Nowadays, eating New Year's Eve dinner is no longer just to eat a gourmet meal, but also for the loved ones from different sides of the world to meet, the children with their parents to eat a reunion dinner.

Three daughters, son-in-law love to eat what, four granddaughters like to eat what they do, Xu Yizhong have a number in mind. The New Year's Eve dinner is also prepared according to their tastes.

Granddaughter likes to eat chicken wings, chicken legs, and fish and shrimp, daughters love to eat brine chicken claws, these are ready early." Xu Zhong said with some pride: "Four granddaughters like to eat my sweet and sour pork, said than outside restaurants are doing good, pork has long been bought."
Xu Zhong and his partner also fried some cakes and meatballs, according to the three children each family a preparation, fried a pot, each family a, loaded frozen, and so the children come back to the New Year's Day to take home. Xu Zhong said: "Every year on New Year's Day, we will fry some oil cakes, meatballs, sesame flowers, loose children, hemp leaves, oil fruit, etc., children like to eat, before the conditions are not good, and only on New Year's Day can eat, now living conditions are good, even if the food is not much, New Year's Day is still to fry a little to eat, simply fried some oil cakes and meatballs, or not have a New Year's Day feeling.

The New Year's Eve dinner has a lot of names, different from north and south all over the world, there are dumplings, rice cakes, long noodles, snacks, etc., and each has its own instructions. Being in the north, eating dumplings on Chinese New Year is indispensable. Xu Zhong also buys meat and vegetables early, chopping the meat filling himself, which is more flavorful than the dumpling machine. Cutting vegetables, stuffing, flour, rolling, wrapping dumplings, Xu Zhong and his partner two people cooperate, while chatting about the New Year's Eve dinner to do what dishes, but also what to buy, while wrapping the dumplings. The cabbage, celery, and chervil dumplings were frozen and packed separately. Again, the dumplings are divided into three portions, one for each child to take away. In their eyes, what they pack is not just dumplings, but love and reunion for the children.
"One of the three son-in-laws is a southerner, his hometown is in Guangxi, they have to eat rice cake on New Year's Day there, and we also specially bought a packet of it, but we don't know how to do it, so we'll prepare the stuff first, and wait for him to come and then ask him how he eats it. He is alone in this side of the New Year, we also want him to eat the flavor of his hometown." Xu Zhong said, "At the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone in the family should be thought of, not to favor one over the other, here, they are all my children."
Do parents always want to give their children more, working outside their home, in addition to energy saving occasionally go home to accompany them, the New Year's reunion longer, which is also the parents' expectations. The rich New Year's Eve dinner dishes on the table, the family reunion, sitting around the table, *** eat a reunion dinner, the heart of the fullness is difficult to describe.
