Chapter 854 New Year's Eve

Pork swallow is a special delicacy of Sanshan. The lean pork leg meat is made into puree, mixed with sweet potato flour, rolled into paper-thin pieces, cut into three-inch cubes, wrapped with meat filling, made into flat food, and cooked. Serve with soup.

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

Rouyan, also known as Taipingyan, Sanshan people must eat "Taipingyan" during festivals, weddings and funerals, and when relatives and friends gather. underage".

The people who celebrate the New Year together today are all authentic Sanshan people, and Taipingyan is naturally indispensable for the New Year's Eve dinner.

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

Lin Qiao had already brought a pot of minced minced meat and a packet of yanpi.

Ling Xiaotian is also a connoisseur. After weighing it up, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The quality of this yanpi is very high!"

Lin Qiao said proudly: "This is the pork ham that my mother bought and rolled herself! It's much better than the one bought from outside!"

The traditional production process of meat swallow skin is very complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Most people do not make their own swallow skin at home, because there are many meat swallow stores in Sanshan, large and small, and they can be bought at any time. Better, for example, a century-old store like Tongli Rouyan, which makes its own can be said to be very few.

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

Hearing this, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "I didn't expect my in-laws to have this unique skill! There are not many people who know how to make yanpi..."

Hu Zi's mother heard these words in the kitchen, and she stuck out her head with a smile and said, "I learned a little from the elders in my family when I was young, but in front of experts like my in-laws, it's a bit tricky!"

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

"My in-laws really know how to talk!" Huzi's mother said happily, "In that moment, in-laws, you should eat more!"

"Definitely!" Ling Xiaotian replied with a smile.

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

An afternoon passed quickly,

By 5 o'clock in the evening, the carefully prepared New Year's Eve dinner was almost finished.

Except for the last big dish, which was left to Ling Xiaotian to cook, there was only Rouyan left.

The seasoning of the meat swallows is done in advance. It only needs to be boiled and eaten with a little seasoning. The time-consuming is also very short, so Ling Xiaotian began to put on an apron and prepared to handle the last dish himself.

What was left to Ling Xiaotian was the steamed shad.

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

Steamed Yangtze shad is the specialty of Lingji Catering Group Executive Chef Su Yu.

During this time, the shad has already started to be served to Ling Ji's private kitchen. Ling Xiaotian himself is very good at cooking. In addition to the fact that he is close to the water, he is very skilled at cooking this dish.

Soon he finished the fish, added the seasoning to a plate, and put it in the steamer.

During the waiting time, Ling Xiaotian simply started to cook Rouyan.

There are no tricks to cooking pork swallows, just put the pork swallows in water and boil, and add the right amount of seasonings at the same time.

However, even when Ling Xiaotian was slicing green onions, his technique seemed to have a sense of rhythm. This was not a deliberate dazzle, but a subconscious rhythm that a chef had incorporated.

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

Not long after the one-pot pork swallow was cooked, the timer alerted—the steamed anchovies were ready.

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

"Have a New Year's Eve dinner!" Lin Qiao shouted happily.

Then Lin Qiao said again, "It seems that firecrackers haven't been set off yet!"

"No firecrackers are allowed here!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Although there is no city-wide ban on fireworks and firecrackers in Sanshan, the control is also relatively strict. New communities like Daguantianxia are definitely not allowed to set off.

Lin Qiao said with some distress: "It seems that the atmosphere of the New Year is a little less if you don't set off firecrackers!"

Lin Qiao grew up in a fishing village when she was a child. During the New Year's Eve, where was the sound of firecrackers in the village? She also often followed her brother to pick up firecrackers that were not lit, and set them all over the village.

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

After finishing speaking, he turned on the TV and stereo. The home appliances here were all provided by Xia Ruofei himself, and the TV was equipped with a network box. Xia Ruofei quickly found the sound of firecrackers in the box, and then turned on the sound.

A burst of crackling sound of firecrackers came out from the stereo. The high-end subwoofer made the sound of firecrackers quite shocking, but the smell of gun smoke was less.

"Is that okay?" Lin Qiao said with a smile, "Just let it go! Eat and eat!"

The two families sat together at the dining table.

Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao began to pour wine for everyone. Ling Xiaotian and Xia Ruofei were naturally drunk with the Eight Immortals, and they were not sold in batches by the winery, but the kind that Xia Ruofei stored in the space.

The ladies chose Semillon without exception. Since Xia Ruofei took out this white wine for the first time, they all fell in love with the rich taste. Even Huzi's mother, who usually doesn't drink much, poured a glass of it. .

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

Ling Xiaotian smiled and said, "I'm here to be a guest today! It's up to my in-laws to say it!"

Hu Zi's mother waved her hands again and again and said, "I'm not very good at speaking, so it's better for you to talk to your in-laws!"

Ling Qingxue chuckled and said, "If you push around again, don't eat the New Year's Eve dinner..."

"Okay, then let me say a few words!" Ling Xiaotian said, holding up the wine glass, "Today our family celebrates the New Year together, this is fate! Here, I also hope that the children can be harmonious and loving, and the old people just try their best to Keep a healthy body and don't cause trouble for the children! Come, let's toast together, and wish the coming year will be better!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

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

According to the custom, the first dish everyone eats must be Tai Ping Yan, and Hu Zi’s mother also served a bowl for everyone. Except for the meat swallow, everyone’s bowl also has a boiled duck egg, which is called in Sanshan. "Peace Egg" also means auspiciousness.

