Folklore:

There is a saying in the north that "jiaozi lies on both sides, and pancakes spread eggs on three sides". It is a traditional custom to eat jiaozi on the head, because when it rains, people have a bad appetite and can't eat anything, while jiaozi is a food that stimulates and satisfies the appetite in the traditional customs of China people.

At least since the Three Kingdoms period, eating noodles the next day has become a custom. According to Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals, "Lie in the sun, wipe your sweat with a towel and look at Jiao Ran" makes people realize that white skin is white, not covered with powder. The "soup cake" here is hot soup noodles.

In dog days, you can not only drink hot noodle soup, but also drink water. Welfare can also eat "fried noodles". The so-called fried noodles are fried and cooked in a pot, and then mixed with water and sugar to eat. This way of eating has existed since the Han Dynasty. It was more common in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time, the wheat was cooked first, and then the pasta was ground.
