Meat swallows are a special delicacy in Sanshan. They are made into meat paste with lean pork legs and sweet potato flour, rolled into thin paper, cut into small pieces of three inches square, wrapped with meat filling, made into flat food, cooked and eaten with soup.

Since the skin and filling ingredients of the meat swallows are all pork, they are also nicknamed "meat-packed meat".

Meat swallows are also called Taiping Yan. People in Sanshan have festivals, weddings, funerals, and relatives and friends will have to eat "Taiping Yan" and take the auspiciousness of "peace" and "peace", so "no swallows can not make a banquet, no swallows can not make a young man".

The people who celebrate the New Year together today are all authentic Sanshan people, so the New Year’s Eve dinner is naturally indispensable.

After hearing the sound, Xia Rufei and Ling Xiaotian immediately washed their hands and walked to the dining table.

Lin Qiao had already brought a pot of chopped meat filling and a pack of swallow skins.

Ling Xiaotian is also an expert. After weighing it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "This swallow skin is of high quality!"

Lin Qiao said proudly: "This is my mother who bought the best pig hind legs meat and rolled it by herself! It's much better than what I bought outside!"

The traditional production process of meat swallow skin is very complicated and time-consuming. Most people will not make their own skin because there are many meat swallow shops of all sizes in Sanshan and can be bought at any time. People who are more particular are simply choosing better ones. For example, a century-old restaurant like Tongli meat swallows can be said to be very few of them.

Lingji Restaurant also makes its own meat swallow skin, and it is also sold to customers, so Ling Xiaotian is also very proficient in making meat swallow skin.

He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "I didn't expect that my in-laws would have this unique skill! There are not many people who know how to be a Yanpi now..."

When Huzi's mother heard this in the kitchen, she smiled and poked her head out and said, "I learned a little from my elders when I was young, but I was a little bit showing off in front of experts like my in-laws!"

"Where are there!" Ling Xiaotian said, "This is not worse than what the master in our store does!"

"The in-laws are so good at speaking!" Huzi's mother said happily, "You should eat more in-laws then!"

"It must be!" Ling Xiaotian agreed with a smile.

In the kitchen, Hu Zi's mother and Ling Qingxue were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, while Xia Rufei, Ling Xiaotian and Lin Qiao were chatting in the restaurant while packing meat swallows, and the atmosphere was in a happy mood.

An afternoon passed quickly, and at around five o'clock in the evening, the carefully prepared New Year's Eve dinner was finally almost completed.

Except for the last dish left for Ling Xiaotian to cook, the meat swallows were left untooked.

The seasoning of the meat swallows is completed in advance. You only need to boil it in the pot and add a little seasoning to eat it. It takes a very short time, so Ling Xiaotian started to put on an apron and prepared to handle the last dish himself.

What was left for Ling Xiaotian was naturally the steamed chives.

He "driven" Ling Qingxue and Huzi's mother who wanted to stay for help out, and then began to skillfully deal with the shad.

Steamed Yangtze River Anchovy is a specialty dish of Su Yu, the executive chef of Lingji Catering Group.

During this period, the anchovies have started to serve Ling Ji’s private dishes. Ling Xiaotian himself has a good cooking skills, and he has the best time to get the moon around the water, so he is already very skilled in cooking this dish.

Soon he processed the fish, put it on a plate and added the seasoning, and then put it into the steamer.

While waiting, Ling Xiaotian simply started cooking meat swallows.

There is no trick to cooking meat swallows. Put the meat swallows in water and boil them, and add an appropriate amount of seasoning.

However, even when Ling Xiaotian cuts onions, his techniques seem to have a sense of rhythm. This is not a deliberate show-off, but a chef incorporates a subconscious rhythm.

Xia Rufei, who was watching the fun on the side, couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Not long after the pot of pork swallows was cooked, the timer issued a reminder to remind the steamed anchovies that were ready.

Ling Xiaotian personally brought the shad, while Xia Rufei came to the restaurant with a pot of meat swallows.

"Eat New Year's Eve dinner!" Lin Qiao shouted happily.

Then Lin Qiao said, "It seems that the firecrackers have not been set off yet!"

"There are no firecrackers here!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Although Sanshan does not prohibit the setting of fireworks and firecrackers in the whole city, the control is relatively strict. New communities like Daguan Tianxia are definitely not allowed to be set.

Lin Qiao said with some worries: "No firecrackers seem to be missing the atmosphere of the New Year!"

