What do the north and the south eat in summer?

Summer is one of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, and the sun is located in the yellow meridian 120. In the hot summer, China people have the custom of drinking tea, drying ginger, burning incense and drinking mutton soup.

First, the northern customs

In summer, northerners pay attention to "sticky fat" and eat noodles, jiaozi and eggs. Beijingers will also make iced sour plum soup and sell it along the street. Because every dog day, people's appetite is not good, and in our traditional customs in China, pasta and sweet and sour are the best choices for appetizing and relieving boredom. In addition, there is a custom of drinking lotus seed soup and mutton soup in northern Renye Fang.

1. Su Sanxian is the most classic vegetarian jiaozi in jiaozi. You can eat all kinds of ingredients in one bite. Eggs are salty and palatable, leeks are juicy, and fungus is crisp. I have to say: delicious but jiaozi.

2. Mutton soup Northerners have the custom of "drinking summer sheep" in midsummer, that is, drinking mutton soup. In dog days, heat accumulates in the human body. Drinking a bowl of mutton soup makes you sweat all over, which can take away the heat accumulated in the five internal organs and expel toxins from the body.

The temperature of sour plum soup soared in summer. In this "bitter summer", what can make us quench our thirst, cool off the heat and refresh ourselves? Speaking of this, you will definitely think of Beijing's Beijing-flavored drink-old Beijing sour plum soup.

Second, the southern customs

Southerners like to eat all kinds of cool vegetarian dishes before and after the summer solar terms, which are crisp and refreshing, making people have an appetite. In addition, many places in Guangdong also have the custom of "eating fairy grass" in summer.

1. Cold salad, prepare your favorite ingredients, and add a versatile cold salad juice to refresh yourself. You don't have to go to the kitchen to endure the high temperature of lampblack on a hot day.

2. Red bean taro grass burning grass A red bean taro grass burning grass consists of the following parts: honey red bean, three-color taro (sweet potato, purple potato, taro), burning grass, cooked peanuts and milk. It's really cool to take a bite!
