After the winter solstice, there is a slight cold solar term, and after the slight cold, there is a great cold. Slight cold and severe cold are the last two of the 24 solar terms. As the saying goes, a slight cold increases the cold and becomes a hockey puck. Let's take a look at what Xiao Han eats in the 24 solar terms. What does Han Xiao eat: Han Xiao eats vegetable rice in Nanjing. In ancient times, Nanjing people attached great importance to Han Xiao, but with the changes of the times, it has gradually faded. Now people can only look for traces in their lives. During the slight cold season, old Nanjing usually cooks rice, and the content of vegetable rice is different. It is very useful to cook short-legged yellow vegetables with sliced bacon, sausage or diced salted duck, and then chop some ginger with glutinous rice, which is very delicious. Among them, dwarf yellow, sausage and salted duck are all famous specialties in Nanjing, which can be described as "Nanjing vegetable rice" and even comparable to Laba porridge. Old Nanjing pays attention to vegetable rice, and its source is estimated to be related to the cold weather. The so-called vegetable rice is to fry vegetables and rice together, and add bacon, sausage, ham and diced salted duck. Among them, short-legged yellow duck and dried salted duck are famous specialties in Nanjing, which are very distinctive in Nanjing. In the past, these seemingly ordinary things could only be enjoyed by people with rich family conditions. People with poor economic conditions are unwilling to add meat, so they bury a spoonful of lard in the vegetable rice. At that time, there was not much oil and water in the dishes, so "lard bibimbap" tasted particularly fragrant. What does Han Xiao eat: Han Xiao eats glutinous rice in Guangdong, which is a tradition in Guangzhou. Han Xiao eats glutinous rice in the morning. In order to avoid being too glutinous, it is generally 60% glutinous rice and 40% fragrant rice. Chop bacon and sausage, stir-fry peanuts, add some chopped green onion and mix them with rice. Glutinous rice means warmth, which is warm from the beginning to the end of the year. Because the sugar content of glutinous rice is higher than that of rice, it feels warm all over after eating, which is conducive to driving out the cold. Theoretically speaking, glutinous rice has the effect of tonifying middle energizer and benefiting qi, and it is most suitable to eat glutinous rice in cold season. What does Xiao Han eat: Eating Laba porridge in the north of Xiao Han is an important folk custom of Xiao Han's solar terms. Before and after the slight cold solar terms, eating such rich hot porridge at this time can not only increase appetite, but also increase the body's heat, thus warming the stomach and dispelling cold. "Records of Yanjing Years Old" records: "Laba porridge is cooked with yellow rice, white rice, glutinous rice, millet, water chestnut, red cowpea, peeled jujube paste and so on. And dyed red peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, white sugar, brown sugar and miscellaneous grapes for external use. All the above foods are sweet and warm, and have the effects of regulating the spleen and stomach, tonifying the middle energizer, invigorating qi and nourishing blood, expelling cold and strengthening the body, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Friends can choose the ingredients of Laba porridge according to their eating habits and physical condition, and the cooked Laba porridge will be more suitable for their physique. What does Han Xiao eat: Han Xiao eats hot chicken soup. Old Nanjing also has the nourishing habit of eating a chicken and an egg every day, so chicken soup and eggs are essential to the dinner table of Han Xiao citizens. It is said that when cooked slowly with slow fire, most of the nutrients in chicken bones and chicken will be dissolved in the soup and easily absorbed by the human body. It is a good tonic for invigorating qi and enriching blood in winter and contains a lot of calcium. It would be better to use some health care materials for hen stew. Put whatever you have at home, such as red dates, lotus seeds, medlar, longan and so on. Can also be paired with mushrooms, yam, Cordyceps sinensis or scallops and seaweed. It tastes delicious and peaceful. Stew slowly for 2-3 hours, then skim off the grease. Eating and drinking chicken directly, making hot pot soup base, or cooking noodles with chicken soup in the morning are all good. What does Han Xiao eat: Han Xiao eats brushed mutton "Han Xiao" in the coldest climate of the year, and people are prone to catch a cold. The quickest and most effective way to resist the cold is not a cotton-padded jacket, but a bowl of steaming mutton soup. Mutton is the most cost-effective warm tonic food. If you cook it with some angelica, yam and carrots and season it with onion and ginger, it is recommended to eat it once a week, so as not to get angry and make it a warm winter. What does Han Xiao eat: Han Xiao eats yellow bean sprouts. There are many customs and diets, such as glutinous rice, laba porridge, meals, soybean sprouts and so on. Let's introduce the custom of eating soybean sprouts in the slight cold season. According to "Miscellanies of Jinmen", there was a custom of eating soybean sprouts in Tianjin in the old days. Soybean sprouts are a specialty of Tianjin, made of Chinese cabbage buds. From winter to the future, cut off the stems and leaves of cabbage, leaving only the heart of cabbage, about two inches from the ground, covered with manure, airtight. After half a month, it is crisp and tender, which makes up for the shortage of vegetables in winter. Modern people's living standards have improved, and all kinds of vegetables and meat are available all year round, so they are no longer worried about the scarcity of vegetables in winter as in the past. What does Xiao Han eat? Let me sum up: when I entered the slight cold solar term, I also entered several cold days, and my diet was mainly tonic in winter. When the winter is dry and cold, medical experts remind people to pay attention to winter health preservation, and especially emphasize "nourishing the kidney to prevent cold": it is necessary to replenish blood and qi and yin and yang. There is also a saying in folk proverbs that "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year", which shows the importance of health preservation and tonic in winter. As the saying goes, "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer without a doctor's prescription" is a tonic, and the custom of eating more mutton and dog meat in winter is also a tonic. Don't be greedy for greasy and spicy food, but focus on invigorating qi and moistening dryness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold is yin evil, and the coldest solar term is also the most prosperous period of yin evil. From the point of view of diet health, we should pay special attention to eating more warm food in our daily diet to supplement our health and prevent the invasion of cold climate to our bodies.
