Eat mixed noodles on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve
My father-in-law's family gets up on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve to eat mixed noodles, and it has been like this since I got married, and I heard that the ancestors of the old Wang family were big officials, and the older generation has always adhered to this custom, which has been passed down to the present. In previous years, the mother-in-law prepared mixed noodles, and she generally milled the bean noodles in advance, sifted out the fine bean noodles with a basket for retention, and fed the coarse ones to the chickens. Generally, the twenty-ninth evening begins to roll out the mixed noodles, first put the prepared bean noodles and flour according to a certain proportion of live, knead into a dough, knead into a piece of agent by hand, roll the agent into a large dough with a long rolling pin, fold into a stack of long strips and then cut into noodles, after the agent is completed, put it on the top of the cover to dry, fry the marinade the next morning, pour it on the boiled mixed noodles, it is a bowl of delicious mixed noodles. At this time, I always sigh that no matter how good the delicacy is, it is just such an ordinary bowl of mixed noodles, which is the taste of my mother-in-law.
In the spring of 2023, my mother-in-law passed away, and I won't be able to eat the hand-rolled noodles made by my mother-in-law during the Chinese New Year this year. Think about the previous years are mother-in-law herself to prepare all kinds of New Year's things, we go home on work and holidays to celebrate the New Year directly, come back is just to start, and this year I have to take on the responsibility of this daughter-in-law, as a daughter-in-law mother, this year has experienced the difficulty of the mother-in-law, I feel that the mother-in-law is not easy, always inadvertently think of the mother-in-law, think of her bits and pieces, she is a good daughter, a good daughter-in-law, a good daughter-in-law, a good mother-in-law, a good grandmother, a good neighbor, no one around me does not praise her, she is my role model, I want to inherit her good character, look up to her, and be a good daughter, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and mother.
When I got up early on the 29th of the first month, I went to the morning market to buy mixed noodles made by others, and waited for the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve to eat. Due to insufficient preparation, I didn't cook the meat in advance or slightly freeze it in the refrigerator to cut it, so I had to use fresh meat and cut it into thin strips. Cut the meat to remind yourself that you should cook cooked meat in advance or slightly freeze it in the refrigerator for the Chinese New Year, so that it is easy to cut and fried. The father-in-law burned the turtle gas stove in advance, put it in the pot, first put the cut fat meat and fry the oil, add green onions, ginger, pepper noodles, etc., then put the cut lean meat and fry, add the cut slender cabbage and fry for a while, then add water, soy sauce and other stews, and wait until the stewed cabbage is soft, and the marinade is ready. This year, due to the tight schedule, my father-in-law was in the process of frying the marinade, I first went to clean, sweep the yard, clean up the kitchen, clean up the block, put the shelves at the door neatly, and throw away the things that should be thrown away. Usually at home I also like to save things, reluctant to throw, years ago the girl to clean the house, the things that should not be thrown away, the home cleaning upright, clean, look at it to make people bright. Now I'm cleaning in my hometown, thinking that I should give it up, throw away the things that I don't use, and sort out the things that can be used, don't put them indiscriminately, it makes people uncomfortable. I forgot to boil water to cook the noodles first, and when my father-in-law fried the marinade and was ready to eat, I hadn't cooked the noodles yet, so I really forgot to use the overall planning method. So I immediately stopped what I was doing, went to the kitchen, turned on the gas, boiled water in a cauldron, boiled the noodles, and then went to tidy up the block, and when the noodles were cooked, I also sorted them out. So I put the noodles in bowls, and the girl scooped the prepared marinade with a spoon, one bowl for each person, and then served the insufficient noodles until they were full. In the past, I could eat 2 bowls of noodles made by my mother-in-law, but now I pay attention to **, and I am full after only one bowl.
A bowl of ordinary mixed noodles, although there is less taste of mother-in-law, but a bowl of steaming mixed noodles to eat the family is psychologically warm, while replenishing nutrition and energy for the family, it condenses the atmosphere of a family member, makes an end to the work and life of the year, and at the same time implies the beginning of a new year, full of hope and motivation.
