For children in Northeast China, canned yellow peach is not just an ordinary canned food. For a long time, parents in Northeast China have regarded canned yellow peach as a "panacea" to cure all diseases.

They scored 111 points and ate canned yellow peach.

If you have a cold and a fever, eat canned peaches;

Give gifts at home, and eat canned peaches

...

There is even a saying that if you come to a northeast home and a bowl of canned peaches is served at the top of the table, don't think that this is the host family fooling you, because canned peaches are the highest etiquette on the table of northeast families. No matter how many dishes are on the table, whenever canned peaches appear, it means that you are not regarded as an outsider.

Many grown-up Northeasters still believe that canned peaches can cure all diseases. Domineering Xiao Yang always cries out to eat canned peaches when he is ill. In "Country Love", even Xie Fei, who is called "the reincarnation of magic pill" by Liu Neng, is easily handled by canned peaches.

I am a native of Northeast China. When I was a child, the following things were often included in the New Year's Eve dinner at home, otherwise it would not be a complete New Year's Eve dinner.

to have fish means to have more than one year;

There should be elbows, chicken feet and pig's feet to "scratch and eat", which means pulling wealth home like a pork chop;

You should have jiaozi, Chinese cabbage stuffing is rich, leek stuffing is rich for a long time, and you can't have sauerkraut stuffing, because Chinese New Year is sweet and happy;

The most important thing is to have canned peaches, but no one can tell what it means.

As a foodie, when I was a child, every time I got sick, I didn't even need an injection. My parents patted the bottom of the glass jar with their palms, and the bottle cap that I couldn't pry open before could be easily opened. I sat on the bed and held the bowl, and the sweet and cold taste soaked my throat. More metaphysically, I felt my body slowly recovered after a while, so that when I was a child, I was always said that it was because I was greedy and pretending to be sick. Not only that, before the new century, many people will give canned peaches when giving gifts. Even now, when visiting patients, many people will carry a bottle or two of canned peaches. Last year, when my father was hospitalized for rehabilitation, my mother made a special phone call and asked for canned yellow peaches.

The origin of the argument that canned yellow peaches have medicinal value, which has been popular for decades, has been untraceable. However, many people believe that this is more or less related to homophonic metaphysics-the word "peach" of yellow peach is homophonic with "escape", and eating canned yellow peach when sick means "escape from the disease as soon as possible". After word of mouth from generation to generation, it has become an "optimistic expectation" for people in Northeast China in the face of diseases. Moreover, although most of them are psychological effects, yellow peaches are rich in vitamins and carotene. Many manufacturers will add some nutrients such as vitamins when they produce. Although it is not much, it is somewhat beneficial to the human body. Coupled with the legendary rock sugar that is higher than sugar, many people think that the nutrition is definitely higher, perhaps.

As we all know, it is somewhat cold in winter in Northeast China (that is, it is minus 21 or 31 degrees). Even people wearing down jackets will feel cold at this temperature, not to mention fruits, so people in Northeast China are short of fresh fruits and vegetables in winter. Often in autumn, people in Northeast China will eat potatoes, cabbages, green onions and so on, because there is really nothing to eat in winter. Therefore, the right time, the right place and the right people determined the popularity of canned yellow peaches in Northeast China in that era of underdeveloped materials.

In fact, in the final analysis, the explosion of the canned peach god, just like the later "pancake fruit god", "Chinese hamburger god" and "rice noodle god" and other delicacies, is more about the homesickness of the wanderers and their relatives, and is also a memory of their childhood and growth.

Finally,

No matter where you are as a child in Northeast China,

I hope to have dreams in my heart and light in my eyes

and pray that the God of Canned Yellow Peach can bless you forever.
