Chapter 686

There will be a big dinner tonight, and Li Du wants to show off.

In the end, Mrs. Martin stopped him and said, "It's enough for the man to prepare the Christmas tree, and the Christmas Eve dinner is given to the woman. You have to let the woman show herself, right?"

Sophie, who was tying ribbons to the Christmas tree, made a grimace, and said with a grin, "I'm here to show myself, Mom, I remember that I made all the Christmas Eve dinners for several years."

Mrs. Martin smiled kindly: "Of course, who gave me a capable and good daughter? But I have to prepare snacks, which are always baked by me, right?"

Turkey is indispensable for Christmas. The Martins have prepared the ingredients, and Sophie is busy in the kitchen, filling the turkey with spices and vegetables.

When Li Du came back from the bathroom, he asked, "Do you need my help?"

Sophie pushed him away and said, "Leave it to me, these are too simple, I can handle them easily."

It gets dark early in winter, and today's weather is not good, with overcast clouds, so Li Du feels that the sky is getting dark earlier than usual.

But at this time, the whole of the United States is brightly lit, whether it is a high-end villa area or a slum, every household is decorated with lights to celebrate the annual Christmas Eve.

As night fell, Sophie and Mrs. Martin began to tinker with dishes on the table, and the Christmas Eve dinner was about to begin.

"First is an appetizer, boiled apples in cinnamon red wine." Sophie came over with a big soup bowl, and she waved it in front of Li Du as if showing off, "How about it, how does it look?"

In the crystal red wine, a few pieces of snow-white apples float in it, and some brown-gray powder is sprinkled on it. Needless to say, this is cinnamon powder. The cinnamon that Americans eat is Chinese cinnamon, but they like to grind it into powder to enhance the taste.

Li Du gave a thumbs up and said, "It looks great."

Sophie said proudly: "Not only does it look great, but it also tastes great. Come on, try it."

She scooped up a bowl for each of the four of them, and the crisp noodles stretched out her claws underneath and scratched her skirt, looking forward to it, and licking her mouth with her pink and tender tongue.

Sophie patted her forehead and asked, "Li, did you bring them food bowls?"

Li Du drank the red wine soup and said, "I forgot, just find a bowl."

Mr. Martin said: "It's such a simple matter. Let's pour a bowl for each of us, and let them drink the rest. When the time comes, just sterilize the soup bowl."

Sophie shook her head and said, "That can't be done."

"Why not?" Mr. Martin wondered, picked up the soup bowl and put it on the ground, and greeted him kindly, "Come on, cuties, let's eat together."

Seeing the food, Ah Miao rushed up, but it lowered its head and sniffed, and it was not its own food, so it shook its head and backed away.

Ah Ao and Gan Crispy Noodles wanted to go up to eat, but Ah Miao showed her paws beside her, and roared ferociously: "Meow!"

Seeing this, Ah Ao and Gan Crispy Noodles didn't dare to go forward any more, and looked helplessly at the delicious food in the soup bowl but couldn't eat it.

Sophie said, "Look, now you understand why it doesn't work?"

She went to get two small bowls again, took out the apples and put them in, picked up a piece of crispy noodles, washed it in the water a few times, and gnawed happily.

Ah Ao sniffed and didn't open his mouth. Although he likes to eat pasta, he doesn't like to eat fruit.

Sophie prepared food for them. She brought some chicken livers, pork livers and beef livers. Americans, especially Christians, do not eat animal offal. These things are very cheap in supermarkets.

She simply boiled it in clear water and fed it to the three little ones. This is their favorite delicacy.

Ah Meow likes to eat delicate chicken livers the most. After eating his own portion, its eyeballs rolled around, and it rushed towards Ah Ao with lightning speed.

Ah Ao is big, can eat and drink, and gives him the most food.

The chicken liver was snatched away, and Ah Ao stretched his neck in anger and roared, "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Li Du and Sophie chased Ah Miao to snatch the chicken liver from its mouth. Ah Miao ran fast, not only running but also jumping up and down. When Li Du finally caught it, the chicken liver was gone.

Ah Ao followed behind, and when they caught Ah Miao, he went to look for his chicken liver. After searching for a while, he couldn't find it, so he looked at the two of them with puzzled and aggrieved eyes.

Li Du spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's gone."

Ah Ao blinked, stretched his neck and cried out unwillingly: "Aww!"

At this time, the turkey was roasted. A large turkey weighed more than ten catties, and four people couldn't eat it at all.

In fact, in the Christmas Eve dinner and Thanksgiving dinner, the roast turkey serves as a symbolic meaning. Unless there are many people in the family, most of the turkey has to be thrown away.

With Ah Ao's three urinations, there is no waste. Sophie tore off a big chicken leg and gave it to Ah Ao. She gently stroked his head and said, "Come on, give Ah Ao a big chicken leg. Ah Meow is a bad boy, he doesn't have any."

Ah Ao quickly grabbed the chicken leg and tried to get under the sofa.

Li Du said helplessly: "It's useless for you to get in, Ah Miao can also get in."

The wolf cub looked back at Ah Miao who was staring at the big green eyes, and after thinking about it, he ran to Sophie's feet and started to chew.

Ah Miao wanted to get closer to snatch it, Sophie tapped it on the head with a table knife, and said angrily: "A Miao, this is wrong, you are not allowed to steal things from your little friend, go away."

The tiger cat pursed its lips, meowing and meowing to grab the pork liver of the crispy noodles, and now it doesn't even dislike the pork liver.

Quick Noodles quickly threw the food into his bowl, and lay on it directly, so Ah Miao was dumbfounded, it meowed twice, but couldn't find a flaw, so it could only leave angrily.

Seeing the three little things making a fuss, the Martins couldn't stop laughing.

After laughing, the old man showed a thoughtful expression: "Is our life too boring? Maybe we should keep a pet?"

Mrs. Martin shook her head and smiled, "Forget it, unless you can accompany and teach them like Li."

The old man said unconvinced: "I'm an A-level professor. I don't believe that I can't compare to Li in terms of education!"

"Not really," said Mrs. Martin.

"I can testify that I am the product of your failure in education." Sophie added a knife.

The Christmas Eve dinner is very rich, with appetizers and roast turkey, as well as grilled clam pizza grass, seafood stew and shrimp, vanilla cream pasta, soup is creamy corn chowder, and drink is eggnog ice cream.

The four chatted while eating, and there was dessert after the main meal.

While Sophie and her mother were clearing the table, the old man leaned over and said to Li Du: "Aren't you wondering why I support Sophie and your relationship? Look, how great it is. You and your parents don't celebrate Christmas Eve or Christmas. , you can spend Christmas at our home in the future, so as not to leave us two lonely old people.”

Li Du smiled and said, "It's really like this."

The four chatted around the fireplace, Ah Miao, Gan Gan Mian, and Ah Ao squatted at their feet, squinting their eyes and dozing off. Christmas Eve was very peaceful and comfortable.
