There is a folk song "Twenty-three, Sticking Cakes" in Luxi, Shandong Province. Every year, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the day for every household to steam and eat sticky cakes, which means to stick the mouth of the kitchen god and let him say the good things in the sky, not the bad things on earth. Sticky cakes are made of yellow rice and red dates, which are sweet and rich, and the entrance is soft, meaning "high every year".

3. Sesame candy

There is a saying in the northwest of Shanxi that "you can't chew your fingers with sesame candy." It is said that off-year is the day when the kitchen god goes to heaven. He will report to the Heaven Emperor the food and clothing consumption of the world in the past year and other things that the Heaven Emperor wants to know. That's the chef's report day? Eating sesame candy is to make the mouth of the kitchen god stick with sugar, and you can't report the delicious and luxurious scenes on earth to the sky, so as not to punish those who love to eat and drink-the new year will bring famine, and I hope to have a safe and rich year.
