In the north, pasta is usually eaten during the summer heat. When the summer heat comes, it is usually the hottest time of the year. At this time, the wheat harvest in the north has ended, and all kinds of newly planted crops are growing rapidly. The summer heat is being processed during the slack season. At this time, ordinary people will make some pasta with freshly ground noodles to eat, so they can rest and enjoy it.

For pasta, there are different practices because of different eating habits in different places. For example, Shanxi will eat some cold noodles and scissors noodles, while Henan will eat Huimian Noodles, and Beijing will not only eat some pasta, but also make some iced sour plum soup. There is also the custom of drinking mutton soup and eating noodles in southern Shandong.
