Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The New Year, whether it is modern or ancient, is an extremely special and grand festival in the hearts of the Chinese people.  It is incomparable and irreplaceable to any other festival.

    On this day, no matter it is a rich family or a common people's family.  That¡¯s all we can do. We should more or less prepare some New Year¡¯s goods and have a happy New Year as much as possible.

    Today is already the New Year¡¯s Eve, and almost every household is busy preparing for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.  New Year's Eve dinner, also called reunion dinner, is the most important and indispensable part of the New Year, and it cannot be neglected.

    As a member of modern society, Li Feng is certainly no stranger to the Chinese New Year.  And this New Year's Eve dinner, even more so every year, must be eaten with the family just after returning home. This is a strict task given by the parents at home.

    ¡°This year, for Li Feng, this is a very special New Year.  How can it not be special to travel through time and space and come to the ancient Tang Dynasty to celebrate the New Year?  And this was also his first year in the Tang Dynasty, which was of great significance.  Therefore, Li Feng pays more attention to this Chinese New Year than ever before.

    Today, not long after lunch, Li Feng started to lead Rou Niang, Xiao Hu, and Yaya to get busy.  Making dumplings, killing chickens and ducks, it was a lot of work.

    ¡° Hard work always pays off. It¡¯s not dark yet, and the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, which Li Feng seems to be quite satisfied with, has already begun to overflow with aroma.  Moreover, for the first time, two kilograms of wine were also put on the table.

    Of course, this relative satisfaction is relative to Li Feng.  For Yaya and the others, this New Year's Eve dinner was simply too rich to describe.  Not only was it rich, but it was also very special. It was very different from the New Year's Eve dinners they had seen and heard.

    In previous years¡¯ New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, everything was cooked first, and then everyone sat down to eat.

    And this time, except for the dumplings, most of the other dishes have not been cooked yet.  Just wash all these vegetables, cut them, and put them on plates.  It was placed next to the stove. The charcoal fire in the stove was glowing red, making the pot boil with steam.

    "Brother, how do you eat this hot pot? There is so little in this pot, you will eat it in just a few times."

    With Li Feng¡¯s order, the whole family was already in their places, gathering around the stove to prepare the food.  However, everyone became confused, wondering what Li Feng was up to.

    Especially this little Yaya, holding chopsticks in one hand and a rice bowl in the other, looking at the pot, not knowing what to do.  There is no way, there is really too little in this pot.

    "When Rou Niang and Xiao Hu heard Xiao Yaya's words, they also turned to look at Li Feng. There was no doubt that they couldn't figure out what Li Feng was acting in.

    "Haha, Yaya, don't worry, have you seen the chopped vegetables on this plate? You eat the chicken and meatballs in the pot first. Then, look at the dishes on this plate  Whatever you want to eat, just put it in the pot and cook it. After you finish eating the food in the bowl, it will be cooked again, right?"

    That¡¯s right, what Li Feng is doing is hot pot. This hot pot is familiar to everyone in modern society.  Especially this New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, every household eats it like this.

    There is a reason why you eat it this way.

    This New Year¡¯s Eve dinner is truly a reunion dinner.  What matters is that the food should be warm and lively.  Everyone was chatting while eating. After this meal, the time will not be short.

    But, in this winter, the temperature is low.  If it had been cooked as usual and brought to the table on a plate, this dish would have been too cold to eat.  However, if this dish is kept cooking in the pot, there is no doubt that the dish will be overcooked.  Therefore, this way of eating hot pot just makes up for these shortcomings.

    ??????????????????????????????? Eating in this way is not wasted, and as much as you eat is boiled, and if you cannot finish it, you can save it for the next meal.  In addition, you can make whatever you want to eat based on your personal tastes and hobbies.  According to the truth, it can be counted in one fell swoop, and there are many benefits.

    Before wasting time, I often lamented that the person who invented hot pot was definitely a genius.  Hot pot is undoubtedly a great innovation in food.

    "Ah you can boil whatever you want to eat? Haha, great, big brother is great. I thought the dishes on these plates were just for looking at. Hmm Bamboo shoots, I  I like to eat mushrooms, I like them too, and thisand that"

    When little Yaya heard this, she immediately smiled. The chopsticks in her little hands immediately and unceremoniously reached out to the dishes she wanted to eat, and then they all moved in front of her.Put it in the pot.

