Chapter 178: Zodiac Year

Feng Yi and Bai Lu sent messages asking about ordering food.

We don’t order New Year’s Eve dinner at the hotel, but Bai Lu said before that we can order food in advance and have it delivered to our home.

Bai Lu has recently been helping out in various restaurants and stores of his family, and has been transferred wherever he is needed. At this time, I was taking some time to sit in the lounge and drink sugar water.

The sugar water they are talking about here is not white sugar or brown sugar mixed with water, but a name for certain desserts in this area.

When Bai Lu takes time to rest, he will add ingredients to make a bowl of sugar water according to his own taste. He has a tricky mouth and makes different sugar drinks at different times. His mood will also affect his choice of ingredients.

Bai Lu was in a good mood today and Le Dian Dian was enjoying a short leisure time. When he saw Feng Yi's message, he immediately replied. Then he asked what Feng Yi was doing. He knew that Feng Yi had returned to Yangcheng and was not busy now, so he made a video call.

"Brother Yi, are you really back? I just read the discussion on the Internet. Some people said that you have returned to China. I thought it was those people who were talking nonsense again."

After Feng Yi caught the giant python, he hid in the hotel and did not go out. All kinds of rumors were flying outside, about being seriously injured, about being investigated for using extreme measures to deal with the giant python... It seemed true. However, after Feng Yi attended the press conference, those rumors were naturally dispelled.

This time, after not seeing each other for two days, some people said that Feng Yi returned to China early and the Chinese New Year was coming soon. Maybe he came back to China specially to celebrate the New Year?

Most people online are skeptical about this.

Bai Lu didn't believe it either.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yi really came back!

Because of the doctor's affairs, Feng Yi didn't pay attention to the trends on the Internet.

"Are those reporters still staring at me?" Feng Yi said.

"I can't help it, you are a hot topic. Reporters and some self-media are all staring at you. Yesterday, I saw an online anchor saying that he was going to Florida to meet you for the New Year. It seems that in the end he will only be lonely. ”

"There are still people running to Florida now? Besides, a plan that goes all out is not an encounter."

"Routine operation, Internet art life. There is a restaurant in the north of my home city. Once I met someone when I went there, ordered a few dishes, posed for two hours, and ate for five minutes."

Bai Lu curiously asked a few questions about the python hunting activity. If it hadn't been for the Chinese New Year and his family's business was busy, he would have called a few friends to go to Florida to join in the fun.

"By the way, Brother Yi, how many dishes do you want? Do you want me to recommend it to you? This month, my family has launched a new dish, which was included in the New Year's Eve dinner set by my dad. It is very popular and has a lot of people ordering. Or , let me recommend you the latest version of the menu... Is your chef here?"

"He will come back tomorrow." Feng Yi said.

"If your skills are good, some dishes can be sent directly to the chef for processing, so as not to compromise the taste of the finished product."

Feng Yi also thinks this method is acceptable.

Some ingredients need to be prepared in advance. Moreover, this time there are 7 people in the family eating together, including Feng Yi, who has a big appetite. Xiao Bing cannot prepare so much and does not have enough time.

Feng Yi came back early without telling Xiao Bing, so there were many things that went beyond Xiao Bing's plan.

It’s much more convenient to have semi-finished ingredients.

Bai Lu sent Feng Yi the latest version of the menu he had compiled himself, which he had compiled himself and recommended to many people. There were many people who wanted to order food from his restaurant, and he sent this menu to all those who were familiar with Bai Lu. Some people have already ordered New Year’s Eve dinners at their homes, but there are also various family banquets in the first month, so we also order meals from their homes in advance.

"I'm so busy during this period that I don't have time to watch online live broadcasts. There's still time difference between the two sides. I can only find time during the day to watch videos compiled by others."

Bai Lu said a few words, drank sugar water, and then continued.

From the online trends, he talked about his "slimming" koi, and then to his daily busy work.

