Meat swallow is the special delicacy of Sanshan, take the lean pork leg and beat it into meat puree, and add sweet potato flour, roll it into a paper sheet, cut it into small pieces of three inches square, wrap it with meat filling, make it into flat food, cook it and eat it with soup. Ｘ

Since the skin and stuffing ingredients of the meat swallow are all pork, it is also nicknamed "meat wrapped in meat".

Meat swallow is also known as Taiping swallow, Sanshan people celebrate festivals every year, weddings and funerals, relatives and friends gather to say goodbye, must eat "Taiping swallow", that is, take its "Taiping", "peace" auspicious, so "no swallow is not a feast, no swallow is not adult".

Today's New Year together are all authentic Sanshan people, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is naturally indispensable to Taiping Yan.

After Xia Ruofei and Ling Xiaotian heard the sound, they immediately went to wash their hands, and then walked to the dining table.

Lin Qiao had already brought a pot of minced meat and a bag of swallow skin.

Ling Xiaotian was also an expert, and after weighing it, he couldn't help but admire: "This bird's nest skin is of very high quality!"

Lin Qiao said proudly: "This is the best pork hind leg meat that my mother specially bought, and the bird's skin that she rolled out herself! It's much better than the one bought outside!"

The traditional production process of meat bird's nest skin is very complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and most people will not make their own bird's nest skin at home, because there are many large and small meat bird's nest shops in Sanshan, which can be bought at any time.

Ling Kee restaurant also makes its own meat swallow skin, and it also sells it to customers, so Ling Xiaotian is also very proficient in the production of meat swallow skin.

He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "I can't imagine that my in-laws still have this unique skill! There are not many people who know how to make swallow skin now......

When Huzi's mother heard this sentence in the kitchen, she poked her head out with a smile and said, "When I was young, I learned a little from the elders in the family, but in front of an expert like my in-laws, I was a bit of a classmate!"

"Where, where!" Ling Xiaotian said, "This is not worse than what the master master in our shop does!"

"The in-laws are really good at talking!" Huzi's mother said happily, "You need to eat more at that time!"

"It must be!" Ling Xiaotian agreed with a smile.

In the kitchen, Huzi's mother and Ling Qingxue were busy preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, while Xia Ruofei, Ling Xiaotian and Lin Qiao were chatting and wrapping meat swallows in the restaurant, and the atmosphere was happy.

An afternoon passed quickly, and by five o'clock in the evening, the carefully prepared Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was finally almost finished.

Except for the last big dish left for Ling Xiaotian to make, there was only meat swallow left in the pot yet.

The seasoning of the meat swallows is all done in advance, you only need to boil it in the pot, add a little seasoning to eat, and the time is very short, so Ling Xiaotian began to put on an apron and prepared to deal with the last dish himself.

Naturally, Ling Xiaotian was left with steamed anchovies.

He "kicked out" Ling Qingxue and Huzi's mother, who wanted to stay and help, out of the kitchen, and then began to skillfully handle the anchovies.

Steamed Yangtze River anchovy is the specialty of Su Yu, Executive Chef of Ling Kee Restaurant Group.

During this time, the anchovy had already begun to be supplied to Ling Ji's private dishes, and Ling Xiaotian himself was very good at cooking, plus he was close to the water and the building was the first to get the moon, so he was already very proficient in the preparation of this dish.

Soon he processed the fish, put it on a plate with spices, and put it in the steamer.

While waiting, Ling Xiaotian simply began to cook meat swallows.

There is no skill in cooking the bird's nest, just put the bird's nest in water and boil it, and add the appropriate amount of seasoning.

However, even when Ling Xiaotian was chopping green onions, that technique seemed to have a sense of rhythm, which was not a deliberate show off, but a kind of rhythm that the chef had subconsciously integrated.

Xia Ruofei, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Not long after the pot of meat swallows was cooked, the timer sent out a reminder that the steamed anchovies were ready.

Ling Xiaotian personally held the anchovies, and Xia Ruofei came to the restaurant with a pot of meat swallows.

"Eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" Lin Qiao exclaimed happily.

Then Lin Qiao said again: "It seems that there are no firecrackers yet!"

"Firecrackers are not allowed here!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Although there is no ban on fireworks and firecrackers in Sanshan, the control is also relatively strict, and new communities like Daguan Tianxia are definitely not allowed to set off fireworks.

