英语情景会话
(以下B代表Bryan.C代表Cherry)
B:What's for dinner today, honey?
C:I'm making dumplings.
B: Wonderful. What would you like me to do?
C: You prepare the fillings. Chop the filling ingredients and then mix a variety of vegetables into the pork well. Don't forget to add some salt to the stuffing.
B: OK. Oh. you are rolling the dumpling wrappers. That is the tricky part. It's best to get them pretty thin, right?
(After the fillings and wrappers have been prepared)
C: We're filling the dumplings now. Just put a small amount off fillings on the wrapper and then fold the edges of the wrapper together to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges together well.
B: Oh, it's important to seal the edges appropriately. Otherwise, the dumplings may lose their fillings when you cook them.
C: You get it. So, let's be careful.
( While dumplings are boiling)
B: How soon will they be ready?
C: Very soon, please set the table.
