After Hao Xin returned to the hometown hall after school, he saw Feng Ling standing behind Dalton for the first time, and his eyes were frozen on the waiter uniform that Feng Ling wore:

"Hao Xian! Why is this man wearing my clothes!"

Has just finished serving Dalton's fish skin corner and was about to go back to the kitchen to develop new dishes, Hao Xian turned around: "Oh, this is Feng Ling, the new waiter in our store. You can concentrate on going to school in the future and don't have to come to the store to help. Feng Ling may have done it. One person can do the work of several people!"

And there is no need to pay a salary! Hao Xin added in his heart.

"So you gave her my clothes?" Hao Xin looked at his bad brother in disbelief.

"Yes..." Hao Xian said blankly without understanding the problem.

Since the two of them were not talking, Ling Xiuyan from the ice cream shop opposite had been attracted to eat melons. At this moment, she stood outside the door and complained:

"Xiaoxian, you really don't understand the hearts of girls at all. Since you are a new waiter, of course you have to prepare a new uniform for her. How can you give her care? It's just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you have advanced to the finals of the Street Food Overlord Championship. New Year and new atmosphere. Go and find Luoluo to help you design a new waiter uniform!"

"Oh..." Hao Xian nodded in confusion, "Okay."

So they left Dalton who was having a meal and walked to the clothing store of Hualuoyu in the city mall.

When Hua Luoyu began to carefully measure the size of Feng Ling, Hao Xian suddenly reacted and said to Cai Ji, who was floating on his shoulder and unable to see others:

"Hey? Can Feng Ling be so far away from the main range hood?"

"I'm not that far away from the kitchen. It's only ten minutes away. As long as it doesn't exceed two kilometers, Feng Ling can move normally." Cai Ji replied.

Hao Xian nodded and thought to himself: In this way, can Feng Ling help me carry the vegetables when buying vegetables?

So, after the flowers fell and said, Hao Xian really took his sister and Feng Ling to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

The aunts in the vegetable market are well-informed and have long heard of Hao Xian participating in the competition. After asking about his well-being, he has been fighting with others openly and secretly, and has a verbal battle, Hao Xian, the "king of the vegetable market", finally bought some of the ingredients for making the New Year's Eve dinner the day after tomorrow at a price that he was satisfied with.

The business was very prosperous on the second and third days, as if it was influenced by the live broadcast of the Starlight Food Festival. Many guests came to taste Zuo Zongtang's chicken. Although there was no such dish on the menu, Hao Xian still satisfied the guests' appetite and greeted Xiao Ming, asking his studio to help make the new menu after the New Year.

After the afternoon market ended on Thursday, Hao Xian hung up a sign that was suspended on the door and began preparing for the evening New Year's Eve dinner.

"What will I do next?" Hao Xian asked Cai Ji.

Two days ago, while he was thinking about the recipe of Big Vegetables, Cai Ji suddenly proposed to teach him a meal of Beijing cuisine. Hao Xian naturally agreed happily, and had prepared all the ingredients and filled the large freezer in the kitchen of his hometown.

Yesterday afternoon, when there were fewer customers, he had already prepared cold dishes according to Cai Ji's instructions. Today, he would get the hot dishes and have the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening!

"What I want to teach you today is a Beijing-style people's family banquet - eight pigs and nine flowers!" Cai Ji said proudly with her waist.

The so-called family banquet, simple to say, is to hold a banquet at home, but in fact, the scope is very wide. From emperors, concubines, princes, princes, or literati, rich and powerful gentry, they can all have their own unique family banquets.

There are hundreds of family banquets for different themes, different reasons, different dynasties, different regions, different ethnic groups and different classes.

But these many kinds of family dinners have one thing in common: their theme is always reunion with relatives and friends, eliminating the old and welcoming the new.

Family banquets use "eating" as cultural carriers, harboring people's expectations for the future.

Although the family banquets between emperors and gentry are luxurious and generous, they may not necessarily have deeper humanity, culture, charm and affection than the family banquets of ordinary people.

"In the past, the middle and lower classes of the people in the capital had almost no family dinners with decent meals, but they attached great importance to family dinners.

"Northern my country has roughly similar eating habits, or a "big cuisine", that is, northern cuisine, referred to as northern cuisine. It roughly includes several major regions in Northeast China, North China, Shandong, especially cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan and Changchun in the northeast. What I want to teach you is the northern cuisine family banquet that the people in the capital are used to.

"When choosing a family banquet, you must consider whether your family's financial resources can bear it, but in the end, the banquet is much better than usual. Most of the common people's family banquets are "three festivals and two birthdays to meet relatives and friends". Usually, they are basically simple to eat, and only when they are three festivals and two birthdays and when they are welcomed by guests, it is possible to hold a family banquet.

"The three festivals refer to the Spring Festival, May and August Festival respectively. The Spring Festival is the lunar year, the May Festival is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the August Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival; the two birthdays refer to the birthday of the parents or the elders of the reign of the elders.

"Reception of relatives and friends generally refers to New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival. Because of the relationship between relatives and friends and eating habits, the reception banquets are mostly the same in terms of specifications and dishes selection, so they feel friendly and tasty. After years of continuation and inheritance, the banquets of people in the north have almost also had a relatively fixed banquet structure and model.

Cai Ji began to explain to Hao Xian with a serious expression:

"The most commonly used banquets for the people in the capital are pork, and they are appropriately equipped with chicken, duck, fish and shrimp to form the main ingredients for the banquet. In the early years, chicken, duck, fish and shrimp were relatively expensive, and those with poor families only had pork. However, the pork should be used to make the banquet flavor. In rural areas, almost every family raises pigs, and they will definitely prepare fresh New Year pigs before the New Year.

"Pig roosters are usually eaten at the pork banquet. As the name suggests, there are eight dishes, four large dishes, and four regular dishes.

"Big dishes are the so-called hard dishes, main dishes, and line dishes are equivalent to the green leaves that complement the large dishes, and the portion should be less.

"There are four small stir-frys after the items, most of which are home-cooked dishes made of pork and vegetables.

“At the end, a beet and a soup dish.

"In addition, there are four cold meat-filled tables, as well as other snacks and staple foods. A total of about twenty dishes are gathered, and there is a sumptuous Beijing-style family banquet!"

After hearing this, Hao Xian couldn't help but feel a little greedy and sighed: "So many!"

"I will teach you to make four major items, including roasted elbows, buckles, Sixi meatballs, and white meat in casserole. You must try to make them soft, fresh and fragrant, melt in your mouth, and have endless aftertaste."

“…There are so high requirements.”

"No interruption is allowed, work is started!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Naiji, please give me advice..."

...

In the evening, Hao Xin stood at the entrance of the hometown hall with a smile to welcome the visitors.

"Sister Sisi, hurry in and sit!"

"Sister Yan, Sister Luo Luo, sit down quickly!"

"Sister Chen Xi, Shishi, you are here too!"

"Uncle Li, Uncle Fan, it's great that you have time to come!"

"Oh, Dong Beibei and Lin Tianlu... go in."

The two people who arrived at the end always felt that they were not very popular, and were led by Feng Ling to Dalton to take their seats.

That night, except for the relatives and friends of the Hao family, the regulars of the hometown hall who were in a foreign land and could not reunite with their families for the New Year were invited.

Except Dalton, he has been waiting for the meal here since the daytime.

Everyone was there, Hao Xian, Hao Xin and Feng Ling started serving the dishes.
