When there was only pork trotters, they just had to freeze them and cut them into thick slices before preparing a bowl of dipping sauce.
Of course, they could also eat them directly, but the taste would be a little bland.
Frozen pork trotters were not troublesome to make. In addition, the weather was cold here, and they could eat it for a long time after boiling it once. They just had to freeze it outside.
But even so, not every family would prepare for it.
One or two pork trotters were not expensive, but if they wanted to prepare enough frozen pork trotters for their guests, it was not something that could be done with just one or two pork trotters.
If they had the money to buy pork trotters, they might as well buy streaky pork and make it into braised pork. It would be more dignified and popular.
The Pei family was not short of money now, so of course, they would not make a choice. They wanted everything.
On the 29th, they did not idle around. They had to clean the house.
Although Wang Cuilan was a very diligent and hygienic person, she usually kept the house clean and tidy.
However, cleaning before the New Year was not only for cleanliness, but also for a sense of ritual.
The whole family cleaned up together, cleaning up every nook and cranny.
They did not know if it was really clean, so they felt that the house looked brand new, or if it was because they had worked hard, so it was a psychological effect.
In any case, when Jiang Ran looked at the rooms again, he felt that they all looked brand new.
The weather was originally quite cold, but because they were busy, they were even sweating slightly. They did not feel any heat at all.
On New Year's Eve.
When they woke up in the morning, they had to paste the New Year pictures and couplets.
After the red New Year pictures and couplets were pasted, the entire courtyard seemed to be livelier. The originally quiet courtyard seemed lively and lively.
Pei Jing was small and could not help much, but he ran around at the side as if he could participate in the process.
After pasting the New Year pictures and eating breakfast, they had to prepare the dumplings again.
During the New Year, they had to eat dumplings.
On New Year's Eve, they had to eat dumplings on the morning of the first day of the New Year.
From the second day of the New Year onwards, they had to cook dumplings when guests came over.
Although dumplings were delicious, it was also more troublesome and time-consuming.
Therefore, on New Year's Eve, a large portion of the dumplings would be made and placed outside to freeze. Then, they would be stored outside.
The temperature outside was negative 10 to 20 degrees Celsius. It could be said that it was a natural refrigerator. There was no need to worry about anything going bad.
Of course, considering the texture, she couldn't make too many dumplings. It was enough to last until the sixth day of Chinese New Year.
Other than Pei Jing, everyone in the Pei Family knew how to make dumplings.
Although Pei Jing doesn't know how to make dumplings, he is also eager to try. He wants to help with the dumpling skin.
His hands were small, and his strength was not great. The shape of the dumpling skin was not very regular, but no one disliked it.
Not only did they not despise him, they even praised Pei Jing for doing a good job.
This was not because of family ties, but because Pei Jing was at his age. To be able to roll like this was already very good.
Although Pei Jing was not very good at rolling, the dough was soft. After holding it in his hand, he could pinch it with his fingers and use it to make dumplings without any delay.
Everyone had their own way of making dumplings. Therefore, the dumplings they made were all different.
But this was not important.
No matter what the dumplings looked like, it would not delay eating.
