The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 410

"Auspicious words, what's not easy, just praise people!"

"You have to be skillful in boasting!"

Li Yuan: "Actually, it's not just weighing people. Besides this, there are many other interesting customs, and these customs are also different from regions."

"As I know, in Ningbo, Lixia wants to eat bamboo shoots from the feet."

"The bone bamboo shoots should be boiled with black bamboo shoots, and each root should be three or four inches long, so there is no need to cut them open."

"And it is said that there are also some specialties when eating. You have to pick two bamboo shoots of the same thickness and eat them in one bite. It is said that eating can strengthen the bones of the feet, which means that the body is healthy."

"There is also soft vegetables, which is Junta vegetables. It is said that after eating, there will be no prickly heat in summer, and the skin will be as smooth as soft vegetables."

Studio.

"The anchor actually knows our customs?"

"The anchor knows about eating foot bone shoots? Have you been here before?"

"What the anchor said is not wrong, even the details are correct!"

"Is there something more particular? I, a native of Ningbo, don't even know..."

"Now that there are fewer and fewer elderly people, some customs are passed on and then they are broken. In the past, there was indeed a particular emphasis on this."

"We also have the custom of Lixia in Hunan, but instead of cooking black bamboo shoots, we eat soup bowls. We call it Lixia Geng here."

Li Yuan: "Is it the kind made from glutinous rice flour and sage grass? I have eaten it once, and it tastes very good."

Studio.

"That's right, that's it!"

"After eating the Lixia Soup, the stones are trampled into pits!"

"Li Xia ate a ball and crossed the river with one foot."

"Haha, no, especially the boys on our side, who actually heard the old man say this and let us eat soup balls."

"Be content! Soup balls are so delicious..."

"It seems that the customs of each place do still have a big gap."

Li Yuan: "I stayed in Shengzhou for a while when I was studying in university. During the Lixia period in Shengzhou, the local people like to eat eggs with their hearts, bamboo shoots with their legs, and peas with their eyes. The purpose is to pray for the body, mind, and Legs and other important parts are in good health, to prevent illness, and to pass the hot summer smoothly."

"There is also five-color rice in the countryside, which is rice cooked with five-color beans such as red beans, soybeans, black beans, green beans, and mung beans mixed with white japonica rice."

Studio.

"The anchor actually came to Shengzhou?!"

"What? When did you come, anchor? Why don't I know!"

"The five-color rice is gone now, and it's all glutinous rice cooked with Japanese beans."

"Anchors come to our Shanghai! There are many customs of hurting."

"Yes, yes, there are walnut shell boiled eggs in Shengzhou, which are Lixia eggs. And some families also use colored thread to weave egg covers and hang them on the children's chests or on the curtains."

"Yes, yes, there are also five-color silk thread Lixia ropes for children to tie, just to prevent illness."

Li Yuan: "Shanghai... Lixia should eat silkworms."

Studio.

"What are silkworms?"

"What is this? I have been in Shanghai for several years, why haven't I heard of it?"

"The so-called silkworm is a bar-shaped food made of wheat flour and sugar. It is more popular in the suburban counties. It has the same effect as eating eggs, and it is to avoid summer fever."

"During Lixia, many people in Shanghai eat pancakes made of taro and cauliflower."

"That's right, and at noon, regardless of whether you are male, female, old or young, you have to weigh yourself, which is the custom of 'weighing people' that the anchor said."

In the live broadcast room, everyone enthusiastically introduced the customs of their local people.

For example, Tongshan County, HUB Province, regards Lixia as an important festival. Tongshan people eat pickled (strawberry), shrimp, and bamboo shoots in Lixia.

Lixia in southern Fujian eats prawn noodles, and only the sea prawns turn red when cooked, because red is an auspicious color, and prawns are homophonic to summer.

In the Lixia area of ​​Fujian Province, light cakes are mainly eaten, while in Zhouning, Fu'an and other areas in eastern Fujian, light cakes are soaked in water and made into dishes.

Jiaocheng and Fuding will cut light cakes in half, and put fried bean sprouts, leeks, meat, and bad vegetables in it to eat together.

And not only in these places, but also in other places, there are many customs about Lixia.

The origin of Lixia can be traced directly to the end of the Warring States period, that is, 239 BC. At that time, the solar term of Lixia was clearly established.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the importance that ancient people attached to Lixia that there are now rich cultural customs for Lixia in various regions.

Li Yuan: "On the day of Lixia, grasshoppers sing. Another five days, earthworms come out. Another five days, Wang Guasheng."

"This is a proverb. It is said that during the solar term of Lixia, the first thing you hear is the sound of clams, which is what we call the chirping of grasshoppers in the field, and then you can see earthworms digging the soil on the ground. After that, the vines of the king melon began to climb and grow rapidly."

"This is the phenological scene at the beginning of Mengxia."

"According to the standards of climatology, in fact, summer does not start until the daily average temperature reaches a stable level above 22°C. It is only around the beginning of summer, and only in some areas in the south can such a high temperature be reached."

"It's like the current weather in Northeast China, the highest is only about 18 degrees Celsius, and there will be a sudden drop in temperature from time to time."

"However, after the beginning of summer, all the crops have entered the growth period. The winter wheat is flowering and filling, the rape is close to maturity, and the year of the summer harvest is basically a foregone conclusion. Therefore, there is a saying in the agricultural proverb that 'the beginning of summer looks at summer'."

"As for our Northeast, we have officially entered the period from the beginning of summer to the time when we can start busy farming."

"However, the busy farming season in Northeast China is also divided into different regions. The time difference between different regions is as much as half a month. If it weren't for the heavy snow in the past two days, we should also start busy farming here."

"No, we have already planted seeds here."

"It has been raining continuously in the south recently, but looking at the northeast, the recent weather is really good."

"Don't mention it, the south is so humid and scary these days, I don't even bother to go out."

"Hey, this weather will last for a while."

"It rains every day, and I feel very uncomfortable. I always feel bored."

"Yes, yes, me too, I just don't like to move, very tired..."

"I thought I was the only one like this, so it turns out you are all like this?"

Li Yuan: "Spring and summer alternate seasons, it is indeed very easy to get sick, especially heart problems, we should pay special attention."

"The heart is a yang organ and governs yang qi. The yang qi of the heart can promote blood circulation and maintain human life activities. Therefore, the yang heat of the heart not only maintains its own physiological functions, but also has a warming effect on the whole body."

"Not only that, the human body's blood metabolism, sweat regulation, etc., are inextricably linked with the heart."
