The turn of the year is a new year, gengzi year is not easy, of course, can not help but have some feelings. I have a task every year before the Spring Festival is inevitable, that is, to help friends write Spring Festival couplets, since the feeling, will also take this to express one or two.

A friend, a gentleman, last year contracted a disease, but in good fortune, everything is safe, asked me to write, stole the ancient sentence, slightly changed the number of clouds: "The book has to accompany Su Yin, the body and mind are not hurt for a long time, light and safe." I hope he will be Kangji in the coming year, healthy body and mind wide.

There is also a lost love of the little brother, half jokingly wrote a couplet to him: "Where there is no grass at the end of the world, the world since the love of a fool." The crossword reads, "The wind is waiting for the moon." I believe that with his elegant demeanor, he will be able to have peach blossom luck in the New Year.

Another husband and wife, are old friends, the husband likes the cup, every time the wine alone, happy to forget the machine, and Mrs. happened to meet the year of life, then proposed a couplet said: "Quite love the night stalls wine, shoulder even sing the song of the cow's horns." I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with this.

In fact, there is another one that also suits them, "The wine is served to the guest who stays drunk, and the cow's hooves have traces of not forgetting to return". A little explanation, Mr. Qi Baishi in his later years had written a lot of poems nostalgic for his childhood years, the wonderful thing is that many of them are related to the Year of the Ox, such as: "apricot dock outside the mountain, between the line day will be the evening. I don't worry about forgetting the way back, but there are cow hoof tracks." That's what I was talking about in the couplet above.

There is another one: "My grandmother's heart was happy when she heard the bells, and she also used to twist the horns to herd the cows. The children and grandchildren plowed the spring rains as usual, and the old man sweated on the plow and hoe." The scenario is like a picture, vividly written out when I was young, the cows returned late, grandmother leaned against the door waiting, heard the cowbell ringing, smiling.

The rest of the story is not exhaustive, so let's stop here.

The theme of the Spring Festival is still the reunion of family and friends, and the poems cited earlier are not far from family and nostalgia. And a delicious and hearty New Year's Eve dinner is always on the minds of Chinese people at New Year's Eve. These days in the WeChat circle of friends, sun food pictures of countless, face value is not low, imagine, the taste will not be bad.

Previously, my grandparents wrote that my grandparents were from Ningbo, and when they were at home on New Year's Eve, they prepared some very special dishes, but it was common for people in Guiyang to eat spicy chicken, preserved millet, salt pork, sandwiched meat and old pickled knives and so on, which I didn't get to eat much of. I remember that the annual dessert is always a eight treasures of rice, the practice is similar to the Guiyang people, but buried inside a large number of sweet bean paste, a group of cousins, we instantly snatched up all of them. As an adult, I ate at a friend's house to add gravy to the eight treasures of rice, suddenly feel refreshed three views, because my family are dry, will not be added to the soup.

But there are some foods, there are a number of New Year's treats that I haven't eaten in almost two decades, and I can't help but feel nostalgic when I put pen to paper. One is the winter melon pot, a large winter melon to remove the flesh, stuffed with squid, dried scallops, ring skin, mushrooms, hoof, quail eggs, vermicelli, tripe, and other ingredients, on the pot steamed, rich flavor, fusion of one, fishing dry food, digging the winter melon to eat, sucked full of a variety of ingredients, the essence of the essence of the essence of the flavor.

One more, is the white cut chicken, this is a kung fu dish, sister-in-law's father is the most skillful, selecting the chicken slaughtered, plucking and picking wash, do not pretend to be in the hands of others, all their own manipulation. The process of hot chicken is particularly complex, the fire grasp, can not be worse than a hair's breadth, cut and blood, fresh and unbeatable. Not long ago at a friend's house to eat his handiwork, the flavor is amazing, the remaining half, did not hesitate to put forward, I want to pack up and take away. The next day my daughter actually one person all finished, back to a text message to a friend, "my daughter appreciated the white cut chicken". But a few moments later, the reply came: "One day to do a good job to send to the house." Daughter bristles, "Usually the humble would reply, thanks, no need. Unhumble people like my dad would say, I'm waiting for you at the enclosed." Hahaha.

My sister-in-law's father is also good at making smoked fish, which must be made from fresh grass carp, and is also a very complicated thing to do, with a few big bowls of it, which is a must-have dish during the New Year's Eve when the family has guests. Several of our children like to eat smoked fish, the past home no refrigerator, made in advance of the dishes can only be placed in the back of the small yard, the temperature is low, it can be kept fresh for several days. So take advantage of people are not prepared, secretly take a few pieces to quench their thirst. Now that I think about it, the adults may not have failed to realize that, for the sake of the New Year celebrations, they were too lazy to poke holes in it.

Today's social progress, economic development, the benefits are countless, only not at home to eat New Year's Eve dinner gradually popular, not moving on the booking of the hotel, to the point of the door is convenient, convenient and trouble-free, the quality is also beautiful, is the lack of some of the flavor of each family should have a common taste and fireworks, pity.
