In the sixties and seventies of last century, during the Spring Festival in rural areas, we ate "six big plates" here, which means "six big plates". The plate is relatively large, and one plate carries four dishes. My family is an ancestral blue-and-white carp dish, which is almost as big as the Jianbao blue-and-white official kiln on TV. At that time, nine people in my family ate, and six dishes were enough for the New Year. At that time, there was a plate of braised pork, a plate of braised fish, a plate of Anqing specialty "Shanfenyuanzi", a plate of stir-fried (qianzi fried noodles), a plate of roast chicken (goose and duck) and a plate of other dishes. In short, this is enough to constitute the "six major plates."

You can eat in public during the New Year, and you won't be scolded by adults and no one will stop you. In the1960s and1970s, there was a shortage of materials, especially in rural areas. Usually, it's hard to see meat. Meat should be supplied by ticket, and other non-staple foods should also be supplied by ticket. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, the whole family has a big feast, and children are looking forward to the Chinese New Year, while adults are looking forward to planting in the fields. Because Chinese New Year is about good luck, you can't call names and hit people. On new year's eve, adults bear it. At the reunion dinner, the children wolfed down their food. When the adults saw it, they just smiled and reminded them. Eat less, don't hurt their stomachs. I remember one year on New Year's Eve, I ate six pieces of braised pork, and one piece was enough. I want to eat again, and then use chopsticks to clamp it. My mother wants to stop it for fear of indigestion. My dad said that it is rare for children to see meat and fish once, so let them eat it openly during the New Year. Anyway, 50 Jin of bacon is enough this year. But my mother still encourages me to eat tomorrow, eat less and eat more meals.

In the mid-1970s, it was popular in our country to eat ten dishes for the New Year, which means "perfect". There are fewer dishes, you can also make hot pot, mix green vegetables and bacon in the garden, make a plate of preserved salted fish and a plate of fresh fish. In addition, there are stewed chicken, eggs, peanuts, beef and mutton and internal organs. The food is very rich, so you need to drink during the Spring Festival. In the 1960s and 1970s, southerners used to sit around the table of the Eight Immortals in Tang Xuan and move chopsticks together, which was very particular. No one can't go to the table. No one can move chopsticks first and put them down for dinner at the same time. Put down the chopsticks at the same time and end the party. The first person to eat must not leave the table, and wait for the last person to put down the chopsticks bowl. Now we still eat "ten dishes", chicken, duck and goose, pork, beef and mutton, sausage, stir-fry, two hot pots, fat sausage, pork belly and so on. The New Year's Eve dinner is getting richer and more exquisite, and the children are no longer greedy.
