Description:

"Are these black eggs edible?" In a farmer's house in Songpinggou Township, Diexi Town, Maoxian County, Sichuan Province, 32-year-old Pete was too greedy to move chopsticks. Peter came from South Africa and worked as an English teacher in Chengdu a year and a half ago. This is his first Spring Festival in Sichuan. In the countryside, he watches the scenery on the tractor, eats bacon and drinks white wine in the farmhouse and breathes fresh air in the valley. For Pete, this trip has gained a lot, which has brought him closer to the traditional culture of China.

Details:

"Go! Go to the countryside in Sichuan for the New Year. " Peter went to the countryside with his friends as soon as he had a holiday last year. They made a good trip in advance, starting from Chengdu and heading for Jiuzhaigou, all the way to find the most traditional flavor of the year.

according to the itinerary made in advance, they had a New Year's Eve dinner in a farmhouse in Songpinggou Township. At the foot of the mountain, there is a green tile house, a wisp of smoke around the mountain, and rows of smoked bacon are hung on the roof beams ... The scenery in front of him makes Pete particularly interested and feels like he is in a paradise in a martial arts drama.

New Year's Eve dinner is the highlight of Chinese New Year. Peter specially took a picture of his first New Year's Eve dinner. Soak chicken feet, preserved eggs with cold sauce, braised pork, bacon, sliced auricularia, Sichuan style pork ... totally 18 dishes, all of which are the most traditional dishes. For Pete, these dishes are not "homely" at all, and some of them are heavy flavors that he has never eaten.

"That black egg looks so strange." The black egg in Pete's mouth is preserved egg. For foreigners, preserved eggs look black in appearance, and yolk is often black or gray, which makes it difficult for them to eat. "The preserved eggs on the dining table didn't dare to move, and they didn't dare to eat chicken feet."

Peter didn't know the meaning of Spring Festival before this trip. In that small village, there are 4 people on the dinner table of the New Year's Eve, all of whom are relatives and friends of this family. "I think the meaning of the Spring Festival is similar to that of Christmas. At Christmas, we will travel thousands of miles to get home for reunion." Peter said that the Spring Festival is a festival for family reunion. This Chinese New Year experience in the countryside made him make many friends, and this New Year's Eve dinner made him unforgettable.
