People in China, Chinese Valentine's Day often eat the following foods:

1. Eat proper fruit. Proper fruit is one of the festive foods in Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as Qixi Fruit and Qiqiao Fruit. It is not a kind of fruit, but a cake made of flour, oil, sugar and honey with various patterns related to the legend of Qixi, and then fried and fried. Before getting married, ancient women wanted to be skillful, so they "begged for ingenuity" by eating proper fruit, hoping that the Weaver Girl could give them a pair of skillful hands. Because of the homonym of "Qiao" and "Bridge", people think that eating proper fruit on Tanabata can not only help the cowherd and the weaver girl meet at the bridge, but also realize their wishes through "Qiao (Bridge)".

2. Eat smart bud noodles. In addition to eating proper fruit, some places eat Qiaoya noodles on Tanabata Day. The "bud" in Qiaoya noodles refers to mung bean sprouts, which must be born seven days in advance and can be eaten when the bean sprouts grow to 3 cm. Stir-fry mung bean sprouts with shredded pork, add water to boil, and add seasoning to make bean sprout soup. The noodles are cooked and caught in a bowl, and the bean sprout soup is poured on it, which is the "smart bud noodles".

3. Eat melon. Of course, fruits and vegetables are indispensable in Chinese Valentine's Day. Skillful women will carve melons and fruits into strange birds, or emboss patterns on the surface of melons and fruits to worship the weaver girl and entertain guests, which is called "flower melon".
