What traditional food do you eat in summer in Northeast China?

In summer in Northeast China, we usually eat noodles, jiaozi, eggs, lotus seed soup and mutton soup. Around the Great Summer, it is the hottest, fastest-growing and most critical period of the year. Because it is a hot season, people pay great attention to diet in dog days, which is called "sticky fat" in the north.

According to historical records, the eating habit of eating noodles in rainy days began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. Because people's appetites are not good every dog days, and in the traditional customs of China people, pasta is food to satisfy their appetites. In the past, people's living conditions were very poor, and they had a bad appetite in the cold summer. When they fell asleep, they had just finished harvesting wheat. Eating jiaozi is a way to improve their lives.
