Chapter 397: Chinese New Year (2)
With a few clicks, Jiang Xiaochi took an axe and slashed. For the first time during the Chinese New Year, Jiang Xiaochi prepared a reunion dinner, and he was very happy.
Song Lao Er looked stupid, his little daughter-in-law always seemed to be different from other people's little daughters-in-law.
Jiang Xiaochi: "What are you stupid about, take a basin and soak the chicken." Don't look back and delay cooking at noon. ”
Jiang Lanying was busy with her feet not touching the ground, mixing the stuffing in her hand, and Jiang Xiaotang started to make croquettes next to her.
Full of meat filling, mixed with carrots and Chinese cabbage, the fried meatballs are golden and golden, soft and trembling fragrant.
Jiang Xiaotang has a soft spot for meatballs, and thinks that the first time he ate meat back then, it seems to be the meatballs made by Jiang Xiaochi.
Although it is stuffed with wild vegetables, it is not fried or steamed, but it is just one word "fragrant"!
Mrs. Zhang and Huang Yufen finished finishing the window grilles on the glass, so they didn't have anything to do on their own, and their eyes looked at the gate of the courtyard from time to time, because Huang Dahe and Liu Yun were going to come over to celebrate the New Year together today.
Originally, Huang Dahe didn't want to come over, and at the end of the year, the unit was busy, and he didn't stay idle until the twenty-nineth.
Huang Yinhe is the same, Daoyuan's colleague went home for the New Year, and she volunteered to take all the duty down.
There are only Liu Yun and a "big" bachelor left in the family, how lonely and lonely it is, Liu Yun is uncomfortable in her heart. Whatever he said, Huang Dahe wanted to go to the countryside with him and celebrate the New Year with Jiang Xiaochi's family.
The reason is good, the old lady is not there.
Huang Dahe also wanted to eat Jiang Xiaochi's family's food, so he didn't say a word, and came over by dialing a phone call to the village.
It also happened that Guo Zhiyou and his family were talking to Da Shunzi on the phone, otherwise even if Huang Dahe climbed over along the phone line, no one would listen to the phone in the village office.
Jiang Xiaochi started chopping pork ribs after chopping the chicken, the original pork ribs were planned to be made when Huang Dahe and them came to pay New Year's greetings, and now they came to the reunion dinner to have one more hard dish.
Jiang Lanying: "Is the girl's pork ribs braised or sweet and sour?" ”
Jiang Xiaochi: "Sweet and sour, my brother likes to eat sweet." ”
Eating sweets should be a warm man's design, Jiang Xiaochi can't figure out how Huang Dahe wants to be tall and have a look. has a good temper, a good family background, and a good job, why do you keep being single?
But Huang Dahe's lifelong event is not something Jiang Xiaochi can worry about, and it is better to worry about him and make more for lunch.
The fish of the New Year is particular, and no matter how rare the fish is, the reunion dinner of the golden thirty will not be able to go to the table.
There are many food customs on Chinese New Year's Eve, and eating fish is one of them. The eight major cuisines in our country are inseparable from the famous fish dishes. Especially for Chinese New Year's Eve New Year's dinner, the common people can't do without fish.
"Fish" and "Yu" have the same sound, and symbolize mascots, such as carp, which means "more than profit"; silver carp, "more than one year in a row"; Mandarin fish, meaning "more than rich".
When eating fish at the New Year's dinner, you should keep your head and tail until the next year (i.e., the beginning of the year) to express your wish for the New Year to "have a head and a tail". There is also a special approach to fishing: the head of the fish should be facing the VIP or elders, reflecting respect; The visitor was a literati, and he pointed the fish belly at him, praising him for having ink in his belly and full of articles; The visitor is a military general, and he talks about the fish's spine facing him, praising him for being strong and arrogant, and can be used as a backbone. There is also the placement of the fish when it is served on the table, with the head of the fish facing and the tail facing whom, and it cannot be moved after it is put down. The person to whom the fish head is "cut the ribbon", and the person to whom the fish tail is to be "sponsored"; First by the two of them to drink a glass of wine, and then by the head of the fish first move the chopsticks to eat the fish (the so-called "ribbon cutting"), and then everyone can move the chopsticks, lively atmosphere, a piece of joy.
