Lunar New Year's Eve to eat "five beans" Shanxi Pu County has a lunar New Year's Eve to eat "five beans" customary habits, the so-called "five beans" is not five kinds of beans, but refers to the five grains and cereals. Customarily, people are the red beans, green beans, corn, wheat, beans and other five kinds of grains at the same time in the pot cooked, and then with yam, pumpkin, cabbage braised in a piece of food. There is also a story here as to why. Once upon a time, there is a family in the city surnamed Zhang's great wealth, the family's light life is quite magnetic, there are several yards, good land less than dozens of hectares, brocade goods store, silver goods store, there are bad room grocery store, really want to be very very. The shopkeeper's foot on the ground, the city is shaken to move miles, that is, the county magistrate to take office, have to go to visit him first. Unfortunately, he gave birth to a son, but lazy cramp miles, that is really not afraid to starve to death, and even Tsui are afraid of harm to move a day, all day long know eat, drink, whore and gamble, married a daughter-in-law is all the way to the gods, soon, to the old man of the money on the living gas died. The two couples now more lawless, others advised them not to dare to spend, they also said "all right". Casinos are bottomless pits, three years down the line, the light was poured dry, a few yards, the land and stores have been sold to Cao's. By the fourth year, the two couples even sold the land to Cao's. The two couples were not even able to get the money. In the fourth year, the two families do not even have a decent place to live, so they had to move to the original house of a long-time workers to live. By the fifth day of the first lunar month, the northwest wind whistled and roared, tearing cotton like snowflakes flying in the sky, but the family did not have any food. Long house because of the lazy repair, was also pressed to the crooked, the two squat on the kang, freezing straight shivering, hungry stomach in front of the back of the heart. At this time, I heard a mouse squeaking fight on the ground, fighting for a spike of sticks, they went down to chase, two mice Qi are scurrying into the bottom of the barn. They moved away from a few empty barn Tun, Tun along the bottom of the edge of the grain particles still pressed some did not sweep clean, so they hurriedly picked up, a few kinds of grains together a big bowl, casually cooked to the pot. When cooked, just ready to scoop the rice, the rickety thatched roof was blown by the wind and collapsed, and the two families were all crushed inside. Cao family shopkeeper happened to pass by here, see the house collapsed, rushed to call for help, rushed to plow out, the two families are dead. Stove side, because there is a purlin stretcher, rice pot is still intact, the pot is still drumming simmering, he uncovered a look, a musty smell straight to the nostrils. In order to educate the Cao family descendants of thrift, do not like the two families, like sitting on the mountain empty, told the Cao family members present to eat a mouthful of "five beans", and stipulated that every year on the fifth day of the first month of the Chinese New Year, every family to eat "five beans," in order to always remember this lesson. After doing so, the Cao family vibration is really not small, so later the Cao family in Puxian City, the more the more development, the other surnames of the family also have to follow suit. On the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the custom of eating "five beans" was gradually formed.
