When it comes to making pig jelly, Chen Mo is incredibly experienced.
In the countryside during the New Year, pig jelly is an essential delicacy for every family.
Mothers boil pig skin in a large iron pot for a long time until the gelatin in the skin is fully infused into the broth. They then filter it slightly before pouring it into a huge stainless steel bowl.
Typically, this mixture needs to be stored in a cool room to solidify into pig jelly more quickly.
But, coincidentally, the mischievous sons of the house often end up being assigned to the storage room.
One year, when Chen Mo was only fourteen, a seventeen-year-old cousin came from the city during the twelfth month. The two of them stayed in the storage room in the countryside.
It just so happened that Chen Mo's mom made pig jelly that day.
