My hometown is Taiyuan, Shanxi, which is a place with beautiful scenery and a long history.

Our hometown is rich in humanities and geography, whether it is food, historical sites, or several world cultural heritage sites, such as Pingyao Ancient City, Wutai Mountain, etc.

I am proud of my hometown!

There are festivals in life, and folk customs in programs; customs make festivals passed down from generation to generation, and festivals make life colorful.

In the old days, there were festivals every month in Taiyuan, and the most solemn, lively and most charming one was the New Year.

Because our family has a large population, it is very lively during the Chinese New Year.

After the Laba Festival, we were busy preparing for the New Year, and the atmosphere became stronger day by day.

There is a proverb in our hometown: "On the 25th, I grind tofu, on the 26th I go to work, on the 27th I go to the market, on the 28th I paste it, on the 29th I go to make wine, and on the 30th I make dumplings." Because we are from the north.

People especially like to eat dumplings.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the whole family got busy with the New Year's Eve dinner.

Cook the noodles first and then wake them up.

This kind of noodles tastes chewy.

Both mother and grandma are very skillful in their movements. They roll out the dough, fill it with fillings, and pinch it tightly. Their movements are consistent and consistent. The dumplings they make are exquisite and plump, like a handicraft, which makes people reluctant to eat them.

My hands were itchy watching it, and only after my pleading did my mother let me do it.

I followed the picture and learned what my mother did: put the stuffing in the dough and pinch the edges tightly.

Aha!

The first dumplings I made by myself in my life are out of the oven!

But the appearance is rather ugly and flat.

Not only did I not lose heart, I did it one by one, but I remained consistent.

I gave up and just stayed where it was cool!

My hometown also has a lot of delicious food.

Oily pork, hot pot, Dingxiang steamed pork, Wuzhai pork black meat stewed noodles, mutton chowder, etc.

Just looking at it makes people "saliva flow down three thousand feet"!

Shanxi has a wide variety of local products.

Xinghuacun Fen Liquor is an ancient historical wine in China, with a color like crystal jade, pure fragrance and infinite taste; Shanxi mature vinegar is sweet and sour, not only excellent for seasoning, but also good for digestion, beauty and sterilization; Qinzhou yellow millet is shaped like a pearl

, is a royal tribute; Pingyao beef is full of color, aroma and taste.

Every time I eat until I’m full before I give up.
