Customs of Dragon Boat Festival in Meitan, Guizhou Province: Brown-leaf red sweat vegetables

Compared with other places, the Dragon Boat Festival in Meitan seems to be much simpler. For example, dragon boat racing, drinking realgar wine and making herbal tea are rare in Meitan. However, the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival "Eating Zongzi" has been in Meitan for many years, but the Zongzi in Meitan seems to be slightly different from other places.

Jiaozi of Meitan people, like other places, is made of the best glutinous rice. When people in Meitan eat zongzi, they often dip in sugar and soybeans. They think that this will enhance the aroma of glutinous rice and zongzi leaves without destroying the taste at all. In addition, during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household in Meitan will eat red sweat vegetables, which is what we often call amaranth. It's basically simple garlic, which smells delicious when fried. I especially like the red soup at the bottom of the plate, which is as thick as rouge.
