"It's almost Chinese New Year …" Chen Ze stood in the kitchen and looked at his phone silently.
Originally, Chen Ze didn't expect it to be Chinese New Year's Eve today. It wasn't until he opened QQ and saw a group of people sending Chinese New Year red packets that he realized what day it was.
"Store Manager, what is Chinese New Year?" Betty looked curiously. She couldn't understand the magical item in Chen Ze's hand.
"It's … a new year. Tomorrow is a new year." Chen Ze scratched his head. He really couldn't explain what Chinese New Year was. After all, if he had to explain, Chen Ze had to slowly start from the origin of Chinese New Year.
"The people in your world are so strange. Isn't it just a new year?" Betty couldn't understand. In Betty's memory, even if a new year came, it was just a new year. What was the big deal?
Chen Ze didn't say anything. People from other countries couldn't understand the feelings of Hua Xia's children. Chen Ze didn't expect Betty, a succubus from another world, to understand.
However … Chen Ze was a little melancholy. In the past, Chen Ze would choose to go back to his hometown to celebrate Chinese New Year with his family. However, it was obvious that he couldn't do that this year.
His parents were still traveling in Europe today. Chen Ze had just scrolled through his WeChat Moments and saw his mother's photo.
Chen Xingchen was probably going crazy in Japan. Chen Ze had just received a photo of Mount Fuji from his sister.
This was originally a good thing. Chen Ze had grown up now. It was quite good that he could enjoy the happiness of his parents and sister.
"But it's still a little lonely …" Chen Ze sighed. On this day of family reunion, he was all alone …
"Tsk, it must be because I'm bored." Chen Ze shook his head. Is the phone not fun or the Chinese New Year's Eve not good?
"Let's have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight, Betty." Chen Ze shook his head and decided to show off his cooking skills tonight.
"Okay, Store Manager!" Betty nodded immediately with a face full of excitement.
Although she still didn't know what Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was, it was still food. As long as it was food, Betty was interested.
Chen Ze smiled and rolled up his sleeves to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
The New Year's Eve dinner was different from place to place, or it could be said that every family's New Year's Eve dinner was different, but the basic ingredients were still the same.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinner usually had to have fish, meat, mutton, beef, chicken and duck.... In some places, local specialties's snacks.
"Let me think … For chicken, we'll make ghost chicken. For duck, how about roast duck?" Chen Ze scratched his head. He knew how to make ghost chicken. After all, his mother was an expert at making Dai dishes.
But roast duck … Chen Ze felt that this problem was a bit difficult. He had never made roast duck before, and the restaurant did not have the necessary tools for roast duck.
"Let's order takeout then." Thanks to the almighty takeout, Chen Ze bought five roast ducks as he wished even though it was Chinese New Year's Eve and the delivery fee was exorbitant.
Why did he buy five? Chen Ze was sure that there would be more customers coming today. Since he was celebrating Chinese New Year, Chen Ze was willing to let these guests from another world celebrate Chinese New Year with him.
"Braised pork with soy sauce then. Beef … steak is just right. Roasted lamb tail is also delicious. For fish, a serving of Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Pickled Cabbage and Curry Beef. For soup, I want seaweed and egg drop soup." Chen Ze rubbed his hands excitedly. He was no longer the ignorant person he used to be.
Chinese New Year takeout was as fast as ever. Chen Ze received a call soon and went out to get his roast duck.
"Happy Chinese New Year, young man." Chen Ze took out a red packet with a smile. Although the red packet was supposed to be given tomorrow, Chen Ze wouldn't order takeout tomorrow.
The young man was stunned. There were many takeout deliveries today, but most of them said "Happy Chinese New Year". Chen Ze was the only one who gave him a red packet.
"Happy Chinese New Year, sir." The young man took the red packet with a smile and put it in his pocket.
Chen Ze carried the roast duck and entered the restaurant through the small door. Then, he saw a familiar bald head.
"Saitama?" Chen Ze was a little happy. Among all the customers, the only bald head was this big boss.
Sure enough, he turned around and saw Saitama.
"Hey, boss, is today a special day?" Saitama remembered that Chen Ze said that every day was a special day.
"Of course. Today is not only a special day, but also a Chinese New Year. Happy Chinese New Year, Saitama." Chen Ze cupped his hands happily.
"Chinese New Year?" Saitama was a little confused.
However, Chen Ze didn't explain in detail. Instead, he said that it was a holiday in his country, so Saitama didn't ask.
"Then give me a set of today's special meal!" Saitama put a 100-yuan coin on the table.
"Saitama, do you want to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us?" Chen Ze asked with a little expectation.
"Huh?"
"It's free!"
"Okay!" It was an expected answer.
After getting the answer, Chen Ze went back to the kitchen happily and started to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner as fast as he could.
When Chen Ze finished cooking the Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage, he heard the pleasant sound of the wind chime.
Then, he heard Betty's voice. "Andrew, Elena! You're finally here? Come upstairs with me and take a shower. "
Chen Ze smiled. With these two children, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was more lively.
Elena looked at Saitama curiously. Saitama's bald head attracted her attention, but she was very obedient and didn't say anything. She followed Betty to the second floor to take a shower.
When Chen Ze finished cooking the Ghost Chicken, he heard the sound of the wind chime again.
"What's the occasion today? Why are there so many guests? " Chen Ze was a little curious and also a little happy. Although he didn't know why he was so happy.
"Hmph, human, make me a Buffy." Chen Ze smiled. He knew that this was Lavra, the arrogant little vampire loli.
"Betty, come and take these dishes out." Chen Ze called Betty over to serve the dishes. Just now, Chen Ze overheard Betty explaining to the guests that today's dishes were for everyone to eat together. It was called something like a New Year's Eve dinner.
"Okay, manager." Betty walked in and took out the dishes that Chen Ze made.
Lavra sat at the big round table with great interest. Elena was next to her. Lavra seemed to like this child very much.
Andrew sat next to his sister. He glanced at Lavra from time to time. Of course, it wasn't because he was obsessed with Lavra's beauty, but because he felt that Lavra's scent made him feel a little uncomfortable.
When Chen Ze took out the last roast duck, another guest came in.
Stan looked at the people sitting around the round table in surprise. Then, he was called over by Chen Ze.
"So many dishes?" Betty looked at the dishes in front of her in surprise and licked her lips subconsciously.
"Uncle Manager's cooking must be delicious!" Elena pretended to be calm and kept a straight face. Andrew nodded silently.
"Tsk, it's so-so." Lavra looked disdainful.
"Oh, it's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" Saitama only cared about the food.
"The manager seems to be in a good mood today." Stan looked at the cup in front of him. In it was a Buffy made by Chen Ze.
Chen Ze smiled. Looking at the lively table, he suddenly felt a lot better.
"Happy Chinese New Year everyone!"
