Old tradition, half armor, old tradition

As the saying goes, "Spring rains startle the spring and clear the valley", among the 24 solar terms, Grain Rain is more particular. Before and after Grain Rain, it was also the busiest time for cultivators. At this time, the rainfall is more than before, and people will be busy planting seedlings and picking melons and beans. The Ming Dynasty agricultural book "Er Ru Pavilion Group Room Spectrum" says: "Grain Rain, the valley grows with the rain." How can you forget such an important thing? Moreover, there is a saying in the folk proverb: "Planting wheat in Qingming Festival is busy, while Grain Rain goes to the fields".

Besides being busy planting crops, is there anything particular about diet? Before and after Grain Rain, don't lose the old tradition. Remember that "Toona sinensis in the north and tea in the south" means good health. Northerners eat Toona sinensis and southerners drink grain rain tea, which is also the most important thing in the grain rain season. It symbolizes good health.

Due to the differences in climate and geographical location, generally speaking, like some wild vegetables, the south is one month earlier than the north. Toona sinensis is eaten in March in the south and April in the north, which is mainly affected by climate.

In the north of Grain Rain, Toona sinensis is on the market, and the folks have long said: "Toona sinensis buds are tender before the rain, and Toona sinensis buds grow after the rain." Therefore, before and after arriving in Grain Rain, you should eat some Toona sinensis, which can play a dietotherapy role of invigorating stomach, moistening skin, resisting bacteria and diminishing inflammation. Missed this best season, Toona sinensis buds became old and lost their edible value.

Here are some suggestions on how to eat Toona sinensis. When we buy Toona sinensis, we should try to choose the tender buds, so that its nitrite content is the lowest. In addition, if you fry with eggs, don't add monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, because Toona sinensis itself contains a lot of umami substances. Finally, blanch it as much as possible, so it will be relatively healthy to eat.

Proverb: "Grain Rain, Grain Rain, tea picking is against the rain." Grain Rain tea, second only to Qingming tea, has moderate temperature and abundant rainfall in spring. At this time, the tea buds are green in color, soft in leaves and rich in vitamins and amino acids. Pick it back and fry it, then make tea and drink it. The aroma is pleasant.

Although the grain rain tea is good, we should also pay attention to it. Don't drink too much or strong tea at a time, especially at night, or drink less tea, otherwise it will easily lead to insomnia. Tea should be light. In addition, if it is pure and pollution-free tea, we can actually use it to cook.

For example, make a five-grain rain tea porridge, wash the tea leaves, boil them into juice, then put them in japonica rice and stew them slowly until they are thick. You can also use them to fry shrimp.

Before and after Grain Rain, tea actually had many uses. It is usually used to make tea in our local area. Every household goes to pick tea, then after fixing, rolling and drying, put it in a small jar, which can be preserved and taken out when drinking. I remember growing rice at home at that time, and every time I went to farm work, I would bring a big teapot and tea at home. Drinking tea when thirsty can not only relieve fatigue, but also quench thirst to some extent.

Grain Rain is here, remember not to lose the old tradition. Toona sinensis in the north is fresh and tender, and tea in the south is fragrant. It's time to taste it
