1. firewood chicken
Now many big cities have opened firewood chicken shops, and the business is very good. However, in rural areas, chickens are healthy and pollution-free, and firewood is better to eat. Every New Year, people in rural areas will cook their own firewood chickens without going to restaurants, cook them at home and stew a pot of potatoes, which is enough for several meals!
2. Sausage and bacon
Sausage and bacon are indispensable Chinese New Year delicacies in rural areas. In the past, rural areas liked to kill pigs themselves, then take them to the market to make fine meat, mix their favorite sauces and fill them into sausages, then smoke them with cypress branches and air dry them by the way. The prepared sausages and bacon are very chewy and salty. When you are free, you can eat a dried bacon all afternoon!
3. croquettes
Fried meatballs are also necessary for Chinese New Year. The meatballs are round, which means that the whole family can be round and round. The countryside likes to fry pork balls. The fried pork balls are tender in the outside, oily but not greasy, and a bowl of fragrant soup will make you warm all winter!
4. Pork jelly
Pork belly is very popular in rural areas. It is fat and thin, tastes fat but not greasy, and it is not expensive to sell. A lot of spices are used to make pork jelly, such as star anise and cinnamon, and soy sauce with soy sauce is used together, which not only looks good, but also tastes very good!
5. Fish
Eating fish in the Spring Festival is a traditional custom in China, which means that there is more than one year! Therefore, the practice of fish in rural areas is also very powerful. Steamed, pickled vegetables, boiled and braised in soy sauce are basically cooked by rural families, and the fish are very pollution-free. The dishes are also picked in their own fields, so eat with confidence!
There are several kinds of must-have dishes in rural areas during the Spring Festival. Local customs are: raw onions represent cleverness, green vegetables represent a clean and white year, big calculations represent a good new year, pig's head and pig's feet respect the world, fish represents a surplus every year, and other dishes think that it is delicious and do that.
With social progress and developed economy, people's living conditions are getting better and better, and everyone's face is showing a happy face, 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 who return 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 of our country is slightly different in the taste. Farmers in the north will reserve all kinds of meat and vegetables to eat with them in winter. The most distinctive one is stewed pork vermicelli. Chicken, duck, fish and vegetables are definitely indispensable. In the south, which is slightly different from the north, the chicken, duck and fish will be pickled and dried in the sun, which is convenient to eat at any time and tastes more fragrant and delicious. In Hubei province, we will still simmer soup, and every household will have to simmer soup to entertain guests, especially during the Chinese New Year. The most distinctive way of simmering soup is the lotus root growing in the lake, which can be used as raw material and mixed with all kinds of meat. For example, adding pickled pork ribs and other wax goods 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 served as steamed vegetables, and 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 time to share the fruits of labor and get together to taste delicious food.
The countryside is now more lively, jubilant, more and more vigorous and thick.
Nowadays, everyone is very particular about Chinese New Year, which really has the flavor of Chinese New Year customs. Pork, beef, mutton, chicken, the table is very lively. The best fragrant rice wine made in the countryside itself, as well as peanuts, are all auspicious. The most interesting dish is "fish", which means that there is more than enough in successive years and you will make a fortune in the coming year.
In addition, in chicken, there are: the head of the chicken is called the phoenix head, the foot of the chicken is 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.
There are many dishes to eat in rural areas during the New Year, and pigs will be killed door to door in rural areas during the New Year.
1, meat croquettes
Chop the lean meat into stuffing, add a little thirteen spices and soy sauce to taste, and finally save it into small meat balls, then wrap them with a little starch, fry them in the pan until golden, and take them out. The taste is crisp outside and tender inside, and sprinkling some pepper cumin powder makes it spicy and delicious. Meat croquettes can be used for stews and are delicious.
2, cold folded ear root
Crocodile root, also known as Houttuynia cordata Thunb, is a common wild vegetable in rural Shan Ye. The ear root tastes crisp and delicious, and has a special taste. Some friends are not used to it. As long as you taste it slowly, you will fall in love with its unique taste. It's cool and detoxifying, and we especially like it. The practice is also very simple, just wash it and cut it into pieces, and then mix it with seasoning. Some people also use it to fry meat. This dish can be said to be a must-have dish for rural people in the New Year.
3. Fried bacon with shredded radish
Bacon has its unique taste and taste, and it can be preserved for a long time. Generally, smoked bacon is no problem from the year before to the end of the year. And shredded radish is a home-cooked dish that is often served in the countryside. The method of shredded radish is simple. The radish is washed and cut into filaments. After cutting, it is put into a bag and pressed, and the excess water is squeezed out, and then a lot of salt is used to taste. Finally, put it in the jar and marinate it.

There are chickens, ducks, geese, etc. on the rural dining table during the Spring Festival. Most of the dishes on the dinner table are livestock raised by farmers themselves and green vegetables grown by them.
The customs in different places may be different.
Let's talk about some customs that I personally know:
In rural Yunnan, it is called "killing pig rice" for the New Year, 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 put dozens of tables for killing pig rice, which is comparable to holding a banquet.
Fishermen in rivers and seas mainly eat fish in the New Year, which means that there is more than one year.
In our rural areas of Hunan Province, there must be at least one dish for Chinese New Year: Chinese New Year Baba, Baba, tofu, bacon, pork, pig's trotters, braised pork, fish, chicken, oily tofu, venetian blinds, twisted beef and hot pot, and there must be at least one in good family conditions.
