What do you usually eat for New Year's Eve? What's the point?
There is a lot of stress about what to eat on New Year's Eve.
In the north, the most important thing in the New Year's Eve is jiaozi, who plays the leading role. Eat jiaozi, which means "alternate ages". Jiaozi is shaped like an ingot, and it also means to make a fortune. Eating a few jiaozi is equivalent to swallowing a few ingots, which means making a fortune in the coming year.
jiaozi's stuffing is also exquisite. For example, if you eat jiaozi stuffed with leeks, it means "long wealth"; Jiaozi stuffed with cabbage is "a hundred treasures"; Jiaozi stuffed with mushrooms means "drum up money". Some people don't want to eat meat stuffing. They are all vegetarian and pay attention to it, which means that in the new year, they are vegetarian and clean, and they don't make trouble.
Chicken is also an essential dish for the New Year's Eve. Chicken sounds like "Ji". Eating chicken means good luck in the new year, and it is a very attractive dish.
chickens and fish are good friends, and if there is a chicken, there must be a fish. Fish and "Yu" are homophonic. Eating fish means that there is more than one year. There are many kinds of fish. Eating carp, eating crucian carp and eating silver carp all have their own meanings, because it is really troublesome, so simply simplify it and eat whatever fish you want. However, we should pay attention to one thing: on the first day of the first month of the first month, we should eat fish heads and braised pork. This dish is delicious in itself, and its name is pleasing. Eating braised pork means that the new year is full of prosperity, and it will go wherever it goes.
Four Joy Meetballs is not bad, too, with a nice name, happy birthday and auspicious celebration. That's what you want.
In Guangdong, because of the language, shrimp is a very popular dish, which means laughing and laughing every day. With the spread of Guangdong culture, the custom of eating shrimp in the New Year has gradually spread to all parts of the country. When eating New Year's Eve in the north, a plate of shrimp will also be served.
In addition, the materials are also particular about vegetarian dishes. For example, soybean sprouts look ordinary, but people have an auspicious name, Ruyi cuisine. It is said that when Emperor Qianlong visited incognito, he saw soybean sprouts, which looked like Ruyi, so he gave them a name, Ruyi Cuisine. The ruyi dishes given by the emperor's old son are naturally imitated by the people, and the soybean sprouts are also on the stage of elegance.
