Solar Term and Food: Summer Mung Bean Porridge

Cooking is very hard, I hope it will clear up after the rain, and occasionally there will be a thunderstorm and rainbow.

Drought in the south and waterlogging in the north are different, but the color and taste of the lotus pond are the same.

Today's light summer is the eleventh solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term in summer. Summer is hot. The ancients thought that the summer heat period was not the hottest time of the year, so it was called summer heat. The ancients explained the solar terms of summer heat in this way: "June Festival ... summer heat is also hot, so the summer equinox is small at the beginning of the month and big at the end of the month. Today it is still hot."

The highest temperature today is 27℃, and the lowest is 19℃, with showers and no thunderstorms. Today is really hot and stuffy. We, a small town in the northeast, never have to look forward to the wind and rain, even if it is boiled and steamed, because the wind and rain will always come unexpectedly. The park outside the company was closed for reconstruction. I wonder if the lotus flowers are in bloom there?

It's a little summer, and the weather is hot. My health preservation starts with diet. At this time, people have the custom of eating eel, honey lotus root and mung bean sprouts. We don't produce Monopterus albus here, and the lotus root hasn't grown yet, but mung bean sprouts are very popular. However, we have to cook a pot of mung bean porridge, rice, glutinous rice and mung beans.
