It's better to eat noodles on a rainy day. There's a slang in the north, which is called "jiaozi lies on its head, and pancakes stand on its eggs on its feet". First of all, the three kinds of food contained in this proverb are mainly related to flour. The difference is that these three kinds of food have very different meanings in folk "recipes": jiaozi is a festive food, noodles are the most common, and pancakes and eggs are dry food and nutritious meals. According to the living conditions at that time, people summed up and formed such a proverb, which is widely representative in real life.
A long time ago, the living conditions of ordinary people were limited: eating jiaozi on the head was a bit of a celebration of the wheat harvest and welcoming the holidays; Midnight summer, reduced activity, poor appetite, comfortable eating noodles and saving food; Eat dry food, nutritious meals, pancakes and eggs in dog days to keep fit and welcome the autumn harvest.
Other food in dog days
1 wonton
In some southern areas, such as Shanghai, people want to eat wonton. In fact, for southerners, wonton and jiaozi are almost a kind of food. Shanghainese have the saying "Toufu Wonton Erfu Tea". Compared with dumplings, wonton is thin and transparent after cooking. In addition, it takes a short time to cook wonton, and cold water needs to be added several times to ensure it is cooked thoroughly. Another point is that dumplings are heavily dipped and wonton is heavily souped, especially in Guangdong. Chicken soup and meat and bone soup are the first choice for soup base.
2. Chicken
Nanchang "eats chickens and ducks in the first place", and Hunan and Jiangxi are adjacent, and the first place is also eating chickens. Relatively speaking, people in Jiangxi and Hunan eat chicken in dog days, which is quite scientific. As the folk saying goes, "Eat a chicken in ups and downs, and it will keep you healthy for a year." People consume more physical energy in dog days, so they should be properly supplemented with nutrition.
3. Mutton
"Pengcheng Fu Yang has a bowl of soup, and you don't need a doctor to prescribe it." As we all know, mutton is a sweaty food, and it is the best food in winter. However, Xuzhou people face up to difficulties and eat mutton with red pepper in the hottest summer of the year. "Fu Yang Festival" is a traditional festival in Xuzhou. From the beginning of the first day of crouching every year, in the following month, Xuzhou people gathered in various hotels, restaurants, mutton restaurants and barbecue stalls to eat mutton and drink mutton soup, so they ate mutton.
