What was the most unforgettable New Year’s Eve dinner when you were a child?

Usually there is no fat or water in the stomach, but it is most uncomfortable to suddenly have diarrhea after eating meat. This is the memory of having New Year’s Eve dinner when I was young. I'm fine now. I don't have diarrhea even if I eat meat every day. [呲呲][呲呲][呲呲]

The most unforgettable New Year’s Eve dinner was every New Year’s Eve dinner before 1979. Farmers were hungry every day and looked forward to having a full meal during the New Year! That smell makes my mouth water. Nowadays, some people say that the New Year is not the same as the New Year. In fact, there is no difference between eating and drinking every day during the New Year and ordinary life. When you are full, don’t forget Deng Xiaoping; when you live a well-off life, don’t forget all the national leaders after Deng Xiaoping.

In the 1970s, people's lives were getting better year by year. Although firewood, rice, oil, salt, non-staple food, cloth, etc. were still provided by ticket, people's faces began to become rosy and they often smiled. . Our hometown is called the land of plenty, and river delicacies are never provided with tickets. Naturally, river delicacies are a major feature of our daily meals. Especially the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The annual New Year’s Eve dinner is what our children look forward to most every year. The family has a large population and few earners, so even cheap fish and shrimp are not available every day. Therefore, the lunar year was spent enthusiastically and satisfactorily.

Just like when the North enters the twelfth lunar month and pickles Laba garlic, the south enters the twelfth lunar month and kills the New Year pigs, divides the big fish (those with an employer will receive benefits every year), and begins to pickle preserved fish and meat. The taste of the New Year rises in every household, frying Yin rice, grinding glutinous rice paste (tangyuan powder, Shen, the pronunciation is "Reng"), frying small fish, making glutinous rice cakes, rolling candies, cutting rice crackers, and brewing rice wine. Then buy back the snacks such as halva, snow dates and peanuts that are provided by ticket. Watermelon seeds are free of charge.

The dishes in our hometown are mainly stewed and steamed, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is very rich. The stews include Tou Zi Cai (the main dish, including fish cakes, fish balls, yellow flower fungus, shredded bamboo shoots, stewed in lard), lotus root soup (short ribs and lotus root), white radish soup (white radish stewed with fat intestines, clear soup), Turtle soup (very expensive now, but at that time even children didn’t like to eat it), hen soup (family likes to put gastrodia elata and wolfberry in it); steamed vegetables include shredded radish, taro, etc. Seasonal vegetables can be wrapped in rice noodles and steamed. Steamed pearl meatballs, steamed cured fish, steamed bacon, steamed rice flour, steamed pork, steamed Wuchang fish; stir-fry a few side dishes, such as bacon, red cabbage and moss, water chestnut tofu, Chinese cabbage, river shrimp, leeks, etc.

Usually, adults have a meal until midnight to welcome the new year. Children can't stand it any longer, so they put on their clothes and go to sleep. When it's almost 12 o'clock, the adults wake up the children and tell them it's time to eat rice wine glutinous rice balls. Boil the small glutinous rice balls in the rice wine, add egg drops, and give each person a bowl, which not only sobers up the wine but also catches up with the meal. Take a nap.

Children are called at this time, and none of them have to sleep, because after drinking the rice wine soup, it means that they can pay New Year greetings to their elders. If they kowtow to each other, each person will get 50 cents as a new year's money. You can buy 500 firecrackers for only 30 cents, and you can play with them until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The girls bought colorful rubber bands, which looked very nice.

Later, when we grew up and came to big cities, we could no longer have New Year’s Eve dinner like that. Every year I celebrate the New Year, I think about it every year, and the patterns and routines of the New Year’s Eve dinner are unforgettable.

A New Year’s Eve dinner that I remember particularly deeply happened in 1960 during the three-year period of natural disasters.

