The winter solstice is a nostalgic day, and every winter solstice, I always bring myself back to my childhood, so that I can feel the warmth and happiness of my childhood home again. I remember when I was a child, every winter solstice, the family would be busy, my mother was busy chopping stuffing, my father was making noodles, and we children were waiting excitedly, waiting to eat the fragrant "little white goose".
At that time, our dumpling filling was always very rich, with pork green onions, pork leeks, three fresh fillings and so on. I remember that every time I make dumplings, my mother's technique is called skillful, and the speed is fast, and one person can make a lot of dumplings. My brother and sister are not to be outdone, and if they follow their mother's example, they can pack a lot for a while. But I'm just very "uncompetitive", and I can barely wrap one after dancing for a long time, and every time my mother will encourage me to say, "My brother and sister are so much older than you, don't we compare with them, haven't we also learned!."I would always pout and mutter, "I must be able to wrap so much, and I can make dumplings that look as good as my mother's." "Now that I think about it, it's really a warm scene, a warm picture.
Later, I really fulfilled the preface, not only learned to make dumplings, but also became the "big take" of making dumplings at home, and a bag of dumplings, my sister would always say, "You learned our mother's craft, you see the dumplings you wrapped, exactly the same as our mother's bag, round, meaty, so good-looking, I want to eat two more when I look at it", I am very happy every time. But it's a pity that my mother left early, didn't see it, and didn't eat the dumplings I made by myself, which also became a pain in my heart, and every winter solstice, this sadness is especially heavy.
There is a custom of eating dumplings in the north of the winter solstice, remember when my mother was there, the dumplings on the winter solstice are particularly particular, it can be said that it is not less important than the Chinese New Year's Eve, a few days in advance, my mother will go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, meat, ingredients, carefully selected, that is called a heart.
I remember that every year on the winter solstice, my mother will say, "The winter solstice is the last solar term in the solar calendar year, you must do it well, you must eat it well, because the dumplings on the winter solstice are wrapped in the warmth of the whole winter."
Every year on the winter solstice, my mother will mix the meat filling the day before the winter solstice, knead the noodles early on the day of the winter solstice and put them next to the stove, and knead them again every once in a while. People, why do you always lose it, only to understand that it is the most precious?The heartache is here, regret is the deepest pain in life!
I still remember the first time I wrapped a curtain of dumplings, that is also the winter solstice of the year, my mother while wrapping, while teaching me to wrap, look simple, to wrap a dumpling is not simple, not to mention that I decided to wrap a curtain, the size of the skin and filling, how much, how to pinch the gesture, are very particular, and pinch to look simple, but it is the most important part, this I know, no matter how good the front is, no matter how perfect, the side is not pinched in vain, boiled into a piece of soup.
It's the winter solstice season again, thinking about this, looking at the noodles and stuffing on the case, I can't calm down for a long time, looking at the dumplings I wrapped, I pull the time back to the memory of the curtain dumplings.
Winter solstice, there are dumplings, there is a taste of home, this is a special taste, a nostalgic taste, always think of the warmth of the home in childhood, think of the busy figure of mom and dad, think of the happy laughter of our children.
Nowadays, the winter solstice is no longer a simple day, but a nostalgic time, a kind of nostalgia for the fragrant dumplings in memory.
The winter solstice, the solstice of the short days, the solstice of the long shadow of the sun, and the solstice of longing, why not miss the solstice?In this winter solstice season, let's wrap our thoughts into dumplings, find back the warmth and happiness that only belong to the winter solstice, and relive that beautiful memory. Because, the dumplings of the winter solstice are wrapped in the warmth of the whole winter!