The meanings and effects of various types of fish are also different, and rural people pay more attention to these.
The choice of fish at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner depends on its auspicious name. Eat carp on Chinese New Year's Eve, carp is homophonic to "li", and eating carp during the New Year is auspicious. Eating crucian carp, crucian carp is homophonic with "auspicious", and eating carp and crucian carp together during the New Year is good luck. Eat silver carp, silver carp is homophonic with "lian", and eat silver carp for more than one year in the New Year.
In order to eat more than one year's good intentions, you can eat two fish on Chinese New Year's Eve, one for Chinese New Year's Eve, and one on New Year's Eve. If you make one, eat the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and eat the head and tail on the first day of the new year, so that there are more than one year in a row, and there is a head and fish tail.
The fish I ate today was caught by Boss Jiang from the river, a big silver carp weighing seven or eight pounds.
A fish occupies a laundry tub, and it can't accommodate it with a lively jump. I have to say that Boss Jiang still has some ability to fish. After Jiang Xiaochi took back the housekeeper power for Tian Hua, the two families moved around a lot.
Boss Jiang had something in his hand, and he was willing to send it to Mrs. Zhang.
Although it is not yet the real home and everything is prosperous, but the face is happy, and Mrs. Zhang has a smile on her face.
The words have to go back to the fish, although the work of cleaning up the fish is a bit fishy, Song Lao Er is reluctant to let his daughter-in-law get started.
But who is Jiang Xiaochi, they are all raised in the water, and they have been dealing with them for hundreds of years, and they are most proud of the smell of the fish. No matter how fishy it is, the fish is delicious.
Jiang Xiaochi held an iron brush in his hand, smacked a few times, but his eyes didn't blink, and the fish scales fell off. Disemboweled, Jiang Xiaochi's eyelids did not rise.
"Oops! Oops! Yikes! "Song Lao Er looks stupid again, when can his little daughter-in-law be appropriately weak and make herself feel like a man.
Of course, in the bed at night, Song Lao Er must be a man.
Jiang Lanying watched Jiang Xiaochi clean up the fish, and shouted straight by the neck: "You have to keep everything in the fish's head, the fish head is delicious." ”
The fish head is delicious, and Jiang Xiaochi still doesn't know? The cheek meat on the gills is also called bean plate meat, and the bean plate in Cixi's favorite "pickle bean plate soup" is it.
There is also a fish brain, that is the real brain platinum, no matter how good the advertisement is, it is not affordable to eat some fish brains.
When Jiang Xiaochi ate fish head for the first time, it was still made by Lao Hu, and the conditions were more difficult, so it was still cooked with pickles.
However, after eating the fish head once, Jiang Xiaochi's interest in the fish head has increased, and he has always believed that the fish head is better than the fish meat.
Therefore, when cleaning up the head of the fish, you still need to be reminded by others, and you are reluctant to take anything out except the gills.
Song Lao Er couldn't intervene on the side, so he simply went to the bottom of the window to pack up the frozen sticky bean buns and dumplings.
I put the peanuts on two large plates, and sprinkled two handfuls of sugar balls on them, maybe because of Jiang Xiaochi by my side this year, how to look at this year's festive year.
Song Lao Er also wondered, since Jiang Xiaochi came back, not to mention that he didn't even have any rats in the warehouse, the cats in the warehouse were too lazy to lie down and bask in the sun.
In fact, the reason for this incident is that Jiang Xiaochi knows about it. Nothing else, just because Lao Hu drew a circle by the way when he peed. An old fox who has attained the Tao, how dare the snake and mouse juniors come to offend.
(Chong these Baojia immortals in the Northeast, Northeast people really dare not eat game.) Parentheses: Except for wearing mink and fox fur collars. )
