At noon on Sunday, we held a birthday party for my father-in-law at Xiangsheng New Century Hotel. The people attending the banquet came from all directions, including relatives from Chengguan, elders far away in the countryside and uncles from Jinhua, Hangzhou. People come to birthday parties with excited smiles and expectations.
The birthday party officially began, and the birthday boy's father-in-law spoke: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this party. Please make yourself at home and help yourself! " Everyone cheered and applauded warmly. Then, the food was served. As the saying goes, good cooking represents the cultural characteristics of a country. How excellent are the chefs in Zhuji? Now let's go and have a taste! Bowls of dishes caught my eye, including fresh and tender yellow croaker, nutritious radish soup, crystal clear stone tofu and even fresh and delicious seafood. There are many delicious dishes, and everyone is happy to eat them. If you don't have enough to eat, you still have to drink. The birthday boy's father and his wife are drinking the famous Shaoxing five-year yellow wine on their table, and the children are drinking juicy orange juice and delicious milk.
Some dishes have been served one after another, such as Nanjing salted duck, a famous dish in Nanjing. It tastes catchy and looks particularly delicious. Such as a big crab, crab meat glittering and translucent in its shell, this dish can be said to be chinese odyssey. There is another dish that must be eaten at a birthday party. It is not a dish, but a bowl of noodles-its name is longevity noodles, and the noodles are tender and chewy. Coupled with delicious soup, it can be said to be perfect. In addition to these dishes, there are some specialties of Zhuji. After a while, the fruit was served. There are healthy watermelons, fresh longan and crisp sugarcane on the fruit plate.
Then, the main dessert of the birthday party-Shoutao came to the table. Shoutao is made of tender glutinous rice flour. Add fine sand to the dough, knead it into the shape of a peach, and then paint it pink, and it becomes a birthday peach. At first glance, it looks exactly like a peach on a tree. When you look closely, it is actually rice flour, and then one side is painted pink and filled with fine sand. The pink outside makes Shoutao more like a peach on a tree, which makes people fondle it.
Shoutao is my favorite snack. As long as you take a bite, there will be sweet sand flowing into your mouth, which will make you memorable. This big basin is especially popular with children. As soon as the snacks were served, they were robbed and emptied.
The flowers, trees, utensils and dishes seen at the banquet all have a unique Zhuji style. What makes us feel gratified is that everyone feels very comfortable. The food we eat, the drinks we drink and the wine we have never seen before. Generally speaking, the birthday party is really spectacular, which makes us speechless and unforgettable.
