After cleaning up, Feng Qingxue chopped up the leeks she had previously washed and dried, mixed them with scrambled eggs, added seasonings, and set them aside. She then minced clean spring onions and ginger and mixed them into the meat filling that Lu's father had chopped.
In their traditions, they eat dumplings with meat fillings on New Year's Eve and dumplings with vegetarian fillings on the first day of the New Year.
Although in Buddhism, leeks and eggs are considered as non-vegetarian, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are considered vegetarian fillings.
Their rule is simple: if it doesn't contain meat, it's vegetarian.
Feng Qingxue was well-prepared, all to ensure the Lu Family had a good New Year celebration.
After Lu's father chopped the meat filling, she cut a piece of well-rested dough into small pieces, coated both sides with some flour, and pressed them flat.
