy. He is interested in learning how to cook.

"You? You belong to a family of children. The main task now is to go to school well. Let's talk about it after you graduate from college and want to study."

Zhou Mochen thought for a while and said something.

"Does Jinyang want to be a chef in the future?"

Zhou Qingya looked at her nephew unexpectedly.

"Auntie, I have this idea. I don't know what to do in the future. I heard some seniors say something about my major, and I don't like it. I don't want to take the public exam like my father. But I am very interested in food."

After Hu Jinyang finished speaking, he quietly looked at his parents.

"Stinky boy, what do you think I am doing? Do whatever you want. You choose the road yourself. Once you choose, you have to walk honestly. Your mother and I don't expect you to provide for the elderly. I have a house, In the future, I can still receive a pension after I retire, but if it’s not possible, I’ll come back here with your mother after I retire. Buy a small yard.”

What Hu Jianting said surprised everyone. His current position is not easy. Since relying on Zhou Mochen's relationship, it doesn't matter anymore. Retirement can also be promoted. It's not as hard as it used to be. It feels good to have an ordinary life.

"If you want to learn how to cook, your mother will support you. But your brother is right. It is not too late to learn how to cook after finishing college. But don't think about learning how to cook. Your brother has suffered a lot. Today's achievement. If you decide to learn, then be prepared to suffer."

Zhou Qingyou also agrees with her husband very much.

"I know my parents. Don't worry, I will think about it when I graduate."

Hu Jinyang nodded seriously.

"Haha, Jin Yang has grown up and is a man. If you want to learn, let your little brother teach you."

Zhou Weimin also said cheerfully. He liked this only nephew very much.

"Well, I see, uncle."

After speaking, he dealt with the food in the bowl again. The whole family drank and ate food lively.

And there was a wave of enthusiasm online. It was all caused by Zhao Jinmai's Weibo.

"I'll just say it. My Mai has to be naughty every year. But good guy, the cost of Zhou Shen's New Year's Eve dinner this year is a bit high."

"Nonsense, when will God Zhou have a New Year's Eve dinner? They are all good things."

"It's like this every year, and it prevents people from having a good New Year's Eve dinner. It's so annoying."

"Yeah. The saddest thing is that I watched it before the New Year's Eve dinner. Because the meal was late, I want to slap myself now."

"Haha, that's a tragedy for you. I'm fine. I watched it after the New Year's Eve dinner, but it made me hungry."

"There are so many dishes of lobster grouper, it can't be from a single fish."

"It seems to be a fish. You can see that there is a fish head in that dish. The fish head is too big. Calculate such a big fish head. The fish must weigh several tens of catties."

"The layout is small, the layout is small, the New Year's Eve banquet at my dignified Zhou Shen's house must be a hundred catties of fish."

Afterwards, more and more fans began to discuss Zhou Mochen's dishes, some professional and some unprofessional, and they all talked about the same thing.

In the evening, because of the road, everyone drank and it was almost over. Each family left a driver. After eating is the child's favorite time, giving out red envelopes. The first thing he wanted was Zhou Mochen.

A group of children led by Zhou Zixi asked Zhou Mochen for red envelopes, which made him dumbfounded. Fortunately, he prepared more in advance. Zhao Jinmai took the bag and handed out dozens of red envelopes to the little ones one by one. I also gave it to a few younger siblings who are in college. There are even a few elders. It's all just for fun.

The little guys were reluctant to leave when they left. However, he was coaxed back by his parents.

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, Zhou Mochen received a lot of messages and calls about New Year's greetings. Also played out a lot. Everyone invited Zhou Mochen to their home for New Year greetings. Zhou Mochen also agreed. Because the child was still young, except for the master and teacher, as well as Zhao Yumai's house, he basically didn't go there. This year, we need to come to the door one by one.

Zhou Mochen made a full schedule. It wasn't until the thirteenth day of the first lunar month that I returned to Sioux City. On the day of Shisi, he ran around several houses in Sioux City. At noon, I ate at Su's house. Because Zhao Jinmai has already apprenticed as a teacher.

In the evening, I found a few friends to have fun together. They all ran to Zhou Mochen's house.

They didn't go to bed until very late, mainly because Zhou Mochen and Zhao Jinmai quarreled very late, and things that were inconvenient outside were much more convenient at home. For this reason, Zhao Jinmai also paid for two sets of new costumes. Knowing that Zhou Mochen has a special hobby, he bought two new costumes. It's a pity that it was wiped out the first time I wore it. An angry Zhao Jinmai pinched Zhou Mochen for a long time, not knowing whether it was because of the clothes or something else. Anyway, Zhao Jinmai got up very late when he woke up the next day.

"Okay, baby, I'll make you something delicious, make up for it."

Zhou Mochen looked at Zhao Jinmai in his arms with a smile and said.

"Hmph, don't mess around next time."

Zhao Jinmai arched into Zhou Mochen's arms again.

"Okay, okay! You can sleep again. I'll go downstairs and cook."

After speaking, he kissed Zhao Jinmai's cheek. The latter smiled.

After washing up, Zhou Mochen went downstairs to make breakfast.

"Hey, it seems that I have to make room for the two of you."

Su Wenwen woke up early in the morning and saw that Wu Jinchuan was also at her home. When she came back last night, she didn't see Jiang Yingying. I thought they didn't come back.

"Oh, Wenwen. What are you talking about. We stayed at home because we came back late yesterday. He will go back at night."

Jiang Yingying blushed immediately. Although I didn't do anything yesterday. But she was still embarrassed to Su Wenwen. After all, she is her junior sister. And Fifth Jinchuan was beside him stroking his hair foolishly. I don't know how to answer it.

"Then you have to prepare. When you get married in the future, it's good to live here. I'll find a place to live near the store. Although I can't afford a house now, it's okay to rent it."

Su Wenwen said with a smile.

"That should also be me moving out. Stay here well."

Jiang Yingying replied with a smile. (end of this chapter)
