To eat New Year's Eve, you must have a plate of fresh fish, but no one is allowed to eat this plate of fresh fish (which means that there is more than one year). You can only eat this plate of fish with chopsticks after the third day of the New Year's Eve, and everyone must take a bite. Don't talk when eating New Year's Eve (which means burying your head in a big fortune). Be sure to leave some rice in the bowl when eating New Year's Eve.

On the 3th, 1st, 2nd and 3rd day of the Lunar New Year, it is not allowed to cook again for four days, which is also a local custom in Shouxian. Therefore, every family on New Year's Eve cooks a lot, and some family pots cook as many meals as they can.

The New Year's Eve dinner is also very special. After everyone eats the New Year's Eve dinner, the oldest person takes out the remaining rice, and then slowly cooks the crispy rice on the stove. After about half an hour, a whole pot-shaped crispy rice is freshly baked. At this time, the old man piously put it on the rice shed with both hands (no one is allowed to eat it), which means a bumper harvest in the coming year.
