286 Chinese New Year's Eve dinner

On the phone, Zeng Gong asked about the recent situation of the ranch, and the Piflo cow gave birth to a few calves one after another, adding some vitality to the Qinglian Ranch, and the Yushan sheep are very adaptable to the environment in the pasture, so Sanders also reopened a pasture for them, and the new sheepfold is also under construction.

The weather began to pick up, and the surrounding snow-capped mountains gradually melted, but the rivers of Qinglian Ranch were vertical and horizontal, and the streams were dense, Sanders was worried that the ranch would have snowmelt floods, but Zeng Gonggo did not have such worries, the river capacity of Qinglian Ranch was still very large, in fact, the river network shaped by nature was still very scientific.

"Well, Sanders, they're not ready. Elena asked expectantly.

"Sanders has asked Johnny to buy the couplets online, and I'm sure they'll have the ranch renovated tomorrow afternoon. Zeng Gong nodded, just now he specially instructed Johnny to hurry up and buy the Spring Festival couplets.

Elena nodded excitedly, but when they walked to the courtyard, the Spring Festival couplets in other places had already been pasted with her mother, which made Elena disappointed for a while.

"Elena, what's wrong, is Zeng Gong bullying you. Seeing Elena's lost appearance, my mother thought that the two of them were angry, and glared at Zeng Gong fiercely.

"Mom, I'm wronged, how could I bully Elena, she hasn't posted enough Spring Festival couplets, don't you still make a phone call, let the cowboys on the ranch post couplets in the ranch, I didn't expect that when you came in, you had already finished pasting the Spring Festival couplets. Zeng Gong spread his hands and said that he was really wronged.

"Mom, you didn't bully me. He loved me so much. Elena knew that her appearance was misunderstood by her mother, so she made a playful grimace at Zeng Gong, and then took her mother's arm and explained seriously.

What else. The old mother still glared at Zeng Gong, pulled Elena and walked towards the house with a smile, and hung her son aside, "Elena, let me tell you, we are sticking Spring Festival couplets just to add festivity to the evil of the town this year." The real grandeur is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, which is the most important meal of the year, where everyone gathers. Let's talk about my heart and look forward to next year's hopes. ”

"Isn't it making dumplings?" said Elena, a little confused.

"The dumplings are made after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and when the time comes, we will make them together. Mom said with a smile.

However, Elena has long mixed Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with dumplings, and she doesn't know what the difference is between them. In order to cater to my mother's happiness. It can only be a mechanical nod

Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner, also known as Tuan New Year Dinner, is a meal on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Chinese New Year's Eve is extremely important for the Chinese. On this day, people prepare to remove the old and welcome the new, and have a reunion dinner. Family is the cornerstone of Chinese society, and the annual reunion dinner fully demonstrates the mutual respect and love of family members of the Chinese nation, and this mutual respect and love makes the relationship between the family closer. The reunion of the family often brings spiritual comfort and satisfaction to the head of the family, and the elderly see that the children and grandchildren are full of children, and the family is happy together, and the hard work of caring for and raising the children in the past is finally not in vain. What a blessing this is. Younger generations can take this opportunity to express their gratitude to their parents for their nurturing grace.

Often, the ingredients in this meal are also particularly rich. It has been prepared for several days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the dishes have auspicious meanings, such as "Five Blessings Coming to the Gate", "Reunion", "More than Years in a Row", "Sanyang Kaitai", "Fortune Head", etc., are people's good wishes for a happy life.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the first Chinese New Year's Eve meal after Zeng Gong's deed, he made extra efforts, changed the habit of simply stir-frying a few dishes in previous years, early in the morning he was ready to go to the Buddha jumping over the wall with too much time, this time he came back from the United States, he was well prepared, even the British Columbia spotted abalone also caught two heads and the brown horse chicken and flying dragon bird that Liao Fan prepared for them.

"Zeng, what should I do?" Seeing that Zeng Gong had been busy in the kitchen, Elena couldn't hold back, wanting to show off her talent in cooking and show her future mother-in-law.

"Well, you make a soup. Zeng Gong thought for a while and said that although China is accustomed to eating soup with meals, no one can deny the importance of soup.

Elena nodded, she had learned from Zeng Gong's mouth that people in northern China have a strong taste and rarely involve sweet things, so she finally made an Italian vegetable soup, which was specially seasoned with the flying dragon soup that Zeng Gong left for her, and the fragrance of the soup suddenly drifted far away.

"It smells so good. The little brother of the old uncle's family sniffed the fragrance and sneaked into the kitchen, sniffed vigorously with his nose, and said unsatisfied.

"Fragrant, I'll eat it here later. Zeng Gongtou said without looking back, he was still making white-robed shrimp in his hand, and Huaiyang cuisine was very particular about knife work and heat, so he had to concentrate.

"Third brother, what are you doing to eat. Smelling the aroma of the kitchen, the fifth brother was eager to try, looking at the dishes that had been prepared in the kitchen.

"White robe shrimp, Fu Shouquan, steamed lion head, Dengying beef, West Lake vinegar fish, crystal trotters, white fried fresh bamboo clams, Dinghu vegetarian, clear soup swallow vegetables, Ju Eight Immortals, squirrel mandarin fish, your sister-in-law also made Italian vegetable soup, do you see it." Zeng Gong introduced several dishes he cooked.

"Okay, then I'm not leaving. "Breathing in the aroma of the room, he can be regarded as hungry.

"Don't go, you kid has to drink with me today. Zeng Gong nodded, don't go, drinking is a must.

"Okay, Zeng Gong, you can't let Yu Xi drink, he's still in school. At this time, my mother walked into the kitchen, saw that Zeng Gong was almost done stir-frying, and began to serve the dishes, and when she heard that Zeng Gong was going to drink wine, she glared at him fiercely.

"Mom, it's okay, let's drink some ice wine, the wine is sweet, not intoxicating. Zeng Gong said helplessly, who let Cao Xi still go to school, who has the highest status in the whole family, and the highest status of the reader, it is really a response to the sentence, 'Everything is inferior, only reading is high'.

"I, I have to drink good wine, and you can't fool me with a drink. "I stammered a little, seeing that I had to drink, I put forward the conditions first.

"Yunling ice wine, Canada's top ice wine, is enough grade. Zeng Gong said with a wink at Yu Xi.

"Damn, he's going to drink me and pour him in. At this time, Zeng Shen also came out to serve the food and said to Yu Xi, it can be said that it is bitter and bitter, every year it is his father who pours a few little brothers, although it has not been successful, but this beam is finished.

"I, I can't drink it, let my sister-in-law drink it for me. Seeing Elena standing next to her, she stammered.

"Ask your sister-in-law, if she will drink for you. Zeng Gong sneered and said to Cao Xi. (To be continued.) )
