Kill New Year's pigs, beat rice cakes, and make tofu.
Most rural families in Anji have the custom of killing pigs for the New Year, and it is an important thing for farmers to celebrate the New Year with rice cakes and tofu. Now killing pigs for the New Year is not as important as before, but there is still a custom of killing pigs for the New Year every year.
At the end of each year, every rural household is busy, and the family prepares soybeans and glutinous rice, soaked in water to prepare for the New Year, grinding old tofu, and beating rice cakes. The pigs in the family are also fat and strong, and they all depend on it for the New Year. There is a habit of killing pigs in the countryside during the New Year, who kills the pigs and the neighbors have to come to the field, after the pig is killed, the pig's head, feet, and fresh meat chopped off, dried for a few days, in addition to entertaining the neighbors to eat, the rest are marinated into bacon.
At that time, whoever had more bacon and more sun-dried meat would have a better life. The amount of bacon also represents a symbol of the affluence of life in the countryside of Anji at that time. The most important thing for the New Year's pig rice is that the host's family invites neighbors, relatives and friends to eat the New Year's pig rice.
The New Year's pig rice is mainly pork-based, pig's blood, tofu, roasted vermicelli, winter bamboo shoots, farmhouse chicken, etc., and there are at least ten bowls of dishes per table. Of course, the drinks are the local favorites rice wine and home-brewed Anji Tumi wine, red yeast wine, etc. The neighbors let go of their bellies to eat and drink.
In the past, relatives and friends in the local countryside were busy with their own farm work all year round, and it was rare to be together. Now the shrewd owner of Anji Farmhouse has introduced the custom of killing pigs for the New Year to the market, as long as the appropriate money is paid, and the self-driving guests who come to Anji are also involved.
The wooden fish is served only to see and not eat.
According to some local elders, they could not even afford fish because of the difficulties they had in the past. But there are fish and meat in the New Year, and "more than enough every year" is a symbol of wealth in the coming year. Therefore, it can only be replaced by wooden fish, and there is another rule when fishing:
Generally, when the fish is served, the head of the fish rushes at the guest to show respect for the guest. Some elderly people said that although there were many wild fish at that time, it was still very difficult to catch them in winter. Therefore, it can only be replaced by wooden fish.
