Uninvited Christmas Guests

 Before dinner, the guests suppressed their hunger with candy, hot chocolate and ginger snaps. 

 Cong Nianwei was making a traditional American mince pie on the stove. If it wasn’t for their inspiration to have a traditional holiday, they would have chosen Chinese cuisine.

 She put baking powder and salt and softened some vegetable butter into the pie crust. The stuffing contained onions, meat and butter.

 Unlike a Chinese pie, which had to be fried in a pan, the mince pie had to be baked in the oven for 10 minutes.

 Ding! The oven turned off automatically. Putting on thick oven gloves, Qin Guan took the large turkey out of the oven using a tray.
