Chinese New Year's Eve, this is the happiest day for every family in China, on this day, every family that can be reunited, everyone will put down their work and return home to accompany their relatives.
Ganbazi, every family is happy this year, a year's hard work in exchange for the peace of mind at this time, everyone is happy.
Yang Limin's house was even more lively, not only their family, but also the fat dun mother and the widow Huang Cuiyun were also called over, and they gathered together to keep the New Year, and the atmosphere was joyful.
My sister Yang Chunlan is very happy, he used to be more sticky to this brother, but since my brother returned home a few days ago, there are a lot of messy things, and there are all kinds of people coming and going behind her, either Yang Limin is busy, or she wants to help her mother work in the kitchen, and today she can finally stay on her brother's arm like a little raccoon again. The red tweed coat that her brother gave her was definitely the first in ten miles and eight villages, but she was very happy. Almost wherever Yang Limin goes, her little tail follows, although this tail is a little bigger, it is also a tail......
Fat Dunniang also got two dishes and brought them over, Huang Cuiyun didn't have anything, so she brought her own pickled dried radish, and gave Yang Chunlan a handkerchief embroidered by herself, which also made Yang Chunlan very happy, he is now the elf among everyone, one will be a coquetteer in front of his mother, one will make a face with his father, and one will fight with Fat Dun for a few words, but the most is to pester his brother to talk, which makes everyone laugh.
Huang Cuiyun's eyes were a little red, feeling such warmth made her cry with joy, and the warmth of her family was the taste she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Shuzhong people, has always been delicious, naturally more particular about eating, this Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important night of the year, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not sloppy. The Shu people like to eat meat, and this bacon is one of the most indispensable materials.
The nursery rhyme sings: "Boy, boy, don't be greedy, after Laba is the New Year; Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, and drain it for twenty-three; Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky; twenty-four, sweep the house; Twenty-five, paste the windows; xxvi, stewed pork; Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eight, flour hair; Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Thirty nights stay up all night; On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the street twisted. ”
This is also the general scene of the New Year in Shuzhong, although there are some differences in various regions because of slightly different customs, but it is basically the same.
Every year after the beginning of winter, every household will kill New Year's pigs, pickled sausages, and bacon. Although everyone is very poor now, and not every family kills the pigs, they always have to find a way to get some meat marinated to make bacon. Each family hangs the strings of fresh meat from the beams and pillars, and smokes them day by day with the tongue of fire and firewood smoke that sticks out of the door of the stove every time they make a fire to cook the rice, until the color is golden and the smell is very fragrant, and the tongue of fire licks the meat and squeaks, which makes people salivate.
In addition to bacon, there are other kinds of meat in Shu Zhongnian that are necessary for the New Year, such as spicy sausages, which are indispensable delicacies on the New Year's dinner.
Inlaid bowl, this is the highlight of the Chinese New Year's Eve rice of Shuxi Bazi people, the inlaid bowl is actually a chowder, varieties include crispy meat, baba meat (meatballs), taro, fungus, yellow flowers, etc., taro, fungus, yellow flowers and other "mixed vegetables" at the bottom, put crispy meat in the middle, the top layer is meatballs or baba meat, after being arranged, pour into the soup and steam.
Jar meat, camphor tea duck, cold chicken nuggets, pork rib soup, fried crispy meat, salty roasted white or sweet roasted white, these are all very popular delicacies of Shuzhong people, but at this time due to the constraints of conditions, each family usually barely sees a piece of meat for half a year, and at the end of the year, one or two can be made up of one or two are already considered wealthy.
Of course, Yang Limin's family is obviously not among them, Yang Limin sent back three or four hundred yuan to his family before, and this time he came back and brought a lot of things, as well as others sent them, there is indeed a lot of meat, a plate of bacon, a jar of meat and a fried chicken nuggets appeared on the table, of course, fish is indispensable, this is Yang Limin and Fat Dun went to Yaoshi River to bring up the net, which weighs three or four catties.
Different from the Central Plains, the reunion rice in Shu has an absolutely indispensable food, that is, tangyuan.
The Chinese New Year has four themes: reunion, auspiciousness, prosperity, and joy. The first place is reunion, emotionally, Chinese who have always lived a group life, the most beautiful yearning is the family affection and harmony in the world, the human touch, but also the strongest New Year taste of the Chinese. Reunion is exactly what people pray for when they make so many preparations, just like the indispensable reunion dinner for the 30th anniversary of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Tangyuan, with the word "reunion" is close to the sound, take the meaning of reunion, symbolizing the reunion of the whole family, harmony and happiness, people also miss the parting relatives, and entrust the good wishes for the future life, which is also one of the New Year's delicacies in southern China, but in Yang Limin's home, the rice balls must be eaten the next morning, that is, the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, symbolizing the reunion of the family in this year, happiness and health, and the basic meaning of eating dumplings on the first day of the northern New Year.
In the past, although the four people in the family had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, although they were also very happy, but this year is different, Yang Limin has become so powerful, and the other day it has made the entire Ganbazi people see the power of his ability, where can Yang Chaoliang not be happy, he and Hu Ying are smiling when they sleep tonight.
In addition, there are three more fat dun girls and Huang Cuiyun tonight, the atmosphere is more lively, and although Yang Limin is not high, I have also become one of the main characters, in the past, he had to serve tea and water, take a dish or something, tonight has no chance at all, Fat Dun needless to say, the fastest run, Yang Chunlan is flying around happily like a spring swallow, and Huang Cuiyun, she is a junior, she is very happy to eat with others, where is she willing to sit down and wait for dinner, and she is more active in doing this and that, Yang Limin is a man, and she was directly disgusted, so angry that she rolled her eyes directly: "Then Pan Dun is not a man?"
As a result, the old lady was speechless in one sentence: "Fat Dun has not reached 18 yet, that is a child!"
Yes, there is no reason to talk to the old lady at all!
Bickering is the spice of life, everyone is very happy, not laughing, even if there is no "gala" in later generations, but the joy in the heart is real. There is no TV, no mobile phone, no Internet, everything makes Yang Limin even happier.
When the meal was almost eaten, Yang Limin took out a few red envelopes to the extreme, and his father and mother recognized each copy, which was his filial piety as a son, and there were five big solidarities inside. The two of them were still a little embarrassed, but there was a fat dun niang who also showed off her heart, and accepted it directly, and her mother Hu Ying even opened it on the spot and looked at it, the five bright and brand-new big unity can make everyone's eyes shine.
