Chapter 393 New Year
Time flies, and the New Year is here in the blink of an eye.
Hu Zi has been going out frequently to buy New Year's goods recently, and in two days San'er and Yao Keyan will be back too.
After returning from Myanmar Jade City, San'er did not go there. He called Lei Hong over, and Lei Hong was responsible for handling the affairs in Myanmar Jade City. He settled down in Myanmar Jade City with his wife.
Hu Zi tidied the room beautifully, hung many red lanterns under the eaves, and decorated the entire villa with mulberries.
He also took advantage of the opportunity before the Chinese New Year to hire a few nannies to clean the entire villa from inside to outside.
Chen Yimin could clearly feel that the whole villa had changed. It was a little deserted before, but after Hu Zi's careful decoration, the villa became warm and more like his home .
On New Year's Eve, Chen Yimin invited his friends to his home and brought Lao Shangen to the villa. He wanted Lao Shangen to live with him before, but Lao Shangen was already familiar with his yard and had always disagreed. Chen Yimin felt that he was too lonely during the New Year.
He was dragged here by force, and this year's festival is particularly lively.
San'er and Yao Keyan both came, as well as some people from the Yao family. Zhou Hao went back home to celebrate the New Year this year. The Gu family's father and son both came, and Li Feilong also brought his wife to participate.
Xia Li first had dinner at home before going to Chen Yimin's villa.
Huzi prepared a table of delicious food, and Chen Yimin opened two jars of Xianrenzui for them to drink. After dinner, it was still early, so Li Feilong wanted to play mahjong with them. Chen Yimin didn't know how to play, so he watched for a while and couldn't help but play a few rounds.
At first, he lost one or two times, but later, he was the first to win every time. Seeing that the chips in front of him were getting more and more, Lao Shan Gen kicked him out of the mahjong circle and called Hu Zi over.
Lao Shangen was so angry that he blew his nose and glared, "You're going to bankrupt us all if you play like this, so you'd better not come, let Hu Zi come over. People like Hu Zi are the ones who concentrate on playing mahjong, do you call this playing mahjong? It's clearly cheating!"
There is no need to talk about how powerful Chen Yimin is. The most important thing is that he will not feed cards to his master. What's the use of him?
Hu Zi can play this, but his skills are not very good. He can neither lose nor win when playing against them.
After being driven away, Chen Yimin shrugged helplessly. Is it his fault that he is so powerful?
It's because Lao Shangen is just not good at playing. He secretly passed the cards to Lao Shangen several times, but Lao Shangen couldn't control it at all. How could he blame his apprentice for cheating?
However, Li Feilong and Gu Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although they also felt that Chen Yimin was amazing, they did not dare to say it openly.
Fortunately, Lao Shan Gen said it, otherwise the game would have ended early.
Chen Yimin sighed and simply went to fiddle with Hu Zi's grill. They didn't cook in the evening, Hu Zi said they would make barbecue.
Hu Zi has been obsessed with watching videos recently. He has seen many tutorials on the Internet and on a whim, he also said that he would eat barbecue on New Year's Eve. Chen Yimin doesn't care, after all, he can eat anything.
Sang Guo had been here for so long, but she had never had a barbecue, and she had never even gone out at night. When she heard about this, she immediately jumped up with joy, and saw Chen Yimin fiddling with the barbecue grill, with Sang Guo circling around him.
“Is this really delicious?”
Chen Yimin glanced at her: "Never eaten it?"
Sang Guo nodded: "We don't have this thing where we are. We roast it directly over the fire. I have never seen it roasted on a rack."
Chen Yimin smiled and said that to put it bluntly, it seems to be about the same.
He quietly reached out his hand and heated the stove with his own heating power, then put some charcoal in the stove and said to Sang Guo, "I'll make you something to try."
In fact, she had just eaten and was not too hungry yet, but she was so curious about barbecue that she agreed.
Chen Yimin had never cooked before, but he roughly knew what was going on. He placed the skewers that had been skewered with beard on the grill, and then poured a spoonful of oil on them.
With a bang, the stove caught fire. The raging fire alarmed the people in the villa, and Hu Zi rubbed off the card table.
Damn it!
This was something Chen Yimin never expected. He thought barbecue was simple, but it was actually very difficult. He saw Hu Zi doing it this way every day, but how come a fire broke out as soon as he tried it?
Chen Yimin sighed, and Hu Zi took Sang Guo aside, asking her to stay away from this place. Chen Yimin's cooking was really horrible, just like making biological weapons, and it almost exploded.
If he added a little more oil, Hu Zi was sure that the stove would explode. "How can you barbecue like this? Have you ever seen a pig run before eating pork?"
The most important thing is that Sang Guo was just next to him, it was really too dangerous.
What if the stove explodes and hurts Sang Guo? On weekdays, when I cook, I never let Sang Guo stay by my side.
Hu Zi looked at him with a slightly disapproving look, shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, you have to be careful. Sang Guo is a girl. You have to keep her away from all dangers and protect her. How can you create danger for her?"
Come on.
Chen Yimin could see that Sang Guo had captured Hu Zi's heart and made him protect her so much.
Chen Yimin felt a little annoyed. To him, it was extremely normal for children to have some bumps and bruises during their growth.
San'er took the fire extinguisher and quickly put out the raging fire. He raised his eyebrows and shrugged, "It seems that Brother Chen is not omnipotent. At least he can't cook."
Chen Yimin coughed lightly and returned to the living room.
Sang Guo was already sitting in the living room, eating dessert and watching TV. Hu Zi left, and Lao Shangen pulled Wang Fugui over. Wang Fugui knew a little bit about mahjong, but he was not very proficient.
Lao Shan Gen was playing with him and was very happy.
The people at the table were playing mahjong, while Yao Fangxiu and Yao Cang from the Yao family were reading Chen Yimin's book. They were completely immersed in it and felt that the book was written very exquisitely.
At the same time, they had a little more respect for Chen Yimin. If they had this book, they would definitely keep it as a treasure. It was a secret of their Yao family and would never be shown to outsiders. However, they did not expect that Chen Yimin would give it to them so generously.
He also said that if they needed it, he could give them a copy so they could take it home and read it. This touched them deeply and made them more determined to get along well with him.
Yao Keyan was eating the medicinal food in the bowl, feeling so sad that he could not even cry. It was New Year's Day, and he was the only one who was forced to eat this kind of tonic.
