“Mom and dad, let me do it.” Walking to the kitchen on the fourth floor, Su Jing laughed when he saw that Su Zhenyue and Ye Qin had already killed the chickens and plucked them for cutting.
“Alright come, it will be faster that way.” Su Zhenyue said.
“Mom and dad, you should let elder brother prepare all the food, Elder brother’s food is delicious.” Su Ya giggles.
“You girl, you should learn how to cook, otherwise how can you marry someone? Come here and study with your brother.” Ye Qin glared at Su Ya and grinned. Su Ya sticks her tongue out but she dared not listen to her mother and comes over to help.
Su Jing took out his knife, took the chicken from Su Zhenyue’s hand and cut the chicken fluently with a knife and took out the internal organs, and then moved his wrist and the knife flickered. Ye Qin, Su Zhenyue, and Su Ya did not see it clearly but the whole chicken was cut into pieces. Then, Su Jing began to cut pork, beef, and other ingredients, which were also incredibly fast, making them dazzled.
Ye Qin, Su Zhenyue, and Su Ya have all seen Su Jing’s Knife skill, but even after seeing it several times, they still can’t help but marvel at it and at the same time, they can’t help being proud. Their son (brother) has the best Knife skills in the world. The title of Qingyun Town Young God of Cooking is really not for show. They really couldn’t help Su Jing with this so Ye Qin helped clean the materials and Su Zhenhong went to watch TV. Su Ya took couplets and posted them at the gate of the courtyard and the door of the fourth floor. She could not take it by herself, so when she called, the Cats and Dogs responded and ran to help. They seemed to be very happy and seemed to feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
Because it took a very long time to cook the soup, after more than three hours, a sumptuous dinner was served. The strong fragrance made Su Zhenyue, Ye Qin, and Su Ya all move their fingers. No matter how many times they eat Su Jing’s dishes, they couldn’t get enough of them.
However, before eating dinner, they have to go to “Respect the Gods”. Su Jing carried a dish, wine, candles, incense, firecrackers, and other materials to the village ancestral hall to worship the gods. They met fellow villagers on the road and greeted each other and gave out New Year greetings. After that, when they get home, they also need the stove and the door to light incense, toast, and firecrackers. Every family in the village continued to ring loud firecrackers, which was a celebration.
Then, it was to eat a reunion dinner. After Su Jing’s uncle Su Zhenhong’s family had their own reunion dinner, they went to Su Jing’s house together, had another meal, and had a drink and chat together. For Su Yan, today may be the happiest day for her, because not only she has new clothes and shoes to wear, but she also received a lot of red envelopes, everyone had given her one, so Su Yan had a permanent smile on her face. Of course, Su Jing also gave a big red envelope to his parents and sister.
In the evening, the village is even more lively. Su Family Village folks have a good relationship with each other, so they will come to each other, play mahjong, poker, and watch the Spring Festival Evening. Young people such as Su Jing, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and others went to the beach and lit a campfire to roasted a whole sheep to eat. Su Jing went to bring Shi Qing to play together, Su Liang and Su Xiaolin also brought their wives and children, Su Wenbin, Su Juan, Su Xiao, and other younger ones also came to join the fun, Zhu Jianhua also brought Liu Rin over to play.
There are still two barbecue vendors on the beach. Although everyone wants to have a good time during the Spring Festival, some people want to make a profit. Several groups of idle and boring city residents come here to eat barbecue, which makes it more lively.
Su Jing doesn’t need to roast the whole lamb by himself. Except that it will be made by him. Others are relatively casual as everyone starts to chat together and waits for a while. After a while, the roasted lamb becomes yellowish and oily and becomes fragrant. Everyone gulped down their saliva and one person grabbed a large piece and ate a mouthful of it with oil.
“Brother Jing, look at this, your name is on the Spring Festival Evening.”
“Goddess Murong Xian’er played your tune.”
Su Wenbin, Su Juan, and Su Xiao, who were playing on the beach, suddenly ran over and handed the phone to Su Jing. It was the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. Su Jing, Shi Qing, Zhu Jianhua, Liu Rin, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and others all came forward to see Su Jing’s name. Ancient Zither Tune: Ode to Joy; Player: Murong Xian’er; Composer: Su Jing.
“Brother Jing, is this Su Jing you?” Su Wenbin asked.
“It should be me.” Su Jing smiled. He had long known that Murong Xian’er would be on the Spring Festival Gala but did not know that she would add his own name. However, the name is only in the corner, and few people should notice it, so Su Jing feels that he should not worry about being famous again.
Su Wenbin clicks to play, Murong Xian’er sits in the middle of the stage, wearing a white long dress, her long hairs were fluttering. Coupled with the surrounding dance and beautiful atmosphere, the whole stage looked like a fairyland. Murong Xian’er slender jade fiddled with the strings, and the melodious Zither sounded. Everyone’s eyes lit up, because Su Jing rarely plays this tune, so no one except Shi Qing had heard this.
“This song is so beautiful.” Liu Rin praised.
“I generally don’t appreciate Ancient Zither, but I feel that this piece is really good.” Su Liang’s wife Zhao Yanru said. Others also agreed and although this tune is not played by Su Jing, but as a Zither magic song, the melody itself is extremely perfect. Coupled with Murong Xian’er Ancient Zither’s attainments, it’s really not a trivial matter.
Su Jing did not guess wrong. At first, no one noticed that there was a composer in the corner for a few seconds, but he ignored one simple question. What happened after this song became popular? Audiences all over the country were fascinated by this piece of music and couldn’t listen to it enough. So many ancient zither fans couldn’t help but search the Internet and found the composer Su Jing. Many ancient zither lovers already remember this name, they know that this person created and played the “Origin Cultivation Meditation Song”, “A Male Phoenix Seeking For a Female Phoenix”, “Ambush From the Ten Sides”. So uncontrollably, the words “Ode to Joy” and “Su Jing” were turned around in the WeChat group, and it is estimated that it will continue to ferment in the next few days.
“A ‘jing, why don’t you play it?” Zhu Jianhua suggested.
“Yeah, send us some New Year benefits.” Liu Rin smiled.
“We haven’t heard this song. I’ll tell you the other day that we are not believed by others. Play it quickly.” Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, Su Hu, and others also shouted, these guys didn’t listen to music very much and even they made a lot of noise.
This New Year’s Day, Su Jing is not in a mood to dispel everyone’s interest, so he went back and took the “Excellent Luster” Ancient Zither. Although it is actually in his storage bag, it can’t be taken out in front of everyone.
However, Su Jing returned to the beach and saw that they had a quarrel with several tourists. A group of people moved many fireworks, but they were stopped by Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and others. The scene smelt like gunpowder and Su Jing wondered before asking: “What’s going on?”
