2. Shanghai: Toufu wonton, Erfu tea: Shanghai has always had the custom of "Toufu wonton and Erfu tea". In the hot and dry summer with poor appetite, a bowl of cold wonton flavored with peanut butter, a little soy sauce and vinegar is mixed to eat, which is cold and pleasant, but also greatly increases the appetite. Compared with jiaozi, wonton is thin and transparent after being cooked. In addition, it takes a short time to cook wonton, and cold water needs to be added several times during the process of cooking dumplings to ensure its ripeness. In addition, dumplings are heavily dipped and wonton is heavily soup.
3. Changsha: Dogs lie on their heads, chickens lie on their feet, and turtles lie on their feet. There is a saying among Changsha folks that "dogs lie on their heads, chickens lie on their feet, and turtles lie on their feet". "Fu dog" and "Fu chicken" can tonify deficiency and help yang, and warm the interior and dispel cold. For people who are weak in yang and afraid of cold on weekdays, eating dogs and chickens in dog days can play a role in warming up and eliminating cold and dampness, which is in line with what Chinese medicine says: "treating winter diseases in summer" and "nourishing yang in spring and summer". However, for people with yin deficiency constitution, people who usually show feverish hands and feet, red face, irritability and big temper, as well as patients with hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, stomach diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, they should be cautious when eating dogs and chickens, and it is better to eat less or not. Soft-shelled turtle has the effects of nourishing yin, clearing heat, invigorating spleen and appetizing, and is suitable for people with yin deficiency and internal heat. However, patients with liver and gastrointestinal diseases and pregnant women should eat less or not.
4, Nanchang: ups and downs to eat a chicken, a year of good health: there is a saying in traditional folk customs in Jiangxi that "the head is full of chickens and ducks." Nanchang folk proverb says, "Eat a chicken in ups and downs, and you will be healthy for a year." Because people consume more physical energy in dog days, they must be properly supplemented with nutrition. In addition, there is also a saying in Hunan and Jiangxi that "the head is full of chickens and ducks". Legend has it that there is a "rule" for people in Hunan to eat chicken head first: to close the doors and windows, you must wear long-sleeved clothes, put on shoes and socks neatly, and tie up your trousers with ropes. You are not allowed to use fans, cattail leaf fans and the like, and then pour a small glass of wine and eat it slowly, sweating profusely, just like confinement in the dog days?
5. Hangzhou: You should eat golden and silver hooves with ham on your head and chicken on your feet on your feet. In Hangzhou, in the old days, when you were on your feet, rich people wanted to "eat golden and silver hooves with ham on your head and chicken on your feet on your feet", while the poor people who were nervous at hand were "melon on your head and eggplant on your feet, and melon on your feet didn't peel". Ham has the effects of invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, promoting fluid production and benefiting blood. In summer, people often lose appetite and lack nutrition. Ham is rich in nutrition, not greasy when eaten, and can stimulate appetite. When cooked with wax gourd, ham is nutritious and can prevent heatstroke and dispel diseases. Ham soup also has a tonic effect, and foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, can be added to eliminate the concern of cancer caused by pickled food. Now, ham and hoof have already entered the homes of ordinary people, and wax gourd and eggplant have become popular seasonal vegetables for everyone. Meat is greasy, and eating too much will easily burden the stomach. It is best to cook it with fruits and vegetables such as melon and lotus root.
6, Xuzhou: Fuyang a bowl of soup, no prescription: "Fuyang a bowl of soup, no prescription." According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, mutton belongs to nourishing yin food, which can nourish yin in spring and summer. Eating mutton in summer has a good effect of tonifying deficiency and strengthening strength, and it can remove toxins from the body by heating with heat, sweating and detoxification. In parts of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province and Xiaoxian County, Anhui Province, it is believed that after being nourished in spring and winter, sheep have gained fat and tender meat, and the soup stewed from their meat is mellow and tasteless. In dog days, people accumulate accumulated heat in their bodies, and after drinking mutton soup with sheep oil, vinegar and coriander, they sweat all over to dispel the accumulated heat in their bodies.
