On New Year's Eve, Kang Mingsong woke up at six o'clock in the morning.

His task today is also very heavy, because he has to take care of the New Year’s Eve dinner.

As for cooking, whether it is mother Xiu Chengyan or father Kang Dazhi, they are completely laymen. They basically stay at the level of being able to cook for food. If they want to make a trick, it will be difficult for them to make them.

In fact, before Kang Mingsong entered the fourth grade of elementary school, his grandmother was in charge of the meal at home. In the summer of the fourth grade, after his grandmother passed away, this matter fell on Kang Mingsong's head.

It’s not that Kang Mingsong had that awareness, but that his family was too difficult at that time. His father Kang Dazhi went out to work, his eldest sister Kang Mingmin was already married, and his mother had to work hard on the job, and his second sister Kang Minghui had to feed pigs. Therefore, Kang Mingsong had to take on the relatively simple and easy job of cooking.

Because he has been learning to cook with his grandmother since he was a child, although Kang Mingsong has never studied cooking specifically, his meals are still very good.

Walking out of the bedroom, the cold weather made Kang Mingsong involuntarily fight and subconsciously pulled the hat of the down jacket up.

Although the beginning of spring has passed, the temperature in the morning is still very low in Koshan Village, which is located in a high-altitude area. Not to mention that it is still early February, even in another month, it is not rare to freeze in the morning.

The sky was still very dark, only a few stars in the sky were blinking their tired eyes. A series of cold sounds came from the night owls in the woods not far away, making them particularly quiet.

If you were in the city, you would definitely not see such a bright night sky because the light pollution was too serious.

However, Kang Mingsong soon discovered that he was not the first to get up at home. His father Kang Dazhi was already busy in the kitchen. He was plucking a big rooster who had been killed and scalded with boiling water.

This is also one of the only two things Kang Dazhi needs to do for this year's New Year's Eve dinner, and the other thing is to kill fish.

Kang Mingsong has basically never done anything about slaughtering and slaughtering.

……………………

When Kang Dazhi slaughtered chickens and fish, Kang Mingsong started cooking breakfast.

The breakfast this morning was relatively simple, so I made some random food. Kang Dazhi, who had already processed the chicken and fish, went out with a bag on his back.

He was going to visit the graves of the elders who had passed away from the Kang family.

Today, Kang Dazhi’s main task is to visit the graves of the elders who passed away on both sides. It was the Kang family in the morning. After lunch, it was the Xiu family’s turn.

This job is not easy, because both the Kang family and the Xiu family are big families, and there are many elders who have passed away. Although Kang Dazhi is only carrying a bag now, it is because the main thing for visiting the grave - fireworks and firecrackers - are still in a cousin's shop in the market town.

After Kang Dazhi went to the market town, he would bring the fireworks and firecrackers he had bought, take the car of Kang Ming-yao, a cousin of Kang Ming-yao, and go to his hometown to visit the graves of the elders of the Kang family.

This year, Kang Mingsong's family made a lot of money, so they prepared a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and Kang Dazhi couldn't get them away at all.

There is no saying that fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in Kuaishan Township. For Kuaishan Township, whose vegetation coverage rate exceeds 70%, especially there is almost no emission of industrial waste gas. It is impossible to cause any air pollution by setting off a little fireworks and firecrackers during the Chinese New Year in the year.

Therefore, for some villagers who make a lot of money from working outside, they will take advantage of the Chinese New Year to set off fireworks and firecrackers.

……………………

After Kang Dazhi left, Kang Mingsong started cooking for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

When his mother cultivates her, she will be responsible for helping him, such as burning fire in front of the stove, or preparing hot water.

Kang Mingsong spends most of his time today on the main dish of the New Year’s Eve dinner - soup abalone. This is the first time Kang Mingsong’s family has used such high-end ingredients in the New Year’s Eve dinner in so many years.

If it were in previous years, no one in the family would have been willing to spend money like this. After all, ingredients such as double-headed abalone and three-headed abalone are so expensive that they are just as expensive as several thousand per pound.

At that time, in order to get the down payment for Kang Mingsong to buy a house one day earlier, the whole family wanted to spend a penny in half.

But even though Kang Mingsong made hundreds of thousands this year, when Xiu Chengyan learned that he had spent 10,000 yuan and bought four double-headed abalones, he still scolded him for a long time.

It’s not like this that money is not so bad!

However, the pair of abalones had already been bought and could not return the goods, so Xiu Chengyan had to admit it, but she made three rules with Kang Mingsong, and such a thing must not happen again.

Kang Mingsong agreed happily to his mother's words, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.

He believed that as the family conditions improved day by day, she would gradually change her mindset.

……………………

The dried abalone is soaked in cold water for 48 hours, then in boiling water for a night to stretch naturally and return to its original state. After washing it, put it in a steamer and steam it over high heat for 12 hours.

A large amount of ingredients such as pork bones, pork pork belly, lean pork meat, pork ribs, old hens, ham, etc. are processed into broth after a series of techniques.

Put the stock and dried abalone that has been prepared after hair is put into a casserole and simmer it on low heat for 8 hours. The delicious stock abalone is finished.

Among Chinese delicacies, top-notch dishes such as dried abalone soup and Buddha Jumping the Wall, in addition to exquisite ingredients, the chef also needs to have enough time and patience to cook.

In the past three days, Kang Mingsong has completed all kinds of preliminary preparations. Although this dish is a brand new challenge for him, fortunately, it is the Internet era and has supported the almost omnipotent Baidu blessing. Kang Mingsong has already understood the procedures of this dish.

Kang Mingsong put the broth and hair-made abalone into a huge pottery jar, placed it in a separate small stove and simmered it, and placed iron birch charcoal underneath that could continuously provide stable heat.

Stew the broth and abalone in the pottery jar for 10 hours, and the broth and abalone will blend together and become a top-notch dish.

After the abalone was put on the pot, Kang Mingsong began to focus on other dishes and prepare today's lunch.

In fact, in many families, there is no saying of lunch today, because most families have to serve the New Year’s Eve dinner at two or three in the afternoon, which is not much different from the usual lunch time.
