The marinade used to braise meat at home is naturally too precious to throw away. By adding the pig skin she bought, she can make tender meat jelly, regarded as the finest cold dish of this Monkey Year.
On the 28th, she steamed buns and prepared braised meat jelly, keeping busy until about ten at night.
On the 29th, they were equally busy. This year, they pressed both rapeseed oil and lard, just so they could enjoy some oily dishes during the New Year.
In the morning, she used sweet potato starch and steamed a few trays of sweet potato glass noodles. Unfortunately, there was no meat left, otherwise, it would have tasted even better.
Once the steamed noodles were ready, she placed them on the racks in the hall to cool naturally before setting up an oil pan in the yard to fry tofu, meatballs, and lotus.
