包餃子 Making Dumplings大綱

Inmy hometown, there is a tradition that every family would keep—making dumplings. We usually makedumplings on the last day of the lunar calendar and eat them on the New Year’sEve. We roll the dough into pieces and prepare the stuffing. And then we canmake dumplings. There is an important thing need to do in this period. That iswe usually put coins into some dumplings. Those people who eat the dumping witha coin in it will get the best wishes for the next year. The final step isboiling the dumplings. At this time, all people are waiting for the dumplings. Forus, it’s the best New Year’s Eve dinner.

在我家鄉，有一個每家每戶都保持的的傳統，那就是包餃子。我們通常會在除夕當天包餃子、吃餃子。我們擀麪皮，準備餃子餡兒，然後就可以開始包餃子了。在包餃子時，一定要做的一件事就是把硬幣放在一些餃子裏，誰能吃到餡裏有硬幣的餃子意味着在新的一年裏好運連連。最後一步就是煮餃子，這時候，所有人都在等餃子出鍋。對於我們來說，餃子就是我們最好的年夜飯。
