It's the Dragon Boat Festival in two days. Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is a traditional festival in China to commemorate Qu Yuan. In some places, it is also called Duanyang Festival and Chongwu Festival. We all know that the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi and race the dragon boat. Of course, the customs of every place are different. In some places, people will eat Sophora japonica on the Dragon Boat Festival. So are there any customs we don't know about during the Dragon Boat Festival? Today, let's talk about the delicious food suitable for the Dragon Boat Festival. Today, I will briefly list several kinds: Monopterus albus, tea eggs, fried piles (that is, hemp balls), Ai Mo, pancakes and mung bean cakes.

Let's talk about the customs of our hometown first. When I was a child, on the Dragon Boat Festival, my family would prepare a new suit for the elderly and children at home. From the first day of May to the fifth day of May, there are five days in total, and we eat delicious food in different ways every day. Eat cakes on the first day, peaches on the second day, conch on the third day, steamed buns on the fourth day, tea eggs and zongzi on the fifth day. Therefore, when I was a child, the Dragon Boat Festival was no less than the feeling of Chinese New Year, and it was every child's favorite festival. Pastry refers to mung bean cakes and peaches. In Fujian, there are only peaches and peaches. Many people simplify Mo as hanging absinthe, so there is no need to say more about Zongzi. Duck eggs. Why? It is said that eating duck eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival can make you not afraid of thunderstorms and not get hurt in the rain. You know, there are too many thunderstorms in summer in southern Fujian.

Let's talk about why we should eat eel during the Dragon Boat Festival. There's nothing extra to pay attention to, but it's just right to eat eel at that time. Around the Dragon Boat Festival, Monopterus albus is the most nutritious and the fish is the most tender all year round. Eating Monopterus albus in this season can not only maintain the best nourishing effect of Monopterus albus, but also maintain the most delicious taste. So it's often said? Have eels competed with ginseng in the Dragon Boat Festival? .

Many places like to eat hemp balls on the Dragon Boat Festival. In southern Fujian, we call it pile blasting. People in some places call it hemp ball. How to do it specifically? Glutinous rice flour is used as the main raw material, and a certain proportion of flour and sugar are added. It should be made into pulp, and then fried in a pot, similar to the existing hemp balls. It tastes sweet and full of Q flavor. Every household in southern Fujian will make some fried piles during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is legendary. The rainy season in Fujian is around the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that frying on Dragon Boat Festival can keep out the rain. This is the same as the tea duck egg on the Dragon Boat Festival.
