There are many things to pay attention to during the Chinese New Year, and thirty years are naturally the day for family reunion.

After thirty, it is the first day of the New Year. From the first day of the New Year, it is also the day for every household to greet the New Year.

In addition to the fact that a married daughter cannot go back to her parents' home, every household is paying New Year's greetings. In addition to the New Year's greetings, there are many other considerations.

For example, you cannot drink porridge on the first day of the lunar calendar because porridge was only drunk by poor families before. Therefore, drinking porridge on the first day of the lunar calendar means that you will suffer from poverty this year and you cannot eat meat, even eggs and milk. Because the morning on the first day of the lunar calendar is also called the All Gods, which means that all Gods will come out to pay New Year's greetings. Therefore, in order to show respect to these gods, you cannot eat meat, eat vegetarian food, and you cannot take medicine, even if it is a tonic, you cannot eat it.

You can't ask someone to get up by name, as this will cause the called person to be urged to work all year round.

You should not wish you a happy New Year to those who are still sleeping, because this will make the New Year's greetings sick.

It is not necessary to wash clothes on the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the second day, because the birthday of the Water God is on these two days.

You can't take a nap during the day, nor do you need to pour out sewage, garbage, or sweep the floor, which will sweep away the wealth in the house.

You can't let others pay from your pocket, nor can you collect debts from others...

Of course, these are all old sayings. Now there are no elderly people in Jiang Hai’s home. Who would care about these things?

Logically speaking, in addition to paying New Year's greetings to elders on the first day of the New Year, you can't go to other people's houses to play. Jiang Hai also went there without delay.

Hearing Fu Yuan's words, Jiang Hai responded, then sat up from the bed in a daze, went to the bathroom to wash his hair, wash his face, brush his teeth, everything was packed, and he put on his clothes and went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, Jiang Hai saw Xu Wei's car from afar. At this time, there were already many people sitting in the car.

Jiang Hai took a random look and found that there was an empty space in the car. He sat on it.

"Oh, what's the way? You're going to play with us and wear Versace, it's fake!" As soon as Jiang Hai sat down, Fu Yuan was already screaming and shouting. These people hadn't noticed yet, but they all read Fu Yuan's words.

But even if they look at it, they probably won’t understand what Versace is. In fact, even Jiang Hai is not very clear.

"Don't mention it, my wife bought it for me." Jiang Hai noticed his outfit and couldn't help but say self-deprecatingly.

"Oh, I'll go, which wife is this!" Xu Wei here also screamed and said with a strange cry.

"Who else can you do? OK, don't make things difficult for me. The marriage has not been divorced. Come on, let's open the way. What are we going to buy!" After taking a photo of Xu Wei in front of the driver's seat, Jiang Hai also said with a smile.

"What are you buying? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Where can I open the door? People don't have to rest." Xiang Hua, who was here, also said behind him. Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but curl his lips. This is the case with China. It's not easy to buy things in a year.

"I don't care what I eat, I just want to drink some. Let's just put some peanuts and other things on it." Huang Yunfei, another friend of Jiang Hai who had been playing with his phone behind him, also interrupted.

"Who is drinking with you? You are a person who is in the hospital. You can drink only every day. Who has ever drunk you! My family is ready. My dad got two sheep a few days ago, one of which was rinsed and roasted. We rinsed first at noon and roasted at night. After lunch, let's see if it's a troublesome or a poker." Fuyuan heard Huang Yunfei's words and gave him a contemptuous middle finger, then said to Xu Wei. The group talked and laughed, drove quickly towards Fuyuan's home.

Fuyuan's home is not small, but it is actually not very big. It has two houses and one kitchen. Usually, Jiang Hai and the others don't go to play. After all, he does not live alone here, and his parents. But because his hometown is not from Bingcheng City, during the Chinese New Year, his father and mother went back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year, and he was the only one at home, so naturally he could do it.

At a small supermarket that was open on the road, they bought five boxes of beer, some old lady brand peanuts, and a few cans of Russian-style small sour cucumbers, and then drove downstairs of Fuyuan's house.

After parked the car, everyone carried a box of wine, Jiang Hai also brought the bought peanuts and sour cucumbers, and then came to Fuyuan's home. It was only about 8 o'clock in the morning when they went to call Jiang Hai, but it was already ten o'clock when they arrived here.

After cleaning up, everyone was ready to have lunch. Under Fuyuan's command, they also put the table up and put the wine on the windowsill outside to freeze. At this time, Bingcheng wanted to drink cold drinks, so they could not put it in the refrigerator. There was no temperature in the refrigerator outside! It took less than ten minutes to be very cool.

Put the table, pour down the peanuts, the beef I bought, and a plate of cucumbers. The induction cooker in the middle has also been opened, and a pot of clear soup is in a large pot and it starts to cook.

