Toufu jiaozi: Although it is said that "the heat is in the dog days", however, Toufu is generally only getting hotter gradually, and "everything" has not been fully heated. In other words, "steaming up and cooking down" has just started, and this period is not the hottest among the dogs days, and it will be a bit cool sooner or later. At this time, in the northern region, the wheat harvest and planting in the busy summer is over. When it is cool sooner or later, everyone should do some cultivation techniques and gradually take a nap to avoid the continuous high temperature. Therefore, after busy summer, people sometimes celebrate for a long time, and at the same time make some delicious food supplements. In the past, dumplings were delicious food, and ordinary families could afford them after a bumper harvest, and they also carried out dietotherapy (there were customs such as drinking mutton soup) to keep healthy and spend the hot summer.

Volt surface: the first volt is a "gradual heat", while the second volt has a first volt and then a summer volt. Generally speaking, it can be said that the second volt is the hottest "time period" in a year. This time range has indeed entered the stage of "steaming on the top and cooking on the bottom". On the premise that there is no refrigeration equipment at that time, the continuous high temperature has accelerated everyone's basic metabolism and greatly reduced their appetite, so the folk custom has the saying of "spending the summer thin". Fresh noodles are not only simple, convenient and quick to make, but also relieve the work pressure of cooks and enhance the appetite of those who like noodles. Therefore, the dog days are coming, and in the region dominated by staple food in our northern region, especially in the sultry afternoon, making and eating noodles has become a habit of life.

Spread pancakes and spread eggs in the dog days: The dog days gradually begin on the first Geng day in beginning of autumn, and end on the second Geng day, in other words, the summer heat falls after beginning of autumn. Cold dew, although the cool autumn has not arrived, represents the "end of heat" and the gradual "harvest". At this time, the northern region, sooner or later, in the air, gradually has a slightly thick autumn, and after the second volt, everyone's appetite is slowly improved. Therefore, in many places, there is a saying of "sticking autumn fat". At this time, the strength of the "skinny summer" is slowly dietotherapy home, strengthening the human body and preparing for the autumn rush in advance. Because the living standard of ordinary people was limited at that time, it can be said that making cake-spread eggs is a good product, and baking cakes and hungry-resistant raw eggs fills the nutrients needed by the human body, so it is not difficult to understand this saying.

as the saying goes, "jiaozi is prone to face two, and pancakes and eggs are spread on three", which fully reflects the wisdom of the old ancestors. According to the characteristics of continuous high temperature in dog days, everyone has promoted a set of "dog days" diet plan, which is not only a true portrayal of real life in the past, but also a kind of life wisdom.
