Chapter 2719

It was the beginning of spring, but the day had become long. It was already a little dark before the usual dinner time at Sixo’ clock. The Red Lanterns on Taoxi road began to light up one after another because they felt that they were not bright enough. The bright lights brightened up the street that was a little dark.

The sky in the distance trembled, and people with good eyesight could see some stars in the sky, which were the traces left by fireworks when they visited the sky.

During festive times, there would always be people who liked to celebrate wantonly. Before night fell, some people had already started setting off fireworks.

“Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year to the two of you. I didn’t expect the two of you to come for the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

Wang Hong saw Zheng Jiawei and Wu Lin walking not far in front of them from a distance, so he immediately went up to greet them.

“Happy New Year! Author Wang, you’re getting more and more energetic. Do you have any ideas for your new book?” Zheng Jiawei greeted with a smile.

Wu Lin wasn’t familiar with Wang Hong, mainly because she didn’t have much vacation time. Therefore, she nodded to Wang Hong and stood aside quietly, waiting for Zheng Jiawei and Wang Hong to make small talk.

Seeing such a familiar scene, although Wang Hong still felt it was unbelievable that Wu Lin, who had such a high fighting strength, was now snuggling up to Zheng Jiawei like a little woman, he still couldn’t get used to it no matter how many times he saw it. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help sighing with emotion about the great power of love.

Every time this happened, Wang Hong couldn’t help but wonder why such a handsome, talented, and considerate young ace author like him wasn’t fated to meet his muse. It didn’t make sense.

Zheng Jiawei didn’t know about Wang Hong’s feelings. Otherwise, he would have told him that his single life had nothing to do with his external qualities. It was closely related to his strength because Wang Hong had done something after Hong Dou.

One of his female readers had a good chat with him. In order not to be deceived by his photo, Wang Hong even video-called a young lady. She was a soft and cute girl. After they got to the point, the young lady took the initiative to send him a gift. It was an exquisite and beautiful hexagonal glass bottle filled with dozens of white and Fat Rice.

It was white and translucent, and it looked very appetizing. The little girl was afraid that Wang Hong didn’t know what it meant, so she specially emphasized that this gift had to be carefully looked at.

After Wang Hong received a glass bottle of rice, he carefully admired it for half a day. He rushed to the appointed time to contact the little girl every day, washed it clean, and cooked it into crystal clear rice.

In order to explain things to the little girl and to learn from the lesson he had learned from the red bean, Wang Hong specially prepared a book and made detailed notes of the rice before and after cooking. Even the taste was recorded after tasting it carefully. He was this serious when preparing a new book. This time, he was full of confidence.

However, he didn’t expect that just as he video-called the young lady and talked about cooking the rice, before he could even describe the taste, the young lady’s expression changed instantly. Then, he couldn’t see her figure on the other end and hung up.

At first, Wang Hong thought that the signal was bad. However, after a few calls, the other side didn’t pick up. In the end, he couldn’t even get through. He knew that he must have been blacklisted.

Wang Hong felt that he had made sufficient preparations this time and there shouldn’t be any oversight. In a moment of depression, he went to find the heavenly Enchantress Fang Heng to complain. Then, the familiar diners all knew about Wang Hong’s dirty operation this time.

In the end, he found out that the little girl was obsessed with rice Eagle at that time, so she carved all the words she wanted to say on the rice. As she was not familiar with carving a word on a grain of rice, she had so much rice. However, Wang Hong cooked the rice and ate it without a second thought. No one could stand it.

Wang Hong felt that girls these days all had weird hobbies. Not only did they like red beans, but they also liked rice Eagles. Wouldn’t it be nice to eat rice if it was properly eaten? he didn’t think that it was his problem at all. If such a person didn’t want to be alone, he would be letting down other single dogs.

Although it had been a few months since the incident, Fang Heng couldn’t help but laugh at Wang Hong every time he saw him. If he didn’t get together with sister Xian, Wang Hong wouldn’t be able to get a girlfriend either. They were very familiar with each other’s relationship.

Wang Hong met Zheng Jiawei and Wu Lin. On the other side, Guo penghao also met Lei ti. However, the former met by accident, while the latter had an appointment with each other.

The two older single men pushed aside all the other banquets and chose to come to master chef Restaurant for the new year. Elder Fang, who had been following them around, also wanted to come here for the new year, but he was invited away in the end.

Although elder Fang’s wife was no longer around, he still had children and several direct disciples who were as close as family. He couldn’t possibly let his grandfather spend the new year all alone outside. He came to invite him alone but failed. Therefore, they took turns to persuade him with emotion and reason. Finally, in the morning, they picked up his grandfather and left. And just like that, they all left after eating Yuan Zhou’s brown sugar glutinous rice balls.

The customers came to Taoxi road one after another. Yuan Zhou also got busy from the very beginning.

In the morning, Yin ya also left after having lunch. She went back to Gusu city to spend the new year with her parents. This would be the last time she would spend the new year with her parents. In the future, if she wanted to spend the new year with her parents, she would also go with Yuan Zhou. However, this situation was probably very difficult to come true for Yuan Zhou. After all, Yuan Zhou couldn’t let go of the customers who would come for dinner on the evening of the 30th.

In order to keep Yuan Zhou company, Yin ya stayed until lunch was over before she left. She had stayed as long as she could. If she hadn’t bought the ticket in advance, she wouldn’t have been able to buy such a suitable ticket. She could go back just in time for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

“From next year onwards, I won’t be alone during the new year. That’s pretty good.”

Yuan Zhou looked at the new year gift from Yin ya on his waist and felt quite happy in his heart. A belt with complicated and beautiful patterns had replaced the low-key silk rope in the past and appeared particularly dazzling. Yin ya had embroidered it herself according to other people’s embroidery and had spent quite a lot of time on it. In order to keep it in the company so that Yuan Zhou wouldn’t know, she had to take a longer time. Fortunately, it was in time for the new year.

Yuan Zhou felt that even his waist had to be straightened today. It must be because the belt was too good to use. He was so confident.

For this year’s Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner, Yuan Zhou prepared the rice bowl. In order to prepare for the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner every year, Yuan Zhou had also spent a lot of effort. Tangyuans and dumplings were the basic ones that had been prepared long ago. In order to be creative and to let everyone eat happily and satisfactorily, he naturally had to put in a lot of effort.

Naturally, Yuan Zhou had spent a lot of effort on this year’s Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner. He prepared a huge bowl, at least the kind that was usually used to hold soup at home, with all kinds of dishes densely placed on it. At the bottom was the crystal clear and round rice. The fragrant rice was matched with various dishes with thick sauce. There were even meat dishes, which made people drool just by looking at it.

Of course, the dishes weren’t randomly chosen. Instead, the main characters of the New Year’s Eve dinner were chosen from various places, such as Dongpo Pork, Sixi meatballs, and of course, the absolute main character of Northeast cuisine, red braised pig’s hand. The red and shiny pig’s hand looked very appetizing.
