What are the eight eccentrics in Yunnan?

The first strange: eggs are sold with straw skewers.

Many places in Yunnan are mountainous areas with rugged roads. Farmers take eggs to the market and sell them. If they are not careful, they will break them. The farmer thought of a way to weave bamboo sticks or wheat straw into a long rope with ten eggshells, and each egg was separated so that it would not be damaged during transportation. After customers buy home, they can hang them on the wall and take as many as they want.

The second monster: take off your hat as a pot cover.

Bamboo is produced in Yunnan, and there are large bamboo forests in front of and behind every household in rural areas. "Relying on mountains to eat, relying on water to eat, and relying on bamboo to eat bamboo", many household appliances in Yunnan are made of bamboo.

The pot covers of mainland families are usually made of metal or wood. The pot cover in Yunnan is made of bamboo. This kind of bamboo pot cover is very similar to the hat used in the mainland, but slightly smaller, so it is laughed at as "taking off the hat as a pot cover" The bamboo pot cover has the function of ventilation and heat preservation, and the cooked food is fragrant and delicious.

The third monster: three mosquitoes and a plate

20 17, a guest of an inn in Lijiang, Yunnan said there were mosquitoes in the room, but the staff of the inn said, "This (mosquito) is our pet. If it is smoked, it costs 100 yuan each. "

Of course, the innkeeper is picking holes. But because of the hot weather in Yunnan, it is true that there are many mosquitoes and flies all year round. Moreover, there are many mosquitoes in Yunnan, and the harm of biting people is even greater. So people call it "three mosquitoes and one dish". It is not clear whether Yunnan people really regard some mosquitoes as food.

The fourth monster: carrying a doll to fall in love.

Once upon a time, there were girls of Yi nationality in Yunnan who didn't leave their husbands' marriage customs. After the Yi girl got married, she stayed in her husband's house for two or three days and then returned home. She settled in her mother's house and stayed with her family. At this time, the husband will occasionally visit his wife to fulfill his obligations and enjoy his rights. After the wife gave birth to the child, she officially settled in her husband's family and began to fall in love. The couple are "holding a doll and falling in love."

So there is such a jingle: "The whole country is looking forward to Ding Sheng, who will return to China in a few days after his marriage. When the dolls meet again, parents will see their parents get married. "

The fifth monster: grasshoppers can be used as appetizers.

Grasshopper is a delicacy in Yunnan-"jumping vegetables". This dish is made by scalding grasshoppers with boiling water and removing their wings. Then put the grasshopper in the pot and roast it slowly with low fire. When it turns brown, add spices such as sesame oil and pepper and you can pour the wine. This baked grasshopper is crispy and delicious, and it is a rare appetizer.

The sixth monster: monks can fall in love.

Yunnan borders Myanmar, Laos and other Southeast Asian countries. These Southeast Asian countries are very Buddhist. When a man reaches a certain age, he must enter a temple and become a monk. When I grow up, I will return to the secular life and live a secular life of getting married and having children. ?

The seventh monster: the old lady climbs the mountain faster than the monkey.

Yunnan province is almost mountainous, and there are few large open and flat areas. In the past, due to the difficult production and living conditions, Qigutian, like Yunnan, had to go out to work. They climbed mountains, cut firewood and cultivated land, and developed a vigorous figure and foot strength.

Therefore, people who travel to Yunnan will be surprised to find that some 70-or 80-year-old women in rural Yunnan are as light as swallows when climbing mountains. This is the so-called "old woman climbs mountains faster than monkeys".

The eighth monster: cars are faster than trains.

There are many mountains and valleys in Yunnan, and there are mountains everywhere, so the railway has many bends and steep slopes. For the sake of driving safety, the speed of the train will become so slow after entering the mountainous area of Yunnan that the speed will be faster when driving together.
