Most areas in the north eat pasta. Wheat is planted in northern China, and long summer is the season for wheat to appear. Therefore, in most parts of the north, people are used to making and eating pasta in the long summer to celebrate the wheat harvest.

Summer cakes, also known as hemp cakes, have different shapes, such as riding a horse by the champion, sending a child by Guanyin and holding a peach by a monkey.

Spring rolls are made of refined pancakes, wrapped with fried bean sprouts, leeks, shredded pork and other fillings, sealed with flour mixed with egg white, and then fried in a hot oil pan until Huang eats.