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

The people present here are all born and raised from Sanshan, and they don't need others to popularize these things for him, so they all brought bowls.

The swallow skin made by Huzi's mother is very tender, and the sweet potato powder mixed in is just right. It is soft and fragrant in the mouth, and the meat filling is also very tasty. It was a bit crunchy, and everyone was full of praise after eating it, even Ling Xiaotian, the discerning chef, couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.

Seeing that everyone likes the meat swallows made by themselves so much, Huzi's mother is so happy that she can't even close her mouth.

She smiled and said: "My dear, I still have two kilograms of yanpi that I haven't finished wrapping, take it back if you like it, and wrap a little if you want to eat it!"

Lin Qiao said with a smile: "Mom! Uncle Ling is a super chef, and they sell yanpi in their store, why should we send them?"

Ling Xiaotian immediately said: "I want it! This yanpi is much better than the chef in our shop! My family, then I'm welcome! Haha, I'm embarrassed to eat and take..."

"It's all a family, you mustn't be like this!" Huzi's mother said happily.

After eating Tai Ping Yan, everyone can choose their favorite dishes according to their own tastes.

The steamed shad and Buddha jumps over the wall are still the most popular. Lin Qiao's mouth is full of oil, and even Ling Qingxue, who always pays attention to image, also ate several mouthfuls in a row.

Seeing that the dish he made was popular, Ling Xiaotian also grinned with joy. As for the main credit for this dish, it was the ingredients provided by Xia Ruofei, which did not affect his sense of accomplishment at all.

Sanshan is not like the north. The New Year's Eve usually starts early. After everyone has eaten and drank enough, the Spring Festival Gala has not yet started, and is just preheating live broadcasts in parallel.

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

Ling Xiaotian's father and daughter were not in a hurry to leave after dinner. After all, it was New Year's Eve. When they got home, the father and daughter were in the cold big villa. It was inevitable that they would be a little lonely.

At 8 o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala, said to be the most watched national TV station in the world, kicked off.

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

In fact, the entertainment industry is very developed now. In order to balance the needs of all aspects of the Spring Festival Gala, there are also a bit too many song and dance programs. Because of the broadcast scale, the language programs that everyone likes are constantly deleted and revised in rounds of review, and the brilliance is greatly reduced.

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

Lin Qiao was watching TV and swiping Weibo on her mobile phone.

The annual Spring Festival Gala is also the time when the jokers are most active. Many programs have just finished airing, and various jokes of various kinds have emerged one after another on the Internet.

Seeing interesting jokes, Lin Qiao would also read them out loud, making everyone laugh and laugh, feeling that the jokes were more interesting than the party.

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

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

Ling Xiaotian thought that he and Ling Qingxue would stay here, Huzi's mother had to fight hard to accompany him, and he felt a little sleepy, so he took the initiative to bid farewell.

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

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

Although I watched the Spring Festival Gala for several hours, Xia Ruofei and Ling Xiaotian almost shared a bottle of white wine at the New Year's Eve dinner. He drank at least five or two, 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 lost all the alcohol left in his body.

He smiled and said, "It's a big New Year's Eve, where can I find a driver? Don't worry! After so long, I drank so much tea, and a little bit of wine has long since dispersed!"

In fact, Xia Ruofei has always been sober all the time. He seems to have a lot of alcohol after practicing. One or two catties of liquor are not drunk at all, not to mention that he only drank five or six taels tonight.

However, just in case, he still forced the alcohol out of the body, so that it would be even more alright.

Ling Xiaotian was a little drunk, he said, "It's alright! I know Ruo Fei's alcohol limit! Just let him drive!"

Originally, Huzi's mother wanted to persuade her, but seeing Ling Xiaotian said so, she couldn't speak, so she could only say to Xia Ruofei: "If Fei, then drive slowly on the road, and send your in-laws and Qingxue. When you arrive, come back and rest as soon as possible!"

Xia Ruofei is definitely going to stay in Daguantianxia tonight. This house has four bedrooms and two living rooms. With the attached small attic, it makes Lin Qiao's boudoir. I can afford it.

Huzi's mother had already cleaned up the room. In fact, there is a room in this house that has been reserved for Xia Ruofei. All the sheets, bedding, pillows and the like are ready-made.

"I see, godmother!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "you also rest early, don't wait for me! Anyway, Qiaoer won't go to sleep for a while, she just opens the door for me!"

"Okay!" Hu Zi's mother said with a smile.

The mother and daughter sent the three out of the door. Xia Ruofei took Ling Xiaotian and Ling Qingxue directly to the underground garage by elevator, drove out of Daguantianxia Community, and drove towards Ling Xiaotian's Jiangbin Villa.

There are not many cars on the streets on New Year's Eve. At this time, everyone is basically watching the Spring Festival Gala with their families at home. The explosive roar of the 15th Cavaliers rang in the empty streets. The villa community on the beach.

But after turning a street, the road slowly narrowed—rows of tapered barricades slowly closed the two lanes into one.

Xia Ruofei was wondering in his heart when he saw several policemen in reflective vests in front of him waved the electric light baton at him and motioned him to pull over to stop.

"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 hint of worry on her face: "Could it be a drunk driving check?"
