我们家准备了很多腌制的菜，比如腊肉、酱肘子、腌萝卜等等，都是过年必备的。

We've prepared a lot of pickled dishes, such as cured pork, braised pork knuckle, pickled radish, etc., all of which are essential for the New Year.

听起来真不错！腌制食品是中国传统饮食文化的重要组成部分吧？

tīng qǐlái zhēn bùcuò！yánzhì shípǐn shì zhōngguó chuántǒng yǐnshí wénhuà de zhòngyào zǔchéng bùfèn ba？

Sounds delicious! Pickled food is an important part of traditional Chinese food culture, isn't it?

是啊，腌制食品不仅味道好，而且可以长时间保存，尤其是在过去物资匮乏的年代，更是重要的食物储备。

shì a, yánzhì shípǐn bùjǐn wèidào hǎo, érqiě kěyǐ chángshíjiān bǎocún, yóuqí shì zài guòqù wùzī kuīfá de niándài, gèng shì zhòngyào de shíwù chǔbèi.

Yes, pickled food not only tastes great but can also be stored for a long time, especially in the past when resources were scarce, they were an important food reserve.

那你们家腌制这些菜有什么特别的讲究吗？

nà nǐmen jiā yánzhì zhèxiē cài yǒu shénme tèbié de jiǎngjiu ma？

So, do you have any special requirements for pickling these dishes in your family?

我们家腌制腊肉，要选用上好的猪肉，再用食盐、花椒、八角等香料腌制，至少要腌制一个月才能吃。腌萝卜的话，我们要选择脆嫩的萝卜，再用盐、糖、醋等腌制，时间短一些。

wǒmen jiā yánzhì làròu, yào xuǎnyòng shànghǎo de zhūròu, zài yòng shíyán、huājiāo、bājiǎo děng xiāngliào yánzhì, zhìshǎo yào yánzhì yīgè yuè cái néng chī。yánluóbo de huà, wǒmen yào xuǎnzé cuìnèn de luóbo, zài yòng yán、táng、cù děng yánzhì, shíjiān duǎn yīxiē.

For our cured pork, we use high-quality pork and marinate it with salt, peppercorns, star anise, and other spices. It needs to be marinated for at least a month before it can be eaten. For pickled radishes, we choose crisp radishes and marinate them with salt, sugar, vinegar, etc. It takes less time.

真用心！看来腌制食品里也包含着许多文化和技艺。

zhēn yòngxīn！kàn lái yánzhì shípǐn lǐ yě bāohánzhe xǔduō wénhuà hé jìyì。

Very thoughtful! It seems that pickled food also contains many cultural and technical elements.
