“My second-year high school kid cooked the New Year’s Eve dinner, from setting the menu to creativity to steaming and stir-frying, everything was done in one go. I wish everyone a happy New Year!”

Yesterday, an Orange friend posted a message in Orange Friends Circle "Fireworks China" showed off a special New Year's Eve dinner. A large table full of 20 dishes, almost all made by my 17-year-old son!

New Year's Eve dinner

The boy who hosted the whole family's New Year's Eve dinner is called Guo Zhengdong. His hometown is Ginkgo Village, Fuyang, and he is a student at the Kangqiao Campus of Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School.

In the photo, Guo Zhengdong is wearing a familiar national bib. He is flipping spoons and arranging dishes. He looks professional and looks like a veteran. Some Cheng friends commented: This must be a talented student from the chef school!

Guo Zhengdong

Regarding this New Year’s Eve dinner, Guo Zhengdong said that he checked some cooking videos and collected recipes the day before, and he probably had a New Year’s Eve dinner menu in mind. Yesterday morning, while my aunt and mother went to town to purchase ingredients, I and my grandparents started tinkering. I am responsible for steaming the yams and pounding them into puree; my grandfather is responsible for killing turtles and chickens, and my grandmother is busy making red dates cakes. The family was busy inside and outside.

Guo Zhengdong makes New Year’s Eve dinner

This is a table full of dishes. At first glance, many of them are hard to name. Guo Zhengdong said that some of them were learned from recipes, some were his own creative dishes, and some were improvised on the spot when an idea came to him yesterday.

For example, in the blueberry yam oven, Guo Zhengdong specially prepared blueberry juice with honey, blueberry jam, etc., and then poured it on top of the yam cake. It tasted particularly delicious and became the most popular dish at the New Year's Eve dinner.

There is also a yam cake. After making blueberry yam, there was an extra portion of yam puree. I had an idea of ????yam cake, and creatively filled it with cucumbers, strawberries and other fruits. Coated with sesame powder. I didn't expect it to taste very good.

My mother, Ms. Yang, was not surprised at all about this New Year’s Eve dinner. She said that this was not the first year that her son had hosted a New Year’s Eve dinner.

When he was in the third grade of elementary school, Guo Zhengdong once stood in front of the stove and watched her cooking. He found it very interesting, so he asked him if he wanted to try it. The little Guo Zhengdong took the spatula from his mother's hand. . It was also from that time that I gradually fell in love with cooking.

Guo Zhengdong has been busy participating in the New Year's Eve dinner in recent years. He was only responsible for a few dishes in the past few years, but this year he became the main creative staff.

Not only does he cook, but when other children go home and are busy doing homework and attending interest classes, this diligent boy usually takes over the daily housework at home. When I return to Fuyang Village during holidays, it is common for me to go to the fields to help my grandparents with farm work.

"Why do you have so much time to cook and do housework?" When I couldn't help but ask this question, Guo Zhengdong's answer was: Because I don't go to interest classes!

Ms. Yang said that because she did not attend interest classes since she was a child, she spent a lot of time on the things she was most interested in. In addition to cooking, Guo Zhengdong likes sports, writing, painting, seal cutting, and is also keen on doing charity work. , participate in social practice.

Just three days ago, as a volunteer, Guo Zhengdong spent a whole day following the volunteers from the Dongge Dongjie Volunteer Team in Hangzhou to wash the car at the "Wanwan Car Wash" and go to the East Station to wash the car. vigilante.

Many people in Hangzhou know that the employees of "Wanwan Car Wash" graduated from special education schools. Because manpower was tight at the end of the year, cars came in one after another after arriving at work. Guo Zhengdong hardly stopped all morning.

After washing the car, I and other volunteers gave warm scarves to the employees of "Wanwan Car Wash", which also contained postcards carefully typed and made by Guo Zhengdong using his own paintings.

"Although there was a boy who didn't speak, he kept smiling at me after taking the postcard. He was very warm." Guo Zhengdong said.

After doing this, he rushed to the East Railway Station non-stop to work as a vigilante. His main job was to help passengers buy tickets and carry luggage. He left home at 9 a.m. and returned home at 6 p.m.

