A friend, a gentleman, was ill last year. Fortunately, the lucky man is in heaven, and everything is stable. He told me to write, stole the sentences of the ancients, and slightly changed the digital cloud: "I have a bosom to accompany me, and my body and mind are safe and sound for a long time." I hope he will be healthy and broad-minded in Kangji in the coming year.
There is also a lovelorn little brother who wrote a pair of couplets to him half jokingly: "There are plenty of fish in the sea, and there are infatuations in the world." The horizontal approval is: "The wind is waiting for the moon." I believe that with his temperament, he can make a peach blossom in the New Year.
There are also two husband and wife, both old friends. The husband likes the things in the cup, and he always drinks the wine alone, and he forgets the machine happily. While the wife happens to meet the birth year, she draws up a couplet saying, "night snack likes to spread the wine and occasionally sings the horn song." Conscious can still be appropriate.
In fact, there is another one that is also suitable for them. "Du wine is drunk when serving guests, and the cow's hoof is not forgotten." Explain a little. In his later years, Mr. Qi Baishi wrote many poems to miss his childhood. The beauty is that many of them are relevant to the Year of the Ox, such as: "The apricot dock is outside the mountain, and it will be evening every now and then. Don't forget to go home, and there are traces of cattle hooves. " That is, what I said in the couplet above.
There is another one: "Grandma started to be happy when she heard the bell, and she once twisted her horns to graze cattle. Children and grandchildren still plough the spring rain, and they are always full of sweat on the plow. " Picturesque scene, vividly write that when I was young, I herded cows and came home late. My grandmother waited by the door and smiled when she heard the cow bell ring.
I don't know, just stop.
The theme of the Spring Festival, or the reunion of relatives and friends, and the introduction of poetry before, are also inseparable from family nostalgia. And a delicious and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner is always a miss of China people during the Chinese New Year. In the WeChat circle of friends these days, there are countless pictures of sun-dried food, and the value is not low. In imagination, the taste will not be bad.
As I wrote in the last column, my grandparents are from Ningbo, and when they were young, they spent the Spring Festival at home, and the dishes they prepared were very distinctive. However, they didn't eat spicy chicken, millet shrew, braised pork with salted vegetables, meat with sand and old pickling knives, which were common in Guiyang. I remember that every year, the dessert is always an eight-treasure rice, and the practice is similar to that of Guiyang people, but there is a lot of sweet bean paste buried in it, and a group of our cousins snatched it up in an instant. When I was an adult, I ate eight-treasure rice with thick sauce at my friend's house, and I suddenly felt refreshed, because my family ate it dry and didn't add soup.
However, some foods, including many Chinese New Year delicacies, have not been eaten for almost 20 years, and when I put pen to paper, I can't help but miss them. One is a white gourd pot. The big white gourd is peeled, stuffed with ingredients such as squid, scallop, crispy skin, mushrooms, tendons, quail eggs, vermicelli, belly strips, etc., steamed in the pot, full of flavor, and integrated into one. After the food is exhausted, the white gourd is dug to eat, and the taste of various ingredients is full, which is the essence of the essence.
Another one is boiled chicken, which is a kung fu dish. My uncle is the best at it. He chooses chickens to slaughter, plucks and washes them, and does it all by himself. The process of scalding chicken is particularly complicated, and the heat can't be missed by a spark. It is still bloodshot when cut, fresh and invincible. Not long ago, I ate his cooking at a friend's house, and the taste was amazing. I didn't hesitate to put forward the remaining half. I want to pack it and take it away. The next day, my daughter actually killed all of them by herself, and sent a short message to her friend, "My daughter is very appreciative of the cold-cut chicken." But after a while, the reply came: "I'll send it to your house some day." The daughter pouted: "Usually modest people will answer, thank you, no need. An unpretentious person like my dad will say, I am expecting your arrival. " hahaha.
My uncle is also good at making smoked fish. He needs fresh grass carp, which is also a very complicated thing. It is a must-have snack for guests at home during the Chinese New Year. Several of our children like to eat smoked fish. In the past, there was no refrigerator at home, so the dishes prepared in advance could only be placed in the back yard. If the temperature is low, they can be kept fresh for several days. So when people were unprepared, they secretly took a few pieces to satisfy their cravings. Now that I think about it, adults are not necessarily unaware of it. For the sake of celebrating the New Year, they are too lazy to poke it.
Nowadays, social progress, economic development, countless benefits, but not eating New Year's Eve dinner at home is becoming more and more popular, and you can book hotels at any time. It is convenient and convenient, and the appearance is beautiful, but it lacks some homely flavor and fireworks that every household should have. What a pity.
