Eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter, so jiaozi became the "spokesperson" of the solstice in winter. Tangyuan, also known as Tang Guo and Tangtuan in Zhoushan, is actually a bowl of sweet Tang Guo in the morning from winter to Sunday according to the custom of the old Zhoushan. "Eating Tang Guo is one year older." After eating, it means that one year has passed and one year has grown older.
Zhoushan's lard dumplings are traditional famous, with white glutinous rice flour as the skin and lard, sugar and black sesame powder as the stuffing. Dumpling skin is thin and smooth, white as sheep fat, shiny, smooth and delicious. Using suspension slurry technology, glutinous rice was made into dry and non-sticky water milling powder; Then, black sesame seeds are cooked and ground into powder, and then diced meat plate oil and white sugar are added and mixed into stuffing; Take water mill powder as skin blank, wrap it in stuffing, knead it into a round shape, put it in a boiling water pot, and sprinkle a little sugar, osmanthus fragrans and red and green silk. It is characterized by white and bright color, waxy but not sticky, smooth skin and moist stuffing, and sweet taste.
It belongs to the same series as eating jiaozi, jiaozi and dumplings. Jiaozi is similar to jiaozi, but its size is smaller than that of jiaozi, and there is no stuffing in it. It means "reunion" and "perfection". The usual practice is to wrap jiaozi in wine. The raw material used to wrap jiaozi was reed powder. Later, reed millet flour was changed into glutinous rice flour, and some people added sweet potato granules to make sweet potato soup. "Fan" and "Fan" are homophonic, which means that after eating sweet potatoes, all previous bad luck will "turn over". The first bowl of jiaozi soup should be served to Kitchen God and then eaten by the whole family.
Red bean porridge is also a winter food on the solstice. Red bean porridge is sweet but not greasy, thin but not thin, extremely refreshing and deeply loved. There is an old saying in Zhoushan that "baked radish rice cakes grow taller every year". The rice cake means that it goes up year after year, and the bad luck turns over, so it naturally goes up year after year. There is also an old saying in Zhoushan that "baked rice cakes with radish are full of excitement", which means that 2008 will be prosperous and lively! "。
During the winter solstice, radish is thrown on the roof tiles, dried by rain and sun, and collected on the wall, commonly known as "winter solstice radish", which is said to cure dysentery. Most of the above customs are no longer beautiful, but after the winter solstice, people still regard it as the tonic season, taking tonic and taking tonic. On the solstice of winter, it is best not to quarrel with others or break things. The elders at home will also tell the children not to cry, which means peace.
