What does Wenzhou Egret eat? Ten kinds of white rice and hairtail rice.

"Sad autumn will be late, and numerous dew has become frost. All reeds are white first and hedges are yellow. " With the arrival of the Millennium solar terms, everything in the world seems to be infected with a bleak atmosphere. In this crisp autumn season, the customs of solar terms in many parts of China are related to food supplement, presumably to make energy reserves for the increasingly cold weather. So today's calendar will introduce you to what Wenzhou eats in the Millennium solar terms.

People in Cangnan and Pingyang, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, collected "ten kinds of whites" (also known as "three kinds of whites") on this day and stewed black-bone white-haired chickens (or ducks), which were said to nourish their bodies. These "ten kinds of white" are ten kinds of herbs with the word "white", such as hibiscus, white hair bitter and so on, which literally corresponds to "white dew"

There is a saying that the "Ten White Samples" include Radix Paeoniae Alba, Rhizoma Bletillae, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, White Lablab, Rhizoma Bletillae, Lalang Grass Rhizome, White Yam, Lily, Poria, and Radix Solani, which literally corresponds to "White Dew".

There is another version of the folk "Ten White Samples" in Ruian and Pingyang in southern Zhejiang, including Maowukou (white on holly), Aralia elata (Bai Niao never rests), Acanthopanax Senticosus (white thorn), Euonymus fortunei (white kidney), Mirabilis jalapa (white rouge), Caulis Spatholobi (white skin) and Clematis.

Local people collect these "ten kinds of whites" in the white dew season or after winter, and stew them with chicken or pig's trotters. It is said that they can cure lumbar muscle strain and relieve rheumatoid arthritis to some extent.

With the arrival of Bailu tea season, many Wenzhou citizens will pick tea and make tea on this day, commonly known as "Bailu tea". The quality of tea picked around the Millennium is particularly good. Even after soaking for two or three times, the tea taste is still very strong. Besides tea, water lotus root is also the most suitable season for grinding into powder. Old Wenzhou said that lotus root is the oldest and tastes the most "pink" in the Millennium. Lotus root starch can be dried and stored, eaten in winter and taken away by blisters.

In Dongtou, Wenzhou, the custom of egrets is closely related to the local marine environment. The local Bailu produced a lot of hairtail before and after, and the meat was plump. On the Millennium, if guests come to our house, Dongtou people will treat them to hairtail rice.

The so-called hairtail rice is to cook rice in a large iron pot and put a whole uncut hairtail on it. When the rice is cooked, the hairtail is rotten. At this time, the owner will shake the hairtail with both hands, and the hairtail will fall into the rice. After stirring, it will bake delicious hairtail rice, which is delicious but not fishy. This is absolutely delicious food.
