Yesterday, an orange friend had a special New Year's Eve dinner at the "Fireworks China" in the circle of orange friends. A big table full of 20 dishes, almost all from the hands of 17-year-old son!
Family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve
The boy who takes care of the family's New Year's Eve dinner is Guo Zhengdong. My hometown is Fuyang Yinxing Village, and I am a student of Kangqiao Campus of Hangzhou No.14 Middle School.
Guo Zhengdong in the photo, wearing the familiar Chinese name suspenders, is a professional veteran at first glance. An orange friend commented: this is a talented student in the chef school!
Guo Zhengdong
Regarding the New Year's Eve dinner, Guo Zhengdong said that he had consulted some cooking videos and collected recipes the day before, and probably had a menu for the New Year's Eve dinner. Yesterday morning, my aunt and mother went to town to buy food. My grandparents and I were together for the first time. I am responsible for steaming yam and mashing it into mud; Grandpa is responsible for killing turtles and chickens, while grandma is busy making cakes with red dates. The family is busy inside and outside.
Guo Zhengdong makes New Year's Eve dinner.
This table is full of dishes. At first glance, many people can't name them. Guo Zhengdong said that some of them were learned from recipes, some were their own creative dishes, and some were improvised yesterday.
For example, the blueberry yam stove, Guo Zhengdong specially prepared blueberry juice with honey and blueberry sauce, and then poured it on the yam cake, which was particularly delicious and became the most sought-after dish in New Year's Eve.
There is also a kind of yam cake, which is an extra part of yam mud after eating blueberry yam. I had a brainwave and thought of yam cake. I also creatively put cucumbers, strawberries and other fruits in it, and covered it with sesame powder. I didn't expect it to taste particularly good.
For this New Year's Eve dinner, Ms. Yang is not surprised at all. She said that this is not the first year for her son to have a reunion dinner.
In the third grade of elementary school, Guo Zhengdong once stood in front of the stove and watched her cook. She found it particularly interesting and asked him if he wanted to try it. Guo Zhengdong took the spatula in his mother's hand. It was also from that time that I began to like cooking.
Guo Zhengdong has been very busy in recent years, participating in the New Year's Eve dinner, but he was responsible for several dishes in previous years and became the main creative staff this year.
Not only can he cook, but when other children go home to do their homework and attend interest classes, the diligent boy usually does the daily housework at home. It is also common to go back to Fuyang village on holidays and go to the fields to help grandparents do farm work.
"Why do you have so much time to cook and do housework?" When I couldn't help asking this question, Guo Zhengdong's answer was: Because I don't take interest classes!
Ms. Yang said that because she had never attended an interest class since she was a child, she spent a lot of time on what she was most interested in. In addition to cooking, Guo Zhengdong also likes sports, writing, painting and seal cutting, and is keen on doing public welfare and participating in social practice.
Just three days ago, Guo Zhengdong, as a volunteer, spent a whole day washing cars at Wan Wan Car Wash Shop and working as a volunteer policeman at East Station.
As many people in Hangzhou know, the employees of Wan Wan Car Wash Station graduated from special education schools. Because of the shortage of manpower at the end of the year, cars came in one after another after arriving at the post, and Guo Zhengdong almost never stopped all morning.
After washing the car, together with other volunteers, I sent warm scarves to the employees of "Wanwan Car Wash Station", which contained postcards carefully typeset by Guo Zhengdong with his own paintings.
"Although a boy didn't talk, he kept smiling at me after receiving the postcard, which was particularly warm." Guo Zhengdong said.
Having done this, I rushed to the East Station to be a security guard. My main job is to help passengers buy tickets and carry luggage. He goes out at 9 in the morning and goes home at 6 in the evening.
How is such a sensible child trained?
Ms. Yang said that no matter what her academic performance, she should strive to be the first. So when I was a child, I would take him out to do public welfare, participate in practical activities and participate in small reporter activities. I am an old member of the express "The Lion Who Loves Writing".
"Every activity is not for him to complete the task, the preparation before the activity, the process of the activity, and the feeling after the activity. These are all necessary. "
Last Spring Festival, Guo Zhengdong followed the father of the construction industry and moved bricks on the construction site. It's really moving bricks! I came home with ashes.
"Fully respect his ideas and let him do everything. What parents have to do is to teach him the correct way to use it, because it is more important to cultivate habits. "
Eat at noon, take a nap in the afternoon, and pack jiaozi in the evening.
Orange friends enjoy New Year's dinner all over the country.
New Year's Eve this year is both familiar and unfamiliar to China people. Because of the epidemic, many people have been unable to go home for dinner with their families for two or three years. Therefore, this year's New Year's Eve dinner is particularly warm and lively, and the fireworks that have been violated for a long time are back! On the interactive orange persimmon App, orange friends from all over the country have made their own reunion dinners.
Let's see what the year of China is!
