Even the Fangzhou family got up early in the morning, wearing bright new clothes, talking and laughing constantly.
After a simple breakfast, I started to post Spring Festival couplets and hang red lanterns. In a blink of an eye, because of the hanging red lanterns, the flaming red spring couplets, the characters of blessings, and the New Year pictures, every household looked different from their usual, and they looked extra festive.
Generally, after having breakfast and pasting the Spring Festival couplets, they start to cook the New Year’s Eve dinner. The New Year’s Eve dinner is usually eaten earlier than usual, and it is eaten around the end of the afternoon. After eating, the adults and children will greet friends and accompany them to play, and the village will become extremely lively.
Although I started to prepare early, today’s meal took a lot of time because the dishes to be made were so many and exquisite, and the family was busy going in and out, talking and laughing. , It is very lively.
For tonight’s dishes, Lian Fangzhou and Sangu’s grandmother discussed it a few days ago. The stewed yellow lamb shank, steamed sausage, sweet and sour carp, steamed pork with dried plums and vegetables, fried chicken nuggets with dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and pork ribs in sauce , Stuffed tofu, stuffed winter melon, and prepared a few more vegetables, cabbage, yam, yuba, vermicelli, pork liver, pork loin, lean meat, etc. I plan to cook a soup of yellow lamb shank in the evening, and eat while boiling the vegetables, otherwise in winter The dishes are cool quickly.
Last night, the carp was wrapped in flour and put in a frying pan. It had to be cooked with the whole chicken after respecting the ancestors; It was washed and marinated with five-spice powder and salt, and then the whole piece was boiled in a pot, and honey was applied to the skin. It was tossed several times. The whole piece of meat basically has no fat and oil, and the skin is crispy. Today, the dried plum, which is cut into pieces and thinly sliced on the bottom pad, is steamed and the aroma is overflowing.
The fillings for making stuffed bean curd and stuffed winter melon are freshly adjusted. Lian Fangzhou and Grandma Sangu made three kinds of fillings, two of which are based on yellow lamb and plum meat, with a little chopped Chinese leeks and celery, another kind of vegetable dishes such as Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, yuba, etc. are mainly seasoned with meat.
Lian Fangzhou and Grandma Sangu were busy, and even Fangqing and others came and went to help from time to time. Only A Jian never touched the kitchen. After feeding the cows and donkeys, he warmed up in the house and smiled. Against them.
After paying respect to our ancestors, I started cooking. The whole chicken was chopped up, and the whole fish was fished out in the next oil pan to make sweet and sour. The ribs were marinated in the sauce and waited for the lamb to be cooked. When the stew is done, the stuffed tofu has been fried, and the stuffed winter melon and Mei Cai Kou Po are steaming in the pot.
When the various dishes are ready, set off the firecrackers, and you are ready to eat.
Lian Hai came over again, smiled and said happy new year, chatted and laughed with sister Lian Fangzhou and siblings, approached Lian Fangzhou and asked her in a low voice if she would like to spend the New Year’s Eve together to be more lively?
If it's normal, Lian Fangzhou's family has no parents. Of course, the two families will eat together, but for Lian's big room and second room, it is not necessary.
Facing the Qiao family, even Fangzhou believes that his siblings can't eat anything. It's not a big Chinese New Year, but also to find anger.
He smiled politely and declined.
Lian Hai knew it well, and originally expected it to be like this. After a few words of persuasion, he smiled, saying that he would come and sit with them again after dinner. Lian Fangzhou is naturally welcome.
When all the dishes are about to be out of the pot, the village will hear the sound of firecrackers from all directions from time to time. It seems that the dinner time of every family is almost the same!
Lian Fangzhou also smiled and called Lian Ze to wait: "Get the big firecrackers we bought! Let's set off the firecrackers too!"
This is the boy's favorite thing. Lian Ze and Lian Che agreed loudly, and quickly took out a large firecracker that had been prepared.
Lian Fangzhou couldn't worry about letting them come. After placing the red firecrackers on the ground, Ajan took a lighted incense and lit it.
The crackling firecrackers sounded all over the courtyard, red debris splashed around, and the gunpowder-flavored smoke gradually filled up. Lian Fangqing threw himself into Lian Fangzhou’s arms, covering his ears but giggling, even Ze and Lian Che were already waiting for the firecrackers to sound intact to pick up the unburned ones and keep them for fun.
More firecrackers came through the wall, and the sound of the whole village came and went one after another. This is the busiest time of the year.
"Okay, okay! Good luck! Good luck! It's time to go back to the house, it's time to eat!" Sangu's grandmother laughed, glanced at the reluctant Lian Ze and Lian Che, and said with a glance at them: "Go back to the house and eat first. You can pick it up later, and you won't run away! It's still early!"
Everyone laughed and went into the house together.
"Fangzhou! Grandma Sangu! Are you ready to eat!" Aunt Zhang and Li Juan came in from outside with a smile.
"Aunt Zhang! Ajuan!" Lian Fangzhou waited eagerly to greet him, and said with a smile: "Are you ready to eat! Where are you?"
"Well, we are coming soon too!" Aunt Zhang smiled, holding a basket in her hand, and said with a smile: "I have made a lot of dishes, and I will give you something you didn't make! Try something fresh! "
Lian Fangzhou and Grandma Sangu thanked them with a smile, and invited them into the house, and Grandma Sangu went to the kitchen to get bowls to prepare dishes.
The two families who are close to each other often do this.
Aunt Zhang uncovered the lid of the basket and clamped the dishes in the bowl into the empty bowl brought by Grandma Sangu. There are several kinds of steamed pork, fried twice-cooked pork, steamed pork belly and so on.
Lian Fangzhou also filled Aunt Zhang with a lot of stuffed tofu and pork ribs in sauce. After a few words with a smile, Aunt Zhang and her daughter went back.
After a while, Lian Hai also sent a bowl of vegetables, including elbows, ham, stuffed eggs, etc.
Lian Fangzhou also smiled and thanked him for accepting it. The same dishes were filled with some dishes for Lian Hai to take back.
It's just that the moods of the two dishes are different. Even Fangzhou doesn't have to think about how ugly Qiao's face will be and how ugly he will say when Lian Hai delivers the dishes.
If the uncle and aunt were really willing to deliver food, it would be Joe's, not Lianhai.
But fortunately, it is not Joe's who came, otherwise, the New Year will affect the mood. Seeing is clear, this is indeed very reasonable.
Nothing else for a while, the whole family gathered around the table to have dinner.
Today’s dinner is a round table, which means reunion. The table frame supported under the round table top is a square frame with grooves. There is a round movable wooden board the size of a basin bottom in the middle of the table top. After removing it, the small stove can be placed just on the groove of the table frame. In this way, the top of the small stove can be as flat as the table top, and the soup pot will not be too high when it is placed.
Put a charcoal fire in a small stove, put a small round pot for cooking lamb shank broth, and place the same dishes around. Lian Fangzhou deliberately opened two jars of wine, one jar was the previous one, and the other jar was fruit wine bought from the Lin's orchard.
