Now many big cities have opened chicken shops, and the business is very good. But in rural areas, chickens are healthy and pollution-free, and firewood tastes better. Every new year, people in rural areas will cook their own chicken, do not have to go to restaurants, cook at home and stew a pot of potatoes, which is enough for several meals!
2. Sausages and bacon
Sausages and bacon are indispensable Chinese New Year delicacies in rural areas. In the past, the countryside liked to kill pigs themselves, then take them to the market to make lean meat, mix them with their favorite sauces to make sausages, then smoke them with cypress branches and air dry them by the way. The sausage and bacon are chewy and salty. You can eat dried bacon all afternoon when you are free!

5. Fish
Eating fish during the Spring Festival is a traditional custom in China, which means more than one year! Therefore, the practice of fish in rural areas is also very powerful. Steamed, pickled cabbage, boiled and braised in soy sauce are basically made by rural families, and fish is very pollution-free. I picked the food in my own field, so don't worry!
There are several kinds of dishes that must be ordered in the countryside for the New Year. Local customs are: raw onions represent wisdom, green vegetables represent a clean and white year, big calculation represents a good year, pig's head and pig's feet respect the world, fish represents more than a year, and other dishes feel delicious, so do it.
With the progress of society and the development of economy, people's living conditions are getting better and better, and everyone's face shows a happy expression, so is living in the countryside.
During the Spring Festival, every household in rural areas will carefully prepare local specialties and local products, so that relatives and friends returning home can have a delicious meal and get together to talk about the success and joy of the year.
The difference between the north and the south in China is slightly different in taste. Farmers in the north will store all kinds of meat and vegetables and eat them together in winter. The most distinctive feature is braised pork vermicelli. Chicken, duck, fish and vegetables are definitely indispensable. In the south, which is slightly different from the north, chicken, duck and fish are marinated and dried, which is convenient to eat at any time and tastes more fragrant and delicious. In Hubei province, we still simmer soup, and every household should simmer soup to entertain guests, especially during the New Year. The most distinctive way of simmering soup is the lotus root growing in the lake, which can be used as raw material to mix all kinds of meat. For example, adding preserved pork ribs and other wax products to simmer soup, its taste is more special, and it is known as a unique dish in Hubei. In addition, a series of steamed vegetables will be prepared, such as: meat, fish and vegetables can be used as steamed vegetables, of course, they can also be used for cooking, and even all kinds of delicious dishes are available.
It is also a busy year in the countryside, and it is an excellent opportunity to share the fruits of labor and get together to taste delicious food.
The countryside is now more lively, beaming, more and more energetic and stronger.
Now everyone is very particular about Chinese New Year, which really smells like Chinese New Year customs. Pork, beef, mutton and chicken are very lively on the table. The best fragrant rice wine made in the countryside and peanuts are auspicious. The most interesting dish is "fish", which means to have more than one year in a row and make a fortune next year.
In addition, among chickens, there are also: the head of the chicken is called the phoenix head, the feet of the chicken are called the money catcher, and the wings of the chicken are called flying all over the sky. It means smooth sailing and good luck in the new year.

This dish can be said to be an essential dish for rural people in the New Year.

