In winter, the daytime is very short. It doesn't dawn until 7: 00 in the morning, and it is dark before 5: 00 in the afternoon. The daytime always lasts less than 10 hours. If you eat three meals, the time interval is very short, so it is normal for many families who don't go to work to eat two meals (those who go to work still have to work for eight hours, which should not be two meals).
The subject asked, do these families eat two meals a day, because it is too troublesome to cook? Or to save a meal? I don't think it's to save a meal. Now that you are rich, you can eat and drink well.
It's not that cooking is troublesome, but I just think it's appropriate to eat two meals.
As we all know, health is the first priority. If you feel hungry, you will immediately cook or find something to eat, and it will not affect your health if you are hungry. What if you cook three meals every 10 hour during the day? Eating one meal every three hours is too dense, and you are not hungry at every meal. You always eat like you are finishing your task, and you will eat too much once you eat it. This will make you feel full all day, which is not good for your health, and it is unnecessary to waste your time on cooking.
Most of these families who don't go to work are older people, and they don't do heavy manual work. In such short weather in winter, two meals a day are suitable for them.
In winter, the daytime is short, the sleeping time is long, it is freezing outside, and there is no exercise. Eating two meals is enough nutrition.
Of course, it is normal for children to go to school with three meals a day.
It's winter vacation, most children eat two meals, and adults will make do with it.
No matter how many meals you eat every day, you are not hungry.
In winter, we also ate two meals, not to bother, nor to save a meal. Mainly because the winter nights are long and the days are too short.
In winter, it doesn't dawn until after seven in the morning here. After cooking and eating, it's past nine o'clock, and we'll have lunch at twelve o'clock soon. It seems that the two meals are too close. It will be dark at five o'clock in the afternoon, and we will have dinner again. The three meals are not far away, and sometimes they are not hungry, so the days are short and the nights are long in winter. Some families eat two meals.
The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and there is nothing to do during the day. You can't eat much after three meals, so don't be busy cooking if you are not hungry.
My family also likes to eat two meals.
After eating in the morning, it's past nine o'clock, and the second meal is good at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Not to save time and food.
Every family has its own living habits. It's good to get used to it. It's okay to eat a few meals. Just like giving birth to a child for a month, some eat three meals; Some eat five meals; Some eat seven meals. It doesn't matter. I'm used to eating a few meals, and there's no reason.
Conclusion:
The days are short and the nights are long in winter, so it's good to have two meals during the day. As long as you get used to it, there is no reason.
Aunt Daling in the northeast knows this thing too well. My answer must be correct!
In winter, there are indeed many families who eat two meals! In fact, it is a rural family in Northeast China. In winter, many families eat two meals, because there is no farm work in Northeast China and it is very cold. People call this season Cat Winter! It's not too much trouble to cook an extra meal, let alone to save a meal! Because the days are short and the nights are long in winter in Northeast China, and it doesn't get bright until 7: 00 in the morning, and then it doesn't get up so early when there is nothing to do. There is also the fact that people in Northeast China are used to wrapping sticky bean bags in winter, making a lot of them and putting them in a jar, so they don't worry about going bad in a large natural refrigerator. Then, in winter in Northeast China, people are used to stewing sauerkraut, and the more stewed it is, the more delicious it is. After people get up, they heat up the sauerkraut the night before. Tidy up after dinner, chew some melon seeds, make good food in the evening, pack jiaozi, bake spring cakes and steam steamed buns. Northeastern people like pasta, and then have a stewed pork belly with Chinese cabbage vermicelli, or stewed pork belly with pickled cabbage and frozen tofu. Northeastern people like stewed dishes. In this way, it will be dark at four o'clock in the evening in winter in Northeast China. So eating two meals is a habit formed by the environment!
Why do you say that rural people often eat two meals because they don't go to work? If everyone in the city goes to work, they will follow the habit of three meals a day. In winter in the northeast, people in the city will have a hard time, because it is dark to go to work before dawn and get off work at night. People in the northeast call this situation: getting up early and crawling at night, Northeast dialect!
Eating two meals in winter was a good habit in the Qing Dynasty!
Two meals in winter,
It is also a good habit.
The days are short and the nights are long,
Eating less is healthier.
Winter in the northeast is very cold, because the night is long. Before the winter solstice, the bright days don't light up until half past six. Winter is cold, and farm work is finished. Many people start to stay at home in winter, but many people are reluctant to burn coal to keep warm. Seven or eight o'clock in the morning is the coldest time, and many people are reluctant to get out of bed (there are big kang in the northeast countryside). When the sun comes out, they get up. They have to boil hot water, wash their faces and brush their teeth, cook, eat breakfast at eight or nine o'clock, and some lazy people have not eaten at ten o'clock.
At 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we have to cook with a fire, and it takes more than four o'clock to eat. Some people have to turn on the lights to eat dinner. Before the Winter Solstice Festival in the northeast, the days are the shortest, and it will be dark after four o'clock. It will be dark after five o'clock. Naturally, we can only eat two meals a day, and three meals can't be discharged basically. What's more, there is no heavy physical labor in winter, and we don't digest it!