In this year, every family has no overnight food, and our family is no exception, but we have to survive this year. There were only four people attending this New Year’s Eve dinner—one was my great-grandmother who was in her eighties, one was my uncle who had just turned 13, my brother who was only 8 years old at the time, and me who was only 6 years old. The only things we ate were a piece of glutinous rice cake (given to us by the production team for the group year, which we cut into strips and baked to eat), a pot of broken rice and wild vegetable porridge, and a few large peas (this was My uncle secretly begged it from a kind-hearted chef at a water conservancy construction site. After work, he walked more than ten miles before arriving home).

Why are there so few people in our family eating this New Year’s Eve dinner? Because our grandparents are no longer alive, and our parents have changed their minds in other places for other reasons known to everyone and cannot come back to reunite with us.

This reunion dinner was indeed a bit bitter, a bit sad, and a bit unforgettable!

When I was a child, the most unforgettable thing was the New Year’s Eve night. Every morning at five or six o’clock, I would be awakened by the busyness of the adults. At this time, I would always get out of bed with difficulty. It was very lively. My second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, grandparents, aunts, and a large group of friends would all come to my house. Some were washing vegetables, some were killing chickens, and some were killing fish. Mom was lighting a fire in the kitchen. Wash the pots and wait for them to bring all the washed vegetables to the kitchen. There are fireworks and earthen stoves, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Mom and aunts were all busy, dad and uncles were playing cards, laughing, eating candies and biscuits and fruits, while we were standing aside, laughing and joking. At that time, the canteen had started to open, and we took the advance With the New Year's money I received, I went to the canteen and bought a rotating cannon, a flash cannon, and small fireworks. I set them off at the door outside the house. Taking advantage of the annual New Year greeting ceremony, I put fish, meat, and wine on the God's table, and then There are all kinds of worship. Before the worship, incense and wax are burned. The men gather in a row to worship together. Then the firecrackers go off, and our small cannons are lit along with the big cannons and circle around them. Not to mention how happy it is, it is very lively. , I can never go back to this, it’s so unforgettable

Wash your own haggis. After slaughtering the sheep on New Year's Eve, grandpa set up a stove in the yard, burned the sheep's heads and hooves with a red iron, and washed the sheep's intestines and tripes. After a lot of work, the water in the big iron pot in the kitchen has already boiled, waiting for the water to be boiled. Grandma's cooking skills are always praised by the women in the village. There are seven or eight hot dishes on the thirty-year-old dinner table, and only the haggis served in a big basin in the middle is the most popular. Sheep tripe intestines, sheep blood tofu, sauerkraut fished out from a large vat, mixed with sheep head meat, red chili oil floating in the middle, no greasiness at all in the soup, and green garlic sprouts garnished on top. It's a pity that you can only eat it once a year, not because the meat is expensive, but because cleaning and packing the haggis is really a laborious task. Moreover, it is only during the New Year, when the old people watch their children and grandchildren around their knees, that they are most motivated to get busy. . When the old people are gone, the tradition is lost. Rather than saying that I miss the New Year’s Eve haggis, it’s better to say that I miss my relatives.

What was the most unforgettable New Year’s Eve dinner as a child? Thanks for the question my friend! Gave me a chance to answer! Below is my answer!

First, I was born in 1961. Today I live by the Jinsha River. My hometown is on the plain land. There is groundwater for agricultural irrigation. From about 1964 to 1965, all the production teams were working The machine shaft! When eating, whether it is a New Year's Eve dinner or an ordinary meal, there must be food. Otherwise, it will be difficult for a clever wife to cook without rice! Food depends on agricultural production, and agricultural production depends on water conservancy and irrigation. Because the geographical location of my village and the good water conservancy conditions, I don’t feel hungry! So, from when I was growing up to the time of reform and opening up, all New Year’s Eve dinners were the same, and there was no one that was the most unforgettable! We also have to admit that there was no open capital in those days, and it was more difficult in areas with poor natural conditions, especially in mountainous areas that depended on the weather. There was no water source and they could only rely on the help of rain!

