4 packs of cold water or warm water with warm water for jiaozi.
When you make jiaozi, you'd better use warm water to make dough.

At the same time, it is not suitable to use cold water to mix dough, so the dough is hard and the taste is not very good. So try to use warm water when wrapping jiaozi noodles, so that the noodles will be more elastic and the wrapped jiaozi will be more chewy.
