Li Zhongxin looked at his mother who was proudly turning away from his room, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

Li Zhongxin thought depressedly, what is this called? I am your son, okay?

Now, before the daughter-in-law has been married, her son has completely lost any status at home. He ranks third in the family, or the last in the family, and has become fourth in the ranking, and his status is getting lower and lower.

He is now left to him about cooking and New Year's Eve dinner on the thirty night, and he has no room for resistance, and his life is too hard.

After shaking his head a few times, Li Zhongxin slowly got up from the bed, habitually folded the quilt, placed it in a predetermined position, and then pushed open the door to go to the bathroom to wash.

"Sister Xu, you can get some hard work for the meal tonight. Try to prepare it as much as possible. It will be more convenient for me to make it here.

Two days ago, my mother seemed to have given you a menu. Wait for me to standardize it, and then you can follow that preparation." After Li Zhongxin finished washing and arrived at the kitchen, he did not go over and eat directly with his parents, but started talking to the chef Sister Xu.

Li Zhongxin didn't say anything about the mother's holiday for the nanny and chef during the Spring Festival. After all, they all have homes and children. He really couldn't make it. He asked them to cook at his house for both the thirty and the New Year. However, Li Zhongxin felt that it would be okay to ask the chef Sister Xu to prepare the meals he had to cook on the thirty night.

Wang Yaqing told Li Zhongxin that there were only four of them who had dinner on the thirty night, but the meal had to be more than eight dishes, and she was not idle for ten dishes. She could cook the things according to the requirements of the family during the Chinese New Year before.

After chef Xu brought the menu to the chef, Li Zhongxin marked four cold dishes and six hot dishes on it, and told Sister Xu about his request.

Li Zhongxin is quite aware of the food he ate on the night of 30. For cold dishes, a home-cooked cold dish with some shredded cucumber, shredded tofu, shredded cabbage and vermicelli, etc. This is more greasy and is a must-have cold dish at home every year. The other cold dishes are beef tendon meat dipped in garlic paste, mixed with three shreds and cold spinach.

The first thing to do is to follow the mother's ideas and requirements is to have all chicken, fish, meat and eggs. For meat, it is usually stewed with hazel mushrooms with steamed elbow meat, fish is braised big yellow croaker, egg is tiger skin egg, and the remaining two dishes, Li Zhongxin is preparing to make two seafood, steamed slush crab and scallion sea cucumber.

What about these dishes! Li Zhongxin thinks it is quite good at this time, especially the wild fresh yellow croaker, which is salvaged from the sea and placed directly in a foam box with ice and air transported with fresh seafood.

Li Zhongxin knew in his heart that Sister Xu could basically make 70% of these dishes for him. The remaining ones, namely braised yellow croaker and onion, are still troublesome, and the others are very simple.

Li Zhongxin told Sister Xu about the food. After having a simple meal with her parents, he called Feng Banshan to drive to Haruko to pick him up.

Li Zhongxin told Feng Banshan directly about Haruko's assistant and bodyguard, asking Feng Banshan to communicate with Zhao Yuanyuan to see how to arrange it. Anyway, they would not be able to go home to celebrate the New Year with them when they were thirty years old.

When Li Zhongxin and Haruko came into the house, they saw their parents sitting at the mahjong table. The old couple were posing mahjong at home while waiting for him and Haruko.

Li Zhongxin was very depressed and played eight rounds of mahjong with his parents and Haruko, and then went to make dinner. After cooking, he not only had to clean up the food on the table, but also cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. In short, as long as it was for work, he was assigned to Li Zhongxin by Wang Yaqing and Li Shangyong. Even Haruko took the initiative to ask for work, neither of them allowed it.

Li Zhongxin's family was thirty and had dinner early. Because he didn't drink, he finished his meal before five o'clock. When Li Zhongxin finished cleaning up, it was not yet six o'clock. So, under the threat of Wang Yaqing and Li Shangyong, Li Zhongxin continued to play mahjong with the old couple, and played until almost eight o'clock in the evening, which was considered a dispersal.

After the breakup, Wang Yaqing and Li Shangyong arrested Haruko and went to watch the Spring Festival Gala together, while Li Zhongxin was asked by his parents to make dumpling stuffing for thirty nights.

There is a saying in Li Zhongxin's family that he would stay up to the New Year at the night of 30. When the Spring Festival Gala was over 10:30, everyone would make dumplings together. When the New Year bell rang, they would eat dumplings when the New Year bell rang. Then the juniors would greet the elders.

Such a custom continued until this time, and Li Zhongxin could only endure it. He could not let his parents do this, or let Haruko do this.

Li Zhongxin kneaded the noodles and made dumpling fillings. It took him an hour to prepare the thirty-year-old dumpling fillings and dumpling noodles.

"Haruko! You have to learn about this. In our China, especially in the Northeast, as long as we grow up, we must learn to make dumplings.

Usually, we don’t cook rice, but during the Chinese New Year we have to make dumplings, why should everyone learn to make dumplings? This is because this dumpling was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was used for medicinal treatment at that time. When eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year, we won’t get sick in the new year.

Some people say that dumplings are shaped like ingots, which means a lot of money. Eating dumplings during the New Year means making money in the New Year.

The reason why we make dumplings here is called "he" noodles is because we have the meaning of harmony and beauty, and roll out the round dumpling skin, which means reunion. This reunion symbolizes the fusion of blood among relatives. When family members gather together to eat dumplings, they are reunion for the whole family.

Different dumpling fillings also have different meanings. For example, beef filling means a bumper grain and prosperous animal, mutton filling is auspicious and wishful, and pork filling means great wealth. When making dumplings, people often wrap golden Ruyi, brown sugar, peanuts, dates and chestnuts into the filling. Those who eat Ruyi and brown sugar will have a sweeter life in the coming year. Those who eat peanuts will be healthy and long-lasting, and those who eat dates and chestnuts will have a noble son early.