Orange Friends @ Lin Yueru's maiden name is Shengzhou, Shaoxing, and her lover's hometown is Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Both husband and wife work in Hangzhou and have a lively and lovely son. A few years ago, they settled in Pujia New Village and lived a stable and happy life. Every Spring Festival, a family of three will either go back to their hometown in Shengzhou and then go to Xuzhou. This year, it's their turn to return to their husband's hometown in Xuzhou. It is a custom there to have New Year's Eve dinner at noon.
@ Lin Yueru: My husband's hometown is Xuzhou, Jiangsu. They all choose to have dinner there at noon. The food at noon is quite rich. After a nap in the afternoon, I began to eat jiaozi for dinner. After eating jiaozi, I will wait to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Dinner in the south is generally rich, so there are differences between the customs of the north and the south. Every Spring Festival Evening, the host will ask, Did you eat jiaozi in the evening? Southerners want us to have a big New Year's Eve dinner. Why eat jiaozi? Southerners are a little puzzled!
Orange friend @ 丫丫丫丫丫丫丫丫丫 is a native of Hangzhou, who lives near Yangbatou, where network celebrities punch cards. Every year, two New Year's Eve dinners are eaten at her uncle's house in Wangjiang Road. The family rules set from the year when Grandpa 1988 died cannot be shaken every year. My mother has three brothers and sisters, two sisters and a younger brother. When father is gone, I will explain that you brothers and sisters should not be separated.
The family reunion dinner shows China people's understanding of affection and family, and it is an umbilical cord of China people.
@ 丫丫丫丫丫丫: The first bite to eat in the New Year must be spring rolls!
A table of New Year fireworks was prepared at home, and the dogs were greedy!
Chen You @ Winnie's hometown is in Jiangsu, and his family's New Year's Eve dinner truly reflects the exquisiteness of Huaiyang cuisine. From the cold dish to the main meal to the dim sum, there are meanings and exquisite: the golden lotus root in honey sauce means sweetness, the salted duck means New Year's Eve, Nanjing sushi means perfection, stewed lion's head means auspiciousness, braised pork and glutinous rice means rolling in financial resources, and the first spring roll means being the first, which is the traditional taste of China people.
@ Winnie the Pooh: China people's New Year's Eve dinner is a family reunion dinner, which is the most important one in a year. Eating is joy, food is affection, and it is the taste of home. Talking about family, sitting around the table, it's fun!
In the new year, Urban Express Orange and Persimmon Interactive also wishes you a wide range of financial resources, persimmon brocade in the Year of the Rabbit and red rabbit exhibition!
@ Kong Dizhe, this damn curse: the online show of New Year's Eve has begun! Taizhou people are luxurious and have enough seafood! People in Quzhou eat New Year's Eve at three or four o'clock, and the casserole and crock should be filled. Have a good meal and be healthy!
@T-OK: There is no fun for everyone to have dinner, only the warmth of a small family. 2023 is still full of warmth and love.
Every year, my mother cooks eight-treasure dishes, spring rolls and eight-treasure rice at the dinner table. My favorite is spring rolls, which are made from stuffing, wrapped into rolls, fried and taken out, squeezed with a little tomato sauce, and bitten down in one bite. They are fragrant with meat, cabbage and winter bamboo shoots, which is super satisfying. There are also fried eel, black-bone chicken soup, braised beef slices, boiled chicken, fried shredded pork with leek sprouts, and a pot of hodgepodge similar to hot pot.
All wishes come true in 2023, all the best, happiness and peace!
@27 149: I had a New Year's Eve dinner at my uncle's house this year, because there was a "newcomer" in the big family.
Over the years, for various reasons, the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner is slightly inadequate. This is the first time that so many people can get together on New Year's Eve.
The chef is still my uncle. After watching the video on a certain platform, he was on fire, and his understanding was extremely high!
@ Time flies: I haven't eaten New Year's Eve dinner at home for many years. Prepare early this year and start eating at 5: 30. It feels particularly good to eat New Year's Eve at home. I wish you all a happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
@ 中中中中: The New Year's Eve is the real taste of the year!
@ Mi Qiu Mi Qiu: Two people's New Year's Eve, we finally made it to the finals, but our parents are over, and we are afraid that they will not spend the New Year with us. I wish you all good health and good luck in the New Year!
@ It's nice to laugh: New Year's Eve, perfect, round and round!
Father-in-law and husband who seldom drink, have some yellow wine. The other three of us drank coconut milk, and everyone raised a glass to celebrate the New Year. At this time, firecrackers were everywhere, and it was very lively. China celebrates all over the country.
Sweet and sweet, salted duck means Happy New Year, Nanjing assorted vegetables mean perfection, stewed lion's head means auspiciousness, braised pork means rolling in financial resources, and the number one spring roll means being the first. Yes, this is the traditional taste of China people.