Lin Qiao said with some distress: "If you don't set off firecrackers, it seems that there is a little less atmosphere for the New Year!"

Lin Qiao grew up in a fishing village when she was a child, and when she was a child and grew up for the Chinese New Year, where was there no sound of firecrackers in the village? She often followed her brother to pick up unlit firecrackers and then set them off all over the village.

Xia Ruofei rolled his eyes and said, "I have a way!"

After speaking, he turned on the TV and stereo, the household appliances here are all matched by Xia Ruofei himself, and the TV is matched with a network box. Xia Ruofei quickly searched for the sound of firecrackers in the box, and then turned on the stereo.

A crackling firecracker sound came from the stereo, and the high-end subwoofer made the firecracker sound quite shocking, but it was a little less smoky.

"Is this okay?" Lin Qiao said with a smile, "Reluctantly let it go!

The two families sat around the dining table.

Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao began to pour wine for everyone, Ling Xiaotian and Xia Ruofei drank naturally the Drunken Eight Immortals, and it was not sold in bulk by the distillery, but the kind that Xia Ruofei had stored in the space.

The ladies all chose Semillon without exception, since Xia Ruofei took out this white wine for the first time, they all liked the rich taste, and even Huzi's mother, who usually doesn't drink much, poured a glass.

"Uncle Ling, say a few words?" Xia Ruofei looked at Ling Xiaotian with a smile.

Ling Xiaotian said with a smile: "I'm here to be a guest today!

Huzi's mother waved her hand again and again and said, "I'm not very good at talking, it's better for you to talk about your in-laws!"

Ling Qingxue smiled and said, "If you push back and forth again, don't eat Chinese New Year's Eve food......

"Okay, then I'll say a few words!" Ling Xiaotian raised his wine glass and said, "Today, our two families are together for the New Year, this is fate! Here I also hope that the children can be harmonious, affectionate and loving, and the old people just try to maintain a healthy body and not make trouble for the children! Come, everyone toast together, and wish the coming year will be better!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

After drinking the first glass of wine, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

According to customs, the first dish everyone eats must be Taiping Yan, Huzi's mother also personally served a bowl to everyone, in addition to the meat swallow, there is a boiled duck egg in everyone's bowl, which is called "Taiping Egg" in Sanshan, which also means auspicious.

Every dish of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten, and other dishes can be tasted lightly, but this bowl of Taiping Yan must be eaten.

All of you here are natives of Sanshan, and they don't need others to popularize science for him, so they all pick up bowls.

The swallow skin made by Huzi's mother is very chewy, and the sweet potato powder mixed in is just right, it is soft and smooth in the mouth, and the meat filling is also very flavorful, and the horseshoe is also added, and the fresh and fragrant taste is a little more crispy, everyone is full of praise after eating, and even Ling Xiaotian, a very picky chef, couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Seeing that everyone likes the meat swallows they make so much, Huzi's mother is so happy that she can't close her mouth.

She said with a smile: "In-laws, I still have two catties of swallow skin over there that have not been wrapped, if you like it, you can bring it back, and if you want to eat it, you can wrap it yourself!"

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Mom, Uncle Ling is a special chef, and they sell swallow skin in their store, so why should we give it away?"

Ling Xiaotian immediately said: "Yes, this swallow skin is much better than the master in our shop......!

"It's all a family, don't see it like that!" Huzi's mother said happily.

After eating the Taiping Yan, everyone chooses their favorite dishes according to their tastes.

The steamed anchovy and Buddha jumping over the wall are still the most popular, Lin Qiao ate it with a mouth full of oil, and even Ling Qingxue, who has always paid attention to image, also ate several bites in a row.

Seeing that the dishes he made were welcomed, Ling Xiaotian was also grinning happily, as for the main credit for this dish, it still came from the ingredients provided by Xia Ruofei, which did not affect his sense of achievement at all.

Sanshan side is not like the north, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner generally starts early, after everyone has eaten and drunk enough, the Spring Festival Gala has not yet begun, but is carrying out a parallel warm-up live broadcast.

Huzi's mother, Ling Qingxue, and Lin Qiao began to clean up the mess, while Ling Xiaotian and Xia Ruofei were once again excluded by their female compatriots, and Weng and his son-in-law simply watched TV while making tea in the living room.

Ling Xiaotian's father and daughter did not leave in a hurry after dinner, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and when they go home at this time, the father and daughter are in the cold big villa, it is inevitable that they are a little lonely, it is better to watch the Spring Festival Gala together here.

