The older generation of Hubei people follow this tradition. During the New Year, there are two dishes that must be cooked, one is meatballs and the other is fish balls. In Hubei, meatballs are called "Yuanzi" or "Yuanzi", while fish balls are called "Yuyuan" or "Yushen". <br />I remember when I was a child, every night on New Year's Eve, the children at home would be watching TV or setting off firecrackers, while the women at home would be chopping meat or fish. After the chopping was over, it was the turn of the men at home to come on stage, rolling up their sleeves and waving their arms to beat hard. At that time, there were no modern tools such as mixers, and making fish balls or meatballs was all up to manpower. At that time, on New Year's Eve, dozens of people would eat the reunion meal together. Grandma always had to make a lot of meatballs and fish balls, and the reunion meal was finished. Ask each family to bring some back, so the workload of chopping and beating meat can be seen as average! In my impression, when making fish balls and meatballs on the night of New Year's Eve, I used a large basin for bathing to fill filling. In the twelfth lunar month of the cold winter, my father went into battle with bare arms. Although he was sweating, his face was full of joy. Because it was the New Year and reunion. After a year of hard work and frugality, everyone sat together with Meimei and had a sumptuous New Year meal, which was the best reward for themselves and their families. <br />I wonder if this New Year's Eve dinner mixed with sweat, noise and laughter still exists in your memory?
Today, make a quick and delicious family banquet dish "West Lake Vinegar Fish". This fish is simple to make and delicious, making it most suitable for making family banquets. <br />According to legend, the origin of "West Lake Vinegar Fish" comes from the story of "Uncle and Sister-in-law Zhuan Zhen". It is said that in ancient times, Song brothers lived by the West Lake and made a living by fishing. The local villains wanted to occupy their sister-in-law, kill their brother, and harm their uncle. Aunt Song advised her uncle to flee. Before leaving, she specially fired a grass carp with sugar and vinegar to bid him farewell, encouraging him to "never forget the bitterness of the people." <br />Later, my uncle gained fame and returned to his hometown to become a clean official in his hometown. He loved the people like a son and was deeply loved by the people. In response to a report from the local people, he killed the bully to eliminate the people, and also avenged his brother. He ate a special sweet and sour fish dish at an accidental banquet. He finally found his sister-in-law who had fled abroad for many years. He resigned from his official position and resumed his old fishing business. Later generations followed suit and cooked it,"West Lake Vinegar Fish." This dish was also known as "the secret of uncle and sister-in-law", and the origin of West Lake Vinegar Fish has been passed down for a long time.
