　　Frozen Meat

　　On the third evening of the Yi New Year celebration, families select some pork, remove the bones, cut it into small pieces, and boil it until tender. The meat and broth are then poured into a wooden bowl to cool. It typically solidifies by the next day and is ready to eat. When visiting the wife’s family during the New Year holidays, frozen meat is an essential gift, allowing elders to enjoy tender and flavorful food. In addition to these visits, several bowls are kept at home as a special dish to serve honored guests.
