What does changxia from Ningde eat?

Light cakes, spring rolls, butterfly bags

On this day, Ningde people have their own special customs. This custom is mainly reflected in the diet in the long summer. Long summer was eaten at noon. On this day's lunch, people have the habit of eating cakes, spring rolls and butterfly buns (shaped like butterflies), and some people have the habit of eating eggs with five dates.

A light cake

East Fujian mainly eats "light cakes" (flour baked with a little salt) in the long summer. Zhouning, Fu 'an and other places in eastern Fujian soaked the light cake in water and made it into dishes, while Jiaocheng, Fuding and other places cut the light cake in half and ate fried bean sprouts, leeks, meat and waste vegetables.

Butterfly bag, spring rolls

In Jiaocheng District, the masses fry bean sprouts, leeks and minced meat, put them into "butterfly bags", or put them in flour bags to eat as spring rolls. Because the pronunciation of "Long Xia" has a local accent, which is a bit like "stuffing". Some people joke that it is just to eat enough and spend the hot summer.

Milk guifei porridge

I don't know since when, a bowl of milk porridge has become a patent for Ningde people to cool off in the hot summer afternoon. In Ningde, glutinous rice porridge is called "Guifei porridge" with honey water and "Milk Guifei porridge" with milk. The key to a bowl of imperial concubine porridge is glutinous rice, q-bomb, soft and glutinous, and chewy. Only by collecting these three contradictory characteristics can a bowl of Ningde's unique summer delicacy be achieved!