I spend the Spring Festival in the countryside every year. As far as I can remember, 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 of the past, this "hodgepodge" dish mainly consisted of potatoes and cabbages. If possible, add a little vermicelli and tofu, stew some pork and mix them together, as well as dried cucurbits, dried day lilies, poured beans and boiled together with some oil, and it became a "hodgepodge" dish. At that time, when people in rural areas ate vegetables, everyone dug a bowl and ate it separately. It was not fashionable to eat it in one plate.
Later, life gradually improved. Chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, and all kinds of meat products were on the farmer's table, and some out-of-season vegetables could be eaten at any time. Farmers can often eat that delicious food. However, the "hodgepodge" dishes in the New Year's Eve 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 have been added. Farmers' habit of making bowls of vegetables has also changed. The "hodgepodge" is still a delicious dish, and rural people will never be able to live without this "hodgepodge" dish, even for weddings and funerals.
I love this "hodgepodge" dish in the countryside.
Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month. In the former countryside, tofu will be made by grinding on this day. As the saying goes, "Twenty-five cooks tofu". Tofu is actually very important in the Chinese New Year cuisine. Farmers will fry oil-fried tofu during the Chinese New Year, and tofu is still a rich dish. And you can make your own tofu milk before you run out of tofu.
Chinese New Year's food is very rich and exquisite. Our New Year's dinner was on the morning of New Year's Eve. In the past, some people got up at three or four o'clock in the morning to cook, and they began to eat New Year's dinner at the first light. In our local New Year's dishes must be even, and there must be no hot pot, so people can't pour vegetables and water. In rural areas, we must eat New Year's dinner with a square table, and a fried carp is required on the table. This carp can't be eaten, and carp can't be scaled, which symbolizes the willingness to leap into the dragon's gate and have more than one year.
Eating meat dishes during the Chinese New Year is much less. In our local area, we have the custom of making pig's elbow, and there are chicken feet. Chicken feet symbolize grasping money, so people want to grab more money when they eat chicken feet. They pay attention to their luck, win more money at cards and buy 5 million in lottery tickets. Of course, this is a beautiful saying of people. Fried beef with Chili, braised pork, fried meat with black fungus and other meat dishes.
And fried colors. They were all blown up at home on the 28th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month. For example, meatballs, meatballs, fish pieces and lotus root clips are still very historical. 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.
There is also a dish of various meatballs in our local area, which symbolizes the family's happiness. 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. For vegetarian dishes, we usually choose stir-fried lotus root, which is what the old man said. If you eat too much, many people are smart, and there is also a vegetable, we usually choose red flower 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 it, that is, steamed pork with rice flour. Every family here will steam a large pot of steamed pork with a large iron pot on the firewood stove during the New Year, enough to eat steamed pork with rice flour for a week. Steamed pork is coarse powder of lotus root, pork and rice, stirred with oil, salt and soy sauce, and then steamed with a firewood stove, delicious.
I am an ordinary road in 365, and it's the Spring Festival, so I'll pay tribute to you in the early years.
In fact, if we want to ask what food to eat in rural areas for the New Year, we should understand one thing first, that is, the difference in rural food culture between the north and the south. For example, the most prominent point of the north-south food is that every meal in the south can't be separated from steamed rice. However, almost every meal in our north can't be separated from steamed bread, but when it comes to the New Year, what I know best is the dishes in our northern rural areas. First of all, my parents are shopping for new year's goods these days. For example, my father bought a large piece of pork today.
You know, the most abundant meal for Chinese New Year is usually left on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, which is also called "New Year's Eve". On this day, a large family sits around to eat New Year's Eve and watch the Spring Festival Evening, so there are 16 dishes on the table, such as "elbow", "braised fish", "braised chicken with vinegar" and "mixed tofu with shallots".
Then the reason why we have to cook 16 dishes on Chinese New Year's Eve is also very particular, because the meaning of the sixteenth is "to be smooth" and it also means "smooth sailing". However, after New Year's Eve, that is, from the second day of the New Year's Day to the fifteenth day, these days, we usually go out to visit relatives.
And waiting for the arrival of relatives at home, then if relatives come, we should prepare 10 dishes. These ten dishes are generally some of the dishes we talked about just now, but they are six less than the New Year's Eve. In short, no matter what dishes are cooked, they feel the best in the New Year, especially the food cooked by parents is the most delicious in the mouth.
I'm from a rural area in the north. What I know about what to eat in rural areas for the New Year is that it varies from place to place. But it's basically eating jiaozi on New Year's Eve.
On the second and third day of the first day of junior high school, these three days are basically cooking at noon and pasta for dinner. Of course, the habits and economic conditions of each family are different, and the types and richness are different.
Chinese New Year's lunch is basically a few meat dishes and vegetarian dishes, plus 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. There is a difference between urban and rural areas in eating vegetables in the New Year, but it is not very big.
Dinner is basically noodles with minced meat, plus a few side dishes. This diet is also reasonable. Pasta is the main food in the north, so it is natural to eat pasta during the New Year.
It can't be big fish and big meat all day, and it's not easy to digest.
The above is what I know about the basic situation of what to eat in the northern rural areas for the New Year.