Lin Qiao grew up in a fishing village when she was a child. From childhood to the Chinese New Year, there was no sound of firecrackers in the village? She often followed her brother to pick up unlit firecrackers, and then set them all over the village.

Xia Rufei's eyes rolled and said, "I have a way!"

After saying that, he turned on the TV and the speakers. Xia Rufei personally matched the appliances here. The TV was equipped with an Internet box. Xia Rufei quickly searched for the sound of firecrackers in the box and turned on the speakers.

A crackling sound of firecrackers came out of the audio. The high-end subwoofer made the sound of the firecrackers quite shocking, but it lacked the smell of gunpowder.

"It's okay?" Lin Qiao said with a smile, "I can barely let it go! Have a meal!"

The two families sat around the dining table together.

Xia Rufei and Lin Qiao began to pour wine for everyone. Ling Xiaotian and Xia Rufei naturally drank the Eight Immortals, and they were not sold in batches by the winery, but the kind that Xia Rufei hid in the space.

The ladies chose eill without exception. Since Xia Rufei first took out this white wine, they have all liked the rich flavor. Even the mother of Hu Zi, who doesn't drink much, has poured a glass of it.

"Uncle Ling, say a few words?" Xia Ruofei looked at Ling Xiaotian with a smile.

Ling Xiaotian smiled and said, "I am here to be a guest today! It's time for the in-laws to say!"

Hu Zi's mother waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I'm not very good at speaking, so I'll just say it to you, my in-laws!"

Ling Qingxue burst into laughter and said, "You push it around again, don't eat the New Year's Eve dinner..."

"Okay, let me say a few words!" Ling Xiaotian picked up the wine glass and said, "Today we are together for the New Year, this is fate! Here I also hope that the children can be harmonious and loving. The elderly are trying to maintain a healthy body and not cause trouble for their children! Come on, everyone raises their glasses together and wish them a better year ahead!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

After drinking the first glass of wine, the New Year’s Eve dinner officially started.

According to custom, the first dish that everyone eats must be Taiping Swallows. Hu Zi’s mother also personally served a bowl for everyone. In addition to the meat swallows, everyone also has a boiled duck egg in their bowl. In Sanshan, this is called "Taiping Egg", which also means auspiciousness.

Every dish you have to eat for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and other dishes can be tasted lightly, but this bowl of Taipingyan must be finished.

All of them here are native Sanshan people, and they don’t need others to popularize these things for them. They all picked up bowls.

The swallow skin made by Hu Zi's mother is very chewy, and the sweet potato flour mixed in is just right. It is soft and smooth in the mouth. The meat filling is also very delicious. It is also added with horse hooves. The fresh and fragrant taste is a bit crispier. Everyone praised it after eating it. Even Ling Xiaotian, a chef with a very picky vision, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Seeing that everyone liked the meat swallows they made so much, Hu Zi's mother was so happy that she could not stop talking about her.

She smiled and said, "In-law, I still have two pounds of swallow skin that have not been wrapped. If you like it, take it back. If you want to eat it, just wrap it yourself!"

Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Mom! Uncle Ling is a super chef, and there are people selling swallow skins in their store, so why should we give it to us?"

Ling Xiaotian immediately said, "I want it! This Yanpi is much better than the master in our store! In-law, then I'm not polite! Haha, I'm sorry to eat and take it..."

"It's all a family, don't be so disgusted!" Hu Zi's mother said happily.

After eating Taipingyan, everyone chose their favorite dishes according to their taste.

The steamed chickfish and Buddha Jumping over the wall were still the most popular. Lin Qiao ate it all over the mouth, and even Ling Qingxue, who has always paid attention to image, ate several bites in a row.

Seeing that the dishes he made were popular, Ling Xiaotian grinned with joy. As for the main contribution of this dish, it was from the ingredients provided by Xia Rufei, which did not affect his sense of accomplishment at all.

The Sanshan Mountains are not like in the north. The New Year’s Eve dinner usually starts early. After everyone has eaten and drunk enough, the Spring Festival Gala has not started yet, but is just a live broadcast of preheating.

Huzi's mother and Ling Qingxue, Lin Qiao began to clean up the mess, and Ling Xiaotian and Xia Ruofei were once again excluded by their female compatriots. The father-in-law and son-in-law simply made tea and watched TV in the living room.

