Linyi people celebrate February 2, and farmers begin to prepare raw materials for fried sugar beans. On the morning of February 2, every household fried peanuts and soybeans with sugar. Some places are called sugar beans, some places are called scorpion beans, and some places are called popcorn. In the past, they used to cook their own food, but now it's different. There is usually no home cooking. Supermarkets in urban and rural markets were filled with all kinds of sugar beans around February 2, about a dozen or more.
