Back in Beijing, people are making their preparations for the New Year’s Eve celebrations.

And we found we've had an invitation that’s too good to turn out turn down.

难怪我觉得怎么听，意思都不对……

Now look as you well know there’s one thing Dave and I love to do on our travels, and that’s cook with love of people in that local people in their homes.

他这个local吞得也太多了…… 都怪自己渣，哭唧唧

There’s never a moral … more anthentic experience than seeing how things are done for real. And tonight is a special night.

原来还可以这么表达，好像比there's nothing better than高级一点哎

It’s New Year’s Eve!

So, this is the equivalence of seeing how families in UK will cook their Christmas dinner!

我居然忘了这是虚拟语气！！！

I can't wait. I'm excited.

Hello, Xin Nian Kuai Le.

Zhang Yan who have invited to dinner earlier has asked us to help her and her family to make a traditional meal for tonight’s celebrations.

This is my uncle, my husband and … And this is my aunty and mum, they are in the preparations for dinner already.

坑爹啊。原来是are in，我 一直听成是dying……

We are going to be making one of my favorite things in the whole world – dumplings.

Out in the dinning room, Yan’s dad has already made the start of the filling for the dumplings.

So there's the fennel going in? Yeah, and the mince. Is it pork? Yes, it is pork.

fennel: N-UNCOUNT 不可数名词茴香 Fennel is a plant with a crisp rounded base and feathery leaves. It can be eaten as a vegetable or the leaves can be used as a herb.
不是引战，作为一个广西人，这玩意儿我是真没见过~

That's great party food.

Dave it will be your food. Fresh dumplings. Look dumplings. They used to call me dumpling when I was a baby. Think it's because the way I looked.

杂音太多……

It’s about time we got out got down to the business, what do you think?

这个听不出来就怪不了谁了，long way to go~

To right? I can't wait to get stuck in. This is a master class of dumpling making.

Ok I’ll show you how to do this.
