Visiting relatives and friends is an important custom during the Spring Festival, and it is also the best way for relatives to enhance their feelings. In rural areas, it usually begins on the second day of the New Year's Day until all relatives have gone. Every New Year, my family takes gifts to visit my long-lost uncle. The old couple are also very enthusiastic. They prepared the ingredients early and wanted to cook a sumptuous dish for our family. Although the appearance and taste of the dishes were slightly inferior, the old couple put all the dishes they thought were the best on the table. Every dish is carefully cooked by them, and the farmhouse food tastes very safe.

This stewed sparerib is delicious and the soup is bright. Pick it up with chopsticks and gently pump it with your hand, and the meat and bones on the ribs will separate. When the ribs were served on the table, my uncle proudly said that there was no pepper and star anise in the stew, for fear that the color of the ribs soup would not look good. It seems that my uncle knows a lot about the kitchen, but it is best not to put so many fragrant leaves in the stewed ribs, which can highlight the fresh fragrance of the ribs themselves.

My uncle heard that young people prefer to eat pickled fish, so when we went to visit relatives, he bought ingredients to cook pickled fish for dinner. Although the appearance of this pickled fish made by my uncle is not very good-looking, the taste is a bit surprising. The sour taste of pickled fish is perfectly combined with the hemp flavor of pepper. The fresh and tender fish fully absorbs the taste of the soup, and the taste is smooth and delicious. Farmers' home cooking can be so delicious.

Besides the heavy and greasy dishes like big fish and big meat, we also need some fresh and delicious stir-fried dishes. Among them, fried leek with eggs is an auto fast food with high serving rate at our local Spring Festival banquet. Eggs and leeks are very fresh. Usually, there are no rules and routines in home cooking, and they are all fried according to their own preferences. My uncle's garlic fried eggs, with dried peppers and soy sauce, masked the umami taste of some eggs and leeks, but they were delicious, homely and comfortable to eat.

Usually years ago, when preparing for the Spring Festival, many families would buy a few Jin of braised pig's head meat and keep it in the refrigerator. When entertaining guests during the Spring Festival, they will take it out for steaming and heating, and then have a cool drink after the cold salad. However, this time, my uncle didn't take the usual path. He fried onions with pig's head meat, and it was also very good to taste with green peppers. Pig's head meat is delicious and melts in your mouth. When the onion is completely cooked, it is not only spicy but also sweet.

The cultured Chinese sturgeon basically has no small thorns, and children can also eat fish with big mouths. Acipenser sinensis, like other freshwater fish, is suitable for many practices, but personally, steaming can best reflect its original flavor. If this steamed sturgeon is steamed, it should be more delicious to change the knives on both sides before steaming.

This kind of fried garlic shoot with sliced meat has not been processed too much, and it is a simple home cooking method. No matter how it tastes, the half-centimeter-thick sliced meat looks really magnificent.

Sausage was made by my uncle's family a few years ago. Eight points of lean meat and two points of fat meat, without any additives, are genuine. You'd better slice the sausage before steaming it. If the sausage is easy to spread after steaming, it will affect the appearance. However, in my uncle's words, "we are all real relatives, so we don't pay much attention to it. Come as soon as possible."

This fried celery and dried coriander is a relatively "exquisite" dish. Celery and dried coriander are not easy to taste. If they are not delicious, they will have no taste. The celery fried by my uncle is still delicious. Crispy celery and fresh celery are both blanched with salt water before frying, and then fried in a pot is more delicious.

Pigskin jelly is a must-have cold dish for our local Chinese New Year banquet. Years ago, when preparing new year's goods, my uncle would set up a big pot and chop wood to make a pot of delicious pigskin jelly. When I go to my uncle's house every New Year, my favorite food is the pigskin jelly made by my uncle, which is much more delicious than that sold on the street.

In China's traditional hospitality culture, as long as there are guests at home, we should take out the best ingredients at home and make the banquet as rich as possible. Going to my uncle's house to visit relatives, although the dishes at the banquet were not delicacies, the old couple tried their best to cook the best and most grounded home-cooked food for us, which also made people feel more at ease and comfortable to eat.