At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala, which is said to be the world's highest-rated national television station, kicked off.

The two families sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea, eating melon seeds and chatting, while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and the atmosphere was happy.

In fact, the entertainment industry is very developed now, and in order to balance the needs of all aspects, there are a lot of singing and dancing programs at the Spring Festival Gala, and the language programs that everyone likes are constantly deleted and modified in rounds of reviews because of the broadcast scale, and the excitement is also greatly reduced.

However, watching the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year is more of a habit, as if if you don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, this year seems to be missing something.

Lin Qiao was watching TV while swiping Weibo on his mobile phone.

Every year during the Spring Festival Gala, it is also the most active time for jokers, and many programs have just finished broadcasting, and there are already endless jokes of various tones on the Internet.

When he saw an interesting joke, Lin Qiao would also read it out loud, which made everyone laugh and lean back, and felt that the joke was more interesting than the party.

Ling Xiaotian's father and daughter did not finish watching the Spring Festival Gala, and got up at eleven o'clock to say goodbye.

Although Sanshan also has the custom of keeping the New Year, Huzi's mother and Ling Xiaotian are old after all, if it weren't for the New Year, they would have already rested at this point.

Ling Xiaotian considered that he and Ling Qingxue stayed here, and Huzi's mother still had to be accompanied by a strong spirit, and he also felt a little sleepy, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.

When he came, Xia Ruofei drove to pick him up, and naturally Xia Ruofei sent him when he went back.

"Ruofei, why don't you call a substitute driver?" Ling Qingxue said, "You drank a lot of wine at night!"

Although he watched the Spring Festival Gala for several hours, when Xia Ruofei was eating Chinese New Year's Eve, he and Ling Xiaotian almost shared a bottle of white wine equally, and he drank at least about five taels, so Ling Qingxue was also a little worried.

In fact, when Xia Ruofei got up and was about to send them back, he had already silently lucked his true qi and forced out all the remaining alcohol in his body.

He said with a smile: "For the Chinese New Year, where can I find a substitute driver? Don't worry! After such a long time, I have drunk so much tea, and a little bit of wine has long been dispersed!"

In fact, Xia Ruofei has always been extremely sober, and after his cultivation, the amount of alcohol he has drunk seems to have increased a lot, and he can't get drunk at all with one or two catties of liquor, not to mention that he only drank five or six taels tonight.

But just in case, he still forced all the alcohol out of his body, so it was even more fine.

Ling Xiaotian was a little drunk, he said, "It's okay! I know how much alcohol Ruofei has!

Originally, Huzi's mother also wanted to persuade her, but seeing that Ling Xiaotian said so, she couldn't speak, so she could only say to Xia Ruofei: "Ruofei, then you drive slower on the road, and after sending your in-laws and Qingxue to you, come back and rest quickly!"

Xia Ruofei is definitely going to stay here in Daguan World tonight, this house is four bedrooms and two living rooms, and it is made into Lin Qiao's boudoir in the small attic that comes with it, even if Ling Xiaotian's father and daughter both stay overnight, they can live in.

Huzi's mother had already cleaned up the room, in fact, there was a room in this house that had been reserved for Xia Ruofei, and all the sheets, bedding, pillows, etc. were ready-made.

"I know, godmother!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You can also rest early, you don't have to wait for me! Anyway, Qiao'er won't go to sleep for a while, just open the door for me!"

"Good!" said Huzi's mother with a smile.

The mother and daughter sent the three of them out of the door, Xia Ruofei took Ling Xiaotian and Ling Qingxue to the elevator directly to the underground garage, drove out of the Daguan Tianxia Community, and drove towards Ling Xiaotian's riverside villa.

There are not many cars on the street on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is basically at home at this time to watch the Spring Festival Gala with their families, and the roar of Knight XV resounded on the empty streets, all the way unimpeded, and soon approached the villa community on the riverside.

However, after turning a street, the road slowly narrowed, and rows of conical barricades slowly closed the two lanes into one lane.

Xia Ruofei was wondering in his heart, when he saw several policemen wearing reflective vests in front of him waving the electric baton in their hands at him, signaling him to pull over.

"The police are so dedicated?" Xia Ruofei said to himself, "They don't go home to rest during the Chinese New Year?"

Ling Qingxue, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, had a trace of worry on her face: "Could it be a drunk driving investigation?"
