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 smart bud noodles on Tanabata. 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".
