In Wuhai's mind, he was already fantasizing about the delicious food that would be served later.
"Speaking of which, I haven't watched the Spring Festival Gala in a long time. Last year, I only saw a few trending topics on Weibo," Wei Wei said.
Everyone finally realized what Wu Hai was planning. Therefore, Wang Hong immediately said, "It's better to watch the Spring Festival Gala with a lively atmosphere. The more the merrier. So, please count me in."
"Count me in, count me in." Su Mei raised her hand.
"Dad …" Wei Wei glanced at Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei nodded. Then, Wei Wei signed up as well.
"I feel like the Spring Festival Gala is not as good as before," Wei Wei said.
"I have a habit of watching the reruns of the Spring Festival Gala. Other than a few bad episodes, the rest are fine," Yu Chu said. "I don't think it's the Spring Festival Gala that has changed. It's just that the people watching the Spring Festival Gala have changed."
"Boss Yuan, I need to buy some snacks, such as dried fruits." Yu Chu stood up. His action meant that he would also stay to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
"No need. I'll prepare it," Yuan Zhou said.
Yu Chu nodded expressionlessly.
"Since we have nothing to do when we go back, we should accompany Boss Yuan for a while," Mr. Wei said.
"Yeah, yeah. We have nothing to do when we go back." Wang Hong followed Mr. Wei's footsteps.
Looking at how he had dropped the script, he wondered if Wang Hong had a guilty conscience for saying those words.
"I'm tired. Let's stay for a while longer," Chu Xiao was even more direct.
Zhong Xiaoxiao couldn't live without food. "Lalalala, the Spring Festival Gala is starting. We should enjoy the Spring Festival Gala while eating and watching the Spring Festival Gala."
Basically, everyone wanted to stay to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
"You guys don't have to stay here. Compass will be fine with me accompanying him. Two people is just right." Wuhai felt that the more people there were, the fewer snacks there would be.
"Hehe."
Wang Hong, Chu Xiao, and the others ignored Wuhai's words.
The warm yellow light shone in the restaurant, forming a contrast with the shadowy streets outside. Everyone was laughing and joking in the restaurant, while the streets outside were quiet.
Time was "peaceful" and "good".
Yuan Zhou had a hint of a smile in his eyes as he stood there and watched everyone argue for what was right. He felt very happy in his heart.
Everyone started to turn on the projector and adjust the angle.
On the way to the Spring Festival Gala.
"Dadada, Dadada!"
A series of light footsteps came from outside the shop. Yuan Zhou immediately turned back to the kitchen and brought a bowl to the door.
"Boss Yuan, Happy New Year." The granny smiled as she held a beautiful lunch box and looked at Yuan Zhou.
"Happy New Year, Granny. This is the poached egg I prepared for you. Please try it," said Yuan Zhou.
"How can you do that? I'm here to deliver Tangyuan. Why are you serving it to me?" The granny took a step back.
She knew that the food in Yuan Zhou's shop was very expensive. She didn't want Yuan Zhou to spend money at all.
"No, we're celebrating the New Year together, so we cooked together. Didn't you give me Tangyuan too? Isn't this for me?" Yuan Zhou looked at the light blue lunch box in the granny's hands.
"My cooking isn't good. It's just that Boss Yuan likes it every year. I definitely have to bring some for Boss Yuan to try. Eating Tangyuan on Lunar New Year's Eve is a good idea." The granny smiled. It was obvious that she was in a good mood.
"Then let's exchange and try your cooking." Yuan Zhou handed the bowl to the granny.
The granny smiled and handed the lunch box over. Then, she took the bowl from Yuan Zhou. The bowl wasn't big, but it was very deep. The soup couldn't spill out at all. It was perfect for her age.
"Granny, come in and eat with us. You can leave after eating," Yuan Zhou said.
"No, it's fine. Boss Yuan, you're busy. My nephew is still at home. I'll come back tomorrow to get the lunch box and bring you the bowl." The granny's hearing wasn't good, but she could definitely hear the noise in the restaurant from such a close distance.
Then, she turned and left. They were all young people. The granny didn't want to go in and spoil the mood, so she walked a little faster.
Yuan Zhou stood at the door and watched the granny disappear at the end of the street. Then, he returned to the restaurant and placed the Tangyuan in the kitchen. While Wu Hai and the others were adjusting the projector, he opened the lunch box and planned to eat dinner.
Just like in previous years, there were eight Tangyuan the size of a fist. They were white and chubby. They lay in the lunch box and looked very festive.
For this New Year's Eve celebration, Yuan Zhou prepared a lot of dried fruits and snacks, such as pistachios, pine nuts, green root fruits, peanuts, melon seeds, and other common foods. There were also some sweet cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, rice cakes, and other desserts. Other than that, there was also a big bowl of spicy sticks, mainly because some people liked spicy food.
That was why he was sure that Wu Hai could eat his fill. He didn't have to worry about the leftovers.
There was watermelon juice, lemon water, and a pot of tea.
It was the first time they stayed up to watch the Spring Festival Gala in The Kitchen God. Everyone was very excited. They ate the desserts and dried fruits, watched the Spring Festival Gala, and chatted about some trivial things.
Time passed unknowingly. Wei Wei was young and tired early. The first to say goodbye was Mr. Wei. He needed to go back for a while, so he left at 11: 30 pm.
Then, it was Zhong Xiaoxiao and Su Mei's turn. The two girls bade farewell to each other as they could be considered companions. Since it was so late at night, it wasn't easy to take a taxi. Yuan Zhou looked for several familiar drivers and finally found one that was still open.
"Thank you, Master Qian. It's the Spring Festival. Happy New Year." Yuan Zhou sent Zhong Xiaoxiao and Su Mei to the car.
"Hahaha, Happy New Year, Boss Yuan." Master Qian laughed and drove away.
On New Year's Eve, they were still working. There was no lack of people in China who didn't celebrate the New Year in order to make money.
The remaining four, Wu Hai, Wang Hong, Yu Chu, and Chu Xiao, were not so particular. They sat down casually, ate, and chatted.
"This skit is quite good. Don't you think so, Wu Shou?"
"Yeah, spicy strips are delicious. Don't fight with me."
"I heard that the Spring Festival Gala is lip-syncing. I wonder if it's true."
"It should be true. I'm afraid of mistakes."
"I think it's fake. What do you think, Boss Yuan?"
…
The New Year's bell rang. Only then did the music come to an end.
"Dad, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala in the future. I think it's quite good," Wei Wei said to Mr. Wei after washing up.
Mr. Wei nodded. "Okay. In the future, even if I don't have time to go to Boss Yuan's place, I'll watch the Spring Festival Gala with you."
"Okay." Wei Wei nodded.
Back in the shop.
[Xiaoya, Happy New Year!] Yuan Zhou sent blessings to Yin Ya at the right time.
[Blockhead, Happy New Year! Sleep early. You still have to wake up early tomorrow.] Yin Ya knew that Yuan Zhou would open his shop on the first day of the New Year, so she was very concerned about him.
[Okay. You sleep early too. Good night.] Yuan Zhou replied.
[Good night.] Yin Ya's team was also very fast.
Crackle, crackle.
The moment the New Year's bell rang, firecrackers sounded from afar. China was still used to welcoming the New Year with firecrackers.
Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, Yuan Zhou fell into a deep sleep. A new day had arrived.
