Chapter 673: Banquet Noodles
When everyone had almost finished drinking, eight hot dishes were served. Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the traditional dish here is the eight bowls. Braised pork, crispy pork, braised pork ribs, white meatballs, tile fish, stewed chicken, crispy kelp, vinegar needles.
Then there are four large items: braised elbows, bamboo goose, Sixi meatballs, and steamed chicken.
The dishes were all served, and the steamed buns, jujube flowers and vegetable buns were also served, and everyone took them at will.
The children were called back, washed their hands on the hose, and went on to eat.
Now the amount of food for people is really large, and ten people have eaten twenty dishes, and they have basically eaten clean. On the table with many children, there were more leftovers, and the men of the family returned to the table here and swept them one by one.
After eating, adults and children worked together, end to end, brush to brush, and sweep the table, and the restaurant was cleaned up at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone said that at four o'clock in the afternoon, they would come to the restaurant to prepare dinner, and then go home to rest. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, CCTV held the second Spring Festival Gala, and everyone planned to watch it with sufficient spirit.
The Spring Festival Gala in 83 was the first Spring Festival Gala held by CCTV, and the TV station did not do much publicity.
Last year's flood, the houses in Hantun Village were basically washed away, and people's minds were focused on the reconstruction of the village, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together to discuss ideas around Han Yuanchao, and they had the mind to watch TV.
The women also gathered together to wait for the outcome of the negotiations. After watching the children's program, the children went to play, and under the red lanterns, they set off firecrackers and blew up their feet, which was much more interesting than staying in the room and watching TV.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is basically promoted every day on Layue TV, and the highlights of last year's Spring Festival Gala are often played, which makes people's appetite full.
The people of Hantun Village are at the end of their lives, and this year's Chinese New Year's Eve must watch the Spring Festival Gala. In order to watch tonight's Spring Festival Gala, the village deliberately added two color TVs to the restaurant.
You go home and sleep at the end, this time I checked and understood on the brain, the 1984 Spring Festival Gala was the second CCTV Spring Festival Gala, with Huang Yihe and Zhang Shufen as the chief directors.
This Spring Festival Gala is recognized as the most successful one, creating a large number of classics. For the first time, the host and actors of Hong Kong and Taiwan appeared, and for the first time, there was a sketch, and the fixed ending song of the Spring Festival Gala "Unforgettable Tonight" appeared for the first time.
Yoyo was still woken up by the noise, and when he opened his eyes, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
The villagers gathered in the canteen again and began to prepare dinner. Women sit around and make dumplings.
At noon, the sun was still shining, and the sky was dark and oppressive, but there was not a trace of wind.
My aunt stood at the door of the restaurant, looked up at the sky from time to time, and said worriedly: "It shouldn't snow this day, I don't know where the aid to the DPRK has gone?"
My uncle and grandfather listened to her words, and also walked out, pulling her inside: "The snow is shining on the lights for a good year, and this is to pray for everyone." What's the use of you standing at the door, it's freezing again. ”
Until six o'clock in the afternoon, it was dark, and Han Yuanchao had not returned. Hantun Village is brightly lit, with street lamps and lights on the square. At the door of the village office building and canteen, high red lanterns are hung, and the red lanterns at the door of each house are also opened.
The village was full of joy, and the dark sky was also illuminated, and the dark clouds were blocked from being seen.
The children were shouting that they were hungry, but everyone insisted on waiting for the return of the Korean Aid to North Korea before the banquet was held.
Uncle and grandfather tried their best to disagree and ordered Han Daoqiang to start serving. The dinner is different from the luncheon, and the main menu is the food and drink. There were still sixteen dishes, but four large items were gone.
Sixteen dishes were brought up one by one:
Chop wood lotus, cucumber dipping sauce, tomatoes mixed with sugar, sesame beans
Braised beef, braised mutton, pork skin jelly, shredded tripe
Fried lotus root box, fried eggplant box, fried tenderloin, fried ham sausage
Shiitake mushroom rape, bamboo shoots and melon, garlic green beans, green pepper beef tenderloin
As soon as the food was put on the table, and the wine was not poured, I heard the sound of a car honking outside, and my aunt and uncle were sitting at the door of the restaurant, and hurriedly walked out when they heard the sound.
Sure enough, it was Han Yuanchao who came back, he was wearing a thick military coat, his eyelashes were frozen with white frost, and he stomped his feet when he got out of the car.
Even the voice of calling her mother trembled, and her aunt stepped forward to grab her son's hand, and tears of distress fell.
The driver was a young man, he not only stomped his feet, but also rubbed his hands, and said: "Secretary Han, if you had said that the road at home is so good, let's open the crown, you don't have to suffer." ”
They drove jeeps with good off-road performance, without air conditioning, and in these cold days, both drivers and cars suffered.
Yoyo's jeep is an antique model of later generations, but the appearance is similar to the current car, in fact, with an air conditioning system, it is more comfortable in winter and summer.
The little driver said, took out a few boxes of things from the car, and asked Zhiyuan to move them into the restaurant.
The people in the village followed behind the uncle and grandmother, and they all came out, and the uncle and grandfather were relieved to see their son come back. A strong urging: "It's frozen, hurry into the house." ”
The three Zhibin brothers and sisters, shouting for their father while running, threw themselves into Han Yuanchao's arms. Zhiping was picked up, and the other two were next to her father one by one.
Zhiping held her father's face with her hand and said softly, "Dad, it won't be cold if I give you warmth." ”
Zhibin was older, he took his father's hand: "Dad, wash it with hot water to warm up." "The faucet in the restaurant is a mixture of hot and cold, and Yuan Chao and the driver washed their hands and faces with hot water, and it really warmed up.
Zhiping has been tugging at Han Yuanchao's clothes, I'm afraid that if I let go, my father will be gone. Han Yuanchao really loves his daughter, and he sat down at the table and held her in his arms. Zhiping seemed to be used to it, and quietly ate and drank the things her father brought her.
The prawns and crabs brought by the aid to Korea have never been seen by the people in the village, and they really don't know how to do it. Grandma Yoyo entered the back kitchen, and her old man cooked it herself.
Fresh prawns and crabs, the method is relatively simple, just wash and steam in the pot, but the preparation of dipping sauce is more complicated.
The size of the prawns and crabs is really big, and the prawns are all over 15 cm, which is definitely up to the standard of prawns. The size of the crab is larger than the mouth of the bowl, and one can fit a plate.
Fortunately, there are few people in Hantun Village, but there are not enough crabs per person, and only two can be served on a table.
The aid also brought liquor and wine from Fucheng, as well as two boxes of apples and pears from Hongfushan. It was also washed and two plates were placed at each table.
