Golden Fishing Village

There are many people, so there must be many dishes.

Ao Muyang got busy. Some of the work was not technical, so he could let a few children with ADHD do it. Some of the work required some technical skills, so he also had Zhong Cang and his wife, Song Qiumin and others to help.

Sugar garlic, hot and sour radish, homemade pickles, drunken crab claws, pickled tuna, these are appetizers.

Fresh fish sauce, cabbage and pork stewed with fish, seafood stew, fried meat, fried mabu fish, charcoal grilled peeled dried fish, mutton soup, roasted lamb leg, baby cabbage in soup, fried chicken mushroom, these are the main dishes.

Looking at these dishes, he thought about the poultry raised in the backyard. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a moment, raising poultry for a hundred days and using them for the New Year, but he was tired of eating chicken, so he planned to change the taste of today's New Year's Eve dinner.

So he said to Heilong: "Heilong, go to the backyard and kill a duck. I'll make a beer duck. Watch out, kill a big one. There are so many of us, and the small ones are not enough to eat."

These ducks and geese have only been raised for a few months, and some are still too small.

Heilong nodded. He is good at using a knife, killing people is no problem, let alone a poultry?

After a while, he came back with one.

Ao Muyang looked at it and asked: "Is this duck big enough?"

Heilong smiled slightly and nodded reservedly.

Ao Muyang asked again: "Did it struggle hard when you killed it?"

Heilong nodded. Indeed, this thing may have struggled.

Ao Muyang continued to ask: "Did it cry when you killed it?"

Heilong nodded again.

Ao Muyang asked again: "Then do you know what it's calling? It actually wants to talk to you."

The Black Dragon shook his head in confusion. I don't understand duck language, and I can't read the shape of a duck's mouth. How can I understand what it says?

Ao Muyang sighed and said: "It has been trying to tell you that you killed the wrong one. Brother, I am a goose, a big white goose, not a duck!"

Hearing his words, Zhong Cang stretched his neck to take a look, and then laughed.

Lu Zhizi suppressed his laughter and said: "It's not the Black Dragon's fault. The sea gypsies don't raise chickens, ducks, and geese. Besides, you told them you wanted a big one. Can a duck be as big as a goose?"

The two eyes of this goose are still open. It wants to say to everyone: I died unjustly!

Originally, Ao Muyang wanted to make beer duck, so he temporarily changed to making an iron pot with a big goose.

It happened that it was cold on the night of the 30th, so he put an electric cooker in the living room, and the cut big goose was stewed with sauces and condiments. Soon the thick soup was boiling and the fragrance was overflowing.

There was also a fragrance coming out of the pressure steamer, that was the fish and turtle being cooked.

Ao Muyang opened the lid of the pot, and a thick white steam rose into the air, like a smoke.

The general ran to see if there was anything to eat, and the brothers of the Wolf family followed, jumping and staring.

Ao Muyang picked up one and threw it into the pot: "So curious? Here, go down and see."

The general stood up behind him and used his claws to pull his arm forward: Stew it, stew it.

Youfu flashed his big ears and rushed over quickly, swishing along his clothes and pants to his shoulders, and then went along his arm to grab Meng Tian, ​​whimpering anxiously.

Lu Zhizi asked with a smile: "Youfu, can't you stew Da Meng?"

Youfu nodded pitifully, opened his mouth and bit the skin on the back of Meng Tian's neck.

Meng Tian let out two baby-like wolf howls, with a confused face.

Putting down Meng Tian, ​​Ao Muyang used chopsticks to test the fish and turtle.

The pressure cooker is powerful, and they are already well cooked.

The bones of the yellow thorn fish are very hard. He put on gloves and lifted the fish head and shook it vigorously. Then the fish meat fell into the soup like a white jade plate. In the end, he was left with the fish head and a pile of fish bones.

The meat of the turtle cannot be shaken off by just shaking the turtle head. This requires a knife to remove the bones and meat. It is simple. Ao Muyang opened the lid and dealt with it quickly.

The head and bones of the fish and turtle cannot be thrown away. Taking out the fish and turtle meat is one dish, and putting the rest into the pot and stewing the soup vigorously is another dish.

The steaming fish and turtle meat were served, and Ao Muyang paired it with a sauce made of chili pepper, pickled pepper, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and waved: "Come on, come on, let's eat!"

Amid the steam, the beautiful pure music of the Spring Festival Overture sounded on the TV, and then the host's voice rang out: "China Central Television!" "China Central Television!"

Old man Ao Zhibing called out: "Come on, come on, everyone, come and sit down, come on, sit down, drink and watch the Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala has begun."

Everyone sat down one after another, and Ao Muyang saw that the sixth sister was still standing there, so he waved Said: "Come on, Sixth sister, sit down next to your Uncle Cang and Aunt Xia, this year's reunion dinner is about to begin."

Sixth sister seemed a little uncomfortable with this occasion. After she sat down, she was about to stand up again with her bowl in her arms. Wang Xia pulled her back, poured milk into her cup and said: "Come, eat here, drink more milk, your Uncle Cang has trained you hard, so you need to drink more milk."

Sixth sister said in a very low voice: "It's not hard, it's great."

Ao Muyang said to her: "Sit down quickly, what's the matter, are you going to stand and bring wine? Do you want to be the first to bring wine?"

Hearing what he said, Sixth sister sat down quickly.

Ao Muyang stood up, raised his glass and smiled: "Come on, everyone, I'll bring a glass of wine first, thank you all for gathering here to celebrate the New Year. Last year, it was just me and Grandpa Bing for the reunion dinner, but this year we have so many people at once, it's great, the first glass of wine, let's toast to the past year, come on!"

A circle of wine glasses were raised, Ao Muyang drank it in one gulp, added more wine and raised the glass again: "The second glass of wine is for the new year that is coming soon, I wish everyone a happy new year!"

"Happy New Year!" A group of people shouted happily.

There was a festive atmosphere with so many people, and more than ten pairs of chopsticks were flying on the table, and everyone was talking, it was extremely lively.

When the fish and turtle soup in the pot was cooked, Ao Muyang put some hand-rolled noodles brought by Song Qiumin in it, one bowl for each person, and covered it with fish and turtle toppings. He said: "Come on, authentic wild fish and turtle noodles, let us have everything for the new year!"

He kept adjusting the atmosphere and led everyone to wait until midnight to celebrate the new year together.

At the stroke of twelve o'clock, Ao Muyang walked out with Heilong and Zhong Cang: "Quick, open the door cannon!"

There is a tradition of rushing to open the door cannon in the Hongyang area during the New Year, that is, when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, every household scrambles to set off firecrackers. It is generally believed that the earlier the better, and the earlier the family sets off, the more blessings they will receive.

Last year, Ao Muyang's family was small, so he had no interest in this activity. This year, with so many people, it was necessary.

They were not the fastest, and some families were waiting to light firecrackers at 11:50.

When Ao Muyang opened the door, the sound of firecrackers had already started, and someone in the village was shouting at the top of his lungs: "Welcome the New Year!"
