There is no uniform standard for how many dishes to cook in the New Year, and the number of New Year's Eve dinners prepared by different regions and people will be different. Generally speaking, people in China pay attention to yes-men and prepare even-numbered dishes. Some families have fewer people on New Year's Eve, and they may prepare 6 to 8 dishes and take 6 dishes. Six-six Dashun? What do you mean by numbers? 8? It means getting rich. Some families invite more people that day, and may prepare 12 or 16 dishes.
In fact, it is also very lucky to cook 10 dishes in the New Year. Perfect? Good luck. You can add two or four more dishes if there are many people, but don't waste too much. If you cook too many dishes, it's a pity to throw them away and waste money, but it's not a good thing to eat leftovers for a few days, so many families now prepare dishes for New Year's Eve. Meaning? Imagine, after all, it is an annual big day, and there must be a certain ceremony.
In short, it is best to take even numbers for the New Year's Eve dinner, but you can also take odd numbers. In this society, people live a relatively rich life. The New Year's Eve dinner is not only for eating well, but more importantly, the family is round and round.
