In front of the stove, a pot of seemingly ordinary meat puree has something else, including not only the best pork, but also a small amount of crushed surimi.

Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner, also known as "Farewell New Year's Meal", has the meaning of saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year. The reunion of the year before is not only the end of the hard work of the year, but also the meaning of removing the old and welcoming the new, and praying for the coming year. Regarding the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the earliest source is from the record of the "Fengtu Ji" of the Zhou Department of the Jin Dynasty: "Wine and food are invited, and it is called another year; Until Chinese New Year's Eve, it is called keeping the year. The sacrifice is completed first, the young and old gather to drink, and the blessings are scattered, which is called the year. "There are records of "farewell dinner" in the writings of the Zhou Division, and the customs of "farewell year (i.e., eating Chinese New Year's Eve meal), keeping the year, and dividing the year (pressing the year money) have continued to this day.

At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, the Wuhan Little Blue Whale Acrobatic Hall store ushered in many guests for the New Year's banquet. At the dinner table, everyone laughed and staggered to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Steamed Wuchang fish, squirrel mandarin fish ......On the New Year's dinner table of Wuhan people, almost all the tables have a whole fish, which means that there is more than enough every year. Huang Zhangwen, the executive chef of the hotel, introduced that every household in Hubei will cook fish and love to eat fish, and there is a saying that "no fish is not a feast". As one of the representatives of Hubei cuisine, steamed Wuchang fish is the restaurant's Spring Festival dish, which is widely praised by diners. When out of the pot, the Wuchang fish is shaped like a peacock and opens the screen, which is fragrant and delicious, which makes people have a great appetite."
One side of the water and soil breeds one side of the food. The "Dictionary of Chinese Chu Cuisine" summarizes the characteristics of Chu cuisine as: "the land of fish and rice, good at steaming and simmering, fresh and fragrant, and harmonious with the Quartet." "Hubei is a province of a thousand lakes and the land of fish and rice, and freshwater fish resources such as Wuchang fish, fish, and mandarin fish are very rich, and fish has naturally become an indispensable part of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, taking its meaning of "surplus every year".

A collection of fish balls, meat balls, meat cakes of the "Huangpi three fresh", the soup is rich, the balls are fragrant and tender, and it has become the "finale dish" that must be on every table of the New Year's dinner table.
The family sits idly and the lights are amiable. These traditional old tastes are not only a big meal, but also a kind of inheritance of customs and a kind of spiritual home. Wuhan citizen Zeng Qiming came to dine with his family. He said that if the food of the South China Sea and North is within reach today, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner full of hometown taste is still the most important comfort of the year, "I miss this hometown taste the most." No matter how far away and busy you are, this meal is inevitable."
