For example, my grandmother would recall her days in the countryside when she was a child, when the family raised pigs and chickens, and every Spring Festival she would kill pigs and chickens and prepare a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve meal. And now, although the living conditions are better, my grandmother still insists on using pork and chicken cooked by herself to welcome every Spring Festival. This is not only a kind of adherence to tradition, but also an emotional sustenance for home.

The braised pork is fat but not greasy, and melts in the mouth; Kung Pao chicken is golden in color, spicy and delicious. And these two dishes are also grandma's specialties, and they are her capital to show off in front of her family and friends.