Ling Xiaotian and his daughter were not in a hurry to leave after dinner. After all, today is New Year's Eve. When they get home, the father and daughter are in the cold villa. They are inevitably a little lonely. It is better to watch the Spring Festival Gala together here.

At about 8 o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala of the national television station, which is said to be the highest rating in the world, kicked off.

Both families sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea, eating melon seeds and chatting, and watching the Spring Festival Gala, the atmosphere was in a happy mood.

In fact, the entertainment industry is very developed now. In order to balance all aspects of the Spring Festival Gala, there are also a lot of singing and dancing programs. The language programs that everyone likes are constantly deleted and modified in rounds of reviews due to the broadcast scale, and the excitement level is greatly reduced.

However, it is more of a habit to watch the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year. It seems that if you don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala, it seems that there will be something missing in this year.

While watching TV, Lin Qiao was also browsing Weibo on her mobile phone.

Every year during the Spring Festival Gala, it is also the most active time for jokesters. Many programs have just finished broadcasting, and jokes are emerging one after another on the Internet.

When Lin Qiao saw interesting jokes, she would read them loudly, which made everyone laugh and feel that the jokes were more interesting than the party.

Ling Xiaotian and his daughter did not finish watching the Spring Festival Gala, and they stood up to say goodbye at around 11 o'clock.

Although Sanshan also has the custom of staying up to New Year, Huzi's mother and Ling Xiaotian are old after all. If it weren't for the New Year, they would have had a rest at this point long ago.

Ling Xiaotian considered that he and Ling Qingxue were staying here, and Huzi's mother had to force herself to accompany her, and he felt a little sleepy, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.

When I came, Xia Rufei drove to pick me up, so I naturally had to send me off when I returned.

"Ruofei, why don't you call a designated driver?" Ling Qingxue said, "You have drunk a lot of wine tonight!"

Although he watched the Spring Festival Gala for several hours, Xia Rufei shared a bottle of white wine with Ling Xiaotian while having the New Year's Eve dinner. He drank at least about five taels, so Ling Qingxue was also a little worried.

In fact, when Xia Rufei stood up and was about to send them back, he had already silently used his true energy and forced out all the remaining alcohol in his body.

He smiled and said, "Where can I go to find a designated driver for the New Year? Don't worry! After so long, I have drunk so much tea, and a little bit of wine will be gone!"

In fact, Xia Rufei has always been extremely sober. After practicing, he seemed to have a lot more alcohol content. He couldn't get drunk at all by one or two pounds of white wine, not to mention that he only drank five or six ounces tonight.

But just in case, he forced all the alcohol out of his body, which would be even less problematic.

Ling Xiaotian was a little drunk, and he said, "It's okay! I know Ruofei's alcohol tolerance! Let him drive it!"

Originally, Hu Zi's mother wanted to persuade her, but seeing that Ling Xiaotian said that, she couldn't speak, so she could only say to Xia Rufei: "Ruofei, then you drive slowly on the road, and after you send your in-laws and Qingxue, come back and rest quickly!"

Xia Rufei must stay in Daguan Tianxia tonight. This house is made of four bedrooms and two living rooms. With the attached small attic, Lin Qiao's boudoir, even if Ling Xiaotian and his daughter stay overnight, they can still live there.

Hu Zi's mother had already cleaned up the room. In fact, there was a room in this house that had been reserved for Xia Rufei. All the sheets, bedding, pillows and so on were ready-made.

"I understand, godmother!" Xia Rufei said with a smile, "You should rest early, don't wait for me anymore! Anyway, it's a good idea that you won't go to bed for a while, so she'll just open the door for me!"

"Okay!" Huzi's mother said with a smile. ww.

The mother and daughter sent the three out of the door. Xia Rufei took Ling Xiaotian and Ling Qingxue to the underground garage by elevator, drove out of the Daguantianxia community, and drove towards Ling Xiaotian's riverside villa.

There are not many cars on the street on New Year's Eve. Everyone is basically watching the Spring Festival Gala with their families at home. The explosive roar of the Knights 15th generation sounded on the empty streets, unobstructed all the way, and soon approached the villa community in Jiangbin.

However, after turning a street, the road slowly narrowed, rows of conical barricades slowly harvested the two lanes into one lane.

Xia Rufei was wondering when he saw several police officers in reflective vests in front waved the electric baton in his hand and signaled him to pull over to stop.

"The police are so dedicated?" Xia Ruofei said to himself, "Don't they go home to rest during the New Year?"
Chapter completed!
