Chinese New Year's Eve, reunion night.

All families gathered together to have a reunion dinner.

The men toasted and laughed and talked about the harvest of the year, the women talked about their daily routines, the children played and laughed all over the house, and the whole house could not fit in, floating out along the cracks in the windows and doors.

The Shen family was no exception at this time.

It's just that the men can eat at the wine table when they sit at the same table with the others, and the women and children eat in the back room, the Shen family does not sit at separate tables, but sits together at a large table and eats a real "reunion dinner".

The dishes are eight meat and eight vegetables, and each of them is cooked by Shen Xiangmiao himself, which can be said to be full of color, flavor and flavor, which makes people salivate.

Among these sixteen dishes, many dishes that are eaten on weekdays are not rare, and the new dishes are also the most eye-catching and popular, which are the land of fish and rice and the dried plum vegetables and meat.

The land of fish and rice, as the name suggests, naturally has to have fish and rice.

Cut the fish into dices of uniform size, add cooking wine and salt to marinate for a quarter of an hour, stir-fry the pot of chopped chives, stir-fry well over high heat, successively put the diced carrots and celery that have been blanched, stewed barley, stir-fry evenly and then put salt, water starch, sesame oil, etc. out of the pot into a plate, garnish with a little chives.

The dish is not difficult, and the speed of stir-frying is even faster, but this dish is really popular.

The red of carrots, the green of diced celery, and the white of barley and diced fish, this rich color reminds people of the rich land of fish and rice in the mouths of others.

And when you take a bite, the fragrance of barley and the freshness of the fish are also unconsciously reminiscent of the scene of rice in the water and fish and rice in the middle of the river.

Such a delicacy really deserves the name of this land of fish and rice.

And this dish, which is fish and rice, is a good omen for the saying that there is fish every year, and there is more rice and more grain, and it is a dish with excellent meaning, and because the fish is fresh and tender, fragrant and delicious, it is very delicious, and it is naturally loved.

Especially the Zhang family, who is now pregnant on weekdays and has a more and more light mouth, and Shen Wentao, who is used to eating big fish and meat, the chopsticks of the two people have hardly stopped, and they almost completely round this land of fish and rice.

Other popular dish is the umeboshi dish with pork.

The best fat and even pork belly, boiled in water for more than a quarter of an hour, drained and cut into large meat slices with a small half finger thickness, added dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rock sugar, etc., put on the plum vegetables, poured with cooking wine, directly steamed in the pot for more than half an hour, and then put on two or three hours, and then injured the steamed for half an hour, and this plum dried vegetable button meat was also served on the table.

The long-term steaming makes the meat soft and delicious, almost melt-in-the-mouth, and the long-term placement makes the meat full of taste, and under repeated steaming, all the flavors are included in the pork belly slices.

The plum vegetables and meat that come out of this way are bright in color and shiny with an attractive oily shine, but because of steaming, the oil seeps out into the soup, and the meat slices taste fat but not greasy, soft and glutinous.

The overall taste is different from that of braised pork, and it can be said that it has a different taste, but also because of the same soft taste, Shen Shuntong and Yang's love for deep teeth, and the two of them actually ate a small half plate.

If it weren't for the fact that the second old man was old, eating too much pork belly with fat would not be good for his body, Shen Xiangmiao persuaded him on the side, but he was afraid that this plate of buckle meat would enter the stomachs of the two of them.

And the rest of the chicken, what kind of fried lotus root, what french fries, hawthorn sauce yam...... It can be said that the various dishes are also loved by everyone.

Next, it's the much-talked-about mutton dumplings.

The so-called fresh, a fish and a sheep, that is to say, the fish and mutton are very delicious to eat, and the mutton dumplings are naturally delicious.

Mutton with minced ginger, minced green onions, minced carrots, oil, soy sauce, pepper, pepper water, sesame oil, salt, etc., mixed into fragrant mutton filling, the dumplings are thin, small, pinched into round, white and fat dumplings, after cooking, the skin is thin and the filling is big, fragrant and fragrant, I feel that it is not enough to eat a bowl, I want to eat another bowl, until the belly is really not able to hold the chopsticks.

For this reason, holly and soy, who don't like appetite very much, actually ate a bowl and a half for the first time.

While eating, he muttered: "Originally, I felt that this table full of dishes was full, but I never thought that I could eat so many dumplings." ”

What's even more terrifying is that I didn't feel like I was holding on.

"Why don't you say that the belly is a bottomless pit?" Xia Bing came over to the side, holding the third bowl of dumplings, blowing the hot air on the top, and throwing the dumplings that were still a little hot into his mouth, gasping while eating, he swallowed the dumplings almost flattened in his mouth, and exclaimed: "It's delicious." ”

This appearance of swallowing dates amused everyone around him.

After the reunion dinner, it is time to keep the New Year.

A table of melons, fruits, tea, snacks to eat, adults chatting here, children playing in the yard.

The red lanterns in the yard were bright, and a few children were playing shuttlecock and hide-and-seek, or playing with the wolf, and in the end, they felt bored, so they secretly took the firecrackers that Shen Fuhai said they would put later, and secretly lit them.

The sound of "banging" is endless, and the laughter is continuous, it is really a joyful Chinese New Year's Eve.

At this time, the same was true in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, a night banquet in the palace.

When the loyal ministers of the court, the royal family nobles, and the princes and concubines of the harem were all present.

Lu Shaoye and Concubine Hui are naturally no exception.

Hui Guifei's pair of dragon and phoenix children, because they were young and it was snowing outside, were taken care of by the nursing mothers in the dormitory.

Singing and dancing, staggered, and the night banquet is also a harmonious scene.

"Brother I wish the emperor a long life and good health, and I wish the world peace and the people happiness." King Fu stood up, raised his glass to Qin Mingsheng, and said loudly.

Qin Mingsheng drank the wine in the cup with a smile on his face, and saw that Qin Mingsheng's eyes were a little softer.

Obviously, the dislike between the brothers is not as good as usual, it seems that the previous illness of Princess Fu made Qin Mingsheng have a little more love for King Fu.

Lu Shaoye looked at it coldly, his face was not half happy, but there was no half of depression.

It's the fox that always wants to show its tail, and the day its true face is revealed, no matter how much it hides it, it can't be believed anymore.