Second, I just want to say this: before the reform and opening up, no matter how poor you were, you were still much better than the old China! There must be no banditry and exploitation! Before liberation, bandits were very powerful in robbery. When I was a child, I often heard adults tell dark stories about the old society! This country's political power was obtained with the blood of countless martyrs! We must seek truth from facts when speaking, and we must be worthy of the martyrs! That’s all I’ll answer! Thanks!

The most unforgettable New Year’s Eve dinner when we were kids was of course dumplings!

Materials were scarce in that era, and adults ate cornmeal pancakes, steamed buns, large rice balls, small rice balls, sorghum, cabbage, potatoes, and radishes. Unlike now, there are so many things to eat! White flour rice is even more scarce, which means people in farms and forestry farms can eat more, let alone meat! It is difficult for us rural people to eat all year round. So if you can eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, it’s really a great Chinese New Year!

During the Chinese New Year, adults will ruthlessly cut two kilograms of meat, chop it with cabbage, make stuffing with cabbage and pork, mix it with noodles, and wait to make dumplings.

When making dumplings, both adults and children joined in, chatting and laughing, and then we finished making dumplings. We, the children, began to prepare the forks for eating dumplings. This is our homemade artifact for eating dumplings: use a piece of Remove the skin from the sorghum stalks as long as chopsticks, wash them clean, use a kitchen knife to cut off half an inch diagonally from one end of the sorghum stalks to the middle, then remove the flesh from the remaining areas, and then check to see if there are any thorns. Get rid of it if you have it. Don't prick your mouth when eating dumplings.

When the water for cooking the dumplings boiled, the adults lifted up the curtain and placed the dumplings while saying: A group of geese are coming from the south, and they will go down to the river with a splash! The dumplings were not yet cooked, so we gathered around the pot to watch. When they were done, we should not be in a hurry. The adults had to hold a few dumplings on a sieve. They pushed open the door to the yard and wandered around the sieve, chanting: "Young and old, I can't help you." Yes, everyone is here to eat dumplings!

After that, we can gather around the table, each holding his own plate of dumplings, pricking the round dumplings with a fork, taking a firm bite, chewing them, and enjoying them. Happy, sweet...

On the afternoon of the 30th of the Spring Festival in 1962, my brother and I went to Sun Yat-sen University to pick up pine leaves. When we passed by the ditch, we heard the scream of a cat. When we ran over to take a look, we found that A water snake bit a cat's hind leg. My brother and I grabbed a bamboo pole and rushed over. The snake didn't let go when it saw us. My brother and I discussed that neither the cat nor the snake should be spared. I would be responsible for hitting the cat's head. My brother was responsible for hitting the snake on the head. I rushed over and hit the cat on the head with a bamboo pole. The cat died on the spot. However, the snake was hit several times by my brother and still ran away. I rushed over and hit the cat with a bamboo pole. Hit the snake on the head and the snake will never move again. The snake weighed more than 5 pounds. My brother and I quickly carried the snake and cat home. My father was killing chickens at home. He was very happy to see us carrying the cat and snake back. He immediately called the neighbor’s uncle over and made a pot of dragon and tiger. Feng, his son also bought 3 pounds of Wujiapi wine. Maybe it was because he hadn’t eaten meat for more than half a year. I felt that the meat that night was particularly delicious!

The most unforgettable New Year's Eve dinner when I was a child was eating "little dumplings".

When I was a child, my family was not wealthy. Usually, the dumplings made are large vegetable dumplings, but the dumplings made for New Year's Eve dinner are petite dumplings filled with meat. My brother and I didn't understand the stuffing issue when we were young. We only felt that the "little dumplings" made during the Chinese New Year were delicious [face covering].

Whenever we come home now, our siblings joke that we want to eat "little dumplings." [Shy]

The unforgettable "little dumpling" era is gone forever. On the contrary, as we grow older, we also like healthy "big dumplings"!
