Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 340: Pasting Spring Festival Couplets and Making Dumplings

As long as you cut the pig’s feet jelly into thick slices and prepare a bowl of dipping sauce, that’s enough.

Of course, you can also eat it directly, but the taste will seem a bit bland if eaten that way.

Making pig’s feet jelly isn’t difficult, especially since the weather here is cold; once boiled, it can be eaten for a long time, just let it freeze outside. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

However, even so, not every family prepares it.

One or two pig’s feet aren’t expensive, but if you want to prepare enough pig’s feet jelly for guests, it’s not something that one or two pig’s feet can solve.

If you have money to buy pig’s feet, it’s better to buy pork belly and make braised pork, which is more presentable and more popular.

The Pei Family does not lack money now, so they do not have to choose and decide to have both.

On the 29th, there was no time to relax, as it was time for house cleaning.

Although Wang Cuilan is very diligent and particular about cleanliness, keeping the house spotless on ordinary days.

But a pre-New Year deep clean is not just about cleanliness, it is also a ritual.

The whole family cleans together, making every nook and cranny spotless.

It’s unclear if it’s actually cleaner or if it’s a psychological effect from the effort; the house seems completely renewed.

Anyway, when Jiang Ran looked at the rooms, they seemed brand new.

The cold weather, after a busy time, even caused a slight sweat, and the cold was no longer felt.

New Year’s Eve arrived.

Upon waking up in the morning, the New Year paintings and couplets were put up.

After putting up the red New Year’s paintings and couplets, the whole courtyard seemed to become lively and bustling, making the originally quiet courtyard more vibrant.

Little Pei Jing couldn’t help much, but he ran around here and there, as if this way, he could participate in it.

After putting up the New Year paintings and having breakfast, it was time to start preparing the dumpling filling.

During the New Year here, eating dumplings is a must.

They are eaten on New Year’s Eve night and New Year’s Day morning.

Starting from the second day of the New Year, when guests come, dumplings are also boiled.

Although making dumplings fresh to eat is tastier, it is more troublesome and time-consuming.

So, on New Year’s Eve, a large quantity of dumplings is made, frozen rock hard outside, then packed and stored outside.

The outside temperature is minus ten or twenty degrees, practically a natural big refrigerator, with no worries about things going bad.

Of course, considering taste, not too many dumplings are made, just enough to eat until the sixth day.

Everyone in the Pei family, except Pei Jing, knows how to make dumplings.

Even though Pei Jing doesn’t know how to make dumplings, he eagerly wants to help roll out the dumpling wrappers.

His small hands and little strength resulted in irregularly shaped wrappers, yet no one minded.

Not only did they not mind, everyone praised Pei Jing for doing a good job.

This wasn’t just familial affection, but for Pei Jing’s age, managing to roll like that is actually quite commendable.

Though Pei Jing’s rolling wasn’t very good, the dough was soft, and once in hand, a pinch makes it usable for making dumplings, with nothing delayed.

Each person has their own technique for making dumplings, resulting in dumplings that look different.

But that doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter what the dumplings look like as long as they can be eaten.