When it comes to shabu pot, there are actually two types. One is hot pot belonging to Sichuan and Shu. The hot pot comes from Wudu. According to legend, it is because the dock workers in Wudu cannot afford to eat delicious food because they are poor. In some slaughterhouses in the upstream, those who kill pigs and cattle slaughtered people. After killing pigs, sheep, and cows, ancient people did not eat water. They would throw these water into the river and float along the river.

The workers downstream picked up these unnecessary water, went home to remove the fishy smell from chili peppers, peppers, etc., and then cooked them.

This is the source of hot pot, and another way to eat it is shabu shabu, which has a much longer history.

According to legend, it was during the Song Dynasty, when the people of the Yuan Dynasty fought everywhere. Once when they were about to bury the pot and cook rice, the enemy suddenly arrived. The chef at that time had an idea and used the soldiers' helmets as a pot to cook a pot of mutton. After the soldiers finished eating, their morale was indeed shocking and they felt very delicious. Later, it was passed down, which was the origin of mutton.

At a rough perspective, these two methods are not much different, but if you understand them carefully, you will know that these are actually two ways to eat.

Hotpot is mainly spicy and fresh, and emphasizes heavy mouth, heavy ingredients and heavy oil. When eaten, it is dipped in oil dishes, not sauce dishes. Moreover, the main things are mainly made of internal organs and beef, so you can hardly eat lambs.

Shabu shabu is based on fresh soup and is divided into seafood pots, bone soup pots, etc., emphasizing the original flavor of the soup. When eating it, it is a sauce dish made of seasonings such as sesame sauce. The main ones are meat and mutton, and of course beef can also be eaten.

Bingcheng is located in Longjiang Province, and next to Inner Mongolia is next to it, so their habit of eating shabu-shabu is more mutton hotpot than hotpot. For example, the soup base made by Jiang Hai and others today is not the hotpot base bought in the supermarket, but the ones they really cook, with the onion, ginger and cooking wine as the base, and a few shrimps, a few crabs, and a few shells. These seafood are used to mix the seafood soup base. Once the soup is rolled, the taste will come out, it is light and fresh, but it has a seafood smell. Fish and sheep are fresh together, so if you use this soup base to swell the mutton hotpot, the taste will be crazy.

Soon, a umami smell began to echo in the room, which made everyone feel a little nervous.

"Where is the meat?" Jiang Hai couldn't help but ask him after taking a look at Fu Yuan who was also swallowing his saliva next to him.

"Oh, let's get it!" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Fu Yuan remembered that the meat had not been taken out yet, so he took Jiang Hai to his freezer and opened the freezer. There was a pile of steak inside. This was the steak sent by Jiang Hai, and there were two huge plastic bags on the other side, but one black and one white.

Jiang Hai then opened the black one and found that there was a whole sheep inside, which made Jiang Hai feel a little Spartan, how can he eat it?

"Not this, this is a black goat. It is used to roast it at night, and that is used to rinse it today." Seeing Jiang Hai's expression, Fu Yuan knew that he had taken the wrong one. After putting the mutton in his hand again, he picked up another bag. The other bag was filled with sliced ​​mutton slices, but compared to the mutton slices sold, the mutton slices here are a little different in size.

"Uh, is there any difference?" Jiang Hai asked in confusion after taking the mutton out.

"Of course there is a difference. This whole black goat. The meat of the black goat is tight, grows slowly, and is aggressive. Because of the aggressive relationship, it is often raised in the mountains. The amount of exercise is large, so the meat is particularly good. Well, of course, it is still much worse than your beef, but this mutton is the best I have ever eaten." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Fu Yuan here started to say that in fact, he just checked these things after his father got the sheep back.

"The mutton this sauté is Wuzhumuqin sheep, produced in Inner Mongolia. Do you know? This mutton is exclusively for Donglaishun. It costs 68 yuan per plate, which is much more expensive than ordinary Boer goats. The taste has been tried once in our family. It is indeed much better than the mutton I bought outside. The fat meat is not greasy, and the lean meat is not dry. When it is burned in the water, the umami flavor of the mutton and the flavor of Shanghai fresh enter the mutton. I went there, no, I have to take it out, and I have to saliva.

It was about to flow down." After licking his lips, Fu Yuan took out three packs of mutton from the big bag of mutton and hurried to the living room. As for Jiang Hai, he swallowed, Westerners love to eat mutton very much. This can be seen from the fact that there are many mutton chops in their main meal. The little brothers of the United States, Canada and Australia all like to eat mutton, especially Australia. The mutton and wool industries can be regarded as the top presence in the world, but the people of the United States do not like to eat mutton very much.

Jiang Hai also has some in his manor, but he hasn't eaten mutton for so long. Now, he really misses the taste of pork and mutton. After hearing what Fu Yuan said, he is a little hungry. (To be continued.)