Bai Lu helps in various stores of his family. According to what he said, he only helps taste dishes, do odd jobs, and run errands. He has no decision-making power. It’s not that his father and brother don’t want to delegate power to him. In fact, Bai Lu is too easy to be People cheat.

"Those people didn't get any favors from my parents and my brother, so they all stared at me! Brother Yi, you don't know, those people are cunning! Some uncle came up with a smile on his face and held my hand tightly, The extremely enthusiastic tone made me feel dizzy and light-headed. I just wanted to send him away quickly. I couldn't react to what I said. When I came back to my senses... Oh, I just agreed? What?!

"So now I don't care about booking tables and seating arrangements." After Bai Lu finished speaking, he put two more spoonfuls of sugar water into his mouth to relieve the bitterness in his heart, "It's too difficult for me!"

"I see you are quite diligent." Feng Yi had just checked Bai Lu's circle of friends. This kid got up very early in the morning and had to work overtime at night.

Bai Lu whispered: "There is a red envelope."

Feng Yi was stunned. Speaking of red envelopes, should he also prepare one for several employees?

Over there, Bai Lu was talking, and his father opened the door to the lounge and came in.

"Who are you talking to? You're taking advantage of the opportunity to be lazy again!"

"I'm not lazy, I just took some time to rest! I'm talking to Brother Yi about ordering food."

His dad didn't pay attention at first, "Which Brother Yi?"

Bai Lu looked around, came over and whispered, "Feng Yi."

Boss Bai raised his eyebrows. He was about to say a few words to Feng Yi, but someone was looking for him outside, so he had to leave first.

After Bai Lu finished drinking a bowl of sugar water, he couldn't continue to be lazy.

"Brother Yi, just leave me a message when you decide. There are two more in your community. If the time is the same, someone will be sent to deliver it together."

"Okay, thanks."

After talking to Bai Lu, Feng Yi asked Xiao Bing about the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, and sent the menu recommended by Bai Lu to Xiao Bing.

After deleting and subtracting, Feng Yi sent Xiao Bing's revised list to Bai Lu.

After solving the New Year's Eve dinner, Feng Yi sent another message to Uncle Ya.

Uncle Ya was alone in the ancestral home in Xiaofengshan, and he was probably spending the New Year alone. Feng Yi thought about bringing him over to celebrate the New Year together. However...

[I have an appointment! I won't go! ]

Feng Yi: "..."

Okay.

After thinking about it, Feng Yi sent him another message:

[I will go to the ancestral home on the first day of the new year. ]

Go to see Uncle Ya and pay homage there.

Uncle Ya: [Got it! ]

After the text message, there was a voice message.

It's so rare that Uncle Ya would send a voice message. The old man can't speak at all, so he sent a voice message?

Clicked it, it was the sound of playing mahjong.

Feng Yi: "..."

Got it.

Excuse me!

Feng Yi told the housekeeper about Uncle Mute. He knew that the two old men knew each other.

After listening, the housekeeper said: "You don't have to worry too much. He has made his own decision. He probably made an appointment with someone for the New Year's Eve dinner. After dinner, they can play cards together. As for playing mahjong, he can't talk, but you can ask someone to help him talk."

Uncle Mute didn't come, so they were the only ones.

Xiaojia and Xiaoding arrived in the evening, and the next morning, Xiaobing and Xiaoyi also came back.

In the morning, Feng Yi and Xiaojia drove out to buy some things and decorate the house, which had a sense of ritual for the New Year.

The pointer of the twelve zodiac signs will turn from "snake" to "horse".

The windows, doors, walls, various small objects, and other places in the residential area, the faded snake patterns are replaced by bright horses.

Old people often say that the birth year is a hurdle.

Feng Yi doesn't know if this is a hurdle for him.

In the past year, his life has encountered a huge turning point.

There are disasters and blessings, worries and joys.

The days ahead will not be peaceful, but there will be more new expectations.

In life, we should always look forward.

I will update a short chapter first.

I need to get up early tomorrow!
