Sisters' Day Sister Meal

Girls soak the colors of wild flowers and fruits, dye glutinous rice red and yellow, and make sister rice. The steamed glutinous rice is colorful, crystal clear, beautiful, soft and delicious. On the festival day, every family eats sister meals. The girls' hearts are also hidden in this girl's rice.

The girls wrapped the sister meal in handkerchiefs or baskets and gave it to the young man who had been with her for two days. The young man opened the rice bag. If there is a pair of red chopsticks on my sister's meal, it means that this girl likes him and is willing to make friends with him. If there is only one chopstick, it is that the girl gently hints to the young man that she should stop unrequited love.

If there are peppers, onions and garlic on the sister's meal, it means that the girl doesn't like him, and the interesting guy is going to shift his target; If there are leaves and pine needles on the sisters' dinner, it is to tell the young man that there is at least hope, and the young man should buy some silks and satins or silk threads for the girl to strengthen contact and understanding.
