It is said that it was invented by using homonyms to urge debtors to pay back their money. We all know that Laba garlic is a famous specialty snack in northern China, especially in North China. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, peeled garlic is pressed tightly into the jar, and then rice vinegar is added to soak it. When the jar is opened on New Year's Eve, you will find that the garlic cloves in the jar have become green and beautiful, and they are even more sour and delicious, with excellent flavor.

However, some people say that the Laba garlic was originally invented for debt collection. It is said that a long time ago, a family borrowed money from someone else's family and didn't pay it back. The borrower was not in a hurry to pay back, and the borrower was not too embarrassed to urge him to pay back, so the debt was dragged on until the twelfth lunar month. Entering the twelfth lunar month means the Chinese New Year. Every household is anxious to wait for money at this time, and the one who is borrowed is no exception.

There are a few radish heads at home, elders to be served by both sides, and relatives to move around. They can't come up with so much money at once, so the people who have borrowed money are very upset. At this time, it suddenly occurred to them that they still had a large sum of money lent out, so the owner of the borrowed money went to the one that borrowed money and wanted them to pay back the money, but after wandering around other people's homes for a long time, he returned to his own home.

I'm sorry to ask for money back, but people don't take the initiative to pay back. What can I do? At this time, the clever hostess suddenly remembered her pickled Laba garlic on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so she asked her husband to send a can to someone who borrowed money. When the borrower saw that the creditor had sent garlic, he felt very embarrassed and returned the money. It turns out that "garlic" and "calculation" are homonyms, and it is really excellent to inform people who borrow money and don't pay it back.
