Head of Household 一家之主

The content of the conversation between the daughter and father is very easy to understand in this video. Nevertheless, I have written out the conversation verbatim to help you.  The conversation is only just over 20 seconds long.

We also say head of household as gê1ziang2 "家長|家长"

Ba1, ua2 gim1rig8 sion6 dian7 ain3 ziah8 lou2 de1ka1

爸 我今日想正慾食滷豬骹|爸 我今日想正欲食卤猪骹

Father, I have thought clearly that I want to eat braised pig’s trotter today.
