Chapter 218 Twelve Dishes for the New Year's Eve Dinner
"Xiaoyun, pass me the starch water." Chen Ying stretched out his hand towards Lin Ruyun, still staring at the pot, and said.

"Here." Lin Ruyun quickly handed over the bowl of starch water in front of her.

Chen Ying took it, and immediately added it to the pot, then added a little salt and an appropriate amount of monosodium glutamate, then turned on the stove and used high heat to collect the juice.

In this way, another stewed sea cucumber is also finished.

Similarly, it was also sent into the warming cabinet first!
Connecting the two most important ingredients, it has become a four-course dish. The soup stewed in the pot is ready, and everything else is ready.

The time is just right, dinner can be served at six o'clock!
The New Year's Eve dinner is a must-have custom on New Year's Eve. Every family sits around a table and eats a meal happily.

In the past, the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner were very demanding, and the most important ones were the twelve dishes.

These all represent three very important elements, reunion, celebration and blessing.

Usually it is: four cold dishes and eight hot dishes.

Among them, the eight hot dishes are more particular, requiring four meat and four vegetarian dishes, while the four cold dishes can be arranged according to personal preferences!
The meal that Chen Ying prepared tonight can't be said to be very particular, but it can definitely be called a luxurious and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Fortunately, the dining table at home is big enough, otherwise it would not be enough to place it.

"Son, put the soup on the table first, be careful not to burn it!" Chen Ying instructed Fang Yu.

"Understood." Fang Yu replied.

He took a rag from the kitchen, wrapped it around the two ears of the casserole, and brought it out, not hot at all.

"Xiaoyun, take this squirrel mandarin fish for me."

"Son, come, come, and take out these two dishes, hurry up."

Chen Ying's mouth is busier than her hands and feet, giving orders to one and that to the other!
"Auntie, I'm here to help too!" Lin Ruhang returned to the kitchen and volunteered.

"Okay, then Xiaohang, take out the pork ribs!" Chen Ying smiled at Lin Ruhang and said.

"OK!" Lin Ruhang picked up the plate of ribs she was pointing at, and went straight out of the kitchen.

After a while, all the dishes in the kitchen were transferred to the table in the dining room, and they were fully arranged.

The aroma of the food was overflowing, and finally attracted the two fathers who were far away in the living room.

"Sister-in-law's craftsmanship can really catch up with other star-rated restaurants." Lin Tonghai praised the table full of delicacies.

"Father Xiaoyun, I'm honored. Take your seat quickly, and then you can have the New Year's Eve dinner." Chen Ying greeted with a modest smile.

Fang Yu was putting tableware on everyone's seats, and Fang Zhongxing and Lin Tonghai took their seats first.

Lin Ruhang sat between Lin Tonghai and Lin Ruyun, Fang Yu was next to her, Fang Zhongxing and Chen Ying were naturally sitting together.

"Auntie, you are really particular about cooking this New Year's Eve dinner. There are four cold dishes and eight hot dishes." Lin Ruyun counted secretly and said.

There are four meat hot dishes, squirrel mandarin fish, stewed black chicken soup, konjac roast duck, glutinous rice steamed pork ribs; four vegetarian hot dishes, jade cabbage rolls, celery lotus root slices, leek egg dumplings, Sixi tofu.

There are four cold dishes, cold enoki mushrooms, five-spice stewed pork platter, cold jellyfish skin, and sesame and taro rolls.

"It's just a good intention, and it's not very particular." Chen Ying responded with a smile.

"Oh, really? What's the meaning of these?" Lin Ruhang asked.

In previous years, their family's New Year's Eve dinner was at most fish and meat. As long as the three members of the family were all present, they would be satisfied to have a reunion dinner.

No matter how many dishes there are, what meaning do the dishes have!
People of the older generation knew a lot, and Lin Tonghai also knew a little bit, but he never told his son about it.

Therefore, Lin Ruhang naturally didn't know the meaning of it!
"The four meat dishes must have chicken, duck, fish, and meat, each of which represents a different meaning." Fang Yu explained with a smile.

Lin Ruyun followed Fang Yu's words and continued.

"Xiaohang, because the rooster represents the golden rooster announcing the dawn, and it sounds the same as auspicious, which also means auspiciousness."

"Duck is a kind of animal that heralds the spring. It implies the arrival of spring and beauty. And fish, which is the same as Yu, represents surplus every year."

"Leaving a piece of meat means that life is rich!"

She is very serious and popularizes the knowledge of traditional festivals to her younger brother.Like before, Xiaohang would never ask this kind of question, probably because he is in such a good mood today.

"Yunyun really knows a lot!" Fang Yu cast admiring glances at his fiancée, and said with a smile.

"Oh, that's it! Sis, where are the four vegetarian dishes?" Lin Ruhang asked impatiently.

He has learned to temporarily block the dog food sprinkled by Fang Yu. He doesn't want to be stuffed to death by the dog food before he starts to enjoy this delicious New Year's Eve dinner!
"The four vegetarian dishes include celery, cabbage, leeks and tofu. Vegetables have the same pronunciation as money, and cabbage represents wealth, celery represents wealth through hard work, and leeks represent long-term prosperity.

As for tofu and dufu, Yejiu means having more blessings and wealth. "

Lin Ruyun spoke eloquently.

"Yunyun is really knowledgeable and talented!" Fang Yu came again...

Lin Ruhang twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, he couldn't see it, he couldn't see it, if he didn't want to see it, he couldn't see it!
"Xiao Hang, eat the food first, and ask slowly, otherwise the food will be cold." Chen Ying reminded.

Just because of Lin Ruhang's question, everyone listened carefully and started eating.

"That's right, let's eat first! Didn't you just call yourself hungry?" Lin Ruyun said.

"Hehe, I'm too curious, I forgot!" Lin Ruhang showed an embarrassed but polite smile on his face.

After such a reminder, everyone began to enter the state of eating, and tasted each dish with a chopstick.

I have to say, it is delicious in color and fragrance!

"My wife's craftsmanship is getting better every day!"

"Not bad, the restaurant sells nothing more than that! But I'm married to a good wife who is good at the hall and the kitchen at the bottom!"

Fang Zhongxing was eating konjac roast duck, full of praise.

"Sister-in-law, your ribs are very authentic..."

"And your black-bone chicken soup is also hot enough..."

As Lin Tonghai said, he took a few more spoonfuls of chicken soup and drank it down.

For a while, the table was full of compliments on Chen Ying's cooking skills, which made her feel embarrassed!

"Auntie, my brother-in-law is really blessed. I really envy my brother-in-law who can eat auntie's dishes every day!" Lin Luhang ate with big mouthfuls, and praised while eating.

At this time, he was only envious of his future brother-in-law Fang Yu, and he was also envious.

"Don't be envious. After you come to school in the city center, Auntie can make delicious food for you every day." Chen Ying replied with a smile.