How do you raise such a sensible child?

Ms. Yang said that regardless of academic performance, being a human being comes first. Therefore, I would take him out to do charity work, participate in practical activities, and participate in young reporter activities since he was a child. He is an old member of the "Lion Who Loves Writing" of Express News.

"Every activity is not for him to complete the task. The preparation before the activity, the process of the activity, and the thoughts after the activity are all must-do."

Last year during the Spring Festival, Guo Zhengdong followed A dad who works in the construction industry moves bricks on the construction site. He really moves bricks! I came home covered in ashes.

“Fully respect his ideas and let him do everything. What parents have to do is teach him the correct way to use it, because it is more important to cultivate habits.”

Chengyou posted New Year’s Eve dinners from various places

@林月如: My husband’s hometown is in Xuzhou, Jiangsu. They always eat New Year’s Eve dinner at noon. The meal at noon is relatively sumptuous. They eat well and drink well. They take a nap in the afternoon and start eating dumplings for dinner. , after eating the dumplings, we waited to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Dinners here in the south are generally more sumptuous, so there are still differences in customs between the north and the south. Every year at the Spring Festival Gala, the host asks, have you eaten dumplings tonight? Southerners want us to have a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner, so why should we eat dumplings? Southerners can’t understand it!

Chengyou @江江江好 is a native of Hangzhou. Her family lives near Yangba Tou, where internet celebrities check in. Every year, the two New Year’s Eve dinners on the 29th and New Year’s Eve are placed in her Wangjiang Road restaurant. Eat at my uncle's house. The family rule established in 1988, when my grandfather passed away, remains unbreakable every year. @江江好's mother has three brothers and sisters, two sisters and one brother. When my father left, he told me that you brothers and sisters should not be separated.

A family’s New Year’s Eve dinner can show the Chinese people’s understanding of family ties and blood ties. The New Year’s Eve dinner is an umbilical cord for the Chinese people.

@江江好: The first bite you eat during the Chinese New Year must be spring rolls!

The family prepared a table full of New Year fireworks, and the dogs were even greedy!

Chengyou@伟尼’s hometown is Jiangsu, and his New Year’s Eve dinner truly reveals the exquisiteness of Huaiyang cuisine, and from cold cuts to main meals to snacks, everything is meaningful and exquisite: the meaning of gold medal honey lotus root Sweet and sweet, the salted duck means the New Year, the Nanjing assorted vegetables mean perfection, the stewed lion head means good luck, glutinous rice and braised pork means wealth, and the No. 1 champion spring roll means the gold list.

@T-OK: There is no bustle of dinner parties, only the warmth of a small home. 2023 is still full of warmth and love.

My mother’s eight-treasure dishes, spring rolls, and eight-treasure rice are indispensable on the dining table every year. My favorite is spring rolls. From making fillings, to wrapping into rolls, to frying and taking them out, squeeze a little tomato sauce, and when you bite into them, you will be filled with the aroma of meat, pickled vegetables and winter bamboo shoots. It is super satisfying. In addition, there are fried eel, black bone chicken soup, braised beef slices, white-cut chicken, stir-fried shredded pork with leek sprouts, and a pot of hotpot-like stew

2023 All your wishes come true, everything goes well, happiness and peace !

@27149: I’m having New Year’s Eve dinner at my second uncle’s house this year because there’s a “new person” in the big family.

Over the years, due to various reasons, the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner has been slightly lacking. This is the first time that so many people can get together on New Year's Eve.

The chef is still the second uncle. After watching the video on a certain platform, he can cook it, and his understanding is extremely high!

@ It looks so beautiful when you smile: The New Year’s Eve dinner was perfect, and the reunion was complete!

My father-in-law and husband, who rarely drink, drink some rice wine. The other three of us drank coconut water and raised our glasses to celebrate the new year. At this time, the sound of firecrackers all around was extremely lively, and the whole country in China was celebrating together.

Sweet and sweet, the salted duck means the New Year, the Nanjing assorted vegetables mean perfection, the stewed lion head means good luck, glutinous rice braised with pork means wealth, the top spring roll means the title on the gold list, yes, this is China People’s traditional New Year flavor.
