199. Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve
When it got dark, the three Lin Chaodong brothers came back with a basket full of things.
There are new dishes and chopsticks, there are incense candles, paper money, and there are ......
Well, nothing else.
The three of them carry baskets out every day these days, also to add a new flavor to each family's table, so they have been selling roasted and boiled sweet potatoes in the town for the past few days.
And today they didn't sell sweet potatoes again, because they wanted to go out and pick up some cheap ones as in previous years, but they didn't expect to come back with only some dishes and chopsticks in the end, or because they were looking forward to the coming year that their father-in-law would come to issue the holy decree.
Of course, if there is no decree, the oracle will be fulfilled!
Anyway, as long as there are more people in the capital, their family will definitely not be the same as last time, let those "nobles" use open bowls, or directly drink water with scoops.
This is the purpose of their return and carrying back a basket of dishes and chopsticks.
As for the tea bowl?
In their poor households, they would not have thought of this.
Because the teapot and bowl are also in the homes of the patriarchs and clan elders, and they are the kind that are shelved.
Therefore, the three brothers, who thought they were ready to receive the reception, had a passionate year.
Mainly because of the sweet potato planting in the spring after the year, as long as they think that the sweet potato is planted, the emperor will return the reward, and their hearts will be hot!
"Why did the people come back, hurry up and worship the ancestors! Don't forget to put incense on our dad! Burn some paper money! ”
Liu hurriedly handed the prepared sacrifices to the ancestors to the three brothers, as well as the incense candles they had just bought and the previous ones, and then saw that they didn't even have time to drink hot water, so they went out again.
There is no way, the matter of worshiping the ancestors cannot be delayed.
And Liu's washed all the bowls he just bought, and controlled the dry water, and then carefully put the bowls into the innermost part of the cabinet, and stacked them neatly, which are all "valuables"!
The dishes have been prepared, and Liu Shi is waiting for them to come back, so he immediately puts the dumplings in the pot, and when they drink hot water to warm their stomachs, they can eat immediately.
This year, the family did not worry about eating and drinking, so the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was also very rich, steamed egg custard, boiled egg flower soup, boiled salted eggs, and a cabbage heart, pickled radish strips, boiled a small fish, and originally a rabbit meat, but the little girl cried and did not let it be slaughtered.
Although the rabbit meat is gone, there is no shortage of meat on the table to eat, because there are dumplings filled with pork and cabbage.
That's called an incense!
It may be really a lack of nutrition, Yue Jiuyue, who didn't like to eat eggs very much, not only ate egg custard this time, but also drank egg drop soup, and even ate half of the salted eggs, and felt that he hadn't eaten enough.
The dumplings are also one by one, there is no cold cucumber, but there is a cold cabbage heart, and the dumplings are on the cabbage heart, and the same food is very satisfying.
In the city where Yue September is located, dumplings are usually eaten with garlic, generally garlic cucumbers, and during the Chinese New Year, most of the carrots and vermicelli mixed with garlic are eaten, and the children like to eat vermicelli the most, and in the end there are only carrots left on the plate.
Whether there is such a habit here, Yue Jiujiu doesn't know, because there are no carrots at home, there are no fans here, and there are no cucumbers in winter, so Yue Jiujiu chose to mix garlic with cabbage heart.
