This year's New Year was the most prosperous time for the Yu family, and Yu Jianping finally returned to Rao Township.
It is a tradition in Raoxiang to worship ancestors first on New Year's Eve. This is a sign of respect for the ancestors and also hopes that the ancestors can bless the family with good health in the new year.
Yu Jianguo had already bought candles and firecrackers for ancestor worship, while Yu Jianping took Yu Jian and Yu Yuan were making red peach cakes.
After the sea fish is dried, it is tied with a red silk rope, peach cakes are piled into a tower, several plates of pork bigger than the face are placed, chicken, duck and citrus are added, ginger sweet potato candy, needle vegetables, mushrooms, fungus and fried peanuts are arranged.
, make three cups of tea and three cups of wine.
Finally, light the incense and candles.
This is the most important annual event in Raoxiang.
Yu Jian held three incense sticks reverently, put the base of the incense on her forehead, and bowed three times deeply to her ancestors' tablets devoutly. Ever since she opened the box in the attic, her sense of belonging to the Yu family has become even more profound.
At this moment, she is remembering not only her ancestors, but also her father and brothers with whom she had only a small relationship.
Comrade Yu Jianping just followed Grandma Yu to the old man’s grave the day before yesterday. Over the years, we have been separated from each other forever. There are overgrown weeds in front of the monument, and only one photo is left to freeze the old man’s eternal smiling face.
Yu Jianping touched the old man's face sadly, with unspeakable sadness: "Godfather, I'm back..."
He quietly pulled out all the grass and wiped the tombstone spotless. After finishing all this, he poured the old man three glasses of wine without saying a word. At this time, silence was better than sound. This man's feelings had always been in the drizzle.
Run performed everything silently and silently.
The dinner on New Year's Eve was even more sumptuous. Two brothers, Yu Jianguo and Yu Jianping, divided the round table into eight equal parts and used large trays to serve the dishes. However, Yu Jian had no use for it and was arranged to drink tea with her grandma in the small courtyard.
Melon seeds.
Child Yu Yuan sighed: "I really wish every day was a Chinese New Year..."
Yu Jian threw a melon seed shell on his head and joked: "I usually treat you badly, huh?" He must be the one who eats the most new things.
"No, no, no..." Yu Yuan shook her finger and shook her head, "My mother won't hit me during the Chinese New Year!" She plays hard and eats hard every day. Even if she makes mistakes, her old mother is still "amiable and amiable"
"Facing it with a smile, this is the ideal life...
However, what answered him was more melon seed shells thrown on his head. He patted his hair and glared at his sister with a fierce expression on his face: "I washed my hair specially in the morning, don't get it dirty!"
He even secretly applied his father’s hairspray!
Braised meat platter, sea cucumber baked pork ribs, stir-fried snow peas, fried eggs with shrimp fry, fish with plum sauce and bamboo shoots, steamed blue crab noodles, braised abalone with pig tail, boiled salubrix, a plate of freshly blanched blood clams in the middle, and
Each person has a serving of pig blood and olive soup, which is perfect.
Yu Yuan's eyes widened and he pinched his thigh hard, only to realize that it was not a dream. He had never eaten so many local dishes from Raoxiang, let alone cooked by two chefs.
He went to his father's side, gave him a wet kiss, and blurted out a rainbow fart: "Dad, you are so awesome!"
Enjoying the sudden tenderness between father and son, Yu Jianguo told him: "I will inherit my father's mantle from now on." The daughter's delicate hand can just hold the pen, and the son can inhale more fumes from the kitchen.
The little guy's expression of resentment instantly made everyone laugh.
This is the first time that Yu Jian has seen so many Raoxiang dishes. She is eating the pig tail abalone that Yu's mother gave her. The pig tail is stewed to a glutinous state, the pig skin is elastic, and the abalone is tender and wrapped in rich sauce.
Enjoyable. Yu Jianping added a little chili pepper, and the aftertaste is still a little spicy.
The goose feet in the braised food platter were a little crispy and made a crunching sound when chewed in the mouth. Yu Jian found that such goose feet were more delicious than soft and glutinous ones.
The bamboo shoot fish is also called the fool fish. It is boneless and meaty. The local method in Raoxiang is to steam it. Yu Jianguo removes the head and tail of the bamboo shoot fish, cuts it into two-inch wide slices, and steams it with plum juice. The fish meat is not only delicious but also delicious.
, also has the aroma of plums, and the soup is sour and sweet, giving it a unique flavor.
There is also the sea cucumber baked pork ribs. The sea cucumber is so stewed that it can only be scooped out with a spoon. The alluring aroma is right in front of your nose. As soon as you put it in your mouth, it turns into a salty and sweet soup. Take another bite of the pork ribs and the bones will be roasted.
Crispy.
Yu Jian took out the crab meat from the crab shell, mixed it with a bowl of crab meat noodles for Yu Yuan, and poured it with crab juice. After just one bite, he kept shaking his legs.
"Dad, Uncle Jianping, these dishes can be sold in restaurants," Yu Jian said.
Yu Jianping has also thought about this problem. It is feasible but difficult: "The food in Raoxiang is fresh, and the fish and shrimp are all freshly caught. If it is less fresh, the taste will be worse. I have found it in Beijing.
, there are no such fresh ingredients.”
"Then have you ever thought about ordering from Raoxiang?" Yu Jian thought and expressed her suggestion. In the past two days, she met many young people not much older than her in the village. After graduating from college, many young people
Choose to return to your hometown to build a beautiful new countryside, and fish farming is one of them.
On the west side of the village, on the sea side, several companies have contracted the sea farm and put in fish fry and crab fry. Even the oyster farm is flourishing.
The land and water support the people, so why not find another way out for this Western Australian village?
Yu Jianping was stunned, and turned around to think about Yu Jian's words. After a moment, he showed an approving smile: "Jian, I will go with my uncle to celebrate the New Year tomorrow!" It seemed that he was planning to get a feel for the situation first.
After dinner, Yu Yuan took Yu Jian to set off fireworks in the yard. These were real fireworks.
A square fireworks tube was placed in the middle of the yard. Yu Jian lit the thread and ran away quickly. Two seconds later, a spark shot out of the sky first, and flew into the sky into the shape of a huge flower, followed by another spark.
It's another one flying up into the sky, and the flowers change from blue to yellow, then to purple and red.
The Yu family's fireworks were like a signal, and every household also started to set off fireworks. Flowers and animals of different shapes and colors flashed one after another in the sky. Yu Yuan's child's mouth turned into an O shape in shock.
Eliminate!
That thing called a magic horse that he put in the capital?!
At the end, I don’t know which one it was, and the finale fireworks were released. The red light gathered in the sky and formed four big characters: Happy New Year.
"Happy New Year!" Yu Yuan shouted and ran wildly in the yard.
The adults in the room were still drinking and chatting. At the entrance of the yard, my sister raised her head and looked at the sky. He screamed twice, unable to hide his inner excitement.
This is the happiest New Year for him! No other one!!
He could finally be with his parents, grandma, and sister, and no longer had to be alone at his grandma's house to envy others.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone, there will be more updates starting today!