    "Okay, Yaya, don't put so much, otherwise, it will be cooked to pieces later. There are so many dishes, and you're afraid it won't be enough for you, a greedy little cat."

    "Well, Brother Li, you are so smart. How did you come up with this way of eating? It's great the food won't get cold, and most importantly, it won't be wasted. Otherwise, at home,  We have prepared so many dishes that we can¡¯t finish them. What a waste. Now that we can¡¯t finish them, we can save them for two or three days in this cold weather.  bad¡­¡­"

    ¡°Obviously, Rou Niang also came back to her senses at this moment.  As the saying goes, "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't become a householder." In the same way, Rou Niang, who has taken charge of the household over the years, immediately discovered the benefits of this hot pot.

    "Haha Let's all start eating, Xiaohu, come on, pour the wine, let's have two drinks"

    Li Feng, who was a little embarrassed by Rou Niang's praise, quickly greeted everyone to start eating.  I thought to myself, I didn¡¯t invent this thing, we just stole it.

    At this moment, Li Feng remembered that there was still wine, and quickly asked Xiaohu to pour the wine.  To be honest, he really didn't know what this Tang Dynasty wine tasted like, so he wanted to try it.

    In the past, when Li Feng had nothing to do, he would occasionally drink some wine by himself.  Although his drinking capacity is not high, he can still be considered a small drinker.

    However, there is one thing that he still knows, that is, the alcohol content of wine in this era is very low.  The brewing process at this time did not go through the distillation process at all.  To put it bluntly, the grain is cooked, fermented, and filtered directly, and the result is wine.

    "Okay, Brother Feng, I'll pour it for you, haha, I haven't had it for a long time"

    Obviously, this little tiger was more impatient than Li Feng. As soon as he heard Li Feng's words, he immediately poured a big bowl for Li Feng and himself.  Then he ignored Li Feng and took a big bite from the bowl.  Then, he looked like he was enjoying himself.

    Seeing the happy expression on Xiaohu's face, Li Feng immediately picked up the bowl and took a sip.  However, Li Feng's face soon became very strange, and he looked a little dazed.

    "Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Is this wine too strong? Forget it, Brother Li, if it doesn't taste good, don't drink it. Pour the wine to Xiaohu."

    Rou Niang, who had been paying close attention to Li Feng, also noticed Li Feng's strange expression.  She immediately thought that Li Feng might not have drank alcohol before, but he drank suddenly and was not used to it.

    "Ah It's okay, Rou Niang, it's just that I haven't drank for a while, and I suddenly drank, and the taste is a bit weird. Okay, come on, Xiaohu, I'll give it to you."

    When Li Feng heard this, he immediately came to his senses, but he didn¡¯t show any pretense and just gave the wine in the bowl to Xiaohu.  He still really couldn't drink this wine. Even the sip he took just now almost made him spit it out.

    "This wine is really terrible to drink"

    Looking at Xiaohu, who still looked like he was enjoying himself very much, Li Feng began to wonder.  It's really rare for this kid to drink this so-called wine with such gusto.

    ¡°It¡¯s not like Li Feng¡¯s mouth is so tricky that he can¡¯t swallow anything but good wine.  On the contrary, he is not picky about wine at all. In the past, he often drank ordinary wine that cost more than ten yuan a bottle.

    "Similarly, it's not because the wine is very strong as Rou Niang suspected.  On the contrary, it's because the wine is too weak. Not only that, the wine tastes weird.

    Well, let¡¯s put it this way, it¡¯s like you buy a pound of wine, and then you pour one or two pounds of water directly into it, and then drink it to see what it tastes like. That¡¯s how Li Feng felt just now.

    In short, the wine is not wine, and the water does not taste like water. Li Feng really can't stand it.

    "Haha This way, isn't it better? This is an unexpected way to make money."

    However, soon, Li Feng thought of something again.  The depression I felt just now quickly disappeared, and instead my heart was filled with joy.

    In a warm and cheerful atmosphere, everyone was satisfied and enjoyed this New Year's Eve dinner.  The richness and deliciousness are one of the reasons, but more importantly, everyone's hearts are filled with heartfelt comfort.