Fish is indispensable for Chinese New Year, which means more than one year. Steamed fish, braised fish.
There are chickens, ducks and geese. On the rural dinner table during the Spring Festival. Most of the dishes on the dining table are livestock raised by farmers themselves and vegetables grown by them.
The customs in different places may be different.
Let me talk about some customs that I personally know:
In rural Yunnan, the Chinese New Year is called "killing pig rice", which means killing a pig, cooking all kinds of pork delicacies, and then inviting relatives and friends to eat together. People with wide popularity and many relatives and friends can set dozens of tables for killing pigs, which is comparable to setting banquets.
Jianghai fishermen mainly eat fish in the New Year, which means more than one year.
In our rural areas of Hunan, there must be at least one dish during the Chinese New Year: Chinese New Year Baba, Baba, tofu, bacon, pork, pig's trotters, braised pork, fish, chicken, oily tofu, venetian blinds, beef with twist and hot pot, and at least one dish for those with good family conditions.
I spend the Spring Festival in the country every year. In my memory, there is a dish that is necessary for the New Year, and that is the "hodgepodge" dish unique to rural people.
In the poor areas in the past, this "hodgepodge" dish was mainly composed of potatoes and cabbage. If possible, add a little vermicelli and tofu, stew some pork and mix it together, as well as dried melon, dried day lily, pour beans, and add some oil to cook together, and it will become a "hodgepodge" dish. At that time, rural people ate vegetables, and everyone dug a bowl and ate it separately. It is not fashionable to eat it on a plate.
Then life gradually improved. Chicken, duck, fish, shrimp and all kinds of meat products are placed on the table of farmers, and some vegetables that are out of season can be eaten at any time. Farmers can often eat that delicious food. However, the "hodgepodge" dishes in the New Year's Eve dinner have not changed, but the quality is constantly improving. Among them, roasted meat, roasted tofu, crispy meat, meatballs, and nutritious foods such as vermicelli and fresh vegetables were added. Farmers' habit of cooking bowls of vegetables has also changed. The "hodgepodge" is still a delicious dish, and rural people will never leave this "hodgepodge" dish, even if it is a wedding.
I love the "hodgepodge" dishes in this country.
Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. In the former countryside, I would go to grinding bean curd this day. As the saying goes, "Twenty-five boiled tofu". Tofu is actually very important in China New Year dishes. Farmers will fry oily tofu during the Spring Festival, and tofu is still a very rich dish. And you can also make your own tofu milk before the tofu is used up.
China's New Year food is very rich and exquisite. Our New Year's Eve dinner is on the morning of New Year's Eve. In the past, some people got up at three or four in the morning to cook and began to eat New Year's Eve at dawn. In our local area, Chinese New Year dishes must be even, and there must be no hot pot, and no one can pour food and water. In rural areas, the New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten at the Eight Immortals table, with a fried carp on the table. This carp can't be eaten, and the carp can't be scaled, which symbolizes the willingness to jump into the Longmen for more than a year.
Fewer people eat meat during the Spring Festival. In our local area, there is the custom of making pig elbows and chicken feet. Chicken feet symbolize robbing money, so people want to grab more money by eating chicken feet. They pay attention to their luck, win more money at cards and buy 5 million lottery tickets. Of course, this is a beautiful saying. Fried beef with Chili, braised pork, fried meat with black fungus and other meat dishes.
And the color of frying. They were all fried at home on the 28th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month. For example, meatballs, meatballs, fish pieces and lotus root clips have a long history. Just before the Spring Festival, the oil was our own rapeseed oil, the flour was processed by our own wheat, and other small ingredients were bought.
We also have a local dish with various meatballs, which symbolizes the happiness of the whole family. In fact, it is all kinds of meatballs, meat and seafood. And our local fish balls must also be eaten. There is also a vegetarian dish. We usually choose fried lotus root for vegetarian dishes, which is what the old man said. If we eat too much, many people are smart, and there is another vegetable, we usually choose red buds, which are delicious in season at this time.
In fact, there is another dish that must be served, and it is the last two dishes, because everyone loves to eat, that is, steamed pork with flour. Every family here will steam a large pot of steamed meat in a large iron pot on the firewood stove during the New Year, which is enough to eat steamed meat with rice flour for a week. Steamed meat is the coarse powder of lotus root, pork and rice. It is stirred with oil, salt and soy sauce, and then steamed with a firewood stove. It is delicious.
I am an ordinary road in 365 miles, and it is the Spring Festival. I will give you a New Year greeting in the early years.
In fact, if you want to ask what dishes to eat in rural areas for the New Year, you must first understand one thing, that is, the differences in rural food culture between the north and the south. For example, the most prominent thing about North-South cuisine is that every meal in the South is inseparable from steamed rice. However, almost every meal in the north of China can't be separated from steamed bread, but in the New Year, what I know best is the food in our northern countryside. First of all, my parents are shopping for new year's goods these days. For example, my father bought a big piece of pork today.
You know, the most abundant meal in Chinese New Year is usually left over on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, which is the so-called New Year's Eve. On this day, the whole family sat together to eat New Year's Eve and watch the Spring Festival Gala, so there were 16 dishes on the table, such as "elbow", "braised fish", "braised chicken in vinegar", "mixed tofu with onion" and "green bean sprouts on the sixth day of the lunar calendar".
Then the reason why we have to cook 16 on New Year's Eve is also very particular, because the sixteenth means "smooth sailing" and also means "smooth sailing". But after New Year's Eve, that is, from the second day of the New Year to the fifteenth day of the first month, we usually go out to visit relatives.
And wait for the arrival of relatives at home, so if relatives come, be sure to prepare 10 dishes. These ten dishes are generally some of the dishes we just talked about, but they are six less than the New Year's Eve. In short, whatever you cook during the New Year feels the best, especially the dishes cooked by your parents, which taste the best in your mouth.
I'm from the northern countryside. What I know about what to eat in rural areas for the New Year is different from place to place. But it's basically jiaozi on New Year's Eve.
On the second and third day of the first day, these three days are basically cooking at noon and eating pasta for dinner. Of course, the habits and economic conditions of each family are different, and the types and richness are also different.
Chinese New Year's lunch is basically a few vegetarian dishes and a warm pot.
This is more common in the north. Meat dishes include pork, chicken, mutton, beef and some fish.
Vegetarian dishes are also common dishes, such as tofu, cabbage, potatoes, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes and so on. Eating vegetables in the New Year is different between urban and rural areas, but it is not very big.
Dinner is basically minced meat noodles, plus a few side dishes. This diet is also reasonable. Pasta is the staple food in the north, so it is natural to eat pasta during the New Year.
You can't eat big fish all day, it's not easy to digest.
The above is the basic information I have learned about what to eat in the northern rural areas for the New Year.
