What traditional food do you eat in summer in the south?

In summer in the south, we eat Xiancao and drink Xiayang Lianzi soup.

1, drink summer sheep

In southern Shandong, there is a custom of "drinking summer sheep" (that is, drinking mutton soup) on the day of summer heat. In Zaozhuang city, many citizens go to the local mutton soup kitchen to "drink summer sheep" in the hot summer. The habit of eating Fu sheep in Zaozhuang is related to the local farming and climate. Nutritionists have conducted in-depth research on this and think that the nutritional level of mutton in dog days is the highest.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, lotus seed soup has been the most popular in Fukui. Medicine believes that lotus seeds are sweet and flat in nature, and have the functions of nourishing the spleen and astringent intestines, nourishing the heart and benefiting the kidney. Drinking lotus seed soup every day in summer can strengthen the heart and ambition, nourish the heart and benefit the spleen. Middle-aged and elderly people eat it, which makes people healthy and beneficial to health.

Many places in Guangdong have the custom of "eating fairy grass" in summer. Cao Xian, also known as Xiancao and Cao Xian, is an important medicinal and edible plant resource.
