In the anticipation of the little ones, the new year finally arrived. No one slept that night; as soon as it passed midnight, they started setting the table and bringing out the dishes.
Zhang Yuan didn't go back. He stayed at the house, playing and chatting with everyone.
At this moment, he was helping Bai Ruxue serve the dishes.
Bai Ruxue, the head chef, prepared eight main dishes, symbolizing prosperity.
There was a full spread of chicken, duck, fish, meat, ribs, and sausages, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, with three vegetable dishes added.
Because everyone had been eating too much greasy food all day and she couldn't handle it anymore, she added a cold dish of mixed shredded vegetables.
Shredded radish, shredded cabbage, and some soaked and sliced black fungus from the supermarket, mixed with mashed garlic, chili oil, soy sauce, and some dressing she secretly took from the supermarket—a sour and spicy mix that was especially refreshing and well-received by everyone.
