Shanxi people love to be jealous, this is a thing recognized by everyone.

Shanxi people cannot do without vinegar in every meal. If there is no vinegar, they always feel uncomfortable.

It's very simple. If you go to Shanxi to attend some banquets, you will always feel bland without vinegar. This is a eating habit, just like Sichuan people who don't have chili peppers, they always feel that many ingredients will have no taste and feel bland.

As for the traditional Laba Festival, there is a certain reason why people line up to be punished.

Although the Laba Festival falls on the 8th day of the 12th lunar month every year, I have to look down on this festival, but it is the Buddha’s Enlightenment Festival, which is also the day when Sakyamuni Buddha became enlightened. It has slowly formed a custom and become a kind of festival.

During folk festivals, people queue up to carry buckets and play Laba.

In fact, there is a local custom for this festival, that is, they will use vinegar to soak the garlic. The soaked garlic has a name, so it is called Laba garlic.

Every region and province has local cultural customs and some local traditional festivals. For Shanxi, every family will use some bottles and jars to make some Laba garlic.

Although I have never eaten this Laba garlic, I heard from friends that it is quite good. Although the taste is sour, it still looks green, because the garlic itself is a little spicy, so it still tastes quite good.

The production method is also very simple. Just peel the garlic, put it in a container, add some vinegar and soak it, and it will be ready.

Most of what Shanxi people eat is pasta, so we all know that pasta is not that easy to digest, and distance can help digestion.

Naturally, this eating habit gradually formed. Vinegar has a very good effect on our intestines. It can promote gastrointestinal motility and help disinfect some toxic bacteria, so it is naturally accepted by everyone.

After seeing someone eating it, others followed suit and gradually formed a jealous custom.

Due to geographical reasons, Shanxi people are particularly jealous.

Because Shanxi is located on the Loess Plateau, we also know that the Loess Plateau has large temperature differences and the water and soil are more alkaline. A little vinegar can have a neutralizing effect.

Just like Guangdong is relatively coastal and has relatively heavy humidity, so they often like to put some ginger in what they eat to remove moisture from the human body. This is also similar to Shanxi, which is located on the Loess Plateau, so in order to maintain the acid-base balance of the body, they also eat

It’s the same as drinking vinegar to promote good health.

Of course, we have to say here that vinegar still has many effects. It can lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar, and has a certain effect on lowering blood lipids. I usually prefer to put some vinegar in something to eat.
