There are also Qianlong cabbage, hot and sour potato shreds, steamed eggs, tomatoes with sugar, dried tofu with green peppers, and braised eggplant with sauce.
Of course, the most important thing is to have surplus every year.
Before dinner, Zhang Yuan also took out firecrackers.
After the firecrackers have been set off, it's time to officially start eating.
"Here's to the year we've walked together."
"To our friendship."
"Here's to our future."
Because of the white wine specially contributed by Zhan Tianqi and the festive atmosphere, this New Year's Eve dinner was particularly lively.
They toasted each other, drank wine and ate meat.
We ate and chatted, and the meal ended up lasting nearly an hour.
Everyone tacitly skipped the fish dish. As the saying goes, "Year after year, there is abundance," of course it should be left until next year.
There were many dishes today, and the portions were generous. Everyone had been eating well recently, so in the end, apart from the fish, there were quite a few leftovers.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up the kitchen and added water to the pot again.
Because everyone was busy outside today, the fire in the house was out. We had to queue up to take a shower anyway, so we just went to the big kitchen to light the fire.
This was also Xu Manman's suggestion. In her previous life, it was a custom in her hometown. After dinner on New Year's Eve, everyone would take a bath and change into new clothes to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
At this time, no one has the conditions to change into new clothes, but it is still not difficult to take a bath to get rid of the bad luck.
At this time, Xu Manman was not idle either. There was a dumpling dinner in the evening. Everyone could make them together, but she had to prepare the filling first.
Lamb and carrots, pork and green onions, tomatoes and eggs, and a three-fresh filling. Xu Manman also put some dried shrimp in it.
The situation today is special, and it is not convenient for Xu Manman to enter the space. This is her first time to take a proper shower outside.
I took some unscented shampoo and shower gel, scrubbed myself clean from head to toe, and put on new clothes.
I couldn't blow dry my hair, so I had to wrap it in a towel first.
At this time, Chen Ming had already prepared hot water for her to wash clothes, because the main kitchen also needed to boil water for bathing, so he went to Xu Manman's room to boil water separately.
She didn't wash her cotton-padded clothes, as cotton-padded clothes at that time could not be easily washed in water.
When wearing it normally, you need to put on a cover over the cotton-padded jacket, so when you change it, the cotton-padded jacket is still clean and you only need to wash the cover.
When she finished, Chen Ming also came out after washing, wearing the cotton-padded jacket she had made for him before. He looked tall and handsome.
Boys are more durable and just wash clothes with cold water. But she is a considerate cousin, so Chen Ming used the hot water she had just boiled.
Li Xiaolin and Zuxin both have hot water,
In the end, it seems that the only ones who really need to use cold water are those who are single and don’t have a good sister.
I'm not stupid. If there's no hot water, I can just boil it myself.
After everyone had finished packing, they didn't stay in the Youth League Home, but went out with some melon seeds, peanuts and candies in their pockets.
When I opened the door, I saw a few children squatting at the door picking up firecrackers.
When he saw the educated youth coming out, he wanted to run away, but he was reluctant to leave the firecrackers on the ground. His conflicted look made Xu Manman laugh.
Chen Ming walked forward and handed a few peanuts to each of them. "This will explode and hurt your hands. It's too dangerous. Stop playing and go home quickly."
The children who got the peanuts no longer had to worry and ran home happily.
After the children left, a few people asked everyone to clean up the firecracker debris at the door before continuing to walk into the village.
The aroma of meat and coriander still wafted through the village, and the elders were busy in their houses.
Outside, children were running and playing, and young people were gathered in groups of three or four to chat. Everyone's face was filled with the joy of the festival.
Most of the people at the educated youth camp wore new clothes. The others wore clothes that were not new, but they were clean and tidy.
So this group of people walked into the village. The men were tall and handsome, and the women were young and beautiful. They were a pleasing sight to the eyes.
It made people on the roadside look at it sideways.
There were also people I knew who came up to say hello.
Because they had attended literacy classes before, the new educated youth quickly became known to the villagers. Through more communication, they were able to make a few friends who they could talk to.
However, there were no girls on the street at this time, and only boys came up to say hello.
Xu Manman was protected behind Chen Ming and tried to reduce her presence. Occasionally, when someone looked at her, Xu Manman would lower her head and pretend to be blind.
She now tries her best to dress herself in an ordinary way, and wears dark foundation every day. She doesn't want to cause any romantic scandals in her writing.
