Today is the vernal equinox of the twenty-four solar terms. On the vernal equinox, the sun shines almost directly on the equator of the earth, and the whole world is almost as long as day and night. The seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite. In the northern hemisphere, it is the vernal equinox, and in the southern hemisphere, it is the autumnal equinox. At the vernal equinox, the direct point of the sun is on the equator. Theoretically, the whole world is as long as day and night. After the vernal equinox, the direct point of the sun continued to move northward, with the days getting longer and the nights getting shorter in the northern hemisphere and the nights getting longer and shorter in the southern hemisphere. In every solar term, there are our traditional customs and food customs.

Today is the vernal equinox. Xiaobian is here to share with you the food customs and customs of the vernal equinox. The old tradition needs the inheritance of each of us. Let's take a look!

One: Spring pancake

In the north, people in the north will definitely eat a traditional food-Spring Cake at the vernal equinox. The reason why they eat Spring Cake is that everything recovers in spring, and many vegetables are growing. Using Spring Cake Roll is not only delicious, but also implies a bumper harvest. Eating Spring Cake Roll is also a symbol of spring, which means welcoming the spring.

Practice of Spring Cake: Ingredients used: 400g flour, boiled water100g, cold water110g, a little peanut oil. Side dishes: shredded potatoes, shredded ham and lettuce.

1, add boiling water to the flour, scald the noodles and stir well, then add a little cold water to make a dough with moderate hardness, knead the dough well, put it in a basin and cover it and let it stand for a while.

2. Knead the dough into long strips, pull it into small doses, press it flat, roll it into thin skin, and you can make it. If you roll two sheets at a time, you need to grease the middle to avoid sticking.

3, the pan is hot, put on the rolled pancake, it will bubble when it is branded, and this pancake is the best.

4, while rolling and branding, one can be branded in 1 minute, and it will be uncovered after it is done. The prepared spring cake is soft and strong, and it will not be hard for 3 days.

Two: snowballing.

In the north, you have to eat snowballing usury at the vernal equinox in order to avoid evil spirits and pray. The origin of snowballing usury is extraordinary, and its production is divided into three processes: blank making, stuffing and molding. The well-made "snowballing donkey" is covered with bean flour, which is golden yellow, sweet and soft, and has a unique flavor. It is a food suitable for all ages and a traditional food that must be eaten at the vernal equinox.

The practice of snowballing usury:

1, put glutinous rice flour in a big container, stir with chopsticks while pouring water, until there is no dry powder, put a small amount of corn oil in the plate, brush it evenly with a brush, and steam the dough into a cake shape for 20 minutes.

2. Take out the steamed dough, let it cool for a while and then use it. Add a little oil to prevent adhesion and knead it into a smooth dough.

3. Put the dough directly on the chopping board, roll it into a thinner dough with a rolling pin, and evenly spread a layer of bean paste.

4, roll it up evenly from one end, cut it into small pieces with a knife, sieve a layer of cooked soybean powder, and you can eat it. The fragrant soft glutinous rice is delicious.

1 thing: spring outing

The vernal equinox is coming, and the weather is already very warm. In ancient times, we had to go for an outing. Now we can take our families out for an outing and feel the sunshine in spring.

While eating and drinking, fly a kite. In traditional customs, flying a kite symbolizes prosperity and represents a wish of ordinary people for a good day.

In festivals or solar terms, the folk customs vary from place to place, but the people's yearning for a better life and a healthy body is the same. On the day of the vernal equinox, eat traditional food and go out to have a look at the great rivers and mountains. I hope our life is getting better and better.
