Time flies so fast, and it’s another year in the blink of an eye. Modern people’s lives have become better, they eat well every day, and buy new clothes at any time. It feels like the New Year is no longer the same. As a person born in the 1980s, every year at the end of the year, I always think of my childhood, an era without electronic products. When December comes, I talk about the New Year every day. They set off firecrackers, wear new clothes, kill New Year pigs, pickle bacon, get together to roast the fire, and go around to pay new year's money. Although the material conditions of the post-80s generation are not good, adults and children are very happy, everyone is filled with happy smiles.
I remembered the New Year song: Don’t be greedy, little kid, it’s the New Year after Laba. Twenty-three, twenty-three, sugar melon , sticky, twenty-four, , cleaning the house , twenty-five, making tofu, twenty-six, cooking meat, twenty-seven, killing the New Year chicken... These New Year delicacies from the 1980s are classics that have been passed down to this day, full of memories! The 6 dishes I’m sharing today are New Year’s delicacies that we’ve had since childhood. Come and see if you’ve tried them all?
[Songpi Braised Pork]
Songpi Braised Pork is an indispensable delicacy for the Spring Festival wedding banquet, which means grand and festive, symbolizing a happy reunion. The main ingredients of this dish are pork belly and dried vegetables. If done well, dried vegetable braised pork will be fat but not greasy, and you will never tire of eating it. It is very grand when served on the table. It has been a must-have during the New Year and festivals since childhood.
【Boiled Chicken】
Chicken is indispensable during the Chinese New Year, especially for people from Guangdong, Guangxi and . White-cut chicken is a must-have New Year dish. Speaking of plain-cut chicken, the cooking method is still different in each place. Some people like to boil it in boiling water, some people like to steam it in water, and some people use boiling water to soak it. We have been cooking it since we were little. After boiling the boiled chicken soup, add chicken offal, yuba, vermicelli, day lily and simmer it again, and it will become a fresh and sweet chicken soup. It tastes very good!
[Spring Rolls]
In the south, dumplings are not eaten during the Spring Festival, but spring rolls and glutinous rice balls are eaten. The skin of fried spring rolls is golden and crispy, just like the color of gold, so spring rolls also symbolize wealth. When the Chinese New Year comes, every household will prepare fried spring rolls. Plates of golden spring rolls are served on the table, which brings the taste of the new year.
[ open fish ]
How can we have less fish during the Chinese New Year? Chinese people believe that there is no feast without fish, especially during the Chinese New Year, when fish means surplus, and to celebrate good years, there must be a surplus every year. Every year during the Chinese New Year, my parents would cook a fish, either fried or steamed. The fish should be served whole. It cannot be finished on the same day. It is a good sign to leave some leftover.
【Braised Pig's Trotters】
Pig's trotters symbolize wealth and have the beautiful meaning of making a fortune in the New Year, so every household will make pot braised pig's trotters during the Chinese New Year to bring good intentions and hope that in the coming year you can catch more wealth, become richer, and live a happier life.
【cured meat】
Every twelfth lunar month, rows of dried bacon, sausages, cured duck, etc. will be hung in the small courtyard of every household. The cured bacon is eaten during the Chinese New Year, and the rest will be taken back to the city for the children. The bacon made by my mother is the most delicious, and the car will be filled every year when I go back. This is the taste that belongs to us born in the 1980s. In order to let our children also taste this taste, I believe that most mothers born in the 80s have learned how to make bacon, such as me.
When I was a child, I always thought that growing up was far away. I hoped that I could grow up overnight. But now I realize that time flies by and in the blink of an eye, I am already the parents of my child. Sometimes I really want to go back to my childhood, playing happily in the rural sunbathing field, chasing on the village roads, and cheering amidst the sound of firecrackers in Perak Bala. That simple, pure happiness and joy will always remain in my heart.
