Chapter 218 Lively New Year's Eve Dinner
The Spring Festival, especially the Spring Festival in the north, is both familiar and strange to Liu Yang.

To say it is familiar is because I have watched the Spring Festival Gala for decades and it is not familiar!

But to say it is strange is very strange. After all, he has lived in the south in his past and present lives.

Although he also likes to eat pasta, he still can't stand eating dumplings three times a day.

It’s not that the dumplings are not delicious. For these pure northern dumplings, he made the dumplings himself. That is really his love, but even if he eats it every day, people will not be able to stand it!
So when Liu Yang returned to Peiping with his family, he directly took over this year's New Year's Eve dinner, saying that he also wanted to have a meal of white rice tonight. As for dumplings, it was okay but not just dumplings.

And today's meal was for a whole family, so they all came to Liu Yang's courtyard house. There were more than [-] people of all sizes, so just preparing the ingredients was a big deal.

Fortunately, there are many people helping!And for this Chinese New Year, Liu Yang spent a lot of money. Long before, he asked Ouyang Long to prepare a lot of fresh vegetables, and they were all flown in yesterday. Then Liu Yang asked Cheng Xin, his cheap brother-in-law, to help. Those acquaintances sent them one by one one after another.

However, compared to the ones given away, theirs is naturally much richer. Not to mention the common green leafy vegetables, there are also other vegetables such as yam, lotus root, mushrooms, taro and so on.

Now that we have vegetables, we must also have meat. Not to mention pork, we just put a whole pig in the house, and then there are beef and mutton, all kinds of seafood, and a lot of river fresh food!
Although some river delicacies are not as plump as in season, they are pretty good if you can eat them in this season.

Of course, there is meat, and fruits are also indispensable. Coconuts, strawberries, big watermelons, oranges, bananas, and big cherries are all the same!

If they had just looked at the fruits and ingredients prepared in the house and not looked at the cold wind outside, they would have thought it was summer!
With so many things, the adults were okay, but the little ones were really happy. Under the guidance of the little Tongtong, they didn't eat much for lunch, only fruits.

Fortunately, they also knew that there was a big meal in the evening, so they didn't eat so much fruit this afternoon. Of course, they ate a lot, but it was just a little more than usual, and they haven't reached the level of overeating.

And now a group of little guys are staring at the roasted whole lamb being roasted in the yard and swallowing their saliva!
That's right, it's roasted whole lamb. Liu Yang made a special dish today!In addition to the roasted whole lamb, the small stoves under the eaves and the various stews in the casseroles above are also exuding fragrance from time to time.

Braised beef brisket with radish, mutton in clear soup, chicken with matsutake mushrooms, lotus root ribs, yam ribs, braised pork knuckle, braised chicken with wild mushrooms!As well as his favorite old red meat in the previous life, of course, this old red meat is also called in the local area, and there are also four squares around it. Put it in the pot, add sugar, onion and ginger cooking wine and cook it!
This step is for the convenience of coloring and removing fishy smell. After cooking, put it into the oil pan and fry it. If you are not sure about the coloring in this step, you can fry a piece first. If the color of the frying is darker, it means that you have added too much rock sugar. Just wash it with cold water. If the color is not red enough, add some sugar and cook it. After confirming the color, just fry it until all the oil in the meat is fried. This step of frying is ready.

Then when it's time to eat, just take out the amount you want to eat, add some green onions and ginger and simmer over low heat until soft.

When you are waiting to eat, add a bowl of peppercorns and dip it in water, and it will be satisfying after a bite!

This dish is definitely a treat for those who love meat. Anyway, Liu Yang liked it in his previous life.

But if he wants to eat in this life, he has to make it himself. Fortunately, he knows how to make it, so today he exploded a lot of it in one go.

And taking advantage of this oil pan, he also fried a lot of crispy meat, meatballs, and vegetarian meatballs.

These fried crispy meat and meatballs are definitely delicious when cooked in a pot with some cabbage, tofu skin, bean curd and matsutake mushrooms.As for the stir-fry, Liu Yang is not ambiguous at all, stir-fried river shrimp with leeks, stir-fried shrimp, kung pao chicken, braised eel, stir-fried meat, spicy crab, spicy shrimp, and various stir-fried green leafy vegetables. .

There are also a lot of cold dishes, all kinds of braised food, cold dishes, what a wonderful arrangement!
Now that you have the cold dishes, you can’t miss the steamed dishes as well. There are only two types of garlic series shrimps, scallops, loofah, and steamed fish!There are also steamed pork with rice flour, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice, and braised pork with pickled vegetables!Steamed eggs!
After that, there are old duck soup and roast duck. Of course, the roast duck is bought directly. In addition to steamed fish, there are also braised fish and pickled fish.

Anyway, in one sentence, as long as he could think of it, he did it tonight!
Otherwise, it would really disappoint so many delicacies that were transported by air. You must know that the river prawns, but Liu Yang sent people to go to the border of Yunnan and Yun to get them back. Otherwise, in this season, there are some to eat!
Of course, when he went to get these, Liu Yang didn't forget the soldiers who were still fighting at the border, and had a lot of supplies sent over.

After all, they can't just sit back and forget that there are people carrying the burden forward for them, right?

However, when everyone saw the various dishes on the table that could hardly fit on the table, they were still shocked by Liu Yang's generosity.

Of course, this Chinese New Year, although so many dishes looked a bit luxurious, they didn't say anything. Moreover, after setting off the firecrackers and starting to eat, everyone was very impressed with Liu Yang's craftsmanship!

However, as the New Year's Eve dinner progressed and after drinking some wine, Chu's father, who was a soldier, couldn't help but pull Liu Yang to teach him.

But when Father Chu and the others heard that Liu Yang had sent a large amount of supplies to the frontline soldiers long before that.

Father Chu patted Liu Yang on the shoulder and only praised him for his good work.

After this little episode, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even better. The men were drinking and drinking, and the women and children were holding up the juice Liu Yang specially squeezed for them and cheering.

This New Year's Eve dinner was harmonious, loving, and extremely lively!

Of course, everyone will not forget that there will be a Spring Festival Gala this year. For this reason, Cheng Xin moved several TV sets to Liu Yang's family.

After all, there are so many people in the family, and the TV is not big. In order for everyone to see it, he bought a few more!Anyway, they are not short of money.

So after three drinks, everyone had enough to eat and drink, so they divided into groups one by one and stayed in front of the TV to welcome this new era.

But Liu Yang is not included here. Liu Yang still has a bad drinking capacity. He drank himself down after only a few rounds of drinking with Chu's father and Mr. Cheng.

Now everyone is watching the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast with great interest, while he is drunk and sleeping alone in the room!
