It is better to be upside down than comfortable, and it is not as delicious as dumplings. During the free weekend, I found the beef I had in the refrigerator before the New Year, and chopped some radish to make dumplings. Although it is unhealthy to keep the ingredients for a long time, most families in the north have this habit of eating meat, and it is enough for one year to stay.
Seeing that I was making dumplings, September quickly threw down the toy in his hand and ran to help roll the dough. Every time I rolled one, I shouted excitedly: "Mom, do you think I'm rolling it well?" "Dad, do you think I'm rolling it round?" After getting the affirmative answer, I quickly took another one, and I was very busy.
As long as September is willing to participate in the matter at home, I generally will not refuse. The child’s potential is unlimited, and it will naturally happen after several failures. Besides, she can find fun and a sense of accomplishment in a mess. For me, with the participation of my children, the production process is not so boring. It is always better than two adults who are speechless and relatively speechless.
For me, an authentic northerner, the temptation of dumplings is too great. Although it is more troublesome to make, it takes about a morning to knead noodles, cut meat, chop vegetables, mix fillings, and then wrap them one by one. But I still make it to eat every now and then.
This should be related to the living environment since childhood. Until now, dumplings are a must-have recipe for parents to celebrate all festivals, whether it is Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, Winter Solstice, Summer Solstice, Laba Festival, and birthdays, there is no need to say about the Spring Festival. As the saying goes, "Great cold and small cold, eat dumplings for the New Year." When I was a child, dumplings should be eaten from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the New Year.
I remember that there are many dumplings on New Year's Eve. After dinner, everyone in the family should be called to make dumplings together, which means reunion and fillings, and the filling is not casual. When I was a child, I often ate mutton or celery stuffing. My mother said that it means that the yang energy rises and wealth is thrifty, and the wealth is booming. There will be a few coins in the dumplings this day. Whoever eats them means good fortune in the coming year. Many children get angry because they can't eat coins. Adults can only put the coins in secret and then eat them out before they are willing to sleep happily
The reason why dumplings occupy such an important position in people's diet is because they have a long history. The dumplings are originally named "Jiaoer". It is said that they were the first to create by , the Eastern Han Dynasty , Zhang Zhongjing . It is said that after Zhang Zhongjing retired from Changsha, he encountered famine for many years. He saw many working people suffering from hunger and his ears were frozen. He cooked the cold-removing medicinal materials such as lamb, chili, ginger, etc. in a pot, cut it into pieces, wrap it in dough to treat people. Nowadays, people say that eating dumplings in and without freezing their ears without freezing. This is from here.
Later, people wrapped various ingredients into the noodles and became a kind of delicacy, which has been passed down to this day.
