After a simple breakfast, I began to paste Spring Festival couplets and hang red lanterns. In the blink of an eye, every household looked different from usual because of the red lanterns hanging on the hung red lanterns, the flaming Spring Festival couplets, the blessing characters, and the New Year's paintings, and they looked particularly festive.
Generally, after breakfast and the Spring Festival are pasted, they start to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is usually eaten earlier than usual, around the end of the afternoon, after which the adults and children invite friends to play, and the village becomes extremely lively.
Although I started preparing early, today's meal took a lot of time because of the extraordinarily large number of dishes to be made and the extraordinarily exquisite, and the family was busy going in and out, talking and laughing endlessly, and it was very lively.
Regarding tonight's dishes, Lian Fangzhou and the third aunt and grandmother discussed it a few days ago, stewed yellow lamb shank, steamed sausage, sweet and sour carp, steamed pork with plum vegetables, stewed fried chicken nuggets with bamboo shoots and mushrooms, pork ribs in sauce, stuffed tofu, stuffed winter melon, and then prepared several kinds of green cabbage and yams, yuba, vermicelli, pork liver and pork loin lean meat, etc., planning to stew the yellow lamb leg soup in the evening, and eat while scalding the vegetables, otherwise the vegetables will be cold in winter.
The carp was wrapped in flour last night and put in the oil pot, and the whole chicken had to be honored with the ancestors before cooking; Buckle meat is the day before yesterday when the pig was killed deliberately set aside a piece of the best pork belly to do, at that time it was washed and salted with five-spice powder, salted, and then the whole piece was put in the pot to cook, coated with honey on the skin and oiled in the pot, so repeatedly tossed several times, the whole meat basically has no fat, the skin is crispy and the meat is flossy, today it is cut into pieces and cut on the bottom pad and the dried plum cabbage is steamed and steamed.
The stuffing for stuffed tofu and stuffed winter melon is freshly adjusted, and Lian Fangzhou and the third aunt and grandmother made a total of three kinds of fillings, two of which are yellow mutton and plum blossom meat as the main ingredients, with a little minced leeks and celery, and the other is based on cabbage, vermicelli, yuba and other vegetarian vegetables with meat seasoning.
Even Fangzhou and the third aunt and grandmother were busy, and even Fangqing and others came and went from time to time to help, only Ah Jian never touched the cooking, fed the cows and donkeys, and looked at them with a smile on the fire in the house.
After respecting the ancestors, they officially began to cook, chop the whole chicken, the whole fish will be fished out to make sweet and sour in the next oil pot, the sauce pork ribs are marinated and waiting for the pot, the leg of lamb has already been stewed, the stuffed tofu has also been fried, and the stuffed winter melon and plum cabbage buckle meat are steaming in the pot.
When the dishes are ready, the firecrackers are set off, and you can prepare for dinner.
Lian Hai came over again, smiled and said good New Year, laughed with Lian Fangzhou's siblings for a while, approached Lian Fangzhou and whispered to ask her if she wanted to go over to eat Chinese New Year's Eve together?
If it is normal, Lian Fangzhou's family has no father and mother, of course, the two families eat together, but for the big house and the second room of the Lian family, it is still unnecessary.
Facing Qiao's family, even Fang Zhou believed that his sister and sister couldn't eat anything. I didn't go to find a gas for the New Year.
He smiled and politely declined.
Lian Hai knew that he had expected this to be the case, so he smiled after a few words of persuasion, and only said that he would come over and sit with them after dinner. Lian Fangzhou is naturally welcome.
When all the dishes are about to come out of the pot, the sound of firecrackers can be heard from all directions in the village from time to time, and it seems that the time for dinner is about the same for every family!
Even Fangzhou smiled and called Lian Ze and the others: "Quickly bring the big firecrackers we bought!" It's time for us to set off firecrackers, too! ”
This is the boy's favorite thing, Lian Ze and Lian Che agreed loudly, and took out a large hanging firecracker that had been prepared.
Lian Fangzhou didn't worry about letting them order it, and after placing the red firecrackers on the ground, Ah Jian took a lit incense stick and lit it.
The sound of crackling firecrackers filled the entire courtyard, the red debris flew everywhere, and the smoke with the smell of gunpowder gradually spread, Lian Fangqing threw himself in Lian Fangzhou's arms and covered his ears but giggled, Lian Ze and Lian Che were already waiting for the firecrackers to sound intact and pick up the unburned ones to keep them for fun.
More firecrackers came through the walls, and the whole village resounded one after another. It's the busiest time of the year.
"Alright, alright! Good luck! Good luck! It's time to eat! The third aunt smiled, glanced at Lian Ze and Lian Che, who were reluctant to fall in love with the ground, and glanced at them and said, "Go back to the house and eat first, this cannon will be picked up later, and it won't run away!" It's still early! ”
Everyone laughed and went into the house together.
"Fangzhou! Third aunt and grandmother! Are you ready to eat? Aunt Zhang and Li Juan came in from outside with smiles.
"Aunt Zhang! Ajuan! Lian Fangzhou and the others hurriedly greeted and said with a smile: "I'm about to eat!" What about you? ”
"Well, we're almost there!" Aunt Zhang smiled, holding a basket in her hand, and said with a smile: "I made a lot of dishes, and I sent you some things that you didn't make!" Taste fresh! ”
Lian Fangzhou and the third aunt thanked them with a smile, invited them into the house, and the third aunt and grandmother went to the kitchen to get a bowl to fill the dishes.
Two families who have a good relationship will always be like this.
Aunt Zhang opened the lid of the basket and sandwiched the dishes in the bowl into the empty bowl brought by the third aunt and grandmother. There are several kinds of steamed pork, stir-fried back to the pot meat, steamed pork belly and so on.
Even Fangzhou packed a lot of stuffed tofu and sauce pork ribs for Aunt Zhang, smiled and said a few words, and Aunt Zhang's mother and daughter went back.
After a while, Lian Hai also sent a bowl of dishes, including elbows, ham, stuffed eggs, etc.
Even Fangzhou smiled and thanked him, and also packed some of the same dishes for Lian Hai to take back.
It's just that the mood of the two dishes is different, and even Fangzhou doesn't have to think about it to know how ugly Qiao's face will be and how ugly he will say when Lian Hai sends the dishes over.
If the eldest uncle and aunt really had the heart to deliver the food, it would be Qiao's instead of Lianhai.
But fortunately, it is not Qiao's who came, otherwise, the New Year will affect the mood. Out of sight is pure, and there is a lot of truth in that.
There was nothing else to do, and the family sat around the table and had dinner.
Today's dinner is set up on a round table, which means reunion. The table frame supported under the round table top is a square shelf with grooves. In the middle of the table top is a round movable wooden plank the size of the bottom of a washbasin, and if you take it, you can place the small stove right on the groove of the table frame. In this way, the top of the small stove is level with the tabletop, so the soup pot is not too high when it is placed.
Put charcoal in a small stove and put a small round pot where the lamb leg broth is cooked, and the same dishes are placed around. Lian Fangzhou specially opened two jars of wine, one jar was from the previous Ah Jian, and the other jar was from the Lin family's orchard.
