1, steamed buns: Steamed buns are usually started a few days before New Year's Eve every year. In fact, it is not so much steamed bread as steamed buns, because steamed buns are usually stuffed. Bian Xiao remembers that in previous years, when steaming steamed bread, he would knead the noodles the night before, ferment them in a jar for one night, get up before dawn the next day, then wrap the stuffing and steam them in a steamer. When the golden rooster breaks dawn, the morning light is everywhere, and a cage of steamed bread is freshly baked.

2. Steamed rice cake: While steaming steamed bread, a rice cake will be steamed by the way. This kind of rice cake is different from the small oval one. It is usually large and made of glutinous rice. Cut them before you are going to steam them in the pot.

3. Making bacon: Every year, the balconies of every household in Nantong are covered with homemade bacon and sausages. Just, be sure to hang it higher to prevent the cat from cheating.

4. ancestor worship: the folk saying is "burning classics." In addition to the "Three Ghosts Festival", Nantong people should also burn scriptures to worship their ancestors during the winter solstice, off-year and New Year. Every year at noon on New Year's Eve, Bian Xiao's family will put food and candles on the table, kowtow to their ancestors, then burn paper and invite them home for a reunion dinner. After a series of procedures are completed, we can officially start eating lunch. There are also some exquisite families who visit the graves themselves.
