On the eve of the Spring Festival, I occasionally saw the "Chinese Year, Chinese Taste, Lighting up Chinese New Year's Eve" jointly organized by Anhui Youth Daily and Gujing Group to welcome the New Year theme cultural and creative competition notice, and the eyes immediately lit up, although the brain has not yet mature structure, but I think at least I can eat the New Year's food out of the fun realm. So he led his sister and brother's children to form a team and plan a plan.
Because this year's Spring Festival is the first Spring Festival to fully enter the well-off society, and it is also the Year of the Tiger, these elements must be reflected. In what form it is embodied, everyone invariably thinks of food. After some discussion, it was agreed that we had no advantage in terms of exquisite dishes alone, and that it would only make sense if they were given cultural meaning. I said that I was going to compete, but at first I didn't expect to win the prize, otherwise I would have dragged the exquisite cutlery from the storage room to prepare it carefully, instead of using the old cutlery from my home.

The first dish is fried small crispy fish, posed as an effort to swim forward, with the caption "Like a carp crossing the river people thriving", which means social progress and talent.
The second course is fried with quail eggs and noodles, with the caption "Waist Gold Belt Brocade into the Well-off".
The third course is made of carrot slices wrapped in meat foam and arranged in the shape of firecrackers, with the text "Sound firecrackers resign from the old age".
The fourth course is a round dish with slices of white radish half wrapped in a meat filling with cabbage, filled with meat in the middle, and beaten with an egg on top. This is a dish of steamed eggs that I sometimes make in my cafeteria when I was in college, and the dish is called Sun Egg, which costs 5 servings for 2 cents. Whenever this dish appears, I don't hesitate to order it, even if I only eat 5 cents a small green vegetable at night. The caption of this dish is "prosperous and auspicious", and the use of "steaming" is also because this dish is steamed.
The fifth dish is clear seared asparagus, sprinkled with orange carrot shreds on the turquoise asparagus, with the text "Lu Biluo orange spring comes early", which means that people are diligent in spring and early, and also symbolizes the arrival of spring, the growth of all things, full of vitality, and the secret coincidence of Su Shi's "Short Reed Buds in the Ground", "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet".
The sixth course is braised prawns decorated with broccoli, red and green, with the text "Yi honghua green and joyful".
The seventh course is to arrange the spring rolls into a staggered, rugged mangshan mountain, placing the tiger on the mountain, implying that this tiger is not a tiger of the plain, but also means that he belongs to the tiger, although sometimes fell into Pingyang and was eaten by the evil dog, but also laughed, with the caption "The tiger is in the spring plate now and in the past".
The eighth is the muffin cake I made, and the New Year cake is prepared in a metaphor for auspiciousness, with the text "Cake Table Tiger Smiles and Issaive". I wanted to use the word "tiger roar" to perform the power of the king, but when I think about the New Year, I am still peaceful, happy, and stealing pleasure, so the tiger's beard is upturned.
Eight dishes with eight sentences, saved into small poems, hurriedly submitted on the closing date, and then forgot. Suddenly, I received a notice that my dishes won the only grand prize in more than 300 entries, which was a great joy!

Today, my understanding of foodies has entered another level, foodies are not only good teeth and appetite, but also good craftsmanship (sixty years of modesty, proud today). Eating enough to eat and eat out of the culture is the higher demand that people have after meeting the food and clothing, and it is the inevitable trajectory of its logical development, if you are only satisfied with saying that the brothers are good, the five leaders are ah, the four seasons are rich, the six six six ah... should not have entered a higher level. If you can enter the ancestors to make a few close friends, to the wild stream, or the piano and chess suitability, or the flow of the water... in Shanghainese or "quite a tone" of the mood, there may be another affection. It is precisely because of the honey friend Qushui and the good wine flowing that there are Qunxian improvised poems, and Xi Zhi took advantage of the excitement to write the world's first line of the book "Orchid Pavilion Collection". Compared with them, modern people are really a bit weak, although the restaurant is luxurious, the tableware is exquisite, and the recipe is wider, but where is the culture? By the way, only the two little tigers sitting on the spring rolls were bought from the supermarket, and the rest were self-created.

Thanks again to Anhui Youth Daily and Gujing Group, gave my family this opportunity, so that we can enjoy the food at the same time enjoy the production process, but also have a better understanding of Chinese cuisine and Chinese culture, presumably since then, my niece and little niece can ensure that they are not hungry when they do not want to order takeaway, but also create a little cultural atmosphere.
