Wrapping and eating dumplings is one of the major customs of the Chinese New Year, and when the Chinese New Year arrives, these customs are of course unavoidable.

In the afternoon, I decided to learn how to make dumplings from my grandfather. I've eaten dumplings many times before, but I've never helped an adult to make dumplings, so I'm sure I can learn how to make dumplings this time!

Only Grandpa skillfully picked up a dumpling skin, used chopsticks to pick up the meat filling and put it on the dumpling skin, dipped it in some water, and then pinched and softened it with his hands, and a perfectly shaped dumpling was born. Look, this dumpling is holding a general's belly, very elegant, not too much meat in the dumpling, not overflowing, and the belly is not flat, so it can be said that it is a very perfect dumpling. I watched my grandfather skillfully wrapping the dumplings, heart envy, also can not wait to pick up a dumpling skin, full of confidence to wrap up.

I put the bottle of dumpling skin in the palm of my hand, picked up a spoon full of meat filling in the middle of the dumpling skin, and then dipped some water, the dumplings on both sides of the skin through the water to stick together, but at this time, the mischievous meat doll suddenly stretched out his head, curious about a large number of the world, no matter what means I use, the meat doll is not listening to me, so that I was busy with a messy hand, I not only distressed up, this should be! I'm not only distressed, this is how to do it?

Grandpa seemed to have read my mind and said to me with a smile, "Jiaojiao, you can't have too much or too little meat in the dumplings, if there is too much meat it will overflow, if there is too little it will make the shape unattractive, got it?"

I smiled and nodded, oh, so that's how it is! It seems that making dumplings is not an easy task. Although I failed to make dumplings for the first time, I'm sure I'll succeed if I keep trying! Failure is the mother of success! I'm sure I can do it!

So, I picked up another dumpling skin, as usual, this time, I learned from the last lesson, the meat will not put more or less, this time, the meat doll is finally not naughty, it obediently lying in the small bed I made for it, comfortable sleep, this dumpling package success! The shape is not as perfect as Grandpa's, but it is very unique and has a one-of-a-kind style. I couldn't have been happier to see it. In no time, I had made more than a dozen dumplings, all of which were very cute and I was very excited.

At this time, grandpa will we pack the dumplings under the kitchen, soon, I made the dumpling doll is fresh out of the oven, I will I make the dumplings to grandpa first tasted one, grandpa carefully tasted, couldn't stop praising: "Well, delicious!" My mom and dad ate the dumplings I made and kept praising me for being smart and capable. The elders were overflowing with joy, and I smiled happily.

Wrapping and eating dumplings is a traditional custom of the Spring Festival in China, and we should inherit these customs and carry them forward~!
